I have not had chemo but I am diabetic and have neuropathy. I found Thc lotion really helps to almost eliminate my neuropathy but If I miss a few days it comes right back.

Hi Marina, so grateful I’ve found ur video in YT am just recently diagnosed wd BC S2 and I experienced almost everything u’v felt after chemo. My hair is starting to fall upon writing, I’m a bit scared of it, coz all this time I dnt want to think about it but when I see some hair falls, it slowly sinking in my mind that this is it, I have cancer. Watching ur video inspires me to live and calm myself knowing in the comment section that I’m not alone. Searching for some of your videos which I think might help me in my journey. God Bless Us all who are fighting wd this Big C. Sending hugs 🤗🥰
I have breast cancer I am so sick. Lost hair
Hi everyone had cancer 3 years ago. Now am free of cancer. God bless everybody here. Never stop fighting
Amen! Be well! 🙏🏼
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Please tell me chemo side efect 😢my daughter is on chemo
Mostly heart burning , burning eyes eat Light healthy food ,gavisgon help .. u have to care lot .. be strong
🙏❤️🙏
As a triple negative breast cancer 5 year surviver i have to say that chemo affects everyone different. My chemo was very aggressive regimen and definitely kicked my butt but i got through it and so can you. Chemotherapy is different for everyone and i was a very healthy fit 52 year old but i could not work and definitely couldn't work out. I slept pretty much through most of it , lost 30 pounds due to metal mouth , nausea and no appetite
. I dont want to sugar coat this. It can be difficult but you will come through it ok. Keep the faith.
Absolutely different for everyone. We all have to take it one day at a time through chemo. I’m glad you’re healed. 🙏🏼 My experience is my own. I believe taking my tips into consideration can help others out there that want to move or need to work. I had to be very intentional through chemo because I had to work the first time being my head of household. I had to have energy the second time to help my baby and 2 year old. I’m grateful I could do all of this.
I’m triple negative too. Did u get double mastectomy
@Jera Moore No , did not have a mastectomy. I was fortunate that the chemotherapy not only shrunk my tumors in my breast but also had a positive lymph node, I was able to have a lumpectomy. After my lumpectomy surgery I was put on a chemotherapy pill for 4 months called Xeloda ( piece of cake) then 33 radiation treatments. You can do this ,the chemo was the worst for me especially the chemo called the red devil after that it was much easier. If you have anymore questions please write back I will help you anyway I can.
What stage were you in ?
@@Just1Love Stage one Brocka gene positive
I had chemo 33 years ago. Things were different then. Cancer visited my life in the form of breast cancer. I had a cold cap; saved half my hair. I got some mouth sores.. Nothing tasted right but I found I loved pumpkin yogurt! I slept, and slept, and slept. I had itchy skin. I drank gallons of water. I had chemo brain. I drank No alcohol.it was very hard on me but my kids were 9 and 10 and I am a single mother. All I wanted was to live! God has been very good to me!
Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear you’re still cancer free. And 33 years later! That gives so many of us hope! ❤️
@@MarinaBlackford ❤️
My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014,she is still going to chemo,I make sure I go with her for support,my continued prayers of healing for everyone going through this.❤️🙏
I pray she heals!

@@MarinaBlackford I am a cancer suffer
Hang on there sufferers one day at a time it is doable 😊
I wish healing, love and peace to all those who has cancer or looking after someone with cancer. The human body is prone to all sorts of illness, but now a days there's advancement in medical treatments so keep your chin up and keep going. YOU WILL BEAT IT ❤️ YOU ARE STRONG AND YOU ARE LOVED ❤️

Thanks ♥️
Very nice comment
Amen
Thank you for writing this. We just found out my mother has pancreatic cancer. Praying for the best outcome for her 🤲❤️
I have just completed round 4 of 6 with chemo (throat cancer)and have to say it has thus far been nowhere near as bad as I imagined.Fatigue is definitely present,stay positive fellow sufferers 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing! Get rest and heal! ❤️

I received 35 doses of radiation along with carboplatin once a week for 7 weeks for stage 4 throat cancer in 2020. I had my 2 year PET/CT scan in December 2022 with no existing disease noted. Is chemotherapy the only treatment you will have?
Thanks so much for this. I am also preparing for 3rd round of chemo it has not been easy. My taste bud is so bad .... With God we will win this
Is it possible to conceive and give birth after Chemo?
Amen. Try sucking on ice during chemo if possible to help your taste buds. Use an alcohol free mouth rinse and a gently toothpaste like sensodyne or Tom’s natural.
Yes, it’s possible to conceive after chemo.
I have metastatic breast cancer and went thru 12 rounds of IV Taxol. I'm now on oral chemo/hormone treatment and doing well. Agree with everything you said, Marina. I used nail strengthener polish on all my newly brittle nails during chemo. I have permanent neuropathy in both feet--just numb and tingling but no pain so it's tolerable. I took Gabapentin for a few months which didn't help and caused me to be so sleepy I could barely function. It's a great drug for some but not for me and it didn't touch my neuropathy. Neither did Alpha Lipoic Acid but I am still taking it till I finish the bottle.
When you switch to oral chemo/hormone or targeted therapy, please keep a strict schedule for your meds. I take mine every 12 hours (8 am and 8 pm) and they seem to work better this way. I take Verzenio and Letrizole and have absolutely no problems with either med at this time. I got thru the worst of it (severe diarrhea in the beginning) and did fine.
I found the biggest help for me was to eat small snacks every few hours rather than full meals. Everything with high protein was good for me as I lost so much weight during my chemo. I love hot soup, yogurt, and kind of fell in love with Ensure drinks. They make an apple drink which is delish and great for protein intake. I ate more eggs, cottage cheese and applesauce. Even peanut butter on crackers was easy to eat when I literally had no appetite at all.
I had very little nausea but my main symptom was extreme fatigue. I think I slept more during that year (IV chemo plus starting the oral chemo) and it was rough. My advice to all starting chemo: STAY POSITIVE. You will get thru it. It's challenging but do-able. Get plenty of sleep, gentle easy exercise or more if you can stand it. Eat well, eat high protein and low or no sugar. Hydrate. Take a daily multivitamin which will help. Best of luck to everyone fighting cancer. It's not the end of the world for most. It's just a bump in the road but can be overcome by the majority who are diagnosed. Praying for all of you.
Thank you for sharing! Great advice here! Someone needed to hear that! ❤️
Thanks l needed to hear this, starting chemo very soon, aggressive grade 3 cancer so they are going to hit it with everything, not looking forward to losing my waist length hair, will try the ice cap if it's available, breast cancer was not in my plans for this year but staying positive and I am going to kick it's butt!! Good luck to all the Australian ladies going through this, we have amazing support from the pink angels here so look them up and have a chat 💓💗💖
@@jeannettehobourn4793 I forgot to mention: before they start the IV chemo on you, please ask for pre-medication if they don't offer it already. When I had my IV chemo, I got an antihistamine, an anti-emetic and a steroid all IV just prior to getting the chemo each week. The pre-meds made me sleepy which was fine but also they helped cut back on nausea. Best of luck to you, Jeanette. I'll be praying for you to recover completely and kick cancer's butt.
Yes dear, thanks for sharing this information, I would add one important point on that, please try to revise some of the food s you eat, they contain lots sugar, try vegetables, look for soursop, tumeric and other cancer fighting ingredients for better results.
Please research high dose intravenous vitamin C, turkey tail mushroom, soursop tea. Well wishes.
I’m 24 years old and have been diagnosed with bc . I start chemo tomorrow , i’ve been worried and sad about how i’m going to feel and the physical changes that are coming after chemo and seeing you makes me hopeful thank you for the tips ; im also getting the injection every 14 days to preserve my ovaries which makes me happy throughout all of this because all i’ve ever wanted to be is a mother ! Thank you for your video prayers to you 🙏🏽
There is absolutely hope for you! You will heal and can have children someday. Just get through this time one day at a time. Take care of yourself and you will heal. Much love to you! ❤️
Family has bc. Just surgery no chemo. Been 3 full yrs. well and healthy.
You will be fine
God Jesus christ always with u dear sister
You got this!
I’m also having my chemotherapy right now and my 4th round on Monday. Everything you said marina is true and I’m going thru it . Just be positive and have faith in God and believe in his love. But my oncologist said that I will not lose my hair with colon cancer treatment. Whenever I had my chemo day I feel all of you mentioned specially nausea and no appetite, tired and sore body . But I drink plenty of water to flash out the medicine and take plenty of sleep rest . The best medicine is prayer. Thank you for all the sharings.Praying for all cancer patients. We are strong enough to fight.God is Good.
Amen. Blessings to you!
Hey how are you now? Are you feeling better and cured now? My father has the same...going to start chemo so need some insights😢
Thank you for your honesty - much appreciated
Thank you so much, these are some helpful things to know.
I have just had my 4th chemotherapy treatment, my hair has started to thin so made the decision to have it all cut off. I am a bit nervous about it, but it will happen tomorrow. This morning my husband went out and came back with his head shaved😢 and said it's the woman you are inside that I love🙂
I have been watching your videos and you have helped me a lot so thank you, and with Joe by my side I will get through this. Sending love and hugs to all of you going through this, especially to the people who love us.💕
That is so sweet to hear Ian! I’m happy you have such a supportive husband! Mine was the same. It makes such a difference. Remember when you lose your hair that it’s the chemo working. You are healing. ❤️
@@MarinaBlackford Yes! I had my head shaved about two weeks after my chemo started. I was already losing tons of hair so just went with it and did fine. I wore a knit cap on my head for a year and now the hair has grown back in a lot. Mine never changed but some get "chemo curls"--- a different type of hair that shows up.
Thank you for your positive presentation of very useful tips. It makes it all a little less scary. It's really appreciated.
Hi Marina
Nice to see you back
Thanks for the tips
Stay well
Very nice of you to share, thanks Marina.
Just found out today that I will start chemo in two wks. This video and your shopping list is soooooo helpful. Tgabk you!
Kudos to you for putting it out so positively and I hope you are doing well now.
Thank you so much Marina, and best of luck!
Thank you so much for this! God bless you :)
Thank you so much!! I’ll be having my first chemo session in April 6. This helps
Thank you! I start tomorrow and this was the first real advice I listened to.
Thank you and wishing you all the best.
This is such a helpful video, thank you!
Why does it seem like all the good people go through the worst in life? It's just not fare. You and the women like you here on youtube seem like genuinely beautiful souls. I hope everything works out. You're incredible. I'm sure you'll get through anything life throws at you. You're a true inspiration.
Good question, but that's life I guess! I heard this recently, "life is not a problem to be solved, it's a mystery to be lived". So here's to living it one day at a time! Thank you!
That's a bit mean. It's like saying some people (not deemed bad) deserve it? It's an awful thing all round and the most democratic illness.
@@Eereenah I took the good part of the statement but you’re right! No one deserves something over another. I honestly would never wish anyone to go through this. If you are, I hope you’re healing! ❤️
@@Eereenah Some People , bad people, go through life without suffering any consequences. Some people "not deamed bad" deserve it? That makes no sense. If anything, I was saying the good die young. The evil live a long time. You think I care if a pedophile gets beat up or killed in prison? Nope. If that's mean then I guess I'm a mean person.
I understood you.
Your were comming from a good place....thankyou for supporting cancer survivors. Big hugs.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey. I just retired from 39 years as a hygienist and diagnosed with had and neck cancer. I’m making a list of things I’ll need and your list is so helpful. Wishing you health and happiness. 💪🏽💕
Thank you! My journey is just beginning but this has definitely given me some hope. Bless you!!
Thank you! So helpful❤
To all of you in chemo treatment & remission cancer 🙏 💝🌷
I had Hodgkin’s twice over 40 years ago; things were so different back then. Hoping and praying for all of you going through any type of cancer. Try to believe you will beat this; it truly helps. Love to all of you.
Thank you! You’re positivity and prayers are welcome!
Praying for your strength and healing
Recently dx w lymphoma
I had the same Hodgkin's lymphoma stage 2 😮 hope iy will neva come back
@@pretoriusmariaan4650i just got diagnosed with the same today, can you please give me some info? Treatment lenght, pain, hair loss? Thank you!!
Wow thank you so much for this video!! I’m going to write all 12 things before I start chemo in June/2022.
You're amazing! Thank you! 😇
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have endometrial cancer and just had a total hysterectomy. Im most likely will need to do chemo. Now i know what to look for.prayers for all those affected by the insidious disease 🙏🙏🙏. .
I hope you are doing well! As a side note, liquid fasting (no sugar) 2-3 days before, the day of and the day after chemo treatments is extremely helpful. It dramatically reduces the side effects of chemo and accelerates tumor shrinkage. New research is showing that fasting can be a very effective cancer treatment, in addition to chemo, and even on its own.
Hi! but would you suggest any supplements during fasting? Thanks
@@edio.8431 Absolutely! There are many anti-cancer nutrients that can help kill cancer, and can be taken during a fast... turmeric, garlic, ginger, macha green tea, vitamin D3, omega 3 fatty acids, organic moringa leaf powder, etc. Many of these can be taken on empty stomach in supplement form and found in (or added to) different foods.
A close friend of mine is in total remission from stage 3 lung cancer, after only just 3 chemo treatments, several months of intermittent prolonged liquid fasting, NO sugar/carbs (cancer thrives on sugar), and using these nutrients. I believe this is the best overall treatment for cancer, and the earlier you start these protocols the better. I take many of these regularly as cancer prevention because it runs in my family.
Minerals elmnt packages will help you have a good fast
Can you be more specific, like what liquids? If no sugar I’m assuming not even juicing fruits or even some veggies? Maybe a bone broth diet? My brother has chemo scheduled soon. My concern with fasting is he’s on pain meds..not sure he could go without food on pain meds.
Please do not hand out potentially dangerous information to those who are desperate. The attitude towards the role of fasting in cancer patients should be very cautious, as the risk of malnutrition/sarcopenia may be associated with this approach. The effects so far have been tested thoroughly only in animals and only on certain cancers.
Such a beautiful person you are, well done for doing this as will help others and you look fine, good luck
Thanks you so much for this helpful info!
I have breast cancer , first chemo done, and I love your videos, I can’t thank you enough you’re an inspiration

Omg. You have been fighting cancer over and over. Thank you for this information. God speed
Thank you. I wish you the best. I hope in the future we can come up with more targeted approaches that do not affect the whole body.
I had surgery, chemo then radiation. I'm on chemical treatment now. I'm a male so was totally blown away when I found out I had bc. It had spread to my lymph noids. I experienced almost everything you mentioned but had a hard time eating and even drinking water. I wish I'd come across this before I started going thru it all. Hopefully a lot of people will read this before they start the journey. Thank you for sharing!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Dan, thank you for sharing! Yes, males can get bc so I try to consider that when I talk about my journey. I can’t imagine how it was for you. I hope you’re doing well now! Be well!
🙏✌️❤️
Just Had surgery to remove male breast cancer two weeks ago meeting the chemo team tomorrow to discuss the way forward stay strong all those fighting cancer
How are you doing now? My aunt has stage 2 bc & has had 2 lumpectomies & his having her mastectomy & reconstruction on 1 breast this Tuesday, then chemo & radiation. I lost my dad to cancer. Sending love to all of you. ❤

Pray for you moon Gypsy. Mine spread to node and both lung lobes. On taxol and carbo chemo. Praying for healing. 🙏🏻❤️
CT came back it spread in four nodes and two spots in my liver. Doc feels confident we are going to kill it. My port next week and Chemo in January. Prayers for you 🙏. Is yours cervical?
@@moongypsysc I have a port. Love it. No more digging for veins for the chemo and blood tests. I believe in God and I put him first! Have faith. I’m happy your doctors are optimistic. I pray and I think as if I’m already healed. I don’t utter the C word anymore. You will beat this🙏🏻💜✝️
@@debc7341I think it will be ok. I have very good veins but towards the end of cisplatin they offered one but I figured I wouldn't need i This time I am glad it's one of the first steps cause all that at once seems a lot. I try not to say it. I also envisioning healing and believing.
Thank you!!! I go for my biopsy tomorrow. ❤
Take care and get well soon ❤

Appreciate you sharing your experience. Just had round one Thursday before last and feeling better. Lots of GI issues and neuropathy issues now. Keeping head held high because of people like you God bless. Thanks Jo
Thank you! You can do this. Report all your symptoms so your medical team knows and can help you.
Thank you for letting us know 🙏
Thank you again for creating your channel. I just ordered my ice booties and mittens for my 5th of 6 chemo treatments next week.
You’re welcome! ❤️
I had a double mastectomy in November. I definitely agree with all your tips. Spicy food was something I craved. I ate whatever I could tolerate even though it may have not been the healthiest but it was calories. The neuropathy is what I found horrible mine is permanent 😢 the main thing is keeping a positive attitude attitude. I pray for all of us cancer warriors ❤
My neuropathy is permanent too
@@patriciamays8244 do u take anything to ease the pain?
@@mitch5222 I only had pain meds a few days post-op.
However I have noticed that as people age, over 65 yrs. they're ability to produce their bodies own endorphins to kill pain seems to decrease. If over 65 you may suffer chronic pain which does require monitored pain medication long term unfortunately.
Thank you, Marina. Just got diagnosed last week with Breast Cancer. Praying for you. I am so grateful for these tips! in general so grateful for the many youtube vlogs of people sharing their journey. I feel less alone.
You’re not alone! You will heal. Keep going and you will be a survivor too. ❤️🙏🏼
How did you know about it what were your symptoms thanks
@@amandabass04 found a small lump on my right breast in November. I had no other symptoms aside from just finding that lump. Got an ultrasound then a biopsy on it. January of this year they confirmed it was cancer

I just finished my 4 chemo ( ovarian cancer |||C 🥴)
I’m tolerating it well, next is a Debulking op, with hipec and 2 more chemos to follow.
I will be on PARP maintance for 2 years, which is standard protocol in UAE.
I have excellent prognosis 😊

Thank you, Marina. I was just diagnosed with CHL and will likely soon start chemo. Your tips are gold.
I went through chemo and was hit hard with two drugs and I did pretty well except one gave me crippling migraines. Accupuncture did the trick and was a life saver. Never underestimate the power of alternative therapies. I never would have sailed through it without it.

Thank you...... Your explanation is very simple and friendly.... My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. The whole family and especially my father is very much worried about . You have explained as it's not that much horrible as it is actually. . . . Love you n stay healthy sweetheart.
Breast cancer and sinus cancer is curable! Just trust in the lord and have a will power! Your mom should be taking chemo or radiation,but don't get shock and worry about while her health becomes weak! Just get the ideas what to eat and what not to! Will easily cure soon❤️

Having my 2nd treatment of AC for breast cancer tomorrow. My oncologist and team didn't mention anything about getting the gloves and socks to avoid neuropathy however I have read about it on blogs. I don't know why this isn't something that is just recommended as a standard if there is a potential it helps. Just ordered on Amazon. Hopefully it gets here in time and thanks for the tips. Sorry we're both going through this, but hoping to be able to tell my survivor story for many years to come.
I agree. I wish there was more universal/standard advice, especially if it’s not another medication! Good luck to you! I pray you heal well!
Thank you Love ❤️ the last part somehow made me cry. I hope you bit this and are doing well.
I had a good survivor cry last night! I’m doing great though! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I just hit your subscribe button! I was diagnosed the first of march with lung cancer. They (docs) say stage 3 or 4. I’ve been though it already in such a short time. Having no insurance, I was turned away from a few doctors. I was given financial aid through the hospital I’m going to. I was scheduled then denied for an EBUS procedure by one doctor. I’m 61, divorced, single and have worked since I was 15 and receive very little ss money. I received state Medicaid towards the end of march. I have not missed a phone call or appointment and have been diligent on my part. Thank God I have a wonderful stepfather who helps and guides me a long. I received my first intravenous chemotherapy on may 19. My doctor originally wanted to put me on oral chemo known as targrisso however, there was a problem with that, blah, blah, blah. Good news though finally tagrisso approved, I have another appt with my oncologist on Thursday and he will tell me when to start the new original pills to be taken daily.
My prognosis is not good. This medication may give me two more years of life. I cried for the whole first month of finding out about this and now I have just accepted what is going on because…it is what it is. I pray to my Heavenly Father that He will wrap His arms around me and take me to His Kingdom when he calls.
Thank you sweethearted lady again, for sharing your knowledge and posting on Amazon which I will be purchasing tomorrow 😊.
Hi, thank you for watching. That sounds like a hard diagnosis. Having faith and good doctors is key. Each day is a gift. Blessings to you.
@@MarinaBlackford Thank you, Marina for your kind words. Many blessings to you!
What a wonderful video! Thank you for all of that information. My Aunt has breast cancer and has started chemo. Now I have a little better understanding of what she will likely be facing. Although I'm sure there is much more I'll need to become educated about. You are very inspirational and I hope you know that 😊
Thank you so much! It helps to hear that! I pray your Aunt does well!
@@MarinaBlackford oh bless you! I'm sending you positive energy and healing vibes too 😁

Thank you for this important video.
I'm a breast cancer survivor of 13 years now. Something else to know: ulcers in the mouth. I had to rinse my mouth with a med three times a day. Your first stool after chemo will be dark green. I was told that its the liver being on overdrive. No worries there.
I'm lucky, i never had nausea. I enjoyed the no-hair part so much. It was summer and feeling the breeze on my head was a bliss. No eyelashes was more difficult. We dont realize how protective they are! I had chemo for 6 months, then a mastectomy and then 25 rounds of radiation. Keep going, one day at a time, listen to your body and mind, take care of yourselves. You are loved ❤
Thank you for sharing! Yes, all good points! ❤️
