My Breast Cancer Diagnosis Story

- This video is about what signs and symptoms I had that led to a self exam and ultimately my breast cancer diagnosis.
Please note that a cancer diagnosis is a very personal experience and there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to breast cancer symptoms and treatment plans. This is just my story and personal experience.

I just finished watching and I also read all the comments. I just want to wish everyone (who is going thru cancer) for a fast recovery and for healing. My prayers are all with you. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story! I have been diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and I have my bilateral mastectomy in a few days! I am scared. I am so afraid they will find more during the surgery. I have not gone through chemo yet. It all depends on if they see any cancer in my lymph nodes during the surgery. You are so right. The moment you find out everything changes forever. I hope you are doing well now in 2023
Thank you for sharing your story. I am facing a possible relapse of breast cancer & it's like the first time all over again. I still haven't cried, but I cried with you as you were relaying your story. Thank you for that. I pray that you have the best outcome with your treatments & recovery. God bless you & yours this day & always.
I’m having my second mammogram and ultrasound this Friday after a suspicious m and u last week. I am widow 56 years old with two kids in college. I am so scared that my kids will lose me too it’s been 3 years since we lost my husband. I have no family history of breast cancer. Thank you for sharing and I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for sharing your story. When I was first diagnosed, I looked for videos like yours. Praying for you and your family.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story! I hope you're doing much better now in 2023! 🎀
You are amazing! You have just given me some hope as I am about to go through my first chemo and I am scared as hell 😢 so thank you so much for putting yourself out there…I pray for your healing ❤
The symptoms you spoke of initially, sound like perimenopause. Thank God you had the visual symptoms in the fullness of your breast that led you to investigate. You did everything right and had very speedy diagnosis and treatment, you are very brave to share your story and it will definitely help other women! You will be a rock for someone else, you are stronger for having gone through this and I pray that you have a wonderful life with your husband and precious boys!💕🙏🏼 from 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it gives me so much hope right now. I had a 2nd mammography and ultrasound on thursday and was told it's not looking good and that it is a malign finding. Having my biopsy tomorrow. On thursday I was in shock and hardly reacted at all, and the next day reality hit and I basically cried all day. Feeling more ready now to face whatever comes even though I know it will be hard. Have had the same kind of symptoms as you the last months (since late summer I think). Feeling tired and extremely hormonal, waking up with a feeling something's really wrong. They couldn't see any lymph node involvement on the ultrasound which is a relief, but the waiting now is the worst. Just randomly found your video today so I have no idea how your progress have been but hope you are cancer free now. Will continue to watch.💕
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. I’m so sorry you are going through this. It’s a horrible club to be in. I am doing very well. Still NED and just had my first 3 month check up with my oncologist and all looked great!
@@Badboobsbetterbudgets so happy to hear that! May it continue that way. Hopefully for me too at the end of this. Take care :)
Thank you for sharing, has been an amazing help and listening to your story before upto the biopsy, is exactly the same as how it was for me just a few days ago. I was totally unprepared for the follow up of my mammogram. I just knew I needed a further scan as what you described is exactly as it was for me here in the UK just last Friday 3rd November. I admire your courage and although I am still waiting for my diagnose, listening to you gives me hope and strength. This waiting time is true torture.
Your video is from a year ago and I truly pray all is going well for you now. At this stage I am not ready to watch any further videos but I take the message of this video to wait in hope and positivism for my results on 13th Nov 23. I hope I hear before then but that is what they’ve told me. Regardless the news I will certainly look for your updates 😊❤
Thankyou so much I'm in the same boat in a few days I have my left breast removed I'm much older!! Your young but they have come a long way with treatment!!! We have no choice but to try to be as strong as possible!! Thankyou for sharing!!
Good luck on your surgery and yes! So many treatment options.
Just happened on this site today. I was very glad I did. I just found out today I have breast cancer, but I am 83 and had no symptoms, no lumps, etc. I hope I can be as brave as you. I wish you the best.
Thank you so much! You will get through this!
Much love. Life is all about ups and downs. I recently gone through the diagnosis process for breast cancer while being pregnant. I can relate to you.
Thanks for being so brave and sharing with us. I will be praying for you. Life can be hard, but having Jesus to walk alongside us makes it bearable. Blessings to you!

Thank you!
Thank you for being a hero for your family and for us, including sharing your story with us. Wishing you a.full recovery. xo ❤
I am older and really feel for you young moms. I’m amazed at how many young women get bc. I sure could relate to what you said though. Life changing for sure and knowing your life will never be the same. It’s very hard absolutely but as you said there is still a lot of good along the way. Not that I ever want to go through it again! I am wishing you all the very best ~
Thank you!
Your story is identical to mine, except my cancer is in the left breast. I had a left mastectomy 5 days ago. I am still waiting for my results and 2 -3 lymph nodes are being biopsied also. I am 60. I know I am much older. I have been told I will need Radiation and after my results come in that will determine if I need Chemo. Ironically, the ONLY reason I went for a mammogram was because my right breast and underarm had been sore to the touch or bump for about 10 months. I just thought it was arthritis ( inflammation). All the activity was on the left breast during the mammogram. I had extra imaging done, the Dr came in, I had a needle biopsy done ( also on a Friday) and was told my results would be in by the following Tuesday or Wednesday. The Tuesday was my 42nd Wedding Anniversary so I decided to wait until the Wednesday so hubby and I could enjoy our special day. I never really believed I had cancer and thought I would be told I had some calcium deposits.
The phrase You Have Cancer will never leave my mind. I didnt know whether to laugh or cry and decided tears were appropriate. My mind left the Drs Office at this point and my husband sat glued to the Drs instructions on my behalf.
Waiting for results is the hardest part. Fear gripped me for 3.5 weeks. Then I decided to toughen up. The next week will be hard until I see my surgeon again.
The hardest part for me was knowing this may have been avoided if I'd had regular mammograms, but I had left it 12 years. 😮
Girls, go and get your mammograms. I was one of 6 women in the ward for breast surgery last Thursday morning. 7 more women were admitted for surgery in the same afternoon. 😭
Thank you for sharing your story. I wish every woman or man going through this a positive outcome. As ive been told so many times this past month, breast surgery and treatment has come so far. XO ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Thank you for sharing this I had my mammogram and was told I need to come back for an ultrasound I'm sitting on pins and needles and praying all is well..thank you, thank you, for sharing this
I hope you get good news!
@@Badboobsbetterbudgets Thank you and I'm wishing you a speedy, healthy, and cancer free recovery
Thank you for sharing. You are a strong woman. Your story is the first one I feel is similar to mine. I am 43 and have completed chemo a few weeks ago and just had a double mastectomy a week ago. Stay strong one day at a time. Thank you Crystal
Thank you! Congrats on finishing chemo!
There’s nothing easy about this illness…it’s heartbreaking…hope your recovering well ❤
Your a lovely brave lady …you should be so proud getting through this. I was diagnosed last August but I’m older than you …64 though it still changes your life. I had chemo then a single mastectomy in Feb. I agree it’s only people who have gone through this that really understands the emotional and mental side of things. Take care I hope your doing much better now xxx❤️
Thank you! Hope you are doing well
Doing good thanks hope you are too xxx
Praying for you through your journey. You got this 💙. Love on your boys!!!!
Thank you so much!
Praying for you and your continued healing! ❤️
THANK YOU ❤for sharing. You are absolutely a light in my day. Everyone kept downplaying getting my biopsy - but like you said reading the room - gut instincts. And also, you are right there is no easy kind- and one would know that favorable outcome doesn’t equal easy! Again thank you. Sending a virtual hug to your boys and you.
Thank you!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer with size 3cm tumor in y milk duct. I never had kids. I'm 66 years old..I'm allresdy handicapped. I'm small breasted. So never could get mammogram. I would self exam a couple times I year. I noticed breast was deformed. I felt large lump. Had sirgury end of May this year. I have had so many problems since surgury.
Massive hematomas over and over again. I have extremely bad lymphademia in that arm. I cant use arm because of massive hematoma. I go on 15th of August. Less then week. To get all these tests to see where else cancer has gone. I'm terrified!! I know it's death sentence!! My cancer feeds off estrogen..There is no history of cancer in my fsmiley. As soon as results come back. I start 2 years of chemo to block estrogen. I allready have really bad legs. Lyphadema. Ulcers. Severe arthritis both knees. I'm being told by cancer dr. Thst I won't have any side effects. I have been watching videos. I know side effects are worse than cancer. Then I hear on some videos that chemo doesn't help. I'm in panic!! Im being told I will
I'm sorry about what you're going through. I found out that I have cancer in my right breast. I had my first round of chemo last week. The fatigue set in 2 days later. This is a hard journey. I wish anyone who is going through this journey all the best. I found my own cancer while drying off after a shower.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. Chemo is brutal.
I finished chemo 2 weeks ago. Its a hard journey but you will get through it. Stay strong. Best wishes from Merida México
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Beautiful strong woman! 💪 🙏💜🙏
Thank you!
Your looking amazing even if you have just had your socks knocked off. It’s women like you that are making my waiting less stressful and probably a lot of others too such empowerment for everyone going threw the process xx.
Thank you!
Thank you for so honestly and candidly sharing your story....

Good Luck always
Thank you
I will pray for the Lord to heal and give you strength. Jesus bless you❤
Thank you!
I am so tired that I take naps and am so worn out by the end of the day. I’m about to be 40 found a lump on right breast and my under arm lymph is swollen and sore. I have so much acne. Hormones off. Doctor felt the lump and sent orders for a diagnostic mammogram. I’m still waiting on my appt date two weeks later. I was also told that I am anemic. I have been feeling so tired and weak and just really bad like I can faint. I have a gut feeling something is wrong! I hate the wait!
Thank you for sharing your story
Thank you
Hi. How are you doing? Can we expect a follow up video soon? Thank you for sharing your story.
Uploading a video tonight!
Thank you for sharing ❤️ Sending you love!
Thank you!
Continued blessings to you and your family. I would love to hear about your chemotherapy video. I go for round 2 of 6 treatments. They are 21 days apart. I feel like I won round one. Lol. But would love to hear more about your journey. 💗✌️😎
Thank you! And hoping treatment is going well for you. I will absolutely work on a video this weekend and try to get it posted this week about my chemo experience
Hi. I stumbled on your video because I have a problem with my breast (the right one) and I am trying to not stress about it. I also have to same symptoms, in a matter of days my right breast double its size. It is also really painful. My armpit is also swollen and painful.
Since I have flu like symptoms, I hope it’s just a mastitis even though I’m not breastfeeding nor pregnant (PCOS).
I’m really not feeling well (tiredness, paleness, headaches, brain fog…). I tried to feel my breast and I felt like a lump, since I don’t really know how to do it I hope it’s nothing but I’m still kinda worried because of my family’s predispositions to cancer.
I have an appointment with my OB-GYN tomorrow and I’ll have an ultrasound, I hope they won’t see nothing severe.
I went through your account and didn’t see any other related video so I hope everything is going well. Stay safe. xx
Thank you so much for your comment. Hope all is well with you.
Bless your heart!
I declare totally healing upon your life
thankyou for sharing sending lots of love and vibes❤

Thank you!
I prayer 2024 has brought much better health
Yes! So far so good!!!!
Thank you for sharing and God bless you
You are brilliant.
Just like you I had been feeling off before I knew I had breast cancer , I have Hashimoto thyroiditis that has similar symptoms. I was diagnosed last December right before Christmas,had a single mastectomy and sentinel lymph node removal on February 2 and bone scan last week and this Wednesday finally meet my oncologist . Your wait time is much faster than mine , I’m in Canada maybe that’s why?. I have a rare type invasive micro papillary carcinoma with DCIS surrounding it ( 18 cm )and 5 out of 6 lymph nodes are positive so I’m in this like you . How was the chemo for you ? Thank you for sharing and I’ll be following your journey . Hugs 🤗
Thank you. Chemo was horrible but effective!
I have the same type micro papillary breast cancer 4cm with no lymph node involvement. The prognosis is very good with this type of cancer. Keep the faith, sending hugs.
@@sandrajagroop9750 I just got all my body scans reports and everything is clear thank god 🙏🏼 I still have more lymph nodes to remove and my other breast and my parathyroid not cancer related but discovered through blood work . Chemo is going well and radiation will be after surgeries. You take care and I’m so happy that you don’t have lymph node involvement. 😀
@@jamiewarkentine7108I'm so happy that the scans were all clear. My IHU came back triple negative so I had to do chemo. I was told since there is no lymph node involvement and micro papillary is a lazy type of cancer I would only need 4 cycles no radiation. I have my 4th next week. Chemo is no walk in the park.
@@sandrajagroop9750 we have a rare breast cancer and you got lucky ,you must have caught it early . I had innumerable tumours to count so I’m staged by my lymph node involvement so I’m stage 3. Feeling positive for now . I don’t believe in cancer free and I’ve be warned micro cells can still be there even though the tests are clear so I’ll be diligent over the next years.
Hi mama thanks for sharing.My mammo birad 4 i am scared and anxious. Have to get a biopsy
How are you? I enjoyed every moment of your story.
Thank you! Doing well. 2.5 years out now!!!

Hope all is well!
Thank you to sending you a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊💪💪💪🙏🙏
Thank you!
Prayers to u may GOD bless u and heal u
We don't have mammograms till we are 50 in the u.k, I think it's way too old. Obviously, if we find a lump, we get seen sooner, but if we don't examine ourselves, we'd be dead in your situation !!
What are your breast CA markers?
❤️
I had just turned 43
Dear so sorry for you. Week berfor I found lump in my right breast just above my nipple. I said my mom she told it is not possible to have cancer at age 13 I am really scared because there so many cases teens having breast cancer. It was my periods time . But I squeezed it clear discharge came out. Can it cancer please reply me
Hope you got it checked out and all is fine!
@@Badboobsbetterbudgets do u have shoulder and arm pain as well ??
Likely a backed up milk duct. Dr will check it out but it might not be bad news
❤️❤️❤️
I started watching you a few years back because i love your energy. Your humor and chill-ness is just so refreshing. Seeing this on my feed… my heart sank and I cried with you while watching. Much love to you and your family. Sending virtual hugs and strength and prayers.
