Living with an incurable disease is so hard, but you just have to live life day by day as it goes by (Cancer sucks)...

My oncologist just told me May 5th I’m cured from triple negative breast cancer! Finally! I pray it stays away forever this time. That was my 2nd time having it. Strong chemotherapy and bilateral mastectomy was my treatment plan. Taxotere and cytoxan! It was rough but worth it to hear cured! Thank you for these helpful videos through this journey! 💕🌷

Up to now breast cancer IS NOT CURABLE! It might be treatable but it seems to come back, sooner or later. It’s very disconcerting considering the fact that so much money is being spent on BC, and yet. I’m still waiting. And the treatments” could “ be brutal to many women. I pray and hope for new solutions .

Thank you for your video. Most people don’t understand how cancer cells really work and so they have unrealistic expectations of cure. But we are so glad of good treatments (yep, brutal but nevertheless good) that give us years that we wouldn’t otherwise have had.

We are doing better in the area of mammograms. This technology has come a far way. Now we can get 2D and 3D mammograms making it even more likely to find cancer early. This was the case in my cancer. The 3D mammogram was able to see the small mass that may of not have been seen in the technology we used many years ago. I am grateful for this because it caught my cancer at a very early stage.

Good day, Doctor. I'm in Nigeria and I just completed my 5weeks radiotheraphy treatment last week after 10 rounds of chemotherapy and surgery. I sustained some wound under my armpit and on the surgery stitches on my left chest. I have been given a cream for that.
My question is how and when do I start trying for conception because I don't have any children yet and I'm over forty years? Also, I have been placed on Tamoxifen before surgery.

Dear dr, stage 4 breast cancer can go to sleep? And what is that mean for the patients? And early diagnosis is good but er positive 30% comes back metastatic and 6 or 10% diagnose de novo, that's huge number of patients humans life, why all the money efforts goes to early detection but why they dont try to found a cure or at list make it chronic like diabetes metastatic breast cancer? Because not everyone detecting early😔, ❤ thank you

Why haven't they found a medication that is easier on the female body. The damage Anastrozole and Tamoxifen have done to my body is just not worth it for me

Oncology Medicine routinely overstates the benefits of; Radiation, Chemo, et al. While grossly marginalizing the risks. #sad.
