  • Chelsey Gomez was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at 28. After undergoing treatment she reached remission but after 3 months, scans revealed her cancer came back.
    In this cancer vlog, Chelsey shares how she sought a second opinion during her relapse, after seeing a series of red flags from her oncologist like medical gaslighting and withholding medical information, how she processed her cancer relapse and her experience of undergoing stem cell transplant.
    She now champions being a patient advocate and trusting your gut when it comes to your medical care. She also highlights the need for mental health support during and after treatment and the power of art and community in healing.

      Dear all my grandson Joseph Jacob was diagnosed with 4th stage cancer and was advised six months of chemo.
      He started chemotherapy in the month of June.
      Before going for the blood test God gave this verse.
      "But if the Spirit of him that raised up JESUS from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

      After claiming theWord.
      The blood testwas perfect
      After three weeks God gave this verse "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way nailing it to his cross.
      And having spoiled and principalities and powers,he mada a show of them openly triumphing over them in it.
      After claiming this promise the scan report came cancer free.
      Same to you all.

    Ok, please don't be offended, but I HAVE to say something. You ARE an inspiration because you're gorgeous, strong & courageous! I've been really sick for a while, nauseated, almost nonstop, and exhausted & have just come in from having lab work that I really don't feel great about . I can tell you that I only hope to have an ounce of you within me if things go where I'm concerned they may. I just want to say thank you for everything because it does and will make a difference. God bless ❤🙏🏻

    So glad you trusted your gut and made sure you got checked out. And I’m glad you were able to find a team that made you feel cared for. Definitely so true about the cancer ghosting, it really caught me off guard at first but just makes me appreciate who stayed around even more. Thank you for sharing your story Chelsey, wishing you well!

    I just love your candid humor and realness - and was so happy you finally kicked that first doctor to the curb. It is ok to talk about cancer, it is ok to talk about all parts of it, it isn't all Hollywood sunshine. It does suck. And that is OK. Glad you are doing so well!

    I had breast cancer. I know the loss of hair, but loved my various turbins and scarves! And I have to say, you are gorgeous! I guess I was so lucky I loved my oncologist! My late husband had multiple myeloma and had a stem cell transplant as well as a bone marrow transplant.

    Thanks for sharing this. I am currently going through treatment for non Hodgkin Lymphoma. I sometimes feel like you when I go to the treatment center all the other patients are much older and sometimes I feel I need to speak with someone going through the same thing. Thanks again. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 It’s funny you said Florida was shut down and the Governor said he kept Florida opened throughout the entire pandemic.

    So glad you got the 2nd opinion. I am glad that you left that onco from hell, seriously you should sue him. Not telling you what to do, but this man needs to be stopped so that he cant hurt others. Maybe report him to your insurance and the medical board for malpractice. I wish you the best in your healing journey.

    Take it from someone who knows.
    Keep going, you will get to a better place soon.

    I’m finding through research and my own data surveys that individuals who had cancer or who were in remission and took the vaxxines are having cancer return. Also, there is an alarming rate of individuals getting cancer for the first time that are “wildfire” cancers and “rare” cancers at young ages. It’s very alarming and horrific. I hope one day there will be justice.

    You must live in the U.S. My doctors here in canada are trying to convince me to allow them to suicide me (injection costs two bucks) instead of treating me (chemo and radiation would cost the system thousands). (We have the MAID program- medical assistance in dying) My life is not worth more than two dollars, apparently. Its not very nice to have doctors and nurses encouraging you to SUICIDE. "We can book you in; you'll be gone within the month". Im 34, still relatively healthy, just a bit of vision loss and minor headaches. And they want me DEAD.

      This is horrifying 😳.
      The western hemisphere governments are perpetrators of mass genocide against their population's.
      Listen, your life is sacrosanct by God Almighty.
      No one should ever ask you to end your life until God decides.
      This is murderous, sinister, evil, disturbed agenda coming from your governing elite.
      Omg to have your own state wanting you dead is a declaration of war against its population.
      You must all rise up against this evil.
      The world must fight back about what's happening.
      It's beyond terrifying.
      Please don't 🙏 ever think you are not worthy.
      You are amazing and a miracle of life.
      There is only one you.
      You are special and extremely important ❤️..
      God bless you from the UK.
      Stay strong 💪 fight back.
