Samantha, I’m so glad that you are cancer free. May the Lord continue to bless you with health and happiness.❤
Thank you!

For the first 9 minutes I was convinced you were pregnant lol
Congrats on your results. Very happy for you.
😊 thank you
Dear Samantha, brave, beautiful, wholesome soul. It’s absolutely crucial that you keep this channel going! This will show people that they to can overcome illness and have long fulfilling meaningful lives after their battle with cancer. You go girl! I was rooting for you and you’ve made it . CONGRATULATIONS 👋💚
I started crying when you read that last line ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how this video was formatted, I watched while cooking some lunch for myself so it felt like we’re actually friends and you’re telling me about it as if we’re just hanging out together :) so happy for all of that good news too!
Aww glad you liked it :)
I am a bilateral breast cancer / bilateral lumpectomy survivor - eight years this December. I subscribe to many vloggers - those who have and those who have not survived different forms of cancer and all of whom have undergone treatment based on "the protocols".
You're decision to stop treatment has certainly made me think - not so much about myself as I am 63 and an estrogen blocker is not so radical for me - but for those like you whose treatment impacts quality of life with no guarantee of success.
While I'm tempted to give you advice I will say only to listen closely to your body and have your imaging and labs done frequently as we both know that early detection is critical.
I know that you and your husband will enjoy every day in Alaska... Check out the Aurora Borealis and the night sky in all its magnificence and, of course, watch out for polar bears!
Peace and Love 🌿🐬
I appreciate it! We can’t wait to see the aurora someday :)
So happy 😁 for the clear/NED update. You know I totally can relate to every step you talked about. We even both had a lumpectomy on the same side. My right arm veins are pretty much shot, because of course the left arm can’t be used for bloodwork, blood pressure etc. My port is only used for chemo every 3 weeks. I’m so happy for you and Gray, and the new adventures ahead of you both. When I reached my 5 year mark 3 years ago I was very relieved 😅 but of course my thoughts 💭 occasionally think of recurrence(s) down the road. I take it one day at a time. I’m 20+ years older than you, and I’m always happy to hear your updates and plans you and Gray have for the future. Praying 🙏🏼 that you’ll find a great medical team in Alaska. Sending virtual hugs and positive vibes 🪷🌻🌷
Thanks so much for the nice comment! My left side veins were always better than my right side ugh
Sending prayers and positive energy to you Lisa!
@@lelerussell3623 Thank you 🙏🏼
I’m so happy to hear the great news! You are an amazing young lady who has a lot to share about your experiences. 🙏❤️
:) thanks!
First, you have the patience of Job. Secondly, great news! Thirdly, I follow your other channel too so I m thrilled about Alaska move. So proud and happy for you and hubby too!
Your cancer channel serves a great purpose for women. I’m going to stay subbed to both channels. I love your lust for life!
Thanks so much! Happy to have you on both channels :)
Fun fact! we can in fact tell if you are on your period when you have a PET scan! Thats exactly what the endometrial uptake was! So happy you are still in the clear! good luck with your move!
Hahaha that’s amazing! Thanks for letting me know :)
Glad you’re doing well beautiful!!!
Thank you!!
Oh darling..pet scan anxiety is so real! And the waiting game is the worst!
So happy to hear the good news! I have watched Romee's cancer journey and now that she too has been free from the ugly c word, she still just takes us along with her on her life journey and I'm so thankful. We watch you, we root for you, think of you even when we are not watching and we end up feeling close to you. It's nice to see the good parts too. I'll be here to watch whatever you want to post. You are looking so good too!
Thanks so much!
So funny! I have followed Romee too Lucy. It is so wonderful to see both her and Samantha recover and get back to their lives👍
Fantastic! Congratulations!!!!
Oh Samantha! I’m so sorry they gave you that run around! I used to work in a hospital lab and A pregnancy test is super easy to do. I’m so sorry your dye decayed! I was laughing with you. And I’m so glad EVERYTHING was negative! What a day you had!
Next time I'll do it myself on the day of haha
That's amazing!!!!! And YESSS the drama of the after a good scan "but wait.... we actually need to follow up on something"! That is the crap no one tells you lol! So so so happy for you! My son Austin had clear 18 month scans last month. So thankful for 12 weeks of avoiding the hospital.
Haha exactly! Happy your son had clear scans!!
Samantha! Yay! I am soooooo happy your scan went so well! I really do hope you continue your videos. Like you said, there are so many things you had no time to cover like talking about Taxol and your many other experiences. You sharing your experiences and tips helped me so much since my treatments happened a few months after yours and it was a scary and lonely time. Your videos gave me a lot of comfort and information and helped me so much especially since my husband (who took me to every single appointment) had to wait outside the hospital and I had to go in alone to all of my treatments during Covid. Also there was no cancer patient community that I could be part of to share experiences and information, so you became my mini community. Sending you a big hugs and thanks.😘🤗
Thank you! I feel for anyone who had to go through treatment during covid. It's already lonely, and not allowing visitors makes it worse :(
Keep it coming girl! People seeing you come through on the other side is hope for the still in the midst of disease. Hearing your reflections and information , not yet shared, is even better than if you had shared it while you were gong through it. What a value your journey is for young women who are hit with this and are searching for information. They will get information and hope:)
Aw thank you so much! I hope it will help someone. Wanted you to know I’m subbed to you and have been seeing some of your videos too. You are incredible
Wishing you your BEST LIFE Samantha and Grey! No worries!
Thank you!
Super confident in the medical profession!
This is great news! Love your journey and your transparency. My sister lives in AK! :)
YES!!!!😍😍😍😍you've made my week hearing that. Go on girl 🥳🥳🥳
:)
So happy to hear about your good PET scan report! Sorry that I laughed 😅 out- loud when you burned yourself. Don't know why, but your reaction was really funny 😆 to me!
LOL
So happy for you hope you get to your five year’s . I made to four year , and now it metastasized to my brain and now going through chemo and radiation again .
Sorry to hear that dear friend
Wishing you lots of luck
Warm Wishes
Thank you! Sorry to hear about your metastasis. I hope chemo and radiation go as well as possible
Sending you best love and care. I wish that you live as well as you can and that you have all the support, care and love you want and need.
So very happy for your good news. Just because this was originally for your cancer treatment there is still a journey. It took me 20 years to not be apprehensive. Aches and unfamiliar changes had me thinking it was back. You are so positive and have a great attitude. Thanks for sharing. I had Hodgkin’s twice over 40 years ago.
Thanks for sharing. That happens to me too
i so love your personality! very positively infectious 💓
Thank you!
So pleased for you. I just had to wait nearly 4 weeks for my first year mammogram, it was torture, I was so stressed
Ugh I'm so sorry. I think I'd go insane if I had to wait that long
Omg! You are so funny! I loved this vlog! The whisper lady story was a riot! Also, I've never seen anyone measure the milk for Kraft Dinner haha
I am so happy for you. Great news!
I hope you feel better soon.
Lol it has to be exact! Thank you :)
Good news! I’m so glad you got this news before moving to Alaska. I have a new oncologist starting in April, not reL excited about that. Once you have a relationship with a doctor it’s like starting all over again with a new doc.
Thanks! I hope all goes well with your new oncologist
Oh Samantha I am so very happy for your good news. And I can just feel your happiness. It’s such a blessing that you’re feeling so much better and you have a new adventure coming up. I didn’t catch the name of your other channel
Thank you! The channel is Samantha & Gray and there is a link to it in the description
Congratulations I hope you make it to 5 years 🙌🏼good luck on your move to Alaska
Thank you!
Wow that was quite the day for you. Glad e everything came back so great for you. I understand the feelings of finding a whole new medical team. I wouldn’t like that at all. Take care and I can’t wait to hear about your new adventures.
Thank you! That's the part of the move that I'm looking forward to the least :/
Beautiful news Samantha. What a great news. Congratulations.
Thanks!!
Wonderful update!
Alaska can be very hard to find the availability of medical care. Virginia mason sends some of their doctors up there once a month out of necessity. Check before you go to be safe or don't.
Wonderful news! I hope you feel better soon!! ❤️
Feeling better already
Congratulations!!!!!!
So happy you got some good news! The whispering lady story had me laughing😆.
You have helped me more than you could know as I prepare for my first radiation treatment this week. Left side so I have to do the deep inspiration breathing thing which I know you talked about. I have learned so much from you! Keep creating great informational content (along with spectacular macaroni & cheese!😋).
Haha thanks! Hope radiation goes well!
Congratulations Sam
Happy for your good news!
Us too, thanks :)
Yay, I’m so glad your results were good!
Me too :) Thanks!
Well done Samantha. So pleased xx
:)
So happy for you. I’m getting my mammogram next month. I’m on my second year since I had my chemotherapy. I’m nervous but I’m also thinking positive.
Congrats on 2 years! Hoping you get good news from your mammogram
@@SamanthaL I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
Best to you too❣️
@@SamanthaL my treatment started with chemotherapy in August of 2020 in Jan of 21, I was told I was in remission/ maintenance. I get a cancer shot every 21 days and Zometa in my port every three months for bone support and CAT scans too. They are nerve wrecking. As I have CAT I believe that a mammogram isn't necessary for me. Will you have to have mammograms on a regular bases or will they just do CAT from now on? Cancer treatment raises so many questions!
That’s awesome news!!!
Best video ever. 🥰 So happy for the NED. Feel better, any mac & cheese would do it for me. 💥👍
Mac and cheese is fantastic
So happy your scan came out great. Alaska wow. Always wanted to go and see the whales. Get feeling better. Keep up the videos.👍🙏🇺🇸💕
Thanks! Hope we get to see a whale while we are there :)
Wonderful news!
I'm so glad that you are doing good! Funny about the whispering lady. 😂
Maybe exaggerated slightly but she was fun
Great news!!❤
I like your crazy cooking and chatting style! 😝 so glad all is going well. I have done the whole going out having a preg test for an X-ray then coming back and getting a period shortly after. I have also had the most traumatic PET scan of my life when I had miscarried and my obstetrician had said get the PET and then he will do a D&C. I turned up and they refused to do the PET because I was pregnant even though they had a letter from the ob/gyn saying it wasn’t viable. Then they rang my oncologist at my insistence and came back and lied to me and said he said I couldn’t have PET when I found out later that they hadn’t told the whole story and he would have said Togo ahead and do PET. Argh! Anyway, I hope you have a positive preg test when the time is right! I hadn’t heard you were going to Alaska! Your other videos don’t come up in my feed as often. All the best! So glad things are going well and you can get on with living life.
Thank you! Oh man, that’s so annoying. Sorry that happened. Yep, we’ll be moving this summer and we’re so excited! You may get more updates from the other channel if you turn notifications on, but sometimes UA-cam is just weird like that so idk
Hey Sweetums! I am so effn excited I could yell but I won’t cos I will wake everyone up it’s midnight but WoW Wow WoW!!!! This is absolutely fantastic news. And you look the absolute picture of health eating the Canadian traditional gourmet meal of KD!! I hope you enjoyed it and now I’m hungry! Denise, go to bed. Love you lots, 🥰
Aww thank you so much! Hope you got some good sleep :)
Congratulations sweetheart
Thank you!
Yay.....👏👏👏👏🍀🍀🍀🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍I knew it you're the girl ...cheers...
😁
Just girly things ✌️
Lots of exciting things coming up for you!!! 💕
lol for sure!
Congratulations 🌸💕 you and Grace should just focus on life in Alaska and do videos for the future out there😀
Hoping there will be a lot of that :)
Hell,my friend
Looking so cheerful
Sounds like you have a cold
Congratulations on your NED
Very pleased for you
Warm Hugs 🤗
Thank you!
Hi Samantha
Awesome news
best news!
Girl I Google every bit of my pet scan results until I can understand them. I can usually tell the doctor before she tells me.
Haha that’s amazing
Please go have CTs every 6 months. You don’t need a PET as it’s a lot of radiation, but please get CTs. Just to be safe. Good luck on your move! 😀
Thanks! I’ll still be getting pet scans every 6 months for a while longer :)
Isn’t CT radiation, too?
NED is the other guy you do want in your life. Congratulations.
Lol thank you
I also have a severe reaction to Zometa too. It is the worst!
Definitely. I do a half dose now
You are awesome and funny. Lol
🎆 🎇 Yaaa!!!!
I'm waiting for my results on mammograms horrendous 😫 I'd rather laugh than cry 💜💜
Waiting is the worst. Hope the results are good!
@@SamanthaL thankyou darling 😘 xxx
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering how the magic 5 year mark was calculated. If it was from the time of diagnosis or after your told your in remission/maintenance. With MBC your told there is no cure. As you have had many PET scans, and the scan lights up in areas where there is cancer, does this mean that yours showed no light up? It is said that all people have cancer cells and It always makes me wonder if there is a normal range that shows up in all people who have PETS. I believe the glucose injection attracts cancer cells to feed and makes them visible.
It did not light up except in the areas discussed in the report that were expected. The scan showed no evidence of cancer :)
You’re so funny!!!
🤣 That dang period being so disrespectful lol!
Right??
God grace
Why didn’t you take a pregnancy test at home before going to the hospital?
I was just going to go off the one from the day before but then I got paranoid while I was there
What if the cancer comes back in the other breast.
Then it comes back in the other breast. Is there something specific you’re wondering about?
❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Not a weird video at all. A friend that lives in Alaska posted a video of her family sliding down Baldy, a mountain I presume. A slide is made of packed snow and you slide down on your butt wearing snow pants. Go do that.
That sounds amazing
I'm very happy that I'm free from Cancer after I order treatment from doctor Alued on UA-cam I'm Cancer free

😁😁😁
Samantha, I am glad that your PET SCAN was negative and you have no evidence of cancer in your body.
Me too :)

Hahaha
Preggas
Maybe I wanted to see you strain noodles…
I'll send you a video next time
No, Samantha, that's not what the results say. Stable means no changes. It does not mean no evidence of disease. It means it hasn't changed since your lumpectomy.
No. I was NED here. My doctors told me the scan showed no evidence of cancer in my body
hindsight is 20/20. So that's what people do to fool themselves that they're smart, huh, comment on a 2 yr old video believing they know more than the person who was actually there. Wow
Very glad you are NED. I am not sure how this popped into my feed because I unsubscribed from you because you needlessly terrified women about treatment for stage 4 cancer. That information can kill someone. It's one thing to risk your own life, but it's quite another to empower others to risk their own. You are VERY young. You likely don't understand the repercussions of your actions. But I am a breast cancer survivor who took Tamoxifen for six years with little side effects and who lost a dear friend whose stage 3 cancer recurred after two years. She fought valiantly. She donated a wing to breast cancer center so woman can get chemo in comfort. So you have to excuse me for finding your videos selfish and harmful.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the comment even though you are unsubscribed. I do feel your comment is a little unfair though. I am just sharing my experience, not giving medical advice or telling people how to fight their own battles with cancer. The medicine was too much for me. It caused too many side effects and I was not strong enough. That does not mean that other people cannot or should not do it and I do not promote one option over the other. I do not believe that makes me selfish. It just means I made a decision that was right for myself and I decided to share the reasons why I did so in case it will help someone else make a decision for themself too
When my sister stopped her chemo after breast cancer she bled non stop. She practically needed a transfusion
Awesome news!
Fantastic news!
Definitely!
