You're so strong and brave. Determined. That attitude will carry you through this. I did 16 rounds of chemo 3 1/2 years ago. I could not get a port because of a pre existing condition that I needed surgery for a week before chemo. The surgeon did not want to risk an infection. So I had to get iv's every time. That was so frustrating. I learned though to drink a ton of water. It helps with getting iv's and flushing the chemo meds out of your body. So, drink water like it's a job and you're getting paid by the bottle! Trust me that helped me. I never had any sickness through chemo. I actually gained weight during chemo. They give you steroids and I ate anything not nailed down! The naps during chemo were AMAZING! You get tired because they give you Benadryl too. So naps are the best. My five hours once a week "spa day"(chemo) was always positive. I chose positive. You will too. Good luck and God is with you. Trust God, He is with you.
I needed this. I am preparing for my port and chemo journey.
@@fruitofthespiritgalatians5856 do you have breast cancer? Chemo can be brutal. I just remember being advised to drink a ton of water every day . I was drinking at least 8 a day. I always drank an entire bottle before going and one on the way plus during. It's not getting rid of the chemo meds that makes you sick. So, remember that and you'll be fine.
Oh, honey, you are adorable. So brave, so eloquent, and the followers are so darn proud of you. This is no easy feat for a child your age. You should be out doing other things. But, that will come soon. Your struggles should be behind you in no time. Sending prayers and loving vibes! Eat up, and rest, and get healthy!!!
You are such a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Cancer survivor here.....I know it's so very scary. Sending you love and a huge virtual hug. May the universe fill you with strength.
I agree; needles are no fun. The port will save you lots of needless jabs. Glad you got this day behind you. 👊🙏✨️👸
I’m praying your strength as you start your treatments. You got this beautiful!💪🏽💜
You’re at the best place. I’ve been receiving treatment for over a yr @ Duke Cancer. Everyone is so warm and calming. I pray for the best for you and a smooth journey to beat “the big C”
I wish you the best on your recovery ❤️🩹! And I am glad to hear that you had a good experience there as well!
You ARE amazing! You have no idea how many people you are having an impact on!!
Your age plays a huge factor in your recovery! My ex-husband, and the father of my second oldest daughter had a stroke at age 23. It was due to a cancerous tumor that was in his brain. The doctor said that anyone even 10 years older than what he was would not have recovered the same and had a lower probability of survival! You got this girl! My thoughts and prayers will be with you 💪🏻🫶🏻
I watch your vlog with my 11yearold granddaughter Meri. Meri has never seen anyone so beautiful go through something so painful and she is humbled by your reality and enlightened that courage has depths . Your story Isabella touches our life here in Fredericksburg, VA. Thank you for inviting anyone who is willing to look at the reality of cancer and to see it up close, through your eyes. Meri and I pray for your strength in the Lord Jesus Christ to trust his will for your life. Thank you again Isabella.
@Judithparaedu Thank you for your marvelous words. I expect the best for Isabella and will continue to pray for her strength during her recovery. Best wishes to you as well as Meri from Chesapeake, VA.
@@andreaschneider6202 Thank you. Your reply blessed my world.

I just have to say I give you a lot of credit for doing such a great job with this blog that you created. I’m sure you’re going to be an inspiration to many others, but always keep your chin up and you’re absolutely beautiful.🌹
You are a brave beautiful young lady, sending prayers and hugs 💚🙏
You are so beautiful. That was a lot of stuff they had to do to you. I'm sorry about the pain you're in. You are in our prayers! You're a very strong young lady! ❤
I am so proud of your bravery in doing these videos. I am a grandmother of eight and great grandmother of 5 (twin fraternal girls too) and I was so nervous watching you get those needles and you were such a trooper!! Your videos are so helpful and informative for others and I wanted you to know how much your followers appreciate them! Hang in there sweetie, much better days are ahead!!❤❤
Isabella, I am so proud of you, you're a trooper. I too know first hand none of this is fun. I'm a third stage Ovarian Cancer survivor. Never thought I would get through it but we are much stronger than we realize. We want to live, so we do what we have to and we fight like hell, we keep a positive attitude and never lose our sense of humor. We will continue to pray for you as you continue on your journey. ❤💐❤
You are so beautiful & beyond courageous!! In my prayers from OH. ✌🏼❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing Isabella. You are a beautiful light and inspiration. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. Keep smiling and powering through. You are doing great! ❤
Your a brave and beautiful soul! My Dad had cancer once the port heals it will feel much better and make things easier and no more being stuck my needles no more. Your strength and bravery is beautiful! Thoughts and prayers to you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Isabella PLEASE make sure you get a prescription for EMLA cream to apply to the port site an hour before chemo and/or blood draw. You should also be given several small Op site dressings to cover the cream so it won’t get wiped off from your clothing. It will numb the skin around the port! Makes accessing the port nicer for YOU 😉👍🏻💜
Poor Baby…God Bless you while going through this tough time
I am with you on needles. I totally hate them. You our a amazing beautiful young lady. You have a wonderful family you will get threw this. When you have love & support you can accomplish almost anything..But most important you have the will& fight to beat this. God Bless sending prayers your way 🙏🙏❤❤
Absolutely LOVE you beautiful lady! You are added to our prayer chain and only positive vibes are being sent! YOU WILL BE HEALED! You are loved and being thought of constantly.
Needles are a blessing because they administer the medication to your body that is going to make you well again. I hated them and absolutely hated chemo but it's been 15 years since my cancer and I am healthy and enjoy my family and friends every day. You will get better!!! Repeat that every day. I have been watching you. You are much braver than you think. I am so proud of you. I don't think i was as brave as you are. Hang in there and just remember all this "torture" is making you well!!!!
Hi Isabella🙌🏽🙌🏽 you are so blessed and brave❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you for sharing with us❤️
You are so brave!! I can never look at needles, not even blood draws. You are beautiful, an inspiration to so many and so blessed to have loving family and friends with you.
Thank you for sharing your journey. 🤗
You are so brave. I’m so proud of you. Prayers and love to you and your family. Your dad has always been one of my favorite personalities from his football days. You got this girl I’m a survivor of two different cancers
You are so strong and brave. When you get well, I would love for you to come to Atlanta to be a guest on my show to share your journey. Praying for complete healing for you. ❤
You are so strong and brave. Thank you so much for sharing. You look so much like your dad. Especially the needle stick faces 🤣🤣
I completely understand what hell you are going through! I have stage 4 terminal lung cancer. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a tumor in right lung and it traveled over the superclavical and attached to the carotid and jugular. Radiation and then 3 types of chemotherapy. It was hell! You are strong and you have an awesome support system. I keep you in my prayers. You will get through this. The port was a godsend! My veins are terrible and the chemo didn’t help that either. Cancer just plain sucks!
Oh dear girl, I’m sorry they couldn’t find your vein the first time….that’s horrible. The port is much easier….Strength and love to you 💜🙏
You are such an inspiration Ms. Isabella! God will see you through this process and I will continue to pray for your complete healing!
Thank you for sharing. Many if us have no idea what you are going through, but I wish this on no one. You are brave and inspirational. So glad you have such a great family to support you through this. Keep the positive attitude as much as you can. You got this!!
I’ve been through everything you are going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully when you get through all the chemo treatments, it will be smooth sailing for you

I am praying for a complete healing. Don’t forget to pray about it too. God will give you strength. ❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
I don't know if your dr will offer it, but while I was having chemotherapy they gave me some cream to rub on the skin over my port about 30 minutes before they needed to insert a needle into it for chemo treatment or blood drawer. The cream numbed the area so the needle insertion didn't hurt. Stay strong. You got this
I wish her the best. Please keep faith🙏🏽
Praying for complete healing after your chemotherapy your bright smile & courage and healing for others!🙏🏾❤️
I feel like I know you for real because I'm such a great fan of your dad and have watched you girls growing up. I'm so proud of your bravery as you go through your treatments. God got you!!! You are most definitely in my prayers. Sending you virtual love and hugs❤❤
Thank you for sharing your journey Isabella! The care at Duke is the best. I’ve been a patient there for over 3 years but over in the Breast Cancer Clinic. Saying prayers for you!
God is so good! Praying for your strength, peace and continued support from your family. You will look back and be so proud of your journey. You got this❤❤❤
You stay strong Bella, Sending Love and prayers your way !
I've gone thru bladder cancer. Removed my bladder.. had a hysterectomy. Removed 29 lymph nodes. All negative..Have a urostony bag. Went thru radiation and emotherepy.. cancer tumor is gone and I'm clear.. but still doing emotherepy.. so I'm know what you're going thru. It's a lot and overwhelming at times. But you got this and so do I. You will beat this. God bless. Xo
Praying for you 🙏 You are courageous!!
May God comfort you and give you strength as you fight and win this battle. Your beautiful spirit is an inspiration to all! Thank you!
You are inspiring. Beautiful smile and amazing attitude. God bless
Stay strong, stay positive, and you'll get through this. My Mom had triple negative breast can and she's four years cancer free. I'll say a prayer for you. Much love and respect.
Thanks for sharing your journey. I had breast cancer in 2004 and things sure have improved but I hate that there’s still people fighting this disease… including my just 2 year old granddaughter
Wow, that was a lot of stuff! But you are one step closer to finishing the chemo now and that will feel fantastic!
Beautiful and BRAVE young woman! I’m sure your bravery to share this difficult journey will help others.
Hang in there sweetheart!! God has you❤. My prayers are with you❤
Prayers coming to you from Virginia from The Factor Catcher Podcast. Stay strong, and battle hard. We will keep you in prayer. Continue to advocate ... Motivate your soul and mind, and manifest the world. Isabella, you are a breathtaking butterfly. We are here for you.
You’ve got this! Sending you a hug.
Sending lots of prayers and hugs🙏❤️Jesus is with you through everything
My prayers are with throughout this very difficult journey. God will sustain you. . God Bless you and your family that he provides strength to endure ❤
Such a beautiful young lady!! God has got you and this!!
Praying for you, baby girl!!! Take it one day at a time, love you
Having been “stuck” so many times, my biggest fear is the nurses that just “wing it” and miss and have to repoke. You seem like you have a good team taking care of you. Great attitude, smiles, friends and family are there with you ❤
Isabella, you are being so strong and brave, you’re a beautiful soul. Remember that you can have your moments and that’s okay but the fact that you are doing this to help others is beautiful and selfless. I am praying for God to continue to give you the strength to push through with Chemo and praying for your “family” who are walking through this journey with you. As someone who supported my loved one through throat cancer, the treatment for head and neck cancers is intense to say the least. You and your family got this! 🙏🏽💪🏽🤙🏽
