Hi Leanne, I've been following your weight loss journey since the beginning, and I am so sorry to hear your news. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on 9th December 2016. My cancer was very aggressive and required chemo, then a mastectomy followed by more chemo. I dreaded the treatment but found it wasn't as bad as I feared, and I was actually able to continue working throughout. I have now been cancer free for five and a half years. The next few months will be hard, but don't be afraid to lean on your loved ones. They want to help you and this journey will be easier for all of you if you allow them to help. I tried to stay strong and keep my feelings bottled up for fear of upsetting people around me, but it was so much easier after I let them in. Stay positive and do whatever you feel you need to do to to beat this 😘
Did you suffer any side effects? I'm glad you're better now
@MsLadyBlueWorld I had mild nausea for 5-7 days after each session of chemo but was never sick and could still eat. I had a bad skin reaction to my first session, but that settled after a couple of weeks and I didn't have any other skin issues. I was actually quite shocked at how few side effects I had.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, I’m sorry to hear what you went through I’m so pleased you’re doing well now 🌸
U can do this💙💙💙💪💪💪🥰🥰🥰
Leanne, please take CARNIVORA. It is natural, safe and very effective against cancer. President Reagan took it for his cancer while in the Whitehouse. It helped my mom a lot. Google it.
Oh, Leanne...😭 I'm so sorry you're going thru this, but your courage, positivity, and determination give you a HUGE edge. Thank God you were persistent in pursuing a diagnosis. Now, let's get stuck in and kick this cancer to the kerb. Clean eating with plenty of antioxidants is so beneficial to those with this diagnosis. I'm an RN who specializes in nutrition in patients who have diabetes and cancer, so if I can help in any way, I'm here for you. I'm not going anywhere, and whenever you feel up to posting, I'll be watching. You're brave beyond words. Please let us know how you're getting on. Love and hugs to you sweet lass. ❤
You are an RN, can't spell curb, and are blabbering about antioxidants to deal with cancer? Perhaps someone should copy and paste your comment to your licensing body to see if you should be giving nutritional advice over the internet.
Thank you so much, I’ve focussed on good eating this week and I’m feeling good, I hope you’re well 🌸
What a kind person.
Thank goodness your doctor was caring enough to refer you. Ours are rubbish and you have to fight constantly.
I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I feel really upset as your vlogs help me so much.
I know 2023 is not going to be the easiest in terms of treatments.
You can do this.
We are all here for you.
Sending you so much love and I’ll be praying for you too. 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much 🌸
We are our best doctors and you knew. Not having a mammogram before 40 is a joke. In Europe they do especially if there is a lump so why can’t we. Stay strong and I do recommend looking into whole foods and vitamins. My sister had breast cancer 17 years ago stage 4 and she done all the research on good food and it helped a lot. Also research fasting. It is very very good to help the body when it needs to recover from illness . X
Thank you so much, I’m sorry to hear about your sister, I do think diet can help a lot 🌸
Maria was your sister doing water fasting? Can I have details please?
Very encouraging to hear that your cancer is slow and low-grade. I'm praying you reach remission swiftly. God Bless you! ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much 🌸
Oh bless you Leanne thank god you persevered,your strength and positivity is admirable,you will beat this💪🤗
Thank you so much 🌸
Leanne, thank you for sharing your story. I have had cancer and 15 year later I am still here. I had two types of breast cancer. I also had a small, hard lump almost stuck to the chest wall. A very competent tech found it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this I’m so pleased to hear you’re doing well it gives me so much hope 🌸
I am 34 and live in the US. I found a lump a few months ago. They sent me in for a mammogram and an ultrasound. Thankfully, they say its cysts, and that i ok. I will just have to keep an eye on the lumps. Good luck. Sending positive thoughts ✨️
Oh that’s great news such a relief to have the reassurance after both of those tests, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to write 🌸
We all no our own bodies so
glad you kept going back sending you big hugs xxxx❤
Thank you so much 🌸
As a cancerphobic I actually had to MAKE myself watch this I daren't have mammograms, I daren't have smears, every ache and pain is cancer in my mind, I am a jittering wreck believe me, but Leanne, listening to you describe what would be my worst nightmare diagnosis, you helped so much, you are so straight forward and to the point along with a steady narrative, you should be proud of yourself, I send healing prayers and strength to you, God Bless, and thank you.
Thank you so much, I’m sorry to hear about how you’ve been feeling I’m sending you my very best wishes 🌸
Why don't you get pap smears??
Please get regular mammograms. Breast cancer is such a hard road to travel. Catching something early makes all the difference. ❤
Rose you must get mammograms, it's either that or DEATH.
Please get therapy for your "cancerphobia" ... Avoiding tests doesn't avoid cancer, it just makes you have less chance of living if you get cancer.
Avoiding information doesn't change the answers.
You should get the tests so doctors have years of tests as a baseline to track against to see any small changes.
You're better off if you have negative results, then if changes happens it's easy to compare.
I got my first mammogram and breast ultrasound at age 30-31 due to something...and it was negative, no issues, but now I have that record and imaging that they could compare against
I am so sorry I hope you will get the very best treatment available. My 30 year old daughter in law passed away 10 years ago from a very aggressive form of cervical cancer after missing one Pap test. I would love to see a cure for all types of cancer. Please know I will be praying for you and wish you the very best. Thank you for coming forward with your journey I know it will help others who are going through this. There is no excuse for the doctors dismissing you as they did that is just wrong. So sorry it took so long to get a diagnosis.
Thank you so much, I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law I really am, I too want nothing more than a cure we just have to keep hope that it will happen. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and write 🌸
Oh im so sorry Leanne. Sending you positive thoughts and wishes x
Thank you 🌸
I really admire your strength. You've came across so calm and collected in this video, I hope that's not disrespectful to say. My experience with cancer was awful and so numbing. You're incredible. You know what you're doing, how you're planning on handling this and it's lovely to see, respectfully. I'm wishing you all the best for your tests in the new year. Please keep us all updated when you can, no pressure❤️ praying for a speedy recovery.
Thank you so much for this lovely message it really means a lot, I hope you’re well and having a nice weekend 🌸
Mine is a nasty bloody dripping fungated cancer on right breast, smelly and keeps me stuck in house that when I do go for treatement I have to pad up real good, I just wanna die! Cancer sucks!
@@angelfirelite my goodness that sounds absolutely awful I’m so sorry 🌸
Oh no Leanne😣
Sending you love hugs prayers 🙏 and strength 💪 from 🇮🇪🍀💚🤗
Thank you so much 🌸
Oh sweetheart I'm thinking of you your in my prayers. Your so brave I'm sending all my love and strength. We are all here for you. To be honest I knew something was wrong 😘🤗😘 xxxxx
Thank you so much, I had a lot of people say they could tell something was wrong which is why I did this video I felt it was important to be honest 🌸
Bless you, I haven’t stopped thinking about you since I read the news yesterday. Sending love x
Thank you so much 🌸
My goodness Leanne I was absolutely floored by this news.
Thank goodness you just new something wasn’t right
You definitely have things set out with your health and well-being
Last couple of weeks I myself have been referred to breast clinic. A couple of things they advised me to help prevent breast cancer and reduce the risk was alcohol, weight and diet. I always thought smoking was the main risk but no! Fortunately I don’t drink at all haven’t in almost 18 years but my weight and diet definitely need sorting.
You want to bring good foods into your diet like turmeric….. I watch another channel Tiffany Thinks…. She is also going through her own cancer journey not breast cancer but her wonderful mom makes her fresh juices full of goodness with things like turmeric and ginger. You may find watching some of those vlogs useful for some ideas.
Please use your channel for what ever you feel is needed . We are here to support you.
Sending all my love to you and your family ❤
Thank you so much, I hope all is well with you 🌸
Hi leanne so sorry about your diagnosis bless you I understand what you are going through 8 weeks ago I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia and like your cancer its slow growing I was on chemo now on targeted therapy something I have to live with but thankfully manageable you are such a lovely person and you will be ok darling you are doing so well with your weight loss and you will beat this lots of love to you xx
Thank you so much, I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis but you sound positive, I wish you all the very best and I hope you continue to feel well 🌸
@@Mrsleannejames aww Leanne thank you so much I think that's what you have to be is to stay positive its the only way I wish you all the best xx
I am so sorry for this. I know it hurts but stay strong Leanne, we will always support you ❤
Thank you so much 🌸
Dear Leanne. Thank you for your story. You've been so kind and brave to share your story with us. We'll done for sticking with your instincts. My mother was also fobbed off and 3 years down the road has discovered she has stage 4 cancer after making a fuss. It's just not good enough is it. You look great and you're an inspiration. Lisa xx
Thank you so much Lisa, I’m sorry to hear about your mother it’s amazing how we know something isn’t right, I’m sending you and your mother my very best wishes 🌸
Oh Leanne. You are so right, your gut feeling will always tell the truth and you know your own body more than anyone else. We must be our own advocates for health.
I’m so gutted for you. I went for a check on a lump a few weeks ago (I think the same day as you, weirdly) and mine turned out to be fine, but that experience will never leave me. Sending you all the love and strength (and if you need to be angry, be angry. Feel your feelings and just do you.)
Sending so much love. Nhs Breast cancer care is second to none. 💖
Thank you so much, I’m so pleased to hear your check was okay it’s a frightening experience 🌸
So sorry to hear this Leanne and of the dismissive attitudes and arrogance of the medical fraternity in womens' health. Your positive vibe is awe inspiring. You've got this lovely, we are here for you, sending much love and big hugs! X
Thank you so much 🌸
I’m so glad you stood up for yourself! I’m going through a similar situation. I had an MRI of my lower spine because of chronic back pain. An incidental finding is a large cyst on one of my ovaries. My doctor ordered an ultra sound and a transvaginal ultra sound. Today he called and said the radiologist couldn’t decide if I had one large cyst or 2 cysts side by side but that he was ok with following up in 3-4 months. My doctor said he was good with that too but he could also refer me to a gynecologist to get his opinion and that he was comfortable with that also. I told him I wanted the referral to the gynecologist so now I’m waiting for a call from them. I also just have that feeling or maybe it’s just fear. Why take a chance? Good luck with your surgery!
Oh bless you the uncertainty is awful, I’m sending you my very best wishes for a good outcome for you, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to write 🌸
Leanne, you obviously have great inner strength to enable you to face your health challenges - we're all here to support you if only virtually. Sending you hugs and good wishes for your continued determination 😘 xx
Thank you so much 🌸
You are incredible. Well done for going back to the Dr's everytime. You are so brave xxx
Thank you so much 🌸
GOD BLESS YOU LEANNE X ❤️ YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS X I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR THIS X
Thank you so much 🌸
Bless you. Hope you do well. I was diagnosed in 2019. Had a mastectomy and 25 lymph nodes removed. The mammogram didn't see it. Just by observation, it didn't look right. They did a biopsy and then diagnosed it as stage 3. I didn't even complete my chemo, just had two sessions and doing fine now. Well, I wanted to advise you to have olive oil. I read somewhere that it prevents and helps stop cancer. I have sauteed broccoli and other veggies in it. I know it is expensive though. Just trying to help.
Proud. Of u. Self. Advocate. Period. You just knew. Your intuition was guiding you and will have saved your life. Well done!! You’ve got this. No doubt. Whatever treatment. It’s a must. And you will be stronger in the end. And your voice your story needs to be shared!!!! Trust. Your. Gut. Instinct. … Just finished my chemo. Lymphoma
Was told over n over. Oh. That big lymph node on neck. No worries. That’s. From Covid. Well. No. The whole time. Two months cancer was spreading. Super. Important messsge. We share
Self……advocate…. I send Prayers. N blessings. To you. Proud. Of you. 💖💖🌷🌷🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been through that I hope you’re well now 🌸
You have just helped thousands of women who feel like they’re symptoms are too vague to identify cancer. They feel like no one is listening and they’re labeled complainers. Your video gives women validation that their intuition needs to be explored. I pray that you will conquer this diagnosis, but rest assured that God knows what you are going through. As hard as this sounds, everything we go through is meant for good in the long run. That’s a tough pill to swallow when we can’t see the reasons for our pain. I pray that God’s grace will give you the strength to endure whatever comes your way, as this video of your very private moments will be a beacon of strength and determination for everyone who is going through difficult times in their lives. You are an angel in disguise. 😘❤️🤗🎈
Thank you so much 🌸
Aw Leanne, I’m so sorry to hear this news. You’re a brilliant, lovely, beautiful and inspiring woman, and I hope your recovery quickly xx
Hi Maria it’s lovely to hear from you I’ve thought about you often I hope you’re well, thank you so may for your kind words 🌸
So sorry to hear you are going through this Leanne. Feel cross for you that you wasn't listened to at the start! Thank God you persisted in getting it checked again! Praying you get the best treatment and make a speedy recovery. Look forward to your videos sharing what you learn along the way. Lots of love ❤️
Thank you so much 🌸
13:51 I’m so sorry it took you so long to receive your diagnosis. I’m so happy you were own advocate. This is a lesson for all women. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Prayers and thoughts go out to you from California.❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🌸
Leanne what a shock . Well done for your persistence with the Drs. Best of luck. Lots of love
Thank you so much 🌸
Oh Leanne, I'm so very sorry that you have to fight this terribly cruel disease but YOU'VE GOT THIS! You are so positive going into this and sounds like you have a plan of attack in place! True inspiration to all. Sending you lots of healing vibes for a speedy recovery 💗
Thank you so much 🌸

Thank you so much 🌸
Wishing you all the best with your treatment. My mother in law had breast cancer, so pleased yours has been found at an early stage. You will beat this. Sending healing hugs. Xxxxxx
Thank you so much 🌸
Greetings from San Diego, CA 🌞 Thank you for sharing your story. I've known many, many people (mostly women) who have been dismissed (or have been misdiagnosed) by doctors. Your message is important: listen to your gut and advocate for yourself if you feel that something is not quite right. Glad to hear that you are now on the path to healing. Sending hugs, light, and blessings your way 💛
Thank you so much 🌸
Ah Leanne I'm sorry to hear this news. I hope you are well supported to get through this scary time.
You are very brave talking about your diagnosis. I cried for 3 weeks when I was diagnosed.
Sending you lots of good wishes for a return to better health.
Big hugs x
Thank you so much, I hope you’re well 🌸
Hi Leanne, I’ve just watched your video and had to send you a message. I was recently diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer after being medically gaslighted for over a year. Even after having 2 biopsies I was told that it was nothing to worry about. Pathology took weeks to come back and that’s when I was diagnosed. Will be getting a radical hysterectomy after the New Year. Hearing the words that you have cancer have totally changed my world. It’s a club that nobody wants to belong to but I’ve learned a lot about self-care since my diagnosis. I’m petrified of the surgery and even more scared of the emotional toll that this will all have on me. I just really felt a connection to your journey. You’ll be in my thoughts and I hope that everything works out for you ❤
My goodness I’m so sorry to hear your story, thank you so much for taking the time to share this I’m sending you my very best wishes 🌸
Aw Leanne, so sorry to hear this. Wishing you lots of love, strength & best wishes on your journey. Take good care of yourself & rest up as much as you can too , keep us posted on your progress. Thinking & praying for you ❤️...
Thank you so much 🌸
You're very brave Leanne for sharing your story. Things won't be easy, but I know you can get through this. Sending you lots of love, positive thoughts & strength. We are here with you ❤
Thank you so much 🌸
Hi Leanne! I got your video as a recommendation and I'm glad I watched it. I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, it's such a horrible experience you've been through. It's so frustrating to hear especially as a breast cancer survivor myself. 💞 I'm almost 4 years from my diagnosis.
I have a couple suggestions for you that you may not be aware of. I was very much like you in the beginning in that I knew basically nothing about breast cancer prior to my diagnosis but it's like being dropped into a hot frying pan once you get the results. 😲😰
Approximately 4 years years ago a major discovery was made with regards to breast cancer and chemotherapy. It was medically proven that not all breast cancers need chemotherapy and in fact have no affect on certain cancers. This was and is amazing news because many woman died horrible deaths from unnecessary chemotherapy treatments. It was studied over a period of 10 years and the medical boards made the decision that those breast cancers no longer would be treated with chemo and a new test state of the art test was discovered and proven very accurate and it's called an⚠️ ↪ Oncotype DX test. This test is to confirm the type the treatments needed as well as it also gives you the chances of your cancer returning in the next year. (?) I can't remember if it 1 year or 2 years. Anyway it is an amazing test and it's done using the a sample of what they remove during your lumpectomy. It was only available in California where they sent my tumor to but there maybe more labs now.
My tumor was discovered on a regularly scheduled biannual mammogram. I had no idea and laughed when they called me back for further tests. I have fatty dense breast tissue and I was just 49 but because of my breasts being dense, I wanted to make sure that I had regular mammograms and I keep track of when I'm due, I don't rely on the doctors to keep track. 😉
I went through the 2nd round of mammograms and then the ultrasound and then asked if I could stay for biopsies. I knew after the ultrasound that they suspected cancer because they retook them 3 or 4 times for over an hour. It turned out my tumor was 1 mm from my chest wall behind my breasts so it would never have been felt until it was very large and too late.
I received the news and it was a blurr after that with appointments and testing. I met with the surgeon almost a week after my diagnosis and it was decided on mutually I would have a lumpectomy because it was only 6mm in size. They removed the tumor and 1 node that was clear. I had a "sentinal node biopsy". ⬅️☣⚠️ please read/google about that procedure as I'm sure you will have it done. It's good to educate yourself on that procedure.
My tumor was sent for the OncotypeDX test and it came back that I did need chemo and unfortunately it came back that I had a pretty ugly type of cancer and my odds were high that it would return without a good fight.
I was immediately started on chemo but 7 days after my 1st dose I was admitted to hospital with Sepsis. I was told that basically I am one of those people that has a body that doesn't handle chemo and they were going to cut my next dose by 20%. Long story short, I didn't get the 3rd dose because I was in the hospital in critical condition fighting for my life from my 3rd go with Sepsis. I was told that my organs were shutting down and I had higher odds of not leaving the hospital than recovering. 😢 I decided that I had to fight hard and I made it a mission to recover. Almost 5 weeks later I was skipping down the hospital corridor to go home. 😊 I took control of every single medication, treatment and all my nutritional requirements. I had a charts in my hospital room to track everything and the hospital made all kinds of exceptions to bring in healthy nutritional options for my meals. I was my own advocate and I also decided that it was going to be really important to stay 100% positive, happy and laugh as much as I could. I swear that was what saved me!! The nurses were massively important in their role of joining in on my laughter and they were all about joining in on my mission. My positive attitude, healthy eating and laughter saved my life for sure. I still have all my test results and the numbers on my blood panels back then were just unimaginable.
It's important to keep track of everything in any way you can. I colour coded everything in a bullet journal and I tracked to the minute when I was due for meds. I made sure to stay on top of the timing, dosages etc because the Infectious Decease specialists were having trouble find the right meds to fight the infections.
I didn't finish the chemo but I had lengthy radiation treatments and they added extra treatments on. It was easy for the most part but radiation is just like a sun burn in that it doesn't show up until later and radiation is much longer in it's time showing up than a sun burn. It wasn't until my 2nd or 3rd week when I started to blister and they kept reminding my that it was still going to progress for weeks after my treatments were done. I had great advice from my home care nurse to wash my burns with Ivory bar soap morning and night in the shower and then apply a good amount of a really good moisturizing unscented lotion. I used Cetaphil Pro and my burns healed very quickly and beautifully with no sign of them left behind. 👍🏻 I was certain I was going to severe scars and damage because my burns were so deep and purple raw flesh. I thought the washing the burns was crazy but it was exactly right and even with my virtually zero immune system, I was able to fight off infections in my massive burn.
I just recently finished getting my 2 radiation tattoos removed through laser treatments. I was very happy because one of my tattoos was accidentally made about 5 times the size it was supposed to have been and I hated it. The hospital Oncology doctors were able to find my a doctor that had a cosmetology clinic with state of the art equipment and he happened to have the latest laser to zap very easily and virtually painlessly. Unfortunately it took 9 appointments to remove the big tattoo and the normal size correct tattoo was removed in 4 treatments. But I'm happy they are both gone and the doctor did all the removals free of charge because they are breast cancer rads tattoos. ❤💖
I'm sorry for the massive message but hopefully you will get some information in it that will help you in your journey. 🙏🏼💝
Hi Cyndy, my goodness it’s incredible what you have been through thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me, it’s such a story of hope too! I will look in to the things you have mentioned. I’m so pleased you have recovered thank you so much for watching and writing this 🌸
Thanks for sharing Leanne. My thoughts are with you. Sending you lots of love and positive thoughts 💕 Take care 😘 xx
Thank you 🌸
Hi Leanne, so sorry to hear your news. You are strong and positive. I am in exactly the same boat, I'm having a lumpectomy tomorrow morning. 3 weeks radiation too starting mid January. Like you I'm very strong, no doom or gloom and I trust my consultant here in Ireland. I've been told to cut down on carbs and sugar is the enemy. I'm finding cutting sugar out v hard, I think I'll get there eventually, I've been comfort eating. Best of luck. 💕
Hi Joan, I really hope everything has gone well I’m sorry you’re going through it too, I love your positivity I’m thinking of you 🌸
Wow the fact it's stage one after two years!. You got this girl. Amazing job advocating for yourself! Xx
I know if it really is stage 1 then I am very lucky, the consultant said the cells are turning very slowly so this is a good sign 🤞 thank you so much 🌸
I’m So sorry you are going through this. Something similar happened to me this year in April/May. I became unwell in late March getting breathless, fatigue, chest pain, high heart rate and retaining fluid. I went to my GP 6 times and was told it was anxiety. I knew something was not right as I know my body the best. The last doctor said it was psychological as he could see 1000 people my age and only 1 would have something seriously wrong with them and it wasn’t me. I was 36. I felt like I was a hypercondriak and changed doctors, within 2 days I was admitted to hospital and told I needed open heart surgery to save my life as I was a short few weeks from my aorta rupturing and bleeding to death as well as having a very leaky valve which needed replacing with a mechanical valve. Following my gut instincts saved my life so please everyone never give up if you feel something is wrong. I have now been diagnosed with heart failure because of the doctors ignoring me for so long but I am doing extremely well now and making a good recovery. Sending you lots of love Leanne xx
Hi Rebecca, my goodness I’m sorry you went through that but well done for persevering because it’s not easy you do, I’m so pleased you’re okay, thank you so much 🌸
Good for you for pressing on. It is hard to b fobbed off and no believed. You NEED TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND BE ASSERTIVE, do your homework as much as you can, and keep pushing. I argued, on my husband's behalf till they listened, with uteen specialists. You have to sometimes insist.
I’m a new viewer Leanne. I’ve had colon cancer (2009) and cervical (2015) so I’ve been where you are,but with a different cancer. You have a great attitude and well done for pursuing your concerns- you are a warrior and you are going to be FINE! Don’t blame yourself-it’s not helpful and you are doing your best now. Sending you my love and prayers and I will be following your journey and keeping you in my prayers. 🙏
Thank you so much, I’m sorry to hear about what you’ve been through I really hope you’re well now 🌸
Leanne I'm so sorry to hear this news , its also a turning point in your life!!! It teaches us to improve our lives in many areas & these days they do amazing things for us in Medical area I have seen it happen & we are all with you leanne xx
Thank you so much 🌸
Oh Leanne, thank god you were persistent, huge hugs and support xxx
Thank you so much 🌸
Sorry to hear this news. You are so brave and I hope you can continue to be strong throughout this journey. Make everyday count. Take care ❤
Thank you so much 🌸
I had the exact procedures done with me...since March. My next mammogram is February and hopefully they find no cancer..but I understand your apprehension. Praying for you and hopefully we both have a great 2023. Merry Christmas.
I hope you’re feeling well now, I’m sending you my very best wishes for February fingers tightly crossed 🤞 thank you so much, Merry Christmas to you too 🌸
My heart goes out to you xx I found my first lump when I was 22 and that was petrifying xx so sorry that no one would take you seriously x you poor lady xx
Thank you so much 🌸
Thank you so much for posting this journey this as it highlights that if someone is worried about their health they should persist till they get a resolution. I have serious health issues myself and can identify with how you are feeling I will keep viewing and supporting you. Have a lovely Christmas xx
Thank you so much 🌸
I am so sorry to hear this. You are amazingly brave to be sharing this with us at this stage. Praying for a full recovery. Xx
Thank you 🌸
I've been away, Leanne, so am only just hearing your news. I'm sending you positive thoughts and hoping that everything goes well with your treatment. I love your positive, proactive attitude and I'm sure that will help. The way the doctors didn't take your concerns seriously was shocking - well done you for following your instincts. Good luck with your self-help plans. You are amazing - and such a lovely presence on CZcams.
Thank you so much that really means a lot, I hope you’re well 🌸
Leanne, I was so shocked to hear your news. So glad you never stopped asking. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and had to go private for my answers. Sometimes we have to persevere for the answers we need. You are so brave to share your horrible news but don't be afraid to cry it really helps. I or should I say we all wish you a speedy recovery and a positive attitude and we know you can get through this with the love of your family and friends. God bless and good luck.❤️🌹
Thank you so much, I’m so pleased you’re okay now 🌸
You have got the right attitude. Carry on being strong and p1ositive. I know what you are going through
I had a mastectomy on 5 Dec 2019. Chem and Radio Therepy in 2020
So please take care xx
Thank you so much, I hope you’re feeling well now 🌸
I'm so sorry that it's taken this long to get a diagnosis but so thankful that you persisted when you felt that something was wrong. I haven't personally had breast cancer but two of my friends have and they both survived and have been cancer free for over ten years. One of them had to have a double mastectomy but she had a breast augmentation and is well and happy. Please don't worry about anaesthesia. I have had two major and one minor operations during the last nine years. Anaesthetics these days are so safe. I'm 72 years old and I was fine and you will be too. Just trust in your care team and you will get through this. I think your positive attitude is great and your plans for eating more healthily will definitely be beneficial for your overall wellbeing. Good luck sweetheart, we're all here thinking of you and supporting you. It must feel very overwhelming at the moment but believe me, everything will turn out fine for you. Lots of love. xx
Thank you so much for your lovely message, I’m so pleased to hear your friends are okay and well stories like this help me so much 🌸
@@Mrsleannejames I can't imagine how you're feeling right now but I think you'll begin to feel better once your treatment starts. I know you'll be well looked after and everything is going to turn out just fine. Keep that great positive attitude you have and look after yourself. Lots of love. xx
Oh bless you. Sadly my mum and I went through similar treatment and heard the same from everyone we saw. My mum went back and forth to her GP for maybe 4 years with pain, swelling and other symptoms, bleeding etc. She was told it was her own fault she was just overweight and it was IBS. She was dismissed at almost every turn until her GP refused to see her and called her a time waster. As we grew up I always heard my mum tell me how incredible they were as people and saved lives etc. So each time mum was sent away hearing it was nothing, I wondered the same. I went away with mum for 2 weeks and she barely ate any food at all. No carbs, sugar, diary just plain salad and water etc. She also had scans saying nothing. Eventually Boots The Chemist took her to the hospital and said they did not think it was IBS and asthma. They also said she had fluid in her lungs. Later that day she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer that had spread. They then had the cheek to say she should have came in faster. Then I felt bad for not paying for her scans privately. Sadly she passed away. I went through 3 wasted years with GPs and the hospital, being told I had IBS and not endometriosis. Let's say I spent nearly £9 k on private scans and surgery that saved my life and gave me answers. Even now my GPS have all the paperwork from surgery's etc they say "we need to do our own tests and can't go on this". I have never felt more like a time waster and humiliated. My mum started crying and thanking them for her diagnosis and believing her finally.... After being told stage 4. It makes me incredibly angry. Basically WE know our own bodies better than anyone else, and if GP or NHS ignore anything get private tests don't wait. I'm so sad to hear you've had to go through all that. Stay positive. Listen to your body and what it's telling you... Fatigue etc. Thank you for sharing your experience. A warning for others
Thank you so much, I’m so sorry to hear about you Mum, I’m sending my very best wishes 🌸

Dear Leanne, firstly can I say that your an incredible lady, to sit down and share this with us you are amazing.
I have though about you a lot during the last week or so that your channel has been quiet and I know you’ve been feeling out of sorts for a while.
You are a very strong minded lady and I admire you hugely.
I used to have a friend that suffered with PSO and she turned her life around with changing her diet to the type that your going to do. She eats a lot of raw foods, uses a lot of turmeric.
Please look after yourself leanne, you will get through this. Lots of love xxx
Thank you so much that really means a lot 🌸
Good for you not letting go of what was bothering you and going back… that was definitely your intuition talking to you… your guardian angels 👼
Thank you so much 🌸
Prayers for strength and peace as you and your family go through this. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🌸
Leanne I have been watching your channel for a while now, I know that you can beat this. You fought on for two years knowing that you knew there was something wrong with your body. You have also fought to lose over 4 1/half stone so if you can do that you can beat what ever life throws at you. If you do not post again before Christmas please know that you are in all of your followers thoughts. Have a wonderful Christmas enjoy your children and your husband and fight on girl fight on X
Thank you so much that really does mean a lot, I hope you have a lovely Christmas 🌸
What a very brave and positive lady you are, you have such a wonderful family and everything to look forward to and I send you lot of love and hope x
Thank you so much 🌸
This was just recommended to me by CZcams, and I'm so glad you advocated for yourself! I just had some biopsies taken for a problem area, and the doctor who took the samples said that being on top of your own health care is so important. Keep strong!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me, I’m wishing you all the very best for your biopsy results 🌸
Oh Leanne sending you (((hugs))) keeping everything crossed xx
Thank you so much 🌸
Leanne, I just want to reach out to you and send you all my love 💓
I've followed your journey from the start, and got to know just how lovely you are.
So glad you were persistent, we need to speak up when we know we've not been properly heard.
Will follow your food diaries with interest as I have Atrial Fibrillation and need to change to a much healthier diet.
Take care Love ❤
Xxxx

Get well soon. My very best wishes for a speedy recovery. x
Thank you 🌸
Firstly, sorry about your diagnosis. we really are the experts of our own bodies. You are proof of this. I am glad you made the doctors tune into your concerns even if they didn't want to. All the best with the journey towards becoming cancer free.
Thank you so much 🌸
I think the best thing you can do for yourself is eliminate sugar Leanne. Once you stop buying those snacks ie skinny crunch, cakes, biscuits etc your have more to spend on good quality food stuff
I use natural honey, dates, maple syrup, dried figs and I keep away from anything with artificial sweeteners, GMOs, processed foods, low fat foods etc
I eat full fat as well
This is how I lost my weight
Your an amazing lady and thank you for telling your story as you will help so many out there love ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, I’ve really focussed on taking that sugar out of my diet this week and so far so good 🌸
Early diagnosis is key and you are already on the road to health, you can do this!
Thank you so much 🌸
I just ran across this video. My wife, 52 years old at the time, went in for a routine physical in 2018. We never get any extra tests but her doctor told her to get a mammogram. Now! She went that day and they discovered a soft mass in a breast. It was cancerous. It was a large mass but it had not yet spread beyond the breast. She had a double mastectomy followed by a series of chemo. The treatments lasted over a year. She was cancer free after this but goes in every 6 months for screenings, watching for the cancer to return. Cancer runs in her family; she has 6 siblings, 3 of whom have cancer right now with one being terminal.
I am appalled at the way the doctors delayed your diagnosis for over two freakin' years! They always stress early detection, as they should, yet they practically blew you off when you tried to get help. Thanks for the video and I will be anxious to see how things progress!
Hi Dale, thank you so much for taking the time to write this, I’m sorry to hear what you and your wife went through but I’m pleased to hear she is well now and it’s great she is getting regular checks, I’ve been told that I will have annual scans now which is good I’m actually 10 years below the age for routine scans so I’m relieved it’s been detected now! Thank you for watching 🌸
Thank you so much for posting this. My mother has had cancer for a few years (different type) and I would not wish it upon anyone. I happy you were able to go back and listen to your gut. Praying for your recovery ❤️🩹
I’m sorry to hear about your mother I really am, thank you for taking the time to watch and write this, I’m sending you my very best wishes 🌸
I was getting ready to suggest you watch Dr. Berg! So glad you do. Specially watch his interviews with people who tackled stage 4 cancer and what they did. Go on the keto diet and stop all processed foods. If it comes in a box, then don't eat it. The best thing you can do is fast. Watch all of Dr. Berg's videos on fasting
Thank you I did actually watch those interviews already such an interesting watch! I do think he talks a lot of sense. Thank you for watching 🌸
I'm sorry about your diagnosis but I love your positivity keep fighting girl xx
Thank you so much 🌸
May God be with you. I just found your channel. I clicked on it because of the title of chorus. I am familiar with cancer right now because my 14 year old when she was 13 was diagnosed with leukemia this past August. If you pray for her I will add you to my prayers every day for those that pray for her. I always pray for the people their concerns and their loved ones. May God go with you
Thank you, I’m so sorry to hear that news I’m sending you my very best wishes 🌸
You are proof re how important it is to be your own patient advocate. Wishing you the best. You will do just fine.
Thank you so much 🌸
Sending all the love and prayers from Canada. ❤️❤️

Wishing you so much love and strength for your journey. My mum was diagnosed end of April. Had a lumpectomy in June, finished chemo and will be starting radiotherapy tomorrow. It’s a harrrrrd journey, but take it day by day, moment by moment. You will likely be surprised by just how strong you are 💖
Thank you so much, I’m sorry to hear about your Mum I’m sending you both my very best wishes for Radiotherapy 🌸
Stay positive that helps I had the same as you, with lumpectomy radiotherapy and tamoxifen. You will get through this x ❤
That sounds exactly the same as mine, thank you so much I hope you’re feeling well now 🌸
I’m so sorry you have gone through such a difficult and scary time. Now you are in the system hopefully you will be treated promptly and this gets sorted out. Sending very best wishes to you and your family.
Thank you so much 🌸
Hi Leanne, I am so sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. I hope your operation goes well in January and that you go on to make a full recovery ❤
Thank you so much 🌸
this just showed up in my recommended. i have ms, and it took way too long for a doctor to take me seriously when i told them things were going wrong. i have heard so many stories regarding the medical systems and every single one of them seem to start with the same thing --- no one took me seriously --- or something along those lines. its quite infuriating. i do hope you the best of luck. stay positive, keep advocating for yourself, and write everything down :) you got this.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and write it means a lot, I hope you’re well 🌸
