- I was recently diagnosed with metastatic esophageal cancer, and this is the story of how I eventually got diagnosed. I made this video share my story and with that hopefully help others get to a diagnosis sooner if they are experiencing similar symptoms.

-- I am not a medical professional, so please always go to your doctor if you have any concerns around symptoms you are experiencing. This is just my personal story about what went wrong with my diagnosis, and why it took so long for me to get diagnosed. I am sharing my story in the hopes of helping others find answers sooner, and to raise awareness around the difficulties of navigating the medical system when you are young and otherwise healthy, and a cancer diagnosis is so unlikely that it doesn't come up as something to be screened for. -
I found this video last week because I was experiencing weird throat pain and my doctor dismissed it as allergies. I'm replying today because after viewing this video, I went back to a different ENT and they did an endoscopy. He found a small mass next to my larynx. It was caught early enough and I should (probably) be okay. I wanted to get in contact with this woman and thank her personally, only to find out she passed away. I'm deeply saddened by this. She may have saved my life and I only wish I could tell her...
What's is your final diagnosis.. is all ok
Is everything okay? What did you find out?
I'm having throat pain too where's yours located?
@@manojkale4408 I had a mass on my larynx just under 1 inch in diameter. It was caught early and was still stage 0 laryngeal cancer and hadn't spread to lymph nodes yet. Surgery went well and my larynx was kept in tact. It'll have to be monitored closely for a while but for now I look to be in the clear.
@@ellaelliott4415 My pain was located to the left and above my adam's apple. It didn't hurt all the time but hurt sometimes when I swallowed, and all the time when my throat would "flex" like burping or hiccupping. It made my voice a little raspy and felt like some food was stuck in it. Turns out the "food" was a small lump that was slowly getting bigger, and the raspy voice was because it was on my larynx. My first ENT dismissed it as allergies and after viewing this video I saw a second just to be safe. I figured the first was right but I'd sleep better after a second opinion. Good thing I did! After he removed the endoscope he kinda looked at me sheepishly and said "well, we definitely got some data..." then showed me the video. Part of me wants to be really mad at the first guy, but I'm honestly too relieved to carry around that kinda hate.
I know you have passed gorgeous girl, but what a warrior. May you fly high.
how you know??😢
@@missveggie908 a video of a friend. She let her friend to tell that she passed 😢 look it up. Then her friend passed also. Lung cancer 😢
This woman died. But in the depths of her sorrow, she battled, and she helped many people. This is an amazing and heartbreaking yet empowering and uplifting story. It's so easy to be overwhelmingly discouraged after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. But no matter what, you have to fight. Fight with your heart and soul. Be courageous, be proactive, be a warrior. Yes, you may not survive. But taking productive action, like doing extensive research and sharing your knowledge and experience with others, is rewarding on so many levels. It gives you a sense of purpose, regardless of how dire the prognosis. I might not survive, but I'm gonna make sure I help as many people as I can through my experience. I will fight. And I will die with grace and dignity and love and hopefully impact the lives of others and maybe help save a few.💪💪🤟🤘 stay strong my fellow warriors.
When did she pass away?

Omg just sad😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮
Sadly i must say that i do not feel that cancer research or treatment has advanced at all over the past 60 years at all .With the money invested into this disease it is beyond me as to why ? Mike.
To her family, thank you for keeping this video up. It is so important for others. I am so deeply sorry the medical community in America is so messed up and cost you such a lovely soul.
She was actually Canadian BTW
@Kazilikaya Then Canada an America are completely messed up. UK can be added to this list. It's sad to think advanced countries still have an archaic medical system that's killing people.
You make it sound like they caused her cancer. They didn't. You want to blame someone/thing, then blame God.
They didn't cause her cancer but they delayed her diagnosis significantly and ran the wrong initial test. If the cancer hadn't had time to spread, she very well may still be living. Shame on the medical community- this should not have been missed.@@Snarkapotamus
@@luv2u820 - If you think it's so easy, then start your journey to becoming a physician and show us all how it's done! Physicians are only human, they're not infallible.

This young woman is smart as a whip, extremely well-spoken, beautiful and direct.
Christine Craft can’t believe she didn’t make it she was so great to remind us of our health so eel spoken! What a waste of a great human
And a distinct lack of self pity and "why me". How is she? Any updates?
@@janetwhite7786 she passed away
@@eoinoconnell7007 Sad.
I was thinking the same. I enjoy hearing here i feel like im sittin with her. She made me think of my cousin.
This type of stuff makes me sick to the core. She knew something was wrong all along and was completely ignored. Blessings to your soul and your family!
A diagnosis of dysplasia on an endoscopy might have saved her. This is not the first case I read about misdiagnosis. I hope the doctor got sued.
Doctors are becoming useless
I fell her pain 7 blood tests about 10 doctor appointments 3 years later finally get a endoscopy keeped being told just fatty liver or acid reflux found out had hiatus hernia and the last couple years food really gets stuck where I'm choking all the doctors care about these days is patients numbers through the door for statistics not actually caring for patients
My daughter who is 30 years old has been having the esophical cancer symptoms. And she went to the doctor a year-and-a-half ago with symptoms and told them and they gave her antacids. They didn't do any testing. Now the symptoms are worse, she's having her food feel stuck right about in between her breasts just like this woman that did the video. When she drinks liquids sometimes she gets very painful hiccups. I am so sad to think that my daughter may have this cancer. She is going to be getting some tests done in the next week or two. I suppose I better prepare myself for the reality that this could very well take her life. I saw online that once you're diagnosed you have approximately 3 to 12 months to live. And that there are very few survivors. This makes me want to puke. It's my only daughter.. I have 4 unruly sons and one beautiful wonderful daughter. Tears tears cry cry sad sad💦💦💦..."Update" 11-2-2019
This is an update for all you tenderheart Bears out there. Who actually got your feelings hurt over reading my message. My daughter had her esophageal cancer test and it was "negative."🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
She is on a drug that she has been taking for approximately four and a half years that the doctor said is probably the reason that she's having these symptoms. In other words there are certain prescription drugs that can cause a side effect like that. I'm happy to say she does not have cancer!!! hip hip hooray :-)🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
Thats what I'm saying....when you're younger you're ignored because you..."don't fit into that age group for that certain kind of thing to be wrong with you".....when it gets worse along the way ...they finally figure that she knew what shes talking about about ....OF COURSE WE KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT INSIDE OF OUR OWN BODIES....why do you think we have to push doctors to give us testing that we need...even some of us older folks have to give firm pushes,thats how we can catch it earlier and get on it...as long as we set back and don't say nothing and pray we live through it....keep pushing young people and God bless you...!!!
This lady described it exactly as my dad did. Finding it hard to swallow was one of the first symptoms he got until he was bringing up anything he ate. Feeling like he had indigestion constantly. He passed away last year from the same cancer. He lived 7 months from first diagnosis and I miss him terribly😢 my love to anyone suffering at this moment ❤
I had temporary dysphagia the second time I got COVID. It was the only symptom other than sleeping for 12 hours when I wasn’t even tired which was unusual for me (I can normally get by on 6) and the distinct COVID flavor which was how I knew it was COVID.
I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. My dad also died a horrible death from esophageal cancer. He was diagnosed in October and died in January.
@@current-residentso sorry for the loss of your dad also 😢 heartbreaking to lose your dad I don’t think you ever get over.
I found this video a few weeks ago when I was doubting whether I was being paranoid or not. Turns out they found a tumor at the base of my esophagus. After years of being told it’s stress. I’m finally getting answers. Rest in peace to this beautiful woman and thank you for sharing your story.
did you have any symptoms like difficulty swallowing?

Christine ( girl in video) passed away In May 2019.
God bls u what was your kind and stage and your age
@Ronald Krikorian, Charly: Try again.
So sorry.
Fucking kick it until you see your Lord!!
As a primary care dentist, I have NEVER used a patient's age against them and have always made cancer towards the top of my differential diagnosis list. One case like this is one case too many!
This is so refreshing to read. Two dentists completely ignored the possibility of something serious going on with me because I'm "too young" and "not a man," and now I have no clue what to do. I'm scared something's wrong with me and it'll be too late by the time I get tested for things.
Thank you for your service, knowledge, and common sense.
Cancer does not discriminate against age, and doctors/ dentists shouldn't either.
LIER, none of the DDS or hygienists check for ca. They just worry about $$$
My husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer two days ago. Biopsy is still in process. From endoscopy and ct abdomen/pelvis scan oncologist said husband have 6 months life. We are devastated. I found this beautiful soul video and from the first video sounded so promising to life until, I found out she is passed away. Here I am crying and can not stop …
May she rest in peace 🪽🖤Thank you to the family keeping the videos and making other people aware of this cruel illness.
I'm so sorry. This happened to my brother. He died in may this year. He was stage 4 terminal at the beginning. With chemo and drugs lots of pain killers he lasted 20 months. He was told like your husband 6 months. I feel for you all it's not easy if you want to talk just let me know. I had no one to communicate with in my area only the medical professionals. Stay strong.
@@tina-louisephillips787 Thank you! ♥️
Hope your husband is doing well, well pray for him!
@@jessicasweatt3247 not sure how to answer this. My husband went through 4 rounds (chemo is every other week) of chemo and immunotherapy and after the second one he started to pass out. Oncologists said I can’t do much so they ordered MRI on his head and is all clear, no cancer. However, they did an early PET scan and the cancer shrinked as well as lymph nodes, the mass in the stomach is not visible. Now since January 4th he is in a hospital and they found Amyloidosis on his heart through biopsy. Waiting to see what type it is. So stressful. He has been through so much and he is fighting with legs and arms and heart ♥️ Chemo is off the table at this moment and we don’t know nothing what’s going to be next, tests are in progress in the hospital until further notice from the doctors.
Thank you for asking! ♥️
I really liked her. ❤
Doctors always blame anxiety as a scapegoat excuse 🙄🙄
Yes that's 100% right
She’s gone
In a dr. office you are the boss, it is your body ,it your body nobody can know more about it than you. The dr, is there to give your feed back, dont let Dr. impose his supposed knowledge over your symptoms. Each human came here with a genetic story, be it children or adult, they cant put your in basket.
Very sad. They just want people to get chemo, surgery,put on drugs, so they can get richer.
Fucking hate it. Anxiety my ass. I’ve been dealing with tremors, shortness of breath , back pain and chest pain reflux , stomach discomfort . Told it’s anxiety
She passed, God bless her beautiful soul! Rest in peace sweet lady
How long ago?
Oh no! :-( Seriously?? That makes me so sad. Wow...

I was 27 years old the first time I was diagnosed with cancer, and just like you I was told that I was a 27 year old female that had stage 4 cancer that they only found in 65-70 yr olds that smoked two packs a day... then at age 58 I was diagnosed again with stage 4 cancer.. I had gone to see my doctor several times over a period of 6-9 months complaining about a sore throat, headache and issues swallowing, he kept putting me on high doses of antibiotics and pain meds.. he thought I had a nasal infection... things didn’t go so well.. so I totally get what’s going on for you.. one more thing was at age 50 I went to see the doc because I just felt lousy, no energy, up at night thirsty and urinating often, doc felt I was depressed so he wanted to prescribe antidepressants, I stood up and looked him square on and said draw my blood and do a complete CBC now! He called me into his office the very next day and told me I was type one diabetic that my blood sugar was 670!!! I’m surprised that he didn’t send me to the hospital immediately.. idiot!!
I have always been a healthy eater, exercised often I weighed 130 most of my life... .. I’m now 62 I live off grid alone, I split several cords of firewood for heat and cooking on wood stove.. it’s hard work but it’s truly beautiful. Bless you with your journey.. I have to say doctors piss me off!!!!
I tout thought type 1 was for user 30
You're awesome!
You beat Stage 4 cancer twice?????
Yep
You need a UA-cam channel to show people how to live. Wow!
I’m a GI (endoscopy) nurse. It infuriates me that they didn’t send her for a CT or a scope sooner! Grrr! I see GI cancer every week & it happens to young adults all the time. Don’t let your doc put you off. If you have swallowing issues or GERD (acid relic), insist on a scope! Worse case scenario it cost you money. Best course scenario it saves your life❣️
i have no health insurance. im in so much pain my eyes well up when i eat or drink. not every time i eat but id say 80%. i had thyroid cancer about 6 years ago and im feeling worn down again. i also have 3 very hard lymph nodes along the right side of my neck in a line each about the size of big lima beans. i also have noticed swelling along the base of my skull. i also have swollen lymph nodes behind both knees. i have addisons,type 2 diabetic, both types of arthritis and a few other things so im hoping its just one of those causing my problems.
When you say scope does that mean endoscopy?

My brother was told by his doctor it was just heartburn and not to worry.... 9 months later he died of this cancer. Sometimes doctors just dont listen or care.
Sorry for your loss
I know doctor often do not listen deaf or deaf-blind patient dealing with medical neglecting . A.D.A lawyer say they are suppose to listen to anybody.. Disabitlies people neglected their health it was not their fault. They keep come back to see their doctor. 85% Doctor often neglected disabilities. lawsuit can be complications.

And that's why Doctors pay so much yearly in malpractice insurance.
Smh, I’m so sorry. What kind of cancer did he have?
What kind of person would thumbs down this video? She is amazing and beautiful!!!
13 and 14 year old boys probably.
Probably a health care “professional”
I think some people use the dislike button in the way they use facebook emojis... none of us would put a laughing face or a thumbs up on this video if we saw it on fb (I hope)! Most of us that clicked the like button here didn't do it because we're happy that she has cancer but to acknowledge that we appreciate her making the video and sharing her journey with us.
That said, yes there are always people in the world, (especially on social media where they're anonymous), that are simply mean.
@ladymadecrazy. I do agree for the most part. I feel bad clicking 'like' on a video like this, but that is what you have to do to support the UA-camr. But some people will think like Facebook, so click the dislike, meaning they don't like the subject, and aren't being nasty. Though of course there are those people who go around just being dorks and clicking dislike for the 'fun' of it. Now that is disgusting for sure.
Lettermansgirl she passed away in May of this year so sad 😭 😢
Unfortunately oesophageal cancer often does not present with symptoms until it is fairly advanced by which time it may have already spread. R.I.P young lady 🙏🏼

True. When you get to the point when you choke on food and can't eat or drink start writing your will.
Cause nothing is going to help you. Besides Cancer always returns with a vengeance.
It sucks that most cancers are like this. No symptoms until final stage
@@lorij6796 My step father had some chest pain, he thought it might be a heart attack or heart issue. Went to hospital and after some tests and scans then a probe down the throat he was told he had 3 months to live. He died pretty much spot on that 3 months. Unfortunately by the time that type of cancer shows symptoms it has already spread to the liver, by which time there’s not a lot of hope.
I'm so sorry to hear she passed away. I lost my mom to esophageal cancer and my first husband to melanoma. It shouldn't have mattered that she was female and only 34. She presented symptoms and they were more or less dismissed. Doctors need to listen to their female patients. It's not "anxiety" or "PMS" or whatever females get stereotyped with. If she was diagnosed early she might be here today. So tragic.
Mine died on Wednesday at 44😭😭😭😭

My dad went through the same, mis diagnosed told him it was acid reflux for 2 years until he couldnt eat, after tests found he had osophogus cancer, his cancer had spread to brain and liver, the doctor said you should have got diagnosed earlier and you may have had a chance.

Esophageal cancer is caused in most cases by acid reflux. It sounds like your dad likely had Barrett’s esophagus which progressed to cancer.

oh tomorrow afternoon late in the evening, Christine have heard this from far away, she start to cry and said, I will kill me with an overdose, I can not stay any longer with this terrible pain.I WANT TO BRING these CHARLATANS they are not doctors, to the court, but how can I do it myself alone, her husband is from London, but he has no interest in doing it, he doe's not communicated with me that is extremely sad, Christine's last wish whore, leave my legacy alive, start a foundation in my both name's she asked me, than she called her husband: my mother is on speaker, please you two need to work together, please no fights,Christine had at that point 15 litters fluid in her stomach and belly, can you imagined the pain this poor girl came true? every night her husband put that very very hot bags on her, she was burned around all area of stomach and back, when I asked her wat that was, she said I could not feel how hot the water was, the pain was unbearable,I'm so angry so angry that you can not even imagined, they kilt my poor daughter,and the doctors go out free because I can not do anything, i even don't know the way in that country to walk in, I have no family, nobody of her contacts have contacted me, all is stolen from me, if you can imagine how angry a person get when a small thing is stolen from you, imagined your only child, a brilliant Jung intelligent with a PhD degree in neurosciences, I can not function anymore since we got the diagnose, I have had to get her funeral myself, nobody to help, nothing came true what she asked and desired,How can a mother alone in disper and broken with her only death child organized a funeral???????Christine was sure that her nice, her husband, her aunts from Vader's side would help to organize all, and so her legacy, her foundation, but never have heard from them anymore,Nobody where I tell our bitter history people start to have tears, they say one thing only: they are no human's, I'm sorry to tell you all of this, but My anger is bigger than this whole world, my anger is so big that you can not even imagine, some times me feel we can talk to the other, that what I have now with you, thanks for your note on here,poor Christine she did not deserve what she came true, her last 3 months where hell, she was in hell, nobody of her Vader's familie came to visit her in London, it is not far away tougth, Holland to London, the most people make it in the morning and back in the evening, they never came to her, poor girl, she had nobody beside me durant the day, no flower from that big familie, no kart to support her, nothing.sometimes we make extreme big mistakes with meeting with the wrong very wrong people, that was when I decided to tell her Vader that I was pregnant, there the hell became, can tell you more 500 pages what my poor girl came true, she has deserved a lovely life, she did not get it, not even with her last day on the hearth, also there was hell, because a monster that came in the room, if was today he never would have come close.I know Christine wants to get the doctors In London in the court, for sure.
I believe that there's a higher power to which they'll answer, but not on this earth. They do this to people left and right, and nothing will ever happen to them. The apathy and narcissism is rampant, and results in many deaths on a yearly basis. No one speaks about this though.

Its not curable unfortunately best case scenario is 5 years most ppl d9nt get that much

So sorry, I know what you went through. My poor husband suffered with all the useless treatments. Only to have a horrific death. I will never forget what I witnessed.
Take a pass on chemo. It won't help to suffer a few months longer.
If I get it I will have a peaceful exit. Oregon is a right to die state and you can get physician assisted suicide if you have a terminal illness.
I used to have a hard time swallowing too but then I got my throat stretched and now I’m fine, at least I hope I am. I have acid reflux at times but I stopped in drinking coffee about a year ago and I feel better.
So sorry ❤❤❤
Jeez. Poor woman. It pisses me off that doctors don’t take people seriously; I am so sorry. Rest In Peace. 🙏❤️

How is ur husband now?
How’s your husband doing
My eldest brother had the same cancer, stage II. He had surgery, removing the esophagus and attached the stomach way up into the chest. The cancer came back a year later in his brain and liver . We lost him this past January. He never smoked and was 73 years old. He was a firefighter/paramedic for 35 years though. All 7 of us siblings miss him! I hope this chemo works for you Radiation worked best on him.
Unfortunately Cancer cells can grow Anywhere in the human body. One doesn’t have to smoke to get Lung cancer…just being a human being is chance enough.sadly.
wonder if the smoke from being a firefighter was like 50 years of smoking cigarettes.

Cancer is God's creation
Thanks for putting your video out there. My name is Mark, and I have recently been diagnosed with esophageal cancer also. Feb 11 2019 to be exact. I really think someone should have done proper testing a long time ago. My first symptoms back in mid May 2018 were, I would have a slight burp, then a slight chest pain would slowly come in, hang there for a couple seconds, then go away. As time went on, this would happen more often, with gradually worse chest pains and upper back discomfort. This may have been the GERD. Eventually the chest pains were getting pretty bad, especially when I wake up in the middle of the night. The chest pains got bad, but didn't really hang around for very long usually. I seen a clinic around July 18 2018 about the chest pains etc. We did all the blood tests etc. and the Dr. referred me to a cardiologist, and we were to go from there. The blood work looked ok as far as cancer, however I did have high cholesterol. I was referred to a cholesterol course, which took place Nov 20. By early Oct 2018, I started to have the problem of food getting stuck in my chest area, and pain full swallowing (dysphagia). Chest pains still there as bad as ever and dysphagia, I decided to go back to the clinic end of Oct to mention my new symptoms, as I was still waiting to hear from the cardiologists. I requested to see the same doctor that I seen in July, but they sent me to a different guy instead. I explained to him the history of my symptoms and steps I have taken so far. He asks me what is your anxiety? I told him, I had none. Eventually he asks me what I think it was. I said, I'm not sure, but it COULD be cancer. Then I explained to him how my dad died at an early age of cancer. He goes to his computer and looked up some kind of fancy scientific name for anxiety, and he told me that is what I had. He said I have anxiety because of my dad dying a long time ago. (I know I had no anxiety on this, CONCERN, yes, but not anxiety. He told me to just wait until after I see the cardiologist and then we can go from there. He did at one point mention, he did not think it was a cardiology type problem and could be esophageal if anything. I didn't have anxiety, however, if I did, I think that some kind of esophageal test should have been done. Anyway, decided to wait for a while longer in hopes we can get this cardiologist thing out of the way. December 4ish, cardiologist phones and asks me a bunch of questions over the phone. To them it sounded like GERD, however they said they would get back to me. Early January 2019, the GF is getting tired of me waiting around and books me an appointment with her family doctor. Seen the doctor Jan 14, sent me for Barium x rays. Jan 18 she notifies me of a 8cm long tumor in my esophagus which could be either benign or cancerous. Jan 21 2019 CT scan. Feb 6 2019 gastroscopy and biopsy of the tumor for malignancy. Feb 11 2019, Yip, its cancer. Wait, wait, wait, got a consultation appointment for Feb 25 2019 with a Cardiothoracic Surgeon in a couple days from now, also booked in for a PET Scan for Mar 7 2019, to find out what stage, (I can only imagine). I think this waiting around just might get me eventually. I know this is a long comment, but it really could help someone. I did not find this kind of info about my symptoms in the early stages. Oh, by the way, the Cardiologist office phoned me Jan 21 to book me in for an appointment on Jan 25. I told them I no longer need their services as it is a tumor. That was pretty much a 6 month wait. Anyway, really plan to do battle on this thing as soon as things get started, I have drastically changed the eating habits.
Hi Mark, I am soooo so so very sorry for your journey so far. I am hoping and crossing fingers and praying for you that you don't have any metastasis like me. Nonetheless, and regardless of whether or not you do you are right: lets battle this! We can do it and I so appreciate your super long comment. I agree it should help someone else. I wish so much that I had seen a comment like yours when I was crying over the sink/bin/toilet (after dysphasia) when someone would figure out what was wrong. I think it is remarkable that in your case too they gave it the anxiety label. It seems to be the go to for stuff that isn't clear and to avoid expensive tests. Then again how expensive is a test compared to the long treatments we go through, and the life altering craziness? I think there is a lot wrong with how diagnostics work, and I just wish that in 2018, when I started having a gut feeling (that is all, I had no symptoms) I would have taken myself for a private CT test just to calm the voice in my head. I didn't and I wish I had because without question it was already there. Anyhow, back to you: I am glad you are also tackling your diet. I have as well. I was always healthy but did have a 5 year period of not-so-healthy life (not just diet, but also lifestyle, sleep, work, etc). Cancer, I believe, is a very multi faceted issue and when people tackle a lot of areas in their lives at once, they seem to do better and live longer. Again, let's do this together. I know we can! contact me anytime you want to talk, vent, or discuss treatment options. I've discovered we are our own best doctors.
I hope all is going well with you too. I never realized that there was so much waiting in between tests and meetings with doctors etc. I guess I'm not the only one with issues. I had my consultation with the doctor yesterday. He didn't really tell me anything that I didn't already know, however I am now referred to a cancer clinic for once my PET scan is done. That is one thing he told me, if it hasn't spread, it would be chemo and radiation for two months, then one month wait, then surgery possibly. I like to keep positive, however, if I were to bet money on this thing, I would say it has probably spread, just because it has been with me for so long. I also like to be prepared. I don't have much fear, although I have had my moments. Just thought I would give you a little update. I really hope things are going well for you still. Oh, by the way, I am 54, male, who did used to smoke way back about 16 or more years ago. @@biohazardgirl7465
@@balackjack42 Hi again Mark! so nice to hear from you! First of all: forget the smoking. I never did and I got this. Don't blame yourself, first of all, and yes try to stay calm. I think mental mindset is super important in these situations and we need to try and train our brain to be as positive as possible. I so appreciate hearing from you! I am crossing my fingers and toes for you and hope it is just localized. :) Even if not, there is always a lot of hope!
@@balackjack42 Forgot to say: yes I am doing reasonably well, thank you!! Today is my next round of chemo! enjoying a bit of sun on a patio waiting for my friend who is coming to throw a chemo party with me!
I have barret's esophagus diagnoses and I have started to experience tingling, numbness, and tension in my upper back. My doctor thinks it is anxiety. I was scoped a year ago with no cancer or dysplasia, but the upper back sensations are new. What was the nature of your upper back discomfort (if you don't mind me asking)? I certainly hope you make a full recovery.
This is so sad 😢 this is literally exactly what my mother went through, the doctor's constantly said it's nothing, did the barium tests etc, then finally found the cancer, but it was too late 😢 RIP lovely lady x
Did they find it during barium? Asking for my grandmother. :(
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
@@haydanashley619barium is not absolute test.
My mom had esophageal cancer. Her wonderful doctor saw some bloodwork numbers that indicated she was losing blood somewhere. In his older patients, Mom was 70, he always went looking for the source, and found the tumor with endoscopy. It was caught early and we were quite hopeful. It did end up spreading, but we got 4-1/2 years, which is more than most get. Thank you for sharing your story.
This was an excellent video. Your level of composure and the frank, straightforward information was incredibly helpful. You definitely are helping people with this. You can read all the WebMD articles you want, but hearing someone chronicle the symptoms they experienced and tests they went through is much more informative. Thank you.
AllGoodThingsNetwork s
🥰Thank You so much for sharing your story. Medical info from the patient can be very important information for the rest of us to know. I do hope you are doing very well. I recently moved to a new state, and will be looking for a specialist for my check up. Similar troubles. God Bless You🙏🏻
@@ruthcanaday5379 She died a couple of months after this video.
@@bathsheba9581 m
She died. She was way too optimistic.
What a brilliant young lady this was for sharing this. I’ve had endoscopies which have come back negative but I do have oesophagus spasms that stop me from eating food sometimes. I’ve had it for approx 20 years. Doctors have never really been able to pinpoint what exactly is wrong with my throat or why I can’t swallow. It ranges from acid reflux to allergies to certain proteins in food. I really wanted to thank this lady for dedicating some of her time to helping others, but sadly as I read the comments I was struck with sorrow. What an absolute shame this woman is no longer with us. She didn’t deserve that.
Sammy ,Have them.check you for Achalasia (Irregular esophagus and problems in the muscles that open and close esophagus ) .
There needs to be legislation passed to STOP these doctors heading straight to "it's in your head" I pray to God something gets done about this. I'm so mad hearing about her treatment
It’s upsetting to think of how much time the doctor wasted in finding the right test. She may have been saved had he made a better decision on testing instead of assuming she was too young and a female to be a risk for cancer. She was so well spoken and when I watched the video I had intended to subscribe to follow her progress. Then I read the comments! May she Rest In Peace.
This is the problem with the Canadian healthcare system. In America, if a doctor is dismissive you can always go find another one.
@@Kazilikaya Yes we have same problem here in Norway
its always how they think if your a female, med is a boys club still and it kills us. there's a great book about it
It took five years for me to be diagnosed with Parkinsons. They kept saying it was stress. This is in the wonderful capitalist healthcare system in the United States. I didnt get diagnosed until I had an episode while visiting a friend in London. My bill thanks to the NHS was zero. Long Live the NHS
What a difference you made before you departed . R.I.P. you are an angel !
Rest In Peace.
She passed away on the 22nd of May. Tragic that she was ignored for so long.
Tickle ThyPickle omg what!?!?! bless her heart so sad :'( xx
Amanda Barry It’s devastating. I saw people speculating as she wasn’t posting much on here so I checked her social media and her mum broke the news.
Tickle ThyPickle oh no so sad :-( xxx
Oh Dear God. 😢
Rest I Peace sweet lady💛💛💛
Tickle ThyPickle omg that is so bad poor lady rest in peace hun xxx
To the family of this now passed young lady, inspirational...selfless, thoughtful, strong...So sorry for your great loss, thankyou for keeping this video up...🎀🎀🎀❤
My deepest condolences on your loss. Your daughter's legacy lives on in helping others.
She's still alive you moron
@@Kazilikaya you're one disgusting human for joking like that.
@@Kazilikaya Ignore the stupid troll that is @Pulling the strings. Idiot knows she passed.

Oh my gosh! Wow I just watched this video and scrolling through the comments I come to find out this beautiful brave soul passed away. May you rest in peace. Thank you so much for sharing your story before you left us. Rest in heaven
I just found this video today. I’ve had swallowing issues for months and symptoms have escalated recently. I saw a doctor at urgent care yesterday. I appreciate that he got me a referral to an ENT for two and a half weeks from now. I’m scared. Eating is uncomfortable. I need answers. I hope I haven’t waited too long to get medical help, but I was in another state caring for my mom who has cancer. Bless this woman for putting her story out there for others to benefit from. I truly saddened that she didn’t survive.
Just found out you’re not with us anymore. What an inspiration you have been to all of us. 💕
This just pisses me off! Doctors /medical field need to start taking things serious! I think we can all tell by your composure, your smarts, etc, you know what you were taking about. Positive vibes to you.
I complained to my doctor about my waist expanding. She told me to watch my diet and get an exercise ball. I switched doctors and the new one ordered an ultrasound. They found an 11 cm cyst on my ovary. Thank goodness it was benign, but what if it hadn't been? People, listen to your body. If your doctor won't take you seriously, go to another one. Don't let intimidation or a misguided sense of loyalty get in the way of your health.
God bless her soul🙏 my husband just passed from esophageal cancer it’s very painful and cruel , she is lucky she had a year, this cancer takes people very quickly , I pray they uncover a cure soon🙏
I’m so sorry. Rest In Peace. You were a strong woman
I'm so sorry For the loss of this poor, sweet woman. I cannot believe they did not do an endoscope much earlier. It's a simple procedure.
Did she pass?
What’s an endoscope
@@Ozzyozzysheesh it's a camera down you're gullet and stomach.
So very sad . Broke my heart
i was so over joyed to see this video (i have stage 4 esophageal cancer) i related to her and at the same time felt empathy for her. But this is the end 2023, 4 years later, she has died, but it gave me...NOT hope, i already know what is coming for me...but a feeling of compassion for her and compassion is a nice feeling when most times i am feeling fear, anger, resentment towards the healthy...here she is looking so alive and good....i feel good after watching her...then i saw that she has died and my heart broke...but this is a wonderful video of; im certain, a wonderful person
Dear Steve. Hi. I'm Liz. I'm 63 and having GI and esophageal issues. I'm going for an endoscopy soon. I want to encourage you to go on you tube and type in Pastor Charles Lawson. He is a fantastic intelligent preacher of the true gospel. Listen to one or more of his sermons. He will not steer you wrong. I promise. Peace. 🙏👏✌️
have you consider of intermittent fasting?🥲
Hope you are doing good ❤
This woman has such a beautiful soul. I’m so grateful she shared her story and heart broken to read she is no longer with us. She has such a loving giving personality.
This poor young woman lost her life because doctors don't listen to women, young or old. Ageism (towards both ends of the age spectrum), and sexism in the medical profession, are killing women. It's got to stop. What a lovely, brave young woman. May she rest in peace. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends, who must be heartbroken to have lost her.
True 💔
I know right so sad that she passed away bc people dont believe women. My own mom didnt believe me when I brought up that something could be wrong with my heart now 3 years later still havnt been to the dr. but working on it. But by now I've collapsed 2x bc of chest pain. 3 yr ago a dr listened to my heart for 2min and said I had a healthy heart regardless of what I told her
Has nothing to do with doctors not listening to women. They dont listen to patients. Nice way to turn this into sexist racist agist bs
@@majed2488 You are wrong. You have no idea what you're talking about. If you're trolling, you picked the wrong place. You disrespect the dead, and the living. Goodbye.
@@mbd6054 How did I disrespect that nice lady? You are the on that I disagreed with and that to you is disrespect? Show me data that shows your claim to be true if you really think sexism somehow affects the way doctors diagnose their patients how stupid of a belief
Omg this brings me to tears. My mom too was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer that had spread to her lymphnodes. She was misdiagnosed from multiple doctors because they all assumed she was a healthy lady and could only be indigestion. She was IGnored for months hell even years from her doctors, she knew something was wrong and nobody would listen. Finally she was diagnosed January 21, 2019 and passed away December 9, 2019. My mom did everything right. I don’t understand how this shit can continue to happen
So sorry for your loss. I loss my sister to colon cancer in less than a year of her diagnosis. She never drinker or smoked. Cancer sucks fr
I fear that is going to be me. I can’t get any one to listen and I even have DNA Tests which say I’m more likely to get cancer.
@@ldsjen0227 ivermectin is being studied to cure cancer.... It's cheap and you can get it yourself at the feedstore
Prayers for you, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. I was 26 I had a 11 pound cancerous Germ Cell tumor. The first doctor diagnosed me with Constipation. When me and my mom were leaving the nurse told us that we should go to the ER for a second opinion. She new something wasn’t right because my BP was extremely high. I’m thankful we listened to the nurse because when we arrived at the ER my BP was 210/168. They took me straight back and ran all kinds of tests. The doctor told me I hade a huge tumor, I was in kidney failure and I need to be transplanted to the trauma center. When I got there I hade emergency to remove the tumor. The doctors told my parents I got to the ER just in time or I would not be here today. I’m in remission but I have long term side effects from the chemo. Most of my time is spent at the doctors. Doctors need to take us more seriously no matter how old we are. I’ve had to many doctors tell me theirs nothing wrong with me because I’m to young or It’s all in my head. If doctors would start talking people more seriously and do all the necessary tests to rule out any medical conditions. Then maybe cancer would be caught early.
wow. What was the constipation like? Could you get anything out?
I apologize. I didn’t realize she passed. My condolences.
Oh how 😥 sad. R I P 🙏
I just found out myself , it breaks my heart for her and her family .
I have acid reflux , Gerd , Low stomach acid, etcc.
I believe acid reflux "might be " the Root cause of all this .
I believe I could be wrong . because the doctors I visit will not tell me much of anything.
What is the Root Cause of Esophageal Cancer ?
This is such a fantastic video, so grateful she shared her experience with us - it is such a scandal that doctors brush away concerns from people just because they aren't over 55.
Heartbroken, just discovered this beautiful lady rest easy
Hi Christine. My Uncle lived through esophegeal cancer. He had part his esophegus removed and they reattached his stomach to his esophagus. He went through treatment and then lived for many years after that. I sincerely hope the best for you. ❤🙏

@@GailMcHughAuthor there's a video on here a very good friend did it for her. I couldn't believe it. Such a short time he said she fought like heck. I cried and was heartbroken and didn't even know her. I watch her videos but didn't know her in real life. It was just so sad she was so young and it really angered me she could of beat this if they would of would of listened to her. 😡😡😢😢
So sorry to hear that this young lady passed away. May her memory be for a blessing.
Glad she made this video to be remembered by and teaching us about this disease and the journey
I am a breast cancer survivor, and a retired surgical, medical oncology, and palliative care nurse. Eleven years ago, my very first mammogram revealed I had Triple Negative Breast Cancer at 46. What an articulate, brave, and compassionate women who began her cancer journey, by sharing her story in hopes of helping others. I am sorry to hear that Christine passed away just four months later on May 22, 2019. May all of the wonderful memories that her loved ones made with her eventually give them comfort, strength, and peace during this difficult time. All the very best to those who watch her video, Sherrey🎀🎗🎀
I’m just seeing this for the first time. You’re definitely in my prayers.
Where ever you are, know that you are still helping people. Thank you
Just saw this and wish I could give her a hug. I hope she is resting in peace and in Heaven with those she loves. What a good soul.
We all complain over little little aches and pains...... but honestly you are 1 of the most strongest woman I have ever seen......
my prayers are with you..... I really hope you have a speedy recovery.... STAY STRONG!
Unfortunately, she passed away in May of this year.
Oh no... that’s so sad 😞 May her soul rest in peace
Such a lovely person! May she rest in peace.
Moral of the story... Don't give up when you feel that something is not right.
this is so informative. you are saving lives when you share your story
I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. My prayers are lifted up for you.
I've had these symptoms for a long time. But I also have CRPS, a neurological pain disease. You are right about doctors brushing off women, sending us for psychological treatment.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm a man and they brush me off too. They just label every complaint I ever have as symptoms of anxiety or an infection and send me on my way.
This woman was very brave and we appreciate her information for all of us.
She was so beautiful and courageous and so full of life ... I'm so sorry to read about her passing away. Rest In Peace beautiful angel 😔🕊
Thank you for this video. I hope your recovery goes smoothly. Take care
Rest In Peace. I just read that she passed away. So sad.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your symptoms. Even if you save one live, you left a wonderful legacy...peace.
What a brave and generous thing to do, creating a video will no doubt save a life. It is so easy at any age to ignore symptoms if your medical professionals are not concerned. How many stories I’ve heard of missed diagnosis, at the cost of the patient. I look forward to more videos and wish you all the best luck.
Thank you for sharing your story. Will pray for your complete recovery.

Yet another case of a woman being dismissed with a diagnosis of “anxiety “. The first step should have been an endoscopy. This is outrageous

They ALWAYS say it’s anxiety
Men get it too. Not trying to dismiss your statement but it’s a huge problem for us all.
@@BManStan1991 ya the problem is people take men seriously when they have anxiety and they don’t take women seriously if they have something other than anxiety. So weird 🤷🏻♀️ lol
@@carissaexplainsitall8481 that's not true. I have severe anxiety and it took years to find a doctor who didn't fob off my diagnosis(es).

My mom didn't have early diagnosis too. The doctors said it was just a tonsillitis, but days passed, my mom experienced difficulty in swallowing foods and even liquid water. She took second opinion and underwent to endoscopy, biopsy, and ct scan and sadly, it was esophageal cancer. We did everything even we are poor just to help my mom to survive with the cancer but she lost with her battle last January.
Pls pray, ma'am. I will pray for you.

This is my concern. This is wild. I don't hope I don't have cancer. I cant figure out what my problem is. I went to my dentist and oral surgeon last week to be evaluated about my recent dark spot in my mouth that has appeared again after years. The oral surgeon offered me a biopsy, and he said it would cost over $1,000 with my insurance. I had so many health problems since 2008 when I graduated high school. As for the month and throat problem, the roof palate of my mouth turned dark brown/black in 2017 or 2018. I had a black doctor at the time. He told me nothing was wrong with my mouth and black people have darker gums. He ignored my symptoms. Months and years later, my tonsils have been completely swollen and they never went down. The back of my mouth is always red, and there are small lumps hidden below my tonsils. I did go to an otolaryngologist (ENT) last year. He looked and immediately said my tonsils need to be removed. I still think there is something more going on. I have also been dizziness with vertigo since February. I have a neurologist appointment on May 3. My mouth and throat has been red and swollen since 2017 or 2018. It looks hideous.
My mum had the same cancer , she fought very hard to fight it she did for a while , unfortunately she passed away one year after being diagnosed, I hope 🤞 that everything works well for you and all your treatments , god bless you 🙏🏼✨
I just subscribed because your story is an unusual one. I am so glad you are sharing this for others that need the support! Thank you!
thank you for sharing your story, it's so brave of you to do that and I can only imagine how strange it may have felt for you to be that person who "is doing all the right things" and then still ends up with a diagnosis like this. A close friend off mine is going through a similar situation and I can see him feeling really isolated being a young person with cancer. I've sent him your videos though, and think it will do some good. Keep up the great work and keep sharing!
thank you so much, so appreciate your feedback and I hope your friend is going to feel better every day, and of course get completely healthy again. :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your honesty and strength with your situation. It helps me.

@batonbeauty that's heartbreaking! Sending my condolences to her family and Friends. May her soul rest in peace ❤️
I appreciate your story! I know exactly what it was like being told you have anxiety only to find out differently and dramatically life changing. It’s both a relief and like hitting a brick wall all at once. Your story will help others and I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to hear it. There needs to be better prescreening, better gene testing, better monitoring, and most importantly better preventive care. Insurance companies don’t like to pay for preventive, they’d rather you be near death and have to pay very little. Hospitals won’t treat anything but emergencies. When you don’t have insurance you get nothing done and die from the lack of proper care and treatment. Doctors don’t like ordering tests because they assuming nothing is wrong, and eventually things never get better and require more testing. By that point it’s usually too late. Sometimes the body just doesn’t reveal itself, and could be the last minute before it finally comes to light. When you are suffering from secondary, a third, a fourth, and many other conditions, some may overlap and more hide the others. We need better preventive care that monitors our daily health. Technology, devices for home use used in screening etc. by now we sure have enough data to support better screening and detection methods.,
Am so sorry to hear about what you are going through..this video definitely helps people alot. I am praying for your speedy recovery hope you get better soon🙏 i am 100% sure this video will save many lives...thank you very much.
