🌡️ I'll walk you through the early days when I was plagued by fatigue, an unshakable cough, night sweats that drenched my sheets, weight loss, and shortness of breath. These symptoms, seemingly innocuous on their own, came together to form a terrifying picture that led me to seek medical attention.
🔍 It's crucial to understand that these symptoms can be easily dismissed, but they can also be the red flags that something more sinister is at play. By sharing my experience, I hope to empower you to pay attention to your body and seek help if you or a loved one encounter similar signs.
💪 Through this video, I aim to offer support, comfort, and a sense of community for those who may be on a similar journey. I'll discuss how I coped with the fear and uncertainty, the importance of timely diagnosis, and the support system that helped me through the toughest times.

I have breast cancer. Diagnosed 3/31/23. 2 surgeries, radiation, hormone blockers. Hubby has had heart failure for 20 years. Had always prioritized his well being and my kids over my own. My cancer has taught me the same, I learned I need to take care of my own health, my own needs first. I used to be riddled with anxiety. Not anymore, it’s almost gone. Maybe this made me realize I’m stronger than I thought I was. Sending you love and prayers❤

Cancer. Does not discriminate. My late hubby, he received his chemo at MD Anderson in Houston, TX. I was surprised by the amount of people who were also there for the same reason…the ages of little ones broke my heart. Be strong and positive…I will pray for you and your recovery. ❤

I'm sorry for what you went through. But you are so strong.

Thank you for sharing. I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma Stage 4. I also experienced a cough, back pain, fatigue, as well as nose bleeds, dizziness, weight loss, and an intensely itchy and widespread rash all over my body. Have you heard of The Patient Story on YouTube? I recently shared my story with them. I hope you're well now? 🤔

I could listen to you all day. I pray you beat this cancer. I am a cancer survivor and pray you beat it as well!

That you do have lymphoma, which seems so unbelievable, because you are a young, active, healthy person. You are a beautiful, strong woman and I believe you will pull through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
-
I am praying for your recovery. You are very on top of your treatment and have a great outlook. Keep it going!!
-
Youtube had me watching cancer journeys long before you began yours, and its truly different hearing it from someone who is part of the family!

My niece received a lymphoma diagnosis at the age of twenty five, she also was very healthy , and a nurse. It started with a cough, and a rash. She received lots of treatment, and a bone marrow transplant. But sadly passed away from severe GVHD at the age of 30 years old.

I have been following several young people in their 30's with stage 4 cancer. I will pray for you. I am very sorry.

I have been following three young ladies in their 30’s who were so very active, mothers and wives and worked a full time job and boom started having symptoms similar to yours and yes, they were diagnosed with stage 4 non smokers lung cancer and one with melanoma. One with stage 4 colon cancer; Dx at age 28.

Most of us take supplements on a daily basis. One just has to hope they aren't causing various cancers. In the 50's 60's 70's these cancers were almost unheard of.
-
You are soooo Beautiful!!! Praying for you and thank you for sharing!!! ❤️
-
I've noticed that so many people's cancer stories include them saying they were exercising or working out too much prior. I have a sneaking suspicion that over stressing the body can trigger cancer.
-
I am going to pray for you and your family. Praying for full healing, in the name of Jesus.
