- What should you take to your Chemo Session? I will be having my 2nd Chemo session tomorrow and wanted to share with you what I take to treatment.
I was diagnosed with High Grade Serous Carcinoma of the uterus, a very aggressive cancer with a high rate of recurrence . After a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy, I am undergoing adjuvant therapy which will consist of Chemo and radiation. Thank you to everyone for all the warm wishes. Thanks for following my Cancer Journey.
Karen, I cannot thank you enough for posting these videos of your treatments. My mom has serous carcinoma also and I came to CZcams to find out how to prepare to help her as she went through chemo. Watching your videos helped give me an idea of what to expect without totally freaking me out. Your sweet spirit, optimism and positive outlook absolutely shines. May you be blessed with a return to health and with a clear sense of love surrounding you. Thank you again!
Jessie thank you so much! I know when I was first diagnosed I did not know what to expect and I turned to CZcams to find others going through the same thing. Since I am an artist and already routinely make videos of my paintings it seemed natural for me to do these on my cancer journey. I hope that your Mom does well and as I have said it is all about attitude and also knowing what to expect! I really appreciate your comments! It makes the effort of making the videos worthwhile! Thank you and good luck!
You are so organized and prepared. Thank you for the tips. Sending you hugs and positive energy!
Thanks Gwyn !😘🎨
God bless you and good luck with round 2! Sending positive vibes and hugs!
Thanks Trish!😘

Thanks so much Mona😘🎨
Karen, thanks for the info you shared and hope you are doing well lately. This is really helpful for my husband’s coming this June. He diagnosed stage 4 cancer. I will prepare all your mentioned. Take care and wish you healthy forever.
My sincere best wishes for you and your husband. Stay strong and positive. You can do this!

Thank you for posting your videos. I too have type 2, mine is the clear cell kind of endometrial cancer and am doing the same treatment. Next week will be my 3rd chemo. It helps me a lot to see someone's similar journey. Thank you for being courageous in sharing. We will beat this!
Thank you so very much Anne-Marie ! I too have found that watching others’ journeys have helped me tremendously! I felt that I should pay it forward. We will fight and win this battle! Best wishes for your complete recovery! Take care and keep in touch!
Hi Ladies, I also have endometrial Cancer Type 2C grade 3. Doing both chemo & radiation. Just completed my first Chemo July 5th 2024. Thank you for all your advise. I agree it’s helped me knowing you two are on similar journey. We got this!!!! Its small part of our lives we have to deal with. Bigger and better things await us.❤
I need to see your videos. I will be starting the same treatment Friday. I been worried but watching your videos help me. I was diagnosed in Oct with Ovarian Cancer. I had surgery in Nov and it's time for chemotherapy. I hope all is well. Thanks you
Lakeisha Parson you got this! I am so glad that my videos have helped! Stay strong and positive! You will beat this!
I am right there with you lady, I had endometrial cancer and will be beginning treatment in a few days. Praying for your journey to be successful xoxo
LOVE YOUR BEANIE!!!! I have the same one! Lol I didnt bother with a chemo bag once I saw they could provide everything I needed. But glad you are taking care of your needs. Remember, we are all different! Good luck tomorrow!
Thanks so much Kiki ! This is my favorite beanie! I am a lot less worried about this one since I know what will happen! Thanks for watching!😘💪
Wellness to you and thank you!
Thanks you and same to you!
I wish you all the best that you draw More wonderful Pictures
Thanks for this video. I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer but hopefully they caught it relatively early. One round of chemo and radiotherapy, followed by surgery (which will be the hardest part), I am anticipating. Cheers.
Wishing you the best Anthony! Stay strong and positive and you can beat this!!
❤️get well soon ❤️
Thank you so much!
Just stumbled upon your post and am so grateful. I am starting this treatment Monday for Nasopharyngeal cancer. xoxo Heading to TJ MaXX to stock up on all you've suggested! xoxo
Good luck! Stay strong and positive!!
@@ARTbyKDR thank you beautiful lady!
Karen, been thinking about you!!! Hope you get this message and can let me know how you are. Prayers Sister! 🙏💖
Kiki Dodson 4C4L thank you so much for reaching out! I have finished my chemo and radiation and am currently “no evidence of disease “ so now will be monitored closely for recurrence. Am still recovering from treatments but am on the road to recovery!
Karen Rankin oh Karen! This is such wonderful news! My aunt has just been diagnosed with uterine serous carcinoma. She is a week post op from her hysterectomy but unfortunately they had to leave cancer in her pelvic and aortic lymph nodes. She must have chemo and radiation. Your story is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing it with the world!💗
@@nikkipizzino Please know that your aunt Can get through this!!! I am grateful that my story has provided an inspiration! The more knowledge you can get the better. One has to be an advocate for themselves and learn as much as possible about the treatments in order to make an informed decision. I know that it helps to know that others have gone through it and not only survived but thrived! My heart goes out to you and your family and I will keep your aunt in my prayers!
Karen Rankin Thank you so much for your advice, as well as your thoughts and prayers for my aunt💗💗💗
I realized not to take unisom sleep aid at night. After chemo it will make medicines over the counter react strong. I was so doped up 24 hours
I was to doped up on benadryl to do anything
How are you doing now Karen madam ? Just came across your video as I was searching for experiences before my better half commences her chemo in the coming week.
I am doing very well and have been NED (No Evidence of Disease) for almost 2 years. Good luck on your journey through this. You will get through it! Stay strong and positive!
Karen your videos are inspiring me I am a forth time cancer survivor ovarian cancer I'm on carbo taxol again it's very hard on my legs shooting painful legs breathlessness hot and cold flushes excess urination... Constipated stoma... Your art is beautiful artwork I cannot put into words. I also do art in watercolour I'm wanting to open an etsy shop very much. My work is small. How are you doing? 🙌♥️
Deborah, Thank you so much for watching my videos. It is so rewarding to know that they have inspired you! too, had a hard time with the carbo-Taxol regime but luckily the shooting painful legs side effects were short lived. One year after diagnosis I continue to do well and even have some hair back. Thanks so much for your kind words regarding my art. I am so thankful that I am back to painting again as I think it is a great therapy. I wish you well on your continued journey and encourage you to pursue your art and dreams. Stay in touch. Karen
@@ARTbyKDR thank you Karen will keep intouch I'm wishing you a long and happy productive artistic blessed life for you deserve it love and hugs xx
How do you sleep at night? I going through chemo just had first treatment. 6 days after not good bones hurt bad most of the time.
The doctor suggested I take Claritin to help with side effects. I can only take Tylenol or pain. It does get better. Stay strong and positive! Good luck with your treatment!

RibeDaniel I had to put my art on hold to focus on my health but don’t worry I will be back painting again soon! Thanks for watching!
