Tiffany started having rib pain but thought it was just a pulled muscle. She then went on a hiking trip and struggled to breathe, feeling short of breath. A lingering cough led to tests and no answers. After a lung collapse and hospitalization, she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer at 38 with no smoking history or risk factors.

DO YOU WANT TO POSSIBLY SAVE THIS WOMANS LIFE?
Did you get the COVID vaccine?
My step mom had cancer over 20 years ago. She had a lung removed. She just turned 94. Don’t give up hope.
We need more stories like your mother’s. Thank you for sharing.
Which lung right or left?
Whatever you do, do not give up. Hold God to his Word. God is faithful to his word.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If they can catch it early, it’s probably not a death sentence. that was pretty bad though. She had to have a whole lung removed. Wow, that’s amazing. My father died of cancer about 20 years ago started with a lung, but it metastasized. They removed parts of one of his lungs. The poor man went through so much pain. I wouldn’t wish it on a worst enemy. He was a great man.
It would not have been stage 4 lung cancer then. That is treatable and not curable. Patients are fortunate to survive 5 years on current treatments.
I have a similar story, I was an ER nurse, working part time as a set medic on a movie location. I developed a weird cough that I knew wasn’t COVID because I had to take a test every 48 hours to work on the set. End of October 2020, start of COVID crisis. Had an X-ray, showed a change, ct showed a mass. Bronchoscope inconclusive , MRI, finally got an email on my hospital portal on Christmas eve. Lung cancer. Merry Christmas. January, r sided robotic bilobectomy in Denver. 4 months of chemotherapy included 4 critical care admits for sepsis (SIRS) including 2 emergency ambulance rides. Interstitial lung disease, A-fib. A year 2021 in the hospital or bed on O’s. Another year getting out of bed and working towards recovery. My wife and daughter wouldn’t let me die and neither would my colleagues, doc’s and fellow nurses. Now I’m in Mexico living on the beach, doing fine. 2 years clear. Wish you the best.
I’m so happy to read your story. 💕
Did you take any Covid vaccinations or boosters?
I wish you Many Many more Clear years living on the beach in Mexico 🌞❤️🩹

Working in the medical field and on a movie set should answer that question.
I’m am so thankful that you shared your experience and I am glad you got through it. My question is the after effects of chemo. Did it cause damage to your kidneys?
Going through it with my sis right now. The cancer has spread pretty much everywhere now in just a few months from discovery. Its just a matter of days. She at home with hospice currently. Bless those hospice workers.
Edit...she passed 3 days ago. R.I.P sis.
Aww sorry to hear that, 😔
Praying 🙏 for you and your family
My condolences on the loss of your sister.
Awe 😥 So sorry for the loss of your sister. Sisters are so special. I hope your life of memories with each other shine through and keep you going at this time.
I hope she is at peace and she spent quality time with you before she passed. Sorry xxx
The more I read these stories, the more I realise life is a complete lottery. God bless everyone battling illness.
there's nothing lottery about being infected with a bio weapon then at the same time being mandated to take a bio weapon injection. both destroy your health and life. this is happening to loads of people who took the bio weapon injection.
Stress can break down our cells. Anything that enters our body and blood stream can break down those cells. Sugar is a huge culprit that Drs don’t talk about. But cancer cells feed off of sugar. 😮 people don’t eat real foods anymore. They eat processed junk foods. Diet sodas are the worst ! Some sunscreens that have chemicals in them that .. get this.. cause cancer !!! Ugh !
well said
Dear RangerWhite, I am every day trying to get more accepting of the idea that one day we all pass to the next life; we will all walk this path one day. Life is a lottery, eternal life is not.
Please read The Gospel of John -1st Chp, as it reveals who Christ was and is. Call on Him please Paul, He will meet you and take you home, regardless of whatever has happened in our lives.
See below, Thief on the cross, saw that he was not perfect, saw that JEsus was, knew that he faced death within few hours and asked JEsus to take him home..
Please read....
39 One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Don’t you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation (face imminent death)? 41 And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong (saw Christ's perfection).” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom (he's asking for Jesus to make him right with God The Father).” 43 And Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
Roman's 10:9 'if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus (jesus is The Christ - God in Flesh) and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.'
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by Him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
...who was 'The Word'?? It is revealed in Verse 14...
v14 And the Word was made flesh (human), and dwelt among us (walked on earth), (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
If you can't believe, struggle to believe, ask God 'If you are there, I would love to know you, please speak to me, through these scriptures, which right now I don't believe, or please visit me in a dream...ask God to give you faith'
God bless you, I hope to meet you in heaven.
Yup💯
Hello
I am a 21 year survivor, 57 bladder cancer, metastasized to lung. I was told that I may get two years, it has been 20 years since I was told that. I has been a very rough 21 years, but I will take it anyway I can get it. Miracles do happen.
You will be in my prayers and positive thoughts. ❤
God bless
Amen.

It blows my mind that in this day and age, medicine is so crazy slow when it comes to diagnosing cancer.
because its a cash cow for the gov and big pharma as sad as it is they want to treat not cure
I t blows my mind in this age and day that doctors keep misdiagnosing cancers. Look how long it took Fran Drescher to get a diagnosis!:(
It's an industry which concerns itself with profit.
We have a government that steals are money, provokes wars, arrests political opponents and your surprised at incompetence in the medical field, wake up
Treament makes money, cures dont. Keep taking those drugs, and treatment. it makes shareholders happy.
My brother-in-law was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer fourteen years ago. He has probably had every treatment available and is still going strong. There is real hope.
So happy to hear this I have stage 4 lung cancer and I have been through the chemo now I’m on Keytruda every 3 weeks. They said 2 - 5 years glad to hear there is hope I could live longer. I’m only 71 and would love to live to be 91…..😊
I pray he knows Jesus and follows Him. None of us can make it to Heaven without Him.
@@TB-jq5cr get on Ivermectin and Fenbendazole!!!!! Look up Joe Tippin protocol. Its helping so many people!
the sudden world wide surge of cancer cases is disturbing .I wish you all well
Covid jabs. Period.
BINGO! Turbo cancers
Yes these are young healthy type people too, not normal at all.
Im 68 and was diagnosed with breast cancer at 40. Stage 3, had chemo and radium but continued my daily life like i always did. My surgeon had free meditation classes for his patients so i learned how to meditate. I remember friends and family treating me like i was dieing. That made me more determined not to. Im cancer free and thank god for every day. Stay strong and stubborn. ❤
That’s wonderful! Stay strong!!
Well done you 👍👍👍👍❤
There is so much money earned from this, that i feel patients fears are exploited, patients are harmed more then helped, and also a lot of information is suppressed and withheld. I can't accept cancer narratives easily. When i had a growing myoma once in my uterus, i did only one thing- i started avoiding the doctor- because i think in nature illness is often like a tide, it comes and goes, with the changing seasons, and the body does age, the organs function will deteriorate naturally. In some cases cancer strengthens the function of organs, so i hesitate to remove what mother nature grew and gifted. I don't need to fit into the doctors definition of being healthy, and being alive for 6+ years is proof that being unbothered about ones own health is a legit survival strategy. One day i will have to accept death either way. I am not sure what happens in afterlife, only that several people of whom i know that they are dead, met me through dreams to spend time with me. Just yesterday my dead fathers ex girlfriend afterlife-spirit was in my backyard, and she said her good bye to then enter heaven, and i saw several lines of people all headed for my house. And i talked to them, and was happy to see that they were headed towards a big heavenly gate that spans from my left neighbor to my right neighbor, and my house developed fast into some sort of third pillar in the middle. I congratulated them for entering heaven, although there was a guy who was rejected. He returned in the appearance of a devil, to run and hide in shame. I told him to trust me, because in dreams i can bless people so i gave him back his human appearance, and he tried a second time but failed again.. so i said.. maybe you should spend some time in afterlife, before going for a third attempt, with that amount of anger he won't be able to pass... all good things are 3, and i said to not give up, one day heaven will accept him. Well i was a bit curious so i followed him, but boy, he got annoyed... and tztz,... i soon saw he had some severe issues. Like paranoia and such against people who resolve cancer by looking at psychosomatic root causes, and also he slandered my favourite cancer specialist, who wrote a book about it. He was shamed for a reason, and then i thought... well with that nasty mindset, no wonder he got kicked out and shamed.

My husband just completed his third chemo session for small cell stage 4 lung cancer. He’s terminal but he’s doing great, we are praying for at least another year max 5 if anyone can beat it it’ll be him. Keep the hope alive. Miracles happen. Sending love and prayers.
look into ivermectin or horse dewormer. its parasites. do some research people are curing the lung cancer with parasite killers
he has nothing to lose
Search about Joe Dispensa , he has videos and other people are making videos with his material too. He has books and also offers retreats but people could use free available videos and meditation videos. Many people is healing by using his material.

My lung cancer stage 4 ( NSCLC ALK POSITIVE) journey started 8/2016. Pulmonary doc who performed procedure to remove fluid and thoracic surgeon who sealed the plural space and did biopsy, gave me a grim outlook. Maybe 6 months, go get your affairs in order. On my first on oncology appointment, I was offered palliative care, 😊to make me comfortable. I was in post procedure stage, tubes removed, and was functioning well on my own. I said thanks no thanks, I will let things evolve and I do not want to be numb, spacey from pain meds, I want to remain clear headed. I was 64, never smoked, non drinker, led clean life and exercised. I complained of symptoms to primary doctor year earlier. I had an chest X-ray. Both radiologist and primary missed it. At diagnosis year later, which started again at primary’s, another chest X-ray, there was a 10cm growth in between low and middle lobe, and so much fluid buildup, which was causing me to not be able to walk across a room without becoming short of breath. Primary called to give me the results of X-ray, told me to get myself to ER immediately, things can get very, very ugly real soon. That 10 cm growth did not happen in a year, it took years to grow.
Anyway, I took no meds for 10 first months, and researched like mad. I read medical papers, journals, clinical trials, boy, I learned a lot. I got rid of the primary. At about 10-11 months no meds, I was doing well, able to take care of myself, and looked and felt better than anyone expected. At that time oncologist who has been doing monthly blood works, put me on meds for my type of mutation. I took full dose for about 2 weeks and it nearly killed my liver. So 6 -8 weeks to heal the liver and gave me next med for my mutation. By now I’ve had 3 meds, and am currently having symptoms and tested, have new mutations, current med is not working. But 6/2016 to date 1/2024, I am here, 7.5 yrs later. 72 yr old female, living alone, taking care of all my needs, active enough to garden, exercise hard, but only in the pool, can’t do it on land, get out of breath. I cook my meals, always tweak ingredients, add or subtract, and keep on researching. I fast 3 to 4.5 days before each month’s blood work. I tell my oncologist I am planting young fruit trees in pots, expecting to be here to enjoy the fruit. You are young, have a family and so much living to do. Don’t live in fear! Fear will kill you before the disease. Learn as much as you can about your type of cancer, mutations. I learned from listening to oncology lecture by a specialist on my type of lung cancer, that 2/3 of her patients can’t handle full dose of meds. I never took a full dose again(oral chemo). Most I would take was 1/2 and when I had sufficient improvement, held steady, I reduced dose to 1/4. I am my own advocate😊. I know how I feel, how I function, recognize when there I changes. I don’t agree to frequent scans. Too much unnecessary radiation. Trust your medical team, but do verify, read, listen to other medical specialists, plenty out there doing public service, via podcasts and recordings of medical lectures.
I wish you the best. Be positive, mentally and physically active, be strong. Don’t let your immediate circle of loved ones and friends see you as “cancer” patient, always starting conversation with asking how you feel😊. You are still the same person you were before diagnosis. Do and talk with them about things other than cancer. Don’t let cancer dominate every minute of your day. I shared my diagnosis with only 3-4 immediate family members for almost 4 years. That helped me to not have to deal with everyone’s pity look on their faces and never ending questions of how I feel, plus everyone sharing who they knew that had cancer and who survived or who died.
Every cell in your body is listening and reacting to your thoughts. Stay calm, get plenty of rest and sleep, outdoor time. Check vitamin D levels and supplement if below 50. I keep mine at 80-95. Was 17 at diagnosis. Research shows that large number of cancer diagnosed patients had low levels at diagnosis.
Sending positive vibes your way. I know you can do this😊
So you were 17 when diagnosed with low vit d?
Thank you for your story. Going through it with my dear mom. Your story gives hope. Best of luck
You are amazing! I wish you all the Best!
What were your simtoms?

Great sir 👏....now I need whole story of you like how you started your journey to how you defeating cancer 👍
Cancer is so horrible. I'm stage 1b pancreatic. I don't care about myself, but this has put my wife through hell. This tests a relationship. Some divorce over this. My wife slept at the hospital at every turn. We are bonded forever.
How did you find out, seeing as it's such early stage?
@@user-nc7nw4yy7v the tumor by luck, I guess, is on a bile duct that caused jaundice. I went to the ER. They did a scan. Saw the tumor, and was admitted to the hospital. They did a stent surgery. Now am doing chemo. Wife says I'm lucky. Doesn't seem like it to me. Everything I enjoyed in life has been taken
You should be glad and grateful for your cancer, rather than being unthankful and not knowing to appreciate.
Otherwise you'd be DEAD already, from such levels of constant intoxication through poisoning.
Instead be grateful for your tumours, knowing your body works just as intended and is isolating the toxins by encapsulating them, giving you the time and a chance to radically CHANGE what you drink & diet, and turn things around 180 degrees.
First sign will be the tumours turning from rock-solid to morbid, next comes the shrinking till gone.
Why divorce ? pancreatic cancer is very deadly. One will die and the other will survive, pretty much, .the cancer and the divorce. Don't freak out. At the end, we all die and time is timeless ; decades can turn into one minute....and we are history. No biggie.........
Best wishes Peter. I have chronic pancreatitis problems and have had it for over 20 years now. The fear of cancer is always there. Am interested in how you found out you had it. It seems that cancer of the pancreas is usually much more advanced before it's found. Prayers for you and your wife!
I, too, am an advanced practice RN diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. My battle with this cancer is spiritual, medical, surgical and mental.
The diagnosis was a thunderbolt and I cried hard with my family. Then the crying was over and the battle began.
I will pray for this young family and ask the Lord to protect them. Amen.

My wife was a Registered Respiratory Therapist. Her symptoms were like yours. I was out of the country for a couple of months when I came home for Christmas I noticed her dry cough and asked her how long that has been going on, she hemmed and hawed finally went to see her primary care, then there was X-rays and CT scans and finally the stage IV lung cancer diagnosis. I pray that your outcome is better.
I've been a 2 pack a day smoker for 40 years. I recently started seeing a pulmunologist because of shortness of breath after Covid. I had every test under the Sun. Pulmonologist tells me from the CT results, it doesn't look like I had even ever smoked. I have the lungs of a non smoker. So much of our health is genetics. Life is not fair and I hope the best for you!
So true, Willie Nelson is 92 and still smoking weed and touring with Alison Krauses band
Genetics are a trip. My. Parents, brother, and Sister all smoked. They all died in their 50's except my Dad was 68. COPD and emphysema. I didn't start smoking, that God.
We are literally eating, drinking and breathing cancer everyday and non smokers still getting shocked for having lung cancer.
@@wread1982 Krause is touring with Robert Plant. Willie is touring with his son.
Intresting, my grandfather’s parents died of Spanish flue, but his grandfather died at 85, the same age as my grandfather who smoked and drank like a chimney and survived wars, poverty, tuberculosis. My father who wouldn’t put a cigarette to his mouth, hated being in a room with smokers, drank moderately, watched obsessively that his diet is healthy, low in sugar, lots of veggies, fruits, meat, fish (all fresh), exercised …. And died at the same age. Not a year longer regardless the fact that my father had much higher quality of life than my grandfather (in a financial sense and much less worry about us kids, our well-being).
Diagnosed in 2021 with stage IV Lung Cancer. Still here.

This is just awful. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Listening to your story is like listening to my daughter’s story. She started having shoulder and arm pain February/March of 2023. She was working as a CNA at the time and just thought that she had pulled a muscle. When it didn’t heal up she finally went to see a chiropractor just in case she may have tweaked something in her back. Before he did any adjustments he took an x-ray and found a mass in the upper apex of her left lung. It turned out to be a lung cancer of unknown origin. An MRI at a later date showed 2 very small lesions on her brain. She had Gamma Knife surgery on the lesions on her brain and as of now, January 2024 the brain is clear. She went through 2 rounds of chemotherapy and a month’s worth of daily radiation. Her most recent MRI showed a slight enlargement of the tumor and it has wrapped itself around nerves and has invaded the chest wall. Now they have her on immunotherapy which has left her extremely fatigued. She spends 24 hours a day in bed because she is so tired. My heart is breaking, it’s so hard to not give up hope. I pray that things improve for you and your family. Numbers 6:24-26
I know...well I knew 5 people with lung cancer. Not ONE of them had ever smoked. Not ONE of them had lived in a home where they were exposed to second hand smoke. This is really becoming very common among young people too, especially in the last 3 years. Im certain that if we looked, we would surely see a common factor. I hope that, somehow, you are able to find a treatment that will work for you quickly, and that you are able to tolerate it well.
This is what I was wondering too. As I read more comments about non smokers. All my life I was told smoking is what causes cancer. What could the link be? Bad air? I wonder where these people live?
One bad thing about getting seriously I’ll is finding out your “friends” just don’t care. They call you “negative.”
Was that your experience?
Unfortunately, I agree you do learn who your true friends are when your very ill.
Yes, people expect you to be positive, if you are too negative they change the subject, because is too hard for them to hear.
Some friend might do that in some cases, and those may not be real friends if they're acting that way, but it depends I guess. That's a very unfortunate experience in situation, sorry if you or someone you know had to go through that, sounds terrible.
@@asesukatinas Yeah, I imagine that happens even with real friends because of the difficult. The whole journey i'm sure is very very difficult for many different reasons.
sweetheart- I was misdiagnosed lung cancer for 9 months- only after my persistent demands was I given a chest xray that showed lung tumor--- these people are criminal, heartless
I agree 💯 pure evil 🙈😡
Just like Jenny Apple 😢😢😢
@@jeannegeiger4750 JENNY WAS DRUG THROUGH THE MUD - GIVEN FALSE HOPES WITH THEIR "EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS" WHEN SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HOME WITH HER CHILDREN MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT TIME SHE HAD LEFT! IT WAS DISGUSTING TO WATCH ... THESE CRIMINALS BELONG IN JAIL!
In no hurry to cure anyone… loss of income takes priority…
You guys are so beautiful and strong, you’ve got this, never stop fighting and never give up hope.
This is happening to SO many young people...especially females(mostly non-smokers). I hope that lots of research is being done in this particular area. God bless this beautiful family!
about 10%-20% of lung cancer cases in the US occur in people that have never smoked. This has been consistent for decades. Researchers estimate 30% of these cases are caused by secondhand smoke and 15% by radon gas.
All of the house cleaners and chemicals in our daily lives.
@@kala7908 I was a flight attendant in the 80s when everyone smoked (not me though) and I blame all of the 2nd hand smoke
@@buckmurdock2500i think this prosentage is higher! in younger people it's not smoking or secondhand smoking that cause lungcanser! A lot more cases and fewer smokers, it's just a false belive to think no smoke no canser, there are far more factors that playes a part here! Sorry to say 😢
@@buckmurdock2500it's the v bax
I will say prayers for you every night, my heart breaks every time I hear people get sick with cancer. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A friend had shoulder pain and a CT scan that went to the top of her lung but detected nothing. Later another scan detected a tumor. A PET scan showed Stage 4 lung cancer. She was 49 when diagnosed. Hope you have a good outcome.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2020 - and yeah, doing it all ALONE because of Covid just made it all that much harder to deal with. Many hugs to you and your family and I hope you have a long, healthy future ahead of you. And if not, then many great moments full of love :)
Keeping you in prayer, please look into Dr. Kristi Funk and Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition- it works wonders against BC, and health in general :) she has lots of vids on here!
just curious if you have been tested for bovine leukemia virus? It is present in about 60% of breast cancer patients.
Covid was not the reason you did it alone. Incompetent so called experts, power tripping government officials and people afraid to push back on nonsensical rules made to look like the politicians were doing something.
Lost my mum 2 years ago. She was 73. The Doctor diagnosed Asthma over the phone during Covid lockdown. She kept saying she couldn't breath but the Doctor kept on saying she was okay. 14 months later she had a serious seizure and was rushed to be hospital only to find her lungs riddled with cancer which had spread to her spine and brain. What makes things worse is that when the hospital informed her doctor she was terminally ill, a few days later we received a doctor referral from the hospital. Due to the fact that this showed they were attempting to cover their arses for mis-diagnosis I'm now suing them for every penny they have and will donate anything we get to brain and lung cancer charities in memory of my Mum. Never trust your GP in the UK.
Dam. Hope ya win lad. Our healthcare is a joke.
The UK health system is a joke.
Boy, the medical profession failed her miserably. I cannot understand how a chest x-ray wasn’t done at the very beginning??
It doesn’t show on a normal chest X-ray has to be a CT Scan
@@lisaritchie6889 I think she said it showed on X-ray but they failed to do it until later on.
@@lisaritchie6889 that is not true. Anything that is 1cm and up will show on a chest x-ray, unless it's in a place where they didn't see it due to the angle. A CT scan will show anything 2mm and up. Unfortunately I know this from experience, as another non-smoking young woman with a lung cancer history.
@@adinahwithkaden l didn’t say it wouldn’t show on a CT Scan l said it doesn’t on a chest X-ray. It didn’t for me and l still have lung cancer and l just had a chest X-ray and it did not show up at all. Mine is big enough to show if it was able to be seen on a normal X-ray. So lm not sure what your trying to say?
@@lisaritchie6889it usually WILL show in a chest x-ray as long as it's 1cm and up. Mine did. That's how many tumors are originally found. Incidentally on a chest x-ray. Occasionally, because of where the tumor is, it doesn't show, and that sounds like what happened to you, but it's not the norm.
I saw your beautiful face then read the title of this video and a heavy weight just came over me and my heart sank. I am so sorry this is the road you have to travel. I wish I could do it for you. I’m old and wouldn’t be missed much but you have so much ahead of you . I will never understand in this life, maybe the everlasting one. You have my prayers and best wish for a miraculous recovery.
I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2017. I am doing really great but that can change real fast in this world. I will be praying for you from Mississippi
Don´t be a crybaby, get over it
Shit happen
@@christophermoltisanti7019 wow, what an asinine remark
@@scbradford20 Sir, it was a sincere and heartfelt remark, aiming to cheer up! I am myself a terminal cancer (stage4) survivor and completely healthy now, even though each of the doctors assured me i am gonna be toast within weeks. They hurted me way more, than cancer ever could! Therefore i decided to wipe my bottom with their opinions. So i exactly know what i am talking about.
Desperation and fostering self-pity won't help anyone in such a situation.
Still awaiting your apology, Sir.
@@scbradford20 You Sir should apologize to me on your knees! You should feel ashamed for attacking me with such a hateful comment.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer during 2020 COVID. A nightmare, but I was blessed that we live in Ann Arbor and had access to University of Michigan
I hope the situation improves for you. Society needs people like you two, and your children.
I'm so sorry. I had just finished my cancer treatment when covid hit. I wish you well and hope immunotherapy or drug trials help you. Your family is beautiful. Holding you all in my heart. 💘
My dad was the opposite. He was in the ER for breathing problems while raking leaves. He asked a nurse if it was his heart and she said no sir it is your lung cancer. He thought she had the wrong person. BTW I love the Dr who took a stand on your behalf. We need more of that kind of Dr. I am so sorry you have this path to walk. I will keep you in my prayers. 💞
Sorry to hear this about your health prayers for your health and family
Thank you and everyone for sharing your stories, because it helps everybody else and makes us more aware of our health, and to pay attention to it!❤
Keep us posted on your journey. Sending some good thoughts in this new year.
HUGE HUGS for you and your family from the UK...May God bless you all
You're a very strong couple with two beautiful boys. My thoughts are with you all. Thank you for sharing.
This is the same cancer that Jenny Apple had and she also had rib pain at the beginning.
I think she also was diagnosed early 2020
So do I
So, here I am, waiting for a cat scan - my NP casually mentioned to me at the end of my last appointment that when a chest xray was done before my angiogram, they discovered something they were not looking for - a mass. I have had rib pain for about a month and a half and difficulty taking a deep breath. Scares the "you know what" out of me! I am hoping for good news and I will keep YOU in my prayers. You have a lovely family and you are far too young to have to struggle with this disease. Blessings dear girl!
I too was reminded of Jenny Apple.
That's exactly where my mind went! So sad!!
My good friend was also diagnosed with lung cancer. She suffered for 9 months. Literally suffered and no one listened to her. She bleed for about 6 months. The doctors were treating her for blood clots. One morning at work she was crying in pain and blood pouring down her legs, I took her forklift keys off her and told her to go to the hospital and not leave until she had answers. I had to growl at her. They put her in isolation for TB. She was in there nearly 2 weeks and that's when they found the cancer even though they had already tested for it. She passed away 2 days later. Rest easy Cherie 🙏
Wow, so sorry for your loss. I’m tired of our medical community failing so many💕
It is criminal, the way they delay diagnosis!
So sad!
What kind of dopes are coming out of medical school?
Many are no longer merit based@@richardgarrett8087
Prayers going out to you for your healing and strength to keep fighting! I am a lung cancer survivor! Stay strong & stubborn in a good way!
Stay strong Tiffany you can beat this disease
I'm so sorry you got hit with this horrible diagnosis. You're such a beautiful person, and so is your family. I've had 3 scares myself but was lucky that it turned out OK. I know what it's like to wait and hear scary news. I pray you will beat this.
I have read a lot of these stories...I don't think they mean outwardly beautiful other than say, too young to die.
They are usually compassionately sharing in often phenomenal suffering unselfishly, and humanity at that level is beautiful to behold and we are drawn to them, wishing so much that we could help. It's inside, the expression.
@Remembering-rq6si You're a very bitter unhappy person, and I don't need to see your face to know this. I feel sorry for you that you took time out of your day to say this.
I have recently read about a recall of a CPAP machine because it had foam rubber in it to reduce noise. Turns out that foam particles were entering the breathing tube and being inhaled into the lungs…causing cancer. If you used a cpap then there could be a connection.
Make sure you all get your sleep its the best cancer fighting treatment we have, and make sure to keep stress low as possible.
Cancer is getting so common it should be one of the first things they test for I think
Common for people who took an experimental thing
God bless you and your beautiful family! My friend had stage 4 cancer and she also was treated at MD Anderson, she beat it and so will you! Prayers for you and your family
Your god blesses no one.
I am so sorry you and your family are going through this trial. Please remember every cancer is different so you need to go with your gut feelings when deciding on which treatments to accept. I'm a 30+ year, stage 4 cancer survivor because I listened to what my body was telling me. Sometimes that meant going against medical advice. I currently have cancer in one lung and in my chest lymph nodes. It's been four years since they discovered it had moved to yet another location. Four years doesn't sound like much but new therapies come out all the time and one of them might slow or eliminate your cancer. I pray that you find a therapy that works for you. Please keep us posted.
I just want to help really, please read me it could save soo many lives, or at least give more time:
Guy TENENBAUM's case about cancer stage 4 and his protocol (he didn't use chemotherapy or radiotherapy):
- a low-carb diet outside the fasting period (total elimination of carbohydrates/sugars) and eating OMAD (One Meal A Day) crucifers, garlic, onions, avocados, walnuts/almonds, olive oil and oily fish to avoid losing too much weight (avoid meat and cheese)
- taking specific food supplements that Guy TENENBAUM has called TCC (The Cancer Cure) which correspond to his 5 essentials, with the dosage he took:
* High-dose melatonin 30 mgr before going to bed (Phycocyanine or Lithotamne, but the most powerful would be melatonin): inhibition of SCOT (to use pure phycocyanine and lithotamne to increase the volume of SCOT inhibitors in addition to melatonin)
* Allicin (either as a 2400 mg quality concentrated pill, or with crushed raw garlic): up/down stream of SCOT
* Matcha green tea (with turmeric and ginger): up/down stream of SCOT
* Metabolic treatment (metabloc): Alpha Lipoic Acid (or Sodium R Lipoate, 600mg 3 times a day, 1800mg in total) + Garcinia Cambodgia (Hydroxycitric Acid, 600mg 3 times a day, 1800mg in total) + CoQ10 (the transporter, 100mg morning noon evening)
* Omega 3 in a DHA - EPA ratio (500mg DHA/200mg EPA): to fight keto paradox during ketogenic diet or the fasting phase
* Bromelain (850mg to 5000 GDU) and Quercetin (500mg) for nodules
* Berberine and Curcumin to block additional metabolic pathways
- Alkalinise the body with a combination of baking soda and cider vinegar
- if the body allows it: long fasting then the following month by short fasting and intermittent fasting + taking nutrients and minerals to avoid deficiencies (vitamin D3, Magnesium Bisglycinate and multivitamins)
The protocol has been validated by 3 peer-reviewed scientific publications:
1) "Inhibition of SCOT and Ketolysis Decreases Tumor Growth and Inflammation in the Lewis Cancer Model"
2) "Cancer Metabolism: The fasting reset, the ketosis paradox and drugs for elimination"
3) "Unravelling cancer metabolism: Fasting reset, the ketogenic diet? and therapeutic strategies"
Don’t go with your gut feelings! Your gut is not educated in oncology!
I too have lung & chest lymph nodes cancer, and sending love and prayers and you have helped me with your story, keep going and doing all you can, I'm trying food as medicine as no more treatment options open to me...
This irritates me so bad that hospitals say it takes 10 - 14 days to get biopsy tissue results back. It does not take that long. If the hospital is worth a crap they will have the immunohistology stains to get a diagnosis in hours! This patient's hospital and doctors failed her!
I used to work at a hospital. I discovered a lump and first tried to convince myself it was a cyst even though I had experienced a couple different cysts previously and this didn't feel like either of those, but some of us don't want to face what we fear. Within two weeks it was noticable that it had grown. Contacted the doctor and got in same day due to a cancellation. I was able to get a needle aspiration that day and a mammogram scheduled for first thing the next morning. By the next afternoon they not only had those results but was scheduled for surgery in 3 days.
That would never happen today because everything is going backwards. Because of how socialized our medical system is they have developed so many protocols that you may have to wait not days but weeks to get some tests or be referred to a specialist. And then the wait time for surgery or the start of treatment can be worse.
But it isn't just medicine. Did you know that cars used to get better mileage and they also used to last longer. Or did you know that when cell phones came out the sound was more clear than it is now. Or that when businesses first started using computers they would have someone there to fix them immediately instead of the waiting up to 72 hours once you submitted the request.
Whether it was technology, medicine, cars or customer service we have passed our peak performance and are in decline.
Exceptions? A couple. Restoration of electrical service when there is an outage. Growing up in a rural area I remember there would be a few outages a year that would be over a week but most were only days. Now people get unhinged if it is a full day. Online delivery is still remarkably fast even though almost anything you order is lesser quality since it usually comes from China.
Please keep us updated on Tiffany's story...what a brave beautiful woman. I have a feeling she has more years ahead than she may think right now. God bless her and her family. Keep us posted.

Bless your heart. You have a long and winding road ahead of you.
One of my best friends all of the sudden couldn’t breath during a soccer game back in November, he went to the hospital and was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer…..he just passed away, it all happened very quickly for him. Stay strong and wish you a quick recovery.
You’re in my prayers stay strong and we are here supporting you
I’m so glad my husband started talking about what we might do this summer, like he’s planning ahead, isn’t that great! He is being positive and putting positive thoughts out there into the universe, I am so very proud.
You have a wonderful husband!
@@daisydukes8252 you betcha, he’s the best and I am blessed to have him. And it is a gift to be able to share this journey with him and to be able to help him through this part of his life. It helps not to feel like there is nothing you can do,I think that would be the worst. I have lost so many loved ones to this disease and felt so helpless but now I have purpose, to make whatever time we have as happy and meaningful as possible. And to everyone out there, never let a day go by without your loved ones know that you love them.
Miracle of the human spirit. Hope you enjoy your summer!

Cancer is so unfair. I abhor this cruel, evil illness. First lost my Dad 7 years ago, now potentially facing losing my Mum. I am so sad.
I do feel for you. However, people mention often that is so unfair but is it in cases indeed fair? Unfair implicates also fair.
Nature has no feelings (no right or wrong, simply no judgement attached) and in that it is cruel considered as a human.
It's through an act of procreation that a human being is made to run a myriad of terrible risks. Cancer is one of those risks.
Cancer is unfair, cruel and evil?
Hm .. is it? Perhaps the deeds & behaviour of mankind are !!!!
Understanding can only come from wisdom and knowledge.
The cause of cancer is always poison and just as one can't fight fire with fire, it's impossible to fight poison with poison.
The poison causing cancer can come in different shapes, it could be radiation, heck even exceeding hormone levels can be toxic for the body, or a rotten/infected tooth or gums, but usually it's in what you eat and drink.
Your Mum should be glad and grateful for every tumour she has, it means her body works as intended by isolating and encapsulating what it is unable to dissolve, giving her plenty of time to radically change course.
I know what i'm talking about from firsthand experience, i was stage4 terminal, all the quacks claimed i be toast within weeks, and yet against all odds, here i am 13 years later, clean of disease and healthier than ever before.
In a 6 month time frame I was diagnosed with primary lung cancer (8/22) and then primary kidney cancer (3/2023). I had 5 surgeries and am now 6 months cancer free. My oncologist says I am a complicated case, and I am either the luckiest woman in the world or I will encounter another cancer. I attend to fight for everyday here on earth, but you must know you never walk alone.

My prayers go out to you 🙏❤️during this very difficult time being a Breast Cancer survivor I knew it’s the fear of the unknown numerous blood tests, biopsies, body scans to see how far the cancer has spread chemo and radiation. Reading a article on lung cancer one time there are Lots of misconceptions on this disease people think it’s just a smokers disease people who have never smoked get lung cancer lots of factors play into this air pollution, second hand smoke, working around lots of chemicals in your job inhaling fumes. The best advice I can give is just keep your mind busy I know that’s easier said than done and hopefully you have a great support system to stand by you and I wish you all the love🥰😘❤️ in the world sweetie.💕💞💕 Thank you for sharing this with everyone and knowing you are not alone.
Praying for you 🙏 thank you for sharing your story 💛
Wish you all the best for a fast recovery! Much love!
thank you for sharing your story - helping people is selfless and noble
Prayers to both of you to continue to be strong! Im an ovarian cancer survivor who also got breast cancer and a reoccurrance of ovarian cancer within 7 years. But here i am 35 yrs. later. Please, please believe if i can do it you can to. I will be thinking of you❤🙏🙏
I insisted on an early lung cancer screening in October 2020 as I had Covid in January 2020. It took until September 2021 to finally get the screening, with the doctor stating I will receive a message from the results however that turned into a phone call the very next day and yes a tumor in my left lung cancer 😢. I had Proton Radiation treatment in May 2022 and as of right now it's shrinking 🙏. I pray for you that you will have the same results 😢.
You got this. You're strong. Prayers for you as well.
I’ll pray for you 🙏🏻
Stay strong praying for u and everyone who’s suffering I am suffering sometimes difficult breathing u encouraged me to do this lung screening please tell us about it what they do
Wishing Tiffany all the best
Sending prayers your way! May your Angels stay by your side!
Important to tell this so helping others to be aware of the horrible disease. Thank you.
You're a fighter Tiffany. Please don't give up.
This story brings back such painful memories of my mother’s cancer! Within 2 months of my mother’s diagnosis, we lost her! In the end, all that matters are your loved ones! Spend as much time with them as possible! Love them everyday through your words and your deeds!
I’ll pray for you! 🙏🏼
Same happened to my mother. She was 82. It’s extremely shocking and painful to lose your mother that fast. My mother received her diagnosis on her birthday. We thought she had much more time. Had I known it was going to happen that fast I would have never left her side. Loving them everyday is the best advice! so very sorry for your loss.
@@NurseChapel_NCC1701
My condolences to you and your family! Yes, it is shocking and we are absolutely devastated! She was only 81!
Thank you for sharing your story. Others can learn by it, and it may save another one of us from a drawn out diagnosis. This must have been such a painful time for you and your family. God bless you and keep you in his care! Thank you for telling us to LIVE NOW, for we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. ❤ You have beautiful boys!☺️
What a beautiful family my prayer goes out to them Big Time.
I pray that you will have a full recovery! Thank you for sharing this...
I'm saddened that a young and vivacious mom like Tiffany has been afflicted with this disease. What isn't surprising is the fact that her physicians missed the signs. Without disparaging the industry, in today's health care delivery environment MDs can find it challenging to spend the time to clinically rule out every causative sign. (Unfortunately, some follow "cookbook medicine" akin to following a flow chart rather than looking at all possibility, crucial with lung cancer which may be difficult to detect early.) It is also up to the patient to monitor their own health by listening to their bodies and following up with a doctor that is also your advocate. This doesn't make you a hypochondriac.
Bret ----- they should have taken a chest x-ray from the very start ......but the insurance companies want them to do as little as possible
@@julianadamico4702 Yes, as is often the case with health insurers. However early-stage lung cancer may not be that visible on a chest x-ray.
@@bretpark4485 yeah you're probably right
My father had Micobacterium Avium Complex (MAC). It can look and behave very much like Tuberculosis. He was misdiagnosed until finally Dr. Earl King from Fox Chase (he is not there anymore) diagnosed him accurately. Dr. King I feel gave my father back the last decade of his life and it was a quality 10 years. Dr. King spent a LOT of time with his patients just getting to know them! He would be in with my elderly dad for sometimes over an hour, part of which was talking about LIFE and their families. Drs. just do not get to spend time. Why on earth would this poor woman have gone so long without a simple chest Xray. Like seriously. On another note, I want to be a believer in miracles. I've seen close loved ones pass from cancer, I also have a friend 20 years out from an ovarian cancer diagnosis who beat it back with a macrobiotoc diet and lifestyle. Her odds were stacked against her, and it has returned but she has outlived her cancer cohort by 20 years. I just want to see this precious mother survive this to be with her children. There are new immuno boosting drugs now. I just pray they can beat this back. Beautiful young family.
Because she is so young and in shape and beautiful doctors don’t even think it to be cancer related. Ps . That’s why they call it a medical practice! It’s all practice. With the internet we can now figure out things and ask questions and demand answers and test !
