Facing My Fears: Health Update & Life Changes what going on with Confessions of a Dollar Tree Addict

Published 2024-07-18
Welcome back to Confessions of a Dollar Tree Addict! Today's video is a departure from our usual hauls as I share some personal updates. Since my husband's recent passing, life has brought unexpected challenges. I've been a caretaker for so long that I neglected my own health, skipping mammograms for four years. Recently, I discovered a large lump in my breast and underwent a.few biopsies. Now, I'm in the nerve-wracking waiting period for the results. Join me as I navigate this journey and share my fears and hopes with you. Your support means the world to me during this difficult time.

    Marina, my beautiful Sis. God Always gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers. Stay positive. We love you so very much โค๏ธ
  • Marina, a few months ago my daughter had a lump and we had to go in for a biopsy. I was so scared. I lost my son to Diabetes/flu in February 2020 and my Mother in August 2020. I did not want to loose her too. Being strong for her was not easy at all but it had to be done. I went into prayer. I gave it to God. I kept the faith that she would be ok. The days between the biopsy and the results were long but finally the results came and were negative. I praised God for him not putting us in the position to loose her. I send prayers, hugs and friend love to you and Christopher.
  • Marina thank you for letting us be here for you during this difficult time. Praying for you my friend. It's OK to be afraid you are human but you are never alone. God's got you and Christopher. And we are here for you always sending love and prayers ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป my dear โค๏ธ

    Oh Marina ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” you know my heart is with you always. I'm so glad you're keeping up with these appointments. I wish I was there to help you. I'm so grateful you're here Marina. You're truly an incredible woman! Sending all my loving energy to you and Chris.

    Marina, my heart goes out to you with all that is going on in your life. I pray for God's healing and calmness for you. I will also include your son in my prayers ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
  • I have been praying for you and Chris (and John when he was alive) for at least 2 years now Marina. We got you Marina. I just had a scare myself and the waiting is very difficult. But I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, how powerful prayer is. Sometimes stress brings out stuff like lumps in our body because it is on overload. And you have been on overload for over 2 years now with John's accident and death, Chris' health issues, your health issues, your Aunt's accident and all the bullshit from some of your fallen friends. So it's extremely important that you practice meditation every single day. And when you do always keep your focus on beautiful images and thoughts. Slow down and sit with your fears. Let them out slowly. It's very scary to relinquish control. But this is your season and your moment; be a caregiver to yourself. Breath, breath and trust that all will go according to God's plan. We love you. And if you need to take time off from YouTube, then so be it.

    Marina, sending prayers that you receive a benign report. The waiting for the results is such a hard, nerve-wracking experience (been there and done that). Please keep us posted and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    You are in my prayers Marina. Iโ€™m so sorry you are going through all of this. Sending you lots of hugs and much love.
  • I just prayed for you to be healed and for you and your son. I will keep you on my little prayer chain. I had a few scares with cancer and my breasts and uterus. I had a partial hysterectomy 4 years ago. It was rough. I held on to God and my family and true friends. I am so sorry you both have been through all this, Marina. You are such a light in this dark world. We love you Lady. Sending you hugs and prayers PS- Thank you for sharing this with us and your life. I know it's so hard, but we all have each other, and you can lean on us as well. God bless ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–โœ๏ธ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿซ‚
  • Marina, Always feel free to bond with us. We are a support sisterhood. Do not hold things inside. We love you.
  • Oh, Marina! Youโ€™ve had your share of heartache the past few weeks/months and certainly did not need this! I am sending positive thoughts your way and I pray that you will be ok. Take care of yourself and Chris and know that I will be thinking of you. Please keep us updated as much as you can. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ
  • Dearest it's normal to feel afraid, you are human and a sensitive person. You positively have my prayers and well wishes. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ You've been through so much, it hurts to see you further traumatized but I'm grateful you shared with us. Keep taking one day at a time and keep the faith. Love ya my friend! โค
  • Hi Marina, Good for you, taking care of you! I think with the pandemic, many women missed mammograms. Hospitals were not scheduling them. Keeping you and Chris in my thoughts and prayers. God is good! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’
  • @Susan_1
    Praying for you and Christopher. I pray that God will heal anything that might be wrong. Christopher needs his mom and his mom needs Christopher โค๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ

    Hello Marina, Praying for you and Chris. Do not be afraid. Jesus has his arms wide open. "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest" - Matthew 11:28

    Oh Marina, Iโ€™m so sorry that you are going through this. I am sending prayers for healing and a negative report. Praying for you and Christopher. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™โค๏ธโค๏ธ
  • Yes! Praise the Lord you were able to get to a doctor! Itโ€™s normal to be afraid. Lord continue to hold Marina and Chris in the palm of your almighty hands!
  • @emdm7475
    Gorgeous soul don't be afraid of what hasn't happened yet. Give all your worries and fear to God. No matter what the results are; you are not alone. Healing prayers for you and strength and understanding for Chris.
  • Weโ€™re so much alike in the aspect of taking care of others & neglect ourselves. I hate having to go to the doctor myself. TAKE CARE. โค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ
