My Cancer Story - How I was diagnosed (Hodgkin’s Lymphoma)
Resulting from many people advicing me to a video sharing my cancer journey, here I am.
In this video, you'll learn about the symptoms I had and the entire process in the hospital.
I apologize for my broken english and for rambling, I do not intend my future videos to be as long as this one - this is all new to me.
In a future video, I will be doing a Q & A about everything related to my cancer journey, that many have been questioning me about.
If you have any questions / curiosities to ask me, please do comment on this video or contact me on Instagram.

    Thank you for your story-I know it’s many years after your original post, and I’m hoping you are recovered. I am a US senior citizen, our medical system is always held up as better than anywhere else , particularly those social / nationalized systems as in Europe… I can tell you, if you are in the workforce and fully covered by your employers insurance, you MAY be ok- still not guaranteed… but if you are retired and on Medicare, it is WORSE than any European socialized medical system. Don’t believe the hype that American medical system is the best I. The world- it may be if you are one of the 1% - other than that, you are toast

    I had a lymph node biopsy 5 years ago. Negative. But I've recently got much worse, non stop night sweats and itching all over body, literally top of head to toes. Constant nerve pain and frequent infections. Painless swollen lymph nodes (and itchy) all over body. Tired, weak, fatigue. So I'll most likely need another biopsy soon. Praying in Jesus Christ's Name that its lymphoma, so I can finally get treatment and be done with this! Its maddening to not have a diagnosis after 6 years. Thx for ur video!! God bless you

    By the way, progression of my monoclonal gammopathy has halted since I started taking 8 grammes of curcumin with piperine and vegetable oil per day. I know it's not medically approved as yet, but it's non-toxic and seems to be helping me. I know there's a lot of research being done with it at present, though the big pharmaceutical companies will only be interested if they can synthesize it or process it and patent that so they can make money.

    The courage you show in dealing with your problem. and also sharing it to help others, is just exemplary. I have much respect for you. I do hope your therapy is successful. I'm still on 'watch and wait' for what my specialist (incorrectly?) terms MGUS. (I suggest incorrectly becuase I've had many symptoms, though relatively mild but MGUS is by definition meant to be symptom-free). Good luck!

    Russell of CA-USA here. Thank you for sharing your experience. Because I have a lump on my tongue, and I am at the beginning of my search for answers regarding the consequences of this troubling potential disease, I find it comforting to learn how you coped with your tests, pain, Doctors behavior and etc. Also, regarding your command of English, please, please be assured that your dialogue is moving and well understood, in my opinion. Particularly your grammar , pronunciation, vocabulary and ability to stay focused is awesome. English is my first language and my performance would be shameful by comparison. I hope your mother is well, because she worries about you as only a mother can. I hope your treatments continue to be successful and time will relieve the stress of this life experience. May your good health be the gift of the season, Xmas that is. Beautiful name by the way.
