Good morning beautiful people! I am so proud to be sharing what we hope will be the last ever cancer video. It has been a long, challenging year made lighter by the people who have surrounded us both online and in the real world. We can never express the gratitude and love we have for all of you. Thank you, thank you ☀🥰
I’m so happy then also because it’s two of my fans b days and now I’m so so happy thank you for telling us love you guys so much also I was just rewatching your 30 day recovery ❤❤❤😭 omg I’m so happy luvs
I think only those who experience cancer themselves can understand the range of emotions, fights and difficult moments you go through. Everybody else just has no clue. Even when you go through it yourself, you still can't put all of it into words.
To a point. My husband has been my ears and eyes for 4 months and at times struggled more than I have. He has been a Rock of support and reason. I am 60 years old. It has been hectic to say the least. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
I know the feeling. Going through it at the moment. I have 3 more rounds of chemo. That's of the 16 rounds I have to do. Then I have surgery, and then 30 rounds of radiation......😬🤯💪🏼
Sweet sweet sweet Bec, when you posted your first video telling us you had breast cancer I myself was diagnosed with cancer as well. Everytime you uploaded a video you were one step ahead of me so I could prepare myself for what was coming, which made me feel like we were in this together. You inspired me to document my own cancer journey as well and I'm just so happy that you're done. A few weeks ago I heard the news myself that I've beaten the cancer! We are winners!!!!! Much love to you ❤️
HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH! As an 84 y/o man I had 45 radiation treatments about 10 years ago for prostate cancer.... men do not talk about it. 9 weeks, every Mon thru Fri Made peeing tough. Peed off the back of my pontoon boat while fishing, with buddies on board. WELL WORTH IT. YOU ARE A SURVIVOR. I had to have my first tattos as well, they include a chip I think, the machine went around me once each time to find these chips, then again to zap the cancer. The radiation was directed in a more concentrated area each 15 treatments. I did not get any burning of my skin. Not sure why you did. At the very beginning they gave me a huge female hormone shot. Now years later I feel great. So men get cancer too. YOU ARE A SURVIVOR. Image those elsewhere who are never diagnosed or treated. WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES. GOD BLESS. Have fun and enjoy life.
My dad got proctitis from his but they also did too much in the treatment program so it scares me a bit, but I am going to the 2nd place he went and did better. He also had heart failure and a pacemaker/defibrillator that complicated treatment. I learned radiation zaps pacers.
I’m a student radiologist, and I just want to say thank you so much for been so open about your experience, it was so valuable to hear it from the patient perspective
Just found this. I had the most awesome radiologists. One was 'old school' and had like 25 yrs experience and had seen so many advances. The other just 8 yrs. But the same experience. Advances in radiation therapy, techniques, equipment, etc are excelerating. Good luck in your career.
If I’m ever faced with the challenges you’ve overcome, I hope I handle it with even half the class and grace and positivity you have. I’ve used the “if I had to choose” mentality before but never for anything this serious. It was always something like when my kids got lice once “I’m grateful this is the problem I’m facing” sort of thing. Thanks for being such a shining star for us and how we embrace our problems, big and small.
I have a cousin who has breast cancer right now and what I have seen is that its not the positivity. We see videos but what I see from my cousin is that shes also realistic and the reality isn't always positive. We need to accept that as a reality. It wont be positive all the time and it can be humbling at times to see the reality. My cousin has young children and spent a week away from her family to heal from her surgery and it wasn't easy. She has a baby she couldn't hold, she and her husband took their older kids on a mini get away and she let us know what she couldn't do. Being positive is important but respecting the reality is another. If my cousin didn't consider the reality and tell us when her days aren't good. She probably wouldn't have accepted the help she received because she often is used to being self reliant with her husband. She had to step back and realize that her cancer has put her a few steps behind where she is usually and thats just how it is. My cousin just continues to help others now that she is more able because she feels better mentally to help others rather then just being positive. She sees the needs of others and feels like everyone has a trial in life and this is just hers.
It has almost been 30 years for me since my diagnosis. I have stage 4 cancer thanks to a bunch of physicians thinking I was too young, at 47, to have breast cancer so they wouldn't order a mammogram. By the time the tumor was removed it had already spread throughout my body. But I was lucky and new treatments came along just as I outlived my old treatments. I ended up having two, 32 sessions of radiation, to different areas,, which was not fun, but I never burned so that was a blessing. Both left me totally exhausted around the 20th session. I lost track of all the surgeries I've had. I actually did very well on chemo as I have an autoimmune disease and the chemo kept its symptoms in check. It has been quite an adventure. While I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I can't complain as I've managed to stretch an expected 18-month survival into 29 years, so far. I'm hoping to make it at least 30 if I can get through the winter. The only advice I can give you is to stay positive and do your own research on your type of cancer. I did that and it saved my life.
Hi bec, I find my self crying in every video you post just really felt that I should message you and tell you how proud and happy I am for you. My grandma passed away from Breast cancer when I was 8 years old, being that young I didn’t understand what she went through and how truly hard it was but watching your videos this past year has made me so so unbelievably appreciative of her and your strength. Your videos have made me feel more connected to my grandmother and for that I thank you a million times over. You are so strong. You are beautiful. I am so happy for you 💗
Without even personally knowing you, seeing you happy, crying happy tears and seeing you being proud of yourself makes me cry with you every single time. To Bec - You are such an incredible, strong woman with such a great mindset that simply makes you a true rolemodel. Thank you for sharing your journey, showing vulnerable and true sides of life and being open and honest along this way. And to Eamon - what a true best friend and partner, what and incredible support for Bec you are...AMAZING! Love you, always happy to watch your videos and looking forward to everything that is to come - you deserve all the best this world has to offer. Greetings from Germany. Take care!!!
Once again, I’m sobbing because I’m so proud of someone who doesn’t know me, but I feel like I know her with my whole soul. I’m so proud of you Bec and I cannot wait to see all the other blessings life showers on you!!! 💕
I'm 69 years old and you're a Inspiration to me. Last time when you did that run, I got off my butt and started exercising. My husband and I cried. I'm so proud of you and Eamon. We will keep you in our prayers.
Oof. Kara saying she'd take the radiation for you just punched me in the gut with love and emotion. What a gift to have such special people in your corner.
Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I started my journey on 2/10/23 and it's been a rollercoaster. Thank you for sharing your journey. I cried and laughed with you. My diagnosis is different but I'm also doing chemo and a couple surgeries will follow. You've given me hope. I wish you both a long happy life together. I wish you both
I was diagnosed stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma on 11th Oct 2023. Mastectomy Nov 9th 2023 and just finished Radiation therapy Jan 17, 2024. Im sitting here rubbing 3 creams in for itchiness and burn. Make sure to keep up with the creams. All the very best on your cancer journey. 💗❤️🇦🇺🦘
I feel like I am reliving my breast cancer journey thru you. I drove 75 miles each way for my year of infusions, I had 18. And I drove the same 75 miles each way fo 35 days for radiation. I started watching because of your journey but discovered along the way that I loved you guys! You are a rock star! You got this!
I’m in tears as I watched the end of this video. I want to say THANK YOU for documenting this medical marathon as I am now starting my own breast cancer journey. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago and have gone back to rewatch many of your videos as a way to help myself with questions and mindset moving forward.
I have been watching you two for a couple of years since I found you from Kara & Nate. I have found so much personal motivation from you , Bec, during your cancer journey this year. I find you to be an amazing example of positivity combined with realism. Your unselfish real struggle with mental health and example to the world is life changing for so many people and I applaud you for your bravery and leadership! You are a STAR and you give me hope each time I think of you. WELL DONE! A good friend just said she can't travel because she was just diagnosed with breast cancer and there are scary times ahead. I sent her your channel link to see your amazing journey and to hopefully be comforted by your raw and true journey and the questions that you had along the way. She is scared and just entering this as you did. I am very confident that your UA-cam series will allow her to understand her journey more deeply and allow her to traverse her future. Thank you again for being so strong for us. We love you!
So very sorry, I had chemo and radiation, stage 4. This was back in 2011. I'm a survivor. I thankfully never got burned. Praying for you. Baptist South, Jacksonville, Florida, best doctor ever. Dr. ASHRAF
When you go through something like cancer as we have been going through, you really begin to see and appreciate the community of support that you have surrounding you! I can't say enough how important the love and support is when going through this journey. I don't know what I would have done without my husband by my side. Congratulations on finishing your treatments. Here's to nothing but clear scans in the future 🥂 💗
Sorry to hear you are walking a similar path Michelle but you are SO right. Community is absolutely everything ❤ sending you lots of love and positivity and hopes for nothing but clear scans for you too xx
@@eamonandbec I am experiencing no health insurance, no family and no care. Diagnosis was Thyroid cancer and then my breast. I tried to receive Medicaid but was denied. I live in the United States. Different states have different standards, I live in a state that has done nothing to help. In the beginning of all of this, I was speaking to a nurse while receiving treatment for ulcerative colitis about Single Payer, and she stated how horrifying that would be and that it is, well, communism.
Yeah my dad passed away when I was 29 and pregnant from lung cancer as stubborn as he was he continued to smoke, he didn't even get to meet his first grandkid. I was packing getting ready to go to West Virginia from Illinois to see him and we were about to leave when I got a phone call from my sister telling me he had just passed. I think they pulled the plug because it was just a few days before Christmas and they didn't want him to pass away on Christmas Day. It's a very tough thing to go through. You never get over it. He also had a brain tumor they operated twice I guess in the third time we were told was not a good idea. I miss him everyday.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story. I already watched what comes after and has given me hope and comfort. I am petrified, 6 days ago my biopsy result was cancer and will have my operation on the 6th December and from there you know what follows. Your story has hugely helped me to prepare for what is to come, I was breast cancer ignorant and is testimonies like yours that help me to take a positive view. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤
Just crying my eyes out with happiness for you both😭Bec, that part in your journal about your mindset making your body an inhospitable place for the cancer was just such an inspiring and insightful piece of writing. You, Eamon and Oso are such a light in this dark world. You really make me (and many others, I'm sure) want to be a better, kinder, and more loving person to everyone and especially to myself. 💜
I underwent mammosite radiation in my left breast following surgery for ductal carcinoma Stage 2. Today marks 18 years from the whole scenario..being cancer free now. I am so thankful.
I’ve never cried so much for a couple I simply know through videos. Congratulations Bec! Here’s to tomorrow and the days that follow ❤ if I ever find a love that reflects what you two have, I will cherish that.
OMG same here... I'm crying as I'm responding lol... at least these are tears of joy and we can continue to celebrate life as we watch the progress of her real life recovery... I'm thankful for them sharing with us when this is such a person journey 💛
Congratulations! I’ve been in the supporting role 3 times! I asked my hubby what he thinks is the secret to beating cancer and he said positive attitude, the total belief that you will win and the love ones that surround you with support, prayers and tons of love! Bec, you had all of that and showed people your courage and determination! Well done, both of you! You both are an inspiration, not only because you’re just genuinely beautiful people but, because you are an example to the value of a loving committed relationship…the good bad and ugly and how love multiplies through it! ❤ Look forwarded to your new chapter! 🎉
What taught me about having breast cancer is to let go of the little things and cut to the chase to what makes you happy and always to be Gratefully, especially for the little things in life, like a beautiful sunset, sunrise or a rainbow. Along with loving your family and friends that extra bit every single moment and never take anything or anyone for granted because anything can happen and your life could change in a split second. Thanks for sharing your experience, it really means a lot to me. This is my second time watching this video. I’m just watching everything that you guys produced, with many more to watch but as I scroll I’m just hitting play for all of them. I’m catching up on your vlogs. Take care and stay healthy.
I’m sitting here with tears streaming, celebrating for someone I dont even know…but I do. I know your heart and spirit and have sent so many prayers. I love how you have been in phases to show the highs and lows, and really educated through your story. Congrats Bec, and kudos to Eamon. ❤️❤️
Letting Eamon ring the bell was touching, just shows your unselfish Heart ❤️ Your support of each other shows what every relationship should inspire to be. It is so wonderful to see you beat Cancer after watching what you have gone through.
I dropped everything to watch the moment my notifications came on. Hearing you read your journal entries made me feel so emotional. Congratulations Bec, to many more beautiful months and years and decades ahead ❤ Thank you for sharing your highs and lows with us and for being you.
Crying my face off watching this as someone going through breast cancer treatment. Radiation is next for me. 20 rounds, 5 being boosts. This makes me feel less alone. It makes me feel that someone else has the same fears, concerns, hopes. This is amazing and I am so grateful you documented this. I know it’s a year old and I’m so glad it’s behind you. Cheers!
Hi! Your comment stood out to me out of many. I hope your radiation treatment goes smoothly and that you make a full recovery! My mom just got diagnosed this week, and she has surgery next week, then radiation. I know I’m not the one going through this, but if you ever need a listening ear, please reach out!
I was diagnosed Sept. 8th, 2023. I have Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Grade lll, HER2 Negative. I have to complete 16 rounds of chemo. 4 rounds of doxorubicin ever 2 weeks once a week. Those are finished. Now I'm doing 12 rounds of Paclitaxel once a week for 12 weeks straight. I have 3 more rounds. My doctors are impressed with how I've gotten through all this and how great the lymphnodes shrank to absolutely nothing as well as to 2 lumps in my breast. My white blood cell counts are great as well as my organs enzymes and levels. I'm glad I'm healthy, young (35), and strong enough to manage all this. I have 3 more rounds of chemotherapy and I'm just so happy it's almost over. Next I have to discuss surgery. I have that BRCA-1 GENE which is the hard part of deciding what surgery I do. Then I have 30 rounds of chemo for 6 weeks straight 5 days a week. That's going to be wild. I had mastitis in my left breast exactly where my cancer lump was present. Very coincidental for it to be at the exact site of the mastitis infection. So I'm not sure if the cancer grew bc of past infection from the mastitis or its bc of the BRCA-1 gene. I also read that women that have had mastitis had a higher risk of developing breast cancer. So I'm so stuck on the decision of a bilateral mastectomy or of I'm still eligible for a lumpectomy since I have 2 lumps that grew in my breast at my 11 o'clock and my 2 o'clock (looking at the breast as a clock). So that's going to be the hardest decision in my life. Makes me break down in tears bc I'll never really be able to have kids after this I'll be in my 40s when I'm finished taking that medication since my cancer is estrogen fueled. So no more kids for me as I do a mastectomy then lose those beautiful memories I had breastfeeding my baby girl. Sucks, but I guess it'll keep me here longer with my daughter and family. The emotional moments peek in here and there but mentally I've been positive. I hope your journey is good to you and you beat this demon of a disease. ❤🎉💪🏼💕
I just wanted you to know that when my mom had radiation, ie the burns, we used vitamin E oil, and it healed right up. It healed perfectly with no scar at all. I'm very happy that things are going so well for you. All is well.
Oh my goodness! The end of this video made me cry tears of happiness! The sweet words of Eamon in the van and the ringing of the bell! Bec you're a true warrior! The amount of strength and positivy you have shown over the past year is incredible! You and Eamon are amazing people and I am so happy to be a subscriber to your channel. Love you guys! Ps: you are killing those outfits and the short hair! Those hoop earrings are everything!🥰
i’m so so proud of you. the strength you have shown in the last year is incredible and just so inspiring. been following you for years and i’m just so glad you’re on the other side now
Thank you so much Hannah! I am so excited to be able to film some videos that don't revolve around treatment and cancer. We all deserve to have a little fun after this year!! Onwards and upwards ✨
Congratulations! You give what you get so you must have lots of love coming your way! Happy healthy days ahead! You are so strong I wish every woman could watch the videos you have made from day one to now ❤❤
I stumbled across this video 2 months ago right after I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. I just completed 2 surgeries (clean margins and negative sentinel nodes!) and am about to begin radiation. 2 months ago, your video calmed my anxiety and fear about radiation. Today, your video fills me with excitement, joy, and hope knowing I’m so close to the finish line.
You are so strong and brave. I’m doing low dose chemotherapy right now for an autoimmune disease. You’re helping me get through this with your endless positive outlook on life! Congratulations bec!
From a fellow autoimmune chick, I'm sending you so much love! 💗 Keep your head up 🥰 I know how hard this is. I was diagnosed in 2006. I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to!
It’s blows my mind how positive and strong you’ve been through this whole thing! I’ve been watching the whole year crying, laughing with you and praying for you! ❤❤❤
So proud of you both! I don’t think I’ve ever known a couple who faced such a crisis with as much positivity, grace and humour as you two have! Thank you for sharing not only the fun and happy times in your lives but the tears, the questions, the ups and downs of your cancer journey and the not so easy times! You have taught us all so much through your vulnerability through this whole journey! I have always felt like Lee is up there in heaven sending you her strength and that sparkle to help you keep keeping on and I know that she has been there with you each step of the way! I am so proud of you and Eamon both because you have fought this together and we should all be so lucky to have a love story like you two share that I know has only gotten stronger! You look absolutely gorgeous Bec and I am so, so, so happy for you both!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had seen your video a month ago, before I had radiotherapy. The video is very informative and from the heart. I had a mastectomy in July then radiotherapy Oct/Nov. I’m now in remission. Thank you for sharing your story I’m positive it will help thousands.
So proud of you both Eamon and Bec. I remember when you first announced you found a lump, then confirmed it was cancer. To think it's already almost been a year. Wow, how far you've come! So happy for you and I can't wait for you both to move into this next chapter. As for the hair, I love it short! Bec you absolutely rock the short hair, love it!
Seeing you and Eamon ringing that bell was just the highlight of my day. I am so glad that you were surrounded by such positivity and strong people, because getting through this is not easy. PS I loved the big earrings with a really short hair…you really rock that look!😊❤️
Congratulations for being done with your year long race with the breast cancer. Those words “You are now cancer free” are the best ever to hear. Now you can relax and maybe use those new eggs. Bec you have been such a strong woman through all this. You also have the love and strength from Eamon. So many husbands would never step up to do what Eamon did for you. You are such a loving couple. I wish you both health and happiness in the years to come. I was crying during the videos because I knew and understood what you were going through. I have gone through breast cancer back in 2001. The only difference is my tumor wasn’t fast growing and it was small. I got the terrible burns that blistered with radiation treatment also. That was so painful. We are both proud SURVIVORS!! XI would love to walk with you at one of the many cancer walks that brings awareness about cancers. Bec you look beautiful with short hair. After some chemo when your hair grows back it may have some curls in it.
I'm a middle aged lady who was on UA-cam for crafting videos when the algorithm decided your bad news was feature-worthy. I immediately became invested and am so happy you're at the end of this journey. Now I'm sticking around your channel for some awesome non-cancer content too! Love from NJ, USA!
I don’t have to do radiation but my chemo starts soon. I was diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer. I’ve been positive throughout this. And watch you go through this has kept me grounded and knowing that cancer is not always a death sentence. Way to go Bec. ❤
Dressing up for chemo or other treatment is THE best thing to do ! I have done it, during all my treatment and it helped me so much mentally !! Thanks for sharing your experience on this channel. I discovered your videos (with the one of your diagnosis), approx 2 or 3 days after learning myself, that I also had cancer. It's been great to see your journey. Thank you.
@@eamonandbec I am so glad for you Bec, that's all done !! Congrats ! I can relate to so much you're saying and feeling. It's been sooo hard, but in all of this, there is also beauty and growth specially when you have an amazing partner by your side 🙏
Thank you for sharing! My sister Rita has just finished her year of breast cancer. All five of my sisters were right by her side. I am so thankful you and Rita has rang that bell!
So Proud of you!!! 🎉 I Followed your whole journey and cried a long with you, root with you & prayed for you! I’m going thru the same right now. I’m in my 20’s & I was recently diagnosed about 2 month ago and had a mastectomy 3 weeks ago, now I’m in the healing process. Your journey helped me a lot emotionally and mentally, especially cancer can feel so darn lonely!! Next month I’ll be meeting with my oncologist about chemo and radiation. 🥲 so Pray for me! ❤️🙏🏼 love you girl!! Your are strong & courageous! I pray that God bless your soul and heal your body! NO MORE CANCER in the name of Jesus! Amen! 😘
This is such a powerful video.. sharing tears and happiness with you…my sister was a radiation therapist (retired now) and it gives me more understanding of her role in the lives of cancer patients.. I am so happy your invasive treatment is over and you can blast into the future.. bless you for sharing this incredible journey.. much love to you and Eamon and your support group ❤💋
Every time a video has come out on this journey to beat cancer it has been eye opening, moving and some how incredibly uplifting. Too see you go through what you have from the start with so much positivity while obviously going through one of the hardest things any person can go through. Shows what a strong positive mindset can do. Just thank you for being you. ❤❤
23 years ago for me I finished radiation after breast cancer. Back then it was recommended to use pure alovera and it really helped. My skin tolerated the radiation treatments very well, but the last couple were very uncomfortable. I was working full time and only left work long enough to drive to and from the treatment. I’m so happy you are finished with all your treatments, rest up and get on with your happy life. 🎉❤
I’ve been told to slather on cream, My Girls, and use a rinse Domebro by someone who went through this without difficulty! Why would they say aloe doesn’t help now? Do you know? So confusing!
can't watch one of your videos without crying, you're so strong Bec, thank you for sharing the entire journey with us, this is finally the ENDDD I'm so proud of you ❤
It’s never silly to celebrate little milestones! Celebrate them all, girl! You’ve earned it!! Also, I have only just found you guys (through Kara and Nate) but I feel really proud of you! You are a warrior and you’ve inspired me to reframe my thinking and be mindful when life is messy. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤗
My grandma rang that bell in 2019 and I still get so emotional when I hear it!! Congrats girl!! You've had such a great mindset throughout the whole journey!! 🥰
Bec, I started running after watching your chemo to 5k video! Thank you for inspiring so many people to see the positive side of every situation and for showing that if you can do all you’ve done while going through cancer, anyone can do whatever they set their mind to! Much love and congratulations! Here’s to the next adventure!
Thank you for sharing your journey. Great that you were proactive about your treatment. After 35 radiation treatments, my skin turned black. I didn't know better and wasn't vocal. My skin did heal. I am so glad you are a strong voice and your viewers have a good example of being a self advocate. Sending good vibes ❤️
I’m sorry to hear you had such a tough time with radiation. My skin is just now starting to fade from a deep red colour to a pink/brown colour and is VERY itchy! So close to the end of this journey!
As an older woman who has just found this video and about to start my radiation treatment in the UK. I thank you for posting this and being such a calm and collective sweet natured soul. You really are inspiring and positive. I wish you and yours a healthy and happy lifetime ahead . (by the way you really are a beautiful young woman and the short hair is perfect to frame your lovely face).... Much love and hugs to you xx😋
Bec- so so so so proud of you!! I cry right along with you, laugh with you, and hold you in my prayers for total healing. My friend just got diagnosed and so I am starting the journey with her. Both of you are such amazing women and truly inspire me with your grace and peace in this journey! Eamon- you are so amazing. You’ve always been supportive of Bec but to see how you have grown this year - man this was a coal to diamond year for you my friend!!
I sit here with tears of joy and gratitude. I am so thankful you are through your treatment plan. My youngest daughter had her own cancer journey and this brought back how I felt when she had her last treatment. I pray for you both everyday and will continue to do so. Bec, you are strong, you are beautiful, and your sweet, positive spirit touches my heart.
I'm crying tears of joy! So wholesome to see your smiles throughout the journey, inspirational to its deepest. So happy to see Max, Kirsten, Kara and Nate visiting you guys! Huge virtual hug to you all!!
Bec my mommy has breast cancer and all I can think about is you and your experience. I know all of this was so hard but I am thankful you vloged what you could so I could better support her. You ARE strong! I am just wanting so bad to support my moms throughout her treatment. Her diagnosis was only stage one but she is receiving only high doses of radiation for five days and it is scary. Today is day one. Thank you for this video and your hopeful mentality❤❤❤
I feel like you've been my breast cancer journey twin in so many ways. I started my diagnosis and treatment journey in January. I was a little more fortunate in that my lumpectomy took out the cancer before we even knew it was cancer and all gone immediately. I had to have prevention treatment. Chemo and Radiation are exactly how you have described. I went through the journey of confusing information as well. Ex. Aloe Vera I was however told to fill tube socks with rice and put into fridge. Then use to cool down radiation area. Helped. I also used Radiation X creme cheapest from Amazon. I used Aquaphor creme. And in a knick of time for right after I used a Dermatologist prescribed Clobetasol Propionate. Although late info for you, perhaps someone else will benefit. Bec n Eamon, thanks for sharing your journey! Take Care!
I'm amazed how well you are doing, Bec. When I had radiation treatment it absolutely took away all of my strength and I became so weak that I couldn't even walk. It also made me terribly anemic and I caught every bug out there for the next year. You are absolutely admirable for sharing your situation with your illness as mentally, I know how much hell you have been through.
I am so happy that you have finished treatment! My scar on my breast is in about the same spot as you. I needed a lumpectomy and radiation and I am on tamoxifen for 10 years. Here’s to beating cancer! Congrats girl! Love ya !
@@muriellejq hi! Sorry for the late reply. I didn’t feel too bad. I had some joint pain but that did get less for me. I had very dry lady bits and ended up having spotting. They took me off the tamoxifen and I had a d and c. I’m on Zolodex now and letrozole. I’m feeling pretty good on these.
Silent follower for what feels like almost a decade. I’ve never cried so much for a complete stranger, but whenever you rang that bell it was tears of joy. I am so happy for you Bec and I hope that one day I can raise my two daughters to be half of the courageous, brave, and beautiful soul that you are. ❤
I'm so happy for you!!! I had the same treatment as you did 4 years ago. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Now, go live life! Love from a sister survivor in Louisville Ky!❤️
I couldn't help my eyes from filling up with tears! I have been following your journey from the start and it was such a beautiful one; Bec, throughout this year you have redefined bravery and strength. Thank you for sharing this past year of treatments with us, Bec and Eamon you guys did it !!! ❤☀
I really appreciated this video and the honest way you shared your story. I had cancer in 2000, and had chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Like you, those dots on my chest are my only tattoos. This video really hit home with me. I'm so glad that you showed your scars and your burns. You really told this story well! And I think you're so lucky to have such a great relationship with Eamon. I like to think that I kept a pretty positive outlook during my whole cancer situation... but you really took that positive attitude to an even higher level! Also, it's so impressive how your family and friends just surrounded you with love through it all! For me, the cancer experience was just one little chapter that I have completely moved on from and don't really give much thought to anymore. I'm pretty sure that's going to be your situation pretty soon, too. You absolutely did look like a model coming out of the hospital during those treatments! Take some still photos of your hair about once a month for the next two years, and put them in their own folder. Then go back and look them over in a year or two... and it might make it easy for you to pick out your best look. Then you can just have it cut to match whichever length you decide looked best.
I am in between surgery and radiation. I asked my husband to watch this - so I sent it to him in an email. He did not mention it to me but I caught him watching it yesterday. He says you are in credible! I am so glad you guys are an example of support and love. Thank you!
Congratulations and thank you for being you and sharing your journey. I am about to start radiation and want to share your “rays of sunshine” mentality. You have inspired me and I have prayed for you throughout your journey. Again congratulations. You did it!
My husband just finished his first round of chemo and its really, really hard. It was so encouraging to hear your joy about it being over and be reminded that this will not last forever. So glad for you and Eamon!
I’ve been through it also and you will get through this! I’m almost 3 years out…still cancer free. Stay encouraged! Keep pressing and keep being positive! ❤️
I kept coming back to your videos as my grandfather goes through radiation therapy for his lung cancer. Your voice and smile, as well as those hugs and kisses with family, really bring peace and calmness to me. Thank you and wish you the very very best
We just lost my grandpa to cancer and my uncle to liver failure, so this is the kind of good news my soul needed today. So incredibly happy for both of you in closing this chapter and on to brighter days!
I definitely cannot express how much I respect not only Bec but all the people in her life who love her and respect her too. You are both amazing amazing people and I really just wanted to say that Bec's shaved head looks so good on her you are rocking this life challenge! Keep it up y'all ♥
Bec, I want to thank you. My mom is going through the same exact thing. Watching your journey has educated me so much about her journey. Thank you and God Bless ❤️
Well I sobbed and grinned through this one. Both of you have been total warriors through this tough process. It has been inspiring to see the love and support you give so freely to one another. Blessings and so much love heading your way ♥️
Hi Bec, I am so proud of you. You make me cry everytime I watch your videos. I have also a breast cancer stage 1 and had my lumpectomy and Lymph/sentinel nodes removed last Sept. 9 this year. It has been 6 weeks and have not received my biopsy result yet. I had my surgery at one of the hospital in the heart of Toronto. My doctor advised the lab are under staff and wait for another week. Waiting is stressful for me and cry for no reason. I don't know I try to stay strong but can't help it. 😔
I have never had the courage to watch a video about someone’s struggle with cancer. The courage you have to face your fears with an amazing positive attitude is exemplary. As a mother of adult children myself, I am certain that your own parents are so very proud of you. For going through your valley of the shadow of death with such courage. And yes you are beautiful, inside and out.
I have literally been in tears at the end of every video in this incredibly hard journey of yours but these are the happiest tears I've cried all year!! I've been watching y'all for years and when you got your diagnosis I cried my eyes out because the world would be so dark without you, Bec
I cried so hard watching this video. I am so beyond proud of you both for facing this journey with such an amazing mindset and absolutely kicking cancer's butt! ❤️ Sending you all the love
I have followed Nate and Kara for years on UA-cam. but my daughter's colon cancer, stage 3, that did metastasize to liver cancer, made me focus on UA-cam channels that I follow faithfully. Then the 22nd month of this path, I wanted to see how cancer patients deal with radiation therapy and amazingly I found Kara and Nate helping and being family to Eamon and Bec....I just can't remember the videos are with Eamon and Bec on Nate and Kara, but I subscribed today.....
Congrats on finishing your treatment. I remember feeling a let down, or a type of loss, when my treatment was over and yet thrilled at the same time. My team of doctors and nurses were like friends and I felt so supported and cared for that I couldn't imagine no longer having that support. I joined a support group at the hospital to try to stay connected. You might go through this, too. By the way, my radiation oncologist recommended several things for the radiation burns which included Aloe Vera, but it had to be 99% pure aloe. It worked well for me. I chilled it in the refrigerator and it was so soothing. I wonder why your team thought it was the worst thing you could use? Good luck healing.
Gosh Bec! I am beyond happy for you and Eamon! I was heart broken with your first diagnosis. I have followed you guys for years now and we have experienced such horrific things on a fairly close timeline. I lost my best friend just when you guys did my daddy completed his cancer journey just as you were diagnosed and now my mama is experiencing the beginning of her breast cancer journey. I’ve used your courage and positivity to share with my mama so she can face it with courage and positivity. I love you guys so much! I am so proud of you!
Hi Bec, I started watching your cancer journey 7 months after my partner has (thankfully) completed his. My partner had radiation everyday for 6 weeks on his neck and jaw, it was brutal watching him go through it, and barely being able to drink water at times. But, throughout most of his journey, he had a similar attitude to yours, and I am in awe of both of you and the many people like you who kick cancers ass! Out of necessity and precaution, I am getting my own cancer genetic tests done and I have been crying with you, hoping I don’t have the gene that causes breast cancer like my mom. I wanted to thank you for documenting your journey and showing us the importance of being proactive when something is wrong. I am so happy to see you thriving and happy, I wish you and Eamon a lifetime of health and continued happiness. Thank you ❤
Bec, you are so adorable. I’m 72 and have had two colon surgeries in the last 8 months. Watching how you have handled all of this makes me feel like such a wimp. You are truly a rock star. Eamon is right. You are gorgeous. I wish you all the best.
Your journey has been incredible to watch. I’m coming up on my 10 year breast cancer-versary. I was definitely fatigued during my Radiation treatments. I was still working regular hours at my job and went to my treatments everyday in the afternoon Monday thru Friday for 7 weeks. Exhausted by the end.
I am starting my first appointment with radiation treatment tomorrow. I will get my tattoos and get all lined up. My doc said he was thinking 5-6 weeks for my radiation. I am hoping not. Thank you for sharing your experience because now I know what to expect. Blessings to you on the rest of your journey through this life.
I was diagnosed with BC in September, will starting my radiation this week, waiting your video so encouragement and inspiration. You are strong, positive energy and so much love❤❤
I'm so happy for you, Bec! Congratulations! You have been so inspirational throughout this whole journey. I wish you nothing but health and happiness as we wrap up this year and you're able to head into 2023 cancer free.
Good morning beautiful people! I am so proud to be sharing what we hope will be the last ever cancer video. It has been a long, challenging year made lighter by the people who have surrounded us both online and in the real world. We can never express the gratitude and love we have for all of you. Thank you, thank you ☀🥰
In Jesus name i do pray that it shall be the last cancer video May God protect you as always.
I’m so happy then also because it’s two of my fans b days and now I’m so so happy thank you for telling us love you guys so much also I was just rewatching your 30 day recovery ❤❤❤😭 omg I’m so happy luvs
Love you both! Praying for healing and strength. 🙏🏾❤️
Love you Bec! I am sure it IS the last!! Only real sunshine from now on. Love to all your Legends.
Thank you Bec! I’m so proud of you and Eamon!! Thank you for bringing us along cuz we all LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys!!!!! 💛☺️🙏🏽
I think only those who experience cancer themselves can understand the range of emotions, fights and difficult moments you go through. Everybody else just has no clue. Even when you go through it yourself, you still can't put all of it into words.
To a point. My husband has been my ears and eyes for 4 months and at times struggled more than I have. He has been a Rock of support and reason. I am 60 years old. It has been hectic to say the least. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
I know the feeling. Going through it at the moment. I have 3 more rounds of chemo. That's of the 16 rounds I have to do. Then I have surgery, and then 30 rounds of radiation......😬🤯💪🏼
Oh for sure! I am now battling depression- I've never had depression. It's so frustrating that things seem to go from one issue to another.
So true I hope other can understand that
Sweet sweet sweet Bec, when you posted your first video telling us you had breast cancer I myself was diagnosed with cancer as well. Everytime you uploaded a video you were one step ahead of me so I could prepare myself for what was coming, which made me feel like we were in this together. You inspired me to document my own cancer journey as well and I'm just so happy that you're done. A few weeks ago I heard the news myself that I've beaten the cancer! We are winners!!!!! Much love to you ❤️
ua-cam.com/video/haZ2Vb4yNJg/v-deo.html
Congratulations!!! 🥳❤️💃🙏🏼
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations 👏. May the Lord bless you and keep you well. You now have such an ability to help others traveling this road. 🥳
Congrats!!!!
HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!
As an 84 y/o man I had 45 radiation treatments about 10 years ago for prostate cancer.... men do not talk about it.
9 weeks, every Mon thru Fri
Made peeing tough.
Peed off the back of my pontoon boat while fishing, with buddies on board.
WELL WORTH IT.
YOU ARE A SURVIVOR.
I had to have my first tattos as well, they include a chip I think, the machine went around me once each time to find these chips, then again to zap the cancer.
The radiation was directed in a more concentrated area each 15 treatments.
I did not get any burning of my skin. Not sure why you did. At the very beginning they gave me a huge female hormone shot.
Now years later I feel great.
So men get cancer too.
YOU ARE A SURVIVOR.
Image those elsewhere who are never diagnosed or treated.
WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES.
GOD BLESS.
Have fun and enjoy life.
My lovely husband did this. Hope you are ok. Prostate can be toughtpath.
My dad got proctitis from his but they also did too much in the treatment program so it scares me a bit, but I am going to the 2nd place he went and did better. He also had heart failure and a pacemaker/defibrillator that complicated treatment. I learned radiation zaps pacers.
I’m a student radiologist, and I just want to say thank you so much for been so open about your experience, it was so valuable to hear it from the patient perspective
Just found this. I had the most awesome radiologists. One was 'old school' and had like 25 yrs experience and had seen so many advances. The other just 8 yrs. But the same experience. Advances in radiation therapy, techniques, equipment, etc are excelerating. Good luck in your career.
As a fellow breast cancer survivor I just cried so many tears of joy for you! Congratulations 🎉
If I’m ever faced with the challenges you’ve overcome, I hope I handle it with even half the class and grace and positivity you have.
I’ve used the “if I had to choose” mentality before but never for anything this serious. It was always something like when my kids got lice once “I’m grateful this is the problem I’m facing” sort of thing.
Thanks for being such a shining star for us and how we embrace our problems, big and small.
exactly !
You will, the saying is mostly true: whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I have a cousin who has breast cancer right now and what I have seen is that its not the positivity. We see videos but what I see from my cousin is that shes also realistic and the reality isn't always positive. We need to accept that as a reality. It wont be positive all the time and it can be humbling at times to see the reality. My cousin has young children and spent a week away from her family to heal from her surgery and it wasn't easy. She has a baby she couldn't hold, she and her husband took their older kids on a mini get away and she let us know what she couldn't do. Being positive is important but respecting the reality is another. If my cousin didn't consider the reality and tell us when her days aren't good. She probably wouldn't have accepted the help she received because she often is used to being self reliant with her husband. She had to step back and realize that her cancer has put her a few steps behind where she is usually and thats just how it is. My cousin just continues to help others now that she is more able because she feels better mentally to help others rather then just being positive. She sees the needs of others and feels like everyone has a trial in life and this is just hers.
@@Skatejock21 I think we see that in the video...🙏🙏 for your cousin and family.

It has almost been 30 years for me since my diagnosis. I have stage 4 cancer thanks to a bunch of physicians thinking I was too young, at 47, to have breast cancer so they wouldn't order a mammogram. By the time the tumor was removed it had already spread throughout my body. But I was lucky and new treatments came along just as I outlived my old treatments. I ended up having two, 32 sessions of radiation, to different areas,, which was not fun, but I never burned so that was a blessing. Both left me totally exhausted around the 20th session. I lost track of all the surgeries I've had. I actually did very well on chemo as I have an autoimmune disease and the chemo kept its symptoms in check. It has been quite an adventure. While I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I can't complain as I've managed to stretch an expected 18-month survival into 29 years, so far. I'm hoping to make it at least 30 if I can get through the winter. The only advice I can give you is to stay positive and do your own research on your type of cancer. I did that and it saved my life.
Your a miracle, bless you
Hi bec, I find my self crying in every video you post just really felt that I should message you and tell you how proud and happy I am for you. My grandma passed away from Breast cancer when I was 8 years old, being that young I didn’t understand what she went through and how truly hard it was but watching your videos this past year has made me so so unbelievably appreciative of her and your strength. Your videos have made me feel more connected to my grandmother and for that I thank you a million times over. You are so strong. You are beautiful. I am so happy for you 💗
||-//
You’re a legend, Bec! Tears of joy
Without even personally knowing you, seeing you happy, crying happy tears and seeing you being proud of yourself makes me cry with you every single time. To Bec - You are such an incredible, strong woman with such a great mindset that simply makes you a true rolemodel. Thank you for sharing your journey, showing vulnerable and true sides of life and being open and honest along this way. And to Eamon - what a true best friend and partner, what and incredible support for Bec you are...AMAZING! Love you, always happy to watch your videos and looking forward to everything that is to come - you deserve all the best this world has to offer. Greetings from Germany. Take care!!!
I really like how Eamon called Bec a weapon. The positivity you exude is a weapon & you can’t be broken. That was beautiful to me.
More like a sales woman for outdated and invasive technology. #rife machine and others like it is the future they are not telling you about
Once again, I’m sobbing because I’m so proud of someone who doesn’t know me, but I feel like I know her with my whole soul. I’m so proud of you Bec and I cannot wait to see all the other blessings life showers on you!!! 💕
I'm 69 years old and you're a Inspiration to me. Last time when you did that run, I got off my butt and started exercising. My husband and I cried. I'm so proud of you and Eamon. We will keep you in our prayers.
Oof. Kara saying she'd take the radiation for you just punched me in the gut with love and emotion. What a gift to have such special people in your corner.
Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I started my journey on 2/10/23 and it's been a rollercoaster. Thank you for sharing your journey. I cried and laughed with you. My diagnosis is different but I'm also doing chemo and a couple surgeries will follow. You've given me hope. I wish you both a long happy life together.
I wish you both
Omg I was diagnosed 2/10/23 as well!!
We got this !!!!
Becs is so inspiring and I can’t wait to celebrate the little things!!!
@@janellethechillis_ Wishing you strength for the battle ahead and much health.
ure in my heart. All my prayers are for u
I was diagnosed stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma on 11th Oct 2023. Mastectomy Nov 9th 2023 and just finished Radiation therapy Jan 17, 2024. Im sitting here rubbing 3 creams in for itchiness and burn.
Make sure to keep up with the creams.
All the very best on your cancer journey. 💗❤️🇦🇺🦘
@@gail9906 I get this. LOL. Good luck.
I feel like I am reliving my breast cancer journey thru you. I drove 75 miles each way for my year of infusions, I had 18. And I drove the same 75 miles each way fo 35 days for radiation. I started watching because of your journey but discovered along the way that I loved you guys! You are a rock star! You got this!
Thank you Libby 💛
I’m in tears as I watched the end of this video. I want to say THANK YOU for documenting this medical marathon as I am now starting my own breast cancer journey. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago and have gone back to rewatch many of your videos as a way to help myself with questions and mindset moving forward.
I will pray for your journey. ❤️
God bless you and help you find strength and peace everyday.
ua-cam.com/video/haZ2Vb4yNJg/v-deo.html
Good luck 🍀 sending positive vibes and I hope you kick cancers butt too xo
I have been watching you two for a couple of years since I found you from Kara & Nate. I have found so much personal motivation from you , Bec, during your cancer journey this year. I find you to be an amazing example of positivity combined with realism. Your unselfish real struggle with mental health and example to the world is life changing for so many people and I applaud you for your bravery and leadership! You are a STAR and you give me hope each time I think of you. WELL DONE! A good friend just said she can't travel because she was just diagnosed with breast cancer and there are scary times ahead. I sent her your channel link to see your amazing journey and to hopefully be comforted by your raw and true journey and the questions that you had along the way. She is scared and just entering this as you did. I am very confident that your UA-cam series will allow her to understand her journey more deeply and allow her to traverse her future. Thank you again for being so strong for us. We love you!
Thinking of you and your friend as you navigate this scary time. Being there for her will be such a comfort and support to her 😊❤
So very sorry, I had chemo and radiation, stage 4. This was back in 2011. I'm a survivor. I thankfully never got burned. Praying for you.

When you go through something like cancer as we have been going through, you really begin to see and appreciate the community of support that you have surrounding you! I can't say enough how important the love and support is when going through this journey. I don't know what I would have done without my husband by my side. Congratulations on finishing your treatments. Here's to nothing but clear scans in the future 🥂 💗
Sorry to hear you are walking a similar path Michelle but you are SO right. Community is absolutely everything ❤ sending you lots of love and positivity and hopes for nothing but clear scans for you too xx
@@eamonandbec I am experiencing no health insurance, no family and no care. Diagnosis was Thyroid cancer and then my breast. I tried to receive Medicaid but was denied. I live in the United States. Different states have different standards, I live in a state that has done nothing to help. In the beginning of all of this, I was speaking to a nurse while receiving treatment for ulcerative colitis about Single Payer, and she stated how horrifying that would be and that it is, well, communism.
@@donnamaco1 I’m so sorry to hear that. I can’t believe your state denied you Medicaid! I’m keeping you in my prayers. Blessings to you.
Yeah my dad passed away when I was 29 and pregnant from lung cancer as stubborn as he was he continued to smoke, he didn't even get to meet his first grandkid.
I was packing getting ready to go to West Virginia from Illinois to see him and we were about to leave when I got a phone call from my sister telling me he had just passed.
I think they pulled the plug because it was just a few days before Christmas and they didn't want him to pass away on Christmas Day.
It's a very tough thing to go through. You never get over it. He also had a brain tumor they operated twice I guess in the third time we were told was not a good idea.
I miss him everyday.
@Donna Cooper Hi, may I ask where you live?
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story. I already watched what comes after and has given me hope and comfort. I am petrified, 6 days ago my biopsy result was cancer and will have my operation on the 6th December and from there you know what follows. Your story has hugely helped me to prepare for what is to come, I was breast cancer ignorant and is testimonies like yours that help me to take a positive view. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤
Just crying my eyes out with happiness for you both😭Bec, that part in your journal about your mindset making your body an inhospitable place for the cancer was just such an inspiring and insightful piece of writing. You, Eamon and Oso are such a light in this dark world. You really make me (and many others, I'm sure) want to be a better, kinder, and more loving person to everyone and especially to myself. 💜
I underwent mammosite radiation in my left breast following surgery for ductal carcinoma Stage 2. Today marks 18 years from the whole scenario..being cancer free now. I am so thankful.
Congratulations 🎉 well done! Happy for you
Emotional is a big understatement when trying to explain how I feel! You two are truly something else 🌻
I’ve never cried so much for a couple I simply know through videos. Congratulations Bec! Here’s to tomorrow and the days that follow ❤ if I ever find a love that reflects what you two have, I will cherish that.
OMG same here... I'm crying as I'm responding lol... at least these are tears of joy and we can continue to celebrate life as we watch the progress of her real life recovery... I'm thankful for them sharing with us when this is such a person journey 💛
Congratulations! I’ve been in the supporting role 3 times! I asked my hubby what he thinks is the secret to beating cancer and he said positive attitude, the total belief that you will win and the love ones that surround you with support, prayers and tons of love! Bec, you had all of that and showed people your courage and determination! Well done, both of you! You both are an inspiration, not only because you’re just genuinely beautiful people but, because you are an example to the value of a loving committed relationship…the good bad and ugly and how love multiplies through it! ❤ Look forwarded to your new chapter! 🎉
💛💛💛💛
What taught me about having breast cancer is to let go of the little things and cut to the chase to what makes you happy and always to be Gratefully, especially for the little things in life, like a beautiful sunset, sunrise or a rainbow. Along with loving your family and friends that extra bit every single moment and never take anything or anyone for granted because anything can happen and your life could change in a split second.
Thanks for sharing your experience, it really means a lot to me. This is my second time watching this video. I’m just watching everything that you guys produced, with many more to watch but as I scroll I’m just hitting play for all of them. I’m catching up on your vlogs. Take care and stay healthy.
Solid life lesson
I’m sitting here with tears streaming, celebrating for someone I dont even know…but I do. I know your heart and spirit and have sent so many prayers. I love how you have been in phases to show the highs and lows, and really educated through your story. Congrats Bec, and kudos to Eamon. ❤️❤️
I feel the same way💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🙏🙏🙏
Letting Eamon ring the bell was touching, just shows your unselfish Heart ❤️ Your support of each other shows what every relationship should inspire to be. It is so wonderful to see you beat Cancer after watching what you have gone through.
I dropped everything to watch the moment my notifications came on. Hearing you read your journal entries made me feel so emotional. Congratulations Bec, to many more beautiful months and years and decades ahead ❤ Thank you for sharing your highs and lows with us and for being you.
Thank YOU for being such a wonderful, loving supporter of ours. We couldn’t have done it without you ❤
Crying my face off watching this as someone going through breast cancer treatment. Radiation is next for me. 20 rounds, 5 being boosts. This makes me feel less alone. It makes me feel that someone else has the same fears, concerns, hopes. This is amazing and I am so grateful you documented this. I know it’s a year old and I’m so glad it’s behind you. Cheers!
Hi! Your comment stood out to me out of many. I hope your radiation treatment goes smoothly and that you make a full recovery! My mom just got diagnosed this week, and she has surgery next week, then radiation. I know I’m not the one going through this, but if you ever need a listening ear, please reach out!
@@_thekatieshowgood luck ...my wife have surgery tomorrow....low grade breast cancer
I was diagnosed Sept. 8th, 2023. I have Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Grade lll, HER2 Negative. I have to complete 16 rounds of chemo. 4 rounds of doxorubicin ever 2 weeks once a week. Those are finished. Now I'm doing 12 rounds of Paclitaxel once a week for 12 weeks straight. I have 3 more rounds. My doctors are impressed with how I've gotten through all this and how great the lymphnodes shrank to absolutely nothing as well as to 2 lumps in my breast. My white blood cell counts are great as well as my organs enzymes and levels. I'm glad I'm healthy, young (35), and strong enough to manage all this. I have 3 more rounds of chemotherapy and I'm just so happy it's almost over. Next I have to discuss surgery. I have that BRCA-1 GENE which is the hard part of deciding what surgery I do. Then I have 30 rounds of chemo for 6 weeks straight 5 days a week. That's going to be wild. I had mastitis in my left breast exactly where my cancer lump was present. Very coincidental for it to be at the exact site of the mastitis infection. So I'm not sure if the cancer grew bc of past infection from the mastitis or its bc of the BRCA-1 gene. I also read that women that have had mastitis had a higher risk of developing breast cancer. So I'm so stuck on the decision of a bilateral mastectomy or of I'm still eligible for a lumpectomy since I have 2 lumps that grew in my breast at my 11 o'clock and my 2 o'clock (looking at the breast as a clock). So that's going to be the hardest decision in my life. Makes me break down in tears bc I'll never really be able to have kids after this I'll be in my 40s when I'm finished taking that medication since my cancer is estrogen fueled. So no more kids for me as I do a mastectomy then lose those beautiful memories I had breastfeeding my baby girl. Sucks, but I guess it'll keep me here longer with my daughter and family. The emotional moments peek in here and there but mentally I've been positive. I hope your journey is good to you and you beat this demon of a disease. ❤🎉💪🏼💕
I just wanted you to know that when my mom had radiation, ie the burns, we used vitamin E oil, and it healed right up. It healed perfectly with no scar at all. I'm very happy that things are going so well for you. All is well.
Oh my goodness! The end of this video made me cry tears of happiness! The sweet words of Eamon in the van and the ringing of the bell! Bec you're a true warrior! The amount of strength and positivy you have shown over the past year is incredible! You and Eamon are amazing people and I am so happy to be a subscriber to your channel. Love you guys! Ps: you are killing those outfits and the short hair! Those hoop earrings are everything!🥰
Bec, you are one hell of a strong woman… you are just beautiful the way you are … Sending you lots of love and positivity… ❤
i’m so so proud of you. the strength you have shown in the last year is incredible and just so inspiring. been following you for years and i’m just so glad you’re on the other side now
Thank you so much Hannah! I am so excited to be able to film some videos that don't revolve around treatment and cancer. We all deserve to have a little fun after this year!! Onwards and upwards ✨
Congratulations! You give what you get so you must have lots of love coming your way! Happy healthy days ahead! You are so strong I wish every woman could watch the videos you have made from day one to now ❤❤
I stumbled across this video 2 months ago right after I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. I just completed 2 surgeries (clean margins and negative sentinel nodes!) and am about to begin radiation. 2 months ago, your video calmed my anxiety and fear about radiation. Today, your video fills me with excitement, joy, and hope knowing I’m so close to the finish line.
You are so strong and brave. I’m doing low dose chemotherapy right now for an autoimmune disease. You’re helping me get through this with your endless positive outlook on life! Congratulations bec!
From a fellow autoimmune chick, I'm sending you so much love! 💗 Keep your head up 🥰 I know how hard this is. I was diagnosed in 2006. I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to!
It’s blows my mind how positive and strong you’ve been through this whole thing! I’ve been watching the whole year crying, laughing with you and praying for you! ❤❤❤
💛💛💛
So proud of you both! I don’t think I’ve ever known a couple who faced such a crisis with as much positivity, grace and humour as you two have! Thank you for sharing not only the fun and happy times in your lives but the tears, the questions, the ups and downs of your cancer journey and the not so easy times! You have taught us all so much through your vulnerability through this whole journey! I have always felt like Lee is up there in heaven sending you her strength and that sparkle to help you keep keeping on and I know that she has been there with you each step of the way! I am so proud of you and Eamon both because you have fought this together and we should all be so lucky to have a love story like you two share that I know has only gotten stronger! You look absolutely gorgeous Bec and I am so, so, so happy for you both!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
I wish I had seen your video a month ago, before I had radiotherapy. The video is very informative and from the heart. I had a mastectomy in July then radiotherapy Oct/Nov. I’m now in remission. Thank you for sharing your story I’m positive it will help thousands.
Yay remission! 🎉
So proud of you both Eamon and Bec. I remember when you first announced you found a lump, then confirmed it was cancer. To think it's already almost been a year. Wow, how far you've come! So happy for you and I can't wait for you both to move into this next chapter. As for the hair, I love it short! Bec you absolutely rock the short hair, love it!
Seeing you and Eamon ringing that bell was just the highlight of my day. I am so glad that you were surrounded by such positivity and strong people, because getting through this is not easy.
PS I loved the big earrings with a really short hair…you really rock that look!😊❤️
Congratulations for being done with your year long race with the breast cancer. Those words “You are now cancer free” are the best ever to hear. Now you can relax and maybe use those new eggs. Bec you have been such a strong woman through all this. You also have the love and strength from Eamon. So many husbands would never step up to do what Eamon did for you. You are such a loving couple. I wish you both health and happiness in the years to come. I was crying during the videos because I knew and understood what you were going through. I have gone through breast cancer back in 2001. The only difference is my tumor wasn’t fast growing and it was small. I got the terrible burns that blistered with radiation treatment also. That was so painful. We are both proud SURVIVORS!! XI would love to walk with you at one of the many cancer walks that brings awareness about cancers. Bec you look beautiful with short hair. After some chemo when your hair grows back it may have some curls in it.
I'm a middle aged lady who was on UA-cam for crafting videos when the algorithm decided your bad news was feature-worthy. I immediately became invested and am so happy you're at the end of this journey. Now I'm sticking around your channel for some awesome non-cancer content too! Love from NJ, USA!
I don’t have to do radiation but my chemo starts soon. I was diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer. I’ve been positive throughout this. And watch you go through this has kept me grounded and knowing that cancer is not always a death sentence. Way to go Bec. ❤
Thinking of you Kelly! You’ve got this ❤❤
Please watch the Gerson Cancer Method here on YT.
Great ideas/tips I hadn't heard of before.
Wonderful people.
Prayers to you.
Prayers for you Kelly.
think about diet changes girl, sugar is the #1 food of cancer cells. Its hard because its an addiction, it will be a gift to yourself!
Goodluck with everything! 🥰
Always sending you and eamon all the love in the world. You are such a strong woman and I'm so proud of you getting through it ♥️
Thank you so much for being a support for us both throughout this time! We appreciate you 💜
Dressing up for chemo or other treatment is THE best thing to do ! I have done it, during all my treatment and it helped me so much mentally !! Thanks for sharing your experience on this channel. I discovered your videos (with the one of your diagnosis), approx 2 or 3 days after learning myself, that I also had cancer. It's been great to see your journey. Thank you.
So sorry to hear that you are walking a similar path Julie ❤. You’ve got this!
@@eamonandbec
I am so glad for you Bec, that's all done !! Congrats !
I can relate to so much you're saying and feeling.
It's been sooo hard, but in all of this, there is also beauty and growth specially when you have an amazing partner by your side 🙏
Thank you for sharing! My sister Rita has just finished her year of breast cancer. All five of my sisters were right by her side. I am so thankful you and Rita has rang that bell!
So Proud of you!!! 🎉 I Followed your whole journey and cried a long with you, root with you & prayed for you! I’m going thru the same right now. I’m in my 20’s & I was recently diagnosed about 2 month ago and had a mastectomy 3 weeks ago, now I’m in the healing process. Your journey helped me a lot emotionally and mentally, especially cancer can feel so darn lonely!! Next month I’ll be meeting with my oncologist about chemo and radiation. 🥲 so Pray for me! ❤️🙏🏼 love you girl!! Your are strong & courageous! I pray that God bless your soul and heal your body! NO MORE CANCER in the name of Jesus! Amen! 😘
This is such a powerful video.. sharing tears and happiness with you…my sister was a radiation therapist (retired now) and it gives me more understanding of her role in the lives of cancer patients.. I am so happy your invasive treatment is over and you can blast into the future.. bless you for sharing this incredible journey.. much love to you and Eamon and your support group ❤💋
Every time a video has come out on this journey to beat cancer it has been eye opening, moving and some how incredibly uplifting. Too see you go through what you have from the start with so much positivity while obviously going through one of the hardest things any person can go through. Shows what a strong positive mindset can do. Just thank you for being you. ❤❤
You are amazing! Your beauty shines so bright inside and out. I'm halfway through my radiation. You have inspired me to find my inner sunshine.
23 years ago for me I finished radiation after breast cancer. Back then it was recommended to use pure alovera and it really helped. My skin tolerated the radiation treatments very well, but the last couple were very uncomfortable. I was working full time and only left work long enough to drive to and from the treatment. I’m so happy you are finished with all your treatments, rest up and get on with your happy life. 🎉❤
I’ve been told to slather on cream, My Girls, and use a rinse Domebro by someone who went through this without difficulty! Why would they say aloe doesn’t help now? Do you know? So confusing!
can't watch one of your videos without crying, you're so strong Bec, thank you for sharing the entire journey with us, this is finally the ENDDD I'm so proud of you ❤
It’s never silly to celebrate little milestones! Celebrate them all, girl! You’ve earned it!! Also, I have only just found you guys (through Kara and Nate) but I feel really proud of you! You are a warrior and you’ve inspired me to reframe my thinking and be mindful when life is messy. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤗
💛💛💛
Smiling ear to ear this whole video such a positive person in the dark times
My grandma rang that bell in 2019 and I still get so emotional when I hear it!! Congrats girl!! You've had such a great mindset throughout the whole journey!! 🥰
Bec, I started running after watching your chemo to 5k video! Thank you for inspiring so many people to see the positive side of every situation and for showing that if you can do all you’ve done while going through cancer, anyone can do whatever they set their mind to! Much love and congratulations! Here’s to the next adventure!
Thank you for sharing your journey. Great that you were proactive about your treatment. After 35 radiation treatments, my skin turned black. I didn't know better and wasn't vocal. My skin did heal. I am so glad you are a strong voice and your viewers have a good example of being a self advocate.
Sending good vibes ❤️
I’m sorry to hear you had such a tough time with radiation. My skin is just now starting to fade from a deep red colour to a pink/brown colour and is VERY itchy! So close to the end of this journey!
As an older woman who has just found this video and about to start my radiation treatment in the UK.
I thank you for posting this and being such a calm and collective sweet natured soul.
You really are inspiring and positive. I wish you and yours a healthy and happy lifetime ahead .
(by the way you really are a beautiful young woman and the short hair is perfect to frame your lovely face)....
Much love and hugs to you xx😋
Bec- so so so so proud of you!! I cry right along with you, laugh with you, and hold you in my prayers for total healing. My friend just got diagnosed and so I am starting the journey with her. Both of you are such amazing women and truly inspire me with your grace and peace in this journey! Eamon- you are so amazing. You’ve always been supportive of Bec but to see how you have grown this year - man this was a coal to diamond year for you my friend!!
I sit here with tears of joy and gratitude. I am so thankful you are through your treatment plan. My youngest daughter had her own cancer journey and this brought back how I felt when she had her last treatment. I pray for you both everyday and will continue to do so. Bec, you are strong, you are beautiful, and your sweet, positive spirit touches my heart.
I'm crying tears of joy! So wholesome to see your smiles throughout the journey, inspirational to its deepest. So happy to see Max, Kirsten, Kara and Nate visiting you guys! Huge virtual hug to you all!!
Bec my mommy has breast cancer and all I can think about is you and your experience. I know all of this was so hard but I am thankful you vloged what you could so I could better support her. You ARE strong! I am just wanting so bad to support my moms throughout her treatment. Her diagnosis was only stage one but she is receiving only high doses of radiation for five days and it is scary. Today is day one. Thank you for this video and your hopeful mentality❤❤❤
I feel like you've been my breast cancer journey twin in so many ways. I started my diagnosis and treatment journey in January.
I was a little more fortunate in that my lumpectomy took out the cancer before we even knew it was cancer and all gone immediately. I had to have prevention treatment.
Chemo and Radiation are exactly how you have described.
I went through the journey of confusing information as well. Ex. Aloe Vera
I was however told to fill tube socks with rice and put into fridge. Then use to cool down radiation area. Helped.
I also used Radiation X creme cheapest from Amazon. I used Aquaphor creme. And in a knick of time for right after I used a Dermatologist prescribed Clobetasol Propionate. Although late info for you, perhaps someone else will benefit.
Bec n Eamon, thanks for sharing your journey! Take Care!

I'm amazed how well you are doing, Bec. When I had radiation treatment it absolutely took away all of my strength and I became so weak that I couldn't even walk. It also made me terribly anemic and I caught every bug out there for the next year. You are absolutely admirable for sharing your situation with your illness as mentally, I know how much hell you have been through.
I am so happy that you have finished treatment! My scar on my breast is in about the same spot as you. I needed a lumpectomy and radiation and I am on tamoxifen for 10 years. Here’s to beating cancer! Congrats girl! Love ya !
How do you feel on Tamoxifen
@@muriellejq hi! Sorry for the late reply. I didn’t feel too bad. I had some joint pain but that did get less for me. I had very dry lady bits and ended up having spotting. They took me off the tamoxifen and I had a d and c. I’m on Zolodex now and letrozole. I’m feeling pretty good on these.
Good for you! I had stage 3 breast cancer. Had chemo and radiation myself almost 10 years ago. And here I am, about to turn 71.
Silent follower for what feels like almost a decade. I’ve never cried so much for a complete stranger, but whenever you rang that bell it was tears of joy. I am so happy for you Bec and I hope that one day I can raise my two daughters to be half of the courageous, brave, and beautiful soul that you are. ❤
I'm so happy for you!!! I had the same treatment as you did 4 years ago. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Now, go live life! Love from a sister survivor in Louisville Ky!❤️
I couldn't help my eyes from filling up with tears! I have been following your journey from the start and it was such a beautiful one; Bec, throughout this year you have redefined bravery and strength. Thank you for sharing this past year of treatments with us, Bec and Eamon you guys did it !!! ❤☀
i am not crying, i am not crying, Ok im crying, You are such a strong and beautiful soul!
Bec, you rock the short hair! And I’m so happy for you both to see the end of this journey ❤️
Came here to say the exact same thing (almost verbatim, haha). Bec, you do pixie perfect
I really appreciated this video and the honest way you shared your story. I had cancer in 2000, and had chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Like you, those dots on my chest are my only tattoos. This video really hit home with me. I'm so glad that you showed your scars and your burns. You really told this story well! And I think you're so lucky to have such a great relationship with Eamon. I like to think that I kept a pretty positive outlook during my whole cancer situation... but you really took that positive attitude to an even higher level! Also, it's so impressive how your family and friends just surrounded you with love through it all!
For me, the cancer experience was just one little chapter that I have completely moved on from and don't really give much thought to anymore. I'm pretty sure that's going to be your situation pretty soon, too.
You absolutely did look like a model coming out of the hospital during those treatments! Take some still photos of your hair about once a month for the next two years, and put them in their own folder. Then go back and look them over in a year or two... and it might make it easy for you to pick out your best look. Then you can just have it cut to match whichever length you decide looked best.

I feel so honored to have been a part of this incredible journey with you. You are a beautiful, fierce warrior, Bec!
I am in between surgery and radiation. I asked my husband to watch this - so I sent it to him in an email. He did not mention it to me but I caught him watching it yesterday. He says you are in credible! I am so glad you guys are an example of support and love. Thank you!
Congratulations and thank you for being you and sharing your journey. I am about to start radiation and want to share your “rays of sunshine” mentality. You have inspired me and I have prayed for you throughout your journey. Again congratulations. You did it!
I’ve been a silent watcher since the beginning of this journey. Becca I’m so proud of you and so happy you’re good
My husband just finished his first round of chemo and its really, really hard. It was so encouraging to hear your joy about it being over and be reminded that this will not last forever. So glad for you and Eamon!
I’ve been through it also and you will get through this! I’m almost 3 years out…still cancer free. Stay encouraged! Keep pressing and keep being positive! ❤️
@@sanchez2738 thank you 🥲
I kept coming back to your videos as my grandfather goes through radiation therapy for his lung cancer. Your voice and smile, as well as those hugs and kisses with family, really bring peace and calmness to me. Thank you and wish you the very very best
We just lost my grandpa to cancer and my uncle to liver failure, so this is the kind of good news my soul needed today. So incredibly happy for both of you in closing this chapter and on to brighter days!
I definitely cannot express how much I respect not only Bec but all the people in her life who love her and respect her too. You are both amazing amazing people and I really just wanted to say that Bec's shaved head looks so good on her you are rocking this life challenge! Keep it up y'all ♥
Bec, I want to thank you. My mom is going through the same exact thing. Watching your journey has educated me so much about her journey. Thank you and God Bless ❤️
Sending lots of love and positivity to both you and your mom! She’s got this ❤
Nothing but admiration for your positive attitude. So happy you reached the end of treatments, you are amazing and you hubby is a gem.❤
Well I sobbed and grinned through this one. Both of you have been total warriors through this tough process. It has been inspiring to see the love and support you give so freely to one another. Blessings and so much love heading your way ♥️
I got so much more emotional watching this than I thought I would. Way to go, Bec! You're a rockstar!
Hi Bec, I am so proud of you. You make me cry everytime I watch your videos. I have also a breast cancer stage 1 and had my lumpectomy and Lymph/sentinel nodes removed last Sept. 9 this year. It has been 6 weeks and have not received my biopsy result yet. I had my surgery at one of the hospital in the heart of Toronto. My doctor advised the lab are under staff and wait for another week. Waiting is stressful for me and cry for no reason. I don't know I try to stay strong but can't help it. 😔
I have never had the courage to watch a video about someone’s struggle with cancer. The courage you have to face your fears with an amazing positive attitude is exemplary. As a mother of adult children myself, I am certain that your own parents are so very proud of you. For going through your valley of the shadow of death with such courage. And yes you are beautiful, inside and out.
I have literally been in tears at the end of every video in this incredibly hard journey of yours but these are the happiest tears I've cried all year!! I've been watching y'all for years and when you got your diagnosis I cried my eyes out because the world would be so dark without you, Bec
I cried so hard watching this video. I am so beyond proud of you both for facing this journey with such an amazing mindset and absolutely kicking cancer's butt! ❤️ Sending you all the love
I have followed Nate and Kara for years on UA-cam. but my daughter's colon cancer, stage 3, that did metastasize to liver cancer, made me focus on UA-cam channels that I follow faithfully. Then the 22nd month of this path, I wanted to see how cancer patients deal with radiation therapy and amazingly I found Kara and Nate helping and being family to Eamon and Bec....I just can't remember the videos are with Eamon and Bec on Nate and Kara, but I subscribed today.....
Congrats on finishing your treatment. I remember feeling a let down, or a type of loss, when my treatment was over and yet thrilled at the same time. My team of doctors and nurses were like friends and I felt so supported and cared for that I couldn't imagine no longer having that support. I joined a support group at the hospital to try to stay connected. You might go through this, too. By the way, my radiation oncologist recommended several things for the radiation burns which included Aloe Vera, but it had to be 99% pure aloe. It worked well for me. I chilled it in the refrigerator and it was so soothing. I wonder why your team thought it was the worst thing you could use? Good luck healing.
Gosh Bec! I am beyond happy for you and Eamon! I was heart broken with your first diagnosis. I have followed you guys for years now and we have experienced such horrific things on a fairly close timeline. I lost my best friend just when you guys did my daddy completed his cancer journey just as you were diagnosed and now my mama is experiencing the beginning of her breast cancer journey. I’ve used your courage and positivity to share with my mama so she can face it with courage and positivity. I love you guys so much! I am so proud of you!
💛💛💛
Hi Bec, I started watching your cancer journey 7 months after my partner has (thankfully) completed his. My partner had radiation everyday for 6 weeks on his neck and jaw, it was brutal watching him go through it, and barely being able to drink water at times. But, throughout most of his journey, he had a similar attitude to yours, and I am in awe of both of you and the many people like you who kick cancers ass! Out of necessity and precaution, I am getting my own cancer genetic tests done and I have been crying with you, hoping I don’t have the gene that causes breast cancer like my mom. I wanted to thank you for documenting your journey and showing us the importance of being proactive when something is wrong. I am so happy to see you thriving and happy, I wish you and Eamon a lifetime of health and continued happiness. Thank you ❤
Bec, you are so adorable. I’m 72 and have had two colon surgeries in the last 8 months. Watching how you have handled all of this makes me feel like such a wimp. You are truly a rock star. Eamon is right. You are gorgeous. I wish you all the best.
This is an inspirational vlog that should be recommended to ALL suffering with medical issues. Congratulations Bec!
Your journey has been incredible to watch. I’m coming up on my 10 year breast cancer-versary. I was definitely fatigued during my Radiation treatments. I was still working regular hours at my job and went to my treatments everyday in the afternoon Monday thru Friday for 7 weeks. Exhausted by the end.
I am starting my first appointment with radiation treatment tomorrow. I will get my tattoos and get all lined up. My doc said he was thinking 5-6 weeks for my radiation. I am hoping not. Thank you for sharing your experience because now I know what to expect. Blessings to you on the rest of your journey through this life.
I was diagnosed with BC in September, will starting my radiation this week, waiting your video so encouragement and inspiration. You are strong, positive energy and so much love❤❤
I'm so happy for you, Bec! Congratulations! You have been so inspirational throughout this whole journey. I wish you nothing but health and happiness as we wrap up this year and you're able to head into 2023 cancer free.
