june of 2011 for stage 4 cancer started chemo in julyof 11 for 6 months almost 10 years later im cancer free never let anyone tell you it cant be beaten bless you ody
It can be beaten for awhile, but once you've had it already, and had the treatments that irradiate you and destroy your immune system, the odds of it coming back with a vengeance are massively increased. Hope is one thing but false hope is rampant, people just need to focus on accepting death and enjoying the time they have left.
Thank you for doing a video just on symptoms along with your own personal examples. This was very helpful, to the point and easy to understand. God bless you!
Thank you for posting this video. I've been getting some nasty symptoms for six months and I'm now finally waiting for an appointment for a colonoscopy. Feeling terrified about it but seeing how brave you are has inspired me to stay positive. So pleased to see you are doing well! 🙂
I will keep you in my prayers my dear! I had severe stomach pain at one time for a while has a colonoscopy and a upper endoscopy, that turned out good. I hope that you are doing ok, and keeping your faith. I cant even imagine what you are going through. Will continue to pray for you daily. God Bless You Michael
My dad had no symptoms he worried about except unexplained weight loss. I rolled my eyes and said, “Dad! That should’ve been your first clue!” For our family, weight control is a constant issue. Dad had surgery; it had spread to his liver and it was his wish not to have chemotherapy or radiation treatments. He lived ten more months, we got hospice (absolutely angels all), and good pain control. Dad died peacefully with family at bedside. God bless you and the best of health to you always!
So happy to see you looking so health & bright ….had all the same symptoms for years , used to come in stages ….sickness and diarrhoea, sleeping for hours , constipation, like you sitting on the toilet for hours rocking back and fourth . The latter stages were stomach aches , constipation.I remember attending A& E it was so bad ….I was given antibiotics and it was suggested I may having legionaries disease . During these times I was screened twice for bowel cancer , both came back asking for another sample , both 2nd test were clear …..I had it all along ! . Three years after an operation were a third of my bowel was removed and some chemo …I’m feeling much better , still being scanned , was a time were Scan picked up something in my lungs , they thought it had spread …turns out I picked up a serious lung condition that requires 2yrs antibiotics treatment ….don’t know if I should celebrate or cry lol . As I said , good to see you looking so healthy and well , I wish , your babies and your families all the best …you are amazing Xx Sorry for the poor grammar …chemo Brian lol Xx
She’s really lucky to be able to say she’s on the other side of that diagnosis. My friend passed away at age 43 this past December after a valiant 5-year battle with stage 4 colon cancer. I hope we find a cure for all cancers. And give thanks for each day we have on this earth.
@@zombieapocalypsexx9253 you are just nuts. Steve Jobs was one of the richest men on earth. But when he was diagnosed with cancer he did not go for the best treatments, but believed in miracle cures he found online.
I’m so sorry for your loss of a good young friend. My dad died of colon Ca but he was 74. He had unexplained weight loss which he didn’t address at first but I wish he had (in our family, weight control is a constant battle!) He had surgery, declined chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and lived ten more months with hospice and good pain control. My son’s best friend was diagnosed this year and already has had 2 surgeries, and he’s only 33. God bless you and take good care.
You look so healthy and beautiful I would not believe you were unwell at all. Thank you for sharing your story I know it will help many people to not feel alone with their health concerns. God bless and help you to heal :)
I'm so glad he is doing well. Appendix cancer is rare, with about 1500 cases per year. I had pin worms at age 6 which caused Appendicitis, so I had to have it removed. I have never missed it since.
I really struggle to listen to people talking with background music playing at the same time, so I could bare no more than 5 mins of this 😩 I'm so glad you're ok now though honey xx
Really good info, I was in denial too and ended up with stage 3 colon cancer emergency surgery. Happy to report I am cancer free at almost one year. Believe your body is telling you it’s crying out for help...you DO NOT need to just put up with it, power thru. Bless you 🙏🏻
Praying for you dear heart! My little sisters experience was close to yours. It took the “doctors” a year and a half AFTER she had been in pain to find out it was stage 4 colon cancer. Just because someone is under 50 is no reason to not do a colonoscopy if there are issues!
Thankyou for raising awareness of colon cancer. Its a silent killer. People need to do Colonoscopy as soon as they develop any symptoms. Early detection is key. The sooner you discover, the better chance of your survival will be. Thankyou for your courage and sharing your survival skills with us. May you continue to have good health and cancer free.
I wish there was more education and the ones who should have this is doctors but they continue to dismiss us young people who have these symptoms. Its so frustrating and heartbreaking.
This is of course good information, often there is a delay in diagnosis and it can be so devastating. A young healthy looking person confuses doctors even. I lost my dearest friend to colon cancer, late stage diagnosis. I am encouraged to see so many that survive now.
Shame on those doctors for not acting sooner. It shouldn’t be up to the patient to push for anything but unfortunately, often times it turns out to be that way. This is sadly such a common thread through all these stories. Thank you for sharing.

Doctors haven't acted sooner for decades, even before the pandemic. My grandma died of pancreatic cancer and she knew early on that something was wrong and doctors wouldn't listen to her. Seems to be a common theme here in Saskatchewan.

Thank you soo much for sharing your heroic story. What a journey! I am soo proud of you and your positivity. I to was diagnosed with colorectal cancer on the 2st of February of this year and I am still awaiting a surgery date. I thank God that his hands has been holding me up and except for the discomfort of not being able to relieve myself as per normal, i cannot say thar I have been experiencing any excruciating pain as i did in late June to November of 2021. I truly believe that it was milk that saved my life because it was only when i consumed milk that i was reeling with the worse kind of labour pain. And trust me, i know what labour pain is since i have had 8 children. I will tell all those who read our stories to please become firmilar with your body and listen to it when it becomes rebellious if you eat something it does not like. My only question now Is, what foods or drinks should i be eating and drinking before surgery to keep my strength and the same question goes for chemo. Thank you again for your bravery and honesty. God go with you and all those of you who are fighting the good fight. Peace and love my friends. 💞💞
Thank you greatly for sharing your experience. Very valuable information. Very glad to see you so beautiful and radiant🌟 God bless you and keep you whole and healthy💜
Ody. Gracias por hacer este video. Lo primero que me llamo de este video es cuando mencionaste el dia de tu diagnostico- el 31 de julio que viene siendo mi cumplean-os. N o hay coincidencias. Estoy pasando por ciertas molestias parecidas y vere el gastroenterologo en enero. Espero que estes mejor y seguire tus pasos. Bendiciones para ti en 2022.
Lorene Noe Hi Ody, Thanks for your message. I'm happy to say that I have had all my results back and all good (Thank god) I had to wait 4 weeks for all the results to come back which was the longest 4 weeks of my life. I have a couple of minor problems that I can control with my diet. I hope all good with you and that you and your family have a lovely Christmas. Stay safe Ody and please keep in touch. Regards Jack
When I had cancer and went through treatment I developed some other health problems that I didn’t realize ARE related to cancer/treatment. I developed rosacea, and re-occurring shingles, external shingles and internal shingles (you can have them in your abdomen) I still have both of those issues 12 years later. I also still have discomfort and pain and tissue shrinking because it’s becoming scar tissue due to radiation. YES! Push until you get answers and report ALL your symptoms as they can be related.
I too developed major health problems after extensive treatment for cervical cancer. I now have a permanent ileostomy and am in stage 4 kidney failure due to a reaction to the radiation therapies I've received. It has affected my bones and now I have osteoporosis which has required a hip replacement which unfortunately has virtually crumbled and my hip has dislocated into my pelvis and I'm in a wheelchair awaiting another surgery and because of complications will be around 10 hours duration. I am cancer free ( so far) and it has been 19 years and in that time I average 1 hospital visit per month. Obviously I have been one of the 2℅ who react to treatment but I would encourage anyone about to start treatment to ask about all possible side effects, I think Drs are inclined to mention them but don't go into specifics I would certainly have questioned part of my radiation therapy.
Thanku so much for this video. I have been having the same symptoms, thanks too you I will insist on getting things done now. Thank you Oby “God bless you for sharing.❤️”
I just turned 42 this month watching your video made me get a colonoscopy because I had similar symptoms. I do have cancer I'm just waiting for the call back on the stage 😔. If you have symptoms just get the colonoscopy don't wait and don't let yourself go into denial.
I'm happy she's a survivor! My dad was diagnosed with 4th stage colon cancer in Oct 2013 and he passed away in June 2014. He had rounds of chemo but that only made him worse the rest of the time he had left.
You are going to save someone's life with this video. Thank you for sharing such a painful, personal experience. You can beat this. Sharon Osborne did.
My good friend looked very similar to you, young and pretty... she died at 43 from colon cancer. No family history. She also suffered with severe stomach pain but the doc's wouldn't properly investigate until it was too late.
I am waiting on results from colonoscopy, I am 20 year breast cancer survivor. Been having symptoms similar to yours. You are giving me strength no matter what news is received. Appreciate your sharing.. continued healing and health to you.
Here in Ireland the level of ppl getting bowel cancer in their 30's is ever increasing. There have been countless news stories recently of people in their 30's going to their general docs and being told "oh, it's just IBS", then they discover far too late that they have cancer. It's despicable.
Its not just about age. Don't let doctors medical gaslight you. As a woman, I can see how my husband is treated differently.. I am not a hypochondriac and I don't see a doctor as often as I should. I know my body. Don't let anyone make you feel you are crazy. If you have a doctor like this, find another one. Also, make sure you get your annual check up, especially if its covered by your insurance. If aren't feeling ill, screening my find out you are have a medical issue.
Thank you for sharing your story! I am wondering if you ever had problems with constipation? I am so sorry it took so long to get a diagnosis, you are so strong🥰!
Thank you for sharing your story, I don’t even know why this popped up in my recommendations but all the best to you! P.S- the music was overpowering the video significantly🙈
I loved your vídeo and I hope you are doing well. My mother died when she was only 43. It was in 1975 and Medicine was not prepared to deal with cancer at that time.
Thank you Ma’am for sharing such a highly personal and private story and ETERNAL shame on your physicians for not listening to their patient and taking her concerns seriously. It nearly cost you your life. As a 2x cancer survivor I learned long-ago that NO ONE (CERTAINTY not your doctors), including well-intentioned, loving family members, friends, nurses and others will be your own best patient advocate. YOU must fill this roll. So many people are intimidated when it comes to questioning the judgment and decision-making of their “God” physicians. They shouldn’t be. You continued to experience persistent, worsening GI symptoms which your PCP clearly didn’t take seriously- prescribing you one H2 Blocker after another whilst having done little to no laboratory, radiological, or physical testing to determine the source of the problem. As if prescribing you a laundry list of antacids will fulfill the standard of care. It won’t and it doesn’t. The patient always knows his/her body and symptoms best. When a doctor fails you despite worsening symptoms, time to find another physician immediately. Your life depends on it. I’m so very sorry for what you’ve endured, but at least you now have answers. Never be hesitant or recalcitrant to speak-up on your own behalf. It’s your right. When something doesn’t sound or feel right, it probably isn’t. Best wishes.
I see this is 4 mo old but don't see any other videos. U look so beautiful. So are u done with everything? Or just starting your journey? Yes we must be our own advocates. Thanks for shareing. Bless u sweetie!
I’ve had colon polyps since age 19! Thank God I have regular colonoscopies and upper endoscopies to keep an eye on my body. I’ve lost count how many polyps I’ve had removed.
Now this is a true example of what preventive care should be!!!!! I don’t think many understand that polys are pre-cancer! Thank goodness you follow up properly!
How did you found that you have polyps in the first place? I mean you had some kind of symptoms or just decided to make a prophilactic colonoscopy check-up just like a health care check-up without symptoms?
@@magdalena.slavova I had horrible stomach pain and diarrhea. I have family history of digestive disorders and thankfully I had a doctor who truly listened to me and was thorough. Usually polyps have no symptoms. I was really lucky. I also am a strong advocate for my health and always get a second or third opinion if needed on health concerns.
I hope you're doing better. Congratulations for having a kid how is she doing I hope she's doing well too hope she's healthy and well I lost someone to cancer 😢
I was diagnosed in 2017 with stage 4 metastitic colon cancer now in my lungs and received over 50 chemo treatments. Please continue to post we cancer patients need to know about the different lifestyle stages of cancer. I frequently ask the Docs if i can travel and they do not have an answer.
I remember forcing doctors to do screenings and an endoscopy on my mom after being in hospital for pain over and over again. How come no doctor ever thought about it? Am not even a doctor I just do my research online and boom it crossed my mind we needed to do something. Finally results came in and she had a bad wound in her stomach which could have been cancerous if it wasn't diagnosed and treated on time.. sometimes doctors assume symptoms way too much, they never take things seriously unless they see you in death bed. Crazy
Hi Ody, I haven't seen a post from you in awhile on CZcams. Hope you're ok? My husband just got diagnosed with colon cancer. He's going to talk to his doctors on Jan 18th on what to do next.
This is one of the biggest problems with cancer. Carcinomas, or cancers derived from epithelial tissues, make up 90% of human cancers and usually take 10-30 years to form. For most of that time, they will be almost entirely asymptomatic, and when they do cause symptoms, there is an extremely long list of other potential causes that are vastly more likely. For example, stomach pain and indigestion are a symptom of stomach cancer, and there are about a million other causes which are much more likely, especially in someone young. Cancers can also produce a baffling and endless array of symptoms that vary from person to person, which explains the meme about how whenever you type just about any symptom into webMD, cancer often arises as a potential diagnosis.
I hope your doing well. I guess some people can beat it and some can't. I just had a relative in her early 40's that passed away. She was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer than had spread to her liver. There was surgery on her colon, and Chemo that had to be adjusted to a very aggressive level of Chemo. None of the Chemo treatments worked The cancer then spread to her lungs. When it was decided there was no hope treatment ended hospice came and she passed a week later. It was 18 months from diagnosis to her passing. I really think the Medical world needs to start recommending that younger people get colonoscopy's, because far to many young people are getting Colon Cancer now days. I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if insurance company's probably only pay for it after a certain age.
hey Michael. im thinking of you, i have no idea what it feels like, but im here if you need to talk, text or whatever. my email is edukier@me.com . if you need to talk, please contact me. im in the uk, but I will be here at any time to talk to you. don't hesitate to contact me. if I don't replay straight way I will as soon as I can.
Odybeatscancer - thank you so much for sharing. You are so inspiring. Did you have to have surgery? Chemo? I hope you will share more about your recovery. My insurance refused to pay for my 2nd colonoscopy years later but I went ahead and paid out of my pocket because i felt my life was worth it. I have had polyps and people say they are no big deal which sometimes they are not. But from everything I am reading from the comments, sounds like that can turn into cancer so I'm glad I got the colonoscopy.
It's my first time seeing your video thanks for sharing your story. I was Diagnosed with stage 3 rectum colon cancer on August 16, 2019 i also remember when I was so tired and weak just always felt like I was sleepy all the time. And on 8/16/19 I went to the restroom and alot of blood came out never-ending went to the ER and on the way up there I told my husband I hope its not cancer. Will they tell us its cancer from the ER I went to the 8th floor and was there for almost 3 weeks went home and started chemo in September for 6 months then they told me I had to do other 6 months after chemo I started radiation. And the whole time from day 1 on 8/16/19 till the day I was done with chemo and radiation treatments I not once cry my husband said your not nervous I looked at him and no cause God's got in his hands. Yes I went through so much pain weakness, in March 2, 2021 my last surgery so as of 9/2021 I'm cancer FREE. God bless us all and be safe ❤
Hello how are you I'm doing good now I'm just going through handling my colon reconnecting back cause I have some days that it just comes out when ever and any time and day. But have my head up and staying strong with fath and believeing, I'm not sure if ya get the Magazine (Shine) but I'm in there telling mu storie. Thanks so much for checking on me means so much.. God bless us all and be safe ❤
@@sabwut1529 I was feeling very sleepy couldn't even walk at the stores or visit family I would tell them I'm sleepy and take a nap we just thought cause I was working so much just catching up an that was like 6 months before 8/16/19
I have had stomach issues for a bit but it’s due to my anxiety that I was diagnosed with. When I get anxious it messes with my stomach. I am ok now !!! I decided to change my diet… And exercise more to help my anxiety..
Scary because this started when she was pregnant... You would think something would have shown up on 1 of the test through the pregnancy.. Bless your heart🙏❤️ the Lord is definitely with you
I have a nephew he had Crohn's extremely bad he went to Cleveland Ohio. They hooked him up to a bag for 6 months and then they take in the bag off and put him back together. He is doing okay now but you should check out Cleveland Ohio.
You look wonderful. I hope your doing well. Perhaps you should refer to your discomfort as abdominal pain not stomache aches ( which is pain in your actual stomache not intestines).
This is sad. This is such a big problem in today’s medical field. They argue with you and think they know exactly how you feel. The medical industry is a joke nowadays. Always advocate for yourself and argue with the doctors if you have to. Half of them are there for a check.
5 years is amazing!!!! Congratulations to your hubby and your family! I never had an ostomy. I had colon resection but did not requires a bag. I also had Mets in my liver

My only question now Is, what foods or drinks should i be eating and drinking before surgery to keep my strength and the same question goes for chemo. Thank you again for your bravery and honesty. God go with you and all those of you who are fighting the good fight. Peace and love my friends. 💞💞
Thank you so much for sharing your story.. I can see you haven’t commented or made new content for a long time.. I hope you are doing well ❤
You are so beautiful and very brave. God bless you!❣️
Thank you greatly for sharing your experience. Very valuable information. Very glad to see you so beautiful and radiant🌟 God bless you and keep you whole and healthy💜
Ody. Gracias por hacer este video. Lo primero que me llamo de este video es cuando mencionaste el dia de tu diagnostico- el 31 de julio que viene siendo mi cumplean-os. N o hay coincidencias. Estoy pasando por ciertas molestias parecidas y vere el gastroenterologo en enero. Espero que estes mejor y seguire tus pasos. Bendiciones para ti en 2022.
Thank you for sharing your story, You will save so many lives.
Thanks for listening
Ohh Ody,
I think your amazing and so strong.
I'm waiting on my results and you have given me much positivity.
Stay safe Ody.

Hey Jack! Stay hopeful. No use in worrying, our stories are already written anyway. (Atleast that’s how I view it) good luck! I’ll be thinking of you
Hope your results are in by now, it will be okay, either way. Cancer changed me for the better, most of us survivors find that out.

Hi Ody,
Thanks for your message.
I'm happy to say that I have had all my results back and all good (Thank god)
I had to wait 4 weeks for all the results to come back which was the longest 4 weeks of my life.
I have a couple of minor problems that I can control with my diet.
I hope all good with you and that you and your family have a lovely Christmas.
Stay safe Ody and please keep in touch.
Regards
Jack
Ody, sending you Love and Blessings. Brilliant video. Thank you.
God bless you ! Wishing you a full recovery
Very good video. Hope and pray your all better!😊
Hi 👋. I'm so happy you made it. May God bless u always. ❤️ 🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful woman, hope you are fine now! 🥰
When I had cancer and went through treatment I developed some other health problems that I didn’t realize ARE related to cancer/treatment. I developed rosacea, and re-occurring shingles, external shingles and internal shingles (you can have them in your abdomen) I still have both of those issues 12 years later. I also still have discomfort and pain and tissue shrinking because it’s becoming scar tissue due to radiation. YES! Push until you get answers and report ALL your symptoms as they can be related.
I’m sorry to hear about your lingering symptoms. Chemo is unfortunately very hard on the body! Bless you, hope you’re well!
Hang in there , wishing you the best possible outcome 4 your health issues
I too developed major health problems after extensive treatment for cervical cancer. I now have a permanent ileostomy and am in stage 4 kidney failure due to a reaction to the radiation therapies I've received. It has affected my bones and now I have osteoporosis which has required a hip replacement which unfortunately has virtually crumbled and my hip has dislocated into my pelvis and I'm in a wheelchair awaiting another surgery and because of complications will be around 10 hours duration. I am cancer free ( so far) and it has been 19 years and in that time I average 1 hospital visit per month. Obviously I have been one of the 2℅ who react to treatment but I would encourage anyone about to start treatment to ask about all possible side effects, I think Drs are inclined to mention them but don't go into specifics I would certainly have questioned part of my radiation therapy.
Thanku so much for this video. I have been having the same symptoms, thanks too you I will insist on getting things done now. Thank you Oby “God bless you for sharing.❤️”
I’m glad you are well now. 🙏
Sending prayers. 🙏
Love from Hongkong💛
Hey Winnie! It is my dream to visit Japan some day! Well wishes to you
I just turned 42 this month watching your video made me get a colonoscopy because I had similar symptoms. I do have cancer I'm just waiting for the call back on the stage 😔. If you have symptoms just get the colonoscopy don't wait and don't let yourself go into denial.
I am sorry to hear this...I am praying for you and hope all will go well.
would you mind tellling me your symptoms please?
How is this lovely young woman?God Bless you Sweetheart❤❤Love from Philly.
Thank you for posting this helpful and informative video.
So happy your happy and healthy 💗
I'm happy she's a survivor! My dad was diagnosed with 4th stage colon cancer in Oct 2013 and he passed away in June 2014. He had rounds of chemo but that only made him worse the rest of the time he had left.
You are going to save someone's life with this video. Thank you for sharing such a painful, personal experience.
You can beat this. Sharon Osborne did.
Oh my word! I did not know this! I love Sharon Osborne! Thanks so much for sharing!
@@odysurvives2111 Sharon had colon cancer in 2002 and went thru the whole treatment, surgery and chemo. She's a survivor. You can be, too. ❤️
My good friend looked very similar to you, young and pretty... she died at 43 from colon cancer. No family history. She also suffered with severe stomach pain but the doc's wouldn't properly investigate until it was too late.
Thanks for telling us your experience.
Love from Sarajevo. Kick it‘s ass, we‘re with you.
Excuse me, have you been to Bulgaria? 🇧🇬
I am waiting on results from colonoscopy, I am 20 year breast cancer survivor. Been having symptoms similar to yours. You are giving me strength no matter what news is received. Appreciate your sharing.. continued healing and health to you.
Hi friend!!!! Thanks got reaching out! Praying for your health as well, hoping you receive favorable news!!!
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
Here in Ireland the level of ppl getting bowel cancer in their 30's is ever increasing.
There have been countless news stories recently of people in their 30's going to their general docs and being told "oh, it's just IBS", then they discover far too late that they have cancer. It's despicable.
Thanks for sharing. You look amazing!
Really hope you pull through God bless
Hey! Thanks so much! I will pull through. That’s a fact
I’m surprised they didn’t check for gallbladder at least initially, I had terrible stomach pain with gallbladder attacks.
Thank you for sharing....hope you are okay now. May God bless you🙏🙏
Its not just about age. Don't let doctors medical gaslight you. As a woman, I can see how my husband is treated differently.. I am not a hypochondriac and I don't see a doctor as often as I should. I know my body. Don't let anyone make you feel you are crazy. If you have a doctor like this, find another one. Also, make sure you get your annual check up, especially if its covered by your insurance. If aren't feeling ill, screening my find out you are have a medical issue.
Thank you for sharing your story! I am wondering if you ever had problems with constipation? I am so sorry it took so long to get a diagnosis, you are so strong🥰!
How are you doing 😊😊👋
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Please stay strong ❤ 💪
Wahoo for Parrots. We have an amazing Alpine parrot here in New Zealand, known as the Kea. Love them!
How cute! Parrots make me so happy
Thank you for sharing your story, I don’t even know why this popped up in my recommendations but all the best to you!
P.S- the music was overpowering the video significantly🙈
I loved your vídeo and I hope you are doing well. My mother died when she was only 43. It was in 1975 and Medicine was not prepared to deal with cancer at that time.
Good information to know. Hope your treatment will be effective for you
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
Thank you Ma’am for sharing such a highly personal and private story and ETERNAL shame on your physicians for not listening to their patient and taking her concerns seriously. It nearly cost you your life. As a 2x cancer survivor I learned long-ago that NO ONE (CERTAINTY not your doctors), including well-intentioned, loving family members, friends, nurses and others will be your own best patient advocate. YOU must fill this roll. So many people are intimidated when it comes to questioning the judgment and decision-making of their “God” physicians. They shouldn’t be. You continued to experience persistent, worsening GI symptoms which your PCP clearly didn’t take seriously- prescribing you one H2 Blocker after another whilst having done little to no laboratory, radiological, or physical testing to determine the source of the problem. As if prescribing you a laundry list of antacids will fulfill the standard of care. It won’t and it doesn’t. The patient always knows his/her body and symptoms best. When a doctor fails you despite worsening symptoms, time to find another physician immediately. Your life depends on it. I’m so very sorry for what you’ve endured, but at least you now have answers. Never be hesitant or recalcitrant to speak-up on your own behalf. It’s your right. When something doesn’t sound or feel right, it probably isn’t. Best wishes.
Im about ready to search for my 6th Doctor. I'm just so tired & weak, Im trying to drum up the energy. Wish me luck everybody & THANKS in advance!
I see this is 4 mo old but don't see any other videos. U look so beautiful. So are u done with everything? Or just starting your journey? Yes we must be our own advocates. Thanks for shareing. Bless u sweetie!
She has lots of videos. Most recent is from one month ago. Did you click on her videos?
I’ve had colon polyps since age 19! Thank God I have regular colonoscopies and upper endoscopies to keep an eye on my body. I’ve lost count how many polyps I’ve had removed.
Now this is a true example of what preventive care should be!!!!! I don’t think many understand that polys are pre-cancer! Thank goodness you follow up properly!
How did you found that you have polyps in the first place? I mean you had some kind of symptoms or just decided to make a prophilactic colonoscopy check-up just like a health care check-up without symptoms?
@@magdalena.slavova I had horrible stomach pain and diarrhea. I have family history of digestive disorders and thankfully I had a doctor who truly listened to me and was thorough. Usually polyps have no symptoms. I was really lucky. I also am a strong advocate for my health and always get a second or third opinion if needed on health concerns.
@@srmd86 thanks for answering!
@@magdalena.slavova 😊
I hope you're doing better. Congratulations for having a kid how is she doing I hope she's doing well too hope she's healthy and well I lost someone to cancer 😢
Your bird is beautiful.
I was diagnosed in 2017 with stage 4 metastitic colon cancer now in my lungs and received over 50 chemo treatments. Please continue to post we cancer patients need to know about the different lifestyle stages of cancer. I frequently ask the Docs if i can travel and they do not have an answer.
How r u doing now
I remember forcing doctors to do screenings and an endoscopy on my mom after being in hospital for pain over and over again. How come no doctor ever thought about it? Am not even a doctor I just do my research online and boom it crossed my mind we needed to do something. Finally results came in and she had a bad wound in her stomach which could have been cancerous if it wasn't diagnosed and treated on time.. sometimes doctors assume symptoms way too much, they never take things seriously unless they see you in death bed. Crazy
Sooo true...I'm experiencing the same with my mom's doctors. 😑
Hi Ody, I haven't seen a post from you in awhile on CZcams. Hope you're ok? My husband just got diagnosed with colon cancer. He's going to talk to his doctors on Jan 18th on what to do next.
This is one of the biggest problems with cancer. Carcinomas, or cancers derived from epithelial tissues, make up 90% of human cancers and usually take 10-30 years to form. For most of that time, they will be almost entirely asymptomatic, and when they do cause symptoms, there is an extremely long list of other potential causes that are vastly more likely. For example, stomach pain and indigestion are a symptom of stomach cancer, and there are about a million other causes which are much more likely, especially in someone young. Cancers can also produce a baffling and endless array of symptoms that vary from person to person, which explains the meme about how whenever you type just about any symptom into webMD, cancer often arises as a potential diagnosis.
I hope your doing well. I guess some people can beat it and some can't. I just had a relative in her early 40's that passed away. She was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer than had spread to her liver. There was surgery on her colon, and Chemo that had to be adjusted to a very aggressive level of Chemo. None of the Chemo treatments worked The cancer then spread to her lungs. When it was decided there was no hope treatment ended hospice came and she passed a week later. It was 18 months from diagnosis to her passing. I really think the Medical world needs to start recommending that younger people get colonoscopy's, because far to many young people are getting Colon Cancer now days. I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if insurance company's probably only pay for it after a certain age.
Apparently she finally died in 2021.
@@felroberto I'm sorry to hear of her passing. Thank you for telling me.
i have stage 4 prostate cancer im so sick of the pain and feeling like crap i hope god helps me out and i can feel better

Your hair is gorgeous
Why thank you! I do miss it! I had to cut it short because my new chemo regimen causes some hair loss (not radical, but some)
Odybeatscancer - thank you so much for sharing. You are so inspiring. Did you have to have surgery? Chemo? I hope you will share more about your recovery. My insurance refused to pay for my 2nd colonoscopy years later but I went ahead and paid out of my pocket because i felt my life was worth it. I have had polyps and people say they are no big deal which sometimes they are not. But from everything I am reading from the comments, sounds like that can turn into cancer so I'm glad I got the colonoscopy.
It's my first time seeing your video thanks for sharing your story. I was Diagnosed with stage 3 rectum colon cancer on August 16, 2019 i also remember when I was so tired and weak just always felt like I was sleepy all the time. And on 8/16/19 I went to the restroom and alot of blood came out never-ending went to the ER and on the way up there I told my husband I hope its not cancer. Will they tell us its cancer from the ER I went to the 8th floor and was there for almost 3 weeks went home and started chemo in September for 6 months then they told me I had to do other 6 months after chemo I started radiation. And the whole time from day 1 on 8/16/19 till the day I was done with chemo and radiation treatments I not once cry my husband said your not nervous I looked at him and no cause God's got in his hands. Yes I went through so much pain weakness, in March 2, 2021 my last surgery so as of 9/2021 I'm cancer FREE. God bless us all and be safe ❤
Hey alice how youve been doing?
Hello how are you I'm doing good now I'm just going through handling my colon reconnecting back cause I have some days that it just comes out when ever and any time and day. But have my head up and staying strong with fath and believeing, I'm not sure if ya get the Magazine (Shine) but I'm in there telling mu storie.
Thanks so much for checking on me means so much.. God bless us all and be safe ❤
@@alicechapa4059 Before 8/16/2019 did you already have experiencing symptoms like few months ago or year?
@@sabwut1529 I was feeling very sleepy couldn't even walk at the stores or visit family I would tell them I'm sleepy and take a nap we just thought cause I was working so much just catching up an that was like 6 months before 8/16/19

Thank you! Very informative. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Im 24
I just had a successful cc surgery
Now im waiting for biopsy hope everything will be ok 👍
Ha ha ha ha you actually made a new video!!! You are soooo sweeet
Thank You, God bless you.
I have had stomach issues for a bit but it’s due to my anxiety that I was diagnosed with. When I get anxious it messes with my stomach. I am ok now !!! I decided to change my diet… And exercise more to help my anxiety..
God bless you Dear
Scary because this started when she was pregnant... You would think something would have shown up on 1 of the test through the pregnancy.. Bless your heart🙏❤️ the Lord is definitely with you
I have a nephew he had Crohn's extremely bad he went to Cleveland Ohio. They hooked him up to a bag for 6 months and then they take in the bag off and put him back together. He is doing okay now but you should check out Cleveland Ohio.
You look wonderful. I hope your doing well. Perhaps you should refer to your discomfort as abdominal pain not stomache aches ( which is pain in your actual stomache not intestines).
Hey thanks for watching! Hmmm you’re right, I guess. But I had pain coming from my stomach as well and primarily
Thanks for sharing your story ❤️❤️❤️
This is sad. This is such a big problem in today’s medical field. They argue with you and think they know exactly how you feel. The medical industry is a joke nowadays. Always advocate for yourself and argue with the doctors if you have to. Half of them are there for a check.
Hubby just celebrated 5yrs Cancer (stage 4 CC W/Mets to his liver) FREE ❣️ Congratulations! Did they leave you with an ostomy ?
5 years is amazing!!!! Congratulations to your hubby and your family! I never had an ostomy. I had colon resection but did not requires a bag. I also had Mets in my liver
OdyBeatsCancer that’s awesome ! Fatigue and bowel upset are the symptoms that linger for him, but you know how it is- we can’t complain, 😊☺️! Best of luck to you & your family ❣️

Good information and best on your health journey. Just FYI - the audio and video are a little bit out of sync.
I had bad pain twice before once last year and then in January this year turned out to be kidney stones I didn’t know until I passed them and you heard them hit the water just lie throwing a stone in the water and the pain had eased by this point I was scared by the pain because I was hunched over for hours crying and I said I would definitely go through labour then have kidney stones now I’m going through menopause but I’m always aware of my body so anything out if the ordinary I would get checked at the minute I pee a lot and I have a heavy feeling I was same last month and had sore boobs and moody and then I had a period for 3 hours and the relief my body got harmonallie was immense I had lots of energy and I’m currently feeling the same this month again so maybe I will have a small period again as I feel my harmones have level out right now because the bad hits flushes have went away last month and this month to especially as it’s my first period in over a year I’m really bloated now to but I’m not bloated in the mornings so it must be harmonal I know I’ve wrote a lot but someone on here might read it going through what I am and may not realise and know what it is we can help each other 🙏
