The crazy and scary part of these stories is how everyone felt that something was wrong and they go to the Dr and the doctors don’t find anything smh 🙏🏽prayers to you and may you and us all be ok because it’s becoming a norm that our medical industry lets us down!
Yes. In 2018 I suddenly could.not.breathe! went to ER, tests and CT scan said nothing was wrong. Over 2 years later and after seeing 9 specialist that couldn’t find anything. I saw my 3rd cardiologist , he ask how I was doing, I said I’m going to die if someone doesn’t find out why I can not breathe . He did an MRI the following day, and finally, after 2 years of misery, he found my spleen was embedded into my left lung! What an ordeal! I’m alive but I’m home bound at age 70. When I was SO VERY Active before this happened. B/c the spleen had embedded itself into my lung for so long it damaged my lung. Before they got me to surgery, my diaphragm ripped more, causing my entire stomach to go into my chest. ( Never stop getting 2nd 3rd 4th or 10 opinions, until you are correctly diagnosed.
Maybe spend 31 years becoming a better docotr than us all???? Of course, you will no longer be able to speak like, “smh.” Whatever that is. You have to speak as an eecuTed person with multiple master’s degrees and a doctorate. No water in the classroom, at least 11 years after high school, kicked out if you are late to a class….dismissed. Goodbye. Not allowed to work taking out $600,000 in loans bc legally you cannot work in medical school. It is a full time job to learn everything. Don’t let bias creep in. But it will. 100 hour weeks, no eating drinking peeing….enjoy. And then come back and tell us how many mistakes you made. I’m sure you’ve never heard of the phrase, “When you hear hoof prints…..” but you will subscribe to it nonetheless. Starting out as a doctor after 14 years in medicine led me to suicide attempts 3x, wrecked my fertility and I have no chances of my own dream. Quit medicine bc it was literally killing me. But I gave up my life, my one dream, $24,000k of IVF, for others to look at one case and call all doctors BS. You clearly know 0 about stomach or colon cancer and how it is nestled into everybtinf else and had already spread, and very had to see, even w contrast. I’m sure you understand, to be making such a comment. Otherwise, kindly refrain. You are not a professional.
When my son was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour aged 13, that’s exactly what I said to him. Don’t be scared of the word cancer, it’s just a name for a type of illness and it doesn’t mean you won’t get better. And there are many other illnesses that are a lot worse than cancer with much worse outcomes. And yes, people don’t get it, when he has his 6 monthly MRI scans, they say oh he looks fine, he’s doing really well, but we know, the scan will show recurrence before any symptoms will. Like you, we are very direct and just get on with it. We also lost my children’s dad to cancer last year. I don’t worry about things we can’t control, and I make sure we don’t waste our days worrying, as you have to make the most of the days when you don’t have anything to worry about. We never really know if and when that could change. He is nearly 16 now and lives with many disabilities (result of 10 hours of brain surgery), but he is adapting well. He has been through so many horrendous treatments, radiotherapy to the brain and spine, 9 months of chemo. We are just glad he is alive, and he intends not to waste it and make sure he leads a full and exciting life 💛
I commend you for you and your son’s braveness. It’s difficult for me not to worry as my mom passed from pancreas cancer, my maternal grandmother colon cancer and my maternal aunt ovarian cancer. My PCP suggested I get genetic testing for gene mutations that put women at a higher risk of getting specifically breast or ovarian cancer. So I tested positive for BRCA1 gene mutation. I elected to get bilateral mastectomies and a hysterectomy. I worry literally everyday if I will get cancer since it’s prevalent in my family. Can you provide advice how not to worry? It’s very difficult for me.
@@Elizabeth-1970it’s a matter of seeing it through a more logical perspective. We can’t control what happens in the future. I can’t control my son’s future, and worrying won’t change that. But if his cancer recurs, and if he doesn’t have a long life, we would have wasted the time when he was well and everything was okay. So we have to make the most of every single day that things are okay. Worrying controls your life and stops you living it. Once you stop worrying, you feel free. But you can only do that when you accept you can’t control the future. Given 1 in 2 people will now get cancer in their lifetime, half the population could go through life worrying about it. I hope you find some peace and can find away to just enjoy being alive each day 💛
@Elizabeth-1970 You had your breasts removed, and I'm guessing you had a complete hysterectomy with ovaries removed? I think you have a very good chance of avoiding cancer because of your surgeries. Maybe get some therapy to help you see you've done all you can and you are probably worrying yourself over nothing. I would imagine you are a bit traumatized after all the surgery. Most people would be! Take care. 💕
I've been diagnosed with breastcancer 3 times. 2005, 2008 and 2016. In 2016 it had spread to my bones and it was stage 4. They said it was impossible to cure, and it couldn't even shrink. Treatment was all about buying me more time (and I had 3 children, one was newborn, 5 days old when I got the call (the second time around)). But it DID shrink. And for several years now, it looks complete "dead"/totally inactive. I guess they'll never declare me cancerfree. But they can't really say that I still got cancer either... 🙂 And I'm off medicins, since there is nothing to treat... I've met many people, heard many stories. What I've personally learned is that cancer isn't a "black or white" thing. There's almost always room for hope. Take care everyone. Love and greetings from Sweden. 🩷🩷
@@sophial.2438 I ate about 20 ecological bitter apricot kernels per day in long periods for several years. They contain a toxic substance (amygdalin) that is believed to be able to turn active in your body when it gets in contact with fast splitting cells (like cancer cells). You have to START SLOWLY, with like 2 kernels per day and then add another 2 every week until you get to where you want to be. I also drank 2-3 tablespoones of turmeric paste. If you Google "turmeric paste recipe" you'll find a recipe from "Foolproof Living" that sounds more or less identical to the one I used. I resolved the paste in ALMOST boiling oatmilk. You should go for the ecological turmeric, and NOT let it boil (in that recipe they unfortunately tell you to boil the paste...) since some of the most valuable substances can die. The third thing I did, and the only thing I still do is fasting. I stick to Dr Mosleys "5:2 diet". Look it up! I really believe it makes a difference (I do believe in the bitter kernels and turmeric aswell). There's a substance in our bodies called IGF 1. And low levels has a positive effect on both cancer, diabetes and heart disease. You can push it way down with the 5:2 diet! There is research that shows that 5:2 lowers IGF 1. And IGF 1 has been known for quite some time to have a close connection to the diseases that comes with ageing, like diabetes, cancer and heart disease... Another thing I'm just looking in to is "Turkey tail". It's a muchroom and oncologists in Sweden are researching it right now for possibly having a positive effect on cancer. This is what I've been doing "on my own". Plus trying to eat well; as little sugar and dairy as possible (oat products instead), ecological food/greens when possible, cut the junk food etc, go for walks regularly and so on. I also believe that stress is an enemy to anyone with cancer. And I've had chemo, surgeries and eventually antibody hormones (I don't know if that's the correct way to say it in English... 🤔). Peace, Love and greetings from Sweden! 🌷
I was diagnosed in December 22 stage 4 MBC, chemo completed on Tamoxifen and received results on Monday csncer markers are well within normal ranges and PET scan reflect reduction / improvements in all spots. Keep up the fight warriors.
💕🙏🏼🌷Believe and have faith you will make it, cut as much sugar as you can, fast as long as you can… these things helped save from terminal diagnosis along with chemo. I honestly believe this. Don’t just go either what one doctor says, get different opinions from different types of doctors… oncologist at the best hospital you can afford that specializes in your specific type of cancer… this is so important. Visit holistic functional doctors who also work with western medicine. Both have benefits and we need every single benefit we can get!! Best of luck❤
8 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 breastcancer that had spread to my bones. They said it would never shrink. It was about buying me as much time as possible. But it did shrink. And today 8 years later I LOOK cancer free... The spots on my bones will never disappear, because the structure has changed. But it all looks "dead"/totally inactive since several years.... I've met people, I've heard their stories, and I believe that nothing is necessarily impossible with cancer! 🙂🙏🏼 ALL the best to you!! Hugs, Love and Greetings from Sweden. 🩷🩷🩷
Hi Thank you for your story,my husband diagnosed with signet ring stomach cancer 2011 Stage 3b ,he had hart burn years and years ,he would drink 5-6 coffees a day no breakfast just a dinner at night ,his GP forever prescribed him with antiácid tablets. His cancer (5 cm) penetrated the stomach lining spread to the lymph nodes. Anyway he had 3 rounds of chemo with avastin followed by total gastrectomy and another 3 rounds of chemo with avastin,he was in operation for 15 hours,they have scraped 86 Lymph nodes(3 infected),and after 5 years he has been given all clear now year 2024 He is still cancer free,only one problem is weight loss gradually he is down from 86 kilo to 61 kilo.
it was though few years ,still ongoing 3-4 times a week he wakes up at night with bile reflux it is horrendous ,everyday we have to think about what to eat,problem is not eating he can eat anything but bile comes back at night not once 5-6 times a night..
ohh it was 10-15 years just coffee in the morning no breakfast ,lunch just dinner and endless GP visits always fobbed off with bottle of anti acid tablets,by the beginning of 2011 he was throwing up blood ,it wasn’t red It was like hundreds of rusty -black little specks. We are okey now but eating is challenging.
@@ninacalvo8823 ohh dear. I think food, big breakfast first in the morning, then coffee should be an hour after breakfast. Is it too late for that? Or he has turned to NO coffee for a while
I'm shocked that all those tests, scan and scope with biopsy showed NOTHING. That's unusual. I'm glad the right doctor did the right thing and found the cancer. So sorry. Wishing you full recovery and success 🙏❣️ Edited to say: Viola, you're a warrior! 💪👏
I think with stomach cancer depending on the scan it may not pick that up. The way that is found is with an endoscopy, a camera down the throat into the stomach to look around for growths or other anomalies, similar to a colonoscopy. If you are losing weight and not feeling well, don't rely on the scans alone to investigate what is wrong. Get a colonoscopy and an endoscopy at the same time, takes 20 minutes and then they will know.
Yes! You must push! Doctors are busy and are desensitized to symptoms. Also they know almost always it ISNT cancer. We have just as much as a responsibility to get in there and push, if we don’t get answers next doctor ect.
Yes I agree, that is what I'am doing, we have the right to look after our own bodies. I got through stage 4 bowel cancer, if something is not right I demand a test.
I'm a cancer survivor myself and I agree with you! It really does change your life and your outlook changes. People really don't get it. And they never will unless they get cancer themselves. That's all there is to it. ❤
I love how you mention not even your family really understands it. People don’t know what it’s like if you actually have a fear to lose your life. Thank you for your video.
Well of course they don’t. If someone doesn’t have it how could they understand? It’s like saying a man can understand a period? Why would they? How could they? You don’t want your family to understand, that means they also have cancer. There’s plenty of places that do have people that completely understand tho! Support groups for people with cancer! And most oncologists have resources for these groups and therapists as well! We can’t expect our families to get it, they simple cannot. Like a woman in labor, her husband cannot understand the pain
You have to be stubborn to win this battle! My life after cancer is not easy at all …. I changed my life completely…. I have been still criticised many times for my behaviour or beliefs…. But I AM ALIVE!!!
So scary that you had a cancer and professionals couldn’t find it. Sending prayers and love from another Polish women ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 ( Niagara Falls,Canada)🥰😘
My brother died of stomach cancer in 2002, aged 38. He had been unwell for about 18 months. His illness was misdiagnosed multiple times over a period of a year - yet it was very obvious that he was unwell. Stomach cancer was not considered a possibility given his age ('too young'). He finally phoned a surgeon out of desperation - the next day he underwent an exploratory procedure. A tumor the size of a grapefruit was found - stage 4. He died three months from the day of diagnosis. My parents died in 2019, still grieving. RIP Brent.
This happens to two many people. I am going through this now, and so tired of being brushed off by doctors. If your bloods are ok and a scan is ok then you're fine, even though you feel rotten, you are very weak, in pain and losing weight fast, nobody listens. I hope you keep on getting stronger and you stay well.
Bloodtest & Full Blood Count Tests are different, I had Thyrotoxicosis for Years & fobbed off, apparently all in my head, anxiety etc etc , glad a new Dr listened or I'd be dead by heart attack or stroke by no'w.
I'm going through this my blood work is bad I'm so sick can't eat tired so tired .I have a bone marrow aspiration done in July.They don't know.Stomach pain alot
Mary, it means so much to me ❤😢… Many time I feel very alone and not understood but…. my persistence to live and be the light for other cancer fighters is bigger than any negative energy from other people.❤❤❤
@@ItsbeautifulmeI never got the jab either but I've barely been making it since having covid in 2021. I don't "think" i have cancer, but I have many issues undiagnosed and feel like I'm knocking on deaths doors. Man- made viruses can wreak havoc on your whole system. Doctors don't know what to do about it either.
I have nasty autoimmune disorder and I increased D3 and k2, quercitin, B12 ,and Essiac Tea and my inflammatory markers are down 85% . I wasn't vaccinated.
My Aunt was sick for at least 3 years. She seen several Dr’s and none of them found a problem. She became quite ill and wasn’t able to keep food down for several days. It was a weekend so she had to go into the ER. After many, many tests and a night at the hospital they said she was fine, they sent her home. 2 days later she passed away from Bone Cancer. I felt extremely frustrated that all those years of being in pain, seeing Dr after Dr, so many tests. She passed away in October 2022.
So sorry @tambij 😢 for your aunt and for you. Too much pain, physically and mentally ! I'm glad for her that she had you and was loved and cared for, by her family at least...
My partners mother is going through this. She found out she was stage 4 lung cancer after months of going to the doctors and er with pains and problems. They would do tests and tell her it was a bronchial infection for months, and then pneumonia for months and all of a sudden stage 4 lung cancer!!
That’s terrible!!! I’m so sorry for your loss. Doctors need to be more vigilant when people say things don’t feel right. I’m so saddened over the amount of people dying due to misdiagnosis and statistics 🤦🏻♀️ No one is too young for a disease or condition. We are all prone to anything these days. May she RIP
Hello. I am living the same experience. 5 months ago I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and on March 5th I had surgery, a Total Gastrectomy. For now I am recovering from surgery, waiting for the next cycle of chemotherapy and radiotherapy to begin at the same time. I hope to God that everything goes well. I hope Viola is doing well!
Thank you for sharing your story. My Mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer the same time as you and the doctor gave her 1-3 years. We lost her December 1st of that year. After she started chemo, she didn’t have even one good day. My Mom was very very strong. It was the hardest year in my life seeing her suffer so much. She couldn’t eat or drink the last 3 weeks of her life but she was still vomiting all of the time from the tumor. Glad you’re feeling good and doing well!! Best wishes for a long life!!! ❤❤
My mother died from cancer too. You are right. It is horrible. She could not keep anything down. It had spread all through her. She suffered but always a smile when she saw me as usual. I miss her every day. She was a wonderful person and my hero.
@@Canada4evermore yes, same!!! My Mom went through so much and she didn’t complain one time. Not even one!!! She is my hero also and I miss her so much every day.
All I can say is God help you 2 watch your mam suffer like that is so so heart breaking and very sad it's something you will never for get my mam also passed away in 2017 long battle with cancer when I look back I'm sorry I asked her 2 fight it!
@@lisatravers3351 I understand that. It’s natural for us to want them around as long as possible but I regret not telling my Mom the same. She always put others first. Always.
Thank you for sharing your amazing story to help others and my husband have stage 4 Stomach Cancer.. Sending prayers to you and your beautiful family. What a strong 💪 woman .. My husband did 10 rounds of chemotherapy it been so difficult times.. Praying for a miracle 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you again and God bless🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing story. You are a winner! I good to hear a great outcome. Mom fought too but didn't win the war with stomach cancer. She had just retired. Blessings for sharing.
My mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer at 50 and passed away just shy of her 55 birthday. She also was stage 4 and had numerous surgeries, removal of spleen, kidney stents, colostomy, and ultimately ended up on TPN before she passed. It is a devastating disease, thank you for sharing your story. One thing that always brings me hope is with new treatments and genetic testing people are living with cancer... it's not always a death sentence. Prayers to you that you continue to be NED.
That, I believe is the best….cancer is so ‘tricky’ each person should make their ‘own’ decision & be ‘respected for that!!! We are all different physically & emotionally & what works for one may never work for another…. Wish the best for you, you are a trooper!!!
My mom goes through stage 4 of gastric cancer as well. It has spread to her liver, and she is going through chemo right now. At first, I was terrified about chemotherapy. However, after 11 heavy chemo sessions, I would like to admit that having a hopeful spirit is the key element. don't think about the process, just focus on healing and improving your strength. God help all of us ❤️
my dad is going through the same he's on stage 4 stomach cancer that spread to the liver the protocol is only chemotherapy he'll be starting next week M so exhausted as I can't stop crying cuz his doctor told us he won't be cured we'll only do chemo to keep him alive as long as they can that's it
😭😭😭😭 my mom finished 12 courses and after pet scan result came back we saw that the progression of tomurs of liver are stopped and some of them got shrinked or gone howevere the stomach tomur ,lymph nodes are pretty the same, the doctor also told me that there is no cure 😭😭😭😭😭 we are currently looking forward to the result of targeted teraphy , my mom is in rest for about two month since last chemo and hopefully we are going to start next round in one month I just want to say I know what are you going through Everyday is like living in he'll, but what choice do we have other than fighting for our lived ones😭😭😭😭And we should remember doctors are not God, no one can determine how long someone will be alive, just keep it positive Also our doctor said that there is a trial called gene teraphy that may be become available in 2 ,3 years 😔 if we can hang in there this time may be miracle will happen @ikramlalune7346
I have had several CT scans,and ultrasounds.The Dr.said they came back clear.I had blood test too.The scans don't show cancer unless it is a large amount in your system.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm going through several tests right now... I am in pain constantly and am grateful when nighttime comes so I can sleep. I'm alone now, my children live 1,500 miles from me... I have many friends but don't want to burden them. I'm happy you are a survivor... Blessings to you and your family. 🙏🌹
You're a fantastic self advocate!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It's wild how others will respond or not at all when we look healthy...we tell them we're not and they don't believe it...just wild. You are amazingly strong👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have stage 2 cardia-gastric cancer and my heart breaks to hear that so many of us have been dismissed, not only by medical professionals, but continue to get dismissed by our own family and friends. Perhaps it's just my bad luck, but despite fighting for my life because I've totally lost the ability to eat and digest solid food (and lost 12 kilos in just a few months), I hear people making stupid remarks about my appearance -- that I still look "good" for being so sick and they question why I smile so much. They don't care about the fact that taking just a 5-minute shower depletes me for an entire day, that I'm up all night and every night vomiting my guts out, that I'm in so much pain that even my hair hurts. I do all my daily crying alone and muster up enough energy to smile when I'm around people because I hate for others to feel bad but also because I don't want to look weak and be pitied. If I don't smile, I cry, if I don't cry, I get angry and if I don't get angry, I go back to crying. It's a cycle I struggle with everyday so I choose to smile out of necessity, not because I'm some type of a masochist who enjoys suffering and pain. I wish I had a better support network. Just remember that the biggest smiles hide the deepest pain. If you're going through this, trust yourself, be proud of your own strength but most importantly love yourself. You can only rely on yourself and you're the only one who's guaranteed to be there for you until the end so practice self-compassion and don't expect anything from anyone in your life. Be your own hero and saviour. I send you all my love!
You are such a beautiful and brave woman. ❤ Keep on going ❤ You remind me of me when I was 18 with a limfoma.. doctors wanted me to STOP living but I refused and continued to play tennis, to study, to go out with friends... and they were suprised by the quick positive results I got.. So, I understand you and wish you all the best ❤
Amazing story; but that was really tough. I'm so sorry Viola had to go thru this. Thank God you advocated for self!! Strong positive mindset. Sending peace and good health!!
What an amazing inspiration you are to your family, friends and other people who experienced or will experience similar situations. Wishing you all the very best in your journey to health.
How did they finally find it then??? So you had stage 4 cancer and it didn't even show up on a CT scan or even from the endoscopy or biopsy??? This is scary.😢 I'm glad you're ok now, thank God. ❤
You are one brave and positive person. May you be blessed with a healthy happy long life along with your hubby and kids. Wish you all the luck in future as well! ❤❤
Wow, i too, was gaslighted! I had 2 mammograms in 2022 & both times i was told it was nothing. Clear, all good, even though i said something isn't right initially, felt tissue changing, then a definite lump in R breast. My primary physicians order for ultrasound was not taken/denied because Radiologist "felt i didn't need it." That Radiologist never came to talk to me. I still cannot believe that happened!!! By the time i got to different faciliry it was Stage 3 - 4 😢 I am lucky to be alive. I am so glad you will be ok!❤
I especially love what you said about people not understanding how life-changing it is to have a cancer. There’s no guarantee, with most cancers, that it’s gone, even after treatment. Mine was breast cancer. I wish you continued good health, Miss Viola.
You are amazing. I'm sure when people tell you you'll be fine they are telling you what they want to believe (and are scared of the alternative). They mean well but you need to trust your own judgement. Ultimately, it's you alone that has to go through it. Great video.
Thank you for your encouraging story. My husband has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Peritoneal Cancer. He is going through chemo now and hoping to have the Hipec surgery. It’s so frightening but sharing your journey has been a comfort. I admire your strength and courage. I pray that you will continue to be strong and healthy.
Stomach cancer is usually diagnosed at a later stage. My mom had stomach cancer, and it was diagnosed earlier due to Alzheimer's Disease. She was 71 when she was diagnosed with stomach cancer AND Alzheimer's Disease. She had a partial gastrectomy for the stomach cancer. She died at age 87.
My uncle died in 2014 of stomach cancer. My aunt just this March had been feeling unwell for the entire year before. They chalked it up to indigestion, gave her omeprazole and told her to take it until she started to feel better despite her brother dying from cancer. Until one day she started vomiting after eating and horrible back pain. To soon not being able to eat because she was so constipated. Still, they refused to give her any tests. One day in March it was so bad they decided finally to give her a CT, where they found a huge tumor in her stomach, enlarged lymph nodes throughout her body, and tumors in her breasts. They did biopsies and she was diagnosed staged 4. She lived until June. It took her so fast. During her stay at the hospital she underwent genetic testing and she was positive for the CDH1 gene mutation. She is the youngest of 10 children one who is my dad. So far 3 siblings have tested positive, one uncle who they discovered has the start of stomach cancer this past week. My dad is awaiting his results, and I’m in limbo awaiting my genetic results and colonoscopy due to the stomach issues I’ve been having. Praying I don’t test positive, my sister doesn’t, my cousins don’t, my children don’t, and that the disease ends with my uncle. I’m 27 and have 2 kids and a loving husband. I’d love more than anything to watch my kids get married and grow old with my husband.
My daughter had cancer at the age of 17. She had a blood cancer with no symptoms aside from a couple swollen lymph nodes and a bump on her head. One thing I learned is that every cancer journey is unique and everyone reacts to it differently. My daughter is still in remission after 1 year in hospital and two more years of outpatient chemo over q5 years ago. It was an excruciating experience that I do not wish on anyone. I am glad that you are doing well and I hope your remission continues well into old age.
You are one impressive woman! You will know you did your best, faced many difficult things head-on, and fought very hard. No wonder your cancer has been scared off ! Best of luck...
My brother-in-law recently had his stomach removed and his abdomen filled with chemo fluid the same way. He was nearly catatonic for weeks, though he has recovered now. Incredibly traumatic, I’m so sorry you had to do this.
Omg Viola, I have had many endoscopies, gastroscopies and colonoscopies, biopsies, CT, radiation CT scans and MRIs and bloods. They refer me to someone else who gets all the above tests done again and told me that there’s bad ulcerated areas but they don’t think it’s any cancer but they don’t know so I’m still feeling extremely weak and sick and they have ordered another set of colonoscopy, gastroscopy, biopsies and scans!! I’m fed up now! 😞
I understand you are fed up! If felt the same way but endured because my husband kept pushing me. They eventually found a 1 cm tumor in my small intestine (had ulcers in the stomach before) after testing me for quite some time. My first PET scan in April 2021 did not show anything and suddenly it lit up in my PET scan in January 2023. But the fight goes on as they don’t want to take it out because it is too small and too deep in my small intestine. We cannot give up ! We must push on and test … (got my annual CT scan in august 😅). Like the lady in the video; even if you got your diagnosis: you still need to fight
Pani jest bardzo , bardzo dzielna. Dzieki temu ,ze sie Pani nie poddawała systemowi Pani żyje. Po Australii spodziewalabym się lepiej wyedukowanych lekarzy. Bardziej oddanych pacjenowi, ale lekarzami są ludzie z różnymi standartami moralnymi i bardzo zróżnicowanej mentalnosci i kulturze.Wielu zostalo pewnie lekarzami bo posiadali dobra pamięć i chcieli dobrze zarabiać. Życzę Pani Wszystkiego Najlepszego, bo Pani na to zasługuje.

You clearly know 0 about stomach or colon cancer and how it is nestled into everybtinf else and had already spread, and very had to see, even w contrast. I’m sure you understand, to be making such a comment. Otherwise, kindly refrain. You are not a professional.
So true!!
When my son was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour aged 13, that’s exactly what I said to him. Don’t be scared of the word cancer, it’s just a name for a type of illness and it doesn’t mean you won’t get better. And there are many other illnesses that are a lot worse than cancer with much worse outcomes. And yes, people don’t get it, when he has his 6 monthly MRI scans, they say oh he looks fine, he’s doing really well, but we know, the scan will show recurrence before any symptoms will. Like you, we are very direct and just get on with it. We also lost my children’s dad to cancer last year. I don’t worry about things we can’t control, and I make sure we don’t waste our days worrying, as you have to make the most of the days when you don’t have anything to worry about. We never really know if and when that could change. He is nearly 16 now and lives with many disabilities (result of 10 hours of brain surgery), but he is adapting well. He has been through so many horrendous treatments, radiotherapy to the brain and spine, 9 months of chemo. We are just glad he is alive, and he intends not to waste it and make sure he leads a full and exciting life 💛
I commend you for you and your son’s braveness. It’s difficult for me not to worry as my mom passed from pancreas cancer, my maternal grandmother colon cancer and my maternal aunt ovarian cancer. My PCP suggested I get genetic testing for gene mutations that put women at a higher risk of getting specifically breast or ovarian cancer. So I tested positive for BRCA1 gene mutation. I elected to get bilateral mastectomies and a hysterectomy. I worry literally everyday if I will get cancer since it’s prevalent in my family. Can you provide advice how not to worry? It’s very difficult for me.
@@Elizabeth-1970it’s a matter of seeing it through a more logical perspective. We can’t control what happens in the future. I can’t control my son’s future, and worrying won’t change that. But if his cancer recurs, and if he doesn’t have a long life, we would have wasted the time when he was well and everything was okay. So we have to make the most of every single day that things are okay. Worrying controls your life and stops you living it. Once you stop worrying, you feel free. But you can only do that when you accept you can’t control the future. Given 1 in 2 people will now get cancer in their lifetime, half the population could go through life worrying about it. I hope you find some peace and can find away to just enjoy being alive each day 💛
Prayers for your son. I Peter 2:24 You have been through a lot. So sorry.
@Elizabeth-1970 You had your breasts removed, and I'm guessing you had a complete hysterectomy with ovaries removed? I think you have a very good chance of avoiding cancer because of your surgeries. Maybe get some therapy to help you see you've done all you can and you are probably worrying yourself over nothing. I would imagine you are a bit traumatized after all the surgery. Most people would be! Take care. 💕
Sending many hugs and prayers 🙏❤
I hope Viola is doing well .
What a brave lady! My heart goes out to her!
Keep going! My Mom was 80 and survived cancer twice! She never gave up! I hope the Lord protects and keeps you in his loving hands!
Only god who has no son and who is not father can protect you! Jesus was not and is not god!
I've been diagnosed with breastcancer 3 times. 2005, 2008 and 2016. In 2016 it had spread to my bones and it was stage 4.
They said it was impossible to cure, and it couldn't even shrink. Treatment was all about buying me more time (and I had 3 children, one was newborn, 5 days old when I got the call (the second time around)).
But it DID shrink. And for several years now, it looks complete "dead"/totally inactive.
I guess they'll never declare me cancerfree. But they can't really say that I still got cancer either... 🙂 And I'm off medicins, since there is nothing to treat...
I've met many people, heard many stories. What I've personally learned is that cancer isn't a "black or white" thing. There's almost always room for hope.
Take care everyone.
Love and greetings from Sweden. 🩷🩷
Can you share how you've been able to keep a stage 4 diagnosis at bay for 8 years?
What are you doing or taking?
What is your protocol?
@@sophial.2438
I ate about 20 ecological bitter apricot kernels per day in long periods for several years. They contain a toxic substance (amygdalin) that is believed to be able to turn active in your body when it gets in contact with fast splitting cells (like cancer cells). You have to START SLOWLY, with like 2 kernels per day and then add another 2 every week until you get to where you want to be.
I also drank 2-3 tablespoones of turmeric paste. If you Google "turmeric paste recipe" you'll find a recipe from "Foolproof Living" that sounds more or less identical to the one I used.
I resolved the paste in ALMOST boiling oatmilk. You should go for the ecological turmeric, and NOT let it boil (in that recipe they unfortunately tell you to boil the paste...) since some of the most valuable substances can die.
The third thing I did, and the only thing I still do is fasting.
I stick to Dr Mosleys "5:2 diet". Look it up! I really believe it makes a difference (I do believe in the bitter kernels and turmeric aswell). There's a substance in our bodies called IGF 1. And low levels has a positive effect on both cancer, diabetes and heart disease. You can push it way down with the 5:2 diet! There is research that shows that 5:2 lowers IGF 1. And IGF 1 has been known for quite some time to have a close connection to the diseases that comes with ageing, like diabetes, cancer and heart disease...
Another thing I'm just looking in to is "Turkey tail". It's a muchroom and oncologists in Sweden are researching it right now for possibly having a positive effect on cancer.
This is what I've been doing "on my own". Plus trying to eat well; as little sugar and dairy as possible (oat products instead), ecological food/greens when possible, cut the junk food etc, go for walks regularly and so on. I also believe that stress is an enemy to anyone with cancer.
And I've had chemo, surgeries and eventually antibody hormones (I don't know if that's the correct way to say it in English... 🤔).
Peace, Love and greetings from Sweden! 🌷
I was diagnosed in December 22 stage 4 MBC, chemo completed on Tamoxifen and received results on Monday csncer markers are well within normal ranges and PET scan reflect reduction / improvements in all spots. Keep up the fight warriors.
How did you get rid of your cancer?
@@sophial.2438 My answered seems to get blocked or something... ? I'll try again for a third time. 🫤
God bless you, I got same diagnosis 6 weeks ago and now on chemo and hoping to qualify for HIPEC in 2 months. God willing 🙏
best luck to you! fingers crossed
All the very best. I hope everything works out for you and that you receive all the best possible and available treatment. Much love to you xx
💕🙏🏼🌷Believe and have faith you will make it, cut as much sugar as you can, fast as long as you can… these things helped save from terminal diagnosis along with chemo. I honestly believe this. Don’t just go either what one doctor says, get different opinions from different types of doctors… oncologist at the best hospital you can afford that specializes in your specific type of cancer… this is so important. Visit holistic functional doctors who also work with western medicine. Both have benefits and we need every single benefit we can get!! Best of luck❤
God Bless!❤
8 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 breastcancer that had spread to my bones. They said it would never shrink. It was about buying me as much time as possible.
But it did shrink. And today 8 years later I LOOK cancer free... The spots on my bones will never disappear, because the structure has changed. But it all looks "dead"/totally inactive since several years....
I've met people, I've heard their stories, and I believe that nothing is necessarily impossible with cancer! 🙂🙏🏼
ALL the best to you!!
Hugs, Love and Greetings from Sweden. 🩷🩷🩷
Hi Thank you for your story,my husband diagnosed with signet ring stomach cancer 2011
Stage 3b ,he had hart burn years and years ,he would drink 5-6 coffees a day no breakfast just a dinner at night ,his GP forever prescribed him with antiácid tablets.
His cancer (5 cm) penetrated the stomach lining spread to the lymph nodes.
Anyway he had 3 rounds of chemo with avastin followed by total gastrectomy and another 3 rounds of chemo with avastin,he was in operation for 15 hours,they have scraped 86
Lymph nodes(3 infected),and after 5 years he has been given all clear now year 2024
He is still cancer free,only one problem is weight loss gradually he is down from 86 kilo
to 61 kilo.
I'm praying for you both . It's a horrible disease just horrible. So happy to read your darling is cancer free. ❤
it was though few years ,still ongoing 3-4 times a week he wakes up at night with bile reflux it is horrendous ,everyday we have to think about what to eat,problem is not eating he can eat anything but bile comes back at night not once 5-6 times a night..
I hope you both are well now. How many years did he do 5-6 coffees a day ?
ohh it was 10-15 years just coffee in the morning no breakfast ,lunch just dinner and endless GP visits always fobbed off with bottle of anti acid tablets,by the beginning of 2011 he was throwing up blood ,it wasn’t red
It was like hundreds of rusty -black little specks.
We are okey now but eating is challenging.
@@ninacalvo8823 ohh dear. I think food, big breakfast first in the morning, then coffee should be an hour after breakfast. Is it too late for that? Or he has turned to NO coffee for a while
I'm shocked that all those tests, scan and scope with biopsy showed NOTHING. That's unusual. I'm glad the right doctor did the right thing and found the cancer. So sorry. Wishing you full recovery and success 🙏❣️
Edited to say: Viola, you're a warrior! 💪👏
That happens alot!! It's happened to me.
I think with stomach cancer depending on the scan it may not pick that up. The way that is found is with an endoscopy, a camera down the throat into the stomach to look around for growths or other anomalies, similar to a colonoscopy. If you are losing weight and not feeling well, don't rely on the scans alone to investigate what is wrong. Get a colonoscopy and an endoscopy at the same time, takes 20 minutes and then they will know.
@@TheJetstream10 I only got a colonoscopy. That's why the moron missed my pancreatic cancer.
Great reminder to actively advocate for yourself.🧡
Yes! You must push! Doctors are busy and are desensitized to symptoms. Also they know almost always it ISNT cancer. We have just as much as a responsibility to get in there and push, if we don’t get answers next doctor ect.
Yes I agree, that is what I'am doing, we have the right to look after our own bodies. I got through stage 4 bowel cancer, if something is not right I demand a test.
I'm a cancer survivor myself and I agree with you! It really does change your life and your outlook changes. People really don't get it. And they never will unless they get cancer themselves. That's all there is to it. ❤
Well Said, Peace Love And Blessings From A Breast Cancer Survivor 🙏💐
😮
❤You are very attractive, and brave.
@@silvietee7447 Thank you 🥰
So true
I love how you mention not even your family really understands it. People don’t know what it’s like if you actually have a fear to lose your life. Thank you for your video.
Well of course they don’t. If someone doesn’t have it how could they understand? It’s like saying a man can understand a period? Why would they? How could they? You don’t want your family to understand, that means they also have cancer. There’s plenty of places that do have people that completely understand tho! Support groups for people with cancer! And most oncologists have resources for these groups and therapists as well! We can’t expect our families to get it, they simple cannot. Like a woman in labor, her husband cannot understand the pain
You have to be stubborn to win this battle! My life after cancer is not easy at all …. I changed my life completely…. I have been still criticised many times for my behaviour or beliefs…. But I AM ALIVE!!!
Noone does it's awful.
What a strong 💪 woman.
So scary that you had a cancer and professionals couldn’t find it. Sending prayers and love from another Polish women ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 ( Niagara Falls,Canada)🥰😘
My brother died of stomach cancer in 2002, aged 38. He had been unwell for about 18 months. His illness was misdiagnosed multiple times over a period of a year - yet it was very obvious that he was unwell. Stomach cancer was not considered a possibility given his age ('too young'). He finally phoned a surgeon out of desperation - the next day he underwent an exploratory procedure. A tumor the size of a grapefruit was found - stage 4. He died three months from the day of diagnosis. My parents died in 2019, still grieving. RIP Brent.
It’s the most difficult thing to lose your loved ones, I totally understand that feeling, I lost my father in 2022 because of Covid, still grieving…
Wow,I’m truly sorry to hear this 😢
So sorry..I've lost almost all my family from cancer
@@RhondaStevens-t4l oh no…I am so sorry to hear that🥺
RIP Brent and parents ❤❤❤
This happens to two many people. I am going through this now, and so tired of being brushed off by doctors. If your bloods are ok and a scan is ok then you're fine, even though you feel rotten, you are very weak, in pain and losing weight fast, nobody listens. I hope you keep on getting stronger and you stay well.
Bloodtest & Full Blood Count Tests are different, I had Thyrotoxicosis for Years & fobbed off, apparently all in my head, anxiety etc etc , glad a new Dr listened or I'd be dead by heart attack or stroke by no'w.
Check out Dr. Hulda Clark's protocols. She has a book, free on our website, called the Cure for All Cancers.
Scans can't see inside of certain organs, even CT scans. That why colonoscopy and endoscopy show what is going on INSIDE.
Same here
I'm going through this my blood work is bad I'm so sick can't eat tired so tired .I have a bone marrow aspiration done in July.They don't know.Stomach pain alot
Viola, I think we in the world are the big winners, with you to show us the vibrant lifeforce that radiates fearlessly. Love you!
Mary, it means so much to me ❤😢…
Many time I feel very alone and not understood but…. my persistence to live and be the light for other cancer fighters is bigger than any negative energy from other people.❤❤❤
This woman is the epitome
of inner strength. ❤🤗🙏
I can't believe the number of young people I know now who have cancer . Your in my prayers.
Welcome to Post Covid era
@@yume816I know! Why won’t people connect the dots?
@@Tatertot274I got it but didn’t get vaxed not sure what’s happening
@@ItsbeautifulmeI never got the jab either but I've barely been making it since having covid in 2021. I don't "think" i have cancer, but I have many issues undiagnosed and feel like I'm knocking on deaths doors. Man- made viruses can wreak havoc on your whole system. Doctors don't know what to do about it either.
I have nasty autoimmune disorder and I increased D3 and k2, quercitin, B12 ,and Essiac Tea and my inflammatory markers are down 85% . I wasn't vaccinated.
My Aunt was sick for at least 3 years. She seen several Dr’s and none of them found a problem. She became quite ill and wasn’t able to keep food down for several days. It was a weekend so she had to go into the ER. After many, many tests and a night at the hospital they said she was fine, they sent her home. 2 days later she passed away from Bone Cancer. I felt extremely frustrated that all those years of being in pain, seeing Dr after Dr, so many tests. She passed away in October 2022.
So sorry @tambij 😢 for your aunt and for you. Too much pain, physically and mentally ! I'm glad for her that she had you and was loved and cared for, by her family at least...
They spend seven years studying, and then the system eats them up! I’m sure some doctors know they could do more.
My partners mother is going through this. She found out she was stage 4 lung cancer after months of going to the doctors and er with pains and problems. They would do tests and tell her it was a bronchial infection for months, and then pneumonia for months and all of a sudden stage 4 lung cancer!!
That’s terrible!!! I’m so sorry for your loss. Doctors need to be more vigilant when people say things don’t feel right. I’m so saddened over the amount of people dying due to misdiagnosis and statistics 🤦🏻♀️ No one is too young for a disease or condition. We are all prone to anything these days. May she RIP
Your poor auntie how awful it’s so scary to hear this
Hello. I am living the same experience. 5 months ago I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and on March 5th I had surgery, a Total Gastrectomy. For now I am recovering from surgery, waiting for the next cycle of chemotherapy and radiotherapy to begin at the same time. I hope to God that everything goes well. I hope Viola is doing well!
All the best wishes to you, God Bless You!
🙏💐
This is one of the hardest things to go through. I hope things go well for you.
Thank you 🙏🏻 beautiful lady ! You are so inspiring 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Was it stage 4?
Thank you The Patient Story for giving a platform to hear these inspiring stories from these beautiful people. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. My Mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer the same time as you and the doctor gave her 1-3 years. We lost her December 1st of that year. After she started chemo, she didn’t have even one good day. My Mom was very very strong. It was the hardest year in my life seeing her suffer so much. She couldn’t eat or drink the last 3 weeks of her life but she was still vomiting all of the time from the tumor. Glad you’re feeling good and doing well!! Best wishes for a long life!!! ❤❤
My mother died from cancer too. You are right. It is horrible. She could not keep anything down. It had spread all through her. She suffered but always a smile when she saw me as usual. I miss her every day. She was a wonderful person and my hero.
Your Mom is at a much better place now, no pain, no sickness. ❤
@@Canada4evermore yes, same!!! My Mom went through so much and she didn’t complain one time. Not even one!!! She is my hero also and I miss her so much every day.
All I can say is God help you 2 watch your mam suffer like that is so so heart breaking and very sad it's something you will never for get my mam also passed away in 2017 long battle with cancer when I look back I'm sorry I asked her 2 fight it!
@@lisatravers3351 I understand that. It’s natural for us to want them around as long as possible but I regret not telling my Mom the same. She always put others first. Always.
Thank you for sharing your amazing story to help others and my husband have stage 4 Stomach Cancer..
Sending prayers to you and your beautiful family.
What a strong 💪 woman ..
My husband did 10 rounds of chemotherapy it been so difficult times.. Praying for a miracle 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you again and God bless🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your inner strength is admirable. The best to you. Thank you for sharing your story to help others.
this is one tough lady! I admire slavic women
God bless you and keep you cancer free. This is a great video and very helpful.
WOW!!! What a strong, intelligent, inspirational person you are. We need people like you in this world. Fight the fight, lovely lady X
She was her own advocate, made her own choices, said yes and said no! That’s why she’s alive. Good for you girlie 💪
Amazing story. You are a winner! I good to hear a great outcome. Mom fought too but didn't win the war with stomach cancer. She had just retired. Blessings for sharing.
My mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer at 50 and passed away just shy of her 55 birthday. She also was stage 4 and had numerous surgeries, removal of spleen, kidney stents, colostomy, and ultimately ended up on TPN before she passed. It is a devastating disease, thank you for sharing your story. One thing that always brings me hope is with new treatments and genetic testing people are living with cancer... it's not always a death sentence. Prayers to you that you continue to be NED.
Prayers to you Viola ❤❤❤🙏
Viola you radiate light….I just love your positive attitude. God bless you.
I think this lady survived through sheer determination. Exercise is soooo important and this definitely helped. Good for her
And yet doctors tell you to rest and don't do too much. Ignore them is best. I feel it's the only reason I'm here still
I do too. ❤
You are amazing and an inspiration. I'm a cancer survivor also....
I am a breast cancer survivor and so inspired by this beautiful soul.❤
I am glad you kept advocating for yourself. I don't know why they were so reluctant...
Prayers and love.
Very touching story from a strong lady, good luck and blessings on you
That dr saved your life!! Wishing you a full recovery and lots of happiness!
That, I believe is the best….cancer is so ‘tricky’ each person should make their ‘own’ decision & be ‘respected for that!!! We are all different physically & emotionally & what works for one may never work for another…. Wish the best for you, you are a trooper!!!
My mom goes through stage 4 of gastric cancer as well. It has spread to her liver, and she is going through chemo right now. At first, I was terrified about chemotherapy. However, after 11 heavy chemo sessions, I would like to admit that having a hopeful spirit is the key element. don't think about the process, just focus on healing and improving your strength. God help all of us ❤️
❤
How is she doing? Are the doctors able to remove the tumor?
my dad is going through the same he's on stage 4 stomach cancer that spread to the liver the protocol is only chemotherapy he'll be starting next week M so exhausted as I can't stop crying cuz his doctor told us he won't be cured we'll only do chemo to keep him alive as long as they can that's it
Vax??
😭😭😭😭 my mom finished 12 courses and after pet scan result came back we saw that the progression of tomurs of liver are stopped and some of them got shrinked or gone howevere the stomach tomur ,lymph nodes are pretty the same, the doctor also told me that there is no cure 😭😭😭😭😭 we are currently looking forward to the result of targeted teraphy , my mom is in rest for about two month since last chemo and hopefully we are going to start next round in one month
I just want to say I know what are you going through
Everyday is like living in he'll, but what choice do we have other than fighting for our lived ones😭😭😭😭And we should remember doctors are not God, no one can determine how long someone will be alive, just keep it positive
Also our doctor said that there is a trial called gene teraphy that may be become available in 2 ,3 years 😔 if we can hang in there this time may be miracle will happen @ikramlalune7346
I have had several CT scans,and ultrasounds.The Dr.said they came back clear.I had blood test too.The scans don't show cancer unless it is a large amount in your system.
Exactly, certain cancers, there's a small chance you will be able to catch it early.
You need ct with contrast.

@MugenNeuspeed Yes always ask for that .
@MugenNeuspeed they used contrast on me,but still didn't see it.

You are strong to tell everyone about your experience. I wish you the best in your future and enjoy every moment with your family and friends.
I have stage 2 cardia-gastric cancer and my heart breaks to hear that so many of us have been dismissed, not only by medical professionals, but continue to get dismissed by our own family and friends. Perhaps it's just my bad luck, but despite fighting for my life because I've totally lost the ability to eat and digest solid food (and lost 12 kilos in just a few months), I hear people making stupid remarks about my appearance -- that I still look "good" for being so sick and they question why I smile so much. They don't care about the fact that taking just a 5-minute shower depletes me for an entire day, that I'm up all night and every night vomiting my guts out, that I'm in so much pain that even my hair hurts.
I do all my daily crying alone and muster up enough energy to smile when I'm around people because I hate for others to feel bad but also because I don't want to look weak and be pitied. If I don't smile, I cry, if I don't cry, I get angry and if I don't get angry, I go back to crying. It's a cycle I struggle with everyday so I choose to smile out of necessity, not because I'm some type of a masochist who enjoys suffering and pain. I wish I had a better support network. Just remember that the biggest smiles hide the deepest pain. If you're going through this, trust yourself, be proud of your own strength but most importantly love yourself. You can only rely on yourself and you're the only one who's guaranteed to be there for you until the end so practice self-compassion and don't expect anything from anyone in your life. Be your own hero and saviour. I send you all my love!
I'm so sorry to hear this . Thanks for sharing . Brave brave soul you are x❤

You are so inspirational and your doctors are incredible healthcare providers.
How did they finally find it then??? So you had stage 4 cancer and it didn't even show up on a CT scan or even from the endoscopy or biopsy??? This is scary.😢 I'm glad you're ok now, thank God. ❤

Wow, i too, was gaslighted! I had 2 mammograms in 2022 & both times i was told it was nothing. Clear, all good, even though i said something isn't right initially, felt tissue changing, then a definite lump in R breast.
My primary physicians order for ultrasound was not taken/denied because Radiologist "felt i didn't need it." That Radiologist never came to talk to me. I still cannot believe that happened!!! By the time i got to different faciliry it was Stage 3 - 4 😢
I am lucky to be alive.
I am so glad you will be ok!❤
An inspiring account
I came across by accident on UA-cam. Bless you,strong lady!
Praying for you.
I especially love what you said about people not understanding how life-changing it is to have a cancer. There’s no guarantee, with most cancers, that it’s gone, even after treatment. Mine was breast cancer. I wish you continued good health, Miss Viola.

You are amazing. I'm sure when people tell you you'll be fine they are telling you what they want to believe (and are scared of the alternative). They mean well but you need to trust your own judgement. Ultimately, it's you alone that has to go through it. Great video.

Stomach cancer is usually diagnosed at a later stage. My mom had stomach cancer, and it was diagnosed earlier due to Alzheimer's Disease. She was 71 when she was diagnosed with stomach cancer AND Alzheimer's Disease. She had a partial gastrectomy for the stomach cancer. She died at age 87.
What a determined soul you are Viola, wishing you the best health and a long happy life.
My uncle died in 2014 of stomach cancer. My aunt just this March had been feeling unwell for the entire year before. They chalked it up to indigestion, gave her omeprazole and told her to take it until she started to feel better despite her brother dying from cancer. Until one day she started vomiting after eating and horrible back pain. To soon not being able to eat because she was so constipated. Still, they refused to give her any tests. One day in March it was so bad they decided finally to give her a CT, where they found a huge tumor in her stomach, enlarged lymph nodes throughout her body, and tumors in her breasts. They did biopsies and she was diagnosed staged 4. She lived until June. It took her so fast. During her stay at the hospital she underwent genetic testing and she was positive for the CDH1 gene mutation. She is the youngest of 10 children one who is my dad. So far 3 siblings have tested positive, one uncle who they discovered has the start of stomach cancer this past week. My dad is awaiting his results, and I’m in limbo awaiting my genetic results and colonoscopy due to the stomach issues I’ve been having. Praying I don’t test positive, my sister doesn’t, my cousins don’t, my children don’t, and that the disease ends with my uncle. I’m 27 and have 2 kids and a loving husband. I’d love more than anything to watch my kids get married and grow old with my husband.
Thank you for sharing your story, you are so brave and so beautiful, God Bless You and Your Family! ❤
Great story!!!! So happy you are well.
Amazing story. Yes follow your heart, it's your life and look at you now!
I really admire and honour you!
You are a brave woman worthy of following! Let’s Almighty God bless you!
My daughter had cancer at the age of 17. She had a blood cancer with no symptoms aside from a couple swollen lymph nodes and a bump on her head. One thing I learned is that every cancer journey is unique and everyone reacts to it differently. My daughter is still in remission after 1 year in hospital and two more years of outpatient chemo over q5 years ago. It was an excruciating experience that I do not wish on anyone. I am glad that you are doing well and I hope your remission continues well into old age.

Inspiring beautiful lady. I’m so glad you boldly forged ahead with what your body required. ❤🙏
Good luck to you. Stay strong.💪
Fantastic Viola. I'm on this battle now. Thank you for encouragment. I'm Polish living in the UK.
Wszystko będzie dobrze ❤️

You are one impressive woman! You will know you did your best, faced many difficult things head-on, and fought very hard. No wonder your cancer has been scared off ! Best of luck...
You are a fighter , well done. Live long and full life . Just all the best .
Thanks for sharing your “war”! What a warrior!!💪🏆🥂
My brother-in-law recently had his stomach removed and his abdomen filled with chemo fluid the same way. He was nearly catatonic for weeks, though he has recovered now. Incredibly traumatic, I’m so sorry you had to do this.
Omg Viola, I have had many endoscopies, gastroscopies and colonoscopies, biopsies, CT, radiation CT scans and MRIs and bloods. They refer me to someone else who gets all the above tests done again and told me that there’s bad ulcerated areas but they don’t think it’s any cancer but they don’t know so I’m still feeling extremely weak and sick and they have ordered another set of colonoscopy, gastroscopy, biopsies and scans!! I’m fed up now! 😞
I understand you are fed up! If felt the same way but endured because my husband kept pushing me. They eventually found a 1 cm tumor in my small intestine (had ulcers in the stomach before) after testing me for quite some time. My first PET scan in April 2021 did not show anything and suddenly it lit up in my PET scan in January 2023. But the fight goes on as they don’t want to take it out because it is too small and too deep in my small intestine. We cannot give up ! We must push on and test … (got my annual CT scan in august 😅). Like the lady in the video; even if you got your diagnosis: you still need to fight
So sorry. Start with carnivor diet only that will help you tremendously 😊
So did you do the endoscopy and other test again ?
Very smart woman . Keep on fighting beautiful lady !❤
Pani jest bardzo , bardzo dzielna.
Dzieki temu ,ze sie Pani nie poddawała systemowi Pani żyje.
Po Australii spodziewalabym się lepiej wyedukowanych lekarzy.
Bardziej oddanych pacjenowi, ale lekarzami są ludzie z różnymi standartami moralnymi i bardzo zróżnicowanej mentalnosci i kulturze.Wielu zostalo pewnie lekarzami bo posiadali dobra pamięć i chcieli dobrze zarabiać. Życzę Pani Wszystkiego Najlepszego, bo Pani na to zasługuje.
What an amazing woman she is! It's true, only those who have cancer can truly understand. God bless, Viola, I hope you are staying strong and well x
Viola is incredible.

God bless you … so happy you are doing better ❤❤
