Hi, hope all went well with your test you are so strong! ❤️🙏🏻
Okay I am so happy for you. Great news!!
I’m glad God healed you Vanessa!
So happy for you
So glad you had a good report! I think I have told you I have had 18 of them. This time they are letting me go a whole year! So I felt your pain!
You are soooo lucky and blessed! ♥️🙏 God took care of you.
I have been watching your story off and on all day. Our story has a lot of similarities. I am 60 years old tho and was a stage 2. I am approved for my reversal, just waiting for the authorization to come thru. I was confirmed after a colonoscopy in July 2021. I started radiation and chemo pill form in Sept. My stoma surgery was Feb 3rd and have been cleared as cancer free after the pathology reports came back. Your videos have answered a lot of questions and concerns that I have been having. You are a very special lady and inspirational to many as I see your comments. Thank you.
Great news girl. I just found out I am in remission from colitis. My colonoscopy results were clear and the doctor was surprised
Glad you are doing well🙏🤗
Such awesome news!!! What an accomplishment!!….I know that’s a weird way of putting it, kind of, but just think about all of the hard stuff you had to go through for your cancer journey!! I’m just starting my state 4 breast cancer journey and it’s already terrifying. I love your videos!! I’ve watched you through your entire journey, ironically, well before my diagnosis. ❤️❤️
It is an accomplishment. So many times I wanted to give up. I wish you a smooth recovery 💗
Great news! Congratulations!!!
You are such a strong 💪 woman and I'm glad everything turn out ok.and that you are doing great God is good.you are also a great mom God bless you
Gods blessing for you and family Long journey for you and congrats!!
Congratulations!!!
Such good news! 🥰💙
Hey!! First comment. Good to see you you doing better ❤️
I found your video a couple months ago, when I started following you. I notice a few changes with my stools even though there is no cancer in my family, I'm concerned.
With no RA in my family, I was diagnosed almost 4 years ago. You are so strong going through all this ❤️
So happy for you because i remember everything you've been through in your journey.. the bad the not so good and the ugly.. and its important we keep our FAITH thru it all bc cancer will literally kick our butt if we let it!! I refuse to do that!! Not one moment in this journey is pretty or easy but as long as we stay positive and strong and always keep GOD by our side..🙏💙💪WE GOT THIS!! Wishing you the best Vanessa..lots of love blessings and happiness!!❤❤
Yes, I never lost my faith even on the days I felt extremely awful.
So happy for you sending love n prayers
You go girl!! So happy for you 💗 Thanks for sharing the good news. & I felt you when u wer doing your prep lol I hate going through it , I’ve never had the pills tho I always get the nasty drink lol 🙄
Good luck for your colonscopy i hope your results will be good 👍 😊 😍😍❤❤💙💙
What great news Vanessa. I too would rather take the pills then the liquid. Ive been there and done that 4 times with the liquid. So happy for you .
glad you are doing well.
Wow thats great news! I'm so happy 😊 for u! Your awesome 👌!
The prep is the worst. Great news!!
So thrilled for you ...
So happy you're all right! It's been such a long journey for you and you've carried yourself with grace and dignity throughout the entire way. If I could have had a daughter, I would want her to be just like you! 🤗💕💕💕💕💛
Lilly, you’re my mother now 🥺💗
@Vanessa LPZ I am honored! My mom passed away in 2006. I know it must have been so hard for you when your mom passed away and then to get hit with your diagnosis? I can't imagine what that was like! Yet here you are, healthy and going to school. I know you will do well! Wishing you all the best!
Yes it was really hard. It still is sometimes. Certain things happen and I think man I wish my mom was here 🙁 but then I remember she is in no pain or suffering anymore
Yay on your good report
Good for you!! 🙏🏻
Congrats!! I had my follow up appointment 3/23 after having a cancer tumor removed in my colon on 3/2 All is good I dodged a bullet, pathology results were negative
Congrats🎉👏😘💐
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy I’m so happy foryou👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💗
Hello Vanessa, I'm happy to see you recovering speedily. Recently a friend of mine diagnosed with kidney 1st stage cancer. They removed his one kidney. He lost his weight. But now he is cancer-free. Ever thing is possible in Jesus. 🌼
So happy for you, the most beautiful girl in the world.
Aww 🥰
Yay Vanessa ♥️♥️♥️I go for my colonoscopy next Wednesday and am already nervous.😵💫
Amen with that cream for protection part. I can barely walk the next day I am so raw in my bottom.
Such an inspiration , I was diagnosed stage 3 crc. Just did 2nd round of chemo and on 2150 mgs of capicedibine (misspelled) in the morning and again at night. Not sure how many rounds of chemo to go, but radiation then surgery. Mine to was real close to Back side, to close for surgery right away. Hopefully all this chemo and radiation helps shrink up the cancer. 🙏🏻 checking out your other vids for info. Hang in there..🙏🏻🙏🏻
I wish you a smooth recovery once you are all done. You can always reach me on Instagram @vanessa_avila_lopez link is in description box
I never take the full dose and there is never an issue. Good luck.
Right! I just feel like I’m 98 lbs… I don’t need that much
Prayers answered...
For what you have been through….this is like rebirth. Enjoy summer, with a clear mind.xx
God bless you mija I’m happy you are doing good. Que la virgencita te siga cuidando.
I was so mad about them pills but appreciated it way more than the liquid. It was easy breezy for me
Oh yeah wayyy easier to take
Thank God! God is great! Everything u went through was part of God's test. U are strong. May God protect you and keep your healthy!
Yay! Awesome News
I was getting nauseous listening to you talk about that awful stuff that you have to drink for a prep. It’s the worst. My dr. Had to order anti nausea pills so I could drink the prep it was so bad . So happy for you and your family that the news is great . Enjoy everyday. 🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yes I can’t even think about it lol
I had to do the nasty liquid stuff and I have been traumatized by it. I need another one done but I will not be able to get that stuff to my lips even. Most Dr won't do the pills but I will need the pills or I won't be able to drink it. It's been many years since I had one. To this day I can not drink Lemonade of any kind because when I did that liquid prep I put lemonade crystal light in it and that didn't even help LOL.. anyways I am so happy you got the pills and you did great and got great results. You have been through so much at a young age but you handled it like a champ. Congrats on your classes too. And I'm 56 next month. I can't imagine have cancer at the age you did.. Can't wait to see where your life takes you and your family. They are amazing too.
I hope they allow you to do the pills 🙁 if you have to drink the liquid do it cold or with ice and a straw hopefully that helps.
Dear, Thanks God .. thanks million times, i have illeostomy .. i passed through stage 3 also like you by oct 2021, still need 2 chemo dosage for 45 days ... Then illeostomy reverse .. my advice to me and you, to thank god .. always .. he gave us a chance to live with our family .. to be with them ... And i hope the problems will pass and i ll go back normal ... Best wishes
Hey Vanessa,you look like a very young Jennifer lopez, you aren't her long lost daughter.keep strong woman and lots of healing prayers 😊❤
Thank you for sharing this! I had no idea they had pills for colonoscopy prep! I just emailed my dr asking if he could prescribe these instead of the drink. 🤢 I can’t handle the drink.
Drinking that crap right now. Ugh, I feel gross.
Congratulations 💙💙💙💙💙🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💙💙💙💙
Hey Vanessa im so happy to see you doing so well I followed your journey maybe half way because I started searching up colon cancer, my brother was diagnosed with stage 3 too in 2021 and is currently still fighting but seeing your story brings me so much joy that God can make miracles happen. I was hoping you could answer a few question did you go to a specialized cancer hospital? Did you have your appendix removed ? If you did how old where you, im asking because i came across this information on google about how having your appendix removed, can make your chances higher of having colon cancer and, well my brother had his removed 10 years ago so i was just wondering, plus the colon cancer in my brother isnt genetic no one in our family has ever had it he's the 1st one if you could answer that it would be amazing and very appreciated have a great day and God bless🙏🙏💙💞💗
And if anyone with colon cancer can reply to my comment regarding having the appendix removed years prior to being diagnosed that would be amazing , i want to bring awareness to this because colon cancer is increasing in young adults and if there was a way to bring awareness about the correlation between the two maybe people could catch it way sooner, to have higher chances to beating it.
I’m so sorry for your brother being diagnosed. I hope you guys get through this and come out on top.
I received treatment at a cancer center with specialists. I had my spleen, gallbladder and appendix removed when I was about 3 years old due to my blood disorder.
Mine wasn’t genetic either but cancer does run high in my family
@@VanessaLPZ1 thank you so much for replying i really appreciate it, you are a very very very strong warrior, so inspirational, may God continue to give you health and many more years of life. We are God willing changing my brother to a specialized hospital only because his insurance before wasnt accepted but thank God we were able to get the insurance that got accepted at the specialized hospital now so God willing he will beat this cancer. We are all holding on to our faith in God, and pray he will beat this too.
Im bringing awareness about colon cancer not only for this month becuase its colon cancer awareness month, but in honor of my brother and of all that had it , all those that are still fighting and all those that are probably scared and have symptoms but dont want to find out they have it, becuase its better to find it early in stage then late. Thank you again and God bless 🙏💙💗💞
GOD bless you
Thanks for documenting the whole experience! What kind of questions do they ask before the procedure?
All of my surgery history lol which is a lot. Medications, treatments, family history, allergies..
Love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I had to do a colonoscopy last December and I remember thinking like you did after an hour and after another nearly 2 hours later it was sure working... all.night.long.
😂 when you start getting them bubble guts I knew lol
@@VanessaLPZ1 yeah! I didn't think it would be so audible either. I remember my husband was like "what's wrong with you?"
I love the surgeon that I had for my first colonoscopy. He said that I could eat a regular meal the night before. The next morning, I got up early and drank that nasty $hit. He told me that he does it that way because it's the best way to get yourself cleaned out. 🤷♀️ I wasn't going to complain. 😆 My colonoscopy went well, no polyps found. I was in my early 40's when I had it done. I'm 58 now and have since had a colonoscopy where I had to be on clear liquids the day before. I'm an advocate for my first colonoscopy procedure! lol
Good luck! You've got this girl!! Sending love and light ❤
Edit....Such a great outcome! Done for 3 years. Hurray!!!
I don’t even like thinking about the disgusting drink 🤢 the pills were a lot better. 💙
Hello, can I ask how you did not have hairfall after chemo? did you were ice caps and all?
Hello my mother was diagnosed with cancer in the bowls and she has stomach pain and is always going to the bath room even with out eating. She starts chemo soon. Did you experience this and if so do it gett better after treatments
Your so beautiful amazing and super strong
Colonoscopy I hate this. My dad started bleeding after he drank colon prep solutions and that day bleeding started and it didn’t stop and he has to undergo high risk sigmoid colectomy surgery to stop that bleeding but sepsis slowly started spreading like it ……didn’t show up in any blood culture reports….so colonoscopy can also be severely dangerous and can be life threatening (death)….my dad didn’t wake up one day (after 3 weeks of surgery) and he passed away in sleep 😔 cancer diagnosis can be very very risky and can lead to complications….
I’m getting my first colonoscopy tomorrow bc I have a lot of constipation, nausea , blood in stool , stomach pain. I’m so nervous that I’m gunna puke up all my prep but I rather get good news 🥴 could everyone take pills instead the pills seem easier than the powder / liquid
The second batch of Dugan I threw it up
👏👏👏 Yeah
I began following you when you talked about being diagnosed. I've been having noticable pain on my lower right side. It's not my appendix because I already had that removed. Is that a common symptom? Today the pain was quite bad.
Hey my brother is currently fighting colon cancer stage 3 and he too had his appendix removed 10 years ago, i recently made a "discovery" im only going by what i researched but you can also just google it, there has been studies that show people who had their appendix removed have had higher chances of getting colon cancer, i am not at all trying to bring fear , i want to bring awareness to this and if maybe i can help someone avoid getting to stage 3 or 4, look into it and definitely get checked dont let the doctors tell you, if you're young, that you're too young to have colon cancer , my brother got diagnosed at 33. Hes turning 35 this year God willing, still fighting everyday 💙🙌🙏
@@carmenx3m thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate the information. I hadn't heard of the connection between appendectomy and colon cancer. I'm also 33 so perhaps I do need to go to the doctor
I had my appendix removed when I was 3. I did get sharp pains but because my mass was so close to my uterus I thought it was menstrual cramping
@@microbios8586 yea i actually found out like 3 days ago because i was reading my brothers diagnosis from a year ago and for some reason they wrote that he had an appendectomy and now he has colon , idk why it made me question why they wrote it that way i went on google and their was studies that showed the chances of getting colon cancer increase if the person had an appendectomy. i never would of thought of that before, until i read that. Yes go get checked the sooner the better, praying for good results🙏
@@VanessaLPZ1 really wow you've been a warrior, you were so small . Oh so your pain wasnt towards the back my brothers was like lower back pain and also digestive problems.
You poor thing , I do know the feeling 😑
Congratulations glad everything worked out great! I’m glad they switch to the pills because that liquid stuff smells like anti-freeze with gatorade. Lol I hated it😜
🌷💗
I congratulate you on your good news, but it's odd that they are telling you to have your next Colonoscopy in 3 years. Everyone who had Colorectal cancer should have a colonoscopy every 5 years, and if everything goes well, every 3 years. Two of my family members had this type of cancer, one in NYC and another in NJ, but both doctors required annual examinations.
🥰❤️
Ok I have a question, I have never seen a colonoscopy prep like this. Is this because of your history?
I guess it’s a new method because I didn’t even know about the suprep either.
@@VanessaLPZ1 I see. I have one scheduled next month and I’m doing the miralax prep. But there was the big gallon prep and then there was an option for a pill, just 1. Man watching you take those 24 pills was so crazy!!
@@elaina4529 I need the pills for my next one. I know I can't get liquid prep to my lips even.it was horrible and I got super sick drinking it. I tried to get pills the first time and they refused.
LET'S PARTY 🥳🥳🥳🙏😘🇨🇾
I’m about to schedule a virtual zoom party to celebrate with you guys 😂
New subscriber
When did you get braces?
I’ve had them for almost 2 years lol
What tablets were that?
They were Sutab pills
@@VanessaLPZ1 Do they give you pills because of your previous Cancer,? I don't have cancer but the Dr wouldn't give me pills. The liquid one made me so sick I threw up and I couldn't finish the whole thing Now I'm.traumatized and have not brought myself to go back to get another I know I need.
Girll I would get one once a year for the first 3 years!! Not trying to be negative Nancy but you never know…3 years it maybe to late! Smh…you went through to much to have to go through all that again. Just precaution…if its clear once a year for three years go every 3 years 🙏🏾
Yes I think I understood wrong. I think he did say every year and in 3 months he’ll see me lol. I was still on the medications lol
:)
Clear pedialyte popsicles, lollipops
Sutab
I had diagnosed stage 3c colon 3 weeks ago
Now im in 12 rounds of chemo
Seeing your video
Im sure i will be ok 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Can you tell me your insta or gmail so thay i can ask you some questions about chemo effects and how it can be tolerated
So sorry 😞 I’m glad they found it and your receiving treatment. My Instagram is @Vanessa _avila_lopez the link of in my description box. 💙
