I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma when I was 15. My mom made me go to the dr after having shortness of breath. She got me out of school early (my first day of high school) & the dr found a large tumor on my lungs. It was so big it had collapsed a lung! After chemo, radiation & lots of prayers I’m cancer free & 52!
My 28 year old daughter passed away from this disease in 2009 and what you explained in this video was exactly what happened to her. The Lymphoma attacked her heart. She was air lifted to Massachusetts General in Boston & 9 months later passed away in hospital. She was pregnant and delivered my grandson before being air lifted to MGH. Her OBGYN kept blaming all her symptoms on her being pregnant. Her case is in the New England Journal of Medicine. I hope this video helps many people who experience these symptoms and family advocate for them before it's too late. I'm glad this gentlemen knows how lucky he is. God bless ❤
Doctors get upset when we ignore symptoms, but when we come to them with concerns about our symptoms they ignore us and tell us we’re fine. Took me *14 years* of being told it was all in my head, and then me dying twice at 15, and 30+ specialists that ignored me, for them to actually diagnose me with a genetic disease I’ve had since I was born!
@@bladeedge481 the pharmacy company gets commission off of specific medications from insurance companies, through something called a pharmacy kickback system. The doctors don’t see anything from the meds they prescribe, and neither do the pharmacists. The insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies do.
So true. I am having with this my current primary care doctor. He agrees that there's something wrong with me but doesn't want to order any diagnostic tests for ruling out things. He just orders the same basic blood count over and over and tells me that since that is ok, there's probably nothing seriously wrong with me. My symptoms sound a lot like in this video. I have to visit the doctor again to see if I could get imaging done especially for my chest.
@@bladeedge481 the doctors don’t see a penny from prescriptions, pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and insurance companies do. Look into pharmacy kickback programs, they’ll make you mad. But the prescribing doctor doesn’t see a cent.
It's not just patients ignoring symptoms. It is also doctors not believing or listening to them. My friend had a lump on his neck. He approached his doctor. His doctor told him he would keep an eye on it. 5 years later Dennis asks the doctor about it again. Well, it was adenoid sarcoma. Good news is it's a slow growing cancer. Bad news is the 5 years headstart it was given was enough to kill my friend. Dennis was poor and not taken seriously and now he's dead.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hate that some doctors can be so dismissive. The hunt for quality healthcare providers is so tedious. He’d be here if his doctor took his concerns seriously.
@@destructorzz7197 Dennis was the kind of person that the doctor really needed to tell him that and/make him an appt for 6 months. He trusted his doctor.
@@SuperPinklady08 Dennis was a good egg and his family are special. Sadly his wife died within 2 years under very similar circumstances and she was not taken seriously either.
I had it at age 25, I was brushed off for 9 months with symptoms like fatigue, itching , lower back ache, shortness of breath. I was told I'm perfectly healthy and to take some vitamins. By the end of the 9 months my lymph nodes got swollen around my neck and the doctor was trying to tell me it's normal until I lashed out saying IM.NOT NORMAL AND I WANT A C T SCAN !!! Then it was Ops your stage 4 B and we need to move fast ..... lost my trust in the medical system.and i only trust my intuition since then.
Same sentiment. New mole appear on my face and my dermatologist told me it is not cancer although hesitant I choose to believe her I've notice it's getting bigger. Ive asked my doctor to remove it and for biopsy. It turned out non melanoma skin cancer.
I am a,doctor m,self and do not trust my colleagues, with a handfull of exceptions. I have an admittedly rare Autoimmune disease, called Generalized Giant Cell Vasculitis and it took them 8 years to make the right diagnosis. My arteries where inflamed from my feet to my carotides and I needed twice w Inits of blood for severe anemia and thrn still sent me to the psychiatrist to ask ehether it was self inflicted. I was 59 at that time. I was treated for years for chronic pain syndrome snd depression, because of my heavy fatigue. My grandpardnts are 1st degree cousins and m, ehole family has rheumatoid kind of different autoimmune diseases. I also had a sicca syndrome and told them, went to three rheuamtologists, who told me naw the RF is negativ, desöite an ESR over 100. Finally at my third admission a yokng soctot put me through a Cat scan and then they saw all my arteries lighted up like a chriymas tree. Since then I have gained 30 kg because of the Crtisone and the extremely expensive Antibody medicine (Toxicilumab) does nothing for me. I lost my home ,my clinic and went bakrupt in the 8 years until diagnosus. As far as treatment is concerned after 2 years of aggressive Steroid and Antibody, therapy with almost no improvement at the contrary I decided to try Traditional Chinese Medicine.
@@christianefiorito3204 I was a high risk cardiology RN for 20 years and I hope I can use Chinese medicine only from here. I'm 56 and dealing with bad lymphedema to the lower extremities.
Ditto- except I was 22 and stage 2B. I kept going back to my doctor because the swollen lymph node that was “probably just a cold” wasn’t going away and becoming more dense. Finally was tested and found out a I had a ton of cancerous lymphnodes- neck, lung, down the esophagus and several on the larger side of normal in my abdomen that were about to turn cancerous and make me officially stage 3. I learned very young to be your own advocate- congratulations on beating your cancer! Wishing you all the best!
Husband had this and it progressed to stage 4 after doctors kept treating him for congestion and upper respiratory infections. Thank God for the doctor who caught it immediately. He had Non-Hodgkin lymphoma diffuse large B cell. He’s in full remission at 5 years now.
Exactly what I had, large B cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma…. Mine created a mass in my sinus which ate nerves, so my main symptoms were numbness in my face coupled with major toothache…was told I had cancer on the Friday and was having chemo the very next day…I was stage 4….been in remission 4 years, I was 40
What made that particular doctor consider the c word even after other health care professionals focused on his respiratory situation ? (I’m glad for the both of you that he’s in remission now.) I’m asking b/c my fatigue is ruinous and has been for a long time, and I objectively “look unwell” according to family & friends (unintentional weight loss and discoloration around the outside of my eyes), but most medical professionals I’ve encountered in the last 7 years they seem annoyed that I keep complaining (about health).
I was diagnosed with this particular disease 30 years ago. Went through the hell of chymo for six months, and one month of radiation therapy. I can still hear my doctor telling me that when all that will be over, I will remember it as a bad dream. I didn't believe him at the time. I had believed that life would end there, and that my children would have to grow up without me. Turns out my doctor was right. I'm still here. I was able to watch my children grow up, and is now blessed with grandchildren. Whoever may be going through this, I tell you this: don't get discouraged. It's a type of cancer that is curable. Follow your doctor's orders, take good care of you. Don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, try to exercise, and most of all get rid of whatever stresses you out. All will go well and one day you will remember it all as a bad dream. I promise.
Thank you so much it motivates me, now i am going through 3rd chemo nonhodgin lymphoma rchop regiment i believe Allah will help me i am 25 i terminated my pregnancy cause i got cancer, i believe i will be healthy again soon have children,no stress anymore, i think stress is the primary cause of this cancer
@@endonezceogretmen21 I am glad my words have helped. Faith is a strong weapon also and from what i gather, you have it. Never give up the fight and in the end you will be the winner, I'm sure of it. God is great and he will carry you safely until it's all over. You will have babies, grandchildren and a long full life. Wishing you the best.
I was diagnosed with hodgkin lymphoma at the age of 21 after 1 years and 2months with miss diagnosis. I had excess sweating, lumps on my neck and every now and them my right arm paralysed for lack of blood flowing. 6 months of chemio and 1 month of radio was the treatment. After 1 month and a half, the cancer was gone, not even the doctor believed that happened. Now I am 29. Be positive and nothing will let you down!
My Dr's looked at me and pretty much laughed and said "lose weight,you'll be alright".. 4mths later I was pregnant and about dead. Thank God the knot came up on my neck and finally people believed me.but the sweating is something you know ain't right,you can ring your shirt out it so much! But I thought I just had the flu..my legs hurt bad!! I had stage 3 and was pregnant at 25yrs old. Thank you Jesus me& baby beat cancer
I was 18 when i was diagnosed with hodkins lymphoma stage 4B, symtpomns was ignored, told i was asmathic, prone to cehst infections, weight loss was due to growth spurt. Eventually one doctor put together the pieces and i was diagnosed. 7 years in remission now thankfully
My husband had NHL in his 50's. The doctor told him he had allergies and to pull up the carpet and put the cat outdoors. He did that but symptoms got worse. She then gave him an allergy med. with no change. I started researching cancer symptoms and made him go back to her and demand to be tested for cancer. His doctor would not look or acknowledge me at his future appointments. He was a vet and I think she didn't care if he died. Thank goodness for TH-cam doctors like you that give out accurate information. Thank you!
Unless it’s a veteran’s hospital why in the world would he continue going to a physician who doesn’t care if he dies? Even if it’s a veteran’s hospital if she was that bad I would still do everything I could to make sure he’s in the care of a physician who cares if he’s dead or alive and more efficient as a physician. Just doesn’t make sense.
@@tammyslaughter9587 you clearly have no knowledge of how the VA works!! Try to educate yourself a bit before popping off. Many, many veterans cannot afford yo go anywhere else for Healthcare or meds, often due to being on non-VA disability that barely covers living expenses.
I got diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma when I was 7 months pregnant.. completed 6 cycles of chemo and unfortunately got to know it is chemoresistant.. still on treatment.. i hope this will get over soon.. still feeling blessed being around beautiful people
My neighbor was treated for pneumonia a few times in the emergency room. Finally, on one of her visits she actually saw a doctor that told her it wasn’t pneumonia but it was lung cancer. She went for months being treated for the wrong thing. It ended up getting to her brain. She died a miserable death.
This is why you get a second opinion to be honest. The fact that she was misdiagnosed for so long is partially on the patient. I was given a thyroid cancer diagnosis and the first thing I did was get a second (And a third) opinion. All agreed on the procedure (removal of the thyroid) and the cancer type so get a second (and a third) opinion, especailly if symptoms do not improve say within a week or a few weeks (as some do take time to go away).
Im 29 years out from my Stage 4 B diagnosis and remission. I ignored my symptoms for possibly 2 years. Towards the beginning of the end I had itching, night sweats, pain from drinking alcohol all over my body...my Dr called that firepox, and finally I lost 50 lbs in 4 months...silly me thought this was all stress at 23 years old. 10 months of MOPPABV and 5 weeks of RT, lung surgery and other issues here I am...now dealing with long term side effects but still relatively healthy
I have hodgkins lymphoma for 7 years. Had. A stem cell. Transplant. Have all symtoms that u described just. Surviving. Eat healthy. And keep busy. When the exhaustion. Total tireness. Set in. Pray every day
Hi, my husband has hodgkin lymphoma. He had chemos after 10 months and it was replaced. Now advised to have a stem transplant . Can you please share your experience of stem transplant
My Son was misdiagnosed with non Hodgkin's Lymphoma when he actually had Histoplasmosis. They mimic each other. They found no cancer in his autopsy only Histoplasmosis. If giving antifungal treatment instead of chemotherapy at the time of diagnosis, he could have survived! Doctors need to be trained better to rule out Histoplasmosis before blasting with chemotherapy...😢
I discovered some swollen lymphs at the end of last year. I immediately went to the doctor and the doctor just touched my throat for a short time and said that she can’t detect anything. The bill came pretty fast but it was unsatisfying how she treated me. However, two weeks later I went to a different doctor and she felt my lymph nodes, did ultrasound and made blood tests which was all ok. I had a control meeting two months later and still nothing. But I really hate how some doctors don’t take you seriously when you have problems. That’s a big problem. To end this story, I had another ultrasound of my lymph nodes earlier this month and it’s still good. But what I have learned is that sometimes you have to go to another doctor to get a second opinion or even a third. Don’t be satisfied when you realize that the doctor did not take you serious.
Today in America doctors don’t touch you at all. It’s all blood work, machines for blood pressure, oxy and weight. Lots of pointless talk. The regular exams were always about checking limps nodes because it’s hard to know what’s normal and what’s not, especially since some lumpy nodes are there always. What’s wrong with American doctors???
@@SculptExpress-gv8jp German doctors seem to be the same because I‘m from Germany. I found a decent doctor in a bigger city like an hour away from me with the car. It’s really annoying when doctors don’t take you serious. They think just because I‘m young I can’t get serious diseases. Someone who was living in my street passed away from cancer and was my age. Doctors should know that something bad can happen to everyone. When I wanted my doctor to test my blood all the nurse there has said was that I‘m pretty young and there is no reason for my blood to be tested. Just wow.
I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2014 I had very similar symptoms. I also explained away the fatigue, night sweats and the deep pain in my bones. When I started getting large, painful bruises from doing something as simple as crossing my legs. That's when I scheduled an appointment with my GP & 2 days before that appointment I woke up with a blurry spot in my right eye, which ended up being a retinal hemorrhage. My GP took some blood for tests and set me up with an immediate appointment with a retinal specialist. I got a call a few hours later that woke me from a dead sleep. It was my GP saying I needed to get to the hospital right away because my white blood cell count as 450k! So take it from me: don't always explain away symptoms like the ones in this video. If it's a change from how you normally feel, go see a doctor.
My friend who is a young guy in his mid-30s kept telling me he felt like his bones were hurting and he was seriously exhausted…eventually got diagnosed w leukemia and started on radiation therapy. Luckily it seems to have worked, it’s been over a year now.
@@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372 I'm so glad ilhecs doing so well! Those were the exact symptoms I had, but I explained away the bone pain as me just standing and walking too much at my job in a jewelry store because the pain was located in my thighs down to the bones in my feet. I also explained the night sweats away as me being very unlucky and somehow being perimenopausal at the young age of 33. Deep down I knew it was abnormal, but I didn't want to face it. Thankfully other symptoms like simply crossing my legs causing massive bruises finallyade me go to my GP. And 2 days before the scheduled appointment a retinal hemorrhage happened because my blood was so thick with white blood cells. Itcs been almost a decade for me and while I enjoyed a few years off my cml med late last year I had to go on it again because my BCR-ABL test, the test that shows if my blood has any cancer cells in it, started being positive again, but I was able to go on a lower dose than before.

Last year on April 21st was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My personal Dr was didn’t recognize the symptoms. He would tell me that it was just a flu. I was having the same symptoms, he would recommended me to take ibuprofen or Tylenol, to point where I become allergic to ibuprofen, rashes would show pop up, and swollen lips, and swollen eye lids. I had fever and horrible chills., the sweats were intense as well. Dr would send me to get tested for HIV and other test, but everything came up negative. Finally I decided to change Dr. The new Dr send me for complete test which included, X-rays, ultrasound, and pet scan . Thanks to all these new test Dr was able to find out wha was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with stage 4b lymphoma. Now I’m done with chemotherapy, and feeling like a new.
Dismissiveness from physicians over non-specific symptoms is rampant and accounts for a substantial amount of people finding out what they need to know way too late.
Problem is that majority of the signs and symptoms for some serious diseases are often misinterpreted by physicians or ignored by the patients. I live in NYC, working as a nurse and i cannot tell you how many times you hear: I’m so so tired! Stress in big urban areas is like air, we are all under a lot of pressure from bills, school, personal life etc; so is very easy to assume that the reason behind so many symptoms including weigh loss is stress. Unfortunately we will see more and more of this late detection patients, specially in big cities
You are exactly right!! I mean who doesn’t have or deal with fatigue? We’re so used to just pushing our bodies constantly almost to the brink. I will say the fatigue I developed with stage 4 colorectal cancer, and then 8 years later with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was debilitating and life changing in a fairly short amount of time. But I still thought it’s was from stress and work related fatigue. I would like to tell you I appreciate you and your profession, nurses are some of the best people in the world. I have worked with many as an emergency medic, and been in their care off and on for years as a cancer patient. Please take care of yourself, you are so valuable to this world.
What could be it, a tumour on the abdomen which spread pain in the upper arm like the bone is broken and the spleen also enlarged? The doctor didn't say anything to my cousin what is it, but doctor required surgery. My cousin suffered from gastrointestinal problem for over 25 years ago.
I’m going through now. Two days they drain 1.5 liters out of my back. This week I expect to get a pet scan and the biopsy. I keep telling myself to stay positive and don’t give up. It just seems crappy since I retired four months ago. Luckily for me both of my sons are MDs and my doctors are proactive so I am surrounded by good people I just need to do my part and fight like hell.
Meditation is the key with medical treatment..the body is a self healing machine but it needs to be in the right space... every day in every way ..I'm getting better and better...say it 20 times ,too yourself,on a daily basis..what the mind perceives ,you will become...
A former neighbour, who was a smoker, died of Hodgins Lymphoma aged 54 around five years ago. This was 10 years after his diagnosis which showed an inoperable mass on his chest that radiotherapy and chemotherapy managed to stall, but not eradicate. His mother told me he never had any of the usual childhood illnesses and rarely took ill with even the mildest of colds prior to this. In contrast, a friend's daughter who was a professional dancer in her early 20s was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2012 and only saved by cutting-edge stem cell therapy after all other treatments had failed. She didn't smoke or drink and led a very healthy lifestyle with no family history of any related disease. The last I heard, she was still well, all thanks to the amazing medical team who saved her.
Many times there’s no rhyme or reason why some people get lymphoma or leukemia, and why some survive, and others don’t. Actually that can be the case for many cancers. It’s interesting that your 54 year old or even 44 year old at diagnosis former neighbor developed Hodgkin’s instead of non-Hodgkin’s because Hodgkin’s is usually diagnosed in younger adults. It’s inspiring to hear your friend’s daughter is doing well, and now they’ve made even further advances in blood cancer treatments since 2012.
@@NarutowhatappGamer2.0 It was the Cancer Centre at Western General Hospital, Edinburgh back in 2012, who I cannot praise enough having seen them in action when caring for a loved one.

I had non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Luckily Stanford Hospital diagnosed it correctly because where I went to the ER when I passed out, they diagnosed it as Hodgkins disease. My symptoms were numerous but I didn't put them together or suspect I had cancer. Mine were: 1) constantly getting whatever cold or flu virus came along for a year or more, when normally, I would bypass most; 2) redness in the eyes; 3) rash around my waist line; 4) achy joints that made me feel like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, especially apparent if I sat for any length of time.
I beat Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma after a heavy cycle of chemo. However after 10 months I relapsed with Bowel Cancer being the primary cancer but I had it in 4 other places ie sternum etc. Luckily after a stem cell transplant and further intense chemo I beat cancer again. I had a stricture in my colon after all of this and unfortunately the narrowing was too small for any cameras. They had to remove part of my bowel to be able to biopsy the stricture and rejoin my colon. Thank fully no cancer cells was found within the removed part and I am now in complete remission. Keep the faith guys and believe you can beat it just like me 🤞🏽
My grandfather has this. When he went to the hospital because he wanted to know why he had been feeling sick for so long and they were amazed that he was still alive!
Thank you for this. There's no 'fluff' in your videos. They're so good to watch. I've taken much from them. Especially the ones on fat and diabetes and associated aspects, but all that I view really. You're a good man!
Omg! You are spot on anout those symptoms! I had all of those symptoms when I was diagnosed with colon cancer years ago. 😮! I had a strong itchy rash on my belly, the fatigue was horrible, the fevers ,weight loss and fevers.
@@MsAchampion I had colon cancer too and I had the fatigue, weight loss, fevers and horrible night sweats. Also obstruction of my colon which kept me from properly relieving myself. I knew something was wrong, seriously wrong when night sweats and high fevers started to become more common. Thank God when I went to my physician he took everything I said seriously and scheduled me for a CT and colonoscopy. Results came back as a mass in my sigmoid colon. Surgery was scheduled and it went extremely well. The pathology came back stage 2a colon. I spent 3 months on chemo and now have been feeling really good now for the last 4 months. Actually I felt amazing right after surgery which was 8 months ago but the 3 months of chemo really slowed me back down. I’m learning now to not take life for granted and try to enjoy every moment no matter how mundane and boring it might be bcos it’s a hell of a lot better than sitting in the chemo chair in the oncologist’s office getting infused with Oxaliplatin!!
This is what happened with me. Fatigue and lost 12kgs. At first, doctor couldn’t find out what happen. But after several test, we manage to find out the culprit. Still on the process of recovering now
A lot of those symptoms can easily be interpreted as anxiety. For an anxious person, believing their anxiety symptoms are something worse just makes the symptoms worse. And it doesn't help that most doctors refuse to actually see patients, preferring to just conduct a virtual visit, followed up by a prescription antianxiety pill. My last doctor visit a couple months ago was pointless because the doctor didn't even want me to remove my mask. The insanity continues.
Had HL in 2015. No symptoms except swollen lymph nodes and was misdiagnosed with tuberculosis for a year. Then started back pain after a few months of being on TB meds. Meanwhile also got a lymph node biopsy, the report was negative for lymphoma and since I didn’t have any other typical symptoms such as weight loss or night sweats, fever, itchy skin, they didn’t send the sample for further testing. No doctor (almost ten different docs in different hospitals) took the really awful back pain I had seriously or correlated it to my swollen lymph nodes. Blamed it on posture, mental health etc. Finally after a year of TB meds and back pain, a doctor sent me for MRI of spine which showed tumors all over. Then after a spine biopsy, they diagnosed it as HL and treatment started in 2016.
Hey I hope you re doing better. Can I please ask where did your back hurt and how did the pain come, how intense it was etc.? Im really anxious about mine.
My sister have non Hodgkin lymphoma cancer, she didn't have and still have no symptoms, just a little bit of breathlessness while taking the stairs. She discovered it not because of symptoms but because she was a blood donor for a while and had her blood tested accurately multiple times. I want encourage people to be donors because as you can understand you are not doing it just for others but also for yourselves.
I’ve had two friends in their twenties get lymphoma. One had stage 4. Both survived after treatment. Scary that they got such a dreadful disease so young. The one with stage 4 took the doctors forever to diagnose.
I am glad to hear your friends are doing well. I recently had a friend diagnosed at 28 with stage 4. He had no clue until he started feeling sick quickly. He has started treatments. I pray he heals and has a long future ❤️
The case you uad reminds me of my son, only it was Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He was 19, working full time. After a short period of his gums not healing from wosdom tooth removal, he walked into the ER one day and was in our Children's hospital PICU that night. Crazy how life can change so fast. On another front, my sister-in-law died of Hodgkins in 1989.
My dad just died of AML after being diagnosed with MDS like a decade ago. He opted to do nothing about it, requiring countless blood transfusions, a spleen removal, and various other issues in his final days. Sorry to hear about your son. You’re the only person I’ve seen who has mentioned AML
I very luckily had a HL scare about 8 yrs ago so when my husband had a lymph node get huge suddenly I made sure he got straight to the Dr. he is currently in remission but I found it amazing that the Dr constantly told me married men are more likely to survive. Due to Covid I wasn’t allowed in most of the appointments but I was there for all the appointments I could go to.
While practicing in a student health service, I missed one case of lymphoma and diagnosed another that had been missed. In both cases, young adults with "swollen glands" and "bronchitis" were told to come back if not better. The most dramatic was the one I missed who presented with superior vena cava syndrome. Of course it was Saturday AM of a 3 day weekend. We had him getting radiation therapy before we had a tissue diagnosis. The one I caught had been diagnosed twice with "mono" over a 6 month period. He had a classic "woody" node in the neck. Both young men ultimately did very well. The axiom that "common things are common" can obscure the rare.
Addendum to my above comment. I also watched my husband (74) having a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that took 18 months, many medications (anti-fungal, topical and parenteral steroids, monoclonal antibodies)several specialists and 2 biopsies to diagnose. This is a very different disease and he is doing well with UV treatments. Ironically he has had several basal cell cancers, has been avoiding the sun and religiously using sunscreen for years and now he is getting what he has tried to avoid for years. I initially thought he had tinea (fungal infection), then possibly an allergy. It helped that his dermatologist is a friend, and his wife is a doctor. His main symptom was itching which was intense, kept him from sleeping and made him extremely irritable. The biggest annoyance was that none of his doctors was willing to just give him sleeping meds while they worked it out.
Hi! Please I need your help. The ultrasound detected a huge tumour in the abdomen of my cousin who suffered from gastrointestinal problem for over 25years now. The pain have extended to the upper arm. The doctor only required for surgery instead saying what is it. Thanks so kindly for your gesture. Remain blessed!
The thing is the rare things aren't always rare just misdiagnosed. It's AMAZING to hear a medical professional actually admit to a mistake. Yet if you had more time with this patient, less patients, and resources would it be missed?? The "God" complex comes out in about 50% of doctors intentionally and unintentionally who save lives and help people on a regular basis. A doctor told me that. That's why I walked out the hospital with a giant cancerous brain tumor. But thanks for the share♡
Thank you for your honesty. I often think that people have an unrealistic view of medical professionals, believing that they should never, ever make a single mistake. I really dislike that attitude, as you are simply human, like the rest of us. I'm glad that both patients recovered.
I thought I had a hernia when I went to the doctor to have it checked out. My doc immediately ordered a sonogram of the area, and luckily - the radiologist reading my report told my doc the seriousness of my report. Luckily, it was NHL and I began chemo very quickly. I am so grateful to, and amazed by, the cancer care-givers - the doctors, nurses, aides, lab techs, and yes - the administrators who deal with the dreaded insurance. I was inspired when I was listening to the story of one the Olympic winter atheletes -- a very young man, yet he had Hodgkins lymphoma - which is treated differently than NHL. There he was at the top of his athletic game, but had to undergo many more months of chemo than is "normal." He worked his wasy back from the ordeal and was there at the Olympics.
So glad you are ok!! NHL is NOT like Hodgkins. I have a male friend who had it, and he Had stage four! I honestly believed he would be dead, until I read that the prognosis, even at stage four, is a 95% survival rate at five years and still over a 90% survival rate past 10 he got through it just fine. I’ve had blood changes recently and this is actually quite concerning
@@laurasmith14 my doctor said there are hundreds of different kinds of categories within the Non Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosis! Yet, they are basically all treated with chemotherapy. I was taken and encouraged by a story of an Olympican who was diagnosed with the awful Hodgkins lymphoma. He was a young man at the top of his game when diagonsed with Hodgkins. He had double the number of chemo treatments normally prescribed, survived and did compete in the Olympics.
I just found out 2 months ago. Felt the symptoms for maybe 1 month and a half and was arrogant on going to the hospital at first thinking I had a respiratory infection. God bless the old lady at the City MD who forced me to go to the hospital. But everything is a blessing and things happen for reasons beyond our wisdom.
@@sm1tty031 I swear I don't say this lightly or because of being "sick" but it's been a blessing in top many ways why? Before finding out I had lymphoma never in my life had I been feeling so stressed like the last 2 years of normal everyday things obviously bills, too working way way too much and not seeing any of my loved ones ans ECT ECT lol. After finding out i have "cancer" "lymphoma" I laughed genuinely and felt relaxed in my mind like the stress of life all melted away. In that moment I said nothing really is up to us, we only have so much control over things
@@neverusedlines i know what you mean. My wife has never been truly sick. She is lucky but she stresses over every little thing. I dont. Life is too short. Thank you for your reply and I wish you life love and happiness
@@sm1tty031 lol side note. My wife makes me feel alittle "sicker" at times and moments that I already feel PHYSICALLY official, and that's really the only times I feel really not good. But I'm very sorry my friend. I don't want to sit and here male and female this. But women's are alittle bit more emotional and unfortunately means can not control their filter as much if that's the right term. But I promise you at my madest moments with my wife, and we're all human at the end of the day, I tell her I think you forget I'm physically sick, but one advice if I can advise you and thinking about my wife you will get resistance is Order REAL REAL olive oil. Nothing from the self of a store unless you're sure it came from a farm in Italy or Jerusalem. Somewhere where you know if it touches a factory it only touched a factory to be bottled. The both of you drink 2 spoons a day and after 2 weeks a shot glass a day and also preheat before boil and rub on skin. I'm not saying this is a cure because in my opinion it's God who makes things work or not(waaaay of topic lol). But you will both see relief in everything everything everything. And if your wife is like mine she might be too stubborn to admit how good it works but you see it in actions and literally with your eyes. It's definitely what's been keeping me strong physically. After being consistent just after a few days my breathing and bones felt more solid after laying for too many days and not exercising and my blood not flowing. After 3 weeks I had enough energy to go back to work because of feeling good (internal not too too much) but have way too much energy and focus to lay down and waste that feeling
I’ll admit that sometimes I’ve put my head in the sand because I was tired of dealing with doctors and paying for tests that find nothing. You can’t just go straight to the test that would diagnose most cancers, because of insurance companies. Do doctors really wonder why patients give up?
My lymphoma was in stage four when it was diagnosed . That was nine years ago so obviously I am still here. It was a very hard go and I do wish I had, had it checked out sooner.
Hello, hope you are fine, Lymphoma is difficult to cure like some other chronic diseases, Planet Ayurveda Provides the best herbal cure with natural herbal products
@@FBI-cl2cp Terrible. I had just about every side effect one could expect. But I was in stage four when it was discovered and very weak before chemo started. Part way through they had to reduce the chemo doses. There being some fear that the chemo might kill me. I later learned that the chemo did serious damage to my heart, which was in unusually good condition before the chemo. But without it, I would be dead so won't complain about the heart damage. It was a long recovery. I am and have been well for many years now, although I have a serious heart problem due to the chemo. I was 65 yrs at the time and that also played a role in how hard the chemo hit.
My niece was diagnosed with lymphoma at age 25 , she was a size (10 British size)she didn’t smoke. She developed a cough. She had chemo , radiation, immunotherapy, stem cell transplant. But sadly died at age 30 due to chronic GVHD. Graph verses host disease. Rip beautiful Katie .❤
Some drs are better than others. It took 7 months, several tumours growing on my head, a tremendous amount of pain, and many trips to “specialists” and emergency departments before I encountered a doctor who said, I don’t know what this is, let’s do a biopsy. I was diagnosed with large B cell lymphoma and finished treatment in January- one year to the day of discovering first lump. Still waiting for results. Apparently the end of April I’ll find out if treatment was effective. This is Canada. Would I do treatment again? Hell no!
@@kpanasmith6965 You’re absolutely right and I’m grateful to live in Canada but our healthcare is slipping due to greedy politicians and their cronies.
My family doctor missed blood tests that were indicative of some type of blood disorder. He thought I was bleeding from being on a blood thinner. My cardiologist asked if my doctor was following up on the anemia. She looked at the blood test results and said I was not bleeding. I told my family I DID NOT THINK IIWAS BLEEDING. .
@@kpanasmith6965my daughter had cancer. Third world countries are more experienced than 1 st world countries. She had the best care and treatment and by the Grace of God she is cured. It has nothing to do with the country👼
Hello real ICU doctor. I live in California and have had a TH-cam channel for 12 years. Before making this channel I tried to get this swollen lymph nose biopsied. Unfortunately every doctor I've seen even a few at the ER told me it was too small to worry about and to watch and wait. Even when I said I'd been watching it grow for years I was laughed off, several times. And I'm having the night sweats and everything you mentioned but then it got worse. When the covid pandemic started I had a really good and expensive insurance plan, but doctors were doing "visits" where they stand 6 feet away from you and don't touch you. The hospitals created a triage and release system, stopped doing many diagnostic tests and sent everyone who was healthy enough to survive the night home with a recommendation to go to a non existent primary care physician. So during this time I believe the most likely cancerous lymph node has metastasized. So I went to 3 ERs in California and one in Oregon, and explained in detail that I was concerned about lumps in my neck, breasts, and calyx, and if they do one test please do a pet scan to make sure I do not have bone cancer. I got one x ray and one cat scan with contrast (no pet) and interesting diagnoses. Apparently during the pandemic some people laid in bed feeling their bodies with their hands and felt lumps. The problem according to the Oregon doctor was not that I had lumps but that I was focusing on feeling them and because I'm from California I couldn't go outside without a mask. She recommended I go to restaurants and beaches in Oregon and ignore my lumps. Doctor, I now have been approved for medi-cal and apparently no doctors will see me because its insurance for poor people. If you're liscenced in California can you order real tests on my lumps like biopsies and a pet scan, if I go to an ER or clinic I'll just get dismissed again.
I hate when people watch these channels where we do actually respect the doctors' knowledge and we come to TH-cam to get advise bc we're ignored by our own doctors and we ask them a question but they also ignore you. I hope that your question is answered.
@@tiffanyhollywood2108 I made a video on my own channel and its called something like Adrienne Floreen is getting paralyzed by a tumor, I don't remember the exact title at this point but I went through hell and high water to get a doctor to diagnose the cause of this tumor in both Oregon and California and it's still there. It stopped growing, but it did not stop existing. On the other hand, my searches resulted in me getting suggested news articles almost every day with titles like "the doctor ignored her symptoms until she was diagnosed with stage four cancer or blah blah blah" like popping up in my news feed every single day. Maybe I dodged a bullet and my immune system will keep it at bay and the chemo would have killed me; but the "treatment" I was given is absurd, who in their right mind would tell a woman with lumps in her lymph nodes, breasts, and spine to just go enjoy eating at a restaurant without a mask?
Dr Mike this is an excellent video Thankyou 🙏 , my own daughter age 42 had this December 2022, out of the blue . I had no idea of the symptoms she was sweating at night , no lumps ,weight loss itching etc. and luckily he dr did tests and Hodgkin’s lymphoma was found early. She had 3 months of chemotherapy , no radiation. And atm she is free from it , although the chemo was harsh , 6 hours at a time ,every two weeks . For three months . I am hoping it never comes back, she has epilepsy as well, no fits , just funny spells. She had enlarged lymph nodes in her chest close to her heart , which was frightening. I just pray all will be ok for a long time to come. I hope people see this video and if they have such symptoms go and get it checked ….. it will save their lives . THANKS SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS PROPERLY.
I turned yellow from lymphoma tumor that had crushed my bile duct bilirubin levels were high. Had all these symptoms also, but I have had itchy skin for years and I had severe pain in my leg for years and shoulder for several months where big tumors were. But last PET scan and Biopsy showed no cancer cells
@@clarisacardenas9715 If it's jaundice from liver disease, I think the yellow of your eyes would turn yellow first. I've had my eyes turn slightly yellow before, but it's from a benign genetic condition called Gilbert's Syndrome that results in high bilirubin levels in the blood.
I brought my partner to er... he was 20 to 30 minutes to dying. He had stage 4 lymphoma . It is a miracle he is still with us. He had a lot of the symptoms you described. His lymph nodes were enlarged. Our np sent him for an ultrasound instead of a biopsy ... don't neglect those symptoms. Ask for a second opinion.
I have 4-5 things that could potentially kill me, and I've been to several docs. Every single one refused to do anything. Been 7 years or more since I got spinal X-rays, despite having spinal arthritis, scoliosis, degenerative disk disease, progressive loss of feeling in my feet/lower legs and lowered fine motor skills. But the hell ever. Sometimes it's not the patient not seeing the signs, sometimes it's the docs just deciding you're not worth saving.
Doctors need to take our symptoms seriously, instead of gaslighting us and having us follow up in 2 months with the same symptoms that they attribute to something else for another 2 months.
I had doctors say it was just my asthma. When I made a doctor refer me to a specialist if it was just my asthma he then said he needed to do an X-ray since I have been asthmatic my whole life. Turned out Al the upper respiratory infections and sinus infections were signs of Hodgkin lymphoma. One X-ray would have found it, instead it was almost at stage 4 before they found it. Then my oncologist did the same thing when I complained of chest pain breathing, finally he listened and it was 2 pulmonary embolisms. Doctors don’t listen if you have an easy answer. Don’t blame the patient.
It started with a small patch of an extremely itchy rash on the top of my left breast and a lingering cough. By the time I was diagnosed the rash was systemic, quite literally everywhere, and was coughing like crazy, using a nebulizer as often as possible. I was the rash was most likely some kind of allergic reaction. It was so bad that I couldn’t sleep. I was also diagnosed with asthma at 29. Finally my PCP referred me to an allergist for texting. He took one look at me and said ‘I’ll do the testing if you’d like, but I think you need to have that visibly enlarged lymph node in your clavicle biopsied.’ I was shocked I hadn’t noticed it, though I had been having dreams about being attacked by vampires. Go figure. So, they FINALLY DID A FREAKING CHEST X-RAY which showed 2 enlarged lymph nodes and a large bulky tumor sitting on my left lung. I didn’t have night sweats or fevers, no weight loss. I had B symptoms only. I knew something was very wrong. I was diagnosed with Stage IIb and had 6 rounds of ABVD in 2001. I recently went through it all again this summer when I had an MRI for new back pain in May. Turned out to be 2 lyric lesions. Multiple myeloma. Never ignore what your body is trying to tell you, and never stop advocating for yourself with your doctors.
One of my friend's had a rare form of non Hodgkins lymphoma ( can't remember the type ) with all the signs except for the itching. Problem is the symptoms were all quite vague and could be pretty much explained to other things, ie: sweats due to menopause etc. All of her siblings have had some form of cancer. A few of us, including my friend, questioned whether chemical exposure could be a cause, being that the parents were traditional Italians and were big into gardening. It was back in the day before it was known what certain chemicals did to you. Sadly she didn't make it. ❤
I’m so sorry you lost your friend. 😔 You’re right the symptoms such as night sweats, fatigue, unexplained weight loss etc. can be so many different things and usually when the symptoms or what is known as B symptoms start the lymphoma is already active and many times advanced stage, and if an aggressive form immediate treatment is required to survive. Lymphoma is a complex and complicated cancer, fortunately it is very treatable. Sometimes not curable, but treatable.
@@binladen2739 I’ve had to deal with cancer off and on for the last 8 years and been around a lot of people with cancer and hardly ever hear people refer to their cancer as rare unless it truly is a rare type. There are a few uncommon or rarer types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but unfortunately it’s not very rare for people to make ridiculous comments about things they know nothing about, your comment is a prime example.
Had same issue. Doctor said it was allergies after negative covid test. I kept telling him that cancer runs in my family and something feels wrong with my body. I told him i have drenching night sweats but he said maybe im sleeping with too many blankets. I had persistent dry cough, he said do you smoke ? I said my lymph nodes are swollen and they hurt. He said maybe you need another covid test. After test was negative, he said maybe your catching a cold. 3 years later I have a conjunctival tumor as big as my eye. Had to switch hospitals and get a better doctor. Finally going for biopsy in a couple days Had MRI and bloodwork that shows anemia. I'm ready to file a lawsuit for malpractice against the other hospital. They are actually known for being sued for it. Wish I knew before I started going there.
My dad was diagnosed stage 3 cancer of non Hodgkin's lymphoma on December 2007, it was quick and progressive becomes stage 4, in June 2008 he died. He was 63. Symptoms, we noticed that he was always laying on bed, sleeping, feeling fatigue, no appetite, sudden weight loss, there was a hard mass in his lower stomach.
My Mum,who died in May of 2021,was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2009,after a scan on her arm which had swollen twice the size,after a fall she'd had.I remember she lost so much weight,going down to 5 stone from 12 sone,and she was quite tall 5f 10,and the weight just dropped off of her,and seeing her in hospital,she looked like a belsen victim,that's what she reminded me of,if you've seen those pictures,she looked like death,it broke me seeing her like that.There was also the fact of me being told by a doctor that I shouldn't hold out much hope,something I was told he shouldn't have said.She was only given 1 month to live,but thanks to will and fighting spirit,not only did she survive another 12 year's,but she went into complete remission,and regained her weight slowly,but never to what it was.I wonder if I too might possibly get it
All right, this may sound weird, but I'm going to share anyway... I had an Australian shepherd who had annual visits to the vet, and when she was about 5, the vet started doing routine bloodwork just to establish a baseline. She was very healthy, but her liver enzymes were always a little elevated, but they were never elevated enough to trigger other tests. At some point, we also noticed the dog's breath smelled a bit like raw liver which seemed a little odd, but dogs are known to have funky breath. When she was 8, we discovered swollen glands on both sides of her throat - about the size of ping pong or golf balls, maybe a little smaller. As it turned out, she had lymphoma that had started as a mass in her liver. By the time we knew she was sick, the vet gave her days to weeks to live if we did nothing. She made it almost 6 months, which felt like a win because she enjoyed every day of her life that she had until the last day. So, my point in telling this story is to say that if you get bloodwork that is a little outside normal limits, talk with your doctor about what it could mean, and get it rechecked and follow through promptly. Don't keep putting it off and putting it off because you feel okay. Trust your intuition, if you feel like something just isn't right. And if you start to notice that you smell a little different, or someone tells you that you smell a little different, that might be something to mention to your doctor too, especially if some of your blood values are off. My dog's elevated liver enzymes and liver breath were apparently telling us a story that we missed, but there are different scents associated with certain conditions. This is just something to tuck away in your mind in case you ever notice someone's scent changes, especially if there are other vague things going on. One woman I read about a while back had a real nose for identifying Parkinson's disease. And diabetes affects how people smell. This doesn't mean you should go around sniffing people, especially people you don't know (!), but it could be helpful if you happen to notice a change in the scent of someone close to you.
@@alejandrarivera1087 You need to address this question directly to the poster. He won't notice unless you put @Cham C and then ask your question. Good luck with your dog.
It’s not sniffing but my niece who works at a nursing home gets a rash when she’s around someone with Covid. She sometimes knows before the patient gets symptomatic. She had COVID herself twice and had rashes both times which some what makes sense but have never heard of anyone else like this.
@@Runningfromtheherd @Alejandra Rivera I saw the comment you posted earlier about your 12 yr old dachshund and the similar situation to what I described, but I wasn't able to respond earlier. That's a difficult situation. You could ask the vet about doing ultrasound to see if they find anything that could provide some answers if your dog has had bloodwork that's outside the normal range. That was how the mass on my dog's liver was found. We already knew she had lymphoma though by the time they did the ultrasound. So, it gave us more information, but it didn't really change anything in our case. Some of the things you might run into if you were to ask your vet about ultrasound might come back to your dog's overall health and age. If they would have to sedate your dog to perform an ultrasound, the vet might voice some reluctance based on the age of your dog and concerns about how it might respond to sedation because it's older and may be more likely to have a reaction to meds used for sedation. If the vet were to have such concerns, s/he may not want to take the chance because the risks may seem to outweigh the potential benefits. There would be no harm in asking about though. It can be a pricey procedure, especially if they have to sedate your dog, so that would be something else to be aware of. Your dachshund, whether standard or mini, would be smaller than my Aussie was, so that might help as far as expense if you were to pursue an ultrasound since the meds are given by weight of the animal. It seems like when an animal is to a certain age, the vets can be less interested in pursuing more extensive or aggressive treatments. I'm in that place again now. I have an 11 year old border collie/aussie/lab mix who developed a large, firm, fast growing mass on his abdomen that I found in December, but I couldn't get him in for an appointment until January. They did an aspiration/fine needle biopsy of the mass, and it didn't show cancer cells immediately, so they did pre-surgical bloodwork in anticipation of removing the tumor, but that bloodwork showed he's in early kidney disease, so we postponed surgery and had to start him on a special diet to improve his kidney function before they will schedule surgery. In the mean time, the tumor is growing, and I can feel more, so I half suspect the vet will not want to do the original surgery we'd planned. I won't know for another few weeks. I understand your concerns about your dachshund. For many people, their pets are furry family members (raises hand). Mine are like little children who never mature beyond a certain age. 🐶💕
@@Jen39x That's pretty amazing and maybe unfortunate, depending on how bad the rashes get and where they show up. I don't know anyone who got a rash with Covid, but I seem to recall the Mod. vax had a delayed rash as a side effect. People did get rashes with Covid too though - just no one I know. I wonder if the repeated rash-triggering exposures will have any other impact on your niece either by triggering a heightened immune response against the virus, or functioning as a stressor which might be harder on her body. That's really interesting. I hope your niece stays healthy!
This is why you should never have an insurance plan that prevents you from seeing a specialist without a prior authorization from a primary physician. The delays from these types of HMO capitation could be disastrous.
. 2 docs missed it completely. High inflammatory markers in my blood just dismissed as everything else looked good. Developed weird allergic rashes, allergist couldn't find anything. Third doc was a resident at a hospital. Said take a pic of the rash. I did...she said something big is going on, we need to find out what. Differential diagnosis included three other things much worse. Surgeon at biopsy told me I won the cancer lottery, was pretty sure lymphoma. Yep. Mesenteric nodes and retroperitoneal. Onco said only stage 2 NHL abdominal she'd seen. Aggressive chemo. Retired early due to side effects (I'm a dentist, numb fingertips). But 13 years later and still NED. Yay!
For 3 1/2 years I’d gone to docs for swollen lymph nodes and had several scans.. was told it’s in my head and not to go to any more doctors.. they apparently spoke to each other about my relentlessness.. had all those symptoms too!.. finally they took a biopsy and yes.. you guessed it.. follicular lymphoma was found under my chin and both sides of my neck and above my collar bone.. stage 2.. bone biopsy was negative.. if they had listened sooner I wouldn’t have had to have radiation.. which causes lymphoma.. crazy!!
How large were the swollen lymph nodes? I just had an ultrasound on mine and they can back within normal range but its a new one I discovered in my neck. Ive always had them under my chin
@@rf6001 same. I have a lump under my jaw and got an ultrasound which showed it was “sub 1 cm” even though it feels quite large like a grape… don’t know how that works. They told me to monitor it and we will scan again in six months. They also found three nodules on my thyroid but I guess that’s pretty “normal” as well.
@@Random_Butts I feel alright and the lymph node doesn’t seem like it’s getting any larger as far as I can tell. I guess I just have to wait and see what the next scans show.
Fatigue is massive!!! And sleeping 20 hours a day and still being tired!! The slightest exercise will cause fatigue to last for a week instead of a day or so
This is so freaky, I had literally all of these symptoms but a lymph node biopsy and CT scan came back negative. I'm still freaked out because we had no explanation for what had happened.
@@jasonspaulding8397 hope long ago did you experience that? I got really sick in 2020 through 2021. I definitely felt like I was essentially dying, but I started getting better almost out of nowhere. I think maybe it could have been connected to smoking weed? That's a wild idea though, my doctor didn't think that would be the cause, but it's the only factor I know I changed. I had started smoking again around May 2020 and I quit around April 2021, that whole time and some months afterwards I was sick.
@@raeorion Mine started around 2019. The lymph node biopsy results were right around when Covid started. It’s very weird because some of the symptoms come and go and I can’t figure out why? Common themes for me have been body aches, with the worst being my neck. Also got checked for heart palpitations but just like my swollen lymph nodes, I was told they couldn’t find anything and just wait and see if the symptoms go away on their own “because they sometimes do”. I don’t think there’s any link for me personally with smoking weed, symptoms were there before it was legalized in my state…
I have MS, and took Mavenclad in March and April. In the last couple of months, I’ve developed large lymph nodes in my neck and subclavical area. It’s difficult to disseminate fatigue, since it’s a major symptom of MS. However, I haven’t felt “normal” after the two rounds of Mavenclad. My symptoms include: 1) loss of appetite 2) fatigue 3) shortness of breath 4) chronic diarrhea Mavenclad increases the chance of cancer. Maybe I’m overreacting? At least I have an appointment w/ my neurologist next week. But no one told me about the risks, until after I did my own research. I’m scared.
As a researcher, I have something to add. I have regular cycles of puritis, and a left tender lympnode agaist layrnx. My [own] hemopathogy slides show normal lymphocytes, but there is an uknown unidentified cell present, morphologically similar to a monocyte. It invaginates rbc's and ezymatically digests them. I believe this causes the itch, and triggers other subclinical discomfort. I believe it could be mistaken for cancer cells..but it is a human hybrid of either a type of fungi, or amoebae. It is has been observed by me, through specimen microbiology for a very long time. H. plylori is a possible cofactor. The only cure in my opinion is same intervention as cancer. Azoles have some degree of therapuutic value.
@True No Kill I don't encounter active mast cells. I have seen them in active state before after a bee sting, so I am familiar with the visual effects. I have found active eosinophils.
So do you think the enzymatically digested rbc’s are triggering a cytokine release response causing the itching? Have you been tested for lymphoma? Also H. Pylori can cause non-Hodgkin’s Gastric/MALT Marginal Zone lymphoma.
@Tammy Slaughter yes. Exactly. The metabolic action of these cells are very robust. I have video recordings of this. If they are amoebae, then it totally explains H. Pylori, because they carry the bacteria for multiple purposes, including proton pumps. That causes dehydration. Plus, the neurotransmitters are strong. They either elicite serotonin production, or, produce it independently. I believe they make many neuroactive products.
@@gregory4279 Your research sounds very interesting, especially the video recordings. Do you think if you eliminated the H. Pylori and the amoebae it would get rid of the disorder? I guess it depends on which one is the driving force which sounds like the amoebae. Or as you said in your opinion the only intervention would be what is used for cancer. Are you referring to an anti-CD 20 monoclonal immunotherapy which is used in blood cancer, or just chemo in general? I hope you find out what’s going on and get it resolved for your health. Good luck on your research!
Same here exactly without any symptoms I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer through routine medical tests. I am actually 32 years. The only thing I observed was swollen lymph node in the neck and on the first sight of it my doctor tried all non invasive tests and continue to the invasive test.
I’ve beat Hodgkin’s Lymphoma twice in 10 years. I was stage three when I found out because I hit a deer on a dirt bike at over 60mph broke 7 ribs on left side,left shoulder blade in half and cut my spleen.
That accident saved you, I have a swollen lymph node in my neck and my throat is sore, not sure what I have but doctors scanned my chest and found nothing and than told me I likely had an infection, it’s been about a month and a half
@@kiddspazz7700 yeah I was told I probably had an infection when I had swollen lymph node in my neck they gave me antibiotics but it didn’t really help so I went to an ear nose throat specialist and they took a biopsy of the lymph node doing a fine needle aspiration which was the wrong way to biopsy for cancer so it came back negative. 8 months later I hit that deer on the dirt bike literally saving my life because doctors did wrong test and when they did that sucking all he fluid out of the lymph node it made it small and normal again which possibly just spread the cancer faster who knows. I still had perfect blood work and no symptoms at the time and was stronger then I had ever been in my life I was 26 years old 6’4” 230 pounds and could pick up 10 ft chunks of 6” steel casing 200 pounds over my shoulder and throw on truck head height. The proper test is for them to use a special needle that takes a chunk of the lymph node to check for cancer if you have had that swollen lymph node for a month and a half I highly recommend you go ask for the correct biopsy. And depending on scan it may not show up. A PET scan is the test that they give you radioactive sugars in a drunk and when they do the scan it makes the cancer spots show up glowing and easy to see. And just because your lymph node is swollen in the neck doesn’t mean you couldn’t have cancer that’s below the chest. Hodgkin’s lymphoma stages goes like this Stage 1 just in lymph nodes Stage 2 mass either in top half or bottom half. sternum area is where they make the top bottom line. Stage 3 masses in both top and bottom. First time I had fairly large ones in both. Second time just in upper cause I caught it but it was in weird location they had to go in my neck through and down my wind pipe then out of it to grab the biopsy to confirm. Stage 4 it’s in your bones which is bad. And the biopsy taking a chunk of your bone marrow out of your hip through lower back hurts most people cry through it. My doctor said in 40 years I’m first person who didn’t flinch or tear up beyond squeezing my hand down on pads. He said it was extremely impressive also because I had the broken shoulder blade and all those broke ribs I was laying on as well. He was very adamant that I would of definitely died if I didn’t hit that deer because I was so strong that by time I probably noticed it would of been way to late since I was stage 3 and didn’t know. So go get the test it’s worth it.
Such an informative video. I am tired most of the times even after 8 hours sleep and have lot of night sweats. Though I am not sure about fever. So now I am concerned about how I should get this probed further.
After 5 years of excessive sweating that go so bad I became a virtual recluse, a locum GPlooked at my medication list and identifiedit as a side effect odlf ablood pressuremed. Stopped the meds, stopped the sweating and broken sleep and exhaustion.
It’s more likely to be the DOCTOR who brushes off the symptoms. My mom’s doctor didn’t even bother checking her lung X-ray (even though it was red-flagged) because he thought she was being a hypochondriac after coughing up blood. Four months later, when it was too late, the lung cancer that had been present on the X-ray had spread to her brain. She died quickly after.
Prayers to your friend it's happing more then ever right now and I know what is causing it in a high rate. The "safe and effective" treatment is the cause of it.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma last month. I have my second chemo next week and I’m not excited. The side effects from my first chemo were awful
I was diagnosed (after a biopsy and PET scan) with Stage 4B (widespread) Hodgkins lymphoma in 2017 after a really bad bout of shingles ...and continued weight loss. I started ABVD chemotherapy and - after two weeks - my bloods miraculously appeared to be coming back to normal. After 4 weeks I had another PET scan and the cancer had completely disappeared! My haematologist prudently kept me on the 6 month chemo course but removed bleomycin as it can adversely affect your lungs. At the end of the 6 months, I had no chemo for a month, then had another PET scan which again showed no cancer. In 2022, I was signed off as a survivor. I was treated free of charge by our wonderful NHS in the UK. (The only side effects from the chemo are numbness on my fingertips and on the soles of my feet caused by the vinblastine dosage).
Because of the healthcare industry, the huge workloads, understaffing, it is necessary to do pay attention to yr symptoms, write down the symptoms, when they started, how long you've had it, when do you experience them, and take that to the doctor. It helps because its hard to diagnose after one visit. Its not a solution, but it helps. For myself, I proved to my regular Dr I had a fungal lung infection, by tracking it, and I had been to the ER twice, two specialist, and I was getting worse. I thought I was going to suffocate and I was taking care of someone else. It was frightening. I'm alive because I did this.
I’ve had stage 4 non Hodgkin’s twice with years of chemo radiation and bone marrow transplant blessed that I am still here. Diagnosing felt impossible as I was in John Hopkins all children st Pete for 6 months with test after test it was only till they did a biopsy on groin lymph nodes by needle then took a bigger sample and a look at my lungs. Results came back and it was the big c. I am in remission for 12 years but struggling with the same symptoms as before. Because I am so long into remission I can’t get the testing to see if it has relapsed diagnosing was near impossible they almost missed it how can I get tested and make sure it’s not relapsed without seeing an oncologist
Just a note for the person or persons that upload these Doctor Mike videos. I am having difficulty hearing what is said even with my hearing aids on the highest setting. If this could be remedied in the future, it would be much appreciated. Thank Heaven for CC.
I had zero symptoms, except a lump on the right side of my neck for my Non-Hodgkin lymphoma diffuse large B cell. I was diagnosed 1A, the earliest stage. I had the lump for about 5-6 weeks before I seeked medical care.
I have had so many of these symptoms for years, but no doctor ever found anything amiss. This is my biggest problems with all this "you shouldn't ignore the warning signs" - like, all these warning signs are warning signs of basically any health issue. This is why I stopped informing myself about anything regarding health online. You always somehow find yourself with a new suspicion of cancer, a different one each time
Of course I want to clarify that my heart goes out to all the people who's lives were ruined or ended by this horrible condition! Even if this video and many more like it just heightened my paranoia, I see that it has created a place of discourse for your heartbreaking and sometimes heartwarming experiences. Of course talking about it and having all this medical knowledge has its place even if it didn't directly benefit me personally. I am always free to select the content which helps me the most after all
Have follicular Lymphoma stage 4. Symptoms were so mild that they didn't raise any red flags. Mild night sweats. Not sheet soakers, just would get little sweaty "man this duvet is hot". At times some pressure in the abdomen, but nothing different than sensations like upper intestinal gas. Went for a comprehensive physical (first one as Im 50 and heart disease runs in the family) and when having a sonogram of the abdomen/liver that mass was seen. Scary to think what I'd be now if I didn't get the physical.
I'm sorry to hear that! Have you looked into Turkey tail mushroom? It has interesting facts on cancer and used in parts of Asia with chemo even . Search in TH-cam. Best wishes
I currently have lymph nodes in my head and neck on the left side that are bulging. They've been that way since this past summer, so for months. A CT scan says they're "likely reactive" and not "pathologically enlarged" because they're 8-9mm. It does say the lymph nodes are more numerous and prominent on the left side of the head and neck, particularly at the level of 5A. Then it shows "fairly marked" heterogeneous hypertrophy of the adenoid tissue incompletely effacing the nasopharyngeal airway on both sides of my head and partially effacing the fossa of rosenmuller bilaterally. The doctor told me it's just allergies and I need to take Flonase, Singulair, and Claritin. Needless to say, 3 weeks later my lymph nodes are still bulging. No pain in them. They're kinda rubbery feeling. They fluctuate in size and are smaller in the morning and larger at night. Occasionally I sweat a lot at night and wake up cold with wet feeling skin. It's just not every night. I have unrelenting fatigue for a few years now that seems to be getting worse. I can sleep for over 10 hours sometimes. I sleep like the dead and can be hard to wake. I never feel well rested. I don't get sick often, but when I do it lingers for 3-5 weeks while everyone else in my house is better. I wasn't like this a few years ago. And even the tiniest common cold will seem to be going away and then it goes to my left ear at the tail end, causing it to be full of fluid and lose all hearing in that ear. I get itchy skin on and off for years now, especially on my upper back, neck, arms, and head/scalp. The lymph nodes bulging out are even itchy at times. After each of my last two pregnancies in the past 5 years I lost extra weight pretty quickly after delivery even though my eating habits haven't changed. I always used to weigh 103-105 pounds, and I'm 5'2" tall. Now after each of my last two pregnancies I only weigh 94-97 pounds. I can't gain weight even though I eat a lot of food sometimes. My TSH is normal. CBC is normal. 4 years ago I had blood work, but it cost over $800 out of pocket, so I couldn't afford to go back and have more done. My only abnormal values on the blood work 4 years ago was a critically low blood sugar of 54 and a lymphocyte count of over 4.8. Now my lymphocyte count is normal, but I feel worse as time goes on. People even make comments telling me I'm too skinny. The doctor doesn't care. They act like I just did this to myself and don't even listen to what I say has been going on the past few years. So I give up. Hopefully it's nothing serious because I've got 6 kids, and I can't make doctors do their jobs. Something just doesn't seem right with me, but I gotta go back to ignoring it because the medical system is so awful. I'm not buying the allergies diagnosis. Allergies on one side of my head and neck? Really? They might as well have diagnosed me with climb ate change or something 😂 And no, I did not have juice in the last 3 years as was pushed either. I left my rn career instead. So who knows what's going on with my body! It's in God's hands.
I was on the same boat, living to die until they finallt diagnosed it on stage 4. Living with anxiety everyday. It was the best feeling ever once i got the diagnosis. If I were you, go to the emergency room and make them perform every single test until it is discovered..

General practitioners are unable to diagnose cancer until it has progressed. They have to follow rules of sending patients through hoops to insure insurance pays. They are also taught the phrase, “ when you hear hoofs, think horse not zebras.” It basically means for them to think that most ailments will be common problems instead of something life threatening or unusual. However, this can be a grave disadvantage to the patients who truly are suffering from real problems. My cancer situation was similar. My friends and family tried to convince me that feeling exhausted was apart of getting older. My general practitioner and the allergy specialist she referred me to didn’t take the giant lymph node forming on my neck as a sign of cancer. I had to go to the hospital on my own to be properly diagnosed. You have to be your own advocate. Since going through cancer, I research my symptoms heavily. I try to make rational judgements based on the info found. Surprising, Dr. Google has been diagnosing me right most of the time and that is scary. Should i know my own diagnoses before the doctor does?
I had Hodgkins Lymphoma, took them 6 months to diagnose me. In the mean time I was told I had sarcoid, was dehydrated, faking it, etc. etc. I had night sweats, fevers, mass on my lungs (when I was stage 1), weight loss, cough, sob, tachycardia, itchy skin and rashes, and ALWAYS tired. I was put on Tylenol for my fevers, Bactrim, and steroids to treat my symptoms. I was finally sent to an oncologist 6 months later and diagnosed with stage IIIbS Hodgkins Lymphoma. Moral of the story, if you get passed around when you know you're sick, demand to be seen by specialist. Now I suffer from radiation fibrosis syndrome (started at age 24) with severe muscle loss in various regions of my body, including my neck and shoulders. So much of this could have been prevented. I also failed to mention I was in the military at the time, so being sick doesn't fare too well in the military culture.
I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma when I was 15. My mom made me go to the dr after having shortness of breath. She got me out of school early (my first day of high school) & the dr found a large tumor on my lungs. It was so big it had collapsed a lung! After chemo, radiation & lots of prayers I’m cancer free & 52!
Wow that was 37 years ago?
Yes! I’ve been very blessed!
Did they find it on an X-ray?
Yes

My 28 year old daughter passed away from this disease in 2009 and what you explained in this video was exactly what happened to her. The Lymphoma attacked her heart. She was air lifted to Massachusetts General in Boston & 9 months later passed away in hospital. She was pregnant and delivered my grandson before being air lifted to MGH. Her OBGYN kept blaming all her symptoms on her being pregnant. Her case is in the New England Journal of Medicine. I hope this video helps many people who experience these symptoms and family advocate for them before it's too late. I'm glad this gentlemen knows how lucky he is. God bless ❤
Sorry about your loss.❤❤❤
Sending love and light and prayers
Oh God that is so sad. I'm so sorry. Sadly health care providers don't listen to women and really don't listen to pregnant women.
God bless
Sending you prayers I'm so sorry ❤🙏
Doctors get upset when we ignore symptoms, but when we come to them with concerns about our symptoms they ignore us and tell us we’re fine. Took me *14 years* of being told it was all in my head, and then me dying twice at 15, and 30+ specialists that ignored me, for them to actually diagnose me with a genetic disease I’ve had since I was born!
And give aton of prescriptions that don't work
While they get a commission for each prescription
@@bladeedge481 the pharmacy company gets commission off of specific medications from insurance companies, through something called a pharmacy kickback system. The doctors don’t see anything from the meds they prescribe, and neither do the pharmacists. The insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies do.
So true. I am having with this my current primary care doctor. He agrees that there's something wrong with me but doesn't want to order any diagnostic tests for ruling out things. He just orders the same basic blood count over and over and tells me that since that is ok, there's probably nothing seriously wrong with me. My symptoms sound a lot like in this video. I have to visit the doctor again to see if I could get imaging done especially for my chest.
@@bladeedge481 the doctors don’t see a penny from prescriptions, pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and insurance companies do. Look into pharmacy kickback programs, they’ll make you mad. But the prescribing doctor doesn’t see a cent.
It's not just patients ignoring symptoms. It is also doctors not believing or listening to them. My friend had a lump on his neck. He approached his doctor. His doctor told him he would keep an eye on it. 5 years later Dennis asks the doctor about it again. Well, it was adenoid sarcoma. Good news is it's a slow growing cancer. Bad news is the 5 years headstart it was given was enough to kill my friend. Dennis was poor and not taken seriously and now he's dead.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hate that some doctors can be so dismissive. The hunt for quality healthcare providers is so tedious. He’d be here if his doctor took his concerns seriously.
"keep an eye on it" means come back for a checkup every 6 mo this, not wait 5 years Jesus Christ. Doctors aren't Gods.
@@destructorzz7197 Dennis was the kind of person that the doctor really needed to tell him that and/make him an appt for 6 months. He trusted his doctor.
Prayers offered
@@SuperPinklady08 Dennis was a good egg and his family are special. Sadly his wife died within 2 years under very similar circumstances and she was not taken seriously either.
I had it at age 25, I was brushed off for 9 months with symptoms like fatigue, itching , lower back ache, shortness of breath. I was told I'm perfectly healthy and to take some vitamins. By the end of the 9 months my lymph nodes got swollen around my neck and the doctor was trying to tell me it's normal until I lashed out saying IM.NOT NORMAL AND I WANT A C T SCAN !!! Then it was Ops your stage 4 B and we need to move fast ..... lost my trust in the medical system.and i only trust my intuition since then.
Same sentiment. New mole appear on my face and my dermatologist told me it is not cancer although hesitant I choose to believe her I've notice it's getting bigger. Ive asked my doctor to remove it and for biopsy. It turned out non melanoma skin cancer.
I am a,doctor m,self and do not trust my colleagues, with a handfull of exceptions. I have an admittedly rare Autoimmune disease, called Generalized Giant Cell Vasculitis and it took them 8 years to make the right diagnosis. My arteries where inflamed from my feet to my carotides and I needed twice w Inits of blood for severe anemia and thrn still sent me to the psychiatrist to ask ehether it was self inflicted. I was 59 at that time. I was treated for years for chronic pain syndrome snd depression, because of my heavy fatigue. My grandpardnts are 1st degree cousins and m, ehole family has rheumatoid kind of different autoimmune diseases. I also had a sicca syndrome and told them, went to three rheuamtologists, who told me naw the RF is negativ, desöite an ESR over 100. Finally at my third admission a yokng soctot put me through a Cat scan and then they saw all my arteries lighted up like a chriymas tree. Since then I have gained 30 kg because of the Crtisone and the extremely expensive Antibody medicine (Toxicilumab) does nothing for me. I lost my home ,my clinic and went bakrupt in the 8 years until diagnosus. As far as treatment is concerned after 2 years of aggressive Steroid and Antibody, therapy with almost no improvement at the contrary I decided to try Traditional Chinese Medicine.
@@christianefiorito3204 I was a high risk cardiology RN for 20 years and I hope I can use Chinese medicine only from here. I'm 56 and dealing with bad lymphedema to the lower extremities.
@@christianefiorito3204 I'm so sorry you went through all that
Ditto- except I was 22 and stage 2B. I kept going back to my doctor because the swollen lymph node that was “probably just a cold” wasn’t going away and becoming more dense. Finally was tested and found out a I had a ton of cancerous lymphnodes- neck, lung, down the esophagus and several on the larger side of normal in my abdomen that were about to turn cancerous and make me officially stage 3. I learned very young to be your own advocate- congratulations on beating your cancer! Wishing you all the best!

Husband had this and it progressed to stage 4 after doctors kept treating him for congestion and upper respiratory infections. Thank God for the doctor who caught it immediately. He had Non-Hodgkin lymphoma diffuse large B cell. He’s in full remission at 5 years now.
Exactly what I had, large B cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma…. Mine created a mass in my sinus which ate nerves, so my main symptoms were numbness in my face coupled with major toothache…was told I had cancer on the Friday and was having chemo the very next day…I was stage 4….been in remission 4 years, I was 40

What made that particular doctor consider the c word even after other health care professionals focused on his respiratory situation ? (I’m glad for the both of you that he’s in remission now.) I’m asking b/c my fatigue is ruinous and has been for a long time, and I objectively “look unwell” according to family & friends (unintentional weight loss and discoloration around the outside of my eyes), but most medical professionals I’ve encountered in the last 7 years they seem annoyed that I keep complaining (about health).

I was diagnosed with this particular disease 30 years ago. Went through the hell of chymo for six months, and one month of radiation therapy. I can still hear my doctor telling me that when all that will be over, I will remember it as a bad dream. I didn't believe him at the time. I had believed that life would end there, and that my children would have to grow up without me. Turns out my doctor was right. I'm still here. I was able to watch my children grow up, and is now blessed with grandchildren.
Whoever may be going through this, I tell you this: don't get discouraged. It's a type of cancer that is curable. Follow your doctor's orders, take good care of you. Don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, try to exercise, and most of all get rid of whatever stresses you out. All will go well and one day you will remember it all as a bad dream. I promise.
Thank you so much it motivates me, now i am going through 3rd chemo nonhodgin lymphoma rchop regiment i believe Allah will help me i am 25 i terminated my pregnancy cause i got cancer, i believe i will be healthy again soon have children,no stress anymore, i think stress is the primary cause of this cancer

I was diagnosed with hodgkin lymphoma at the age of 21 after 1 years and 2months with miss diagnosis. I had excess sweating, lumps on my neck and every now and them my right arm paralysed for lack of blood flowing. 6 months of chemio and 1 month of radio was the treatment. After 1 month and a half, the cancer was gone, not even the doctor believed that happened. Now I am 29. Be positive and nothing will let you down!
i dont think i can survive chemo. Just wouldnt be able to endure the side effects and will probably quit.

My husband had NHL in his 50's. The doctor told him he had allergies and to pull up the carpet and put the cat outdoors. He did that but symptoms got worse. She then gave him an allergy med. with no change.
I started researching cancer symptoms and made him go back to her and demand to be tested for cancer. His doctor would not look or acknowledge me at his future appointments. He was a vet and I think she didn't care if he died. Thank goodness for TH-cam doctors like you that give out accurate information.
Thank you!
That's a terrible attitude for a doctor to have, sorry you had to deal with that
Was it a veterans hospital?
Why would she not care about him because he’s a vet? I’m curious to know why you thought that?
Unless it’s a veteran’s hospital why in the world would he continue going to a physician who doesn’t care if he dies? Even if it’s a veteran’s hospital if she was that bad I would still do everything I could to make sure he’s in the care of a physician who cares if he’s dead or alive and more efficient as a physician. Just doesn’t make sense.
@@tammyslaughter9587 you clearly have no knowledge of how the VA works!! Try to educate yourself a bit before popping off. Many, many veterans cannot afford yo go anywhere else for Healthcare or meds, often due to being on non-VA disability that barely covers living expenses.

My neighbor was treated for pneumonia a few times in the emergency room. Finally, on one of her visits she actually saw a doctor that told her it wasn’t pneumonia but it was lung cancer.

So sorry to hear that ....
Very sad

This is why you get a second opinion to be honest. The fact that she was misdiagnosed for so long is partially on the patient. I was given a thyroid cancer diagnosis and the first thing I did was get a second (And a third) opinion. All agreed on the procedure (removal of the thyroid) and the cancer type so get a second (and a third) opinion, especailly if symptoms do not improve say within a week or a few weeks (as some do take time to go away).

My Son was misdiagnosed with non Hodgkin's Lymphoma when he actually had Histoplasmosis. They mimic each other. They found no cancer in his autopsy only Histoplasmosis. If giving antifungal treatment instead of chemotherapy at the time of diagnosis, he could have survived! Doctors need to be trained better to rule out Histoplasmosis before blasting with chemotherapy...😢

I discovered some swollen lymphs at the end of last year. I immediately went to the doctor and the doctor just touched my throat for a short time and said that she can’t detect anything. The bill came pretty fast but it was unsatisfying how she treated me. However, two weeks later I went to a different doctor and she felt my lymph nodes, did ultrasound and made blood tests which was all ok. I had a control meeting two months later and still nothing. But I really hate how some doctors don’t take you seriously when you have problems. That’s a big problem.
To end this story, I had another ultrasound of my lymph nodes earlier this month and it’s still good.
But what I have learned is that sometimes you have to go to another doctor to get a second opinion or even a third. Don’t be satisfied when you realize that the doctor did not take you serious.
Today in America doctors don’t touch you at all. It’s all blood work, machines for blood pressure, oxy and weight. Lots of pointless talk. The regular exams were always about checking limps nodes because it’s hard to know what’s normal and what’s not, especially since some lumpy nodes are there always. What’s wrong with American doctors???
@@SculptExpress-gv8jp German doctors seem to be the same because I‘m from Germany. I found a decent doctor in a bigger city like an hour away from me with the car.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2014 I had very similar symptoms. I also explained away the fatigue, night sweats and the deep pain in my bones. When I started getting large, painful bruises from doing something as simple as crossing my legs. That's when I scheduled an appointment with my GP & 2 days before that appointment I woke up with a blurry spot in my right eye, which ended up being a retinal hemorrhage. My GP took some blood for tests and set me up with an immediate appointment with a retinal specialist. I got a call a few hours later that woke me from a dead sleep. It was my GP saying I needed to get to the hospital right away because my white blood cell count as 450k! So take it from me: don't always explain away symptoms like the ones in this video. If it's a change from how you normally feel, go see a doctor.
I'm so glad you are okay now.
My friend who is a young guy in his mid-30s kept telling me he felt like his bones were hurting and he was seriously exhausted…eventually got diagnosed w leukemia and started on radiation therapy. Luckily it seems to have worked, it’s been over a year now.

@@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372 I'm so glad ilhecs doing so well! Those were the exact symptoms I had, but I explained away the bone pain as me just standing and walking too much at my job in a jewelry store because the pain was located in my thighs down to the bones in my feet. I also explained the night sweats away as me being very unlucky and somehow being perimenopausal at the young age of 33. Deep down I knew it was abnormal, but I didn't want to face it. Thankfully other symptoms like simply crossing my legs causing massive bruises finallyade me go to my GP. And 2 days before the scheduled appointment a retinal hemorrhage happened because my blood was so thick with white blood cells. Itcs been almost a decade for me and while I enjoyed a few years off my cml med late last year I had to go on it again because my BCR-ABL test, the test that shows if my blood has any cancer cells in it, started being positive again, but I was able to go on a lower dose than before.

Last year on April 21st was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My personal Dr was didn’t recognize the symptoms. He would tell me that it was just a flu. I was having the same symptoms, he would recommended me to take ibuprofen or Tylenol, to point where I become allergic to ibuprofen, rashes would show pop up, and swollen lips, and swollen eye lids. I had fever and horrible chills., the sweats were intense as well. Dr would send me to get tested for HIV and other test, but everything came up negative. Finally I decided to change Dr. The new Dr send me for complete test which included, X-rays, ultrasound, and pet scan . Thanks to all these new test Dr was able to find out wha was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with stage 4b lymphoma. Now I’m done with chemotherapy, and feeling like a new.
I wish you all the best
I will pray for you in Jesus mighty name.
I'm very happy you are clear now! I suggest you improve on diet exercise if you haven't done so already.
What is your Doctor name
Dismissiveness from physicians over non-specific symptoms is rampant and accounts for a substantial amount of people finding out what they need to know way too late.
I was literally throwing up for hours and days at a time and got dismissed because it made the doctors look bad
Problem is that majority of the signs and symptoms for some serious diseases are often misinterpreted by physicians or ignored by the patients. I live in NYC, working as a nurse and i cannot tell you how many times you hear: I’m so so tired! Stress in big urban areas is like air, we are all under a lot of pressure from bills, school, personal life etc; so is very easy to assume that the reason behind so many symptoms including weigh loss is stress. Unfortunately we will see more and more of this late detection patients, specially in big cities
You are exactly right!! I mean who doesn’t have or deal with fatigue? We’re so used to just pushing our bodies constantly almost to the brink. I will say the fatigue I developed with stage 4 colorectal cancer, and then 8 years later with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was debilitating and life changing in a fairly short amount of time. But I still thought it’s was from stress and work related fatigue. I would like to tell you I appreciate you and your profession, nurses are some of the best people in the world. I have worked with many as an emergency medic, and been in their care off and on for years as a cancer patient. Please take care of yourself, you are so valuable to this world.
What could be it, a tumour on the abdomen which spread pain in the upper arm like the bone is broken and the spleen also enlarged? The doctor didn't say anything to my cousin what is it, but doctor required surgery. My cousin suffered from gastrointestinal problem for over 25 years ago.
add to your list the blue light and disturbed melatonin metabolism. That also applies to the mobile devices we are hooked on 24/7.
Knowing that medical bills can land you in bankruptcy is a deterrent to getting symptoms checked out too.
I live in rural Indiana and stress and exhaustion are universal.
I’m going through now. Two days they drain 1.5 liters out of my back. This week I expect to get a pet scan and the biopsy. I keep telling myself to stay positive and don’t give up. It just seems crappy since I retired four months ago. Luckily for me both of my sons are MDs and my doctors are proactive so I am surrounded by good people I just need to do my part and fight like hell.
Meditation is the key with medical treatment..the body is a self healing machine but it needs to be in the right space... every day in every way ..I'm getting better and better...say it 20 times ,too yourself,on a daily basis..what the mind perceives ,you will become...
Drain what?
How r u today
I hope everything's going all okay now I just read this today ❤
A former neighbour, who was a smoker, died of Hodgins Lymphoma aged 54 around five years ago. This was 10 years after his diagnosis which showed an inoperable mass on his chest that radiotherapy and chemotherapy managed to stall, but not eradicate. His mother told me he never had any of the usual childhood illnesses and rarely took ill with even the mildest of colds prior to this.
In contrast, a friend's daughter who was a professional dancer in her early 20s was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2012 and only saved by cutting-edge stem cell therapy after all other treatments had failed. She didn't smoke or drink and led a very healthy lifestyle with no family history of any related disease. The last I heard, she was still well, all thanks to the amazing medical team who saved her.
Many times there’s no rhyme or reason why some people get lymphoma or leukemia, and why some survive, and others don’t. Actually that can be the case for many cancers.
It’s interesting that your 54 year old or even 44 year old at diagnosis former neighbor developed Hodgkin’s instead of non-Hodgkin’s because Hodgkin’s is usually diagnosed in younger adults. It’s inspiring to hear your friend’s daughter is doing well, and now they’ve made even further advances in blood cancer treatments since 2012.
Where did she got treatment.pls help
@@NarutowhatappGamer2.0 It was the Cancer Centre at Western General Hospital, Edinburgh back in 2012, who I cannot praise enough having seen them in action when caring for a loved one. The hospital has a cutting-edge cancer research unit who may well have been involved but I regret that is the extent of my knowledge. You can find links to Western General Hospital Cancer Centre via a search engine as the automatic moderator won't let me include it for you.
I had non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Luckily Stanford Hospital diagnosed it correctly because where I went to the ER when I passed out, they diagnosed it as Hodgkins disease. My symptoms were numerous but I didn't put them together or suspect I had cancer. Mine were: 1) constantly getting whatever cold or flu virus came along for a year or more, when normally, I would bypass most; 2) redness in the eyes; 3) rash around my waist line; 4) achy joints that made me feel like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, especially apparent if I sat for any length of time.
Weight loss or something also noticed???
I beat Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma after a heavy cycle of chemo. However after 10 months I relapsed with Bowel Cancer being the primary cancer but I had it in 4 other places ie sternum etc. Luckily after a stem cell transplant and further intense chemo I beat cancer again. I had a stricture in my colon after all of this and unfortunately the narrowing was too small for any cameras. They had to remove part of my bowel to be able to biopsy the stricture and rejoin my colon. Thank fully no cancer cells was found within the removed part and I am now in complete remission. Keep the faith guys and believe you can beat it just like me 🤞🏽
A friend of mine died of this when she was only 18. Still think about her every day❤
So sorry about your loss ❤
😮❤💕🌺
My grandfather has this. When he went to the hospital because he wanted to know why he had been feeling sick for so long and they were amazed that he was still alive!
He knew they wouldn't care until it was end stage.
May God keep away this type of Sickness and keep us Safe ❤️
God created cancer, why would he protect us from it?
Thank you for this. There's no 'fluff' in your videos. They're so good to watch. I've taken much from them. Especially the ones on fat and diabetes and associated aspects, but all that I view really. You're a good man!
Omg! You are spot on anout those symptoms! I had all of those symptoms when I was diagnosed with colon cancer years ago. 😮! I had a strong itchy rash on my belly, the fatigue was horrible, the fevers ,weight loss and fevers.
What are your other symptoms?
@@MsAchampion I had colon cancer too and I had the fatigue, weight loss, fevers and horrible night sweats. Also obstruction of my colon which kept me from properly relieving myself. I knew something was wrong, seriously wrong when night sweats and high fevers started to become more common. Thank God when I went to my physician he took everything I said seriously and scheduled me for a CT and colonoscopy. Results came back as a mass in my sigmoid colon. Surgery was scheduled and it went extremely well. The pathology came back stage 2a colon. I spent 3 months on chemo and now have been feeling really good now for the last 4 months. Actually I felt amazing right after surgery which was 8 months ago but the 3 months of chemo really slowed me back down. I’m learning now to not take life for granted and try to enjoy every moment no matter how mundane and boring it might be bcos it’s a hell of a lot better than sitting in the chemo chair in the oncologist’s office getting infused with Oxaliplatin!!
This is what happened with me. Fatigue and lost 12kgs. At first, doctor couldn’t find out what happen. But after several test, we manage to find out the culprit. Still on the process of recovering now
Did you have any other symptoms.i am on the same boat.please tell me
How much of your body mass is that
What is current situation?
A lot of those symptoms can easily be interpreted as anxiety. For an anxious person, believing their anxiety symptoms are something worse just makes the symptoms worse. And it doesn't help that most doctors refuse to actually see patients, preferring to just conduct a virtual visit, followed up by a prescription antianxiety pill. My last doctor visit a couple months ago was pointless because the doctor didn't even want me to remove my mask. The insanity continues.
These drs are so non caring anymore
Exactly what happened to me…so fkn pissed
After becoming a vegan and practices meditation I am able to control mine
Had HL in 2015. No symptoms except swollen lymph nodes and was misdiagnosed with tuberculosis for a year. Then started back pain after a few months of being on TB meds. Meanwhile also got a lymph node biopsy, the report was negative for lymphoma and since I didn’t have any other typical symptoms such as weight loss or night sweats, fever, itchy skin, they didn’t send the sample for further testing. No doctor (almost ten different docs in different hospitals) took the really awful back pain I had seriously or correlated it to my swollen lymph nodes. Blamed it on posture, mental health etc. Finally after a year of TB meds and back pain, a doctor sent me for MRI of spine which showed tumors all over. Then after a spine biopsy, they diagnosed it as HL and treatment started in 2016.
Hey I hope you re doing better. Can I please ask where did your back hurt and how did the pain come, how intense it was etc.? Im really anxious about mine.
How are you now?
My sister have non Hodgkin lymphoma cancer, she didn't have and still have no symptoms, just a little bit of breathlessness while taking the stairs. She discovered it not because of symptoms but because she was a blood donor for a while and had her blood tested accurately multiple times. I want encourage people to be donors because as you can understand you are not doing it just for others but also for yourselves.
ya since getting a dr to use their diagnostic TOOLS is like pulling teeth with no novacaine
I’ve had two friends in their twenties get lymphoma. One had stage 4. Both survived after treatment. Scary that they got such a dreadful disease so young. The one with stage 4 took the doctors forever to diagnose.
I am glad to hear your friends are doing well. I recently had a friend diagnosed at 28 with stage 4. He had no clue until he started feeling sick quickly. He has started treatments. I pray he heals and has a long future ❤️
Were they vaxed for C0vid?
@@LaynieLashesi think covid vaccine is First cause..feeling symptom.. Pray for me.😭
The case you uad reminds me of my son, only it was Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He was 19, working full time. After a short period of his gums not healing from wosdom tooth removal, he walked into the ER one day and was in our Children's hospital PICU that night. Crazy how life can change so fast.
On another front, my sister-in-law died of Hodgkins in 1989.
My dad just died of AML after being diagnosed with MDS like a decade ago. He opted to do nothing about it, requiring countless blood transfusions, a spleen removal, and various other issues in his final days.
Sorry to hear about your son. You’re the only person I’ve seen who has mentioned AML
I very luckily had a HL scare about 8 yrs ago so when my husband had a lymph node get huge suddenly I made sure he got straight to the Dr. he is currently in remission but I found it amazing that the Dr constantly told me married men are more likely to survive. Due to Covid I wasn’t allowed in most of the appointments but I was there for all the appointments I could go to.
While practicing in a student health service, I missed one case of lymphoma and diagnosed another that had been missed. In both cases, young adults with "swollen glands" and "bronchitis" were told to come back if not better. The most dramatic was the one I missed who presented with superior vena cava syndrome. Of course it was Saturday AM of a 3 day weekend. We had him getting radiation therapy before we had a tissue diagnosis. The one I caught had been diagnosed twice with "mono" over a 6 month period. He had a classic "woody" node in the neck. Both young men ultimately did very well. The axiom that "common things are common" can obscure the rare.
Addendum to my above comment. I also watched my husband (74) having a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that took 18 months, many medications (anti-fungal, topical and parenteral steroids, monoclonal antibodies)several specialists and 2 biopsies to diagnose. This is a very different disease and he is doing well with UV treatments. Ironically he has had several basal cell cancers, has been avoiding the sun and religiously using sunscreen for years and now he is getting what he has tried to avoid for years. I initially thought he had tinea (fungal infection), then possibly an allergy. It helped that his dermatologist is a friend, and his wife is a doctor. His main symptom was itching which was intense, kept him from sleeping and made him extremely irritable. The biggest annoyance was that none of his doctors was willing to just give him sleeping meds while they worked it out.
Hi! Please I need your help. The ultrasound detected a huge tumour in the abdomen of my cousin who suffered from gastrointestinal problem for over 25years now. The pain have extended to the upper arm. The doctor only required for surgery instead saying what is it. Thanks so kindly for your gesture. Remain blessed!
The thing is the rare things aren't always rare just misdiagnosed. It's AMAZING to hear a medical professional actually admit to a mistake. Yet if you had more time with this patient, less patients, and resources would it be missed?? The "God" complex comes out in about 50% of doctors intentionally and unintentionally who save lives and help people on a regular basis. A doctor told me that. That's why I walked out the hospital with a giant cancerous brain tumor. But thanks for the share♡
Thank you for your honesty.
I often think that people have an unrealistic view of medical professionals, believing that they should never, ever make a single mistake.
I really dislike that attitude, as you are simply human, like the rest of us.
I'm glad that both patients recovered.
Any suggestion?
I thought I had a hernia when I went to the doctor to have it checked out. My doc immediately ordered a sonogram of the area, and luckily - the radiologist reading my report told my doc the seriousness of my report. Luckily, it was NHL and I began chemo very quickly. I am so grateful to, and amazed by, the cancer care-givers - the doctors, nurses, aides, lab techs, and yes - the administrators who deal with the dreaded insurance. I was inspired when I was listening to the story of one the Olympic winter atheletes -- a very young man, yet he had Hodgkins lymphoma - which is treated differently than NHL. There he was at the top of his athletic game, but had to undergo many more months of chemo than is "normal." He worked his wasy back from the ordeal and was there at the Olympics.
So glad you are ok!! NHL is NOT like Hodgkins. I have a male friend who had it, and he Had stage four! I honestly believed he would be dead, until I read that the prognosis, even at stage four, is a 95% survival rate at five years and still over a 90% survival rate past 10 he got through it just fine. I’ve had blood changes recently and this is actually quite concerning
I recently have itching and a potential hernia near appendix. Where was your hernia?
Been feeling like I've had an issue near my left side for awhile, I have no appendix it's been out for years.
@@iLLmaticTrojan I THOUGHT I had a hernia - because of soreness and tenderness near my groin. Hope your"e ok.
@@laurasmith14 my doctor said there are hundreds of different kinds of categories within the Non Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosis! Yet, they are basically all treated with chemotherapy. I was taken and encouraged by a story of an Olympican who was diagnosed with the awful Hodgkins lymphoma. He was a young man at the top of his game when diagonsed with Hodgkins. He had double the number of chemo treatments normally prescribed, survived and did compete in the Olympics.
I just found out 2 months ago. Felt the symptoms for maybe 1 month and a half and was arrogant on going to the hospital at first thinking I had a respiratory infection. God bless the old lady at the City MD who forced me to go to the hospital. But everything is a blessing and things happen for reasons beyond our wisdom.
You will make it! be positive and dont miss any visits if you can!
Prayers for you!! 🙏🏼 Stay positive!! 🌟
@@sm1tty031 I swear I don't say this lightly or because of being "sick" but it's been a blessing in top many ways why? Before finding out I had lymphoma never in my life had I been feeling so stressed like the last 2 years of normal everyday things obviously bills, too working way way too much and not seeing any of my loved ones ans ECT ECT lol.
After finding out i have "cancer" "lymphoma" I laughed genuinely and felt relaxed in my mind like the stress of life all melted away. In that moment I said nothing really is up to us, we only have so much control over things
@@neverusedlines i know what you mean. My wife has never been truly sick. She is lucky but she stresses over every little thing. I dont. Life is too short. Thank you for your reply and I wish you life love and happiness
@@sm1tty031 lol side note. My wife makes me feel alittle "sicker" at times and moments that I already feel PHYSICALLY official, and that's really the only times I feel really not good. But I'm very sorry my friend. I don't want to sit and here male and female this. But women's are alittle bit more emotional and unfortunately means can not control their filter as much if that's the right term. But I promise you at my madest moments with my wife, and we're all human at the end of the day, I tell her I think you forget I'm physically sick, but one advice if I can advise you and thinking about my wife you will get resistance is Order REAL REAL olive oil. Nothing from the self of a store unless you're sure it came from a farm in Italy or Jerusalem. Somewhere where you know if it touches a factory it only touched a factory to be bottled. The both of you drink 2 spoons a day and after 2 weeks a shot glass a day and also preheat before boil and rub on skin. I'm not saying this is a cure because in my opinion it's God who makes things work or not(waaaay of topic lol). But you will both see relief in everything everything everything. And if your wife is like mine she might be too stubborn to admit how good it works but you see it in actions and literally with your eyes. It's definitely what's been keeping me strong physically. After being consistent just after a few days my breathing and bones felt more solid after laying for too many days and not exercising and my blood not flowing. After 3 weeks I had enough energy to go back to work because of feeling good (internal not too too much) but have way too much energy and focus to lay down and waste that feeling
I have a really great family doc. She doesn’t miss anything.
I’ll admit that sometimes I’ve put my head in the sand because I was tired of dealing with doctors and paying for tests that find nothing. You can’t just go straight to the test that would diagnose most cancers, because of insurance companies. Do doctors really wonder why patients give up?
We all have to advocate for "self", not learn Drs be " The All".
As a 3x HL and BMT survivor, this is excellent information, well done Doc 👏🏻
My lymphoma was in stage four when it was diagnosed . That was nine years ago so obviously I am still here. It was a very hard go and I do wish I had, had it checked out sooner.
Hello, hope you are fine, Lymphoma is difficult to cure like some other chronic diseases, Planet Ayurveda Provides the best herbal cure with natural herbal products
How was the treatment
@@FBI-cl2cp Terrible. I had just about every side effect one could expect. But I was in stage four when it was discovered and very weak before chemo started. Part way through they had to reduce the chemo doses. There being some fear that the chemo might kill me. I later learned that the chemo did serious damage to my heart, which was in unusually good condition before the chemo. But without it, I would be dead so won't complain about the heart damage.
It was a long recovery. I am and have been well for many years now, although I have a serious heart problem due to the chemo. I was 65 yrs at the time and that also played a role in how hard the chemo hit.
@@JohnnyWrongo-b9l glad you’re doing better friend

Some drs are better than others.
It took 7 months, several tumours growing on my head, a tremendous amount of pain, and many trips to “specialists” and emergency departments before I encountered a doctor who said, I don’t know what this is, let’s do a biopsy. I was diagnosed with large B cell lymphoma and finished treatment in January- one year to the day of discovering first lump. Still waiting for results. Apparently the end of April I’ll find out if treatment was effective.
This is Canada. Would I do treatment again? Hell no!
Good to be in an advanced country, than being in some parts of Africa.
@@kpanasmith6965
You’re absolutely right and I’m grateful to live in Canada but our healthcare is slipping due to greedy politicians and their cronies.
My family doctor missed blood tests that were indicative of some type of blood disorder. He thought I was bleeding from being on a blood thinner. My cardiologist asked if my doctor was following up on the anemia. She looked at the blood test results and said I was not bleeding. I told my family I DID NOT THINK IIWAS BLEEDING.

Hello real ICU doctor. I live in California and have had a TH-cam channel for 12 years. Before making this channel I tried to get this swollen lymph nose biopsied. Unfortunately every doctor I've seen even a few at the ER told me it was too small to worry about and to watch and wait. Even when I said I'd been watching it grow for years I was laughed off, several times. And I'm having the night sweats and everything you mentioned but then it got worse. When the covid pandemic started I had a really good and expensive insurance plan, but doctors were doing "visits" where they stand 6 feet away from you and don't touch you. The hospitals created a triage and release system, stopped doing many diagnostic tests and sent everyone who was healthy enough to survive the night home with a recommendation to go to a non existent primary care physician. So during this time I believe the most likely cancerous lymph node has metastasized. So I went to 3 ERs in California and one in Oregon, and explained in detail that I was concerned about lumps in my neck, breasts, and calyx, and if they do one test please do a pet scan to make sure I do not have bone cancer. I got one x ray and one cat scan with contrast (no pet) and interesting diagnoses. Apparently during the pandemic some people laid in bed feeling their bodies with their hands and felt lumps. The problem according to the Oregon doctor was not that I had lumps but that I was focusing on feeling them and because I'm from California I couldn't go outside without a mask. She recommended I go to restaurants and beaches in Oregon and ignore my lumps. Doctor, I now have been approved for medi-cal and apparently no doctors will see me because its insurance for poor people. If you're liscenced in California can you order real tests on my lumps like biopsies and a pet scan, if I go to an ER or clinic I'll just get dismissed again.
SO were your lymph nodes cancer?
Totally safe and effective. 100 percent safe and effective.
I hate when people watch these channels where we do actually respect the doctors' knowledge and we come to TH-cam to get advise bc we're ignored by our own doctors and we ask them a question but they also ignore you. I hope that your question is answered.
@@tiffanyhollywood2108 I made a video on my own channel and its called something like Adrienne Floreen is getting paralyzed by a tumor, I don't remember the exact title at this point but I went through hell and high water to get a doctor to diagnose the cause of this tumor in both Oregon and California and it's still there. It stopped growing, but it did not stop existing. On the other hand, my searches resulted in me getting suggested news articles almost every day with titles like "the doctor ignored her symptoms until she was diagnosed with stage four cancer or blah blah blah" like popping up in my news feed every single day. Maybe I dodged a bullet and my immune system will keep it at bay and the chemo would have killed me; but the "treatment" I was given is absurd, who in their right mind would tell a woman with lumps in her lymph nodes, breasts, and spine to just go enjoy eating at a restaurant without a mask?
The struggle for poor people is very real. Tertiary care is generally good, however.
Its doctors gaslighting patients. And then you have to go to 20 until you find one that will take you seriously . It’s exhausting.
Dr Mike this is an excellent video Thankyou 🙏 , my own daughter age 42 had this December 2022, out of the blue . I had no idea of the symptoms she was sweating at night , no lumps ,weight loss itching etc. and luckily he dr did tests and Hodgkin’s lymphoma was found early. She had 3 months of chemotherapy , no radiation. And atm she is free from it , although the chemo was harsh , 6 hours at a time ,every two weeks . For three months . I am hoping it never comes back, she has epilepsy as well, no fits , just funny spells. She had enlarged lymph nodes in her chest close to her heart , which was frightening. I just pray all will be ok for a long time to come. I hope people see this video and if they have such symptoms go and get it checked ….. it will save their lives . THANKS SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS PROPERLY.
How is she
I turned yellow from lymphoma tumor that had crushed my bile duct bilirubin levels were high. Had all these symptoms also, but I have had itchy skin for years and I had severe pain in my leg for years and shoulder for several months where big tumors were. But last PET scan and Biopsy showed no cancer cells
Excellent new on that last biopsy. 💚
What kind of treatment did you do?
I am yellow my skin tone is pretty yellow-I been very concern I also have an autoimmune condition .I am glad that you are fine!Stay well
I'm glad you're ok now! I had lymphoma as well and I'm ok now! 😊
@@clarisacardenas9715 If it's jaundice from liver disease, I think the yellow of your eyes would turn yellow first. I've had my eyes turn slightly yellow before, but it's from a benign genetic condition called Gilbert's Syndrome that results in high bilirubin levels in the blood.
I brought my partner to er... he was 20 to 30 minutes to dying. He had stage 4 lymphoma . It is a miracle he is still with us. He had a lot of the symptoms you described. His lymph nodes were enlarged. Our np sent him for an ultrasound instead of a biopsy ... don't neglect those symptoms. Ask for a second opinion.
Business partner?
I have 4-5 things that could potentially kill me, and I've been to several docs. Every single one refused to do anything. Been 7 years or more since I got spinal X-rays, despite having spinal arthritis, scoliosis, degenerative disk disease, progressive loss of feeling in my feet/lower legs and lowered fine motor skills. But the hell ever. Sometimes it's not the patient not seeing the signs, sometimes it's the docs just deciding you're not worth saving.
Fight for yourself. No one else will fight for you.
Doctors need to take our symptoms seriously, instead of gaslighting us and having us follow up in 2 months with the same symptoms that they attribute to something else for another 2 months.
I had doctors say it was just my asthma. When I made a doctor refer me to a specialist if it was just my asthma he then said he needed to do an X-ray since I have been asthmatic my whole life. Turned out Al the upper respiratory infections and sinus infections were signs of Hodgkin lymphoma. One X-ray would have found it, instead it was almost at stage 4 before they found it. Then my oncologist did the same thing when I complained of chest pain breathing, finally he listened and it was 2 pulmonary embolisms. Doctors don’t listen if you have an easy answer. Don’t blame the patient.
How r u doing
It started with a small patch of an extremely itchy rash on the top of my left breast and a lingering cough. By the time I was diagnosed the rash was systemic, quite literally everywhere, and was coughing like crazy, using a nebulizer as often as possible. I was the rash was most likely some kind of allergic reaction. It was so bad that I couldn’t sleep. I was also diagnosed with asthma at 29. Finally my PCP referred me to an allergist for texting. He took one look at me and said ‘I’ll do the testing if you’d like, but I think you need to have that visibly enlarged lymph node in your clavicle biopsied.’ I was shocked I hadn’t noticed it, though I had been having dreams about being attacked by vampires. Go figure.
So, they FINALLY DID A FREAKING CHEST X-RAY which showed 2 enlarged lymph nodes and a large bulky tumor sitting on my left lung. I didn’t have night sweats or fevers, no weight loss. I had B symptoms only. I knew something was very wrong. I was diagnosed with Stage IIb and had 6 rounds of ABVD in 2001. I recently went through it all again this summer when I had an MRI for new back pain in May. Turned out to be 2 lyric lesions. Multiple myeloma. Never ignore what your body is trying to tell you, and never stop advocating for yourself with your doctors.
One of my friend's had a rare form of non Hodgkins lymphoma ( can't remember the type ) with all the signs except for the itching. Problem is the symptoms were all quite vague and could be pretty much explained to other things, ie: sweats due to menopause etc. All of her siblings have had some form of cancer. A few of us, including my friend, questioned whether chemical exposure could be a cause, being that the parents were traditional Italians and were big into gardening. It was back in the day before it was known what certain chemicals did to you. Sadly she didn't make it. ❤
Sorry for the loss of your friend. True friends are all too rare.😢
@@1timbarrett Absolutely. ❤ The world was definitely a better place with her in it. ❤ Thankyou. ❤
I’m so sorry you lost your friend. 😔 You’re right the symptoms such as night sweats, fatigue, unexplained weight loss etc. can be so many different things and usually when the symptoms or what is known as B symptoms start the lymphoma is already active and many times advanced stage, and if an aggressive form immediate treatment is required to survive. Lymphoma is a complex and complicated cancer, fortunately it is very treatable. Sometimes not curable, but treatable.
when it’s cancer…. everyone always say it’s a “rare” type of cancer… lol
@@binladen2739 I’ve had to deal with cancer off and on for the last 8 years and been around a lot of people with cancer and hardly ever hear people refer to their cancer as rare unless it truly is a rare type. There are a few uncommon or rarer types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but unfortunately it’s not very rare for people to make ridiculous comments about things they know nothing about, your comment is a prime example.
Had same issue. Doctor said it was allergies after negative covid test. I kept telling him that cancer runs in my family and something feels wrong with my body. I told him i have drenching night sweats but he said maybe im sleeping with too many blankets. I had persistent dry cough, he said do you smoke ? I said my lymph nodes are swollen and they hurt. He said maybe you need another covid test. After test was negative, he said maybe your catching a cold. 3 years later I have a conjunctival tumor as big as my eye. Had to switch hospitals and get a better doctor. Finally going for biopsy in a couple days Had MRI and bloodwork that shows anemia. I'm ready to file a lawsuit for malpractice against the other hospital. They are actually known for being sued for it. Wish I knew before I started going there.
Hey just checking in, your story sounds similar to mine and I am waiting on a diagnosis. How is everything going?
Hope and pray that u recover completely ,though the diagnosis could hv been made early.
My dad was diagnosed stage 3 cancer of non Hodgkin's lymphoma on December 2007, it was quick and progressive becomes stage 4, in June 2008 he died. He was 63. Symptoms, we noticed that he was always laying on bed, sleeping, feeling fatigue, no appetite, sudden weight loss, there was a hard mass in his lower stomach.
Where was the hard mass? Was it visible or you had to feel for it?
My Mum,who died in May of 2021,was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2009,after a scan on her arm which had swollen twice the size,after a fall she'd had.I remember she lost so much weight,going down to 5 stone from 12 sone,and she was quite tall 5f 10,and the weight just dropped off of her,and seeing her in hospital,she looked like a belsen victim,that's what she reminded me of,if you've seen those pictures,she looked like death,it broke me seeing her like that.There was also the fact of me being told by a doctor that I shouldn't hold out much hope,something I was told he shouldn't have said.She was only given 1 month to live,but thanks to will and fighting spirit,not only did she survive another 12 year's,but she went into complete remission,and regained her weight slowly,but never to what it was.I wonder if I too might possibly get it
At age 10 I was diagnosed with NHL that had CNS involvement. Stage 4. My last treatment was 32yrs ago 🤘
I am also a NHL survivor. Just curious to know whether you got married and had kids?
@@neehajoy4597 marriage no, kids yes.
How’d you find it?
@@MyBeautifulHealth it took almost a year and went through 4 doctors till one decided to take a biopsy and test it.
All right, this may sound weird, but I'm going to share anyway...
I had an Australian shepherd who had annual visits to the vet, and when she was about 5, the vet started doing routine bloodwork just to establish a baseline. She was very healthy, but her liver enzymes were always a little elevated, but they were never elevated enough to trigger other tests. At some point, we also noticed the dog's breath smelled a bit like raw liver which seemed a little odd, but dogs are known to have funky breath. When she was 8, we discovered swollen glands on both sides of her throat - about the size of ping pong or golf balls, maybe a little smaller. As it turned out, she had lymphoma that had started as a mass in her liver. By the time we knew she was sick, the vet gave her days to weeks to live if we did nothing. She made it almost 6 months, which felt like a win because she enjoyed every day of her life that she had until the last day.
So, my point in telling this story is to say that if you get bloodwork that is a little outside normal limits, talk with your doctor about what it could mean, and get it rechecked and follow through promptly. Don't keep putting it off and putting it off because you feel okay. Trust your intuition, if you feel like something just isn't right. And if you start to notice that you smell a little different, or someone tells you that you smell a little different, that might be something to mention to your doctor too, especially if some of your blood values are off. My dog's elevated liver enzymes and liver breath were apparently telling us a story that we missed, but there are different scents associated with certain conditions. This is just something to tuck away in your mind in case you ever notice someone's scent changes, especially if there are other vague things going on. One woman I read about a while back had a real nose for identifying Parkinson's disease. And diabetes affects how people smell. This doesn't mean you should go around sniffing people, especially people you don't know (!), but it could be helpful if you happen to notice a change in the scent of someone close to you.
@@alejandrarivera1087 You need to address this question directly to the poster. He won't notice unless you put @Cham C and then ask your question. Good luck with your dog.
It’s not sniffing but my niece who works at a nursing home gets a rash when she’s around someone with Covid. She sometimes knows before the patient gets symptomatic. She had COVID herself twice and had rashes both times which some what makes sense but have never heard of anyone else like this.
@@Runningfromtheherd @Alejandra Rivera I saw the comment you posted earlier about your 12 yr old dachshund and the similar situation to what I described, but I wasn't able to respond earlier.
That's a difficult situation. You could ask the vet about doing ultrasound to see if they find anything that could provide some answers if your dog has had bloodwork that's outside the normal range. That was how the mass on my dog's liver was found. We already knew she had lymphoma though by the time they did the ultrasound. So, it gave us more information, but it didn't really change anything in our case. Some of the things you might run into if you were to ask your vet about ultrasound might come back to your dog's overall health and age. If they would have to sedate your dog to perform an ultrasound, the vet might voice some reluctance based on the age of your dog and concerns about how it might respond to sedation because it's older and may be more likely to have a reaction to meds used for sedation. If the vet were to have such concerns, s/he may not want to take the chance because the risks may seem to outweigh the potential benefits. There would be no harm in asking about though. It can be a pricey procedure, especially if they have to sedate your dog, so that would be something else to be aware of. Your dachshund, whether standard or mini, would be smaller than my Aussie was, so that might help as far as expense if you were to pursue an ultrasound since the meds are given by weight of the animal.
It seems like when an animal is to a certain age, the vets can be less interested in pursuing more extensive or aggressive treatments. I'm in that place again now. I have an 11 year old border collie/aussie/lab mix who developed a large, firm, fast growing mass on his abdomen that I found in December, but I couldn't get him in for an appointment until January. They did an aspiration/fine needle biopsy of the mass, and it didn't show cancer cells immediately, so they did pre-surgical bloodwork in anticipation of removing the tumor, but that bloodwork showed he's in early kidney disease, so we postponed surgery and had to start him on a special diet to improve his kidney function before they will schedule surgery. In the mean time, the tumor is growing, and I can feel more, so I half suspect the vet will not want to do the original surgery we'd planned. I won't know for another few weeks. I understand your concerns about your dachshund. For many people, their pets are furry family members (raises hand). Mine are like little children who never mature beyond a certain age. 🐶💕
@@Jen39x That's pretty amazing and maybe unfortunate, depending on how bad the rashes get and where they show up. I don't know anyone who got a rash with Covid, but I seem to recall the Mod. vax had a delayed rash as a side effect. People did get rashes with Covid too though - just no one I know. I wonder if the repeated rash-triggering exposures will have any other impact on your niece either by triggering a heightened immune response against the virus, or functioning as a stressor which might be harder on her body. That's really interesting. I hope your niece stays healthy!
This is why you should never have an insurance plan that prevents you from seeing a specialist without a prior authorization from a primary physician. The delays from these types of HMO capitation could be disastrous.
. 2 docs missed it completely. High inflammatory markers in my blood just dismissed as everything else looked good. Developed weird allergic rashes, allergist couldn't find anything. Third doc was a resident at a hospital. Said take a pic of the rash. I did...she said something big is going on, we need to find out what. Differential diagnosis included three other things much worse. Surgeon at biopsy told me I won the cancer lottery, was pretty sure lymphoma. Yep. Mesenteric nodes and retroperitoneal. Onco said only stage 2 NHL abdominal she'd seen. Aggressive chemo. Retired early due to side effects (I'm a dentist, numb fingertips). But 13 years later and still NED. Yay!
For 3 1/2 years I’d gone to docs for swollen lymph nodes and had several scans.. was told it’s in my head and not to go to any more doctors.. they apparently spoke to each other about my relentlessness.. had all those symptoms too!.. finally they took a biopsy and yes.. you guessed it.. follicular lymphoma was found under my chin and both sides of my neck and above my collar bone.. stage 2.. bone biopsy was negative.. if they had listened sooner I wouldn’t have had to have radiation.. which causes lymphoma.. crazy!!
How large were the swollen lymph nodes? I just had an ultrasound on mine and they can back within normal range but its a new one I discovered in my neck. Ive always had them under my chin
@@rf6001 same. I have a lump under my jaw and got an ultrasound which showed it was “sub 1 cm” even though it feels quite large like a grape… don’t know how that works. They told me to monitor it and we will scan again in six months. They also found three nodules on my thyroid but I guess that’s pretty “normal” as well.
@@DoctorSess how are you now
@@Random_Butts I feel alright and the lymph node doesn’t seem like it’s getting any larger as far as I can tell. I guess I just have to wait and see what the next scans show.
@@DoctorSess ok you will be fine from how many month you have this
Fatigue is massive!!! And sleeping 20 hours a day and still being tired!! The slightest exercise will cause fatigue to last for a week instead of a day or so
if you sleep 20 hours a day, you will be tired just because of that
This is so freaky, I had literally all of these symptoms but a lymph node biopsy and CT scan came back negative. I'm still freaked out because we had no explanation for what had happened.
I'm so glad💗💗 God bless you!
I had same exact experience.
@@jasonspaulding8397 hope long ago did you experience that? I got really sick in 2020 through 2021. I definitely felt like I was essentially dying, but I started getting better almost out of nowhere. I think maybe it could have been connected to smoking weed? That's a wild idea though, my doctor didn't think that would be the cause, but it's the only factor I know I changed. I had started smoking again around May 2020 and I quit around April 2021, that whole time and some months afterwards I was sick.
@@raeorion Mine started around 2019. The lymph node biopsy results were right around when Covid started. It’s very weird because some of the symptoms come and go and I can’t figure out why? Common themes for me have been body aches, with the worst being my neck. Also got checked for heart palpitations but just like my swollen lymph nodes, I was told they couldn’t find anything and just wait and see if the symptoms go away on their own “because they sometimes do”. I don’t think there’s any link for me personally with smoking weed, symptoms were there before it was legalized in my state…
I went a full year of complaining and missed diagnosed Ended up with 4-a. Was so much fun!!! Fml. Now it’s been 10 years
I have MS, and took Mavenclad in March and April. In the last couple of months, I’ve developed large lymph nodes in my neck and subclavical area. It’s difficult to disseminate fatigue, since it’s a major symptom of MS. However, I haven’t felt “normal” after the two rounds of Mavenclad. My symptoms include: 1) loss of appetite 2) fatigue 3) shortness of breath 4) chronic diarrhea Mavenclad increases the chance of cancer. Maybe I’m overreacting? At least I have an appointment w/ my neurologist next week. But no one told me about the risks, until after I did my own research. I’m scared.
Hey is there an update i would like to know
As a researcher, I have something to add. I have regular cycles of puritis, and a left tender lympnode agaist layrnx. My [own] hemopathogy slides show normal lymphocytes, but there is an uknown unidentified cell present, morphologically similar to a monocyte. It invaginates rbc's and ezymatically digests them. I believe this causes the itch, and triggers other subclinical discomfort.
I believe it could be mistaken for cancer cells..but it is a human hybrid of either a type of fungi, or amoebae. It is has been observed by me, through specimen microbiology for a very long time. H. plylori is a possible cofactor.
The only cure in my opinion is same intervention as cancer.
Azoles have some degree of therapuutic value.
Do you think that the mast cells are affected to cause itch? Blowing them all up?
@True No Kill I don't encounter active mast cells. I have seen them in active state before after a bee sting, so I am familiar with the visual effects.
I have found active eosinophils.
So do you think the enzymatically digested rbc’s are triggering a cytokine release response causing the itching? Have you been tested for lymphoma? Also H. Pylori can cause non-Hodgkin’s Gastric/MALT Marginal Zone lymphoma.
@Tammy Slaughter yes. Exactly. The metabolic action of these cells are very robust. I have video recordings of this.
If they are amoebae, then it totally explains H. Pylori, because they carry the bacteria for multiple purposes, including proton pumps.
That causes dehydration.
Plus, the neurotransmitters are strong. They either elicite serotonin production, or, produce it independently.
I believe they make many neuroactive products.
@@gregory4279 Your research sounds very interesting, especially the video recordings. Do you think if you eliminated the H. Pylori and the amoebae it would get rid of the disorder? I guess it depends on which one is the driving force which sounds like the amoebae. Or as you said in your opinion the only intervention would be what is used for cancer. Are you referring to an anti-CD 20 monoclonal immunotherapy which is used in blood cancer, or just chemo in general? I hope you find out what’s going on and get it resolved for your health. Good luck on your research!
Same here exactly without any symptoms I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer through routine medical tests. I am actually 32 years. The only thing I observed was swollen lymph node in the neck and on the first sight of it my doctor tried all non invasive tests and continue to the invasive test.
I’ve beat Hodgkin’s Lymphoma twice in 10 years. I was stage three when I found out because I hit a deer on a dirt bike at over 60mph broke 7 ribs on left side,left shoulder blade in half and cut my spleen.
That accident saved you, I have a swollen lymph node in my neck and my throat is sore, not sure what I have but doctors scanned my chest and found nothing and than told me I likely had an infection, it’s been about a month and a half
@@kiddspazz7700 yeah I was told I probably had an infection when I had swollen lymph node in my neck they gave me antibiotics but it didn’t really help so I went to an ear nose throat specialist and they took a biopsy of the lymph node doing a fine needle aspiration which was the wrong way to biopsy for cancer so it came back negative. 8 months later I hit that deer on the dirt bike literally saving my life because doctors did wrong test and when they did that sucking all he fluid out of the lymph node it made it small and normal again which possibly just spread the cancer faster who knows. I still had perfect blood work and no symptoms at the time and was stronger then I had ever been in my life I was 26 years old 6’4” 230 pounds and could pick up 10 ft chunks of 6” steel casing 200 pounds over my shoulder and throw on truck head height.
The proper test is for them to use a special needle that takes a chunk of the lymph node to check for cancer if you have had that swollen lymph node for a month and a half I highly recommend you go ask for the correct biopsy. And depending on scan it may not show up. A PET scan is the test that they give you radioactive sugars in a drunk and when they do the scan it makes the cancer spots show up glowing and easy to see. And just because your lymph node is swollen in the neck doesn’t mean you couldn’t have cancer that’s below the chest.
Hodgkin’s lymphoma stages goes like this
Stage 1 just in lymph nodes
Stage 2 mass either in top half or bottom half. sternum area is where they make the top bottom line.
Stage 3 masses in both top and bottom. First time I had fairly large ones in both. Second time just in upper cause I caught it but it was in weird location they had to go in my neck through and down my wind pipe then out of it to grab the biopsy to confirm.
Stage 4 it’s in your bones which is bad. And the biopsy taking a chunk of your bone marrow out of your hip through lower back hurts most people cry through it. My doctor said in 40 years I’m first person who didn’t flinch or tear up beyond squeezing my hand down on pads. He said it was extremely impressive also because I had the broken shoulder blade and all those broke ribs I was laying on as well. He was very adamant that I would of definitely died if I didn’t hit that deer because I was so strong that by time I probably noticed it would of been way to late since I was stage 3 and didn’t know.
So go get the test it’s worth it.
@@kiddspazz7700how are you
Such an informative video. I am tired most of the times even after 8 hours sleep and have lot of night sweats. Though I am not sure about fever. So now I am concerned about how I should get this probed further.

After 5 years of excessive sweating that go so bad I became a virtual recluse, a locum GPlooked at my medication list and identifiedit as a side effect odlf ablood pressuremed. Stopped the meds, stopped the sweating and broken sleep and exhaustion.
A high school friend, when they were in their early 20’s, kept being dismissed by doctors for months until they were diagnosed with Hodgkin’s.
It’s more likely to be the DOCTOR who brushes off the symptoms. My mom’s doctor didn’t even bother checking her lung X-ray (even though it was red-flagged) because he thought she was being a hypochondriac after coughing up blood. Four months later, when it was too late, the lung cancer that had been present on the X-ray had spread to her brain. She died quickly after.

@@max420thc yea right
I was diagnosed (after a biopsy and PET scan) with Stage 4B (widespread) Hodgkins lymphoma in 2017 after a really bad bout of shingles ...and continued weight loss. I started ABVD chemotherapy and - after two weeks - my bloods miraculously appeared to be coming back to normal. After 4 weeks I had another PET scan and the cancer had completely disappeared! My haematologist prudently kept me on the 6 month chemo course but removed bleomycin as it can adversely affect your lungs. At the end of the 6 months, I had no chemo for a month, then had another PET scan which again showed no cancer. In 2022, I was signed off as a survivor. I was treated free of charge by our wonderful NHS in the UK. (The only side effects from the chemo are numbness on my fingertips and on the soles of my feet caused by the vinblastine dosage).
Thank you, one more reason to stop procrastinating about the check up 🥰
Because of the healthcare industry, the huge workloads, understaffing, it is necessary to do pay attention to yr symptoms, write down the symptoms, when they started, how long you've had it, when do you experience them, and take that to the doctor. It helps because its hard to diagnose after one visit. Its not a solution, but it helps. For myself, I proved to my regular Dr I had a fungal lung infection, by tracking it, and I had been to the ER twice, two specialist, and I was getting worse. I thought I was going to suffocate and I was taking care of someone else. It was frightening. I'm alive because I did this.
I’ve had stage 4 non Hodgkin’s twice with years of chemo radiation and bone marrow transplant blessed that I am still here. Diagnosing felt impossible as I was in John Hopkins all children st Pete for 6 months with test after test it was only till they did a biopsy on groin lymph nodes by needle then took a bigger sample and a look at my lungs. Results came back and it was the big c. I am in remission for 12 years but struggling with the same symptoms as before. Because I am so long into remission I can’t get the testing to see if it has relapsed diagnosing was near impossible they almost missed it how can I get tested and make sure it’s not relapsed without seeing an oncologist
gods keep me aliving since my diagnosis. cause i tell yah some days i feel terribly sick for no reason
Just a note for the person or persons that upload these Doctor Mike videos. I am having difficulty hearing what is said even with my hearing aids on the highest setting. If this could be remedied in the future, it would be much appreciated. Thank Heaven for CC.
If that happens in another video in the future, try looking at the transcript located in the videos description. Should help.
again i ended up this part of internet and i am about to diagnose myself with some cancer.
I had zero symptoms, except a lump on the right side of my neck for my Non-Hodgkin lymphoma diffuse large B cell. I was diagnosed 1A, the earliest stage. I had the lump for about 5-6 weeks before I seeked medical care.
How big was the lump?
I had it for 3 months and they still send me home lol
I have had so many of these symptoms for years, but no doctor ever found anything amiss.
This is my biggest problems with all this "you shouldn't ignore the warning signs" - like, all these warning signs are warning signs of basically any health issue. This is why I stopped informing myself about anything regarding health online. You always somehow find yourself with a new suspicion of cancer, a different one each time
Of course I want to clarify that my heart goes out to all the people who's lives were ruined or ended by this horrible condition! Even if this video and many more like it just heightened my paranoia, I see that it has created a place of discourse for your heartbreaking and sometimes heartwarming experiences. Of course talking about it and having all this medical knowledge has its place even if it didn't directly benefit me personally. I am always free to select the content which helps me the most after all
Have follicular Lymphoma stage 4. Symptoms were so mild that they didn't raise any red flags. Mild night sweats. Not sheet soakers, just would get little sweaty "man this duvet is hot". At times some pressure in the abdomen, but nothing different than sensations like upper intestinal gas. Went for a comprehensive physical (first one as Im 50 and heart disease runs in the family) and when having a sonogram of the abdomen/liver that mass was seen. Scary to think what I'd be now if I didn't get the physical.
I'm sorry to hear that! Have you looked into Turkey tail mushroom? It has interesting facts on cancer and used in parts of Asia with chemo even . Search in TH-cam. Best wishes
May I know you got night sweats multiple time at a night or one time.i am on the same boat please reply me
@@jarraies4939 Usually one time a night. Wake up with a light sweat. I would brush it off as my blanket was too heavy. But it was lymphoma.
The nurse found fluid in my abdomen and my lymph nodes are swollen but I haven’t been diagnosed
I currently have lymph nodes in my head and neck on the left side that are bulging. They've been that way since this past summer, so for months. A CT scan says they're "likely reactive" and not "pathologically enlarged" because they're 8-9mm. It does say the lymph nodes are more numerous and prominent on the left side of the head and neck, particularly at the level of 5A. Then it shows "fairly marked" heterogeneous hypertrophy of the adenoid tissue incompletely effacing the nasopharyngeal airway on both sides of my head and partially effacing the fossa of rosenmuller bilaterally. The doctor told me it's just allergies and I need to take Flonase, Singulair, and Claritin. Needless to say, 3 weeks later my lymph nodes are still bulging. No pain in them. They're kinda rubbery feeling. They fluctuate in size and are smaller in the morning and larger at night. Occasionally I sweat a lot at night and wake up cold with wet feeling skin. It's just not every night. I have unrelenting fatigue for a few years now that seems to be getting worse. I can sleep for over 10 hours sometimes. I sleep like the dead and can be hard to wake. I never feel well rested. I don't get sick often, but when I do it lingers for 3-5 weeks while everyone else in my house is better. I wasn't like this a few years ago. And even the tiniest common cold will seem to be going away and then it goes to my left ear at the tail end, causing it to be full of fluid and lose all hearing in that ear. I get itchy skin on and off for years now, especially on my upper back, neck, arms, and head/scalp. The lymph nodes bulging out are even itchy at times. After each of my last two pregnancies in the past 5 years I lost extra weight pretty quickly after delivery even though my eating habits haven't changed. I always used to weigh 103-105 pounds, and I'm 5'2" tall. Now after each of my last two pregnancies I only weigh 94-97 pounds. I can't gain weight even though I eat a lot of food sometimes. My TSH is normal. CBC is normal. 4 years ago I had blood work, but it cost over $800 out of pocket, so I couldn't afford to go back and have more done. My only abnormal values on the blood work 4 years ago was a critically low blood sugar of 54 and a lymphocyte count of over 4.8. Now my lymphocyte count is normal, but I feel worse as time goes on. People even make comments telling me I'm too skinny. The doctor doesn't care. They act like I just did this to myself and don't even listen to what I say has been going on the past few years. So I give up. Hopefully it's nothing serious because I've got 6 kids, and I can't make doctors do their jobs. Something just doesn't seem right with me, but I gotta go back to ignoring it because the medical system is so awful. I'm not buying the allergies diagnosis. Allergies on one side of my head and neck? Really? They might as well have diagnosed me with climb ate change or something 😂 And no, I did not have juice in the last 3 years as was pushed either. I left my rn career instead. So who knows what's going on with my body! It's in God's hands.
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm just waiting to die so I've decided to live my life till I cannot .I wish you the best your not alone
I was on the same boat, living to die until they finallt diagnosed it on stage 4. Living with anxiety everyday. It was the best feeling ever once i got the diagnosis. If I were you, go to the emergency room and make them perform every single test until it is discovered..

Thank you Dr Hansen for this topic! Very useful information! 🙏
Agreed the doctors are looking out for their bottom line not the patient’s need and care.
General practitioners are unable to diagnose cancer until it has progressed. They have to follow rules of sending patients through hoops to insure insurance pays. They are also taught the phrase, “ when you hear hoofs, think horse not zebras.” It basically means for them to think that most ailments will be common problems instead of something life threatening or unusual.
However, this can be a grave disadvantage to the patients who truly are suffering from real problems. My cancer situation was similar. My friends and family tried to convince me that feeling exhausted was apart of getting older. My general practitioner and the allergy specialist she referred me to didn’t take the giant lymph node forming on my neck as a sign of cancer. I had to go to the hospital on my own to be properly diagnosed.
You have to be your own advocate. Since going through cancer, I research my symptoms heavily. I try to make rational judgements based on the info found. Surprising, Dr. Google has been diagnosing me right most of the time and that is scary. Should i know my own diagnoses before the doctor does?
When I go to the doctors office the nurse just googled my symptoms and points at the screen like “this is it”
nurse didn’t say anything to me. just looked up my symptoms on the computer and left with tinnitus pulled up on the screen
I had Hodgkins Lymphoma, took them 6 months to diagnose me. In the mean time I was told I had sarcoid, was dehydrated, faking it, etc. etc. I had night sweats, fevers, mass on my lungs (when I was stage 1), weight loss, cough, sob, tachycardia, itchy skin and rashes, and ALWAYS tired. I was put on Tylenol for my fevers, Bactrim, and steroids to treat my symptoms. I was finally sent to an oncologist 6 months later and diagnosed with stage IIIbS Hodgkins Lymphoma. Moral of the story, if you get passed around when you know you're sick, demand to be seen by specialist. Now I suffer from radiation fibrosis syndrome (started at age 24) with severe muscle loss in various regions of my body, including my neck and shoulders. So much of this could have been prevented. I also failed to mention I was in the military at the time, so being sick doesn't fare too well in the military culture.
Take good care Dr. Mike. 🙏🏼☺️
What is it likely to be if the swollen nodes are painful?
