We’d love to hear from you: what was the biggest lesson you learned in your own cancer diagnosis? Leave us a comment below 👇
Biggest lessons I have learned from my cancer diagnosis are that I have no fear of death (Faith in God), people can be so surprising kind and the side effects of cancer treatment never seem to end for me anyway (it’s been five years since my diagnosis). Judy. 🇨🇦
Monday morning quarter backing is easy. Looking back I had all the symptoms for over a year. They would think it's allergies or whatever. The list of symptons just got longer and longer. I happened to get a two year checkup for a previous operation which involved getting a new CT to check my AAA stint. They noticed something suspicious and suggested a Pet Scan. Took me two months challenging both my PCP and Insurance company to get a Pet Scan scheduled. Stage 4 lung cancer. Took biopsy to confirm and I had Metastasized also. So start Chemo tomorrow. There is no cure for me, just maybe drag it out a little bit.
Lesson I learned is I wish I had connected the dots. PCP can't connect all the dots in a 10 minute visit monthly!
I love Paige's story of survival. The support team she has is so important. Wish you a very happy life.
God bless and keep you safe.
I'm shocked at the numbers of serious illnesses,at various stages, occuring now and in recent years. Five ppl I know, were just living, normal n healthy. No excessive anything. Just young n normal,like this brave lady.
Now they are gone! Just unreal. Not one of them had family history of respective diseases. I was told this. So v sad. I wish EVERYONE here the very best.
Thank you for sharing youre journey -
I'm trully angry with this horrible desease.
The hardest journeys are given to the sweetest souls... 💐💕
Mass is found in the chests a lot with Acute Leukemia or '' Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma''. It usually manifests as dyspnea, '' Shortness of breath'' from a buildup of cancerous Lymph nodes known as a '' Mediastinal Mass''.
My dad had large B cell non-hodgkins lymphoma twice. He was in remission for 7 years before it came back, & i was with him 24 hours per day for his last 10 months. I used to work at Hoag Hospital & have been a patient there a few times too.
Found out this year I have that myself. Anxiously awaiting chemo. This will be R-Pola-CHP.
Hodgkins disease has been researched and they have come so far with preserving life . In all aspects of cancer it's getting better every single day
keep kicking ass

Thank u for sharing
Take care n prayers 🙏❤️
Thanks for sharing your journey beautiful 😍
Recently diagnosed with S4 lung cancer I watch all the videos I can to accumulate knowledge for my coming battle. And to a degree I appreciate them. However I have trouble getting my arms around sharing ones disease with family, friends, social media, strangers, etc. Life in general can be challenging and I'm not going to pile my problems onto others. Seems selfish to me
Night sweats... Classic symptom. 😬
Peace
How beautiful she is
She is real fighter with beautiful soul.

So now I'm starting car t .in 3 weeks they come back and infuse me . Should be interesting either way . I'm no longer scared of death
