    It infuriates me how careless hospitals and doctors can be with a human life…the fact that it took them so long to take your symptoms seriously is inexcusable. And this is not an isolated incident..there are so many young people going through similar experiences. It is heartbreaking.

      I believe it’s because of population control. It is very sickening and heart-breaking at the same time because the elites do not care about the who, how, or why they just do not want so many people on this planet and some of us suffer so much because of it! Thx. For sharing.

    If I can stop crying long enough, I do have something to say! First of all, Andrea, you are such a pure, kind, and loving spirit even as you have to walk through this hell that you have been thrown into. Also, as I read the other comments below, I see that there are many, many others who have somehow been sent to love you and with their words will uphold you. When I was 24, and with a 2year old and a newborn, I found out I had cervical cancer. I was told that I had to have a hysterectomy immediately. Two weeks later I did just that. I went on with my life and never gave cancer another thought. Then, in 2006, when my daughter was just 28years, one month, and seven days, she passed away from what started out as cervical cancer. Over a year it had spread to every organ except her heart and her brain. When the doctor told me I thought I was going to have a stroke! She asked for her brother to stay at her side for the her last several months. He was 26 at the time but he never left her side! Please, ALL of you, forgive me for carrying on like this! How selfish. I just wanted to tell you, Andrea, that I will pray for you every day, and think of you oh so often. I will also pray for your family, as well. May God be by your side and begin to bring miracles into your life. God bless all of you who have come to show your precious love and support.

    Hey girl. I was diagnosed in March of 2020 with gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinoma. I had 4 rounds of chemo (FLOT), followed by a total gastrectomy in June, and then 4 more rounds of chemo. Treatment ended in October of 2020. I have started my third year with no evidence of disease. It was a tough year, but I made it through. You got this!

I was declared dead at the scene of a motorcycle accident, went into a four day coma. Again 30 years ago. Played Russian roulette with a live round 40 years ago. I could go on and on and on. I’m 75 now. Not going to live forever but darn sure not listening to anyone else about my life. Keep living the life you’ve chosen for yourself. Be aware of any bad habits you may have and stop them.

    I’m so sorry for your story. I’m currently having 5-10 loose stools, had golf ball size blood clots with no stool. Had upper and lower scopes past 3 years.. drs say, “oh must’ve been a hemorrhoid and cleared up”and sent me home. I have had hemoglobin of 5 and had to be admitted twice for low hemoglobin and gotten blood transfusions. They told me it’s bc I am anemic, and have never tested cancer bio markers. Now I’m scared after seeing stories like mine on the channel- “the patient stories”. I pray for you and your family you will make it through and stay strong and hopeful. I also pray the same for myself as a young mom of a 5 yr old girl. I wish the drs would just test the blood and take symptoms seriously at least to rule out serious illness- bc they also said mine was an ulcer, etc.

      Thank God your cancer has been caught early! I thank God you tube recommended your story to me. Cancers are more survivable now unlike back in the day. Future treatments are on the horizon for a lot of cancers. I might make a recommendation to you...have your Dr make a referral for a hospice consultation. Hospice is widely known for end of life care. But what is not known is they can help you with many problems associated with cancer like pain control...nausea treatment...plus they are a pathway for other medical professionals and pastors to assist you in your battle. I will pray for you young lady and please keep us informed! Praying for you!

He said I shouldn’t be walking or even lifting 5 lbs bc i had a fracture in my spine. I asked how? (I had been having lower back pain after my last baby just born). I had just picked up my children from Daycare & lifted my 2 yo son & my baby girl in the heavy car seat. It hurt A-LOT but I didn’t think much else.
      Turns out after all was said & done, I was diagnosed w both SLE (systemic Lupus) & Ankylosing Spondylitis plus RA. It took so many diff meds, so much pain… my husb divorced me & left our children for his secretary & HER kids (I will never understand this 😞😣😪.. especially for our kids).

    I'm so sorry for what you've gone through. No one should have to go through that. It took almost 3 years for me to get diagnosed with bladder cancer as three doctors passed off my symptoms as I was too young and didn't fit the "typical" criteria. While my experience wasn't pleasant, I didn't experience anything as horrible as you. Sending you my thoughts and prayers for your cancer journey. Your story makes me a bit nervous as I just found out I have autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis which increases gastric cancer risk three fold. My paternal grandfather passed away of gastric cancer, so there is a part of me that is a bit anxious about it. I've had some issues - chronic diarrhea for four months, intermittent dysphagia, heartburn, bloating, flushing, feeling full quickly, and intermittent nausea when eating. I have had five iron infusions over the past year and a half due to anemia and get B12 shots biweekly. My endoscopy a month ago didn't show any polyps, tumors, or cancer cells, but I do worry a little that maybe something was missed. I don't want to go through another cancer experience as I still have a year left of chemo for my bladder cancer.

Although I do not know you personally, I will say some prayers for you in hopes that our Heavenly Father will hear my prayers & send you a miracle to remove all that cancer from your body!! I hope & pray you heal soon & completely & that you never have to experience this again!! Sending you love & light…God bless you🙏🏼🙏🏼💕✝️

All these patients were on Chemotherapy along with alternative such as fasting from food for days to reset and heal the body and going on a keto diet. This type of diet is called an autophagy. Sugar fuels cancer cells and they need it to strive and survive. If you cut out the sugar from your diet and take on this autophagy lifestyle you significantly increase your fighting chance of beating this thing. I pray in Jesus Name healing for your body, and also for your soul. Please, try this diet and get to know the Lord.

    My diagnosis was going in after passing out at a work function. My blood levels was low too, so kept passing out. Was given meds, sent home. Not even a week I projectile vomited everywhere, passed out, back to hospital. Lost 8 bags of blood from vomiting and bowel bleeding. Told "just anxiety". I refused to leave this time. Eventually diagnosed with stage 3 stomach cancer. (Most women are told anxiety and NOT diagnosed for stomach until stage 3 or 4). Found blood clots on my lungs EVENTUALLY as the original scan reader missed that too. My only real symptoms before the hospital trip was no hunger and full early which I ignored both as I was so busy overworking I didn't notice how little I was consuming.

    Good morning, Andrea, hope you're doing well and tysm for sharing your story. I too was diagnosed of Gastric cancer stage 4 on Feb/2022, on chemo treatment, but every now and then my neutrophils gets too low that I skip chemo. True that when you're told you have cancer, means it's a death sentence of your life and I acknowledge it. As a cancer patient I avoid GMO/bioengineering processed food and eat only Organic foods. I was taking Pantoprazole meds>( acid control ) for almost one year, then I stop. To reduce my gastric acid I eat banana, melons [ honey dew-cantaloupe-water melon], apples, pears and coconut. Due to my gastric acid (myself only ) I do not consume, Orange juice or fruit, lime, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple and tomatoes. Because of my acid reflux I have to avoid certain foods like mint, fatty foods, spicy food, onions, garlic, coffee, tea, chacolate and alcohol. Am now 72 and my PET scan tells me that my cancer elevated from 7 to 9, meaning cancer is growing but I'll keep on thriving I want to go on living, life is precious to give up, hell no to cancer. ❤💓😘

Following that I had started hormone treatment that I will take for 5 years. I had an MRI December 7th, 2022 and received a letter a week later stating that the results were negative of any cancer in both breasts.
    I never felt so happy in my life. I just need an mammogram or MRI every 6 months for the following 3 years. After that I will have a regular mammogram every year.

      @@snowybuny You should get a colonoscopy at any sign of bleeding. That was my only symptom. It was a polyp that would bleed occasionally. I waited so long that it was turning to cancerous cells. They remove your polyps during the colonoscopy. If you don't have the money you can get medicaid. The gastro center will also give you a payment plan. You can apply for a grant too ask the center for the application for a grant from the cancer centers that what it's for. Good luck.

      @@snowybuny oh wow Cynthia I'm sorry to hear that. Well the next best thing is that you can heal yourself with food. What you eat and what you don't eat will cure you. I ate "chris beats cancer" green leafy salad every day. Please read "the starch solution" by Dr macdougal. Dr Furhman is also a good one. Dr sebis diet. And of course, the medical medium. Those doctors will give you s diet that will keep you healthy and squeeze out any cancer cells. Fasting also starves out cancer cells. You could look into juice fasting for healing g as well.

    I am so glad that you kept trying to find answers. When we hear those little voices in our heads saying that something is wrong, we need to listen. That is God talking to us. I know that you are going to be ok. Cancer is not an automatic death sentence these days. God will heal you in Jesus name. You are a strong young woman and I believe that God has something special in mind for you and your future. Keep praying and do not allow those negative thoughts to take over. You can do this!

Also sending prayers to anyone else who has dealt with this terrible disease or is currently dealing with it ! 🙏🏽it’s crazy how I continue to hear stories about doctors brushing off things because I they feel is nothing major, where the person then ends up being diagnosed with cancer.

In 2020 & in her 70's she was diagnosed with vaginal cancer. She kicked Cancer's butt both times & I have faith you'll do the same. I'm also glad you were on top of seeking medical help when you noticed signs of not being well.
    On a side note, my girlfriend also had a cancer scare. My mom had told me there's a saint that's specialized in trying to cure cancer. I sent my girlfriend 2 religious coins. One of them being Saint peregrine (the saint of cancer). After test results she was given the good news that she was cancer free.

    Thank you for sharing ❤️ As time has gone by I find you have to advocate for yourself and your loved ones. Push for answers if you feel something isn't right. Its ok to push to have tests, push for information, push for results. You aren't being demanding you're being practical. Even with the best doctors they are overwhelmed with their day to day stuff. You know you (or yours) better than anyone. Push for the help you need. If its ok, then its ok, its still ok to make yourself a priority.

Its a daily thing now to have to pay attention to things and conditions my body feels. I had to go thru a similar situation in 2020 as well! While I wasn't having a lot of blood in my stool. I struggle with eating, bloating, fatigue, dizziness and so on! I lost 18 pounds in 3 weeks! Thought I had cancer for real! They did a upper and lower like you! Took out non cancerous polyps and also discovered I had diverticulitis as well! Its been a journey since but at least I know and I try to take my meds and eat accordingly best I can and get exercise! I live normal other than that. I do intermittent fasting as my way to eat most of the time which keeps me healthy snd functioning for the most parr.
