Metastatic breast cancer vlog

[rebeccakarlsson]

Im so sorry for all the confusion on your results. It’s so important to feel that you know what’s happening in your body NOW! There’s no way to relax until you have that info and a plan agreed upon. Side effects are awful for most people. I hardly ever hear of anyone who doesn’t suffer from them. I hope your break gives you some strength back. Your doctors will probably try to get you on antidepressants and other therapies. You can try them if you want. They might make life tolerable. If not, they can be switched out or quit. I understand because I am also experimenting with my treatments at the moment. Also on a break. Such harsh choices we have. None very good. Wishing you the best answers and treatments for you. May you figure it out very soon. Xx

I am so sorry you are going thru this..I had Breast Cancer in 2013, radiotherapy and hormones for 5 years...BUT....now its back Stage 4 Metastatic in my lung.. I also had trouble getting results but here in Australia 🇦🇺 we have Breast Care Nurses and I have been able to phone her and talk.. I think you should talk to your Oncologist about your treatment options as there are several types of drugs available. Ask about anti nausea drugs to help you and rest if you need to. Dont apologise as we are here to support each other. I look forward to your next post..Hopefully you will have some great news and be feeling better.❤❤❤

You can do hard things. The journey might be difficult, but it is what we have. Don't give up.

I am glad you are seeing the positives. I too have stage 4 breast cancer and its a process every day. Its ok to accept that there are good days and bad days, physically and emotionally. We do have to look at and count our blessings but also give ourselves permission to take care of ourselves, listen to our bodies and give ourselves grace. ❤

Please continue to put your needs first. You own nobody anything and you owe you all of your attention. It’s ok to say No to the demands of others for your own YES…it’s ok to be angry, to be frustrated, to be afraid, to be resentful. Allow yourself to feel all that needs to be felt. Listen your own own inner knowing and stand in your power. Cry, kick, speak up and speak out…you are doing amazing…

Put you first…

I’m so sorry you are going through this. You are not alone. You definitely need to be your own advocate. Waiting as long as you did is crazy. Not your fault. Next time give them a week max! Also do a lot of online research to get as knowledgeable as you can. The soonest you can rid this from your body the better. Praying for you.

I'm really glad you posted this but am sorry you are in this position. I think yes the reality of this being life-long stage 4 is finally hitting you and that denial (natural for self-protection) is waining. You need to ask all the questions you have about choosing not taking the targeted therapy or doing it. Advocate and prioritize self-care. Please lean on your social worker and I hope you also have a therapist. Wishing you all the best and ease of symptoms so you can continue functioning at the best level you can. Hugs from me in Massachusetts!❤🌻

I just found your channel today. I feel for you. You are brave. And I would say naturally optimistic. Hope you are eating ok. Hope you have good support.

[norcalraider]

Don't be embarrassed you are amazing

[davidshillito]

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this at such a young have been let down by the Doctors regarding clarity of your diagnosis and where you move forward from am sure it will be made clear at your next meeting and then you will know the plan of action to get rid of this stay strong and write a list of questions you have for you doctor. I'm sure you will get through this uncertain time. Best wishes from a rainy England UK. David. X

Let yourself go through the motions, it is good to process and by trying to be strong all the time, you block yourself to feel all that needs to be felt. My best wishes for the meeting on Monday, I will be thinking of you. Take care.

[marylanglinais]

You are dealing with so much, sweet lady. It sounds like your hope was to have NED and that hope was disappointed, anyone would upset by the uncertainty. I know your friends will understand. You are so young to have to deal with this disease and its treatments and their effects. I can hear how discouraged you are. I hope your team of doctors can give you a more positive outlook than you can see for yourself. You don't have to decide until you talk with them and you can always change your mind on how to proceed. Cancer can't take away who you are! Hugs!

The problem with living with cancer is that it never really ends, the best hope is remission, but that is not guaranteed. Live each day the best you can, because none of us really know what our tomorrow will be. We don’t know when our time will come, no one does, rich or poor, in good health and bad. But I do know a good life is one without regrets.

[karenknight]

You have every reason to be frustrated. I work on the surgery floor and unfortunately some surgeons are not good at communicating to their pts. They basically let your Dr do it. Very frustrating. I’m wondering if they will go back and take out more of the margin… if that margin is clear u will then be NED. Don’t give up hope… extremely frustrating though! Positive vibes on Monday! 🩷😘 Karen

You look great! I can see shadow in my face. Thanks for sharing your treatment and thoughts. Praying 🙏 for you ❤

[geicaify]

Girl I’m with you! I know exactly how you feel about the weight of being on these meds for life. I have the side effects too… and I put on a good face so lots of people think I’m just back to normal… it’s so hard

[blueskyswan]

Thanks for the update. I can totally understand how you must be feeling. sigh.... wow. How disappointing to find out that way....that, you are not, cancer free, as you thought. I'm looking forward to your next update after you see your oncologist. that will be interesting, eh. i can just imagine how devastated you must have been feeling, hearing about those margins! You ARE strong. You can do this. It'll be ok. Keep us updated.

[JEX-wh]

I am DISGUSTED that no one responded to you after results were released. Can you change oncologists?

[denisepaulsenful]

You don’t have to apologize to us. That’s not what a You Tube support channel expects. We have no expectations. Whatever you feel you want to share with us is more than we can ever expect from you beautiful girl. ❤️ So try to remember that. It must be so very difficult for you to make this decision. I don’t know if a doctor can predict the outcome of what is likely to happen if you stop the targeted treatment. Or if they know they’re unlikely to pin themselves down for they can’t predict how your body will respond to no treatment. You seem to be doing well without the treatment so I’d say stay off it until you show more signs of the disease. But until then I really do wish you the best of days. One of my sons passed away on July 14th. I had twin sons. Both 27-years old. Karsten was BiPolar and he struggled with his illness. Life can be so difficult at times as you know more than most of us. But the pain the three of us left in the family are going through is the worst thing ever. Karsten was so empathetic. But he couldn’t be saved from his illness and addictions. ❤

Remember social media is an illusion. Everyone is not always great. You are human and with your cancer challenge it is normal to have full range of emotions. I’m 63 and just had a bilateral mastectomy with flat closure. Had a second opinion and an amazing surgical team. My husband reminded me I am not my body when I had a “moment” during post surgical recovery.
Please research diet and holistic healing regimes as part of your wellness plan. I hope you have a good support system. Stay in the moment. You got this my sister. ❤
