After a freak accident sent Cherylinn N. to the hospital, she was told to see a primary care doctor. She went to the doctor, even though she wasn’t experiencing any symptoms, and was then diagnosed with stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and was told it was terminal. That was in 2005. In this story, she talks about how she made the choice to fight and how she remained positive through chemotherapy and relapses.

Originally, I had no symptoms other than being tired, as I mention it wasn't until I was attacked by the dog (German Shephard) and was seen by a doctor
Thank you for the inspiration
i had a lump in my left breast and it felt heavy like it was full of milk. Also, my breasts would itch and i would get rashes on my chest. then when i would wash my hair in the shower. I would get out of breathe shampooing my hair.i found out it was cancer stage 2 IDC at 58yrs old. Im scheduled for surgery but im not doing chemo. Im a big baby and would die going threw chemo. I will be changing my diet, exercising and hope it does not return.If it does im going on hospice. Im not afraid to die im afraid of pain n suffering
Vomiting, diarrhea, extreme fatigue, abdomen pain . Couldn’t drink water without throwing up
My fiance is fighting stage 4 lung cancer, watching these videos as a loved one, gives me strength to support him in his journey
my fiancé is battling brain cancer and he has been hospitalized for four months and he is waiting for his death, he was a healthy person and never went to the doctor before
Prayers for both of you.
@@stormywind I am so sorry...sending warm and affectionate vibes..
I am so sorry..Stay strong, get support, enjoy what little things you can...
@@c.c.6930 thank you very much for your sympathy, unfortunately my fiancé passed away after three months battling brain cancer and my world is turned upside down.may God bless his soul,🙏🏽🙏🏽😥😭😥....
I'm fighting cancer, so thank you for your courage

Wishing the best for you. I have been there. ❤
I hope you have an easy and fast recovery
Stay strong ❤
I am fighting GERD and mental disorders like anxiety, depression n when I watch all this I feel so so small. Thank you for such inspirational stories.
GERD can lead to esophageal cancer if not resolved by a compitent holistic or Gastroenterologist.... But it can be caused by two or three different factors, so first they have to isolate the kind of culprit causing the GERD. The most difficult is if it's a sliding hiatal hernia. They might as well call it "a hiding hiatal hernia".... Because that's what it does when you're not eating it goes back into place and hides. And it won't show up on their typical endoscopy. GERD will also deteriorate the enamel on your teeth causing a lot of cavities and teeth fragility. So get it fixed. Taking a Pepcid or Zertex is only a short-term solution because if you take that a long time it'll give you kidney problems. Get better soon. 🙂👍
@@kimtonearts yes I am aware of it n dat is why I also practice yoga and ayurveda :)
Hi! Try to check if you are sensible to gluten because that could be a symptom. I am not saying it is, just that It could be and if it is, then you should take measures to keep gluten away because it is insidious, a problem maker and could damage any organ and, or, system in the body. It could make you suffer from lupus, cancer and other immunological diseases and could take a toll too on your teeth, gums, skin, sight, hair, bones, Neurological system etc... It is something to take seriously. IF you are sensitive, once you get control of the problem by not consuming gluten you would be feeling a huge difference. It takes time and a lot of attention to not get confused with food. Unless the product is natural or says: gluten free, you should consider that it has gluten. By the way, when we are sensitive to gluten we could suffer from anxiety or depression just because that sensitivity is there. If you are not sensitive or allergic to gluten do not stop consuming gluten altogether because that then could cause an allergy in you. If you want to take distance from gluten anyway, just consume less. Good luck and get well soon!
Lump in my neck tiredness itching feeling generally grotty turned out to be papilliary thyroid cancer, 7 years ago after treatment I am doing alright
Thank for sharing, are you still cancer free?
Cherylinn's story is super encouraging and inspiring and informative. She lays out both her thinking and her actions that have brought her through 15+ years of working, mothering her kids, and personally growing while coping with a very serious cancer. Good for her, and helpful for us. Wishing her well.
Pretty lady. So sorry she's gone through so much.
I was called in for a trial that did first mammograms of women in their late 40's. Of 100 women who were called back for a second check, I was⁵😢 one who had cancer. My other breast had pre-cancer. With a 10mm X 12mm lesion, I was lucky? However, post a double mastectomy surgery, pathology showed 😊 a 44mm lesion close to the chest wall. I had no symptoms and no history. I've been in remission for 5yrs 6months.
My older sister had her first scan at 52yrs. She was clear, but if my first scan was at 52, I would have been stage 4 for certain. I had a rare cancer that grew in lines, not lumps. I would never have known I had cancer. Also, chemotherapy would not have helped me. So I just had extensive radiation and then 4-monthly check ups.
In June, I got the all clear.
She’s such a strong woman. My heart goes out to her. I wish she didn’t have to go thru so much but she does it with such grace and such a good attitude. I wish her so many more years to enjoy her children and job. I don’t idolize celebrities but I do idolize strong, real people like her. Wow.
I'm GOD I love, and move, and have my being. ACTS 17:28.
I love that expiration date story.
I’ve been fighting triple negative breast cancer for the 2nd time! Blessings to you dear! You are an inspiration!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽💚🌷

It's very hard to do something important and meaningful in life but you somehow found a way. You're so great Stephanie! Much love!
Are you kidding??? I've never seen such an annoying reporter. Her questions were pointless
@@OscarsMamaYou got a video of you doing an interview that I can watch? I'm sure it's so much better than anything anyone has ever done.

What an inspiring story :) it's awesome to hear!
My husband was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in 2014, had chemotherapy, then had to have auto stem cell transplant, that gave him 2 years remission; then he was put on ibrutinib medication which gave him a great remission, he was doing so very well, however he also had copd and he contracted covid and sadly he passed just under a year ago, 10 days before Christmas 2021 of covid
@@geecruz2015 I HAD CORONAVIRUS AND STAGE 4 lung cancer. Almost died. I’m sorry for everything your going though
Keep smiling You have a lovely dog! All the very best
She is my support
This is 1 journey that nobody wants be on I going cancer myself it's so hard physically and emotionally hate cancer
Cherylinn thank you for sharing your inspirational journey.. God has blessed you with wonderful Drs that have worked to help you with finding new treatments that have worked to keep you going… Unfortunately my friend wasn’t as fortunate , he like you didn’t have any real symptoms other than feeling tired.. But he was working extra hrs because of the Holidays coming up plus he was saving up for a new Bowen arrow he loved to hunt.. It was around that time that he was just so exhausted he would take a nap as soon as he got home.. This was something he never did.. So we convinced him to go to his Dr before going hunting.. Long story short his blood work came back which lead to more testing of all sorts which confirmed Mantle he only lived about 6mos and that was someone who was in great health before this…
I'm so sorry to hear this and thank you for your kind words
God Bless you. You’re a strong lady! How would someone have stage 4 with no symptoms but a little fatigue? Stay strong!❤
ThankYou so much for your Story. My story is very similar to yours. At the moment, I'm healing from COVID-19, which I've had for 5 1/2 weeks. All treatment has stopped until I'm better.
God Bless You and your family in your Cancer Journey.🙏
Cheri, thank you for watching. I am so sorry to hear what you’re going through - that’s awful! We will be thinking about you. Please let us know if there are any topics that would be helpful to you during your journey. ❤️
Have you tried ivermectin?
I hope you are feeling better now
These interview should be remade: the sound of Cherylin is bad and some parts should be even reduced for a better understanding of this story... I hope Cherylin is doing well.
Omg good luck with everything
I have always been thin, so after a very embarrassing first experience with a mammogram and an angry tech who kept messing up (and blaming me), I decided “My breasts are practically flat! If there’s a lump, I will feel it! From now on, I’ll do my monthly self-exams in the shower; I’m sure I will feel any lumps well before any barbaric machine could!” And that’s exactly what I did for decades. Then a couple years ago, I began feeling sick, and I felt a left-axillary lump.
Up until that point, all my doctors had begged me to get a mammogram and I denied every strong urge. But my GP managed to talk me into getting one. The techs were much kinder, and the room wasn’t as dark and dingy, as my first (and then, only) mammogram. But when the tech was looking at the scans, and couldn’t tell me what was on them, I could tell something wasn’t right. She turned white and began stuttering. She kept switching the words “if” and “when”…”when…if…when…if the doctor finds something, they will call you and may ask for a repeat scan or maybe a b-b-biopsy”. I said, “You see something, don’t you?” She said, “[sigh!] I’m not allowed to say…but keep your phone on at all times.”
I finally saw the tumor on the screen, and it was huge. They removed it, and the biopsy showed it was benign.
I never felt that lump! My breasts were practically flat, and the only outward manifestation was my left breast appeared visually larger than the right. The tech even commented on the difference in sizes before she took the scan. I never noticed the enlargement until she mentioned it. I did the entire soapy finger palp, and mirror check for dimples, nipple changes and rashes; I never noticed the size difference.
Ladies!! Whatever lies you want to tell yourself, the mammogram is not our enemy…it’s breast cancer’s enemy. It may be embarrassing, you may get a tech that is very inhumane, but regardless of any mammogram horror stories you have heard or experienced, the stories of cancer are much much worse. The mammogram machine has never claimed a life. Let the demon machine discover or rule out cancer, so you can move on with your lives. Because without the machine-wicked as it seems- you may never know you have breast cancer until it’s too late.
ps Before I am corrected about Cherylinn’s diagnosis, I am aware she did not have breast cancer, but rather, Mantle Cell Lymphoma. But I still believe this needs to be said. And kudos, Cherylinn, for keeping your GP follow up on the dog bite. I doubt I would’ve even gone to the ER, unless it needed stitches (which they don’t do for dog bites, anyway). My outlook would’ve been bleak, under those circumstances.
Great post! Live saving for sure...Thanks for taking the time!💕
Thank for you sharing that. That is a really useful anecdote.
Thank you for sharing and I had a mammogram last week and I ask the tech because I do have large breast and asked how hard it for small breast, and she is said that it is hard and that she has very small breast and the tech told her it was hard, and he didn't know that's what she does for a living, and she understood but he was patient with her, and it helped her. Yes please go get checked no matter what size and this goes for men too!
When you see kids with cancer you realize you have no right to complain about anything ever again. We all accept the fact that death comes for us all but when children are stricken with cancer it's something entirely different.
Have u had Cancer?
noone should suffer from cancer every one should get peace ful death
So true
This just happened to my 80 year old Mum, she had a fall took to hospital, msr scans blood tests xrays showed she had stage 4 cancer, she was discharged from hospital saying she is medically fit, BUT she can not go home we had to put her in a care home that is costing £1000 a WEEK even though she owns her own home with no stairs etc, i offered to go live with her they said no it is ridiculous. As they said it will spread to her brain, she is having no medication just the odd paracetamol , how can a stage 4 cancer patient be medically fit to be discharged from hospital? my poor mum is scared and keeps asking how long she got left etc, she has no symptons other than she had a fall and lay all night on the floor??
Just to add it is advanced cancer spreading throughout her body, they said be too invasive to find the source and without knowing the source can not treat it
SECOND OPINION!!!
They are writing your Mama off because of her age...😡
It's inhumane. If your Mama has the fight in her, then she deserves Treatment just as much as the next person.
Take her home 🏠 to where she feels most comfortable if you can stay with her...
Bloody drs think we are property. Cherilyn is so fortunate to have caring Oncologists.
I am sending you and your Mama and Family strength and healing vibes
✨✨✨
Remember... NO EXPIRATION DATE!
God bless my heart is with you all ❤️
@@tourbillon13 Thank you, they will not let me take her home, they say i am not a nurse
Sorry to hear all this. If she's terminal and isn't being gave pain medication then why does it matter if you're a nurse? What are they doing you can't? Maybe that would clear up the confusion if you had that information. If you want to bring her home typically you just sign out a patient and they come home to die. if pain management is required you can get home hospice care in some area's. Good luck to you! Home is where mom is enjoy every moment no matter where she's at. Big hugs to you ❤
@@jojo683 Thank you , we can not understand it either, she is paying £1000 a week to stay in a care home plus still keeping her home. Big hugs to you too x
I dont know why i am looking at these videos ,i have worst cancer phobia and none im my family had cancer .I am literaly so afraid of it ,can you tell me how can you do check ups,like can you check your whole body for it?
Sweetie, Paper plates! No more dishes in the sink (ever). 😂😂😂
Bowing 🙇 …. fighting two (2) at the same time. 😊
Im worried I have Shortness of breath, nosebleeds, itchieness, dizziness, huge lymph nodes, and I'm worried
2022 new cancer fighting medications
Doctors won't tell their patients
For lung cancer and breast cancer and colon cancer
Why are so many patients being diagnosed with stage 4 cancers?? Making you just wonder what is going on?
Lockdown is partly to blame
It's the jab
@@marywyrick4520 please this woman was diagnosed 15 years ago. Other people who are diagnosed at stage 4 have had ignorant obstinate doctors who tell patients their pains and worries are all in their head until they collapse and are finally diagnosed by someone in the er.
The jab is doing the job they intend it to
It’s most time either that the cancer doesn’t cause symptoms or doctors that don’t take patients serious when they tell them about their symptoms. I would guess the latter is too common than everyone wishes for 😔
Were you put on any anti estrogen pills or aromatase inhibitors like tamoxifen?
Did you make changes to your diet?
She didn't have breast cancer she has lymphoma. Why would they give hormone therapy. It's a lymphoma in the breast tissue not breast cancer.
Great video but poor video taping. Volume goes in and out.
How could you feel healthy if you were overweight, and didn’t take care of necessary doctor care and health screenings?
I do believe genetics plays a great part - I know people who are slim and have blood cancer and they had no symptoms - is not always the weight - there are many factors including environmental…
because being overweight doesn't equal beinf unhealthy and th same goes for being thin!
You sound very ignorant. Being overweight is a description not a symptom of any illness.
For some folks, the only symptom is gruesome death. Audience wishes her all the best. Cheers!
