- Breast Cancer Vlog Update | Cancer Sucks | How to Stay Positive | Invasive Ductal Carcinoma & DCIS
Hi Friends! I hope this video (and all of my videos) help you in some way on your journey. I truly appreciate all of your comments and reading your breast cancer survivor stories, experiences and tips. I am so grateful for YOU!
If you are sharing my CZcams videos - THANK YOU!! My goal is to spread awareness and help others through my journey as much as I can. Cancer is silent, sneaky and scary. When I found out that I had stage 2 breast cancer, invasive ductal carcinoma, the first thing I did was go on CZcams and search what to expect & what am I going to look like on chemo, how am I even going to survive this treatment plan, etc…so I truly hope that my journey helps someone who feels scared, lost, or has “fear of the unknown”, whatever they’re looking for to find inner peace, I hope they can find it through me and my journey. We are all in this together, we are family, we are fighters and we will WIN this battle together! 🙏🏻💕😊
I Love You All,
Bri

I just showed my friend who is going through treatments this video. She is having such a hard time emotionally. I honestly saw her smile for one of the first times in a long time when she was watching this. YOU give people hope, a reason to smile, and to keep going when times are tough. Thank you so so much. Love you right back❤
I think you are amazing! My daughter went through leukemia and lost the battle 1 year later. She was atrue warrior like you and always kept great attitude. She was my hero. So are you. Forward young lady! Thank you. Love your channel and the way you do things. My sense of humor has made me a survivor. So ❤will yours. Love you gal!
Fellow breast cancer survivor. Stay positive. Stay well. ❤❤❤❤
Prayers 🙌 for you ,I'm battling stage 4 lung cancer 😢,God Bless you ,sorry for your loss ❤
To see your expression saying look at my lashes!!!..I felt your happiness whole heartedly ❤
Bri your vlogs are never boring. You are giving people so much information about everything to deal with in breast cancer. Keep going lovely lady🫶🫶👏🌺🤞⭐️💪🍀❤️🙏
Thank you so much, it means a lot to me! 💕🙏🏻😊
You look so well! I have my last chemotherapy tomorrow and then radiotherapy. You have helped me so much with your positive attitude despite your setbacks and disappointments.
You are such an inspiration, Bri.
Even though I have endometrial cancer, not breast cancer we are travelling the same journey. My last chemo is in 10 days, then I have 3 radiation and then immunotherapy. I am also a lot older, almost 83. Bless you. ❤
Good Morning Bree, momma Karla here as always. I absolutely love you sweetie. Please, never, ever think your videos are boring! ✅. You’re such a bright light in so many lives ( including mine). You are just too too cute. I love that silliness about you, even when you’re going thru a storm. You continue to be in my prayers and thoughts. Today is the 25th, sooo that means day 3 of radiation for you. Iam lifting you up in prayers sweetie. With God you’ve got this. I have Faith that you’re doing great. Oh I’ve got another few questions for you. 1. Do you have a boyfriend and or have been married? 2. Do you have besties that come hang out with you and are there for you during your Ca. Journey? 3. Do you ( Are upbeat Bree) have bad days where you just are cranky. . lol. Of course you do / don’t. lol. You are amazingly beautiful Bree and yay 😃 your eyelashes are growing growing! Much love and prayers. Oh, please go and give Melanie Snavely some love.
Breast cancer coach! How to handle it all gracefully and with enthusiasm for life. 💖Never lose your sparkle.
Aww, thank you so much! Your sweet comment just put the biggest smile on my face 😊💕🙏🏻 You are the best!!
I had my 25th and final radiation treatment on 4/22/24. Order Rejuvaskin lotion to use throughout. I use twice a day. You said everything. I also try to live my life happy and spread joy. I'm going to be 64 soon and honestly have crying days. I dont get to have reconstruction because I'm high risk. I'm working on being accepting of being flat. I'll keep you in my prayers. We keep on keeping on. ❤
Got another person in my life who just started radiation therapy. I tried telling her to tune into your channel (she's a PHHer like us) so will see + keep trying to cheer her up every day I work with her at the current job. Hopefully my sister's sister in law is also tuning in and catching the Breeze from Breezie, all you SUPER MOM'S with the big C are doing GREAT and I'm pulling for ya! Motivation to keep trying to get through my own, fat lesser crap and figure things out one day at a time. Keep them videos coming and those big blue eyes shining!
I absolutely love your videos. You have helped me stay so positive during my journey. Monday, I will be 1/2 way through chemo for TRBC, so I still have a ways to go. Thankfully, I have had minimal side effects. I am doing taxol first, then A/C as well as immunotherapy.
Please know that none of your videos are boring. I appreciate you for taking the time to make them. Much love from 🇨🇦
Hi hun, your positivity and energy is just bursting through this video, will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, sending hugs xx
Hi Bri, just incase you need this Lymphatic Drainage video by an oncology PT named Kelly Strum. Kelly is on YT. I have used her videos to work on my own lymphedema. I am so glad they measured your arms before radiation, wish they had done that with me. Smart to get the compression sleeve too. The sooner you start to treat lymphedema the better off you will be. Trust me on this one. Your medical team is amazing! You are amazing! Sending you lots of love , light and healing energy as you go through radiation therapy.
Not boring. It’s nice to hear from you. 🙏
Totally understand the eye lashes. I have alopecia since I was 4 yrs old. Had eyebrows Tattooed and eyeliner. Never would I do eyeliner again. So painful.
I had a seroma when I was recovering from my mastectomy. They're not fun. I'm so glad you're not suffering from one.
Thank you for your positivity 😌
You’re very welcome! 😊💕🙏🏻
You are amazing! I did 5 weeks of radiation for the same type of breast cancer. I barely had any side affects. It wasn’t until the last week that I had a bit of burning/ discoloration. I used all the recommended creams and gels by my doctor and radiation team but found what worked best for me was Aveeno Restorative skin therapy. Just food for thought if you need it. Rock on girl! You are amazing
Love yew and your positivity! You are a FORCE to be recokoned with!!!! Cancer doesn't stand a chance ❤
Awww hiiii!! I love yewwww tewww saaooooooo much! Thank you for supporting me on my journey (& always!!)!! 😊💕🙏🏻
Been binge watching your journey. I have non small cell lung cancer NSLC, diagnoised in Mar 2019. Have had chemo, upper left lung lobectomy, 30 days chemo/radiation, year of immunotherapy, upper right wedge resection, more radiation, a year of targeted therapy and now back to a chemo cocktail since new nodes in the neck have cancer. I was watching your chemo reaction to the red devil and was simply amazed being on one of the most toxic chemos around that you did not get as sick as I did on my recent cocktail of carboplatin/pemetrexed/keytruda. While I was in bed incapacited, I found your channel. I don't intend to go round 2 (out of 4) sicker than a dog in 2 weeks. Will drink, drink, drink water before and after and will try to keep my stomach with something in it to keep the burn in check. You are such a positive person and I wish you well in your journey. We are all warriors just trying to survive this awful C. You made me chuckle when you said "I guess cancer doesn't grow on weekends", referring to 30 days of radiation. I had taxol weekly when doing my 30 days. Didn't lose any hair, but I fasted. I'm fasting with this treatment as well...usually will be on day 3 of the fast one chemo day, then do one more day of fasting after chemo.
Girl-you’ve got the most AMAZING attitude with all you are going thru! You are such an inspiration to watch. God bless you
Thanks for the tip on the hair attached to the hat. I’ll give it a try. ❤️
You’re welcome! It’s super easy to just “throw it on & go” too 😊💕
Never boring. Glad you had no seromas. Be well! Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much! Hope you are having a lovely weekend! 🥰🙏🏻
Congrats on the lashes!! My niece cried when hers cane back!!! I hope it’s sailing with NO lymphedema!!! Lots of prayers!!!
Glad that you are doing so well. You are lucky that you have so much available to you

Hi Brilliant bri, nice to see your doing so well and being inspiring as usual. Lashes fantastic !!! Lots of love and greetings. Prayers too to anyone who's life socks at the moment.
Socks not socks. Well it is 2.30 am so my typing not so good
No sucks
❤love your lashes 😍
🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
From a fellow Jersey Girl, you are so delightful,
Hi, my Jersey girl! Aww, thank you so much! You are too sweet💕😊
Always glad to see a video from you. How are you doing on hormone blockers? And you are so inspirational.
Hi! Aww thank you, I appreciate you! 😊 So far, so good on my hormone blockers. Knock on wood, I haven’t had anymore hot flashes. I’ve had about 4-5 of them so far but maybe my body is adjusting? Or not? Haha time will tell, right? Thank you for asking! 💕🙏🏻
Good luck next week!
Good luck ❤
Always so great to hear from you. I finished with Radiation and Chemotherapy and now my eyelashes and eyebrows have decided to fall out. What?! Gee whiz. I’m following your lead on the eye liner but if you have any other tips I’d love to know. Also, my wig tends to give me a headache after a while so I’ve been wearing beanies and hats but I live in southern California and it’s getting hot. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Stay strong my friend and thanks for everything.
Oh jeez those darn lash and brow hairs! The good thing is they WILL come back! Protein & nutrition helps to speed the growth process up a bit. Massaging the areas to stimulate blood flow helps too! I have a wig that gives me a headache - I rarely wear that one lol. It’s probably too small of a cap size. Other options are - Amazon sells. “Hat wigs”. So it looks like a baseball cap with hair attached. So you literally just throw it on and go!

I wear those hats almost every day. Watch out for the Verzenio, too. Bye bye my new lashes. Oh well. Stay strong and know, it's okay to crumble here and there. Totally normal. 🌻
Please be careful about this physical training crap. I have a neck muscle issue (upper trapezius) going on and went to 4 sessions of PT that did more harm than good. I was even told by a “doctor” (a supposed doc, my PT therapist) that PT is not for everyone. I ended mine with more problems than when I started. Please, just be careful and if something doesn’t seem right, react for your own good.

Wondering if the radiation oncologist told you they want you to stay at the same weight throughout radiation. They told me it was important due to the precise mapping they do at the planning session.
When you do radiation will saline in expanders boil?
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
A smallish C cup will make your clothes fit much better. Most clothes are made for B cups. I had a reduction long ago and it was so worth it. Wish I had had it done sooner. I hope your radiation goes well.
That’s a very good point! I was thinking a C or full C but now that you mention it about clothing, I may hover closer to a standard C (or smaller like you suggested). Thank you for your input! I appreciate that a lot! 😊💕🙏🏻
❤😊 you look beautiful
Aww thank you!! 💕
