This channel is about the life of me and my 3 children. With our Lord leading the way, we support each other, as we fight our battles and celebrate the our victory, in a difficult world where me, a single mother who is in active treatment for not only 1, but 2 terminal (Metastatic, Stage 4) cancers. I make videos about my cancer journey, personal trials, and some fun videos, and videos with my kids. Something to do to take my mind off of the cancer.
To learn more about my cancer history, please continue to read the following...
I was originally diagnosed back in 2010, with stage 3b ER/PR positive, HER2 neg Breast cancer in my left breast. After about 2 1/2 of active treatment, I went back to full time work, with scans and dr visits every 3 months. From this time, till 2015, I was closely watched by my treatment team, and I had no KNOWN, sign of Cancer.
However, by the middle of 2015, my blood levels stopped getting better, & started to go in the other direction. I also kept getting sick, to the point were it was greatly effecting my ability to work. So in October 2015, my boss put me on medical leave. I then got sicker, I kept getting misdiagnosed till Jan 2016.
In Feb 2016, I was diagnosed with a rare terminal melanoma. with no skin involvement. After chemo failed, a combo immunotherapy treatment was approved. I had infusions every other week, which kept me stable till Feb 2018. My normal 3 month scan showed that I had 2 new small nodules in my lungs. This, they believed, was my Melanoma starting to grow again. But they decided to continue with treatment, and repeat scan in 3 months. However, a week after my Feb 2018 scan, my daughter noticed a new lump on my chest wall. It kept getting bigger. So a scan was ordered for the last week of March. This scan discovered a new chest wall tumor, plus a few other tumors. After a biopsy, they diagnosed me with a new, (possibly mutated) form of Breast Cancer. This time I was diagnosed with Metastatic (terminal) Triple Negative Breast cancer. Although my doctor insists that it is a totally different Breast Cancer from the first breast cancer, that was ER/PR pos, HER2 Neg. Because this one was ER/PR neg, and HER2 neg, aka Triple Negative.
From that point on, I have been on a number of different oral, and IV chemo's and I even had 2 different types of Radiotherapy for pain on that tumor, and some under my arm, for pain, in Nov 2018. Thank God this did shrink the tumors a bit. However, the chest wall tumor got really infected, and is now a painful, messy stinky ulcerating cancer wound, with a bunch of small tumors surrounding it. Many of these chemo's did slow down the growth of my cancer for a bit. But it always started to grow again. And I now have lots of permanent side effects from them. I just stopped Doxil ( Doxorubicin Liposomal) or "The Red Devil", three weeks ago, do to the possible new tumors. Thank God, that chemo didn't cause hair loss though. (Gotta take joy in the positives, no matter how small. Right?) Anyway, about a month ago, I noticed more tumor growth on my chest wall, and in my right arm nodes. So after a ct-scan confirmed this to be more cancerous growths, I was taken off this chemo, and now waiting to hear if I got into another clinical study, for Stage 4 triple negative, but Androgen positive. If not, I will start another chemo. This Dr appt will be this week. In the meantime, I have been trying to get my ulcerating cancer wound, (my formerly radiated chest wall tumor), to heal, and praying that God helps me see just what I need to be doing, as far as treatment goes.
I know that this was a quick explanation of my cancer story thus far. If you would like a more detailed description, I have made 2 videos about my story. Please feel free to watch them. I am also ok with answering any questions. So feel free to ask.

What a lovely and thoughtful gift. God bless your subscriber, doing God's work.
God bless the angel that sent you supplies! ❤️
Sara Schutz- I noticed that you are also subscribed to Peter Frey. Do you also follow his daily vlogs at The Frey Life? I love Peter and Mary, and Oliver too, of course. They both bring me such hope and joy each day. I thank God for the new CF med, Trikafta. It is changing the lives of so many people. Praying for the research to find a good treatment for that last 10 percent. It will happen. In God's perfect timing.
Tammy Grosso - I have been following The Frey Life for about two years now! I found them searching for manual Chest PT for my son who was diagnosed with bronchiectasis. His lung doctor is trying drug treatments somewhat similar to a CF patient and some of his drug suggestions get denied from our insurance since my son doesn't have CF diagnosis.
Peter's daily vlogs have been wonderful since I am home on medical leave due to complications with my cancer surgery in September plus another BIGGER surgery in January. There have been MANY days already that his sermons have hit home! ❤️
What a beautiful person to send you this..🙏🏽💕🌸😘
The silver sheets go on the wound the silver is good at healing wounds. It's the latest in wound care. The antimicrobial is what kills the germs and smell. Hope you can get some more of that. It's what wound care gave my hubby when he got a bad cut on his leg that wouldn't heal.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving
The world needs more people like the subscriber that sent this. How thoughtful! Its cool that they got a shout out like this too.
I absolutely agree!!!
I want to send something!
Calcium alginate should be cut to the size of the wound and placed dry over the wound after cleansing the wound properly. What it does? It absorbs all the moisture and drainage, and at the same time promotes healing by eliminating bacteria. I'm glad you had good results with it. Anyone can order online via medical websites, eBay, Amazon, etc. It's the giving season people! Happy thanksgiving!
Thank you so much!!!!
Fun vid, Tammy! Thx for sharing! I’ve wondered since seeing your first post so I want to ask about the humming song at the beginning of your videos. What is that? It’s a very nice and soothing tune. Can you shed any light on that? Thank you again for your posts and lots of love from FL! ❤️
