@@cmoore6895 congratulations on completing your Chemo! It’s definitely a tough decision. What’s your subtype? Have you had genetic testing? What stage was your initial diagnosis? All of that info should help you factor in your chance of a recurrence and help with deciding lumpectomy vs mastectomy. It’s great that you have options so take the time given to consider them all. Unfortunately, lumpectomy was not advised for me, but on the bright side I didn’t have to get radiation either…

@@MomsLikeZ thank you. I don’t know subtype. How do I find that? TNBC.I had genetic testing and not genetic. Stage IIB and according to ultrasound no lymph node involvement. I really wanted to avoid radiation. KI67 is high. I believe 80%.

⁠@@cmoore6895TNBC is the subtype. Sounds like your diagnosis is very similar to what mine was. Are they planning to do a sentinel node biopsy? Lumpectomy was an option for me because there was very small tumors found in other areas of the breast on the MRI. Have you had a MRI already? That may help with your decision also

@@MomsLikeZ yes I had MRI and other scan in the beginning. Yes they will do lymph node sentinel Response to chemo has been good . Had ultrasound 2 weeks ago and showed size larger in some measures but shaped changed to long like collapse. Did you say lumpectomy was NOT an option for you?

My pleasure 💕

I’m so sorry you are on the journey, but good for you for doing the research! I just recently came across Dr. William Li while listening to a “just ingredients” podcast. It’s so much to take in from him!

I hope it does also!! Blessings to you on your journey💕

You are very welcome! I’m so glad you found it helpful💕

@@chaycole congratulations!!!!🙌🏾❤️

@@ilianadiaz8039 praying that you tolerate it well with no major side effects🙏🏾

❤

Prayers to you!! I’m extremely grateful and thankful to still be here🙏🏾

@@lasurfette7830 it could be a coincidence, but it makes you wonder. Mine was in the same breast that I had terrible pain in for about a month initially after I had my baby. I believe that was an earlier sign

The struggle was real!

Praise God for mild side effects!!❤️

Thank you🩷

@@amysizemore4750 I’m so sorry you’re going through it! Praying for you!

@@amysizemore4750 yes! That’s exactly what it is. How are you handling the side effects?

@@tizzzbell praying for you and blessings your way

Hi! Sorry for the delay. No, it was not painful at all when I discovered it.

@@yvettemjones9214 I’m so sorry to hear that. Prayers and blessings your way! Stay strong🩷

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️Thank you!!!

That’s great! Good luck on your journey💕

Prayers for you on your journey! Part b was different, but not nearly as bad as it could have been and I know that was God!! Drink lots of water and try to rest when you can. I know being in a caretaker role is going to be a lot, but God will provide. Don’t turn down any help! Prayers for you! You got this!!

@@MomsLikeZ thank you for you love towards me. Your words helped me emotionally. God bless you .

Wow! I’m so sorry you experienced that. To already have a lot going and now you have to deal with something else had to be overwhelming. I’m sorry! So for xeloda be prepared for hand and foot syndrome. Moisturizer often!

@@MomsLikeZ yes, I’ve got my own all natural moisturizers I used during radiation and the doctors were very impressed with how my skin never got really bad and how fast I healed from the minimal burning and peeling I had. You mentioned castor oil, I have that and a few other oils and lotions.

@@ARefinedMeperfect!! Yes the natural oils are loaded with healing properties! You should be good! Oh, aloe helps also!

Thank you so much for sharing!! So I actually just had a consult with a center in San Antonio and another in New Orleans. I’m positive now that I want the deip flap! I’m just trying to make sure I find the right doctor. Where did you have yours done?

@momslikez I am a Kaiser patient. That’s my insurance. I’m in southern CA and had it done at Kaiser Permanente South Bay location. My plastic surgeon is great though and did a great job. I love my results because my breasts look real and feel real to the touch. The pain post surgery is real though. I thought I was gonna die. And it hurts for like two weeks like crazy. But once you make it past that, it gets better. My tummy is flat as before having kids. I love it. I encourage you to consider it as it is a much better option than implants given that there are more complications with implants especially if you’re gonna get radiation after and then you have to get the implants changed every ten years. No thank you

Ok! Thank you so much!! Yes, I definitely don’t want implants. I hear they are cold and I didn’t like the idea of replacing them!

Thank you so much. As a fellow mom of 4 and breast cancer survivor I am about to have diep reconstruction and while I am scared about the pain I am so ready to have this painful, troublesome tissue expander gone! Stay strong stay healthy fellow pink warriors❤

@@johannemccaughey4926praying for a safe surgery and speedy recovery for you. If you remember check back in once you’ve recovered, I’d love to hear more!

Glad to be able to help. Good luck with your decision!

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. Sending prayers your way that you can get through your treatments moving forward with mild to minimal side effects🙏🏾

Yes, I hear some women get it the same day…mine was originally scheduled the same day of, but they moved my surgery time up to first case so I got it the day before.

I just recently learned that a lot of cancers are treated with the same regimen. Congratulations to you for making it through that phase with mild side effects! Such a blessing! May God continue to carry you!❤️ I hear radiation isn’t too bad other than the potential for burns. Immunotherapy should be fairly smooth as well!

I have actually never had the signatera test. Are you currently using this testing?

Much of what they don’t tell us has a lot to do with the lack of participation from people of color in clinical trials. Therefore, they don’t know what they don’t know. People that look like us need to participate in more trials! I am very grateful to be on the other side of it now and I stand on the fact that I tolerated it well based off the fact that out of everything that could have went wrong while taking it, my side effects were tolerable. I pray that all is well with you and that you are overcoming your journey as well.

Praise God!! Wow!! I’m so happy to hear that you saw it through! Do something nice to celebrate!!!

God bless you my sister! So sorry you have to go through it. However, I know that you can do it!

❤️

❤️

It’s an amazing experience. You’re going to absolutely love it! My family and I will never forget what little pink houses of hope did for our family, how everyone made us feel and the relationships they were built. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram or Facebook!

Thank you!

So sorry you have to begin this journey. Prayers for you along the way sister💕

It took a few months. The nails basically had to grow all the way back out. The discoloration on the palms of my hand and soles of feet didn’t take as long as the nails did.

@@zacobiaritter I appreciate you reply to me and sharing, a big thank you ❣️ keep well ❤️

Yes!! They got very very dark! My hands were black basically. Once the treatment ended the normal color came back

Yes I’m also going through this as well

So glad this video was able to help ease some of your worries. I pray all is well on your journey!

Wow! Yes, PTSD is real! God bless you💕 We’ll get through this!

No problem!

Hey there! Hope all is well! Yes, I’m doing much better now on the other side. My hands abs feet are back to normal thank God! Just be patient with you body. It’s takes time to readjust.

I hope you’re doing well now. Keytruda left me with Adrenal Insufficiency, which can definitely effect potassium and other electrolytes.

Absolutely

Hey!! Hope all is well. I’m actually still undecided. I’m researching the place in San Antonio and New Orleans right now. Are things better for you now??
