- David started getting the flu and colds every few months and then started getting sharp stomach pain. But he and his wife had just survived a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, so he dismissed his symptoms. It wasn't until months later when he saw he doctor, he was diagnosed with stage 4 follicular lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
In this cancer vlog, David goes through his extensive treatment plan and how exercising and dieting has helped him get through the last 12 years of his diagnosis.

I Never Thought it was Cancer - David | Stage 4 Follicular Lymphoma | The Patient Story
• Sharp Stomach Pain - D...
I was just diagnosed 11-23 with Follicular Lymphoma, stage 3. I’ve just finished round 5 of 6, and hope for remission. I’m 75, so our circumstances are different. You’ve been through so much, and I commend you for being a true warrior. May you live to be 100 young man, and may the rest of your journey be stress free, full of joy and love. Thank you for the video.❤
thank you so much, I really appreciate that. bless you, and good luck on your treatments
So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Hoping you get the treatment that will help you live happily for many more years.
@DCLearningtoLive hi David. Thanks for sharing your story. Great to hear you attribute your good diet and exercise as key to health. Exploring options after my diagnosis. You can lift some weights! All the best 😊
This is the first story I came across which he talks about surviving for 12+ years after treatment. That itself is positive.
God has a plan for this man I believe ❤
Thank you all so much for the kind comments, I very much appreciate it. wish you all the best, and thank you for listening to my story, I hope it helps in some way
12 years..
what a gift!
As a nurse, I must say you did such a nice job of explaining truthfully what and how you felt. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks for sharing your story. You are an inspiration to others going through similar treatments 😊❤.
You’ve been through a lot. Prayers for you! Hoping for a full cure and a long and healthy life.
Stay positive! What a great attitude! 🙏
Your a warrior and long may it last ❤
Praying for the best outcome possible 🙏 with God, ALL things are possible. He still works miracles!
Unless he doesn’t and people just die for no reason? What about all the children with cancer who die? Where’s God?
Well done, David with the way you have dealt with this cruel disease. Keep on doing what you are doing. Best of Luck to you
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great reward for all that hardship!
Thank you for posting this helpful video. Best wishes to you.
Bloody marvellous mate
Praying for you 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your story. I think your point about speaking up about your side effects and getting help is important.
God bless you. Thankyou for your story 🙏💙
Wow, just wow.
I had the same metal taste, especially with oranges and bananas. Thanks for sharing your story, there is a lot of wisdom in your experience
You are a brute! Keep up the good fight!!!
If it is worth anything reasonably fit and otherwise healthy 68M here have had a much easier time (so far) with stage 3A Follicular Lymphoma, although my abdominal tumour was large (20cm). Had a different chemo regime, Bendamustine and Rituximab and it was very tolerable. Kept hiking throughout, which was only difficult right at the start. Side effects were fairly minimal - vomited the first night, had some tiredness and medicine (Ondansetron) caused constipation. But otherwise just carried on working and living.
If you have the ability, please share your blood results that were concerning to the doctors. What foods and lifestyle were important. How you felt with things emotionally and your physical exercise. Your story is so positive, and I believe you could help those understand the fight to stay alive.
thank you so much, I have more of that information on my channel if you are interested
My daughter and her family lives in Japan also. Going on 8 years, they love it.
My husband was also on retuximab for his Multiple Myeloma. It should have put my husband into remission. That never happened. After 3 years of treatment, we welcomed hospice into our home and he passed about 10 days later on 6/28/22.
sorry for your loss, I know it is hard, but he is in a better place. Japan is a wonderful place to live. my wife and I hope to return. thank you for watching our story, I hope it helps.
Putting Benzodent in one of those night guards (the kind you can boil and form to your mouth) and keeping it in is amazing for mouth pain from large mouth ulcers or osteonecrosis of the jawbone. Keeps the medicine on the sore for hours and controls the pain so well. I don't know how I'd have slept without that sometimes.
Love love love. xo
Very interesting story and quite similar. Thanks for sharing. Just starting this ordeal myself. Did your kidneys eventually recover? I was in Japan for ten years and had actually considered returning. It's funny how a diagnosis like this completely takes your mind away from future plans. One day at a time.
thank you, my left kidney never recovered, but my right one is doing very well
Hearing C...word is so damned cruel. You are extremely brave. It sucks being sick. Nobody undersrands till it happens to them in the United states one out of two people will be effected by cancer. We serously need laws to protect against cooperate greed. Most everything around us and that goes in is contaminated. The treatments I feel like science is held back do to the mmoney the illness brings in. In the ninties a scientist friend worked on ways to fix teeth they.found out how to grow new teeth wxtremely cheap. The dentist association fought them and shut the treatment down.
You look and sound very good in this video.
thank you Carri
I had the same symptoms, same order, same side effects for ...parasites. Treating them chemically blasted them everywhere. Now i use neem, lemongrass, sri Lanka cinnamon & blessed strong bitter green tea. No glucosey foods, which worms love. It's a climb. Bless you!
Is this non Hodgkin's fallicullar lymphoma & are you able to get Car T (which is a T- cell transplant)
Ive never heard of this cancer .
I love stage 4 stories : ) my fave to watch ❤
You love to hear other people's misery?
@@bluesmoke8826 they're gona have stage 4 REGARDLESS if they tell their story or not. It's not my fault!
Oh My God
You must be joking, right? I sit here in middle of the night so sick from Cancer and txment and you're reveling in this young man's battle? Sorry but seriously twisted!
was this after the shot?
no, this was in 2012, and 2014. I never took the shot..never will
As a nursing student, I took the shot, regrettably. I'm now battling the doctor for proper diagnosis, life is hell. Grade 2, likely stage 4. No treatment yet. 35yo female.
I'm sorry you are going through such a time. it is horrible what has been going on. I pray you have a full recovery🙏@@melissap6918
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@melissap6918 Hey dont know if it will help you at all, but I have heard that nicotine is supposed to do wonders for long covid and spike protein. I know its not the same but who knows
He Worshipped sport and Health - but that does not redeem
Chill out. All he meant was he loved sports and being active. You are ridiculous to stretch his comment to your vial thoughts.
The transition effects are smoother than my life decisions.
