    Hi beautiful!!❤ I'm so glad your video appeared on my algorithm! I'm 56, 15 years out from breast cancer stage 3 IDC & ILC & axillary node invasion. I did the same chemo you are getting. I had a lumpectomy & did 35 radiation treatments after chemo. I was on hormone therapy for three years, but stopped due to bone issues. I also was HER2+, so did a year of Herceptin, also. So, be encouraged, dear love, you are amazing & I'm so proud of you!! I'm here if you need ANYTHING!! Much love & {{hugs}} 🎄 ~Kelli

    Bri,
    I personally think it's healthy to have a sad, frustrating, emotional day. We are human, we have feelings, and I'd be more worried if you weren't having one of those days.
    Sending big hugs. I hope you and the family have a blessed Christmas. The finish line is in sight. Praying for you daily. 😊 ❤

    Bri- I went through Taxol and Carboplatin chemo back in 2009. We weren’t told about ice packs back then so I have neuropathy in my feet and fingers. Thankful to be alive.

    Ohhh honey. These days will come and its okay to not be okay. Be gentle with yourself, give yourself some grace and pace yourself . Always listen to your body and be patient with yourself. You are doing amazing and there’s so much being done to your body, it’s amazing enough how you get up esch day and are able to physically carry on. But you show up and continue to do it. You are amazing and are a fighter. These moments don’t make you any less strong. You are not a robot. You are a human being and you are doing incredible. Love you.
    Keep kicking arse! You’ve got this.

    Hi Bri, I've just started watching your videos and I can relate so much to you. This video hit me hard when I saw you crying I wanted to cry too. I found out I had BC in November last year and went through Chemo, I was pretty fortunate but feel like everything is catching up with me now, I had my lumpectomy and am having preventative chemo and radiation right now. I'm such a positive person and always smiling, I have all the faith in the world in the medicines we take and my body 😊 keep your chin up and embrace every moment that's saving your life, all the best from me in Australia 😊

    A New Englander tip:
    When you come home from driving in your car cool it off with the AC yea, yea sounds crazy but- when it's cold out and we've warmed the inside of our car and outside is cold the warmth of your window will ice when it meets the cold. Cooling the inside of your car off will stop the windows from icing up. 😂 my dad taught me this moons ago. It truly works.

    I finished 16 weeks of chemo, same as yours, & i did it!!! I freakin' did it!! I thought i was going to die when i started. I didn't know how in the world i was going to make it!

    I'm appreciative when good folks like you. Are kind enough to share your most intimate observations. There are so many different kinds of breast cancer. Different Cemo treatments etc. The side effects are so different for all of us. Your Oncologist won't tell you nor your hospital advocate nor the Chemo nurses. Personal blogs like this are, our best resource for info. . For example I'm a year out and still noticing side effects. Prone to infections, brittle nails, mouth sores blurry vision. So yeah it happens. Your not alone! & Yes it's ok to cry. I sure do. But hey have a Merry X-mas & lets have a happier New Year!! All!

However we are allowed To have these moments and we must remind ourselves that we have a toxic chemical roomming through our body. So of course our normal energy levels are just out the door no matter how hard we try to find them which is what makes us. I think more frustrated... sending you so many hugs.

      Chemo sucks but you will get through it, and life is so special as a survivor. Try to only count each treatment at a time, I found if I kept looking toward the end , like, oh God, 1 down, and 7 more to go was horrible. I felt like I was drowning, then a fellow chemo patient to just count 1 down, another in 2 weeks. This was less depressing. We are all here for you. Just know you are strong and fierce ! Hugs

And pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be studying plants, taking extracts of them, speaking from experience RSO is really helping my mom and a friend with pancreatic cancer and excessive pain including fatigue, this is a natural remedies and it's very effective, helps you to sleep well and kill's the cancer completely...

I'm an emigrant, I've lived in 3 countries of the world but never met with anything like this just at the front counter of doctor's office they charge so called deductive! What? a price to pay just to get on? I shake when doctor's start to push diagnosis test, procedures and many times I even refuse, even with a good health insurance you're not safe with the exploitation. Many times I'm in awe how many people do not stand up to this, this is a true reason to Stand up and protest

    • @oscarneto9930

      would recommend using RSO (cannabis oil) to cure your cancer naturally with lesser side effects. The earliest study examines the anti-cancer potential of cannabis was related to lung cancer. Carried out in 1974 at the university of Virginia, the research shows that THC and CBD, as well as the THC analog delta-8-THC (the primary form is delta-9), inhabited tumor growth and reduces primary tumor size in mizes (Muson et al) specially , THC was associated with dose- dependent, reduction of tumor growth, where as delta-8-THC and CBD reduced primary tumor size. All three cannabinoids increase the average survival time. I was introduced to doctor ReyHeals who recommended some drugs Thank God I'm back alive.

    Your Vlog just popped up for me. I just got diagnosed with IDC; biopsy, blood work, MRI. I try so hard to be stoic, before and now more than ever but it's hard some days, the darkness creeps in.
    Your strength and courage are inspiring. Everyone is allowed to breakdown, if we don't then we end up pushing it down and it causes more problems. I know things are going to get very bad for me; all I can control is me and my breath. Thank you for your video, I'm going watch your other videos. Keep moving forward, even if forward is an inch at a time while crawling. You're amazing.

      Even on your darkest of days, try to remember the beautiful light that is inside you. Let it shine even if it is a bit dimmed some days. A great way to “clear the darkness” (as I say) is to do one little thing that you KNOW makes you smile or be happy…turn on your favorite song, wear your favorite perfume or clothing, call your favorite person, shop at your favorite store, whatever your “favorite” thing is - do that. Bc it will help to lift your spirits. Raise your vibration and brighten your inner light and help to take some of that darkness away 😊💕
      I am here for you during your journey. If you need any advice or tips or just want to vent away - I’m here! You’re going to do great. I believe in you 100%. You’re stronger than you realize too. Just try to focus on today. One day at a time. That’s all we have anyway! 🙏🏻😊 💕

    Hey Bri! First and foremost, I want to tell you that you are AMAZING! You have no idea what it meant for me to find your channel. I am also from New Jersey, but I moved to Mexico City to study medicine. I was just recently diagnosed this Thanksgiving with Stage 3A IDC, estrogen + progesterone positive, her2-. I am just about to do my second round of chemo of the AC combo this upcoming Friday…. I have been having the hardest time trying to mentally and emotionally navigate this journey… I am only 32 years old and I feel like my whole life is just starting… when I tell you that your videos hit so close to home for me and make me cry with you, believe that someone in Mexico is crying with you in every one of your videos.
    WE NEED TO FIGHT. WE HAVE SO MUCH LIFE TO LIVE. WE CAN DO THIS.
    PS. I still haven’t lost my hair yet but I know it’s coming soon…
    THANK YOU FOR THIS CHANNEL, YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE IMPACT YOU HAVE 😢❤

      Hi!!! Thank you so much for your sweet words and loving support. I’m glad that my videos are helping to guide you through your journey as well (although I wish neither of us had cancer, of course!). We are way too young for this! I’m so proud of you for being so strong already and having gone through 2-3 AC chemo rounds. How are you feeling so far on that? I hope that you are doing good and feeling pretty well overall on it.
      I’m here for you if you ever need any tips, advice or just want to vent about chemo/cancer/life etc. 🩷
      I’m praying for you, too 🙏🏻😊💕 We’ve got this. We WILL win this battle and live long happy HEALTHY lives!
      I hope you’re having a good day today. Remember to just take things one day at a time…bc at the end of this journey you will look back & see how strong you were, how many days & weeks you got through and be so PROUD of yourself & your body.
      All my love 😊🩷
      - Bri

    I got triple neg BC with 3-4 glands with it too. I just did my 3rd Taxol. I am not having what some of you mentioned with the toes and fingers. I am taking gabapentin but I don't know if that effects it. So far I can't complain about anything from the Taxol.
    God bless all you ladies!

    Get some rest, eat well and keep pushing forward. One day at a time- this will be behind you soon. P.S. I'm afraid of the food but you need to eat to help your blood counts. I ate a lot of homemade chicken stir fry. Get organic chicken, red pepper, broccoli and carrots- add some garlic. Keep a list. Hang in there. We all care :)

    Hey Breeze - I am so proud of you as a strong, and brave woman. You are handling your cancer like no one I have ever known. I am so inspired listening to your experiences each week. Your outlook on life's trials keep ME going! 100%. You had to have a bad day sooner or later, which only makes you more likeable to those listening who do not know you as well as I do because they get to see the lovely person inside too. Hang in there, my lovely niece. I cannot wait to hug you next week during our visit for Christmas. Among your many great attributes, you also give great hugs! Tonight I will count my blessings and know I am thankful for the lessons I learn from you after each & every video. You always have and always will be beautiful Breezy - I love you. 💜😘

    Hi, I am Penny and I was watching your video and I totally totally agree about what you said about our food. This country allows things in their food that other countries don’t you’re right it’s very hard to eat clean. Hope you do well I’m a cancer patient too I I hope you do well 20:42

      It's not hard to eat clean, IT'S EXPENSIVE. I treated my breast cancer holistically and had to completely change my diet. The first two months were the hardest, but after that, my body adjusted. However, the organic food prices are ridiculous!

    Bri, you go ahead and do you. Rant, rave, cry, laugh, whatever you need to do in the moment. You do it. You will get through this. It's going to get rough and you are going to get weaker but you can do this. I am about 2 months ahead of you in treatment. Stage 3C TNBC (Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.) One thing that helped me with leg pain, neuropathy, mental and emotional stress, is that I walked 1 mile every single day. By the end of Chemo, I couldn't make it 300 ft. without having to stop, huffing and puffing (the fatigue is staggering at the end of chemo) but with the exception of 3 days, I made that walk. Take the time for yourself. Clear your mind. If you would ever like to chat... reach out. Here for you friend.

      I had Triple Negative Breast Cancer 10 1/2 years ago. It helped me to drink tons of water before, during, and after chemo. It helps flush out the toxins.

    @Kristen10-22 Před 7 měsíci

    I came across this video & had to tell you..
    My goodness all your points are validated.
    I had to pause at 17:34.
    You are saying after chemo you’re going to have to “chop”..
    I had b ca in 2012. I was 36yo. It was I think rated a 1… it was in my duct.
    My oncologist had me go for one radiation Tx.
    Before that she learned my ca was estrogen based.
    Having cancer on both sides she sent my labs to b genetically tested.
    I carry BRCA 2.
    After first radiation Tx met her in her office.
    Halt Tx and have my chest cut up & insides taken out.
    Like u I get to the point..
    Gut me like a fish & ooh I get boobs finally.
    “Oh but look how good your stomach is now.”
    I want my belly button!!!
    These boobs now almost 11yrs later I want them out of me.
    I want my old body back.
    I’m beyond grateful the docs saved my life literally. Had a pe a wk after my 18hr surgery cause I insisted your doing it all at once.
    They don’t do it anymore because I was the guinea pig & threw a clot.
    I know exactly where you are & I am so sorry.
    It sucks & it’s ok to have a poop day! I know the guilt too. The surgery is hard af. I got through it & you will too!
    My one wish before having the surgery would have been the docs asking how my mental health was/is.
    I suffer depression & cptsd.
    There is a me before the surgery & there is a me after. The me after is still stuck in the mall listening to my doc tell me I had cancer. The me after is stuck afraid to move for fear I’ll get sick again.
    Married 23yrs & a 19yo son.
    The things some say is just garbage & after a while I’d tell them exactly what was on my mind.
    Girl u are stronger than me!
    And as far as pink & being a “survivor” I can’t stand either. lol
    It’s not all rainbows, pink & butterflies.
    U got this!
    I’m so sorry you hurt.
    The exhaustion u must feel is overwhelming.
    I’m here if u need me.
    God Bless & Merry Christmas. I hope u had a nice day.

    Talk to your oncologist about using warm compresses on your eyes. Hope you know it is ok to have those days when you just lose control and let it all out. Very difficult to have young child while you are going through cancer treatment. Hard enough to get through it by yourself not caring for another human to young to understand. Not every Christmas has to be festive and magical that would be unrealistic. Have a peaceful Christmas! Forgive yourself, love yourself.

      That’s a good idea about the warm compress for my eyes. Thank you for suggesting that! I appreciate it so much. You’re absolutely right, raising a toddler or a lot of work in itself let alone doing it while being on chemo & battling cancer. What a journey this is, for sure!! Thank you for your words of encouragement. It helped to lift my spirits up! I wish you a very Merry Christmas as well. You’re right, it doesn’t have to be as festive as previous ones. And it can still be special, in my own way this year. 😊🙏🏻💕🎄
