- Discover how chemotherapy drugs use cytotoxic agents to attack cancer cells and the impact they have on your body.
--
During World War I, scientists were trying to develop an antidote to the poisonous yellow cloud known as mustard gas. They discovered the gas was irrevocably damaging the bone marrow of affected soldiers. This gave the scientists an idea: cancer cells and bone marrow both replicate rapidly. Could mustard gas be used to fight cancer? Hyunsoo No details the discovery and development of chemotherapy.

My mom has survived 2 cancers and is now on her 3rd one. Cheers to all the brave souls who's fighting this disease with their courageous heart. May all of you be blessed with healing.
Make your mom stronger through Usana health and sciences. I have known individuals who recover fast under medications while taking Usana to support healthy cells.
Good luck
May the Lord be with your mom and you yourself ❤️💖

Chemo is literally the most draining process physically and mentally but it saved my life, best wishes to anyone reading this and is in their cancer journey💛 please never lose hope
Chemo destroys many parts of the body. Some don't recover.
I've known a number of chemo victims that clearly lost I.Q. points to chemo. It destroys the brain.
There are much better treatments.
Chemo is one of the few treatments where the doctor gets direct kickbacks. Perhaps that's why it's still so popular.

I am 24 years old and just three months ago I felt invincible. The healthiest I’ve EVER been. I ate a whole food plant based diet, did daily yoga, hiked with friends, walked my dog daily- just lived a super active lifestyle. A month ago I got diagnosed with stage IV cancer. The cancer I have, cholangiocarcinoma aka bile duct cancer, is very rare. I was told only 10% of people with my cancer make it past two years. I have innumerable tumors all over my liver, in both lungs, and in my lymph nodes. I pray everyday for a miracle, and couldn’t be more thankful for science.
Do NOT pray. This is medicine. Your doctors will save you, at least they will try.
@@agustinbarquero8898 I’m not even a religious person. But every night I still send a thought or “prayer” or whatever out to the universe that they can find a cure for my terminal cancer. I am still doing chemo and think VERY highly of my doctor and always follow his suggestions.
God Bless you 🙏
Are you good now ???
I hope you are alive may god help you .
My mother died from cancer when I was 8 years old. I can’t imagine how sad and devastating that journey was for her but I know she’s living in God’s heavenly kingdom alongside others that have died due to this disease. I hope that those suffering from this can be cured so they can live the rest of their lives with their loved ones.

A girl in my class had lukemia, when i aked about her hair loss, she said that it's literally nothing compared to what she was really going through, afterwards she explained me how does it really feel being affected by cancer.
I'm glad that because of these modern technology, my friend is cured ! ♡
My girlfriend has had it twice.
She was 6 when the last time. She still remembers being weak, cold, the nausea, and all the other side affects.
Glad to know that she's now alright!
i really hope the cancer never comeback again to her. my step sister died because of leukemia. she was cured, but it comeback and worst. leukemia is one of the deadliest cancer.

If you know someone who's suffering from cancer, be there for them. If they don't like hugs, ask them what they'd like you to do for them -- even if that means leaving them alone. But never let them feel neglected or ignored. They need you. They really do.
That could be relevant to anyone. Anyone could be struggling with anything (physical/mental health, financial problems, family problems etc), so be kind.
my partner of 3 years is doing chemo. I needed to get away for a week, I was so shocked and depressed about the reality that it's gotten this bad. I'm a damn chicken for needing space away from him. His son is with him this weekend and taking him for his next treatment on Monday. I'm so scared but I'm joining him again on Tuesday. I want to be strong and am here looking for guidance on how to be there for him him without losing my own self. Thank you for your post, it's the first one I've found that's helpful to me. He has stage 4 prostate cancer that has gotten into his bones. It's raging.
Thank you for your advice 🥺🙏

I am currently in the hospital while my mom (52) receives chemo (Paclitaxel). She was diagnosed with stage 3c Cervical cancer in August 2021. She has gone through radiotherapy and brachytherapy as well. As of last week we found out the cancer has mestasized to her stomach and colon. She cannot eat or drink or pass gas for a week now. Please pray for us 🙏 it is also her birthday and mother's day coming up soon.
how is she now?
I was diagnosed with Anaplastic large cell lymphoma when I was 18 months old and had taken chemotherapy till I turn 5 years old. Born 1996, my earliest memories was battling cancer, very harsh and scary reality to wake up to as a child. Who knew cancer patients can develop minor PTSD, I certainly didn't, yet I'm frequently told they can. I wish the best for anyone is a cancer survivor or still is battling cancer.

It takes a lot to be a scientist I mean how do they come up with this ideas
I‘d say hard work, some creativity/intelligence and most importantly luck. We see this now, but there are thousands of scientists who fail everyday. Like biologists have one of the highest unemployment rates for university graduates in my country and very often they cannot conduct research for more than a decade because they simply get replaced by younger researchers unless they make a discover of sorts.
I don't believe scientist have innovative ideas as much as you might think they do. They mostly work on the knowledge others before them have provided and maybe even provide some knowledge to the ones that come after them.

My grandmother has had various cancers for nearly 50 years now. The hospital has become like her second home because of the number of times she has been there. The amount of damage the treatments have done is clearly visible but, even to an agnostic like me, it's like a miracle she is still alive. I think it's because of her immense faith as she prays on a daily basis and has a very strong devotion to Christianity. I can't imagine living through the kind of suffering she has endured for nearly 5 decades.
" various cancers for nearly 50 years"
A result of plants and plant-based substances in the diet, especially sugar...
I was diagnosed by Hodgkin Lymphomia when I was 18, it was in stage 2 proceeding to stage 3, I was really scared but chemotherapy saved me along side with radiotherapy and now I'm fourth year cancer free. But I still have some problems that I have to face. This is really good video that shows healthy people what it's like. Stay strong!

I had the Hodgkin's Lymphoma when I was 18 too! In fact it was reaching the third stage. I underwent chemotherapy and it saved me.

watching this reminds me of my late mom who passed away earlier this year due to cancer. she was diagnosed on nov 2020. i am still trying to adapt her absence in my life. it's hard for me to live on because she's the one who always pull me through my hard times. i miss her.

Always go to your check ups! A lot of cancers aren’t a big deal if you treat them EARLY!!! Skin cancer is a good example. If it’s found early, it can be cut out and it’s gone. If it spreads, it’s a death sentence.

Never gonna happen with the profs the pharmaceutical industry makes from these treatments. I can guarantee you that
got diagnosed with leukemia when i was 11 years old now aiming for 18 and cured. chemo absolutely destroyed me but it saved my life. emotional support is extremely helpful when someone is battling cancer. I remember when my mother would always put on a smile for me and make me laugh the whole day even though she was dying inside watching me fight for my life and the helplessness she always felt. but the laughter i would always have everyday because of her was insanely helpful made me forget everything and that i was fighting for my life. if someone close to you is fighting cancer be there for them even though it’s extremely hard and hurtful to see someone like that especially a close one still try to be there for them as much as you can emotional support is huge.
I am 12 and also suffering from leukemia and being treated by chemo can you tell how to survive the side effects of chemo
@@lakshyabansal8767 Do you get any medication for the side effects? I'm gonna be honest, there really wasn't much I could do.. Tea was helpful sometimes.. Most of the time distraction was good because I wasn't thinking much about my side effects and sometimes even forgot about it. But if it's really bad you should definitely ask your doctors for some type of medication because those side effects are so severe you really can't do anything against it without medication.
@@ingenuity1153 I am having a lot of stomach ache

Cancer is not true lol
@ʀᴀᴜʟ ᴀsɢ Technically true, but you'll die sooner anyway if you don't take it. The side-effects are nothing to scoff at but in exchange, you'll have a much higher chance of surviving.
Samit Nakarmi
Doesn’t matter how much it could advance there would still be no cure for cancer or most conditions though. People could build a starship that travel all over the solar system but med tech would still be the same level and only focusing on treatments.
@frostek He's right, you just didn't get it. The reason the vast majority of diseases don't have a cure is not because it's impossible or hard to do it. It's because it's not financially advantageous.
We live in a capitalist world, wake up. If every cancer patient got a miraculous cure and recovered instantly many corporations would go bankrupt. It's much better to just treat them until they either die or have the luck to survive. It's just how it works.
Try throwing billions at anything. It helps
"Every problem is boring until its your own" thats why i clicked here
Poor techno was the 5% that did not survive :C
I’m not sure but I think the type of cancer he had was more like 15% of people who got it survived, not sure though :(
Update, he had stage 4 sarcoma iirc so survival rate for 5 years is only 16%

I am one of the 17 million. It’s been a very hard 12 months... but I am now in remission. And I am grateful to medical science and all those people who came before me because my treatment was relatively straightforward and absolutely effective.
I am now four years in remission, and this brought some great insight into the treatment I got. My life was truly difficult dealing with physical and psychological side affects of chemotherapy, but I kept my head up high as this was the only way for me to survive. I often think back about how strong I was to be able to go through all of that. I am extremely grateful of the advancements in cancer treatment today and I can only root for even better advancements in the coming years.

BUT! fyi cancer isnt a disease..humans dont die due to cancer but with cancer..no cancer human may die..cancer is a survival mechanism..
My advise is to do diy liver & gallbladder flush..i guarantee u, u will cure if death isnt near u..
Ive seen many and one of them is a friend(suffered leukemia) who did what ive mentioned..6 days of organic non gmo diet..do it back to back as ure affected..he is healthy af..chemo only helps 0.21% on human body..u are ur own doctor..cancer hates sunlight, cancer hates heat , cancer hates oxygen etc..our cells needs oxygen..dont consume chicken, protein stuffs & sugar..u will be safe trust me..sugar is the no 1 that cancer love and cherish the most..it grows cancer..
U can be cured by sunlight other than liver & galbladder flush..but to get to the ROOT CAUSE of illness is flushing..
Doctors only talk to u based in their practiced license..i can assure u, the root cause of problem is our liver..
Believe it or not, ur call..im just sharing..im not uttering rubbish..its all based on my own experiences and thats why i hate the monsantos, the pharmaceutical industries..
If u think ure up for it, check this guy out..he is dead at 2012 and his cause of death cannot be exposed neither his family members..Andreas Moritz(German Guy)..this diy flushing has been done 3000+ yrs ago at the pharoah's time..but modern era doesnt expose it..cos hospital industries wont make money if all of the people knew abt this..doctor doesnt cure u..only u could cure urself..positive mind do play a part..positive mind will get a healthy body in certain issues..psychosomatic matter..

Chemo unfortunately couldn't save a legend. Was amputating his hand a better choice? Would he have been alive if he chose to amputate. R.I.P bloodgod
Rip The king of Minecraft
I think his cancer is already in the highest stage which mean the cancer is already spread to all his body and amputating his hand isnt the best choice (im not a doctor dont take this seriously but thats what i think)
Rip bloodgod, a legend gone too soon
Once cancer reaches stage 4 it has entered the blood stream and has spread to other organs. Unfortunately at that point amputation wouldn’t have done anything.
My mom died from ovarian cancer. It came for me when I was a kid in the form of brain cancer. It grew back once, spread to my spine, and left me paralyzed from the waist down for just over 3 years. I flipping hate this disease, but I love how it ties us all together
Chemotherapy can also be used to treat other non-cancer diseases, such as some autoimmune or rheumatic diseases like severe or treatment resistant forms of systemic lupus erythematous or rheumatoid arthritis. It is used in those cases as an immunosuppressant :)
Lupus
Yup! Also Aplastic anaemia
Got my Pineal Germinoma treated with Chemo and Radio.

@@rakeshhubert3031 there are many many drugs that don't work nearly 100%. This doesn't mean the drug is useless. Every time something like chemo is prescribed, it's always a calculation of risk vs. benefit (basically, does the possible benefits of the drug outweigh the possible negative side effects). As anyone who has been on chemo (including me) will tell you, your doctor will never say chemo is guaranteed to work. But for something as deadly or debilitating as cancer or severe autoimmune diseases, you will try it. This is not only the case with chemo, but so many other drugs. If a drug needs to work 100% to be approved then so many medications which are vitally important for many people would be banned.
As a cancer survivor of leukemia that has been treated with chemotherapy, I can really now see how chemotherapy works. I have experienced these symptoms before, and it’s amazing to see how the chemotherapy system works. It’s even amazing that it was once a weapon. I am now in remission :D

A big thank you to all the people involved into the research and medical progress against cancers!
Going through chemotherapy sucked big time. Side effects were awful: nausea, fatigue, short term memory problems, neuropathy, dimished appetite, hair loss. Being cured of my cancer was worth it. I asked my oncologist what the 10 years survival rate was for this type of cancer. She said 2 out of three. On December 30, it will be 10 years post chemo. Glad to be here to talk about it.
Those of you going through chemo now, stay strong. I hope to see you on the other side.💕💕💕💕
would you do it again if you come out of remission?
@@lolbots Well, the body part affected was removed, so I can't get cancer there again. ☺ I decided some time ago that if I ever had to go through chemo again, I could do it. It was a short term hardship for a long term gain. However, there are cancers that require long term treatment. I hope I never have to find out first hand.
U gud nao?
How are you doing now? I hope all’s well.
Was diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma in December of 2017. Going through my third round of chemotherapy right now, had a relapse six weeks ago, everything was going fine. You truly never know what is around the corner. I'm so grateful for all the scientists that invented and discovered the treatment I am getting. Even if it makes me feel terrible and is literally poisoning me, it's saving my life. 2020 will be a great year again I know it. To anyone else battling cancer, hang in there! Even if no one else understands, I understand! Take care people and treat each other with respect. You never know what people are going through.
You need to humble yourself and thank God. Diseases and cures come from Him.
how are you now? 2 years later?
My cousin will be ringing the bell tommorow, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (a rare form of bonce cancer) last summer. Love ya girl
Excellent explanation of chemotherapy. It didn't save my loved ones but it certainly extended their lives without it by over 2 times. I'm truly grateful for that.
Lucky enough to be part of that 60% AML patients in remission. To all other cancer patients out there, continue being brave 💪💪💪
My aunt died of cancer and I don't know this is what she's been through. I hope in the future we found a permanent cure to cancer.
That depends on funding as well. Research is expensive and this field is saturated.
alot i assume u knew the truth abt chemo..🤭
Hatori Zenzo
Permanently cure sound a bad business for pharmaceutical companies and oncologist. At best there’s just gonna be better treatment in the future but curing is not on drs/scientists and pharmaceuticals companies focus.
Sorry to break to you but it’s call reality of people business- I know is dark but can’t say anything but have faith and pray not to get cancer I guess.
i feel you. my aunt died of cancer last week. couldn't even attend her funeral because of COVID-19 lockdown. we live in different states. my cousin couldn't even attend his own mother's funeral since he lived in a difft state for college.
Scientists predict that we will have nano factories by 2050-2060
These factories produce nanobots which have the potential to eliminate cancer and all bad diseases such as HIV and AIDS across the board. Scientists are also looking at modifying certain cells to act as biological nanobots which can also do the same thing if given the proper programming. Imagine going to the doctor and getting a yearly inoculation of nanobots which pretty much prevent you from dying even in old age due to diseases or other natural causes. The only thing that would kill you in that instance would be age itself, and maybe not even then as we come closer to artificially printing organs and limbs. It may be as easy as a doctor taking your stem cells and printing an organ for you which cannot be rejected by your body due to the fact it was made using your own cells. Between that and neurolink, we are on the precipice of a golden age. If we don't destroy ourselves before that.
Felt thankful after watching this video. Kudos to the scientists and others who were involved in discovering this chemotherapy treatment. May god bless them always. My mother did undergo this treatment twice and she recovered.
I pray to all those who are suffering from cancer. May they be healed
My mom..
when i was in grade 8 i.e 12 years ago got cancer which was her 3rd stage..
She fought with it..
Hatsoff to every cancer survirors..
I love how people in this comment section are giving encouraging words for Cancer Patients rn hoping someone might read it and feel positive. Let's keep up this energy!!
In 2012 I was diagnosed with lymphoma.
I was part of a study and received chemotherapy. I experienced fatigue and lost my hair, but many negative side effects like vomiting were kept down because of newly developed pharmaceuticals.
Being diagnosed with cancer and receiving chemotherapy is a terrible time to go through. Luckily, I managed to get rid of the cancer and was able to recover quickly.
I'm proud that I've been part of the study, because I took advantage of the experience patients have made before me and I hope my treatment produced valuable data which helps patients in the future.
However, doctors should never forget the psychological aspects of this disease and should start psychotherapy as soon as possible.
Thank you for this interesting video!
My mom never had cancer in her life but she received chemo as a treatment for her infertility. She has never told me what she had, just that she received chemo for almost 2 years and wait some time more until she could have babies. She lost her hair and had other side effects during that time and I can't imagine living through this, at least not in her position with all her body "healthy" and just because I can't have babies, it requires so much strength.
For this and more I admire and love her, thanks mom for fighting for me even when I didn't exist.
My mom was recently diagnosed with cancer, she was operated asap, now she is undergoing chemotherapy, this video was really helpful understanding the process better, thank you TEDEd, also I could totally relate with the initial quote stated “cut it, burn it, poison it” there should be more alternatives
I survived lingual tonsil cancer ten years ago. Eight months chemotherapy and 37 applications of radiation. There were some dark days in there but was told that my positive attitude and will to lived brought me through. Anyone with cancer please know that a good positive attitude will carry you a long way no matter how dark the days get.
I'm with my partner of 3 years who's cancer is suddenly raging and he's about to get his 2nd round of chemo. We're both very depressed and scared. we've also been told that a positive attitude helps but it's so hard to maintain one for more than 5 minutes. How did you do it?
@@cyndimoring9389 -well one thing I'm a Christian. My faith brought me through it. Romans 8:31 says: if God be for us who can be against you? You have to condition your mind to thinking positive. Things will get better.
@@jimmybaker2845 While not a churchgoer, I have strong spiritual faith. I agree we have to discipline ourselves to aim for the positive outcome. My partner has a strong will to live. We're in this together. Thank you for replying.
My aunt, my grandfather and my mom died from cancer. And I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2019 and now I’m undergoing chemotherapy.
How are you now?
@@meias. I’m a lot better better now. Thank you for asking 🙂
@@CiciBellina that's awesome to hear. If "a Lot better" means that it isn't fully gone yet, i hope that it gets better, if it means that you are healed, i hope that things will stay that Way :)
My Grandma just started chemotherapy for blood cancer. Thank you for providing this very insighful and easy to understand explanation into what she is going through. Sharing this video with my family.
@makhina makhinaNo she passed away unfortunately. The cancer had spread throughout her body.
I’m currently undergoing chemo for testicular cancer, thankfully this stuff exists, and for me it’s only one round to prevent a recurrence, but respect to those who suffer through round after round of this treatment, it’s not easy.
My brother survived leukemia. Can't be more thankful for the people who do this research.
As a person who has cancer i had to click
Get well soon. Best wishes for a good life my friend.
God bless you
Thank you
Funny they mention testicular cancer which is what i have. From what i understand the doctors I'm working worth are excited about to new drug that targets a cells with a specific protein which is found in testicular cancer cells
Condolence my friend.
I went through heavy chemotherapy, I got cancer, it's a very difficult process After the 5th or 10th cycle, your body gets used to it and you start not to vomit, your hair is falling out and your psychology is deteriorating, I hope everyone who survives will get through this process, be positive
I appreciate this explanation very much.
I used to gullibly believe those who said that chemotherapy did more harm than good and that you should only treat cancer with natural solutions. The problem is that professionals often simply dismiss concerns and questions that are brought up, and make fun of those who fall for misinformation. Videos like this take a good nonjudgmental approach to giving the facts; including benefits and side effects.
Reading the comments in this video really humbles you, cancer is something you forget about but it brings so much pain, makes me want to start eating better and have a healthier lifestyle, wish everyone luck
My grandmother went through cancer. But, she was much more lucky than others and beat it. I'm sorry for those who have lost loved ones to cancer.
My grandfather went through esophagus cancer and starvation to death and then my grandfather passed away from esophagus cancer and starvation to death on October 31,2018.
Ashley Jackson Wait that was the day after my tenth birthday. I can't imagine the pain he'd have to gone through. May his soul rest in peace.
My grandfather Beat it to, just a few months ago. I wish everyone who is batteling any Kind of illness all the luck in the world, and i hope the best for everyone with loved ones batteling deseases Like it, Or just people who have lost loved ones
I've known for years that my mother has a tumor near her spinalcord but only recently found out that it's gotten worse and now she started chemo. She was trying to hide it from me and every one else because she didn't want us to be worried. Even worse is that my parents are divorced and that she lives in a different country :(. It's so hard for her. And also she has lost her mother (my grandma) less then two years ago. She was the closest to her and one of the few things she had. I just wish everyone to stay healthy, never give up and be grateful for what you have.
Exactly
I'm so sorry for those who have lost their life to cancer. And I'm so proud of those who have survived, keep pushing towards in life.
Those battling cancer atm, you are stronger than what you think, don't give up.
My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, but after chemo and surgery she is totally healthy now.
Unfortunatelly my family has a longer history with cancer, but that's why i like to learn about new treatments and breakthroughs in research.
Thank you Ted Talks for this video. My brother is undergoing chemo therapy right now. He’s on his last course of medication. I thank all the amazing researchers, doctors and caretakers in the world who’ve been doing their best to help cancer patients. You’re doing the Gods’ work.
As a childhood cancer survivor, I hope no one have to go through this and yet, daily, many are diagnosed with this. Really hope solutions could be found.
thank you for recovering
thank you... this video helped me show my daughter whats going on in her body and why chemo is so "painful". thank you for this.....
My moms friend is going through chemo right now so this helped me understand what she’s going through more.
Wow. My Mom is going through chemo right now and is fighting brain cancer. This helps me to understand it all. God bless everyone who has or had cancer.
According to the Journal of Clinical Oncology, chemotherapy does not work nearly 100% of the time? Any other drug would be banned?
@@rakeshhubert3031 just stop. What would you do if it was your only alternative?
the amount of respect i have for the people in the comments man.. you guys are warriors for fighting cancer God bless yall
My dad was diagnosed with cancer when I was 5 years old. He went into chemo not long after and I saw in person the healthy sporty man my dad ounce was to become a sucked up bed bound patient. Even though they only gave him months to live, God was merciful to give him 3 more years to live. Even though he wasn’t my father for a long time, his presence and support he gave me of those years will always remain with me. Forever will he be my father and forever will I love him. For those suffering from this illness or a family member of yours stay strong and cherish every moment you have with them. ❤
My mother was diagnosed in 2015. Did chemo, radiation, masectomy/lymphadenectomy, took various alternative holistic medications but eventually succumbed to this awful disease. It seemed like nothing would work and she remained positive until the end.
R.i.p mom 2017.
Yo, Ted-Ed; if you keep up this kind of content, you’re gonna make my synapses multiply rapidly!
My Grandmother(2nd time) and Older friend are both undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer. Wishing them luck
good luck for them
being a cancer patient who now looks like any normal person having to shave my hair only once my and having to survive healthy perfectly my doctors put me as an example to motivate others
I used to have acute lymphoblastic leukemia and I was diagnosed at age 9 and recovered at age 12 and now I'm 14
I have come back to my life although I still am very much behind and believe me it get tideous to study 17 hours a day non stop and yet still be average this is one of the major disadvantages but the time I spent away from studies and people in complete isolation even having to be away from most friends and family I learnt value of various things
my love for study has grown making me now someone who adores intellectual convos I have become more inquisitive day by day
most of all I have become less vulnerable to my surroundings knowing that not everyone deserves my loyalty despite everyone knowing my situation I have been bullied and called a sympathy gainer for only protecting my friends and I have learnt to defend myself well from such people.
At first my goal was to fit in by doing wrong but now after realizing I made it my goal to spread my word by working hard and not gaining popularity by uploading pictures to gain a few likes
Thank You for giving me inside of what i Had to endure.
You are one of The best Channels.
I’ve been on chemo for my autoimmune disease since 2015.
Which one?
I was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma April of this year, a day after my 19th birthday. I'm currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatment and soon I'll have my bone marrow transplant. Hold on to my fellow soon-to-be cancer survivors. It's tough but let's keep fighting! We will recover soon.
I wish you the best of luck!
stay strong, wishing you the best!
I was diagnosed this month...what does chemo actually feel like? Do you feel the effects after chemo only or also during?
My mother had a surgery on her 4th cancer last Friday. People who fight cancer are champions in life with their mental and physical endurance and their will to live
Ted Have got very Talented Animator. Good Works
My sister survived 2 times leukemia and I'm here just to say that I'm very proud to have such a strong brave sister.
You are all amazing, cancer fighters
My grandpas cancer came back and I’m scared that he won’t survive this time :( I just got close to him and I feel like I can’t live without him
this makes me feel a little bit better and gain a lot more trust in someone's recovery. thank you. :]
I was really interested in this video when I saw it’s about chemotherapy I wanna learn more,
I’m a cancer patient in active treatment waiting for bone marrow transplant only 21 years old, God bless whoever is also going through it stay positive stay strong 💪🏼
I hope you get better very soon! You're so strong dude
@@swayansiddhadey I been good my bone and marrow transplant was successful thanks to god
@@youtube_glock7217 Oh Thank God!
@@youtube_glock7217 good. Are you now cancer free?
@@ynadejesus8172 no his dead
My mother is currently undergoing chemotherapy... I know what it means to watch your loved ones suffer from cancer, all thoughts and prayers to whoever is fighting right now...!!! ❤
I was very, very lucky. My three different chemos which I took 20 treatments, I never got sick, or vomited! I only got extremely tired for three days....
My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer at the end of 2011. At the time, she was told she would likely have somewhere between 2-4 years left to live. I saw how hard it was for her when she was going through chemo. Her cancer didn't respond to chemo and the doctors ran out of options. She passed away 8 months after being diagnosed. Near the end, my mom told me that for every miracle story, there's one that ends up the opposite.
I wish I could tell a success story of someone who beat cancer, but every person in my life who's been diagnosed with it has passed away from it. Most of them never even came close to living as long as the doctors said they would.
But I am happy for everyone who has beat it. I've seen how difficult chemo is for everyone I've known who's been through it, and I want to say that all of you who have or are going through it are strong. The fight is winnable and you can never give up.
Never give up
I was so weak and was in a lot of pain
My father lost his battle he had pancreatic cancer and lived a life in pain he did not want life saving measures. He received Chemo shots monthly. It was very difficult for him. My loving sister was taking care of him. While I was in treatment in another state. I miss him always 😔 💔
One of my classmates has Wilms cancer and he is stuck in hospital going through this. I hope he gets better soon
My thoughts and prayers with whoever is going through cancer. Wish you a speedy recover. I love you all.
I’ve been assuming I have cancer for awhile since I lost my aunt to cancer awhile ago but haven’t been tested. This video popping up is a sign to get tested but I love learning simultaneously
Thank you for this easy to follow explanation! 👍🏻
I just finished my 12 sessions of chemotherapy last March 1, 2021. Thankfully I am now doing good but I still have to undergo radiation therapy. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. For those who are also diagnosed, do not give up!
According to the Journal of Clinical Oncology, chemotherapy does not work nearly 100% of the time? Any other drug would be banned??
@@rakeshhubert3031 yep it does not work 100%. Cancer is still uncureable but can be treated.
Bless you. I hope you are doing good!!
@@rakeshhubert3031 dude stop, this isnt the place to say this
@@jewelbalon7578 yep Patrick Swayze was "treated" with chemo "therapy".
To all battling cancer you guys are awesome and brave. Love and respect and you can do it ❤️
My dad lost his battle with cancer, but chemotherapy gave us extra time together that I’ll never forget.
I have Stage IV esophageal cancer and chemo did not work for me. I was on Folinic acid, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) and my tumor grew. The doctor switched me over to immunotherapy (Keytruda) and added radiation and that worked. Even after stopping chemo more than two years ago, my fingers a toes still have the side effects. Immunotherapy also has very bad side effects and also kills good cells. I have the PDL1protein in my cells and that is why immunotherapy is working but there is no end in sight with the treatment.
I wish you the best with your treatment if you are on one.
