How do I get a consultation with you about my ovarian cancer
Thank you✌️🙏
Hello, would love to connect with you. Iam getting fitted for the radiation mask on Wednesday and hoply start chemo soon after
I am from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and I am interested to be apart of your program
@@karensteven8276 I help women from all over the world (including many from Jamaica). You can email me at dramy@cancerfreedomprogram.com for next steps
I’ve been doing chemo for a year now, it’s not easy but I’m making it work with Jesus by my side.
I wish you the best, and I completely believe you will fully recover❤❤ sending prayers❤❤
Aww me too.
Continue to do all you have do in Faith. You will Heal in Might Name Jesus..
@@nols3726 Does it help if one is bitten by cobra? Chemo is just slow version of that....fix your circadian rhythm, use fasting, eat healthy diet, do exercise, meditation....if you do all these, Jesus will himself come and help you.
Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Stay positive people, my Urologist first asked me if I saw my test results online. I had no idea there was such a thing. Then he told me I have prostate cancer, the way he told me was like I had 2 weeks left to live. I soon did all my own research and talked 2 two Oncologists. my Chemo Oncologist told me I had the best attitude of any of her patients. I have simply decided this is not going to kill me and I am doing everything I can to heal my body. I know that doctor is not God, and I also know that a positive attitude is 90% of everything. God Bless you all.
how are you doing?
Bless you 🙏
Hey how are you now?
My hubby was being treated for large prostate for round 3 years..bloods scan tablets to reduce it...mmm meanwhile the Dr moved, he had to see a woman Dr.. she sent him for a biopsy, now he is a interstate truck driver..the Dr rang him and told hi it's cancer...it was metastatic...went to oncologist gave him 3 to 5..that 4 years ago..he is strong..had 3 lots radium 8 months chemo now into another 10 months chemo..he's lost 9kgs all up...doing great...we take day at a time..well try to...take care all
Thank you be starting chemo soon for ovarian cancer please pray for me
I will pray for you! Be strong and I hope all the best for you!
Me too. May Father God bless you and heal you.
Hope you’re doing well. I finished chemo for OC in January.
Keep in mind that chemo affects different people with different cancers differently. The exhaustion part is sooooo real. But nausea is still common
I release info based on stats. Of course some people get nausea but not the majority
I have had no nausea, I love to eat. There are other problems you can have though!
So many times I thought the chemo was going to kill me. It didn't, I'm still here!
I made it thru 4.5 months with a catheter, then 6 chemo sessions, my main thing is always stay positive and let nothing bring you down. Worrying only makes things seem worse, God Bless.
Oh my goodness. I'm getting my port put in Thursday. Lord make this go by with a breeze
🙌🏽🙌🏽
How many sessions have you had?
Thanks
What works for me is having a positive attitude and meditation. Mindset is what it all comes down to.
Agree!
Yes totally agree
Truth i hated hospital food thinking they chef was a useless cook lol but it was my taste buds were destroyed i ended up bald but my weight is back an there is hair growing in places where there was none
Pancreatic survivor. 10 rounds. Good times.
I'm postchemo 17 years, due to GI issues I still vomit very easily. Zofran is my best friend.
What can you do when you can’t eat healthy and most food banks are a joke I had bilateral mastectomies in 2018 and chemo I was 75 had abdominal surgery in 2020 for fluid filled cysts both ovaries together weighed over 30 lbs. both were benign by the Grace of God I was prayed for and God healed me of the cancer I’m now 79 thank you for all the information
Smoothies…apple sauce…oatmeal…soup…mash potatoes..stewed chicken..ice cream….etc.
Not many people know this, ,but there is really 13 things. 13. Men also get cancer and have trouble with chemo.... you would think by the number of female only oriented channels that it just didn't exist. You have a great channel. It would just be refreshing as a stage 4 to hear anyone say something about helping men and women alike with cancer related issues. Never give up the fight. Keep rocking it. Thank you
Best wishes to you finding the support you need. My account is for women. They are under served and need the support. Hormonally driven cancer is different so the specialized support is needed.
@Awesome Dave So glad someone mentioned this fact. It's obviously a self evident truth but we guys really need support. I live in the UK and it seems to me that men are the ones who are underrepresented. That being said, I'm sure much of the advice given in this particular video is also applicable to us as well as our female counterparts. The comparative lack of male UA-cam cancer channels is perhaps testimony to our underrepresentation. Hopefully that will change. After all the incidence of cancer in males is 1 out of 2 whereas it's 1 in 3 for females. (National Cancer Institute). Guys are significantly higher. Still, it's not a competition. Cancer's no respector of persons. Stay well 👍

My brother in law had stage 4 tonsil cancer and he said a good support network of family & friends plus a positive additude were critical to him beating that. Hope all you Dudes out there find what you need to win the cancer battle!
So make your own video. Nobody is stopping you.
8 years later and I still have neuropathy. No one told me I would have it, much less that it wouldn’t go away. And I had tooth damage also.
Simple a lot of doctors are snakes. They’re in it for the money. Do your research and be your own advocate. I’m sitting here other week eating smoothies and half of my back tooth slid off. Then I have a black mark across my whole forehead. I made her stop it immediately and refused the pills she gave me. Now she’s trying to sneakily put me back on chemo balls…hell no. We never talk about the good things…my hair growing back..nails stronger…no spitting of blood or blowing blood..she seem to ignore all those things. Yes my #’s might be up but the cancer is slow growing. Numbers could be up from tooth getting pulled…all the food is bioengineered…any number of things. So now I’m going back to being a pescatarian and buy as much organic food I can afford.
But you're Alive ....
I didn’t lose weight for chemo I didn’t gain weight. I think the only thing that really bothered me a lot was everywhere I went. Everyone would ask me about my chemo and I got tired of talking about it. Nobody asked how I was doing just about how the chemo was going.
I lost my appetite but when I eat I increase in weight. Even if the food taste bitter because I follow the doctors saying I should not lose weight. I have friends who keep asking how I am doing but I don’t like that kind of greetings I don’t want to talk about my cancer because I become emotional and crying hurts my head my jaws my eyes. What I want if someone wants to help me I need someone who would ask what food would you like I will cook for you that’s the greatest help for me. Coming home after the treatment I need to prepare my food instead of lying down resting because I felt exhausted at the hospital. I told the nurse who comes to the house to disconnect my home chemo and on the next day another nurse coming to change the dressing of my PICC not to talk about my cancer unless I open up to them whatever progress there is. A certain nurse who became a friend and do the dressing many times because she lives nearby made me happy she is a very comforting nurse I feel at ease with her. Now my oncologist is planning to change my chemo meds because after 6chemo treatment the tumour size still the same and what worries me he suggested a radiation too. I agree what choice do I have? I just want the tumour to shrink so the surgeon can operate but now I have to start again and on my 8th treatment I think chemo meds will change.
so how was your chemo?
so how were you doing?@@aussieme-mt7vr
Do your research. I took back my life I make the decisions. Cause a lot of doctors sure think they’re God.
I agree. People I know want information about me so much they have gone to my relatives behind my back to ask them. I can’t help but get mad at them for doing this and then they give me the impression that I’m too sensitive. I don’t understand why they are so intent on all my personal info but they won’t get it from anyone but me. I have seriously considered changing my phone number and not giving it to them. They feign concern for me but I don’t buy it.
I completed chemo and immunotherapy 2021 for small cell stage 4 lung cancer which for the past year is "undetectible". I was given an anti nausea med I.V during the chemo and immunotherapy. I was only nauseous once. Since I developed side effects from the immunotherapy it was stopped shortly after chemo ended. Its hard to know if my symptoms were from chemo or immunotherapy or both. I did require a blood transfusion due to extremely abnormal blood count. The transfusion greatly improved my energy level. The conditions I developed include hypothyroidism, hypertension, hair loss, extremely dry skin, brittle nails, skin discolorations (reddish sunburn like chest and cheeks) extreme itching. The itching was only relieved with high dose steroids which caused weight gain. Finally my hair grew back. my nails are long and healthy. I no longer have serious skin problems. Steroids were slowly titrated until discontinuation. I now take Dupixent injection every 2 wks.I still have tiredness late morniings but overall much improved.
Also I was hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia requiring 6 wks. of continuous oxygen.
Presently I am feeling well. While my ct scans have been favorable I am cognizant of the reality and possibility of recurrence. As far as side effects from treatment, for me the outcome certainly outweighed the side effects which have been managed well by my specialists. I am fortunate to have a great team of doctors treating me.

I'M SO GLAD I HAVE FOUND YOU DR. AMY. MY 44 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS STAGE 4 metastatic soft tissue sarcoma CANCER. SHE JUST STARTED HER SECOND DOSES OF CHEMO IN MARCH 2023. THREE DAYS ONE WEEK AND TWO WEEKS OFF. AND THIS IS HER SECOND YEAR OF CHEMO. I WILL GET BACK WITH YOU MORE WITH INFO. I'M GOING TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER WATCH YOUR VIDEO TONIGHT. ONOCOLOGIST NEED TO RECOMMEND YOUR VIDEO. ❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU! FOR POSTING YOUR VIDEO AND SHARING SOOOO! MUCH INFORMATION. IT IS HURTING ME AS A MOTHER TO NOT GET ALL THE INFORMATION I NEED TO HELP MY SWEET DAUGHTER.
I hear your pain...I am deeply sorry for you and other families experiencing this.
Just know that metastatic is manageable..your daughter will pull through this xx love and light your way.
@@stephp7778 THANK YOU! SO MUCH, I FEEL SHE WILL PULL THROUGH. WE HAVE GOT TO STAY ON TOP OF EVERYTHING WITH HER, WITH MEDICINE AND FOOD.❤
Fatigue does go away with time. All side effects come and go as you go through treatment.
Short hair or no hair actually make it easier to go through treatment. Hair can be annoying when you feel bad
I cannot agree with you more on the hair, I cut it short to prepare but it's just super annoying. I'm going to shave it this weekend when I have more energy because I think it will be easier to manage 😅
I had a 7 kilo tumor, had 25 rounds of radiation, lost 6 stones in weight, sick and nauseated every single moment without reprieve exhausted, I'd fall asleep on the train to the hospital which is 90 minutes to 2 hours away and sleep all the way home then get on the couch and just sleep , it felt as though I was never going to feel better or normal , after my 7 hour operation they took my left kidney my spleen and large piece of pancreas, hundreds of inside stitches and 62 staples on the outside , i was cut from my breast bone to almost to my pubic bone took 18 months to 2 years to recover
So so sorry ,you had to go threw that
😢
But you did
Great video thank you you covered all the feelings and taste problems I have been experiencing! Your Great!
1 month out after 6 rounds of R Chop pet scan in 1month fingers crossed. Stage 3 Lymphoma,daughter is oncology nurse and saved my life.Pcp said i was a hypochondriac.Diabetic who was prescribed rybelsus.Love your chanel,love that your a survivor,now i meditate,eat healthy and exercise.
My mom is suffering dry skin, bone pain, scalp tingling, hair loss. I am looking for lotions for her dry skin, preventing bone loss, and nail care.
My oncologist told me that there was a 60 - 80% chance of cancer re-occurring, but if I had chemo and radiation, the chances drop to 40 - 60%. That is 1 in 2 will have cancer again. I don't like those odds and am looking for alternate treatments.
Natural healing is superior! :)
Prayers for miracle healings for you dear. God is good and faithful
Natural healing is superior, really! :)
Do your homework, get a clue!
Me too. People are beating cancer with other remedies. Wishing you well!
I had the exhaustion and the tiredness but my side effect was itch constant itching I couldn't sleep at night and less I had ice packs just to sleep.when I was tired I rest but I got up and walked .And it helped me a lot ,milk products still gives me problems but I made it.And so will you!
I agree completely with you. I am getting chemo for myeloma and feel fatigued almost all the time. I noticed that everything tastes like a rusty nail! If I force myself to go do things I’m ok till I sit down. Then it’s hard toget back up!
I am in chemo indefinitely. Until there is progression, my body can’t tolerate it or a cure. Been in treatment now for 3 1/2 years. Technically I am doing well and beating the odds. Stage 4 nsclc. It’s the growing fatigue and each time I get a simple cold or even a cut, takes so long to recover. Getting covid changed it dramatically. Recovering from treatment and everything else takes a lot more time. I am trying to learn to live and adjust with this change. I didn’t loose my hair either. It is thinned quite a bit and I have chemo hair, even though I didn’t loose it, it now has a mind of its own. Living and learning. The sweats are crazy for me. I get sweats from the lump node involvement, menopause (got diagnosed right when diagnosed lol) and chemo sweat. I got the nerve damage from the cancer and yes I got more of it from treatment. It’s an adventure for sure, but I believe in living happily with wherever I am. Thanks
Thanks for your message I am to start chemo very soon & need to get info from people who actually have/had experience. God bless you.
OMG. I am so sorry. I can't even imagine going through chemo for 3.5 years. I only had 3 months and I never want to go through it again. You are a strong woman. Good luck.
Have you tried alternative? Brio Medical
@@erinschatzi4949 no. I am doing well with the treatment I have
Fasting and stop eating sugars the best way you can ❤
Stay positive!
Thank you for sharing Dr.God Bless❤️❤️❤️
What kind of chemo did you have Dr Amy. I had chemo for triple negative breast cancer 16 very aggressive chemo treatments. There were days i could barely make it to the bathro om. Chemo is different for everyone so people will experience there own way. People will experience chemo in there own way, dont feel guilty because your not running marathons. Take it one day at a time and before you know it it will be over. Keep the faith!!!
I feel very bad too😢 but some people can't believe me ,they think I'm pretending
Oh love, I was diagnosed with triple negative 4 yrs ago. Had the BIG RED chemo and I was so sick. Treatment every two weeks. There were times I felt like I'd broken bones from my neck to my feet. I shuffled like an old lady at age 48. BUT with loads of Prayer, strong faith, merciful God, positive attitude and incredibly supportive family and friends there is HOPE at the end of the tunnel. My hubby and I would go on a bfast date the morning of chemo as it was pretty much the only day I felt well enough before the next round. I put on my wig, did my makeup and dressed up 😊 Hang in there. I had to take 8 months off work (in community services) during chemo and RT - there was no way I could have worked through it. Praying for genuine, supportive people around you who understand how sick chemo can make you feel, but prayers its doing what its meant to. Blessings
I am so sorry that people think you are pretending 😔. There are so many different chemo regimens for different cancers. It really is upsetting when I hear people say we'll I was able to climb mount everest and jog 10 miles a day. It definitely depends on the type of chemo and how your body responds. Don't feel guilty because you don't feel good. When you are done with the chemo you will start to feel better. Best of luck to you. Many prayers 🙏 ❤️
I also had the red devil, the name fits. Very harsh chemo for me.
So very true. I feel bad enough about feeling bad without someone telling me just get moving, you're fine, fight thru fatigue pain and all. Different cancers, different chemo,
I think every oncologist is different. I have learn after my experience, then family members after, that a lot of oncologists follow the standard protocol for a cancer and get annoyed by too many questions. And then there’s the select group that actually looks at you as an individual and treats your case individually.
Most oncologists want you to just do what they say.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
100% agry with you!!!
Very rare. My husband's doctor who eventually became a family friend, went berserk when we asked if he'd lose his hair. "I'm trying to save his life (which he did), I don't care about his hair."
My oncologist is very busy my last appointment when he called me in I was about to start telling him what I need but he was talking to a technician to fix his computer. When he was done he said I am all yours now I was just able to ask for script for nausea I said where will I get that and when I look at the script it should be bought at the hospital only. They provided me at first treatment but now my body had changed too much. After third treatment my appetite is decreasing everything is bitter. I feel like puking but I need a little food so I can take meds the reason now am taking nausea tab but I am writing down when my last intake I don’t want to take more than 2 in one day. Going back to the oncologist after giving me the script he said you can go now I booked you for treatment. He is too busy or not interested to know what I am experiencing. His assistants are much better than him. Since I avail a government service I have no choice he is the one in charge. If only I have the money I might be able to find someone who is more compassionate.
I am undergoing chemo and just finished 6th treatment my oncologist requested for CT scan wanting the results before my 7th treatment and because I had an appointment with my surgeon a day after my 7th treatment. So last Tuesday the oncologist told me the tumour was not reduced but it did not grow. The kind of chemo meds they were giving me was not working she suggested a radiation. I told my surgeon outright she called the main oncologist and yes he did suggest for a radiation and change in chemo meds. My surgeon wanted me to undergo ERCP prior to radiation and chemo treatment which she requested to be done next week. I am praying I will survive the radiation because a friend nurse told me sometimes the skin where they are doing the laser will be affected I don’t know how because I still have to chat with the doctor about it. So on my 8th treatment I don’t know if they are still going to give me home chemo. Home chemo is disgusting because I cannot sleep for 3 days and the tingling sensation in my fingers when I touch cold water and when I am chewing food my jaws hurt first to second bites. But when this home chemo is disconnect I started to feel better.
Bless you for explaining these things!
Happy to help!

Thankyou ,you give very good advice
Thank you Dr Amy from Philippines

THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL DR AMY FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK IN GIVING US INFORMATION.
Hi I'm a cancer patient every thing you said is true.i need help to get alot energy most of the time I'm sleeping or resting..
I have just started chemo and am going tomorrow for the second session. not really fatigue or tiredness because am still doing the household chores cleaning washing and cooking. I only feel tired when I am just lying in bed doing nothing that makes me tired but if I am working around the house my back painful but tolerable. I already had chronic back pains that is my number complaints before I experienced abdominal pains on and off. during my first treatment they told me to take the tablet for nausea even if I am not sick taking it according to them is to prevent me from becoming sick so I just followed while at the hospital. when I am home I did not feel like vomiting though there was once then I took that tablet. but it is not severe maybe I have only taken that tablet for nausea I think 4 times since my first treatment. my chemo is every 14 days actually it would be 15th day tomorrow is my scheduled second treatment because they change the day from Monday to Tuesday. they want me to have blood test every Monday a day before my treatment. so tomorrow I will see first my Oncologist in the morning and in the afternoon is the treatment. I also cut my hair shorter already anticipating hair loss because of chemo and the nurse said usually it will start on the second week I do not know if second week after the first treatment or on the second treatment so I will know before the end of June if I will lose my hair. as they say, what is good for you may not be good for me though we both have cancer of the same type there are other factors to be considered before a doctor will start treatment what kind of treatment best for you base on your kind of cancer and the surrounding circumstances like my cancer based on ultrasound, CT scan, endoscopic ultrasound and biopsy then MRI it did not spread my liver, lungs and kidneys are cleared but the tumour is really big. goodluck to me tomorrow. I believe in prayers and I know the Holy Spirit is with me and I will survive.
I do not understand in this day and. Year of 2023, why there are no other options but chemo treatments for cancer.
Decades of research and new medical breakthroughs and therapies, medications, etc, there are no other options.
@@joannblock9928 my surgeon told me that she wanted the tumour to shrink and it’s only chemo. What bothers me is the dietitian telling me not to buy too many vegetables because what they want is for me to eat more protein. Before my diagnosis my weight was 74 kgs so I tried mini Keto I stopped eating rice noodles and bread. When having coffee I put thickened cream instead of full cream milk. I used butter in my cooking with lots of vegetables and bacon. I am not a bacon fan but since my manager told me it is keto friendly I follow what she said. She used to be very heavy also a breast cancer survivor but did not have chemo. She is a keto model for me. I lost 7 kgs when I was diagnosed of pancreatic cancer I weighed 66 kgs on my first appointment with my surgeon. What is stressing to me now is aside from trying to survive the chemo this dietitian wants to chat about what I am eating and telling me I can have dark chocolate or hot chocolate drink and she said I need to use a cup of milk to add to the choco powder instead of hot water. I tried to avoid sugar but it seems now they telling me it’s alright because they do not want me to lose weight. So now am eating lots of meat and carbo plus sweetness of course I will not lose weight. But every time I have chemo treatment I will go home with chemo and disconnect on the third day and an injection to avoid my blood count from going down but it is still high there’s no injection. Within 3 days with chemo meds I lost my appetite but I forced myself to eat anything because I do not want to take meds without food in my body. I will have treatment my 5th on Tuesday hopefully by September my surgeon will request for test to see the size of the tumour. I will only give myself until November having chemo if the surgeon will say it is not shrinking I think I try keto I do not care anymore if I will lose weight. They said if I lost weight they will stop chemo. Then I will resort to full keto. I am a vegetable eater and without vegetables in my food I feel I am not full. I do eat fish but at the moment I don’t like the smell.
God is so amazing. Prayers sent your way.❤
that is right during chemotherapy in the hospital I sow people they are drinking soda , chips a lot of process food providing by hospital I don’t get it,
LOVE THIS...... THANK YOU
Thank you 🙏🏽
My hair stopped growing under my arms and "down south", but this fine by me. Also on my arms. My eyelashes grew longer, my eyebrows grew thicker.
I have been battling relapse /refractory MCL for the last 6 years and have done both high dose chemotherapy ( R-Hyper CVAD MTX - ARA C ) for six cycles and have had targeted therapy with BTK Inhibiters in conjunction with a monoclonal antibody / drug conjugate in a clinical trial. I both cases I have had many terrible long and short term side effects including neuropathy in both my hands and feet. The neuropathy in my hands lasted about a year but my feet still have neuropathy that changes from time to time. It will go from pins and needles to numbness to warm and tingling to feeling like im walking in wet mud with wet socks on. lol. I can say that thru all of my treatments I never got sick once and vomited or really had much nausea at all.
I'm currently in remission again , and with the grace of God the father, my cancer is gone for good.
Trust in God and have faith in his son Jesus Christ, and you can overcome all things. If you are willing to put all sorts of bad chemicals and go thru chemotherapy, radiotherapy all the pain and suffering that go along with beating cancer? Then Why not give God a go and trust in his son Jesus christ, and before you say to yourself here we go again another brain washed delusional? I ask you to think is it really hard a thing I ask? too pray and ask God for help? when you are trying to live, to beat cancer to live for your family? God knows you better than you know yourself, I can say for myself as i am currently going thru chemotherapy and my faith in Jesus Christ has really given me strength in those dark times he lifted me up and strengthened me, come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest, dont give up, give God a go and his son jesus christ, prayer is truly amazing and i promise you can find strength and hope thru believing in Jesus christ and our father in heaven, dont give up on him, because he never has given up hope in you. Remember we all are born and all must die someday, as long as we die in christ believing in God that thru Jesus Christ we will be reunited again with our loved ones is what really matters, if we die in faith we have nothing to fear, for eternity in heaven awaits the faithful, therefore no matter the outcome, life or death, trust in him and you can too know like i know for yourself that god lives, jesus is the christ our saviour and redeemer and no matter what I am faced with I will always believe in him and trust in him, if my time is up then so be it but i know that i have felt of his spirit and love when all hope seemed lost, he was there to strengthen me and will strengthen you also, what are you waiting for give it a go what harm can come from it? Give faith a go i promise you wont regret it. Much love to all those fighting the good fight and those that we have lost along the way, we can all be reunited again and see those loved ones again thru the power of Jesus Christ all things are possible, I hope we all can find him and learn to rely on him he truly lives and rains supreme. Sorry for my grammar i failed at school but graduated in life. Peace out all may you all find hapiness and joy.
Ok thanks Dr.
Thank you Dr. Amy I'm getting chamo right now.
Double your water intake, place a container of water in the refrigerator add slices of orange, or lemon if pleasing. Green tea is recommended as well. Very Important to increase your daily water intake during the chemo treatment.
Thank you for the 💕 useful information. A few friends of mine have cancer and are on or have been on chemo.😊
Dr Amy, can you please help with overcoming exhaustion during chemo
Love this
If I had to do chemo and radiation answer would be absolutely not. I’m ready to go. God can take me. I will not suffer the way. People have told me they suffered.
You do not truly know what you will do until you are in that position
I can say - for myself and my experience that I tolerated chemo well. While I never want to go through this again, I would for my kids.
It’s not that bad, that was easy but just tiring.
But the alternative could be so much worse.....
Thank you for posting . I have been on chemo for 1 year now , fatigue , exhaustion etc is always there , but also nerve damage , tingling in hands and feet are one of the most common side effects . I also cut out sugar as much as possible as most foods have sugar in it .
Y ex
Yep neuropathy can be permanent
@@GilFavor-vu2lz , Thx , best wishes for U as well
Hope all is going well with your treatment. Sending love and prayers!🙏

Glad you found it helpful, survivor sister
Hello 🙋 I have been watching your videos 📹 Thank you for sharing such valuable information 🎉
I had 32 rounds of radiation and 12 chemotherapies. I was vomiting almost every single day. Doctors had to give me many different medicines but nothing really helped
Sounds like medical malpractice.
Dub… more like money.
Hi, I HAVE A CAT THAT HAS TERMINAL CANCER, I DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON UA-cam ABOUT CANCER, I USED PANACUR, COCONUT OIL, CANNABIS OIL, 2 TYPES OF MUSHROOMS POWDER, OMEGA 3, THE CATS TUMOR HAS REDUCED DOWN TO 20% OF IT'S ORIGINAL SIZE,APART FROM 1 BAD WEEK THE CAT IS FLYING, THE VET CAN'T BELIEVE THE CAT IS BEATING CANCER BY TAKING THESE THINGS. NO SWEET THINGS CANCER LOVES SWEET THINGS, LOOK UP Dr. Valter Longo BEFORE YOU DO CHEMOTHERAPY, LOOK UP DR BERG ON UA-cam ABOUT STARVING CANCER, KETO DIET, PANACUR, TURKEY TAIL MUSHROOMS, PROFFER THOMAS SEYFRIED BOSTON UNIVERSITY, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, RESEARCH IS THE KEY ON UA-cam OR OTHER WAYS. YOU CAN DO THE MEDICAL ROUTE THEN DO OTHER THINGS ALONE SIDE THAT. IT'S UP TO YOU HOW TO FIGHT CANCER, BUT FOR MY CAT 🐈 IT WAS ALL NATURAL THINGS I AM GIVING HER SHE IS LIKE A YOUNG CAT AGAIN. WHAT I WILL SAY TO YOU IS RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH, YOU GOT TO STUDY CANCER YOU HAVE GOT TO NOW AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ABOUT, I HOPE THIS IS OF SOME HELP TO YOU. BEST OF LUCK
I have to start this next week was concerned but this video x
9:12 I am so glad I watched your video. I am a 2005 breast cancer survivor. Had 2 surgeries and 4 rounds of BIG RED. I have had neuropathy in my keft hand since my treatments, after the iv went into my arm. They said my vein blew? But, I remember that the staff was very nonexistent during my treatments. I felt a horrible sensation in my left arm, and I believe it was their error that caused my issue. What do you think?
Wow now I'm kinda scared to go to chemo for lung cancer surgery 6.1.23 I have to always trust, thanks for all the informative information I'm getting from all of you. I pray God's mercy & blessings on each of u that share your experience.
It affected my hearing they changed chemo after 3 treatments to different one but yes had damage to my hearing
I got neuropathy bad it’s going away but after my 3rd round almost done I got it in my feet scary…anyone reading this please stay positive hang in there after chemo a couple of weeks you will feel so much better good luck and god bless
Taxol chemo turned my finger nails black, and neuropathy , lifting nails even though I iced my hands and feet. I keep my gel mittens in dry ice so they can stay colder.
@@tcitrus I never did the hand or feet cooling thing I hear it’s hit or miss glad you are healthy now take care
THANK YOU I am so very glad for you because this is the 1st positive testimony on chemo God bless you for this.
I put in another post, but try Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg. It’s an otc vitamin for neuropathy.
6 months after chemo and still dealing with neuropathy in my hands and feet. CIPN may or may not go away. I think my right hand is getting better...slowly. 😊
I had the opposite. I had big hunger and extreme energy. The prednisone they give made me hyper. I did have headaches and low platelets from it. Was 5 years ago but about to have a redo.
Thanks for your advice on chemo but I am a man . my daughter took me to the hospital because I couldn't breathe and we found out I have lung cancer and it's all over my body luckily it's not in my brain if I do nothing I will be dead in 6 months doctor said to us GOD BLESS U
Thanks
Thank you
R CHOP WHICH I RECEIVED EVERY THREE WEEKS FORE SIX MONTHS FORE LARGE B CELL DIFFUSE LYMPHOMA STOMACH THROAT AND ALL LYMPH NODES AFFECTED REALLY DAMAGED MY TEETH , IT DESTROYS YOUR ENAMEL ON YOUR TEETH, BUT THANK GOD BEEN IN REMISDION 18 years now and have been blessed with two beautiful grandchildren boy age 2 grandaughter age 7 , so thankful to the doctors and nurses ,that diagnosed my cancer and received first chemo after just two weeks on NHS after scans and biopsy lumbar puncture in spine saved my life , must admit my hair did fall out within four weeks of start of chemo , also eyebrows and all body hair fell out , but grew back as soon as chemo finished, thank you all the doctors and nurses that treated me
Your room with the blue light reminds me of my PET-CT scan 😉
I have an ileostomy and I start chemo next week. Staying hydrated is already hard and I worry about it when the chemo starts.
I also suffered anxiety feeling i was choking 2 death is a scarer thing u feel so alone!!
Just finish few sessions of chemo…no nausea or vomiting…and my doctor stop it because
of my throat. Now I’m taking a hormone therapy medicines…I’m ok as of now.
But I heard my doctor said,I maybe have chemo again…if tumor doesn’t shrink,
PS: I’d loss my head hair and brows,eyelashes and face hair…and it grows back after chemotherapy,
But I don’t like it making my eyes sensitive from sunlight.
From Philippines .Diagnos grade 2 ductal carcinoma .negative tumor but positive metastatic
I drink alot of water I do get tired at times but active too n I lost most of my hair due to taxol on for chemo ovarian cancer but still have little yet I just finished my 3rd treatment it is improving doing better than 1st pain is gone down alot n symptoms at the times are different the day after waiting for surgery now then finish chemos later pray for me but is looking positive
My husband stage four esphogel stomach cancer, and he threw up everytime he got dosed. For hours I thought he was vomiting up his tumor, which size of my fist. He Then spent hours in er after , they moved him gurney all doped up and benedryl to counter the effect. We went to naturopath finally!!…she said chemo takes out your protein, and said 80 grams a day protein shakes made of 20grams protein and fat yougurt, and no sugars, keto protein and high fat shakes, electrolytes, no sugar, he had two shakes a day less than 20 grams of carbs. Not only did he gain weight allowing the horrible chemo to begin again, but also avoided the yeast infections chemo gives to bladder and urinary tract infections. Sugarless also starved that cancer tumor until it was merely a flat cell. He died anyway about four months after no chemo he was supposed to have 6 sesssons only was able to do two. His body was ravaged by the chemo, he also lost his ability to to write, or even open his iPad while on chemo. After about three weeks chemo free and sugar free he regained his abilities to read and play games on iPad. I’m sorry if it’s me I’m not doing chemo, I will starve it doing a diet of no sugar and go keto or carnivore. Cancer can’t live wo glucose and that’s a fact doc., and feeding high protein also helps mitigates chemo brain and damage to other organs in the body. I think chemo is cruel like dialysis is to diabetes. Holistic is the way to go. But it is important how far the cancer has gone cuz there is a point of no return. Strictly my personal journey , experiences, personal, and observation. I’ve been free of diabetes and insulin two hrs now and I’ve been doing keto/carnivore. Now my sister who works in nephrology sees what’s she’s really doing……helping people die a slower death. She just recently decided to meet with diabetics in first stages, she saw first hand what my changes did to me, no more type two, no more insulin, and now an A1c at4.9 and holding.!!! My weight is now normal as are all my numbers…..unlike the last 20yrs . and can’t believe she was trained at Yale and what she thought was so…..ISNT!!. Chemo is a last resort, you are burning up good with bad and already impaired immune system, not addressing the cause of your cancer, but dealing only with the symptoms….thats not doctoring. Again just my opinion.
I had bad nausea, it felt like pregnancy without the joy lol. Fatigue wasn't too bad for me but I am still having dizzy spells and mild neuropathy.
Pregnancy without the joy haha :P
B complex and B 6 has helped me avoid neuropathy during chemo
That's huge!
I am on B but it didn't prevent it for me, however maybe it's helped it from getting worse. My problem is I got neuropathy on one leg after surgery, worse than the chemo. Walking is starting to help it improve though.
Especially B6!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Please give some advice to men I am a 4 stage adenocarcinoma patient undergoing HERS2 chemo doing well thanks
Hi, thank you for this vid. I’m almost 2 weeks out from hysterectomy & 2 days ago my Dr called & said she suggests both chemo & radiation. My follow up is still 2 weeks ahead. So right now my head is all over the place. I know it’s superficial but my hair is down to my bum & of course that’s where my thoughts went, I’m nearly 60 so there’s old programming in there. Guess I feel pretty lost right now, glad I found this vid, will check out more.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you are here with me. I don’t think being worried about losing your hair is vain. It’s your identity and who you are ♥️ You are allowed to mourn that
You're worried about your hair?
When I was 1st diagnosed multiple people told me endometrial cancer was usually a hysterectomy & done so when I received the call that it wasn’t over, I began researching what would happen during chemo & radiation. Learning the chemo would kill both cancerous & healthy cells & besides all the other side effects, hair loss happens in 65% of patients. Before watching this video I had watched this woman’s journey & watched her brush out handfuls of hair and yes that messed with my head. Yes I know it will grow back & the other side effects will go away too. I’m not a beautiful woman & the thought of me hairless was a bit overwhelming. I will survive all of this, just had an emotional fear reaction…probably not the last. 😆
@@nicilovelady855 Hello, how are you doing now? Your story sounds pretty similar to my mums, she’s 59 and just had a hysterectomy yesterday and is expecting to start Chemo soon, Hope you are feeling better x
@@nicilovelady855 hi there. it would be great if could continue to share your journey as your story resembles some one close to me.
Hi Amy I just found your channel I had to have a hysterectomy because of cancer, so now the team wants me to do 6 rounds of chemotherapy and had a reaction the fist 25 minutes so we stopped it we will try again on the 27th of December. I can't not loose energy or I will just die going to listen to my body first .
I had surgery/3 chemo treatments/30 radiation treatments/3 more chemo treatments for stage 3 uterine cancer. I never had any nausea. I did have neuropathy in my feet. Vitamin B-6 and alpha lipoic acid helped tremendously. I had my last chemo in June of 2020. I am 63 years old. I feel great. I am Whole Food Plant Based. I drink big raw green smoothies every day. All the best to you. You will do well!
Metavivor here, and I feel one big thing I dealt with was what I liked to call “post chemo depression” where I would mentally feel extremely depressed for around a day 2 to 3 three days after receiving the drip…then the next day it would magically go away. I’ve never asked any of the doctors on my team about it, I would just chalk it up to my body going through a withdrawal from the dose. What do you think? To all the survivors out there and recently diagnosed I just want to say wake up every morning and get out of bed no matter how bad you feel, simple as that…👊🏼💪🏼🤝🏼
I can speak to that. Had 12 rounds of IV chemo (Taxol) for Stg 4 metastatic breast cancer. They premedicated me with 3 drugs prior to giving the chemo: Solumedrol (a steroid), Benadryl (antihistamine) and Zofran. I felt drowsy just after they gave it and actually napped the whole time every week during the chemo infusion (about 45 minutes--it was quick). For a few days after the chemo, I felt great! Had great mood, was actually happy and felt good. Then it would evaporate suddenly on about day 3 or 4. I believe it's the steroid that caused the depression in mood. Ask your oncologist if you were given a steroid prior to your IV chemo. They won't tell you unless you ask. You have to be proactive in your care to understand each and every step of your care. Good luck!
I’m learning that is partially from the trauma of going through the treatments. When people asked me how I was doing, I’d respond “I show up for my torture treatments like a good little patient.” And some chemo drugs have heavy metals in them. Namely Latin I’m. I had my metals tested and my body is saturated in platinum. This has caused my brain to shrink. And I’m sensitive to EMFs, Wi-Fi, etc. My brain feels burdened. I have huge memory issues. I cannot multi task anymore or read. Chemotherapy steals your soul.
I was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in early May of 2022. I had the Whipple surgery . In July of 2022 I started chemotherapy. The chemo was a pill called Capecitabine. In August 2022 it showed that my cancer was already spreading to my lymph nodes. A second medication was added. It is called Gemstar. I got to keep my hair but I lost 90 pounds while doing the chemotherapy. I had radiation therapy after chemo and I am still trying to recover. Now I go in every 4-6 weeks for blood work and every 3 months for scans. I am hoping that the cancer will stay away but only time will tell.
True make your boby very tired 😫 I'm have 6 times liquid chemo are ready
Starting mine today
GREAT TIPS. T U.
Thanks for your advice it’s been two years I take chemo please 🙏
Im starting my chemo pill capecitabine. I have so much fear and anxiety, scared .
TY
Doctor Amy how long does it take for you're immune system to get strong after Chemo please
In my 3rd year of chemo. No nausea. No weight change. Can you talk about how it affects the brain?
Hi Dr. Amy - my mother is about to begin chemo (diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3A). You mentioned in your video a link to have a 1:1 consult with you but I cannot find it. Could you share it?
You can book in at bit.ly/cancerfighterformula and hit the apply button
Please amend the icing to exclude Oxaliplatinum. Cold is contraindicated with this drug due to cold sensitivity.
Thank you❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome
My mom is very sick she's in hospital, her doctor ask to have chemotherapy. She's 80 years old, do you think guys she can take it? Any help please 🙏 Thanks
Hello Doctor,
My mother (64 YO) has T2N1M0 (2cm lump in lymph node and 2cm right breast) Her2+ Breast Cancer.
Please guide me about her treatment regimen
Is there a grant or scholarship that can help pay for the cancer freedom program if you can’t afford it?
I stopped last two treatments. Dr. said if I don't I won't be able to walk. Can barely walk now. Dr. had catscan with contrast done. Showed no cancer. No way to go for final exam. Have to just live day to day. No car now. Have to walk ten blocks to get food. Life sucks. I'm 66.
Thank you for this useful information I've got triple negative and had 14 chemos so far, I've got another two but feel my body has had enough, 😮i have neuropathy now 😢and finding it hard to walk. Could i refuse the last two Chemos? And just have the lumpectomy as also got radiation therapy to go .many thanks Nicole ❤
FYI: here’s a study that may help some, from the NIH. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10054244/
Yes you can refuse your last 2 treatments. I did and they had to respect what I chose for myself. The chemo was killing me, not my cancer, I was stage 4 ovarian and I fought it with alternative approaches also which was thru diet, colonics, herb supplements etc. Plus I removed myself from stress completely and went to live in the countryside. It was either that or probably I wasn’t going to make it out of there alive and I knew it in my heart.
Underwent 2nd Chemo, notice both my hand and leg turned blue black.. Is it normal... 8 chemo I have to go thru. Got stage 3 colon cancer.. Pls advise..
Better off to avoid chemo completely. I was diagnosed with cancer mid-October last year and am treating myself holistically without surgery, chemo or radiation. It involves changing your diet and lifestyle and saying no to drugs, but the rewards are so worth it with zero side-effects.
My neighbor son is 39 with lymphoma and took his first chemo 4 days ago and now in the ICU
@@LaidBackLora According to my research, chemo has a 3% success rate. Definitely not worth the risk. Following a few people on UA-cam who were diagnosed with either primary or secondary cancer around 2 years ago. They all did everything the doctors told them and now they're all dying with months to live and/or the cancer has returned in another part of the body.
Dr Amy, it is obvious, never had cancer or chemo-both a disaster to live with and as far as I am concerned, if the cancer doesn't kill you-chemo will. Very LOW success rate. Doctors push it as hope but there is one thing that is sure-it is a great money maker.

My side effect from chemo from oral cancer, almost no saliva, no taste buds, and the biggest problem is rotting teeth. And rotting fast after 5 years

Does this apply to immunotherapy as well? My daughter was diagnosed with immunotherapy (keytruda, yervoy, opdivo) induced colitis. Being treated for metastatic acral lentiginous melanoma. It was horrible and only one of the side effects! Just an fyi.
My 1 grandmother had cancer! 1 breast removed & dug down her arm for it! Then "cobalt" late 60s! After that! Her arm couldn't be in sunlight! Or it would swell way up & become glassy red! & very painful! Even beyond 20 yrs later!.
I dont know why I have so much nausea! Usually, when I first wake up I have to take a Zofran. I have experienced some vomiting! A lot of times I am just going thru the house gagging! I hate it.😢
Hi I am in uk. I have been very recently diagnosed with bladder cancer. The Specialist hasnt decided which way we go with this. I have had CT scans. A Biopsy which was quite horrendous which I hadnt expected but the surgeon was very pleased with as he was able to "get alot out and debaulk the tumour" yes those are the words he used. Look it up.
So I face a couple of choices, but both probably will mean chemotherapy. Did your video help me. No it didn't I am quite confused now. Im with cancer team at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. I realise we put our bodies in the hands of these highly skilled doctors hoping they can help us.
I came on here and found you a US doctor offering your services which I find rather strange. Why cant you tell people online. It was like an elaborate ad.
Are you a fully qualified doctor ?? How do I know ?
Is this info for men also
Allergic reaction in my brother yet he was convinced to try again but he didn’t make it
