I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma when I was 15. My mom made me go to the dr after having shortness of breath. She got me out of school early (my first day of high school) & the dr found a large tumor on my lungs. It was so big it had collapsed a lung! After chemo, radiation & lots of prayers I’m cancer free & 52!
Wow that was 37 years ago?
Yes! I’ve been very blessed!
Did they find it on an X-ray?
Yes
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
The problem these days is even doctors are not taking symptoms seriously and when you complain they gaslight you and ignore you when you know something is wrong they treat you like it's in your head. I had my lymph nodes swell up really bad after covid. The doctors didn't believe I had covid because they relied too heavily on the PCR tests even though I know I had false positives and they diagnosed me with pnamonia the end of May, and my antibodies came back positive for covid. 🤦♀️
Covid is not lymphoma. Did you have lymphoma?
Me too! After cvd the lymph nodes enlarged.
For real. I went in with sudden widespread pain and was told “carpel tunnel”. Next visit they said “stress/anxiety”. Next visit they said “stress” Next visit they said “don’t see anything” finally someone referred an MRI but by the time I was diagnosed with MS, I had irreversible nerve damage. For over a year I was taking meds for an anxiety disorder that didn’t exist.
This. Like they only diagnose you when your symptoms are severe already. There's is trust issues with doctors.
@@justincreek7614 yes i can understand that. They drug tested me and asked me if I needed a mental health evaluation when they couldn't figure out what the problem was and I felt like I was dying. I was only 37 and having stroke and heart attack symptoms. I suspect I had a missed stroke and at one point I had clots. Cleared up some after I started taking baby aspirin but yeah. Healthcare has really gone down hill. Back in the early 2000 and late 90's doctors listened to their patients and didn't gaslight them, blaming everything on mental health or anxiety.
I've been battling Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma for 16 years. I'm blessed of God to be here every day.
Keep going babes
Much blessings to you and your strength.
Keep going!!! Proud of you! 😊
God bless you Patricia🙏❤️
Ameen God Bless
It's not just patients ignoring symptoms. It is also doctors not believing or listening to them. My friend had a lump on his neck. He approached his doctor. His doctor told him he would keep an eye on it. 5 years later Dennis asks the doctor about it again. Well, it was adenoid sarcoma. Good news is it's a slow growing cancer. Bad news is the 5 years headstart it was given was enough to kill my friend. Dennis was poor and not taken seriously and now he's dead.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hate that some doctors can be so dismissive. The hunt for quality healthcare providers is so tedious. He’d be here if his doctor took his concerns seriously.
"keep an eye on it" means come back for a checkup every 6 mo this, not wait 5 years Jesus Christ. Doctors aren't Gods.
@@destructorzz7197 Dennis was the kind of person that the doctor really needed to tell him that and/make him an appt for 6 months. He trusted his doctor.
Prayers offered
@@SuperPinklady08 Dennis was a good egg and his family are special. Sadly his wife died within 2 years under very similar circumstances and she was not taken seriously either.
I had it at age 25, I was brushed off for 9 months with symptoms like fatigue, itching , lower back ache, shortness of breath. I was told I'm perfectly healthy and to take some vitamins. By the end of the 9 months my lymph nodes got swollen around my neck and the doctor was trying to tell me it's normal until I lashed out saying IM.NOT NORMAL AND I WANT A C T SCAN !!! Then it was Ops your stage 4 B and we need to move fast ..... lost my trust in the medical system.and i only trust my intuition since then.
Same sentiment. New mole appear on my face and my dermatologist told me it is not cancer although hesitant I choose to believe her I've notice it's getting bigger. Ive asked my doctor to remove it and for biopsy. It turned out non melanoma skin cancer.
I am a,doctor m,self and do not trust my colleagues, with a handfull of exceptions. I have an admittedly rare Autoimmune disease, called Generalized Giant Cell Vasculitis and it took them 8 years to make the right diagnosis. My arteries where inflamed from my feet to my carotides and I needed twice w Inits of blood for severe anemia and thrn still sent me to the psychiatrist to ask ehether it was self inflicted. I was 59 at that time. I was treated for years for chronic pain syndrome snd depression, because of my heavy fatigue. My grandpardnts are 1st degree cousins and m, ehole family has rheumatoid kind of different autoimmune diseases. I also had a sicca syndrome and told them, went to three rheuamtologists, who told me naw the RF is negativ, desöite an ESR over 100. Finally at my third admission a yokng soctot put me through a Cat scan and then they saw all my arteries lighted up like a chriymas tree. Since then I have gained 30 kg because of the Crtisone and the extremely expensive Antibody medicine (Toxicilumab) does nothing for me. I lost my home ,my clinic and went bakrupt in the 8 years until diagnosus. As far as treatment is concerned after 2 years of aggressive Steroid and Antibody, therapy with almost no improvement at the contrary I decided to try Traditional Chinese Medicine.
@@christianefiorito3204 I was a high risk cardiology RN for 20 years and I hope I can use Chinese medicine only from here. I'm 56 and dealing with bad lymphedema to the lower extremities.
@@christianefiorito3204 I'm so sorry you went through all that
Ditto- except I was 22 and stage 2B. I kept going back to my doctor because the swollen lymph node that was “probably just a cold” wasn’t going away and becoming more dense. Finally was tested and found out a I had a ton of cancerous lymphnodes- neck, lung, down the esophagus and several on the larger side of normal in my abdomen that were about to turn cancerous and make me officially stage 3. I learned very young to be your own advocate- congratulations on beating your cancer! Wishing you all the best!
My 28 year old daughter passed away from this disease in 2009 and what you explained in this video was exactly what happened to her. The Lymphoma attacked her heart. She was air lifted to Massachusetts General in Boston & 9 months later passed away in hospital. She was pregnant and delivered my grandson before being air lifted to MGH. Her OBGYN kept blaming all her symptoms on her being pregnant. Her case is in the New England Journal of Medicine. I hope this video helps many people who experience these symptoms and family advocate for them before it's too late. I'm glad this gentlemen knows how lucky he is. God bless ❤
Sorry about your loss.❤❤❤
Sending love and light and prayers
Oh God that is so sad. I'm so sorry. Sadly health care providers don't listen to women and really don't listen to pregnant women.
God bless
Sending you prayers I'm so sorry ❤🙏
Husband had this and it progressed to stage 4 after doctors kept treating him for congestion and upper respiratory infections. Thank God for the doctor who caught it immediately. He had Non-Hodgkin lymphoma diffuse large B cell. He’s in full remission at 5 years now.
Exactly what I had, large B cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma…. Mine created a mass in my sinus which ate nerves, so my main symptoms were numbness in my face coupled with major toothache…was told I had cancer on the Friday and was having chemo the very next day…I was stage 4….been in remission 4 years, I was 40
M'y husband had thé same but hé passed away. After 14 months struggling .Hé was 46 years old
@@rinaguilbert7707 I had rchop…. And from the uk, where are you from?
What made that particular doctor consider the c word even after other health care professionals focused on his respiratory situation ? (I’m glad for the both of you that he’s in remission now.) I’m asking b/c my fatigue is ruinous and has been for a long time, and I objectively “look unwell” according to family & friends (unintentional weight loss and discoloration around the outside of my eyes), but most medical professionals I’ve encountered in the last 7 years they seem annoyed that I keep complaining (about health).
@@rinaguilbert7707 I’m sorry for this loss ❤🙏
I was diagnosed with this particular disease 30 years ago. Went through the hell of chymo for six months, and one month of radiation therapy. I can still hear my doctor telling me that when all that will be over, I will remember it as a bad dream. I didn't believe him at the time. I had believed that life would end there, and that my children would have to grow up without me. Turns out my doctor was right. I'm still here. I was able to watch my children grow up, and is now blessed with grandchildren.
Whoever may be going through this, I tell you this: don't get discouraged. It's a type of cancer that is curable. Follow your doctor's orders, take good care of you. Don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, try to exercise, and most of all get rid of whatever stresses you out. All will go well and one day you will remember it all as a bad dream. I promise.
Thank you so much it motivates me, now i am going through 3rd chemo nonhodgin lymphoma rchop regiment i believe Allah will help me i am 25 i terminated my pregnancy cause i got cancer, i believe i will be healthy again soon have children,no stress anymore, i think stress is the primary cause of this cancer
@@user-if7ek3wc5y I am glad my words have helped. Faith is a strong weapon also and from what i gather, you have it. Never give up the fight and in the end you will be the winner, I'm sure of it.
God is great and he will carry you safely until it's all over.
You will have babies, grandchildren and a long full life. Wishing you the best.
I needed this . Thank you
How r u
@@user-if7ek3wc5y how are you now
I was diagnosed with hodgkin lymphoma at the age of 21 after 1 years and 2months with miss diagnosis. I had excess sweating, lumps on my neck and every now and them my right arm paralysed for lack of blood flowing. 6 months of chemio and 1 month of radio was the treatment. After 1 month and a half, the cancer was gone, not even the doctor believed that happened. Now I am 29. Be positive and nothing will let you down!
i dont think i can survive chemo. Just wouldnt be able to endure the side effects and will probably quit.
Is it possible to beat it without chemo ?
@@exodus1536Confession the word of God daily🙏
@@exodus1536 I do not knows, but cordyceps helps.
OMG, Is there really a connection between lack od blood flowing in arm and lymphoma ??? I bluess you.
Symptoms:
1. Fatigue
2. Fever
3. Heavy night Sweats
4. Swollen lymph nodes in neck, armpits, groin
5. Unintended weight loss
6. Itchy skin
7. Chest pain, coughs, short of breath
Meh, 4 out of 7 ain’t bad
Thank you for posting
I have six out of seven. I'm struggling to breathe right now. I'm scared.
@@terenarosa4790 i get like this from Siking myself out, hard to breathe perhaps from Anxiety?
Go to Dr asap
My neighbor was treated for pneumonia a few times in the emergency room. Finally, on one of her visits she actually saw a doctor that told her it wasn’t pneumonia but it was lung cancer. She went for months being treated for the wrong thing. It ended up getting to her brain. She died a miserable death.
So sorry to hear that ....
Very sad
Tragic 😢
I had Hodgkin’s lymphoma . I beat it. U will too. I love u.
How you beat it?
My Dr's looked at me and pretty much laughed and said "lose weight,you'll be alright".. 4mths later I was pregnant and about dead. Thank God the knot came up on my neck and finally people believed me.but the sweating is something you know ain't right,you can ring your shirt out it so much! But I thought I just had the flu..my legs hurt bad!! I had stage 3 and was pregnant at 25yrs old. Thank you Jesus me& baby beat cancer
Thank God all is well with you and your family ❤
Where was the knot in your neck?
Amen ❤️
Biggest problem? During most visits, some doctor's dont take our symptom's serious enough until it's too late.
I was 18 when i was diagnosed with hodkins lymphoma stage 4B, symtpomns was ignored, told i was asmathic, prone to cehst infections, weight loss was due to growth spurt. Eventually one doctor put together the pieces and i was diagnosed. 7 years in remission now thankfully
God bless...
What about your hormone levels after treatment? As a male, I want to know about the effect of treatment over reproductive organs and system
God bless
My husband had NHL in his 50's. The doctor told him he had allergies and to pull up the carpet and put the cat outdoors. He did that but symptoms got worse. She then gave him an allergy med. with no change.
I started researching cancer symptoms and made him go back to her and demand to be tested for cancer. His doctor would not look or acknowledge me at his future appointments. He was a vet and I think she didn't care if he died. Thank goodness for UA-cam doctors like you that give out accurate information.
Thank you!
That's a terrible attitude for a doctor to have, sorry you had to deal with that
Was it a veterans hospital?
Why would she not care about him because he’s a vet? I’m curious to know why you thought that?
Unless it’s a veteran’s hospital why in the world would he continue going to a physician who doesn’t care if he dies? Even if it’s a veteran’s hospital if she was that bad I would still do everything I could to make sure he’s in the care of a physician who cares if he’s dead or alive and more efficient as a physician. Just doesn’t make sense.
@@tammyslaughter9587 you clearly have no knowledge of how the VA works!! Try to educate yourself a bit before popping off. Many, many veterans cannot afford yo go anywhere else for Healthcare or meds, often due to being on non-VA disability that barely covers living expenses.
Im 29 years out from my Stage 4 B diagnosis and remission. I ignored my symptoms for possibly 2 years. Towards the beginning of the end I had itching, night sweats, pain from drinking alcohol all over my body...my Dr called that firepox, and finally I lost 50 lbs in 4 months...silly me thought this was all stress at 23 years old. 10 months of MOPPABV and 5 weeks of RT, lung surgery and other issues here I am...now dealing with long term side effects but still relatively healthy
Did it start with itching then night sweats then pain?
Its doctors gaslighting patients. And then you have to go to 20 until you find one that will take you seriously . It’s exhausting.
I discovered some swollen lymphs at the end of last year. I immediately went to the doctor and the doctor just touched my throat for a short time and said that she can’t detect anything. The bill came pretty fast but it was unsatisfying how she treated me. However, two weeks later I went to a different doctor and she felt my lymph nodes, did ultrasound and made blood tests which was all ok. I had a control meeting two months later and still nothing. But I really hate how some doctors don’t take you seriously when you have problems. That’s a big problem.
To end this story, I had another ultrasound of my lymph nodes earlier this month and it’s still good.
But what I have learned is that sometimes you have to go to another doctor to get a second opinion or even a third. Don’t be satisfied when you realize that the doctor did not take you serious.
Today in America doctors don’t touch you at all. It’s all blood work, machines for blood pressure, oxy and weight. Lots of pointless talk. The regular exams were always about checking limps nodes because it’s hard to know what’s normal and what’s not, especially since some lumpy nodes are there always. What’s wrong with American doctors???
@@SculptExpress-gv8jp German doctors seem to be the same because I‘m from Germany. I found a decent doctor in a bigger city like an hour away from me with the car. It’s really annoying when doctors don’t take you serious. They think just because I‘m young I can’t get serious diseases. Someone who was living in my street passed away from cancer and was my age. Doctors should know that something bad can happen to everyone. When I wanted my doctor to test my blood all the nurse there has said was that I‘m pretty young and there is no reason for my blood to be tested. Just wow.
@SculptExpress-gv8jp my Americans doctor touches me.
I’m going through now. Two days they drain 1.5 liters out of my back. This week I expect to get a pet scan and the biopsy. I keep telling myself to stay positive and don’t give up. It just seems crappy since I retired four months ago. Luckily for me both of my sons are MDs and my doctors are proactive so I am surrounded by good people I just need to do my part and fight like hell.
Meditation is the key with medical treatment..the body is a self healing machine but it needs to be in the right space... every day in every way ..I'm getting better and better...say it 20 times ,too yourself,on a daily basis..what the mind perceives ,you will become...
Drain what?
May God keep away this type of Sickness and keep us Safe ❤️
Last year on April 21st was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My personal Dr was didn’t recognize the symptoms. He would tell me that it was just a flu. I was having the same symptoms, he would recommended me to take ibuprofen or Tylenol, to point where I become allergic to ibuprofen, rashes would show pop up, and swollen lips, and swollen eye lids. I had fever and horrible chills., the sweats were intense as well. Dr would send me to get tested for HIV and other test, but everything came up negative. Finally I decided to change Dr. The new Dr send me for complete test which included, X-rays, ultrasound, and pet scan . Thanks to all these new test Dr was able to find out wha was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with stage 4b lymphoma. Now I’m done with chemotherapy, and feeling like a new.
I wish you all the best
I will pray for you in Jesus mighty name.
I'm very happy you are clear now! I suggest you improve on diet exercise if you haven't done so already.
What is your Doctor name
My Son was misdiagnosed with non Hodgkin's Lymphoma when he actually had Histoplasmosis. They mimic each other. They found no cancer in his autopsy only Histoplasmosis. If giving antifungal treatment instead of chemotherapy at the time of diagnosis, he could have survived! Doctors need to be trained better to rule out Histoplasmosis before blasting with chemotherapy...😢
I am sorry to hear this...but if they are diagnosing as cancer, they should have histopathology evidence by biopsing the lymph node...did they do it?
Oh my gosh. I cannot even imagine. I am so sorry💔
People would be shocked at how often those kinds of treatments cause other severe issues and/or don't work at all. It's a real moneymaker for the medical system though. They don't even train most docs in nutrition which should be basic stuff. What they have done is manipulate survival rate stats. When too few numbers survive they simply change what is considered good stats to have. We will see more of that as pollutants cause even more cancer. Some things cannot and are not filtered from our drinking water. Trump made it so even coal wastes can be dumped into the US water supply again. He struck down a law that kept us safer.
I'm sorry you lost your son this way. My heart goes out to you.
Devastating. I'm so very sorry 💔
Dismissiveness from physicians over non-specific symptoms is rampant and accounts for a substantial amount of people finding out what they need to know way too late.
I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2014 I had very similar symptoms. I also explained away the fatigue, night sweats and the deep pain in my bones. When I started getting large, painful bruises from doing something as simple as crossing my legs. That's when I scheduled an appointment with my GP & 2 days before that appointment I woke up with a blurry spot in my right eye, which ended up being a retinal hemorrhage. My GP took some blood for tests and set me up with an immediate appointment with a retinal specialist. I got a call a few hours later that woke me from a dead sleep. It was my GP saying I needed to get to the hospital right away because my white blood cell count as 450k! So take it from me: don't always explain away symptoms like the ones in this video. If it's a change from how you normally feel, go see a doctor.
I'm so glad you are okay now.
My friend who is a young guy in his mid-30s kept telling me he felt like his bones were hurting and he was seriously exhausted…eventually got diagnosed w leukemia and started on radiation therapy. Luckily it seems to have worked, it’s been over a year now.
Thankyou good luck to u I will get on to my dr mind u I've changed twice have to change again they don't care nowadays
@@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372 I'm so glad ilhecs doing so well! Those were the exact symptoms I had, but I explained away the bone pain as me just standing and walking too much at my job in a jewelry store because the pain was located in my thighs down to the bones in my feet. I also explained the night sweats away as me being very unlucky and somehow being perimenopausal at the young age of 33. Deep down I knew it was abnormal, but I didn't want to face it. Thankfully other symptoms like simply crossing my legs causing massive bruises finallyade me go to my GP. And 2 days before the scheduled appointment a retinal hemorrhage happened because my blood was so thick with white blood cells. Itcs been almost a decade for me and while I enjoyed a few years off my cml med late last year I had to go on it again because my BCR-ABL test, the test that shows if my blood has any cancer cells in it, started being positive again, but I was able to go on a lower dose than before.
Blur in middle of both eyes? Excrutiating pain? Called nurse asking for more pain meds n explained blur in middle of eye sight? Asked if I went blind in 1 eye, I cld kill the nurse... if blind in both eyes? Kill the doc *and the nurse?
Cluster head ache syndrome, dbl hemorrhages both eyes? *suicidal pain worse than childbirth?
Their answer?
I was arrested n jailed w no bond... for weeks while they got restraining order against me :(
They also publically gossiped about me to the sm community and got all the doctors within 300 mile diameter, to refuse me treatment.
Some health care workers are beyond cruel.... justifying their ignorance and cruelty is beyond normal - into criminal.
I had *myself, exited my guns as the excrutiating driving pain got worse... after our local mormon sheriffs stole 1 gun out of my truck when I went to the library one day...
6 months prior to that incident, *I being super responsible? Exited my guns myself.
TO KEEP ME AND MY COMMUNITY SAFE.
Understand in last 10 years? 2/10 LEO murdered here, at 1 restaurant tip was left n waitress turned n bought cocaine from cook. Feds outside witnesses n had sheriff arrest them.
~ a year later? *EVERYONE in coffee shop was again arrested for casually -*remember they *knew feds were listening in...
As they all, owner, wait staff, ranchers farmers, cooks etc...? *All discussed how to murder me? All arrested for conspiracy to commit 1st degree murder. Sheriff called in n he promised if they'd cool off? He'd go after me to drive me out of the community.
2 other older single women were burned to death in their homes here. And I? At great risk of serious death? Chose to exit my guns as my rather mysterious n severe medical condition worsened. To keep everyone safe? And I was arrested and refused medical care.
Arrogant Doctors? Narcissist staff? Deserve every hurtful lawsuit that comes at them. F* them.
Problem is that majority of the signs and symptoms for some serious diseases are often misinterpreted by physicians or ignored by the patients. I live in NYC, working as a nurse and i cannot tell you how many times you hear: I’m so so tired! Stress in big urban areas is like air, we are all under a lot of pressure from bills, school, personal life etc; so is very easy to assume that the reason behind so many symptoms including weigh loss is stress. Unfortunately we will see more and more of this late detection patients, specially in big cities
You are exactly right!! I mean who doesn’t have or deal with fatigue? We’re so used to just pushing our bodies constantly almost to the brink. I will say the fatigue I developed with stage 4 colorectal cancer, and then 8 years later with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was debilitating and life changing in a fairly short amount of time. But I still thought it’s was from stress and work related fatigue. I would like to tell you I appreciate you and your profession, nurses are some of the best people in the world. I have worked with many as an emergency medic, and been in their care off and on for years as a cancer patient. Please take care of yourself, you are so valuable to this world.
What could be it, a tumour on the abdomen which spread pain in the upper arm like the bone is broken and the spleen also enlarged? The doctor didn't say anything to my cousin what is it, but doctor required surgery. My cousin suffered from gastrointestinal problem for over 25 years ago.
add to your list the blue light and disturbed melatonin metabolism. That also applies to the mobile devices we are hooked on 24/7.
Knowing that medical bills can land you in bankruptcy is a deterrent to getting symptoms checked out too.
I live in rural Indiana and stress and exhaustion are universal.
Had HL in 2015. No symptoms except swollen lymph nodes and was misdiagnosed with tuberculosis for a year. Then started back pain after a few months of being on TB meds. Meanwhile also got a lymph node biopsy, the report was negative for lymphoma and since I didn’t have any other typical symptoms such as weight loss or night sweats, fever, itchy skin, they didn’t send the sample for further testing. No doctor (almost ten different docs in different hospitals) took the really awful back pain I had seriously or correlated it to my swollen lymph nodes. Blamed it on posture, mental health etc. Finally after a year of TB meds and back pain, a doctor sent me for MRI of spine which showed tumors all over. Then after a spine biopsy, they diagnosed it as HL and treatment started in 2016.
Thank you for this. There's no 'fluff' in your videos. They're so good to watch. I've taken much from them. Especially the ones on fat and diabetes and associated aspects, but all that I view really. You're a good man!
I have hodgkins lymphoma for 7 years. Had. A stem cell. Transplant. Have all symtoms that u described just. Surviving. Eat healthy. And keep busy. When the exhaustion. Total tireness. Set in. Pray every day
As a 3x HL and BMT survivor, this is excellent information, well done Doc 👏🏻
A friend of mine died of this when she was only 18. Still think about her every day❤
So sorry about your loss ❤
😮❤💕🌺
Omg! You are spot on anout those symptoms! I had all of those symptoms when I was diagnosed with colon cancer years ago. 😮! I had a strong itchy rash on my belly, the fatigue was horrible, the fevers ,weight loss and fevers.
What are your other symptoms?
I had non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Luckily Stanford Hospital diagnosed it correctly because where I went to the ER when I passed out, they diagnosed it as Hodgkins disease. My symptoms were numerous but I didn't put them together or suspect I had cancer. Mine were: 1) constantly getting whatever cold or flu virus came along for a year or more, when normally, I would bypass most; 2) redness in the eyes; 3) rash around my waist line; 4) achy joints that made me feel like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, especially apparent if I sat for any length of time.
Weight loss or something also noticed???
A former neighbour, who was a smoker, died of Hodgins Lymphoma aged 54 around five years ago. This was 10 years after his diagnosis which showed an inoperable mass on his chest that radiotherapy and chemotherapy managed to stall, but not eradicate. His mother told me he never had any of the usual childhood illnesses and rarely took ill with even the mildest of colds prior to this.
In contrast, a friend's daughter who was a professional dancer in her early 20s was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2012 and only saved by cutting-edge stem cell therapy after all other treatments had failed. She didn't smoke or drink and led a very healthy lifestyle with no family history of any related disease. The last I heard, she was still well, all thanks to the amazing medical team who saved her.
Many times there’s no rhyme or reason why some people get lymphoma or leukemia, and why some survive, and others don’t. Actually that can be the case for many cancers.
It’s interesting that your 54 year old or even 44 year old at diagnosis former neighbor developed Hodgkin’s instead of non-Hodgkin’s because Hodgkin’s is usually diagnosed in younger adults. It’s inspiring to hear your friend’s daughter is doing well, and now they’ve made even further advances in blood cancer treatments since 2012.
Where did she got treatment.pls help
@@NarutowhatappGamer2.0 It was the Cancer Centre at Western General Hospital, Edinburgh back in 2012, who I cannot praise enough having seen them in action when caring for a loved one. The hospital has a cutting-edge cancer research unit who may well have been involved but I regret that is the extent of my knowledge. You can find links to Western General Hospital Cancer Centre via a search engine as the automatic moderator won't let me include it for you.
Thank you Dr Hansen for this topic! Very useful information! 🙏
This is what happened with me. Fatigue and lost 12kgs. At first, doctor couldn’t find out what happen. But after several test, we manage to find out the culprit. Still on the process of recovering now
Did you have any other symptoms.i am on the same boat.please tell me
How much of your body mass is that
I have 4-5 things that could potentially kill me, and I've been to several docs. Every single one refused to do anything. Been 7 years or more since I got spinal X-rays, despite having spinal arthritis, scoliosis, degenerative disk disease, progressive loss of feeling in my feet/lower legs and lowered fine motor skills. But the hell ever. Sometimes it's not the patient not seeing the signs, sometimes it's the docs just deciding you're not worth saving.
I’ve had two friends in their twenties get lymphoma. One had stage 4. Both survived after treatment. Scary that they got such a dreadful disease so young. The one with stage 4 took the doctors forever to diagnose.
I am glad to hear your friends are doing well. I recently had a friend diagnosed at 28 with stage 4. He had no clue until he started feeling sick quickly. He has started treatments. I pray he heals and has a long future ❤️
Were they vaxed for C0vid?
Take good care Dr. Mike. 🙏🏼☺️
My grandfather has this. When he went to the hospital because he wanted to know why he had been feeling sick for so long and they were amazed that he was still alive!
Dr Mike this is an excellent video Thankyou 🙏 , my own daughter age 42 had this December 2022, out of the blue . I had no idea of the symptoms she was sweating at night , no lumps ,weight loss itching etc. and luckily he dr did tests and Hodgkin’s lymphoma was found early. She had 3 months of chemotherapy , no radiation. And atm she is free from it , although the chemo was harsh , 6 hours at a time ,every two weeks . For three months . I am hoping it never comes back, she has epilepsy as well, no fits , just funny spells. She had enlarged lymph nodes in her chest close to her heart , which was frightening. I just pray all will be ok for a long time to come. I hope people see this video and if they have such symptoms go and get it checked ….. it will save their lives . THANKS SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS PROPERLY.
While practicing in a student health service, I missed one case of lymphoma and diagnosed another that had been missed. In both cases, young adults with "swollen glands" and "bronchitis" were told to come back if not better. The most dramatic was the one I missed who presented with superior vena cava syndrome. Of course it was Saturday AM of a 3 day weekend. We had him getting radiation therapy before we had a tissue diagnosis. The one I caught had been diagnosed twice with "mono" over a 6 month period. He had a classic "woody" node in the neck. Both young men ultimately did very well. The axiom that "common things are common" can obscure the rare.
Addendum to my above comment. I also watched my husband (74) having a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that took 18 months, many medications (anti-fungal, topical and parenteral steroids, monoclonal antibodies)several specialists and 2 biopsies to diagnose. This is a very different disease and he is doing well with UV treatments. Ironically he has had several basal cell cancers, has been avoiding the sun and religiously using sunscreen for years and now he is getting what he has tried to avoid for years. I initially thought he had tinea (fungal infection), then possibly an allergy. It helped that his dermatologist is a friend, and his wife is a doctor. His main symptom was itching which was intense, kept him from sleeping and made him extremely irritable. The biggest annoyance was that none of his doctors was willing to just give him sleeping meds while they worked it out.
Hi! Please I need your help. The ultrasound detected a huge tumour in the abdomen of my cousin who suffered from gastrointestinal problem for over 25years now. The pain have extended to the upper arm. The doctor only required for surgery instead saying what is it. Thanks so kindly for your gesture. Remain blessed!
The thing is the rare things aren't always rare just misdiagnosed. It's AMAZING to hear a medical professional actually admit to a mistake. Yet if you had more time with this patient, less patients, and resources would it be missed?? The "God" complex comes out in about 50% of doctors intentionally and unintentionally who save lives and help people on a regular basis. A doctor told me that. That's why I walked out the hospital with a giant cancerous brain tumor. But thanks for the share♡
Thank you for your honesty.
I often think that people have an unrealistic view of medical professionals, believing that they should never, ever make a single mistake.
I really dislike that attitude, as you are simply human, like the rest of us.
I'm glad that both patients recovered.
I thought I had a hernia when I went to the doctor to have it checked out. My doc immediately ordered a sonogram of the area, and luckily - the radiologist reading my report told my doc the seriousness of my report. Luckily, it was NHL and I began chemo very quickly. I am so grateful to, and amazed by, the cancer care-givers - the doctors, nurses, aides, lab techs, and yes - the administrators who deal with the dreaded insurance. I was inspired when I was listening to the story of one the Olympic winter atheletes -- a very young man, yet he had Hodgkins lymphoma - which is treated differently than NHL. There he was at the top of his athletic game, but had to undergo many more months of chemo than is "normal." He worked his wasy back from the ordeal and was there at the Olympics.
So glad you are ok!! NHL is NOT like Hodgkins. I have a male friend who had it, and he Had stage four! I honestly believed he would be dead, until I read that the prognosis, even at stage four, is a 95% survival rate at five years and still over a 90% survival rate past 10 he got through it just fine. I’ve had blood changes recently and this is actually quite concerning
I recently have itching and a potential hernia near appendix. Where was your hernia?
Been feeling like I've had an issue near my left side for awhile, I have no appendix it's been out for years.
@@iLLmaticTrojan I THOUGHT I had a hernia - because of soreness and tenderness near my groin. Hope your"e ok.
@@laurasmith14 my doctor said there are hundreds of different kinds of categories within the Non Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosis! Yet, they are basically all treated with chemotherapy. I was taken and encouraged by a story of an Olympican who was diagnosed with the awful Hodgkins lymphoma. He was a young man at the top of his game when diagonsed with Hodgkins. He had double the number of chemo treatments normally prescribed, survived and did compete in the Olympics.
Thank you for sharing this important information-I Really appreciate it!Stay well always!!
The case you uad reminds me of my son, only it was Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He was 19, working full time. After a short period of his gums not healing from wosdom tooth removal, he walked into the ER one day and was in our Children's hospital PICU that night. Crazy how life can change so fast.
On another front, my sister-in-law died of Hodgkins in 1989.
My dad just died of AML after being diagnosed with MDS like a decade ago. He opted to do nothing about it, requiring countless blood transfusions, a spleen removal, and various other issues in his final days.
Sorry to hear about your son. You’re the only person I’ve seen who has mentioned AML
My lymphoma was in stage four when it was diagnosed . That was nine years ago so obviously I am still here. It was a very hard go and I do wish I had, had it checked out sooner.
Hello, hope you are fine, Lymphoma is difficult to cure like some other chronic diseases, Planet Ayurveda Provides the best herbal cure with natural herbal products
How was the treatment
@@FBI-cl2cp Terrible. I had just about every side effect one could expect. But I was in stage four when it was discovered and very weak before chemo started. Part way through they had to reduce the chemo doses. There being some fear that the chemo might kill me. I later learned that the chemo did serious damage to my heart, which was in unusually good condition before the chemo. But without it, I would be dead so won't complain about the heart damage.
It was a long recovery. I am and have been well for many years now, although I have a serious heart problem due to the chemo. I was 65 yrs at the time and that also played a role in how hard the chemo hit.
@@johnathonwright7920 glad you’re doing better friend
God Bless you ❤
Hello Dr Mike Hansen - a very good helpful presentation! Thank you. I have known people with this condition and I am sure, going forward, this information will be helpful to me and others I know.
I really appreciate these doctors on UA-cam. Easy access to good information
It started with a small patch of an extremely itchy rash on the top of my left breast and a lingering cough. By the time I was diagnosed the rash was systemic, quite literally everywhere, and was coughing like crazy, using a nebulizer as often as possible. I was the rash was most likely some kind of allergic reaction. It was so bad that I couldn’t sleep. I was also diagnosed with asthma at 29. Finally my PCP referred me to an allergist for texting. He took one look at me and said ‘I’ll do the testing if you’d like, but I think you need to have that visibly enlarged lymph node in your clavicle biopsied.’ I was shocked I hadn’t noticed it, though I had been having dreams about being attacked by vampires. Go figure.
So, they FINALLY DID A FREAKING CHEST X-RAY which showed 2 enlarged lymph nodes and a large bulky tumor sitting on my left lung. I didn’t have night sweats or fevers, no weight loss. I had B symptoms only. I knew something was very wrong. I was diagnosed with Stage IIb and had 6 rounds of ABVD in 2001. I recently went through it all again this summer when I had an MRI for new back pain in May. Turned out to be 2 lyric lesions. Multiple myeloma. Never ignore what your body is trying to tell you, and never stop advocating for yourself with your doctors.
Thank you, one more reason to stop procrastinating about the check up 🥰
So thankful my PA listens to me.
Great content as always. Thanks Doc. 🙏
Had same issue. Doctor said it was allergies after negative covid test. I kept telling him that cancer runs in my family and something feels wrong with my body. I told him i have drenching night sweats but he said maybe im sleeping with too many blankets. I had persistent dry cough, he said do you smoke ? I said my lymph nodes are swollen and they hurt. He said maybe you need another covid test. After test was negative, he said maybe your catching a cold. 3 years later I have a conjunctival tumor as big as my eye. Had to switch hospitals and get a better doctor. Finally going for biopsy in a couple days Had MRI and bloodwork that shows anemia. I'm ready to file a lawsuit for malpractice against the other hospital. They are actually known for being sued for it. Wish I knew before I started going there.
Hey just checking in, your story sounds similar to mine and I am waiting on a diagnosis. How is everything going?
My mother opted to treat an extremely rare case and aggressive molar pregnancy/tumor using a naturopath. The doctors kept pushing and pushing for a stupidly high dose of chemotherapy that would have likely killed her. She survived and is still alive 25 years later.
That's exactly how I plan to be treated, if need be.
Doctors get upset when we ignore symptoms, but when we come to them with concerns about our symptoms they ignore us and tell us we’re fine.
My sister have non Hodgkin lymphoma cancer, she didn't have and still have no symptoms, just a little bit of breathlessness while taking the stairs. She discovered it not because of symptoms but because she was a blood donor for a while and had her blood tested accurately multiple times. I want encourage people to be donors because as you can understand you are not doing it just for others but also for yourselves.
ya since getting a dr to use their diagnostic TOOLS is like pulling teeth with no novacaine
I’ll admit that sometimes I’ve put my head in the sand because I was tired of dealing with doctors and paying for tests that find nothing. You can’t just go straight to the test that would diagnose most cancers, because of insurance companies. Do doctors really wonder why patients give up?
We all have to advocate for "self", not learn Drs be " The All".
My dad was diagnosed stage 3 cancer of non Hodgkin's lymphoma on December 2007, it was quick and progressive becomes stage 4, in June 2008 he died. He was 63. Symptoms, we noticed that he was always laying on bed, sleeping, feeling fatigue, no appetite, sudden weight loss, there was a hard mass in his lower stomach.
Where was the hard mass? Was it visible or you had to feel for it?
I literally have most of these symptoms most definitely sweating through my clothes every single night I have wet stains on my shirts when I wake up for a year now I have serious pain in my left rib that started a week ago and it feels like something is pushing up through them I’m nervous now but I should get it checked for sure
One of my friend's had a rare form of non Hodgkins lymphoma ( can't remember the type ) with all the signs except for the itching. Problem is the symptoms were all quite vague and could be pretty much explained to other things, ie: sweats due to menopause etc. All of her siblings have had some form of cancer. A few of us, including my friend, questioned whether chemical exposure could be a cause, being that the parents were traditional Italians and were big into gardening. It was back in the day before it was known what certain chemicals did to you. Sadly she didn't make it. ❤
Sorry for the loss of your friend. True friends are all too rare.😢
@@1timbarrett Absolutely. ❤ The world was definitely a better place with her in it. ❤ Thankyou. ❤
I’m so sorry you lost your friend. 😔 You’re right the symptoms such as night sweats, fatigue, unexplained weight loss etc. can be so many different things and usually when the symptoms or what is known as B symptoms start the lymphoma is already active and many times advanced stage, and if an aggressive form immediate treatment is required to survive. Lymphoma is a complex and complicated cancer, fortunately it is very treatable. Sometimes not curable, but treatable.
when it’s cancer…. everyone always say it’s a “rare” type of cancer… lol
@@binladen2739 I’ve had to deal with cancer off and on for the last 8 years and been around a lot of people with cancer and hardly ever hear people refer to their cancer as rare unless it truly is a rare type. There are a few uncommon or rarer types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but unfortunately it’s not very rare for people to make ridiculous comments about things they know nothing about, your comment is a prime example.
I have a really great family doc. She doesn’t miss anything.
gods keep me aliving since my diagnosis. cause i tell yah some days i feel terribly sick for no reason
I turned yellow from lymphoma tumor that had crushed my bile duct bilirubin levels were high. Had all these symptoms also, but I have had itchy skin for years and I had severe pain in my leg for years and shoulder for several months where big tumors were. But last PET scan and Biopsy showed no cancer cells
Excellent new on that last biopsy. 💚
What kind of treatment did you do?
I am yellow my skin tone is pretty yellow-I been very concern I also have an autoimmune condition .I am glad that you are fine!Stay well
I'm glad you're ok now! I had lymphoma as well and I'm ok now! 😊
@@clarisacardenas9715 If it's jaundice from liver disease, I think the yellow of your eyes would turn yellow first. I've had my eyes turn slightly yellow before, but it's from a benign genetic condition called Gilbert's Syndrome that results in high bilirubin levels in the blood.
Important video, Dr. Hansen. Thank you. What treatment did Bob have?
Just a note for the person or persons that upload these Doctor Mike videos. I am having difficulty hearing what is said even with my hearing aids on the highest setting. If this could be remedied in the future, it would be much appreciated. Thank Heaven for CC.
Very interesting, clear explanation of the sickness. I just subscribed.
I had doctors say it was just my asthma. When I made a doctor refer me to a specialist if it was just my asthma he then said he needed to do an X-ray since I have been asthmatic my whole life. Turned out Al the upper respiratory infections and sinus infections were signs of Hodgkin lymphoma. One X-ray would have found it, instead it was almost at stage 4 before they found it. Then my oncologist did the same thing when I complained of chest pain breathing, finally he listened and it was 2 pulmonary embolisms. Doctors don’t listen if you have an easy answer. Don’t blame the patient.
A lot of those symptoms can easily be interpreted as anxiety. For an anxious person, believing their anxiety symptoms are something worse just makes the symptoms worse. And it doesn't help that most doctors refuse to actually see patients, preferring to just conduct a virtual visit, followed up by a prescription antianxiety pill. My last doctor visit a couple months ago was pointless because the doctor didn't even want me to remove my mask. The insanity continues.
These drs are so non caring anymore
Exactly what happened to me…so fkn pissed
After becoming a vegan and practices meditation I am able to control mine
I brought my partner to er... he was 20 to 30 minutes to dying. He had stage 4 lymphoma . It is a miracle he is still with us. He had a lot of the symptoms you described. His lymph nodes were enlarged. Our np sent him for an ultrasound instead of a biopsy ... don't neglect those symptoms. Ask for a second opinion.
Business partner?
Thank you Dr Hansen for this very important video! Very useful information! I'am in this situation now. Last week I do biopsy...now I waiting on result.I'am very sad.
Thanks doctor. This hit home, I'll have my doctor look at my concern.
Goodluck 👍👍
I've had both types. HL at 29 and NHL at 53. The second time I recognised the symptoms but it was still at stage 4.
A high school friend, when they were in their early 20’s, kept being dismissed by doctors for months until they were diagnosed with Hodgkin’s.
I very luckily had a HL scare about 8 yrs ago so when my husband had a lymph node get huge suddenly I made sure he got straight to the Dr. he is currently in remission but I found it amazing that the Dr constantly told me married men are more likely to survive. Due to Covid I wasn’t allowed in most of the appointments but I was there for all the appointments I could go to.
Muito bem explicado. Obrigado.
. 2 docs missed it completely. High inflammatory markers in my blood just dismissed as everything else looked good. Developed weird allergic rashes, allergist couldn't find anything. Third doc was a resident at a hospital. Said take a pic of the rash. I did...she said something big is going on, we need to find out what. Differential diagnosis included three other things much worse. Surgeon at biopsy told me I won the cancer lottery, was pretty sure lymphoma. Yep. Mesenteric nodes and retroperitoneal. Onco said only stage 2 NHL abdominal she'd seen. Aggressive chemo. Retired early due to side effects (I'm a dentist, numb fingertips). But 13 years later and still NED. Yay!
Some drs are better than others.
It took 7 months, several tumours growing on my head, a tremendous amount of pain, and many trips to “specialists” and emergency departments before I encountered a doctor who said, I don’t know what this is, let’s do a biopsy. I was diagnosed with large B cell lymphoma and finished treatment in January- one year to the day of discovering first lump. Still waiting for results. Apparently the end of April I’ll find out if treatment was effective.
This is Canada. Would I do treatment again? Hell no!
Good to be in an advanced country, than being in some parts of Africa.
@@kpanasmith6965
You’re absolutely right and I’m grateful to live in Canada but our healthcare is slipping due to greedy politicians and their cronies.
My family doctor missed blood tests that were indicative of some type of blood disorder. He thought I was bleeding from being on a blood thinner. My cardiologist asked if my doctor was following up on the anemia. She looked at the blood test results and said I was not bleeding. I told my family I DID NOT THINK IIWAS BLEEDING.

@@kpanasmith6965my daughter had cancer. Third world countries are more experienced than 1 st world countries. She had the best care and treatment and by the Grace of God she is cured. It has nothing to do with the country👼
❤Thank you doctor Mike!! An awesome educational video, very much appreciated, God bless you!!!!! ❤
Very informative. Thank you.
What a coincidence. Just met a pt with a very similar complaint this morning. That snapshot of classic Reed-Sternberg cell makes me laugh, Dr Mike. 😆 Thanks Dr. Hansen!
I just found out 2 months ago. Felt the symptoms for maybe 1 month and a half and was arrogant on going to the hospital at first thinking I had a respiratory infection. God bless the old lady at the City MD who forced me to go to the hospital. But everything is a blessing and things happen for reasons beyond our wisdom.
You will make it! be positive and dont miss any visits if you can!
Prayers for you!! 🙏🏼 Stay positive!! 🌟
@@sm1tty031 I swear I don't say this lightly or because of being "sick" but it's been a blessing in top many ways why? Before finding out I had lymphoma never in my life had I been feeling so stressed like the last 2 years of normal everyday things obviously bills, too working way way too much and not seeing any of my loved ones ans ECT ECT lol.
After finding out i have "cancer" "lymphoma" I laughed genuinely and felt relaxed in my mind like the stress of life all melted away. In that moment I said nothing really is up to us, we only have so much control over things
@@allanmoe4444 i know what you mean. My wife has never been truly sick. She is lucky but she stresses over every little thing. I dont. Life is too short. Thank you for your reply and I wish you life love and happiness
@@sm1tty031 lol side note. My wife makes me feel alittle "sicker" at times and moments that I already feel PHYSICALLY official, and that's really the only times I feel really not good. But I'm very sorry my friend. I don't want to sit and here male and female this. But women's are alittle bit more emotional and unfortunately means can not control their filter as much if that's the right term. But I promise you at my madest moments with my wife, and we're all human at the end of the day, I tell her I think you forget I'm physically sick, but one advice if I can advise you and thinking about my wife you will get resistance is Order REAL REAL olive oil. Nothing from the self of a store unless you're sure it came from a farm in Italy or Jerusalem. Somewhere where you know if it touches a factory it only touched a factory to be bottled. The both of you drink 2 spoons a day and after 2 weeks a shot glass a day and also preheat before boil and rub on skin. I'm not saying this is a cure because in my opinion it's God who makes things work or not(waaaay of topic lol). But you will both see relief in everything everything everything. And if your wife is like mine she might be too stubborn to admit how good it works but you see it in actions and literally with your eyes. It's definitely what's been keeping me strong physically. After being consistent just after a few days my breathing and bones felt more solid after laying for too many days and not exercising and my blood not flowing. After 3 weeks I had enough energy to go back to work because of feeling good (internal not too too much) but have way too much energy and focus to lay down and waste that feeling
My Mum,who died in May of 2021,was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2009,after a scan on her arm which had swollen twice the size,after a fall she'd had.I remember she lost so much weight,going down to 5 stone from 12 sone,and she was quite tall 5f 10,and the weight just dropped off of her,and seeing her in hospital,she looked like a belsen victim,that's what she reminded me of,if you've seen those pictures,she looked like death,it broke me seeing her like that.There was also the fact of me being told by a doctor that I shouldn't hold out much hope,something I was told he shouldn't have said.She was only given 1 month to live,but thanks to will and fighting spirit,not only did she survive another 12 year's,but she went into complete remission,and regained her weight slowly,but never to what it was.I wonder if I too might possibly get it
Man I can't watch these videos because I always convince myself I'm dying.
Hello real ICU doctor. I live in California and have had a UA-cam channel for 12 years. Before making this channel I tried to get this swollen lymph nose biopsied. Unfortunately every doctor I've seen even a few at the ER told me it was too small to worry about and to watch and wait. Even when I said I'd been watching it grow for years I was laughed off, several times. And I'm having the night sweats and everything you mentioned but then it got worse. When the covid pandemic started I had a really good and expensive insurance plan, but doctors were doing "visits" where they stand 6 feet away from you and don't touch you. The hospitals created a triage and release system, stopped doing many diagnostic tests and sent everyone who was healthy enough to survive the night home with a recommendation to go to a non existent primary care physician. So during this time I believe the most likely cancerous lymph node has metastasized. So I went to 3 ERs in California and one in Oregon, and explained in detail that I was concerned about lumps in my neck, breasts, and calyx, and if they do one test please do a pet scan to make sure I do not have bone cancer. I got one x ray and one cat scan with contrast (no pet) and interesting diagnoses. Apparently during the pandemic some people laid in bed feeling their bodies with their hands and felt lumps. The problem according to the Oregon doctor was not that I had lumps but that I was focusing on feeling them and because I'm from California I couldn't go outside without a mask. She recommended I go to restaurants and beaches in Oregon and ignore my lumps. Doctor, I now have been approved for medi-cal and apparently no doctors will see me because its insurance for poor people. If you're liscenced in California can you order real tests on my lumps like biopsies and a pet scan, if I go to an ER or clinic I'll just get dismissed again.
SO were your lymph nodes cancer?
Totally safe and effective. 100 percent safe and effective.
I hate when people watch these channels where we do actually respect the doctors' knowledge and we come to UA-cam to get advise bc we're ignored by our own doctors and we ask them a question but they also ignore you. I hope that your question is answered.
@@tiffanyhollywood2108 I made a video on my own channel and its called something like Adrienne Floreen is getting paralyzed by a tumor, I don't remember the exact title at this point but I went through hell and high water to get a doctor to diagnose the cause of this tumor in both Oregon and California and it's still there. It stopped growing, but it did not stop existing. On the other hand, my searches resulted in me getting suggested news articles almost every day with titles like "the doctor ignored her symptoms until she was diagnosed with stage four cancer or blah blah blah" like popping up in my news feed every single day. Maybe I dodged a bullet and my immune system will keep it at bay and the chemo would have killed me; but the "treatment" I was given is absurd, who in their right mind would tell a woman with lumps in her lymph nodes, breasts, and spine to just go enjoy eating at a restaurant without a mask?
The struggle for poor people is very real. Tertiary care is generally good, however.
At age 10 I was diagnosed with NHL that had CNS involvement. Stage 4. My last treatment was 32yrs ago 🤘

Agreed the doctors are looking out for their bottom line not the patient’s need and care.
Thank you so much.
Have follicular Lymphoma stage 4. Symptoms were so mild that they didn't raise any red flags. Mild night sweats. Not sheet soakers, just would get little sweaty "man this duvet is hot". At times some pressure in the abdomen, but nothing different than sensations like upper intestinal gas. Went for a comprehensive physical (first one as Im 50 and heart disease runs in the family) and when having a sonogram of the abdomen/liver that mass was seen. Scary to think what I'd be now if I didn't get the physical.
I'm sorry to hear that! Have you looked into Turkey tail mushroom? It has interesting facts on cancer and used in parts of Asia with chemo even . Search in UA-cam. Best wishes
May I know you got night sweats multiple time at a night or one time.i am on the same boat please reply me
@@jarraies4939 Usually one time a night. Wake up with a light sweat. I would brush it off as my blanket was too heavy. But it was lymphoma.
The nurse found fluid in my abdomen and my lymph nodes are swollen but I haven’t been diagnosed
This is so freaky, I had literally all of these symptoms but a lymph node biopsy and CT scan came back negative. I'm still freaked out because we had no explanation for what had happened.
I'm so glad💗💗 God bless you!
I had same exact experience.
@@jasonspaulding8397 hope long ago did you experience that? I got really sick in 2020 through 2021. I definitely felt like I was essentially dying, but I started getting better almost out of nowhere. I think maybe it could have been connected to smoking weed? That's a wild idea though, my doctor didn't think that would be the cause, but it's the only factor I know I changed. I had started smoking again around May 2020 and I quit around April 2021, that whole time and some months afterwards I was sick.
@@raeorion Mine started around 2019. The lymph node biopsy results were right around when Covid started. It’s very weird because some of the symptoms come and go and I can’t figure out why? Common themes for me have been body aches, with the worst being my neck. Also got checked for heart palpitations but just like my swollen lymph nodes, I was told they couldn’t find anything and just wait and see if the symptoms go away on their own “because they sometimes do”. I don’t think there’s any link for me personally with smoking weed, symptoms were there before it was legalized in my state…
Thanks Dr Mike...❤
Because of the healthcare industry, the huge workloads, understaffing, it is necessary to do pay attention to yr symptoms, write down the symptoms, when they started, how long you've had it, when do you experience them, and take that to the doctor. It helps because its hard to diagnose after one visit. Its not a solution, but it helps. For myself, I proved to my regular Dr I had a fungal lung infection, by tracking it, and I had been to the ER twice, two specialist, and I was getting worse. I thought I was going to suffocate and I was taking care of someone else. It was frightening. I'm alive because I did this.
Most doctors will miss it anyway. 9/10 appointments I go to are nothing more than 5 minutes of talking and a review of blood work. All at a premium price of course. The quality of healthcare in the USA has hit rock bottom. I've lost faith in the medical industry.
Me too. My doctor missed my non-Hodgkins for maybe 6 months. She kept brushing me off, even when my white blood cell count was through the roof - until I had a lymph node the size of golf ball above my clavicle and she got me in for a CAT scan. By then I was stage 4B and they had to rush me in to a chemo program. Thanks doc.
@@SquintsyBJones Same thing happened to my daughter. It's incompetence.
For 3 1/2 years I’d gone to docs for swollen lymph nodes and had several scans.. was told it’s in my head and not to go to any more doctors.. they apparently spoke to each other about my relentlessness.. had all those symptoms too!.. finally they took a biopsy and yes.. you guessed it.. follicular lymphoma was found under my chin and both sides of my neck and above my collar bone.. stage 2.. bone biopsy was negative.. if they had listened sooner I wouldn’t have had to have radiation.. which causes lymphoma.. crazy!!
How large were the swollen lymph nodes? I just had an ultrasound on mine and they can back within normal range but its a new one I discovered in my neck. Ive always had them under my chin
@@rf6001 same. I have a lump under my jaw and got an ultrasound which showed it was “sub 1 cm” even though it feels quite large like a grape… don’t know how that works. They told me to monitor it and we will scan again in six months. They also found three nodules on my thyroid but I guess that’s pretty “normal” as well.
@@DoctorSess how are you now
@@_True_World I feel alright and the lymph node doesn’t seem like it’s getting any larger as far as I can tell. I guess I just have to wait and see what the next scans show.
@@DoctorSess ok you will be fine from how many month you have this
Dani was a friend of mine whi got ignored like this and died from bone cancer. He had pain in the pelvis for 3 years and got told he was too young for anything to be wrong with him. When they found the cancer it had metastasised to near organs and he died at the young age of 21. He was in so much pain these last few weeks. I miss him a lot.
Im currently feeling very short of breath, heart rate 135 resting, night sweats, all over body itching, recovering from pneumonia. Out of remission for stage 4 lymphoma for the fourth time, yet being treated very badly through no fault of my own. Due to gaslighting regarding my condition. Therefore left without anything in the way of support for the condition I live with which is extremely painful. Right sided pain in abdomen pain in ribcage, lung. Double vision. Treated for lung cancer. Lymphoma ignored even after being diagnosed with it in London. My request for the referral back to London was shut down because they are refusing to share my medical documents there with no reason or explanation. It's inexcusable considering the help Im requesting cold infact help me manage the condition a little longer, rather than leaving me to fall in and out of medical emergency without a break.

General practitioners are unable to diagnose cancer until it has progressed. They have to follow rules of sending patients through hoops to insure insurance pays. They are also taught the phrase, “ when you hear hoofs, think horse not zebras.” It basically means for them to think that most ailments will be common problems instead of something life threatening or unusual.
However, this can be a grave disadvantage to the patients who truly are suffering from real problems. My cancer situation was similar. My friends and family tried to convince me that feeling exhausted was apart of getting older. My general practitioner and the allergy specialist she referred me to didn’t take the giant lymph node forming on my neck as a sign of cancer. I had to go to the hospital on my own to be properly diagnosed.
You have to be your own advocate. Since going through cancer, I research my symptoms heavily. I try to make rational judgements based on the info found. Surprising, Dr. Google has been diagnosing me right most of the time and that is scary. Should i know my own diagnoses before the doctor does?
When I go to the doctors office the nurse just googled my symptoms and points at the screen like “this is it”
nurse didn’t say anything to me. just looked up my symptoms on the computer and left with tinnitus pulled up on the screen
