3x cancer survivor here... cervical cancer, skin cancer and lastly lung cancer and im here still
❤God bless you

What a warrior!
❤ Glory to god
I had hpv when I became pregnant. The doctor told me I had to have an abortion. I was more afraid to abort than to have my baby. 16 years later we’re both still alive, my baby and I. Doctors don’t always know.
Why would they suggest you needed an abortion?
Wtf
Hpv is NO reason to have an Abortion. That Dr. Should lose their license
Turkey tail mushroom is good for hpv control
I would not aboard it no matter what but god is good
I had Cervical Cancer at 28 years old and I had two kids already. I ended up a partial Hysterectomy., I had the same Cancer you had. I'm a Cancer Survivor. Glad you doing good.😊😊😊😊😊
*MR OBALAR* ON UA-cam CURED ME COMPLETELY ❤.
I had cervical cancer, but it wasnt found ùntil i had a 5-yr follow up colonoscopy, as i had polyps with my last colonoscopy. They found a tumor in my rectum that had originated in my vagina. It was stagwd as T4-a. That means there was local lymph node involvement. I had 4 weeks (5 days per week) with 4 weeks of chemo(1 time a week). I then went through brachytherapy. I had to have a colostomy due to the fear of a fistula forming between my vagina and rectum. Fortunately, the colostomy was reversed, as no fistula formed. The brachytherapy was successful, and now I'm cancer free. Its been 3 yrs. I suspect it was because i had HPV when i was younger. I was never afraid i would die. God is good!
*MR OBALAR* ON UA-cam CURED ME COMPLETELY ❤.
At age 40 i had a total abdominal hysterectomy due to early diagnosed cervical cancer. I had recently remarried and was trying to have a baby. My doctor told me it was more important for me to be here for the children i already had with my 1st husband. So i chose the surgery and did not need chemo or radiation. If i had chose not to have the TAH i would have needed chemo and radiation. I also had to have CT scans every year for 5 years following my surgery. Now 20 yrs later im still here and cancer free
Praise God
How does one feel a bump on their cervix?
I was diagnosed in 2021 with stage 3bc neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix which was a rear and aggressive case, no second or third opinion wanted to treat me because of how rear the cancer is (1% of Asian population).Did chemo and radiation no surgery im still free from that cancer. However in 2022, I was diagnosed with chemo induced AML leukemia i spent from November 2022 until July 2023 in the hospital. I received a bone marrow transplant on June 14th (my new birthday). Im still in the recovery phase but one thing I know and sure of is prayer works.
I heard so many talking about this after the C💉’s mandated thing. I pray God gives us all, His grace and mercy that we will have learned to say No if this ever happens again.
Yes ..God answers prayers… What the enemy meant for evil God can turn for good trust in the Lord with all your heart lean not to your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he will pave a good path for you. In Jesus name amen
I'm very glad to know that you're doing well. As English is not your first language, I feel that I need to let you know that it's a "rare" cancer, not "rear". Rear means behind, as in "Please go to the rear of the line." Rear has several meanings, but back, or behind, or end, is thecmain definition. Rare means unique, or uncommon. (It also means lightly-cooked meat).
Excuse me, Did you say chemo induced leukemia, as in the treatment to cure your cancer gave you cancer?? Why does nobody talk about this, I’ve never heard of this 😢 I’m so glad you survived and you’re still here❤
Vacchinated????
My baby girl saved my life. I thought I had a problem with scaring due to my emergency c section 4 months prior . Went in for a check up because I was still spotting. Turned out to be a big tumor , had chemo-radiation and brachytherapy (2b2) and am 4,5 years out and doing really well. Just offering some hope to the ladies who are just being diagnosed .
Glory be to God. Happy you are here with us beautiful.
i got goosebumps when thinking of brachy
This is so reassuring. I just finished chemo, external radiation and brachytherapy last month. It's been so challenging going immediately into menopause. All of this is so overwhelming.
I was 24 when diagnosed with cervical cancer(50 now). Cryogenic procedure was unsucessful so I had laser surgery which got rid of it completely and has never returned. Chemo,radiation, or hysterectomy had never been brought up by my doctor. I feel very lucky. I pray for this woman and all that have had a more extensive process in order to take care of the cancer.💓
Cervical cancer, when caught early and before it becomes invasive, is completely curable with surgery alone. Once it has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs, chemo and radiation are necessary.

I found I had hpv 5 years ago and I was told the type I had was not dangerous. Last year I did another test and my body got rid of it.
Thank you good.
🙏🏼❤️
Quite common yes!
How did you find out your body got rid of it?
@@tafadzwachigwada5799 you just get tested for hpv again and see if the results are positive or negative.
Probably when they did another pap and lab results?@@tafadzwachigwada5799
I had HPV and cervical cancer but luckily I found it in the very early stages. They also told me I couldn’t have any more babies at that time two years later I had my daughter I was 28 years old when I was diagnosed. Had my daughter by 30 and now 20 years later I’m completely fine and every time I test my body has cleared the HPV from my system.
I miss my mom she also diagnosed a cervical cancer but sad to say she died of the age of 43 stage 4🙏😢
Sending love and peace your way🩷
Cancer is financially devastating!!!!!
I am praying for you and your family ❤️🙏 I am so sorry for your diagnosis of cancer. You will beat this. Cancer sucks!!!!

You are such an intelligent young lady. Good for you for empowering and arming yourself with knowledge for the cancer and treatment options. Glad to hear you beat the cancer. Congrats!
If she was an intelligent lady….. she wouldn’t have had a PERMANENT STD….. by the age of 19. 😉

I started with cervical cancer, then skin cancer and hopefully last but not least lung cancer...i pray thats the end of all the cancer
Sending prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I recently lost my aunt to cervical cancer at the age of 38. Please get vaccinated against HPV and practice safe sex. Most symptoms take years to show up and are often untreatable past the earliest stages.
Sorry to hear about your ❤️aunt, my aunt had ovarian cancer she passed back in April 2022. She told us she got tired of fighting and feeling sick daily. Ion she’s with Jesus Christ now. ❤️🙏
Good point about doctors not thinking outside the box. And getting billed by multiple providers, and having to pay $ for their mistakes. I hope you are doing well Mila.
Having my son saved my life, I had no intentions of becoming a Mum, I was 25, just bought my first home. At five months I was told I had cervical pre-cancerous cells, as it stood not a big deal but if not having my son it could've been. I was treated after the birth.
What did treatment consist of?
@@lakeshadavisld The abnormal cells were frozen off. 5 injections to numb the area and I walked home, totally painless.
So you had cervical dysplasia
@@truckingwithtobee 40yrs ago, just repeating the specialist.
This happened to my Mum. When my parents were trying to have me my Mum’s doctor said she had pre cancerous cells even though I wasn’t here yet I saved my Mum’s life.
Prayers. What a beautiful young lady.
Glad you're still here and doing well! 🙏🏻❤
Glad you have shared this. Informative and helpful. Most of all you told your story and you survived this ordeal.
I’m so sorry
so crazy brave to be faced with that and then make that choice to just pause and do ivf
Thank you. I think bringing someone with you is such a great suggestion.
Thank you for sharing your story, thank God your a cancer survivor 🙌🏼🙏🏼
22 year 1b1 cervical cancer survivor, back then I had a radical hysterectomy. Cut hip to hip
You did a great job on this video, very informative.
I am soo sorry to hear that you are going through all this, May God heal you and give you and your family long healthy life ❤ 🙏 sending heartful prayers for you.
Bless you for sharing your experience. Your advice concerning advocacy is so important, it can be overwhelming. I’m glad you did so well. As an older retired person, my own experience was easier bc I didn’t have to work during that time. Your explanations were spot on. You’re brave and I wish you well.
Prayers for you Mila.🙏Hope you're doing well.🙏
Thank you for sharing your story and experience; I’m certain a lot of people can use this information.
You are such a strong woman ❤️❤️❤️
Mila....brilliantly done. Your insight and information are incredibly helpful. You are a blessing...thank you for being YOU. I am a cervical/vaginal cancer survivor. I have the same "battle scars" on my abdomen that you did! We survived! There are so many women going through what you have gone through. Your testimony gives many women much needed comfort and knowledge to persevere and move forward. Thank you!
You are a brave woman . May God Bless You ! Bob M.
This is incredibly helpful
Pertinent info / Great presentation. Thank you. The insurance info 'heads up' was helpful too. 💜
🙏 thank you for sharing your story stay strong 💪
Thank you for sharing your experience. This is going to be so helpful to women who receive this diagnosis.
Just celebrated a year of remission for the same cancer.. two time survivor, luckily i was able to freeze my eyes before radiation & chemo so can have kids one day.. glade to say I celebrated my 34th birthday two weeks ago
You froze your eyes?

Mine stage 2A, completed my CCRT September 2022. Still doing paps-smear every 3 months and glad that the results was good. Next vault smear is in June, and hope everything goes well too.
Thank you for sharing your story, I wish you all the best!! ❤🙏🏻🍀
I am from Germany, and we go to the gynecologist once a year for a checkup and cancer prevention. It’s fully paid by our healthy insurance. Girls from age 14 on can get a vaccination against cervical cancer. When I found out that in many countries women don’t go to the gyn on a regular basis I was very surprised
Blessings and prayers!
thank you for sharing God bless you always
Thank you very educational.
Bless her heart, I pray she recovers. Prayers to everyone going through this.
I am freaking out. I am menopausal and just had astronomical estrogen levels (+2000). I just had a transvaginal ultrasound and there was something there as the tech stayed in a specific spot and had me press and release repeatedly. It was painful and there was a bloody show. I could feel some pain as I pressed.
Thank you for sharing your story .
Happy youre doing great Dear.
Thank you for the information. But, How did you feel a "small lump inside" your cervix? Like, from the outside or from the inside and how did you feel it? Thank you xx
wow! your amazing to get threw that
I have hpv rn I am terrified and I don’t want cancer and I don’t wanna die😢 I wish I never had sex. Its not worth all this :/
*MR OBALAR* ON UA-cam CURED ME COMPLETELY ❤..

What do you mean you felt a lump inside your cervix??
Is this something every woman should be checking and if so, how??
I have same you did check up?
Im happy u got your health back, be well my dear...
Inspiring 🙌🙌🙌
God bless ❤
You look really good and healthy. I hope you'll continue staying healthy, and i will pray for you.
I’m a survivor also. Over 20 years now. I had no choice but to get a hysterectomy and I was stage 1a. Congrats to you and enjoy your life.
Did you have babies before you got the hysterectomy?
So much love❤️❤️
Thank you so much. You are a source of strength and inspiration.
"I started feeling this lump inside my cervix" Im a bit confused..how did you feel a lump behind a closed cervix🤔 Maybe Im missing something.
She may have misspoke …”inside” possibly could mean inside her vagina and feeling the outer side of cervix which is very possible to feel especially when close to your period.
I am confused too
STIs are out of control. Sex isn't worth the harm potential in my opinion.
The problem is people sleep around.
That's disgusting. They lie, cheat, steal.
Drug, drink, even damaging themselves-
If they treat themselves like trash, how do you think they'll treat you?
I choose differently.
Stay safe!
@@rdallas81100% agree with you!!!

I just got diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer with metastisis.
I really really hope that yours NEVER comes back.
Prayers for your strength❤❤❤❤❤
how did you find out? you had symptoms ? praying for your recovery!
@@shangchi2360 - Blood in the urine. Only symptom I had.
I was told when I was 21, that I was halfway to cervical cancer. I have endometriosis, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts, had a laparoscopic diagnosis of the uterus to try to help the pain the endometriosis was causing to no avail, and nothing. For 5 years after all that, nothing. So I’m now in my early 30s, and I’ve felt those bumps she spoke about in the beginning. Had them checked out, they said they were benign. I need to get a second opinion with this new insurance, cuz I fear it may be closer than I realize. I’ll take seeing this video on my feed as a sign to keep on top of my health, especially that warning of cervical cancer.
Miss, I hope you’re happy and healthy and doing great these days, and as a non religious person, I’ll pray for lifelong remission for you.
Maybe you can answer this for me. She said she felt lumps inside her cervix. How did you fell these lumps? Does she mean inside, as in behind her cervix or like the cervix itself felt lumpy? How were you both able to feel that? I can't eve reach my cervix to check for my IUD strings. Was there another way to feel it?
@@breezeh1127; as graphic as it may sound to some, it’s a simple as feeling boobies or ballsacks for lumps.
Ok, so if you use tampons, you stop at the same point cuz you can’t go any further. That. Feel that. Take a seat in the bathroom, spread your knees, insert a finger and feel that back wall. (I had a single bump, which after several months, grew another.) your walls are not smooth, they’re almost like treads. But go straight back, and you’ll hit some tissue you can’t get past, that’s your wall, or cervix. Check it out, twice a year, and your breasts. Maintain your reproductive health. Idgaf what anyone else says, this is your body, and you need to know what’s going on with it.
@@Khaleesi_Jack I can't remember if it's this thread or another where I mention I can't reach my cervix. It's not anatomically possible for me. I literally have a super high cervix and have to have a doctor use cameras to check my strings of my IUD. I was asking because she said "inside". I was wondering if she meant inside like on the other side of the cervix from her vaginal canal. Or if she can feel it some other way like during intercourse or something.
@@Khaleesi_Jack correct!!
Thank you for explaining, good information
Hi guys😊
I'm a university student conducting my first ever study and it's about cervical cancer. Specifically " the impact of social support and networks on the experiences of women undergoing cervical cancer treatment" in Africa.
Can anyone give me any advice?
PS wish me luck, I really want to do a good job and draw more attention on a topic that's barely talked about in my home country
*MR OBALAR* ON UA-cam CURED ME COMPLETELY ❤..
I'm not a big vax person myself, but I pushed my daughter hard to get the Gardasil vax for this very reason. Cervical and ovarian cancers are so insidious that they avoid early detection many times. That and regular, periodic examinations are a must.
I received full round of Gardasil when I was 18 and still contracted high risk HPV. All pap results were abnormal since I was 25 & have resulted in ultrasounds and biopsies
I made my boys get it so they didn’t pass anything on to their partners.
Great! All should get it and at a young age. In my family we lost a male to HPV throat cancer, had a HPV cervical cancer step sister and me, HPV vulvar cancer. The surgery ruined my life. Don’t let your kids go through one of these when there is a vaccine out there
There are over 300 variants of HPV and the vaccines only cover around 10 of the most common ones. Getting the vaccine isn’t bad, (I recommend it) , but don’t rely on it for protection against ALL HPV variants.
You can also have HPV clear on its own ( your immune system does that) only to have it come back at a time your immune system is weakened like during pregnancy, illness, stress, older age, corticosteroid use, or immunosuppressants.
We (I’m a Cytologist, the lab scientist who screens Pap tests and biopsies for cancer and diseases) have also noticed an increase in HPV negative cervical carcinomas ( cancer). We think it has to do with mutations resulting in lower HPV viral particles in the cells below what the HPV test can detect.
HPV is tested on an analyzer and lets you know if you HAVE the virus.
The Pap test is a microscopic slide manually screened by a Cytologist who looks for the changes in cells that are precancerous or cancerous. We have seen an increase in cervical cancer since they have changed the Pap smear screening interval from annually to every 3 or 5 years.
@@08Jahnai got the vaccine as a kid and still got hr hpv too😢 im like what was even the point if you can still contract it smh
Weird about the insurance. I would think that cancer is fully covered. Bills are the last thing someone should worry about when they have cancer.
Prayers 🙏
I am a cervical cancer survivor
❤❤❤
Only just trust God and believe in healing
I see all these happy, smiling, cancer patients and can't relate. My daughter has suspected ovarian cancer, she cannot travel to have the definitive diagnosis as she is in too much pain. She can't get proper pain relief because of the harsh controls around opiates so her days are not happy, ever. We have no services so we do what we can to nurse her..we is me,72, and her brother who has serious mental health issues. Our days are full of pain, tears, frustration, fear..no smiles here. Doctors have dismissed, ignored, lied, threatened and terrorised my daughter to the point she is refusing hospital and has been labelled non compliant, despite having all invasive, painful tests requested and done everything except travel as she is in too much pain.She is a single mother, trying to parent from her bed. Third world country? No. Australia.
Thank you for sharing your story. How is your health now? And do you think the cold cap treatment was worth the cost?
You can treated completely or not ? Hope you’re good now
Im so sorry❤

Thank you for sharing... praying for God's total healing , calm, comfort, peace. It's hard to figure out what will upset someone ... A friend recovering, the meds would set her back and could see the side effects . But times she looked so good !!! Which I meant as encouraging ... kinda like something someone said after
my husband passed... upset me ... but I knew she meant no bad intention.
When you have cancer got to be a worrier.
My Goodness. Whilst going through cancer treatment one doesn't need to worry about insurance companies billing incorrectly. Stress doesn't help the healing process. I am sorry you had to stress yourself about billing. Glad you are now thriving.
Insurance companies don't "bill." They receive bills, and pay them according to contracts mostly.

How did you feel the lump inside your cervix? If I think about anatomy it seems to be impossible, specifically inside of cervix
A lump inside.. on her cervix
@@somethingkindawonderful3034That wasn't her question. The cervix is an internal organ. How could she feel the lump?
I feel like an idiot - but I am a grandma & have no clue how to differentiate my cervix when I still had it. I don’t know if I ever went high enough with my fingers!🤭. I will say this, after watching a few people go through cancer. If you are finished having kids
- for the love of God( & your loved ones) get EVERYTHING taken out
- total hysterectomy. You don’t need those organs -
so why take a chance getting cancer?? Please consider what I am saying.❤️
@@AS-yz2izThe cervix can be felt within the vagina. You can feel the outside of the cervix and any lump on it. Anyone who has inserted or removed a cervical diaphragm for birth control knows what the cervix feels like (kind of like a little stump).
@@davisholman8149having a total hysterectomy will put a woman in immediate menopause, which isn’t good for her health either. Most physicians recommend regular checkups/pap smears, not a hysterectomy.
I had stage 1 cc in 2016. I got the same treatment as you but never lost my hair. Dr told me I wouldnt. I couldnt have internal radiation due to too much scar tissue so I had a total hysterectomy. I also only got chemo thru an IV. I am an extremely hard poke but they never offered me a pic line.
God miraculously healed me from uterine cancer, no chemotherapy or surgery. If he did it for me, he could do it for you!
What a blessing!!!
