Your are such an inspiration Dee! I'm so happy Chemo is working for you! You are a Slayer!❤
Dee, you are a blessing to us that need or are doing Chemo. I can see and feel your pain. There is always hope! I start chemo soon, so I am so thankful for you explaining your situation with side effects, your feelings, fears and hopes. Thank you so very much!! God Bless you!!!!
I want to thank you so much for sharing your videos with everybody, they have really been helping me get prepared for when I start my chemo. I found out that I have invasive ductal carcinoma. Everybody tells me I am so lucky that I am young and that I was able to catch this cancer early.
I'm worried about starting chemo soon because everybody says everybody has different side effects. My fiance has also been worried and also not knowing what to expect. I've watched a few of your videos so far and it kind of gave me an idea of what to expect.
And I just want to let you know that you are beautiful no matter how you look, I don't look at you any different 💜 I will be getting aggressive chemo once every three weeks for 4-6 months. Then 4-6 months of not so aggressive cancer before my breast surgery.
But I wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience with everybody because they really helped me out.
And I hope that everything turns out great for you!!
I am starting AC-T chemo in 3 weeks....I can't tell you how much I appreciate your information, and I LOVE your videos! You make me laugh, feel happy, sad, nervous, prepared, for lack of a better word, and I feel like because of you I can face what's ahead of me! Thanks ever so much!
Sue
thank you so much for your videos, has been a life saver for me, same treatment same cancer....made me feel normal again. Keep up the good work xx
Dee, thank you for sharing. Holding you in my heart. I am hoping for a good outcome too.
You made so much sense. I have been a nurse for 35 years and you speak right from your heart and clearly you go through every action and side effects with precision and accuracy. This is so important for others choosing this route. Yes, you feel all the pain and endure it because it's saving your life. You said that so well by reminding so many woman who are going through cancer, that you have to focus on the end results. The cure and being alive for your family, especially your precious children. You have a lot of living to do. You are a warrior princess. You are going to win this fight. Make sure that they also help in keeping your immune system in check. Maybe some IV vitamine C if you notice any gum bleeding or like the bone pain you mentioned. Just added ammunition to building the other parts of your healthy tissue that chemo attacks. I would talk to patients families to ask for this because the Dr.'s wouldn't always give it if I asked them to. It's your body and I would see amazing results. You may already be getting this in your bag along with other vitamines and minerals, but please ask your Dr.'s about this. Many times just because you don't show outward physical symptoms, your body is still needing this to repair. Blessings on your journey.
Ilona Henderson thank you so much x ❤️ I will definitely look into this x
Im glad you are doing well Dee! My mom had two types also, ductal carc and lobullar... they found her ductal in the mammogram, but the lobullar she didnt know she had until she had her double mastectomy.... praying for you! youre going to be okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for these videos. I've had a lumpectomy, going to be having radiotherapy and hormone therapy. They now think I might have to have chemotherapy. Your videos are helping me with the prospect. Thank you. X
So happy for you that chemo is working. Your looking good 💕
I am sorry that you have suffered so. You look like you have some energy now. Hope and pray that you return to health 100% Much love to you❣
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I THINK I CAN DO IT BECAUSE OF YOU 🙏
May God-bless You
with a healthy long life🙏
Hank Picard thank you!! You can definitely do it!!
You are an inspiration to me. You speak from the heart. God bless you.
🗣A fighter for sure...I so admire you. 💪❤️🙌 Love and hugs 🤗
Dee, I hope you get completely cured soon. Thank you very much for sharing your experience with chemotherapy, and detailing the side effects. I have been showing your videos to my 65-year old mother who is also receiving taxol (and other drugs) for breast cancer. Whenever chemo hits her, she immediately says, "it is exactly like how Dee was describing it".
One more thing: she stopped wearing her head scarf after she watched your last video. So, thank you very much!!!
thebluishrosette WOW! I’m blown away by this comment x Thank you so much for letting me know about your mom. I am delighted she embraced the bald! I hope she’s feeling ok and that the side effects aren’t too bad for her xx biggest hugs to both of you ❤️❤️
May God bless your mom
Thanks dee. Im also going through this chemo thing. Really scary about that. Pray for me please. Love ..God bless you. Where was you treated. Im in Sydney
I enjoy listening to you talk, you speak clearly and your accent is cool
Love your sense of humor!!!
Thank you for your realistic, I appreciate it I am also going though cancer and I turned 53 years old, keep informing us, great information…
hello dee never say sorry for showing your emotions. big hugs x
Dee, thank you for your vids & your helpful info, cheers from Lisa, Melbourne Australia
Dee you are amazing, and so strong, I'm so glad you have had a good response to chemo😊, take care, and I will look out for your next vlog 😊💖
Sharron Harrison Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! Big hugs 🤗 ❤️
Oh wow.....I thought Taxol was going to be the "easy" chemo, but I guess they all suck. I'm on the same treatment as you. I get my 4th AC next week, then 4 Taxol. It's good to hear what could potentially happen and be somewhat ready. Thank you for your vids and continued health 💜
Your Awsome! God Bless! I have to start Tuesday and you give me a lot of Courage! Stay 💪 I’m having the Same type of Kemo! Tuesday!
You are so beautiful and positive. I wish you all the best. I will be starting chemo and radiation soon. Iam 2 weeks post neck dissection for malinant lymph nodes in my right neck. I chose surgery first because taking the chance for radiation and chemo taking too long to shrink the tumor, and possibly causing this cancer to spread in the meantime. I pray I can remain as strong as you are.
Hi Dee. You are so strong and uplifting I too have breast cancer diagnosed 12/4/17 idc it was stage 2 b with lymphnode involvement. I did ac and now taxol. I have 12 rounds of taxol, did my 5th one yesterday. I am 37. We are definitely too young to be dealing with this. But we will get through this and be cancer free soon. Thank you so much for telling your story!!!!! I am so glad I found your channel. Prayers and love from tampa, fl.
lindsey f agh so much chemo!! 😢 How are you coping with it? Hope you’re doing ok xx
Dee Doherty yes alot of chemo I almost feel like they are overtreating. Because me and my oncologist can't feel the lumps anymore! I am hanging in there have good days and bad days, chemo is no joke! Lol!
lindsey f oh everyone’s is different - I started same time as another lady who did once a week the whole time I was there and then another four after so 20 cycles!! It just depends on the individual x trust in it for sure 🙌🙌 ❤️
Thank You for this entire series, but for this episode particularly.
I am totally different circumstances, but yet very similar. I have lung Cancer and have had one lobe of my lung removed. My Oncologist feels my surgery went well and I'm in good shape with no spreading to the lymph nodes, but she was quite honest about the statistics for recurrence. Going ahead with Chemo has its downsides as you mentioned, and in my case only improves my odds very little. But you have convinced me that, like you and so many others, I can do this. And if it gives me any better odds against this disease it will be worth it. Thanks again. Be Well.
Wow! Thank you for this comment! You have been through hell already...lung cancer is no joke! You are SO STRONG to have said this... You can definitely do this.. try everything you can ❤️
This might sound strange but all the women that I have seen stripped down of their hair and makeup look so much more beautiful. Your eyes shine with love! Stay strong! I start chemo monday and if I look as beatiful as you I will be joyful.
Chris StJohn thank you, best of luck to you!!
@@DeeDoherty Chris is SO right.
Life and youth are even stronger and shine through you girl.
You're awesome.
God bless you !
Cheers from Paris, FR
I hope all goes well we’ll be praying 🙏 god is with you always. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
So true 100%
I'm so happy to hear that the chemo is working this way for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of the treatment and waiting for more great news ❤
Gosia Sikora Thank you Gosia xx hope you are well ❤️❤️
Some people are just born to look great bald and this lady is one!
Thank you for these videos! I was told I needed a mastectomy due to IDC so I was also like “well, why do I need to do chemo?”. I also have cancer in the ancillary lymph node.
Thank you for this I was wanting to quit . I have 2 more treatments to go and having huge doubts about continuing. God bless you for this video honesty . Love from California
Hi Becky! I just recently started watching Dee and noticed you're a regular commenter on her videos. I just wanted to send a shout out to you and let you know I've added you to my prayers! It's a bit*h of a fight, but YOU GOT THIS ❤❤❤❤
Lots of love from Canada
Crissy D aw thank you very much ! ❤️❤️
You are such a sweetie pie 😂 I love listening to you talk, your accent is soo beautiful ❤️ Stay strong girl! ❤️
Lady-N-Red 38 haha thank you!!! Nobody likes their own voice, so that’s nice to hear 😅

Rosemary Huegel thank you so much!
You're a fighter! The first part of your journey is almost over. Hang in there.
melroseblue77 yesss!!! It’s crazy how much it all changes again coming to the end of chemo isn’t it?? Everything is just up in the air again and have to wait for the craziness to settle! Hope you’re doing well Melinda xx
M recovering from breast cancer surgery stage 3c. Be going for chemo and radiation soon. Yr story mk me so inspired and brave to go tru. Thanks Dee
I'm 4 years bc survivor also stage 3 estrogen positive. Wish you the best❤
I am going through chemo (Taxol) for my breast cancer too. You are an inspiration! I only have three more treatments left to go, (I've been going through chemo since February 2020) then have to wait 4-8 weeks until surgery.
I have invasive ductal triple negative and it's stage 2.
I hope your doing well and your cancer is zapped and gone! Will pray for you. God bless you!
Elana Areostatico Crooker oh you star x you have probably completed chemo now .. but well done x
How is your health now?
@@uzmaali69 actually I am done with chemo infusions. I went through surgery the end July and radiation in September. Right now I am on chemo pills, (with awful side effects) which I have to take for 5 months. It's been a tough year, but overall I think I am doing okay, considering. It will be a year Jan 3 since I was diagnosed. Almost done ✅ there is hope.
Thanks for update, very encouraging. I too am on taxol
Beloved Decora I hope it’s going well for you! My treatment was AC-T, don’t know if that’s the same for you. I hope all is well and that the taxol is being kind to you ❤️
Dee Doherty actually Taxal/Carbo, I had breast cancer in 2013 a reoccurrence 2018 fallopian tube cancer or Ovarian cancer. I had successful hugh surgery. Chemo is doing it's job.
Beloved Decora Wow! You poor thing! But you seem to have a very accepting attitude towards it all x
Don't worry.... God bless you... 🙏🙏🙏
Dee I am awaiting the results of my oncotype dx test and have been so worried about maybe having chemo but having watched all your videos you have given me hope. You are such a bright and positive person it is hard to feel anything other than inspired by your approach , thank you for doing your videos at such a difficult time in your life, you truely are wonderful. God bless to you Noel and your beautiful family.
Anne Carrick oh Anne! My heart nearly bursts when I read comments like this! You’re so kind! I’m wishing you the very best of luck - no matter what you will be able for this!! ❤️
you seem so very resilient, not sure if you feel that way but you do seem that way - best wishes
Michelle Lyman thank you Michelle!
Thank you for this video. This video has helped me so much. I was having the same reactions; not a good feeling.
Dee how are you now this oct.2020. I just started.2morr will be the 3rd round.
Congratulations on your great response to the chemo! Remember, the chemo won't kill you. It is killing the cancer. Stay strong. You can do this.
Dear Dee. I love all your videos. I have finished 4 ac and 3 taxol. Have nine more taxol. I am so afraid of possible neuropathy which they say can be perminent. Do you have now any neuropathy? Also you taught me to exercise and watch for lymphedema. I massage myself and exercise everyday. But I think I got it a bit on my chest above the mastectomy scar ... Not sure. How is your lymphedema now ? I guess very small since you did not mention it in your late videos ... Also thank you very much for your videos. You are my inspiration and my teacher. Lol
Thank you for sharing -I start tomorrow
I hope they give you some medicine for your pain and neuropathy, not to mention stomach pains and burning 😥. I am SO happy your cancer is responding to chemo...you are so sweet ❤️
Vicky Rogers ❤️ Thank you Vicky xx
Vicky Rogers best ever xxxx
Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you
You are a strong amazing women!!!!

Marty Mleczko much love to you x I wish you all the best on your journey x
Hello Angel
You are so Inspiring and such a bright spirit.
My bff was just diagnosed with bone cancer. She begins chemo and radiation next week.
Have you and do you recommend any super foods for chemotherapy? To help her her strength back and feel better ?
That’s all. I know you are super busy getting well! God bless you and cover you with grace.

Hi. From most of her videos she mentioned anti nausier stuff she took prescribed by doctor and she had some ginger mints or sweet treats that worked for her to prob keep the nausier away. She had loads of headaches so she had all these frozen ice packs that she used directly on the head and face. Hope all goes well for your friend ❤
bless you hello from australia i watch all of your videos
I did a course of Taxol. Ended up with 13 doses after it was only supposed to be 12 weeks and 12 doses. Always had an "appetizer" IV of diphenhydramine, ondanzetron and a steroid which I assume stopped any possible reaction to the Taxol. I did well with it but it took away my appetite and I lost all my hair. The doc put me on cyproheptadine (Periactin) to stimulate appetite and it's working well. I can't stress enough to those going thru cancer: get plenty of rest and food. It's hard, I know, but we have to get on.
Thank you for sharing. God bless
For the bone pain, recommendation is to take Claritin, a day before Taxol and continue it for the next 5-6 days).
Bone pain so bad
@@syedapakeeza417 what are you on?

i am from morocco somewhere on this earth ... i was looking for vidéo about ombre haire and i foud yours ...and i saw your last vidéo and... i am a muslim mother of tree kids ... i am praying for you may Allah help you and give all strengh to face this difficult exprience and support the pain may Allah help you.
sawssan thank you very much 🙏❤️
Dee i have just found your videos and feel you have saved my life. I am just about to go through the third round of chemo. I have the exact same plan as you for chemo and less radiotherapy. My first chemo was horrific as i have addisons disease and had the skits so didn’t absorb my steroids yhat make me function as well as chemo side effects which are similar to my body crashing in addisons so chemo effects x 2. I honestly thought i was going to die. The only side effects i had been told about was hair loss and nauseau so all the other things you described i had and was terrified, you made me realise it was normal and i settled down.
You are lucky you have Noel, i live alone my boys are grown and when these things happen to you and you are home alone it is so scary.
Luckily my boys are a good help as are my friends but it was you that got me through this first part, i can’t thank you enough for making these videos. Please pray i make it through the rest of my treatment. I felt so empowered to fight it before starting chemo and now because it has been so bad mentally i’m not in such a good place now. I need to get my fight back and be a warrior like you were.💞
Linda Taylor thank you for your lovely message! You can do this! You will fight the good fight for your boys! Stay strong!
Dee Doherty thank you Dee, i am going to fight it with all i have! It is so much harder than i thought tho. X
Dee when you were bald did you use nioxin on your bald head or was it only once you had finished your chemo as your hair has come in beautifully thick?
Linda Taylor I always had very very thick hair. I used nioxin only after chemo ... quite possibly unnecessarily as my hair is the exact same as before!!!
Dee Doherty thank you💞
Thank u for sharing this
It is too late for you now but maybe helpful for others. I have found out from a chemo patient who was a Doctor, she recommends having probiotic yoghurts, prior to chemo. It protects the stomach. She also recommended beetroot juice to help the bowel while having radiation.
Lyn R thanks Lyn. I was told the opposite as the healthy bacteria can lead to infection in the gut during chemo! So it may need to be checked / but regular yogurt or yogurt drinks for sure! X
Beautiful you are god is with you beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pls explain AC and Toxol
Thank you
Just curious about you makeup. Are your brows penciled on in this video? Do you have any video of your makeup regimen and how to apply especially the brows? Are you wearing false lashes? Hope you are doing well!😘
Sherri Smith hi yes my brows are pencilled in and I have a brow tutorial in my videos if you look through “videos” on my channel. No I’m not wearing lashes here. But I do have a lick of eyeliner on! I was never without it during chemo to make it look like I had lashes!!
I just found the brow tutorial! Ty! Did you wear false lashes or did you not loose them? What did you do when you did loose the lashes?
Great vlog almost had me crying I’m praying you kick cancer in the nuts
Some people said keto diet and water fasting before comu big help. praise god
Dee it’s linda again to annoy you, sorry. I had my scan a couple of weeks ago and it showed my tumour was still growing on the red devil so they moved me on to taxol sooner but thought my body wouldn’t cope on the 3 weekly one so have been on weekly one and had my second today. What i wanted to ask was your 9cm tumour triple neg ductal ‘inside you’ which is what i have but mine is 4cm and had grown 2mm since chemo. They are trying to shrink it to do a lump removal rather than full breast as my boobs are huge and are not a good candidate for mastectomy. But what i did find out and i’m livid is that from first scan b4 treatment it grew 2cm whilst the surgeon, breast nurse and oncologist went on holiday for 3 wks at the same time when my treatment should have started and i wouldn’t be having to go through this now. Taxol with my addisons disease is where i have no adrenalin is causing me to now get a wheelchair as my leg muscles have just gone and last week collapsed at home and this week in hosp. I’ve been told to do nothing for the 12 weeks but rest, great fun!
How are you now?
I took taxol also i had a side my last treatment which was fluid retention my feet were sooo swollen i couldn’t were shoes
Bone pain so bad
You can put your feet in ice as well as hands to stop nueropathy.
I'm on taxo same feeling
You are beautiful.
My chemo is as a prevention
ur an inspiration gal, beautiful looking hair ::))) diagnosed during COVID19, I called mine C20 cos it happens in COVID20 but CANCER20 ::))) we strong people ::)))

I hope all is well with you and your family and may God bless you always and thank you for sharing your story.
Good morning, I'm just wondering if you or anyone else going thru chemo has had really bad headaches from treatment? Thanks Joshua!
