Oh Gina, listening to your story was giving me flashbacks. It's been June 27th. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I found a lump went and had a diagnostic mammogram. They did a biopsy of the lump and it came back as triple negative breast cancer. I was told it was the most aggressive cancer that you can have and I have to have a very aggressive chemo treatment as well. On September 7th I am going for a lymphocy centigram. I think it's called. Not happy about it because I have a fear of needles and it's four injections around my nipple with radioactive blue dog and then September 8th. I'm having surgery tomorrow. Two lymph nodes removed and have a port put in from September 14th. I start chemo once a week for 3 months and then once every 3 weeks for 3 months
I am right there with you. I am heartbroken about losing my hair as well. It's not so much as a vanity thing though, I don't think it's like you said it's. It's an identity. I tried on a wig for the first time the other day and I just cried and lost it because I said it doesn't look like me. I'm scared about the chemo and the side effects but what really scares me the most is having those injections
I was diagnosed 2years ago with breast cancer, long story short had left breast completely removed recently and recovery has been great. So you got this, stay strong and mentally positive❤ peace and blessing
Gina you are strong and can do this! I have been through this and just 6 months ago my mammogram showed me to be cancer free. The worse part of this was the not knowing and waiting. If possible you should continue to share this journey with us. Many women need this information! My advice is to keep a written medical journal and a pocket calendar. Both helped with stress for me. You will also meet some wonderful professionals in this journey. I will be forever indebted to three women who went above and beyond for me, my surgeon, my radiologist and a nurse who supported me during and after the doctor gave me the results of my biopsy. I am praying for you! Your hair will grow back! You will still be beautiful! You will help so many people as God has a plan for you!
My suster-in-law was also diagnosed with breast cancer at 36 and has a family history of breast cancer on her mom's side. She is now 44 and doing great.
@@ginaschweppe5559 Absolutely! Sounds like you caught it early and have a good plan. I will be praying for you and your family as you go through the process.
You are SO STRONG and having 4 children alone has prepared you for what’s ahead! You got this and I am positive you caught it in time and will live a long healthy life and will get to see grandchildren and great grands in the future ! I just became a grandmother for the first time. My oldest daughter had her first baby and it puts things in perspective ❤All my prayers and hope for your future to you Gina ❤
I also have breast cancer in my family. Not as many family members as you, but it's still in there with a whole bunch of other cancers. My heart goes out to you in this time of trial. I wish you a speedy recovery and I am sending huge hugs to you and your family.
Gina , you are a beautiful, amazing woman. Praying for you as you start this difficult journey. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure it will help many women.❤
God Bless you Gina for being brave enough to share your journey, It is not an easy ride. I have watched your videos for years. Happy Anniversary! When you post your wish list please put items your children need as well. Cancer effects the whole family.
I’m so sorry to hear about this but you seem to be a strong women especially to come on this platform and share your story and experience to help inform and guide others through your journey. I prey for you and your gonna beat this but know you have a community of people supporting you.
Thank you for sharing! My best friend is Braca positive and has a family history of breast cancer. I will add you and your family to my prayers at night. Hugs from Alabama!
You are saving lives by sharing your journey. Barca gene is not just a female issue. Braca positive is important info for your father , brother, and sons. 🙏 are with you.
I have been a mammo technologist for 12 years. Have you checked into the cold cap to help keep your hair? I have had patients have good results with it. You got this! Praying for you as you go through this journey!
Praying for you and your family! I’ve watched you for a long time and my heart aches for you, but I know you seem like a strong woman and we all are fighting for you to get through this journey successfully!! 🙏🏻
Hello Gina, I'm sorry to hear that you have cancer. As long as you keep a positive thought it will help. And you that we are sending healing prayers your way. Have a Safe and Blessed week.
I am so so sorry. Sending you many prayers and good wishes. We will be here and supporting you all along the way. Even if you don't feel well don't feel pressured to post all of the time.
I cannot stop thinking about you. Made me cry just remembering the feeling i had which are the same as yours when i was 40. You are much more put together than i was. You seem to understand all the realities you will be facing. One last piece of advice. Dont read anything on the internet. Either trust your doctor or get a new one. Everyone is an individual when it comes to treatment or prognosis. Some people will run from you and others will support. Take it easy on yourself. Support groups dramatically helped me.
I’ve followed you since you lived in Ashburn,VA cause I lived in the same town but I never got to meet you in person. I am so sorry that you got the breast cancer news. I will be praying for you and know that God will give you the strength to fight as you embrace this cancer journey. Praying for you and your family.
Oh my goodness Gina I am so sorry there is not anything I can say but stay strong and I will be praying for you and your family you are such a beautiful person inside and out💕🙏
Stay positive. You are strong. We are here for you. I am a 10 year survivor of stage 0 breast cancer (mine was caught very early). I did have a mastectomy with reconstruction. I had some great doctors and it sounds like you do as well. I am sending prayers to you and your family.
Gina. Thank you for making all of us aware during this difficult time of your life. As always, you’re thinking of others, but please remember we are here for YOU which you will need and we would want. Your attitude is remarkable, and hope this will help strengthen you throughout your journey. One day at a time ❤
Gina, I will be praying for a healthy, healing recovery. Praying that the surgery is a success and it will not spread. My cousin is going through the same thing. Lean on your family and friends to help you through this. It’s great your looking into your family history because families hide these things and no one knows what to expect. You’re a strong woman and that’s for sharing this journey because you are helping so many others that are going through this.
Oh Gina, I promise to pray. I’m sorry you are having to walk through this trial, and I think that a lot of words would seem clumsy right now. Im sending you love from Ashburn, Va. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5,6
My mother had breast cancer. I’m rooting for you to beat breast cancer! Sending healing thoughts and prayers…Sent you some surprises arriving around November 25. 🤗❤
I think fearing losing your hair is a natural reaction for many women and it’s okay that you feel that way. A friend of mine battled breast cancer (and won) several years ago. Her husband made the suggestion that they get a wig before she lost her hair. It was hard in the moment, however, she later said she was so glad they did it. It helped her to match her hair more easily. I literally thought she just got a hair cut. You have to do what feels right for you of course. You’ve got this!
I watch to cute for cancer now called Jody Wright. She had triple negative cancer and has had it for quite a long time 22yrs I think. It's amazing because you did not hear of people having triple negative cancer and doing well. The life expectancy was not good then. Wishing you health and healing.
Well it's warm all this week in the 90s next week will be the High 80s..I'm located if you have ever heard of Gallo Wine.. or Foster Farms Chicken Right now farmers in my area are Harvesting Sweet Potatoes, shaking the Almond trees in the orchards around my area Honestly I came from Marina's Channel Confessions of Dollar Tree Addict.. Enjoy the Rest of your Fabulous Wednesday. Hugs 🤗 from California 🌞
Hi Gina! It's going to be a tough road, but you've got this! Key to this is to stay positive. You're going to get through this. Hair will grow back after treatment (sometimes it grows back before treatment ends). Some of my patients have used those ice packs during the treatment which they say helps preserve their hair (not sure if it works for everyone) I won't lie, the chemo they give is very harsh for breast ca (especially if you have to take doxorubicin), but you're a strong young woman. Make sure you take your antiemetics because nausea is the worst. We support and love you!!!
God Bless u I went through it u hear the word CANCER u think u r going to die but ur not its means ur in the fight for ur Life just trust and Believe and keep ur FAITH GOD is Good and FAITHFUL its been six years cancer free God never gives u a load u can't carry
Hi Gina. I'm here from Marina's channel to wish you (and your family) all the best and let you know that you are in my thoughts and I'll be checking in on you. We survivors have to stick together. ❤
@ginaschweppe5559 you can do this. And u will for your little kids. I am 40 and I cant even imagine w you are going thru. I have 3 boys .. 19...16...11... your video at the end brought me to tears!
Thank you for sharing your story. It might others remember that they aren't alone. When your hair starts growing back, you might have to cut it to have it grow back thicker. Huge hugs to you.
I’m back, was here for the Christmas colab…Marina from Confessions of a dollar tree addict is having a breast cancer awareness giveaway in your honor!🌸 My sister was diagnosed with triple negative ductal carcinoma as well on her 65th birthday. She turns 68 in November! It’s a long journey and I’m so proud of her! You can do this too! She got a wig from American cancer society, but she didn’t wear it. She also chose a baseball type cap that had hair around the bottom of it. It looked super cute! I hope you find something that works for you! Hugs and prayers for you and your family🤗🙏🏼🤗🙏🏼
Gina, I will be praying for you on this journey. As a fellow pink sister who was diagnosed just a few months ago, your attitude is so important, and yours is great. The beginning stages are the hardest while you wait for all the answers. One thing I would suggest is for you to read through your insurance booklet. I found a two sentence clause in mine that states any outpatient treatment for cancer (mri, ct scans, pet scans, radiation, chemo, & labs etc...) is covered at 100% after reaching my deductible. However, it is not automatically applied like you might think. In fact I check my insurance a few times a week online and have to send a message for every claim to be manually reviewed under cancer diagnosis. Otherwise, I would be paying 20% of everything until I reached max out of pocket. Also I just had a bilateral mastectomy on July 20th with expanders placed that will stay during radiation and a few months past before I get my final implants. Give yourself grace, let others do for you and make meals and such. People will always ask if there is anything they can do for you but few actually just do for you sometimes. Also it can be surprising how much our kids and spouses are truly capable of when we are down and can't do everything. Lifting you up in prayers. Kristina in Florida
Prayers to you, also. My niece washed my hair for me after my mastectomy and that was just so wonderful. I agree, let people take care of you. The ones that do really want to.
@@ginaschweppe5559 My mom and grandmother did !!! You got this honey !!! My oldest daughter is just 4 years younger than ! So my momma heart kicked in for you !!! I know you have the strength for this fight !!! God bless !!!
Gina, my mom had breast cancer and told me a great aunt of hers had it a long time ago. I reaearched snd found there is a link between breast cancer snd prostate cancer. My mom's dad and his brother both had prostate cancer. That was my grandfather and great uncle. My great uncle died from it and hung on until I told him I would take care of his brother. See, their dad died while they were young and my great uncle was more of a father to his brother than a brother. Both men lived into their 90s. It was a slow growing type. My dad's sister and my mom's sister both had breast cancer at the same time. They both beat it. So, I feel like I am waiting for my turn as I am close to the age my aunts were when they were diagnosed. You are one of the people that taught me how to coupon a long time ago when my family desperately needed me to do that. I am old enough to be your mother but honestly feel like a friend of mine is telling me she has cancer. First, I am so sorry you have it. I will be praying for you throughout your journey. There are some things I have learned theough my mom"s journey that I hope I will be able to share with you to make your journey a little easier. I do beg you to consider a mastectomy. Don't give cancer the chance to spread further or to get into your lymph system if possible. I suggest a book called "Eating Well Through Cancer" by Holly Cleg & Gerald Miletelli, MD. It is worth it's weight in gold. It has sections with knowledge, tips, and recipes for different conditions you find yourself experiencing during this battle. It has helped eveyone I have told about it that has gone through Cancer. That is way enough for now. I do encourage you to see if Amazon has the book so you can peak inside the book. It is at the top of my list as I have seen the difference it can make. Much love to you, my friend.
First off! We are absolutely friends!! How interesting, actually my dad has prostate cancer and he had it removed! You’re right it’s slow growing! He was diagnosed was in middle school and didn’t get it removed until I was in college! Yes so I am getting a double mastectomy! I will check this book out, thanks!!
Mrs. Gina my prayers are for you and your family. God has a proyect for each of us and I Know that you will go through this sucessfully. Dios está contigo y tu familia en esta etapa. Saldrás victoriosa
I was diagnosed with the exact same also triple negitive at 36. I went through surgery chemo and radiation. This was in 2014 9 years ago!!! 😊 I was stage 2. Reach out if you have any questions!
Hi I found you through the news week article you were featured in about Ozempic. Funnily or fortuitous enough, I get a mammogram next Tuesday . It's just a baseline one. I have fibrocystic breasts...when I was 30 something a bunch of Dr's were like, oh it's lumpy but it's sandy feeling and you are younger, so it's fibrocystic, and never ordered a mammogram.
Now we have 2 things in common, a child with autism and breast cancer mine at 40. Mine was bad, it was in my lymph nodes and i had the worst kind of chemo. Losing my hair was terrible. I also removed my ovaries a couple years later. The doctor told me i would be lucky to live 5 years. It is now 30 years! If it is not in your lymph nodes your chemo might be lightweight and you wont lose your hair. Wait to cut your hair.
Awe Gina I'm so sorry! I will have you in my prayers. I too have been having some health issues and have at least 3 major surgeries ahead of me. I will definately send you a couple of postcards! Love ya girl!😘
gina .. my channel was couponing with Donna .. ive recently changed my channel name . im sorry to hear that you have breast cancer at such an early age... ive been sick and lost alot of weight as well .. ive been getting blood transfusions every 2 weeks because of severe anemia .. turns out though a year and 3 mos later im diagnosed with cml leukemia and need a stem cell transplant if there is a shot of a cure at all .. its the only hope . i will keep you in my prayers and your entire family .
I had breast cancer in 2004. It was ductal in situ. I did have a mastectomy of my left breast. Thankfully, I didn't need chemo and haven't had issues. I did get implants and am actually getting ready to have them replaced. I am now dealing with melanoma...yipee.

I found a two sentence clause in mine that states any outpatient treatment for cancer (mri, ct scans, pet scans, radiation, chemo, & labs etc...) is covered at 100% after reaching my deductible. However, it is not automatically applied like you might think. In fact I check my insurance a few times a week online and have to send a message for every claim to be manually reviewed under cancer diagnosis. Otherwise, I would be paying 20% of everything until I reached max out of pocket. Also I just had a bilateral mastectomy on July 20th with expanders placed that will stay during radiation and a few months past before I get my final implants. Give yourself grace, let others do for you and make meals and such. People will always ask if there is anything they can do for you but few actually just do for you sometimes. Also it can be surprising how much our kids and spouses are truly capable of when we are down and can't do everything. Lifting you up in prayers.

Prayers to you, also. My niece washed my hair for me after my mastectomy and that was just so wonderful. I agree, let people take care of you. The ones that do really want to.
I will be praying for you , your family and your doctors!!!! My great aunt , grandmother, mom and niece all had breast cancer.
I hope they all beat it! Keep up on your checks too
@@ginaschweppe5559 My mom and grandmother did !!! You got this honey !!! My oldest daughter is just 4 years younger than ! So my momma heart kicked in for you !!! I know you have the strength for this fight !!! God bless !!!
Gina, my mom had breast cancer and told me a great aunt of hers had it a long time ago. I reaearched snd found there is a link between breast cancer snd prostate cancer. My mom's dad and his brother both had prostate cancer. That was my grandfather and great uncle. My great uncle died from it and hung on until I told him I would take care of his brother. See, their dad died while they were young and my great uncle was more of a father to his brother than a brother. Both men lived into their 90s. It was a slow growing type. My dad's sister and my mom's sister both had breast cancer at the same time. They both beat it. So, I feel like I am waiting for my turn as I am close to the age my aunts were when they were diagnosed. You are one of the people that taught me how to coupon a long time ago when my family desperately needed me to do that. I am old enough to be your mother but honestly feel like a friend of mine is telling me she has cancer. First, I am so sorry you have it. I will be praying for you throughout your journey. There are some things I have learned theough my mom"s journey that I hope I will be able to share with you to make your journey a little easier. I do beg you to consider a mastectomy. Don't give cancer the chance to spread further or to get into your lymph system if possible. I suggest a book called "Eating Well Through Cancer" by Holly Cleg & Gerald Miletelli, MD. It is worth it's weight in gold. It has sections with knowledge, tips, and recipes for different conditions you find yourself experiencing during this battle. It has helped eveyone I have told about it that has gone through Cancer. That is way enough for now. I do encourage you to see if Amazon has the book so you can peak inside the book. It is at the top of my list as I have seen the difference it can make. Much love to you, my friend.
First off! We are absolutely friends!! How interesting, actually my dad has prostate cancer and he had it removed! You’re right it’s slow growing! He was diagnosed was in middle school and didn’t get it removed until I was in college!
Yes so I am getting a double mastectomy!
I will check this book out, thanks!!

Hi I found you through the news week article you were featured in about Ozempic. Funnily or fortuitous enough, I get a mammogram next Tuesday . It's just a baseline one. I have fibrocystic breasts...when I was 30 something a bunch of Dr's were like, oh it's lumpy but it's sandy feeling and you are younger, so it's fibrocystic, and never ordered a mammogram.
Isn't this wild? I loose weight then get breast cancer?! How was your exam?
Now we have 2 things in common, a child with autism and breast cancer mine at 40.
Mine was bad, it was in my lymph nodes and i had the worst kind of chemo. Losing my hair was terrible. I also removed my ovaries a couple years later. The doctor told me i would be lucky to live 5 years. It is now 30 years! If it is not in your lymph nodes your chemo might be lightweight and you wont lose your hair. Wait to cut your hair.
I am hoping for a less invasive chemo! I hope I get some options!
prayers for you
Thank you!
Lefting you up in prayer

I had breast cancer in 2004. It was ductal in situ. I did have a mastectomy of my left breast. Thankfully, I didn't need chemo and haven't had issues. I did get implants and am actually getting ready to have them replaced. I am now dealing with melanoma...yipee.
How is your melanoma?
We love you stay positive
I will!!
Ty for giving us all information prayers send
Of course!
