Love the name Peachy Wellbeing! I'm a Hodgkin survivor, Laura. Had the ABVD in 2015, then RICE in 2016. Have been in remission since 2017. But I'm a man, and I recently read an article that the ABVD in women can actually increase fertility rather than decrease it. Please do look into this! Ask your doctor. As for embracing the whole experience, I absolutely agree. I met people and had positive experiences I wouldn't have had if I hadn't gotten sick. Incredible dedicated doctors, nurses and hospital staff. A whole world opened to me as a result of Hodgkin's.
Thank you for your comments, I hope you continue to be well. I agree that the hospital staff, doctors and nurses are incredible. I am 3.5 years in remission now and doing great. Sending my best wishes to you.
Laura you are an absolute inspiration ✨ I’ve always been inspired by you but your strength, courage and commitment to helping others with their own health and well-being even during such a difficult time is absolutely amazing. Good for you Laura! I know you’ll come out of this even stronger than ever 💕😘 here for you always 🤗
You did a very good job of explaining your diagnosis. You seem very bright and very kind. Praying you heal swiftly and remember to juice your veggies beauty!
Thank you very much for such an informative video. Im also diagnosed with hodgkin lymphoma stage- iv & going through chemotherapy for last five months.
Wishing you all the best with your treatment Muhammad. I'm now 3 years 6 months in remission, and many others have a similar success story. Keep up the self-care and be kind to yourself.
Thank you Teresa ☺️ Glad to say I'm in remission now and feeling good! The lovely fox is from 'WhatWeDo' in Copenhagen, they sell their artwork on Etsy under Faunascapes www.etsy.com/uk/shop/faunascapes?ref=ss_profile
Can I ask you how big the lump was? And was it very obvious/visible or did you have to press down to feel it/notice it was there? Thank you and I’m glad you are doing so well now!
Hi Mick it wasn't obviously visible but I could feel it by pressing lightly... it's hard to describe the size, but I'd say probably a large grape size. Apparently what I could feel was just one end of the mediastinal mass. If in doubt, always just check with your GP. I hope this helps and I wish you well, whatever your reasons for asking.
Doctor Kanayo Peterson's CZcams channel is forever etched in my memory, I wish to thank you for helping me relieve my hiv and aids symptoms with your herbal medicine for two weeks. Through you, I became hopeful that I could live again.
Hi Iman thanks for your comment. It was about the size of a grape I'd say, but later found out that was just the top of the mass. I waited a few weeks before seeing the doctor but now I would suggest if you have a lump of any size at the base of your throat then get it checked ASAP....most of the time it's nothing but it's better to know either way.
Is there a reason you’ve chosen to go the chemo route?? I was expecting to hear about the alternative health modalities you were going to do since you’re aware and supportive of natural healing. I’m having lymphoma or possible malignant ovarian cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. I pray for the best, but if I am not soo fortunate, there’s no way I will do chemo. The cancer takes up the glucose (sugar) because that’s what feeds it, and hence why diet is soo important to health in general and even more so when supporting the body through healing. Prayers for a full recovery!
Having lymphoma or ovarian cancer metastasis is being *investigated* And chemo is just as damaging to the body as radiation, depending on the type of chemo. Both increase your chances of further cancer down the road. The 5-year remission rates are misleading because if you look at the stats after those 5 years, it’s frightening. There’s a few exceptions however.
Thanks for commenting Sarah. I think your question is a really important one for anyone who is faced with cancer. My approach to any healing is holistic and in my opinion a holistic approach: - considers the mind, body and soul as one - reflects on all aspects of a person's life - looks at integrating complementary/natural healing (ancient wisdom) and conventional medicine (biomedical approaches) as I believe they both have their place. The healing modalities I take on board (and talk a little about in my later videos) are; 1. Good nutrition - including cutting down or completely cutting out refined sugars is definitely something I did and would recommend for any ailment and really just for general health to anyone. Increasing vegetable, fruit and grain intake and going back to basics (cutting out any pre-packaged foods). Cutting out alcohol. 2. The mind - identifying old thought patterns and unconscious blockages which can suppress the body and cause dis-ease. Adopting new healthier patterns with the help of affirmations. Calming the mind with meditation and mindfulness, which also reduces stress on the body. 3. Supplementation - CBD oil and apricot kernels have great feedback. Taking B vits and Selenium to help the immune system. 4. Therapies - so many to mention but energy therapies such as Reiki, Crystal therapies, acupuncture are amazing. 5. Belief/faith - what you believe will happen can have a strong effect on what does happen. Personally I felt chemo was the right path for me and all the above mentioned helped me to cope with chemo and is now helping with my recovery. I do believe that cancer can be prevented, reduced, or even eventually removed with natural approaches, but I went with my gut feelings and the mass I had was getting bigger and that was putting my body at risk as it was very close to vital arteries. I was already eating well and had a good lifestyle. Chemo has good short and long term results with Lymphoma. On reflection, I decided it was the right way to go. I believe there is so much that is worth trying and different things help different people, it's about finding what is right for you and empowering yourself to make that decision. I fully respect that - after all it is your body. Go with your heart and wishing you all the best with your treatment. Love x
Peachy Wellbeing I can understand deciding to go with chemo since you were already doing many of the things that people often start with when trying to avoid chemo. I’m sure I would consider the same if I were in the same place (I on the other hand could make healthier choices in several areas) I’ve watched too many people succumb to chemo when they had been doing well prior. It just took its toll on them. My best friends father had lymphoma and was given weeks to live. He had chemo initially, but it came back with a vengeance. The chemo left him basically a skeleton 😔 In my small town, we have a very wise and intelligent man who invented what he called a molecular enhancer. It’s since been replicated, although I don’t know how others compare. Anywho, my friends father is alive and well today because of it. It was his last hope. It doesn’t cure the cancer-it supports the body at a cellular level to self repair. I always share it with others going through cancer because some people don’t even know other modalities are out there. I’m glad to hear that you are doing well! I didn’t notice that this was a while ago. Everyone has their own journey to take and I didn’t mean to bring shame o your choices. I simply wasn’t expecting you to say you were going to do chemo. I apologize if it came across any other way. I wouldn’t do chemo as my first resort, but I would if other approaches were not working. I have littles and I couldn’t imagine not trying everything before letting things take their course. Continued prayers for health and a cheerful heart ❤️
It'd be messed up if the crystals gave you the cancer:( You could just be positive and always trek somewhere instead of using those (scary) crystals. Being active(jogging, going up some mountain lol) and eating well usually helps cancer survivors.

How to overcome the weekness caused by chemotherapy. Im feeling pain in my arms & legs after 5 cycles of ABVD chemotherapy..!!

Thanks for your story. Were you in pain at all before your diagnosis?
Hi Anna thank you for your message. No, I wasn't in any pain at all before/during diagnosis.
Was ur lump smaller than a cherry tomato? Did u wait a while or did u check it immediately? Also... ure so calm... we need more people like u!
Hi Iman thanks for your comment. It was about the size of a grape I'd say, but later found out that was just the top of the mass. I waited a few weeks before seeing the doctor but now I would suggest if you have a lump of any size at the base of your throat then get it checked ASAP....most of the time it's nothing but it's better to know either way.
Are you on instagram? ? I needed to talk . Please help

@@Sara-rr1lu but if you avoid chemo,you will probably live shorter.
?

Thanks Sheree, I already hike like a crazy lady up those mountains, keep a positive mindset and eat a nutrient rich diet.
