My mother has type two stomach cancer and they think they've found breast cancer

[lanaindiana]

@pinkpunkkid90 Aww, I hope she gets some good treatments and I will be praying for her. Hugs to both of you.

Love xoxoxoxox

I'm so glad you made this! It was really cool to see the machine and everything. I'm only 18, so I have a while before I go have one done, but I've always been curious about the whole mammogram process. haha :)

[lanaindiana]

@you2berules I agree! The fear of the unknown is the biggest fear of all.

I just hope there is a cure for ALL cancers soon. Stay Fabulous! xox

Hi Lana. It has been so long since I have had a moment to watch any videos, but finally today after months I have taken the time. Question & I know this is TMI...for those that have breast implants behind the muscle,is it possible, can it damage and are the results still inconclusive. I would feel like telling someone to google, but there are a million answers online. I am 35 and my grandma passed at 59 of BC after being told she had allergies for 1 yr. I am so nervous about the procedure.

@macface2adore I just got off the phone with my super-smart brother who is a anesthesiologist and asked him your question. He told me that there is a screening method using MRI that you lie face down using resonance imaging and they can see perfectly what is going on and another that uses a dye to help detect anything going on in front of and behind the muscle.

I truly hope this helps. Get screened because I for one want you here a very long time. Smooches ❤

Lana, you're a wonderful, inspirational and comical person; You can brighten my day with just one video, bring tears to my eyes in others, and make me almost piss my pants when you make the funniest jokes! I love watching your videos, please continue to do so! Thanks a lot for this very helpful and informative video.

I would much prefer thermography. Much safer, more comfortable and more accurate.

@pinkpunkkid90 sorry to hear that, read everything to help Cancer, such as what to eat, what vitamins to take seriously, I wish we had done it now my mother has Stage 4. God bless you and your family.

It was painful for me! The technician asked me to hold my breath, no problem because I couldn't breathe!

Great video Lana! It might be unpleasant, but the results definitely pay off in the end with early prevention. Keep spreading the word - you're doing an amazing job!

Thank You soo soo much for posting this! Before I moved my best friend and I would do this icky womanly things together, and treat ourselves to lunch and margaritas afterwords. My mother had breast cancer youger than I am today that ended in a double masectomy. Its been out of sight out of mind and I really need to do it, but since I was diagnosed with a rare blood disease and have been off of work for a couple of months, been in a fog...but your video's have been a huge pick me up! xo

Good job Lana... helps with the curiosity. I'm 41 and will definitely book mine. Just neglect the slightly unpleasant things in life sometimes. But, if you can make the effort, so can I. haha. xoxox love ya
