I totally understand. I honestly had stage 3 cervical cancer in 2007 a month after having my son. They wanted me to do chemo but I fought threw it. Even though I was losing weight and my hair was falling out. I got threw it. I'm now 15 years cancer free. We will get threw it. No matter how hard things seem I believe this too shall pass. 🙏🏾
May GOD continue to bless you 🙏🏿💗
Good thing you survived cancer. Until your comment, I didn't know that '07 was 15 years ago because in my mind it seems like it was yesterday.
amen
Amen🙏🏾🤍
Hope you don't mind me asking but you experienced hair loss because of chemo. And i dont know you but i thank God that you are alive and well ❤
“Everything came back negative” this what I wanted to hear from the whole story. I felt relieved when you said that. Praise God! I hear your fear and frustration. Keep up the healthy lifestyle girl! God loves Josh enough to let him watch you with Cancer. I’m glad that you are fine, ISI.
"I don't need kids, I need you" Your fiancé is so supportive and I'm praying for your health. My mom went through some health issues with the C word and she's post transplant and doing well. She found out via colonoscopy and it was scary but I know God is on your side and you're strong, heathy and your conviction is the strongest weapon you have. Sending you so much blessings and health. ❤️❤️❤️
edit: you hitting 900k and getting negative results were a true blessing and a sign that God has you. ❤️
'I don't need kids, I need you' this broke me. I had to pause the video to fix my face. That's where I sobbed. Praying for your union, it is so special and I love how you love each other OUT LOUD 💕
Went through this a few years ago and it was so scary! That C&B procedure was no joke, honestly a little traumatizing. But prevention is always easier than curing, so happy you were proactive ❤️❤️ thank you for sharing!
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all ❤️🕊
I love this channel so much. She is such a strong woman. Everything is going to be okay. God is watching over you. Praying for peace of mind and joy for you ❤️
@cherrydoll Sorry girl I don’t support negativity only positivity. But you have a bless night. ❤️
Isi, I’m no where near spiritual nor have I ever cried for someone on the internet but you got me today! The relief I felt when you said everything came back negative was unreal. So thankful for your health!
Oh thank god 🙏🏾 I haven’t gotten through the video yet
Bro when i tell you my heart DROPPED

Please let this be a WARNING for all ladies out there to see please get YEARLY gyno check-ups. please do not slack on your health because you “feel” fine. Be proactive and vigilant for your own health! You’re your only advocate at that time!!! Love you Isi💜💜
What if you aren’t sexually active????
@@studeershtgoog5470 Great question! To answer, yes! It is still very imperative that you get yearly check ups…aside from sexually transmitted diseases, uterine cysts or tumors, infections like uti’s or yeast infections needs to be accounted for by a professional as well because it all comes at the cost or the benefit of your sugar walls! Stay vigilant ladies!!
@@armaniisaac3963 even if you're a virgin?
As a health care provider I appreciate you being open. Most black people don’t place value on routine checkups and wait until they have bad symptoms (usually by then too late) before being seen. Seeing a young black person stress the importance of routine checkups is amazing!!! I’m very happy that everything worked out and God has you and your family’s back for real
Going to the doctor every year is so important. I love my OBGYN, and when I asked what attributed the most to cervical cancer, she said it's when women (especially really busy women) stop showing up to their appointments. Cervical cancer is apparently a relatively slow growing cancer, so going in often enough for them to catch it early is important. I was completely healthy when I found out I had "pre cancerous cells" due to having HPV. Which is apparently SUPER common. Luckily it was caught when it was early before it developed into anything. And small correction: you are supposed to get papsmears as soon as you're sexually active. So if that's 16, 17, 18, that's when you need to get it.
It's only once a year ladies, just go get it done. Doesn't matter if you think nothing is wrong.
Once a year or once every three years depending on your results.
@@tcc2 no, you’re supposed to go to the ob/gyn every year but you only need a pap smear every 3 to 5 years if your previous pap is normal.
I went through this too. I had to get a colposcopy then cryotherapy to kill the abnormal cells and I’ve been fine since and I’m now back on the regular pap schedule. I hate going to the Dr but I just force going every year and pray about it. I also obsess over every little ache, pain headache. My mental health has definitely taken a toll.
I turn 18 in a few days but my obgyn said I have to be 21??? I’m confused
@@sxrie2127 You’re supposed to go whenever you become sexually active or turn 21 (I think the age used to be 18) whichever comes first. They changed a few things a few years ago. Like before we used to get Pap smears every year during your visit, but with hpv discoveries and testing, Pap smears that often are no longer needed.
This was very emotional man but so VERY needed. Your story needed to be told and sooo many others need to hear it. Many African American women overlook or “put off” important things concerning their health but it’s important for us to stay on top of it.
pap smears are so scary and painful tho i can never do it
Excatly I have to let my brother a lot of personal things as a female is emotionally he definitely put it off and don’t really care I have to push it through to him Bc I have no choose I feel like
@@ivory8492 even if they're painful and scary, a few minutes of discomfort are better than years of on and off treatments and uncertainty of 100% health. I agree though, its intimidating and embarassing but your existence is way more important. ❤️
@@ivory8492 If u can't handle a pap smear then u need not to be having sex, it feels the same except it's a cold tool going inside u for 1 min. They're not that bad unless u're dealing with an aggressive Dr. !!! IJS
@@aqueminiqueen7 i dont rlly know whats that like because im 15 but ive heard that they pinch your cervix did that happen to you?
I just made my first pap smear appt… Ever. Never underestimate what you do and the power your platform has. Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable with us 💜.

yes i'm about to make my first appt. too!
This video literally made me reevaluate everything and finally put my fear aside and book an appointment with a gynecologist. I’ve never had a pap smear done ever just life happened and you don’t really think about stuff like this until it’s too late. Soo all that to say thank you for this video! You’re beautiful inside and out and I wish nothing but the best for you 🤍☺️
I’m so glad it came back negative. I understand your fear and yes you had a right to be scared. I had the same fear when I got diagnosed with ovarian cancer but I believe in God and know now that my chemo is over when I get my ct scan it show that the cancer is gone! God is a healer and miracle worker. Keep trusting God❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾
Soo glad to hear that 🙏🏾🥺🤍
Lost my step last year due to this . Please don't ignore symptoms . Sending prayers
I'm so glad you're okay. This is definitely a wake-up call for me because I'm 24 and haven't been to the doctor in years either. It's something that I've been saying I need to do but kept pushing back. It's also great that you have such an amazing support system. Sending love.💚💚
Same I really need too!- I haven’t found good doctors yet!
Vaginal health is important!! Please go! 🙏🏽 sending you love and support!
So sorry to hear, I understand the feeling. Diagnosed with a pituitary tumor at 28.
I pray that you get fully healed / have already healed
Hey by any chance to you have Cushings
@@tekoahshear1785 I haven't been tested for that but I have recently looked into the symptoms. I am feeling weak and quite fatigued these days. Will test cortisol among other hormone levels soon.
@@DionneJourney would you mind telling me what symptoms you have been having in the past 3 years? I'm not trying to be nosey but I have some knowledge and experience on pituitary tumors
God bless may you go through all treatment 🙏
Hey hun, I went through the same thing in 2017, they took a small piece of my cervix and found stage zero cancer ….. I did a procedure to burn the area and surrounding area. I’m ok now I do my follow ups every year and I now have my 2 year old son.
♥️
God bless you! So glad everything worked out!
God bless u and ur beautiful baby 💙
God is good 🥲💕
🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I went through the exact same procedure except a few days after the cryotherapy, I fell Ill with septic shock. I never forget that I was going to go home and lay down because I just thought I was tired but the Holy Spirit told me to go to the emergency room. As soon as I walk through the door it all went downhill. Thank God I was coherent enough to tell the doctors the procedure I recently had. By that time I was getting worse minute by minute to the point that I couldn’t walk or even lift my head. They immediately check the area to find an infection that entered my bloodstream. I was administered antibiotics and transported to another hospital for possible emergency surgery. Thank God everything went well and I spent the week on round the clock antibiotics and learning to walk again.
Fast forward (5 years later) I didn’t think I have more children after experiencing that level of trauma down there. After a year of trying I am 4 months pregnant. I never cried so hard y’all. Just know that God is good and prayer works. Praying for everyone ❤️
Wow that was amazing testimony 🙏🙏🙏
Amen
Amen. Thank the Most High you are ok and have your blessing on the way. Continued health and blessings to you and your family.
I'm 28 & can relate to your story. I've had at least 3 colposcopy procedures along with 3 biopsies done due to having "abnormal cells" on my cervix due to hpv. I've had treatment to have the first set of abnormal cells removed and was instructed by the doctor to repeat a papsmear within a few months only to recently find out that I have another set of "abnormal cells" even though I had treatment done the first time. I'm currently awaiting my results from my last colposcopy procedure & I'm just hoping for the best. 🙏🏾It's good to hear that you're doing well & I'm glad that you were able to share your story to make others more aware. 🙌🏾💯
I hope you get good news
Thank you.
By HIS stripes you are healed and made whole in JESUS NAME. I pray that GOD strengthens and heal you and good news will be yours in JESUS NAME. Good luck !!!
I just prayed for you! Hoping for the best for you✨
Same sis luckily they froze them so now when I get my papsmear they don't see anything abnormal. I just hate they lost my biopsy results because that in itself was painful
Thank God for your healing and testimony ❤️ I got my first Pap smear in July 2021 at age 22 (I’m 23 now) where I found out I had high risk HPV, but due to my age and it’s early development they weren’t too concerned about it in the moment, so I understand and know the feeling too well of the shock and disappointment. I broke down for WEEKS. This is definitely an important topic that a lot of people, especially young people in their twenties need to hear and it is so much more common than most people think! You were not alone in your journey. I am so proud of you sharing your story Isi 🥰
I got my first pap smear at 21, they found a little bit of HPV and they said with better Care it might go away in a year or 2. I went again for my follow up but they could not determine a result because of something( I don’t know how to explain it properly) but the doctor said I should come back again and he told me I can still get the vaccine in the main time. Since I was taking the vaccine late in life I had to take 3 dose of it to be fully vaccinated. It has been 8 months and I have not had my follow up Pap smear, for some reason I am very scared. But I will summon the courage to check my progress. Good luck to you I pray it all gets better.
@@soblessed3157 Thank you ❤️ Prayers and good luck to you sister with your results as well! I was told similarly to still get the Gardasil-9 three dose vaccine just like you, which I just got my last dose this month on the 1st. So all we can do is pray and stay healthy as we wait with close monitoring 🙏🏽
Last year I had high risk hpv went back again this year and got the all clear they didn’t find anything! God will come thru 🙏🙏
@@Zipporahwalker2107 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 congratulations sis I am happy for you. God came through indeed!!!
@@soblessed3157 thank youu💕
I needed to hear this, thanks Isi. At 21/22 I found lumps in my breasts and the doctors were shocked since im so young. I had a biopsy and they were benign. It hit me that health is wealth. Health is everything. I still have trauma from it and the lumps are still there; benign but still there. Things like this in life is what make our joyous moments so special.
Same thing happened to me. One of the scariest in my life. Thank you for commenting, I don’t feel so alone.
@@SincerelyKAJ 💓💓💓
Yes health is definitely a blessing!
I am a breast cancer survivor of 22
years, it definitely puts everything in perspective!
during vlogmas, when you and Josh were talking about a health scare, my mind went here to cancer, i really love you guys and i x'd that idea.. I pray God grats you healing, mentally, physicallly, spiritually, everyally. Just started watching the video praying for you and the people you love
A high school classmate passed away in her early 20s from cancer
She was so outgoing and full of life
It’s important for us to prioritize our health
I’m 41 and I love you. I appreciate your testimony as I recently had a hysterectomy because of a life scare. God is real and He will get the glory out of our lives. Continue to take care and I will be praying for you and Josh.
Praying for you, my mom had cervical cancer but she beat it.
Thank you so much for your testimony sis! I contemplated even commenting because 1. I’m emotional and 2. This is a very personal topic but I went through an almost identical situation JUST a week before you. I got my news of “all clear” on February 15th while you had just gotten your bad news. Honestly I am just completely overwhelmed with the likelihood of someone sharing my experience. From the running to Google, to preparing for the cancer fight, to mourning the possibility of losing my chance at motherhood, to the random moments of kindness from loved ones that break you down in gratefulness, to the complete clarity in realizing that the only way through this is full faith in God. I would pray and affirm everyday “my body will heal, and I will carry babies” until I got that news. The day the doctor called me and told me I was clear I fell to my knees, shaking, calling to God. I will never forget that moment. Thank you so so so so much again, and know that this matters. Your voice matters, your experience matters, and you are making a difference with your platform. I pray you have continued health and blessings (and a bunch of beautiful babies whenever you guys are ready) sis! Much love. ❤️
P.S. I love the SaltXO Hydra Mask toooooo! 💖
Honestly your 20s are the toughest part of your life! No one tell you. I’m 29 and just figured out what I want to do and the route I wanna go. I found confidence let a toxic relationship go. 2022 is about me. I’m happy for you!
So true my 20s has been brutal but I’ve grown so much, I’m 26. And also just figured out what I want to do in life
Wow I'm glad you shared this I went through the same emotions you went through when I found out I had Colerectal Cancer at 49 .I found out through a Colonscopy it was stage 3 I had chemo and radiation .I thank God that he led me through .without him I know I wouldn't have seen my 53 birthday. Thank for sharing this.i teared up.
I am a Cervical Cancer patient/ survivor... its not a game. My whole life has changed since I've been diagnosed.. Trying to find my new self is super hard from all of the down falls from having Chemotherapy and Radiation and hair loss.. life has definitely changed especially mentally. I am not the same mentally anymore... I'm still working on me. If you need anyone to talk to please don't hesitate to hit me up..I am a youtuber also.. I know it's so much better to hear from some one who has actually been through this.. Trust me I know how it feels 😌 sending my love 🥰
I had some cancer cells grow on my uterus when I was around 21. I too, had to have a biopsy and it's very painful. they literally have to scrape a piece of skin off of your uterus. it feels like very intense cramps.
I ended up having to get the cryotherapy procedure (the use of freezing oxygen to freeze the cells off my uterus.) I had to be wheeled out to the car in a wheelchair with my friend helping me. I'll literally never forget that experience, it was TOUGH.
I'm 32 going on 33 now. so glad you're ok Isi. and thank you for sharing this with us. we love you!!! let this be a wake-up call to prioritize your health over everything else!! ❤️🙏
I hope you’re okay now as well!
@@bbbryne893 I am thank you! 🥺❤️

@@mikelowry2865 my goodness! and I thought the cryotherapy was traumatizing enough 😒 sorry you went through that. we truly never forget these kindd of experiences man. and congratulations on your pregnancy babe. wishing you a beautiful pregnancy and delivery!!! ✨❤️
Man I'm glad my experience wasn't that bad sounds horrible. I remember the biopsy felt like strong cramps then the freezing was just weird I drove myself home both times afterwards. But of course I've had a baby before this so I feel like no pain I've ever felt in my body is worse than contractions.
Amen to that testimony!
Amen to a great almost hubby!
Amen to your future kids (bc there will be)!
Periodt to your team!
You had my eyeballs sweating a FEW times!
But thank God you are A ok!❤️🌹
I am so happy that you have that great news. I wish I would've caught mines early. I had to have a colposcopy biopsy. Then, a partial hysterectomy. This was right after having my last baby. I cried everyday. I should've had a little more faith at the time, but I was more scared than ever. My partner at that time left the day we found out I had to have surgery and be out of work for 2 months. Left me with all the bills and my kids.
Then, I just found out that I have a growing cyst on my ovary 😢🙏🏽
Please, pray for me!
The relief I felt when I heard “everything came back negative” oh my gosh thank god.
Yesss, God is so good 🥺🙏
Wow, I didn’t know that your father had SCA. My uncle passed last year on New Years Eve and he also had SCA. All of my relatives have the trait and so do I and after losing my uncle, I wanna spread more awareness about SCA and how it isn’t prioritized like other illnesses. But Isi, everything will be alright. I have faith. 🙏🏾❤️
I definitely had a Pap smear recently my first one and my doctor called me days later saying I had abnormal cells as well. So I just got the colposcopy( which was scary b/c of the extremely LONG clamps they use) more like 2 weeks ago and still waiting for my results. I’m nervous but I trust that I’m fine. I feel you, the processes is nerve racking and I pray everything will be fine with you! 💕
Also I’m so glad you shared this! Women need to hear stories like this!
Okay update. I called today and everything came back negative. I’m also cleared thank God. I can breathe
I’m so pleased for you!!! Praise God 💕
🙏🏽💕
I just got abnormal results back. I'm waiting to see an OBGYN. I'm so scared. Your story has given me some hope. Thank you! And I hope you are doing great!
hello when you do a colonscopy get you be fully awake or they put you to sleep please
She doesn't have cancer. I watched it
Thank you! Because I didn't finish watching yet and was freaking out!
I literally started crying when you said everything came back negative. Tears of joy that you're okay. Thank you for this video. It's a wake-up call that I need to start taking my health seriously and get doctors appointments as well just to know where I'm at.
Im so glad that you shared this with us. I will say... never ever... go that long without seeing a doctor ever again. I am someone who goes to the doctor RELIGIOUSLY every 6 months. I hope you dont think that this is your fault because this is not by any mean. Everything happens for a reason though. I am someone who suffers from an ovarian condition so I do sympathize with you. I am going to keep you in prayer but best believe you've got the support system you NEED to make it through anything Isi
I've been putting off getting my exam. As scary as it is, I'm going to try to schedule mine soon. Thank you for your transparency.
I'm so proud of you for opening up about your experience! It's so daunting and we, as women, especially in the black community, don't tend to discuss anything that has to do with our reproductive and sexual health. This is the focus of my PhD research, using new technologies to screen and treat cervical cancer. I'm so glad you are healthy. This experience is a reminder that we need to take care of our health, no matter what! I wish you all healthy joyful lives. We only have one life! Be happy, healthy and live it to the fullest! Sending you all love!
I can see how emotional you got even from reliving the moment you received those unpleasant news but you’re a very strong young lady, and open, and honest.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 🙏🏽
Ladies and gentlemen, our health is so important. I have always been told to do paps every year. We as humans are not perfect; we make mistakes we forget things, and it's okay. Even if you think things are okay, it's still okay to put your health 1st.
Very important topic. There's an HPV vaccine given in childhood, and up to age 26 (or older in some cases) for females & males that's suppose to help against HPV. Glad you're speaking on check-ups, and not ignoring concerns. Also, glad all is well! God is amazing! 🙌🏾
It's actually been updated to 30 years of age. I hadn't gotten it in time for the 26 year deadline but they JUST recently extended it and was able to bet it before I turned 30.
No on understands the love I have now for isi she really gives the best advice and tips for the subscribers and she’s even gave me words on inspiration privately once!! Nd I’m such an emotional person so I literally geared up this WHOLE video
Thank you Jesus for covering Isi during this journey, and for always getting her through.. she is a light, we need her. We love you, Isi! Xoxo
Thank you Isimeme for your testimony I experienced this at the age 15 and after they froze my uterus and a year later, I was pregnant! You have helped more people than you know. God has a way of getting your attention and like you said your relationship with God is better. God wants all of us to serve him and he loves us. Blessings and I ❤ your channel.
Freak Mannn ! I’m over here fighting back tears throughout this whole video . You are so brave to be this vulnerable and open with your life . I’m definitely keeping you lifted in prayer and thank God for everyone in your corner 🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕💕
Only two seconds in watching and I already hear the hurt in your tone and can sense the seriousness 🥺❤️ sending love and prayers sis.
Halfway in thoughts: Sometimes God forces us to calm down. God will ALWAYS make His presence known and reassure you that you’re on the right path with the right people (or not)!
Same
I pray you’re ok emotionally, mentally, everything. I went through something similar with a pituitary tumor. Keep praying, thank God daily. This made me cry. I wanna say so much more but overall man I love God even when everything seems like it’s falling apart he’ll come through and show you, you’re in his hands.
I’ve been thinking about going to the doctor for years, but not having a family doctor is what stopped me. This video genuinely got me to call up some people to finally seek out a doctor so that I can get a check up and a pap smear. Thank you❤️ and I’m so glad you are doing okay 💕
God will always see you through love. I was diagnosed a year ago with breast cancer and here I am with a testimony of healing!
Girl god used this experience to strengthen your relationship with him as well as to use it as a testimony for people who need to hear the gospel. Ur right god does work in mysterious ways. This was so inspiring. It inspired me to want to get back on track in my spiritual journey. I always loved your content but the last couple videos when you did the little segment about how you’re gonna have a devotional I though yes she’s my people. Beauty gang for life
Blessings to you and everyone else that is part of Isi’s channel. I am older than probably most of you and have always been someone who makes it her business to visit the doctor regularly. Life is a blessing 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 and the body you were given by God is the ONLY one you have - take care of it regardless of your chronological age. Sometimes when we are young, we think 🤔 we are invincible, but illness (regardless of type) can happen to anyone at anytime. As someone diagnosed with the BRCA2+ gene 🧬 - I stay at regular doctor appointments yearly. Make sure you get your regular check-ups and even when you feel healthy - get regular check-ups. They can literally save your life!! Be Blessed y’all!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 #WONTHEDOIT #GODISLOVE
Yes, to have a man that is not only around you for benefits or sex it's an indescribable feeling. Real love is gentle. He's willing to go through the obstacles with you and your pain is his pain. Glad to know you feel safe and that's a feeling that not every get to experience. Wishing you peace, health, and healing.
I know that must've been scary. Juggling thoughts, and what made me freeze is putting myself in your shoes and imagining if you needed chemo... Natural hair would've been out the window. It's all okay now, everything is clear and there's no need to worry, but keep getting your check ups, although I'm sure you've had enough of a wake-up call to know that... We love you.
My heart fell straight to the floor with this title 🥺🥺
I'm so sorry you had to go through that huni. I was also told the same thing at 22. That shook my world. It didn't sit well with my spirit, so I got rechecked, and it was only a build up cells that looked cancerous. Got them checked, they weren't, and all I needed was a procedure called a Cone. Near 40, and never heard anything about cc again.
Girl you suppose to get a physical check up once a year…keep that in mind and don’t skip a year
I’ll keep that in mind too because my gynecologist told me that you only need to come every 3 years unless you’re on birth control or have diseases in your family
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 yeah family history play’s a role in how much times you have to get certain work done. I be so paranoid any little pain my ass is at the doctor.
@@Teannawoods_ same here. I stay at the doctors, but I do need to do full body checkups.
@@bbbryne893 get them done hun very important ❤️
nah this really inspired me to get my ass to the doctors/dentist/ob gyn/etc. 🤣 i dead been slacking on making my appointments .. but on a serious note ik this took ALOT to record for us and i just thank you and God for being oh so transparent ! Isi you have no idea how much you have touch our lives today and will further do. I pray you continue to have a healthy life and be guarded by heavenly angels because gurl you are indeed heaven sent ❤️❤️!!!!!
Girrllllllll don’t say thatttttt😩😩😩I honestly just read the title haven’t watched the video yet, I’m scared 😩😩😩😭😭
I ain't been to the eye doctor since high school, had an appt back in October. Ain't been to the dentist since my braces came off in 2018 😩 ain't been to the doctor since summer 2018 I believe 🥴 and that's when I got my first pap smear. I was alone and it was the scariest thing ever 😭 finna make me an appointment in the morning bc I just turned 26 so I am now in my late 20s as well. Thank you for this message Isi ❤️
You are in my prayers beautiful. As women, we supposed to get a Pap Smear yearly. With myself, I get it every 3 years because I had my uterus removed after having my daughter almost 10 years. It is best for any of us to keep track on our health no matter what.
Med student here. If you aren’t high risk (immunocompromised or HIV positive) you only have to get a Pap smear every 3 years if you are less than 30 and every 5 years if you are 30+.
@@fuchadancer94 I don't recommend that for women these days because you never know if something is wrong especially if you are sexually active. Sometimes symptoms are not noticeable.
@@fuchadancer94 With all due respect... the medical community when it comes to women's health especially black women are very passive. Every woman should get checked out yearly . It is very disturbing for the medical community to knowing push non self care.
Girl it’s a Miracle and they do still exist. Your testimony made me cry…awwwww I’m so happy for you love and your blessed with what’s needed in your life. 🥰🥰🥰 much love !
Lord I only read the title but my heart dropped. This world is so cruel to kind people 😔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It’s a joy to know you have strong support system that will hold you up in times of celebration and in times a struggle. Such a blessing. Glad to hear everything came back negative and you are still pushing yourself to be a better you inside and out.
I’m still watching but girl I’ve been there . I found out I have endometrial hyperplasia without atipia aka I have pre cancerous cells on the lining of my uterus. I had that same procedure done . I went alone when I got the news. I broke down. Lean on God he’ll give you the strength and healing you need .
Not gonna lie, your caption had me shook!..And I appreciate you for uploading this video because it's important for women to get screened for Cancer! As women, our bodies go through a lot and these things are inevitable! I know you're going to get through this, your support system is amazing! Thanks to you, I'm working on scheduling a doctor's appointment right away!..I kept putting my doctor's appointment aside due to work and everything else but I am going to schedule an appointment ASAP! You're an amazing women and I know you'll get through this no matter what! Your supporters aren't going anywhere, take care of yourself first! God bless!🙏
Ladies it’s so important to go to your primary, obgyn and dentist every year. If you don’t have insurance try finding places that does women health screening for free. Isi this hit home and imagine going through this by yourself 😮💨😢🙏🏾. You definitely help/in courage someone with your testimony ❤️ Bless your Dr that they cared enough especially a Black Woman 👏🏾
When I tell you I’ve cried like you were one of my best friends. God is definitely using you and your story for greater good. Continue being authentically YOU! Thank you for sharing and for being so vulnerable on your channel. Your positivity, faith, and confidence has definitely motivated me. ❤️
PRAISE GOD 🙌🏾 I am 31 years old and thank you for your transparency and encouraging paying more attention to health. This is sooooooo important especially for us as African American women because we are less likely to seek medical care routinely.
I’m praying for you!! I get my first one in a couple of months! I’m a little scared because it runs on both sides of my family! God is on our side though! I’ll keep you in my prayers!! Love you Isi!❤️
I completely identify with this. I was 22 when they did my papsmear and the results came back abnormal, the feeling you get hearing that you instantly think cancer, im going to have cancer at 22?!! Thankfully my biopsy came back normal, but I am praying for you and Josh both because it is such a hard thing to hear and deal with. The waiting and waiting is so crazy, such a mind game. Please take care of your health ladies!!!❤❤
You can’t possibly know how much you touched me with this story. I recently found your channel while researching to begin my own self care routines. I never took into consideration my health as a part of self care. I also have a family members that have cervical, ovarian and breast cancer. Also the part about knowing you found your person hit home for me. You had me over here in tears. I feel like I really connected with you on that level. Keep up the good work and congratulations on the 900K 👏
I've had the same procedure and know that feeling. May God continue to surround your life and your loved ones. Sending love and continuous success to you ! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
So grateful your ok. I had this scare myself young as ever and I was alone. Sending you lots of lots so powerful to put this on the internet!
I hope your doing okay. Know that you are not alone and if you want, turn to God because He loves you. A relationship with Jesus/God is the best relationship one can have. God bless you!
Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life. My first pap happened when I was 26 and my notification for BV didn't hit until 5 months later. Even though that's a small thing, I was already emotional because my dermatologist told me that it might be possible that I had PCOS. It's been a world changer and even though all of the "tests" and examinations came back negative for PCOS, it led me to finding out about a cyst on my ovaries that the pap didn't catch... This video is so important because for people who have been told or feel that they are healthy for so long, they write off any possibility that anything could be going on with their health. It's very important to go to the doctor.
How do you test for PCOS?
@@mizzmiami3242 Honestly, I still don't know. Testing and being examined are apparently the wrong terminology to use. That's why I put it in quotation marks. The doctors and nurses made sure to tell me that even though they were vague about everything else. They also never helped me with a more accurate description of what was going on. I had a few ultrasounds and they did blood work. They later told me that I had no apparent signs of PCOS. I was also told that I'm too young and "thin" for it to be a major concern. The only ground I had to stand on was my late period and my reference from my derm because of my testosterone levels that apparently weren't high enough by the time they checked. I told them I had been on hormones by that point and to review the levels from when I had lab work done at the derm. But, they were too lazy to pull them
This put things in perspective for me I'm 21 will be 22 in June and I haven't had a general checks up idk how long I think the last time I had a blood test was when I was 16 i never had sex so because of it I never went to a gynecologist but lately I have been thinking about it because of some infos I learn and just wanting to check up on my health and you and Josh was the inspiration and eye opener so thank you so so much💜🙌
Same situation with me just turned 21 about to book mine
Great thinking, keep up the good work and hopefully all goes well with your appointment
It's all very scary, I had ASCUS for two straight years. Luckily, my last pap came back normal, but I'm still nervous every time I need an exam. It's like I still don't feel like I'm out of the woods yet. I will keep you in my prayers!
Not my eyes sweating , glad you’re ok! I also had to have a biopsy due to HPV and I completely changed my eating habits and mindset. 6 years later and I’m still in the clear. I love my gyn, we are besties (well in my head 😅)🥰
I am glad you shared your testimony, I’m almost positive that it’s going to help someone watching it. So glad to hear everything came out ok with you and that Josh and your mom was right there with you throughout storm. God is good all the time. 🙏🏽
Baby girl you’re in my prayers 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Wow Isi! I went through something like this earlier in the year. I was having irregular periods which was normal for me being that I have PCOS but this time was different. I had to have multiple appointments and blood work and sonograms. I’ve never been so afraid! Luckily everything checked out fine but emotionally I was done for. I’m so glad that you have Josh and such a great support system!
The kids deal really hits home for me. I’m 31 and more than anything I would love to have kids but with PCOS it’s a possibility I can’t. I’m remaining hopeful 💜
Isi watching this video I have chills all over my body! At the age of 23 I have cyst on my ovaries every now and again (no clue as to why) saying that to say we are Gods children and I’m so happy you shared this moment with us! ❤️
You’re in my prayers! I have Sickle Cell Disease as well and it’s horrible 🤦🏽♀️
I'm so glad your results were negative! I really am glad your doctors cared enough to be sure. So many doctors don't take that time.
I had issues in February as well because my birth control shot had me on my cycle for almost 12 weeks and didn't show signs of stopping. I had to get a vaginal ultrasound to make sure my uterus was fine and it was. But going through it alone was not fun. And it was my birthday 🥴. But like you I was playing and hadn't been to the doctor since I was 21 and I was 28 when I went back. Won't catch me slipping again! I'm 29 now so I have to be on top of it.
Thanks for sharing!!
Glad you’re ok Isi😊 glad the test was negative. What did they say the overgrown cells were?
My heart skipped a beat 😭😭😭😭 ilysmmmm 💋💋 hope you’re okay
I’m glad you praise in the middle of your troubles. Always continue to praise. His mercies endureth forever.
Thank you for being so open and trusting with us to share your experience. Our experiences are different, but I did have a similar experience where they found abnormal cells and I actually had to get a LEEP procedure done to remove those cells. It is extremely uncomfortable, scary and overwhelming. As women there’s so much we experience and have to worry about. I’m glad you’re okay and keeping the faith! You got this sis 💕💕💕
Wow thank you for sharing this video! This takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to share, and this really struck a cord. I’m a 26 year old woman just putting a doctors check up on my to do list and saw this. God is good, thank you for living in your truth it strengthens us all! ❤️ I teared up watching this, and I’m so glad you are healthy.
AWWWWWWH ISI,thanks for sharing. I had that scare and that news myself at 26,I was pregnant with my daughter and its very overwhelming waiting for the results. Thank God it turned out not to be that, and I pray for the same for you! You got me over here holding tears back.
Fruits bared by the team that is now backing Miss. Isimeme 3.0 is showing. Damn near replaying the intro alone. Love the quality babe
i’m now watching, I hope you’re okay!!
Stay strong love.
God is able and capable, he will see you through.
The steps of a righteous man are ordered by him. 🙏🏽
I feel like this transparency is a great way for Isi to process her feelings and be in tune with them. I’m really glad she’s okay❤️
ISI, thank you so much for your transparency what you experienced. When you said that you made this for someone out there who has been neglecting their internal, that’s me. After an abusive relationship, I started to not care about myself as much. Missing out on taking vitamins, not eating, not drinking water, and not exercising. This video was the push I needed to get back to taking my health seriously regardless of how I’m feeling overall. I have been experiencing severe lethargy and I’ve been pushing back signing the papers to get Medicaid and have things looked at after my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer this year. This is a maternal trend that scares me but I’d rather know sooner rather than later. Thank you again for encouraging us to take our health seriously even if we fell off. I am 29 this year and you are right, I am not the same as the younger version of myself. Time to get back to loving on me internally and externally
Yes, please take care of yourself
! I am a breast cancer survivor of 22 years, God gives us one body to take care of.
Being a survivor definitely puts things into perspective!
I am so sorry for your abuse experience, but thank God that you are a survivor!
So I had a Pap smear this year after not going for 5-7 years and they found abnormal cells and said to come back in three years 😣 only thing I can do is be prayerful and hopeful that it turns out okay when I go back.
Hi love! I would definitely get a second opinion on that. Pap smears are supposed to be done once a year especially if your cells are abnormal. That can mean you potentially can have HPV and if left untreated it can get so much worse over a 3 year span. Hope all is well ❤️
@@niccid5922 +1 to what Nicci D shared @denedra Vincent . Usually if you have abnormal cells or ASCUS docs would do a colposcopy. Please consider getting a second opinion love. Many people don’t know this but I believe at least in the u.s., insurance companies (most) cover these pap smears EVERY Year 100% as a preventative measure and help with early detection of any related issues. Lifting everyone up that has gone through this.
@@niccid5922 6 months for abnormalities and 1 year normal Pap smears
I’m not a big angel number girl because i feel like it takes away from giving God ALL glory. But it definitely spoke to your situation. Praise God! Like you said He will give you a situation that makes you lean on Him and I pray that you continue to do so even when you know everything is good. Love you Isi! 🤍
Praise God!!!!!!! I am so glad you are okay. And yes God has his hands on you, he will not take his hands off of you. Thank you for sharing this because I have been afraid to get a pap smear because of the fear of there being a problem, but now I know I need to get this done. I pray that you and Josh continue to have a good health!The Lord does work in mysterious ways, He was also teaching you like hey the people surrounding you are good for you!
