Finding out I have STAGE 4 CANCER & What it means | My Cancer Story

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I didn't know it was stage 4 cancer. And then when I found out, I still didn't like to tell people about it because it makes them freak out. I wanted to make this video to explain my situation to allow others to understand what it means and what is going on with me. Metastatic breast cancer at 22 is rare, but it can happen.

Samantha I'm happy that your doing well. Did you ever have the radical mastectomy? The longer I wait for a surgery date I'm starting to worry about it spreading to my lymph nodes. Now with another covid round I'm worried about surgeries being canceled. Not a good time to have cancer. I hope you have many years. Keep up your positive attitude!

Try to set your mind up with autoinstructions like "I'm gonna have more vigor, calm or relax etc." while being focused on a task(physical exercise is what helps me the most) to deal with pain and also while being in a positive, right mind with uplifting statements can make wonders for you its how I deal with anxiety and other chronical diseases I have. If I wouldn't do anything of that I would have committed suicide a long time ago so I can relate better than you think.

[@auntielisalisabopeepsa]

I agree with everything you said Samantha. You described exactly what it’s like being a stage 4 cancer patient. I myself have been battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer since 2014. I’m almost at the 6 year mark at the end of this month. I had a lumpectomy (originally stage 2 IDC) aggressive red devil chemo. Lost my hair after 2nd treatment. I’ve been on Taxol, Herceptin and currently was on Kadcyla. Like you I do scans every 3 months and treatment is for the rest of my life. Whether it be chemo , oral chemo meds or both. The survival rate of 5 years is around 22-27% I’ve been told. I’m no longer curable but treatable. We’re in the same boat. I pray your scans go well and keep on fighting girl. You got this 🙋🏻‍♀️🌸🙏🏼💪

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you! Good to know I’m not alone

[@TheFlufferx]

Thanks so much for sharing your story. I'm a Stage 4 colon cancer survivor. My situation was a lot like yours. I had my colon cancer removed and I had one small spot on my liver that was inoperable. It was too close to the portal vein to resect so I had SBRT radiation to blast out that one small spot. Now I'm in remission and I've had my chemo port removed. I'm having CT scans every 6 months now with blood tests every 3 months to keep an eye on things. We're going to beat these statistics! GL to you!

[@SamanthaL]

Yeah, that's really similar to me! Glad to hear you're in remission :)

It’s devastating news, yet please don’t lose hope. You’re young and strong and God can heal when medical doctors cannot. Much love.

Now has a CT Pet scan and told its in my spine. In months it has escalated to stage 4. I'm not sure what's happening now. Been waiting 2 months for radiotherapy but NHS in England UK is sooo slow.

It's great you talk about this straight I think, no need for sugar coating. you're a hero! there must be so many taboos and so much ignorance around stage 4 solid cancer. People can live so many years with this even if on medication (unfortunately as side effects are crappy), and as time progresses maybe they find a better cure in 5 years or so. It's good news though that it's so responsive to the chemo. up until half way into your video I was still hoping the rib would be some old fracture..... and then it disappeared with chemo.....

Your videos have recently popped up into my recommendations and I am so glad they did. You are so brave going through such a scarey illness and being able to share and to help others by doing so. Also can I just say you have a great energy, I just watched a few videos of you and your boyfriend one in the car , and you can just tell your both great people, I will be sending healing vibes and positivity your way. I find it hard to accept things like this always happens to the best people, who really don't deserve it (not that anyone deserves it) but because your young aswell its a really good thing to spread awareness because people think it won't happen to them because they are young. I live in the UK and we have a charity stand up to cancer and they say that 1 in 2 people will be affected by cancer in their lifetime, it was 1 in 3 but changed last year I believe, we just lost both grandparents to cancer within a month (different I know they'd lived a good life but it's still sad) I really wish there was more the average person like myself could do other than donate to cancer research I don't know but I really hope one day there is a cure for cancer and all this devorstation stop's. Much love your way girl 💓

Hi Sam, I had BC in 2016 and went through all the conventional treatments. It was stage 2 not because it was left locally but it was large in size. Till today I still experience some of the horrible side effects of chemotherapy that will probably stay for the remaining of my life so it is important that I continuing make my body strong. It is really puzzling why you had BC as such a young age. I was in my forties. From your video I think you also do not know why. You seem like a really easy going and calm personality, I am very high strung and in that year when I was diagnosed, I was going through the most stress in my life - mentally and emotionally and I also did not take care of my physical body because I am sick 'within'. I told myself to never go back to that state but sometimes life throws me situations and challenges that try to put me in that place again. I just want to say that you are really strong and thank you for sharing. Love your positivity! Since you are just this young and already using medications that suppress the female hormone, please take care of your bones and heart and brain and please do research on this because the estrogen in women is so important for protecting those organs! I am guessing you may be menopausal already with all the treatments? But amazing that you are gifted a baby what a blessing! I also want to say that science tells us that we always will have cancer cells, it is just that the immune system somehow misses that one cancer cell and it develops into a tumour. So I guess we can say we all have cancer!!! Haha!!

[@SamanthaL]

Thanks so much for your nice comment! I went off my hormone treatments before I got pregnant so I’m not in medical menopause anymore. The hormone medications and targeted therapy were the worst on me physically and mentally and I feel so much better without them! I am glad you are doing better since your treatment and hope it stays that way :)

Very sorry to hear that you have to deal with this. Cancer of any kind is the early 20s is very rare so it makes sense that it would be pretty advanced before being discovered. I would tend to think that being that young does help you survive because most of your body is fairly resilient.

[@SamanthaL]

Yeah, a lot of young people are pretty far along once they are diagnosed

You are so right! Your statistics are much better ! Factoring all of your individual stuff. I am stage four as well and mine is also in my bones. however mine did some hopping around before hitting my bones. I’m at my fifth year now and I’m not going anywhere soon and neither are you! Great explanation btw!

I enjoyed the video. Been fighting final stage testicular cancer for 2 years. It's a roller coaster ride.

Have Hope! About ten years ago, I was in group therapy (for addiction issues). I had a friend in the group, A, whose girlfriend had Grade 4 lymphoma. I don’t think that he understood the grading system and that Grade 4 was the most serious type. Everyone in the group realized that her chances were not great. He remained positive and accepted that this was the way things were and he had total faith that she would survive. She had to have chemo every other week for six months. After six months she had scans and ALL the cancer was gone. She was in remission. It’s ten years later, they are married and the cancer has NOT returned!. I don’t know if their positivity had an effect on her successful outcome but it can’t hurt. Meanwhile, while everyone in our group expected that if someone died, it would be her. Sadly, a number of other seemingly healthy, young people died from accidental drug overdoses and one person committed suicide. No one knows when they are going to die so whether you have cancer or not I suppose all you can do is live each day as if it is your last. It sounds like this is what you are doing. Enjoy your life!

[@SamanthaL]

I do think staying positive has a lot to do with it! Thank you for the encouraging story :)

I’m so sorry you have cancer. Good idea, don’t sugar coat! It’s a new normal. Hang in there Samantha.

[@kristingrund2817]

Live each day to the fullest. Life is not in the future. It is today. Try to do everything you want to do, to meet your goals. Treatment took the last 14 months of my life but every day I feel well enough I pursue my dreams in some small way. You’re young. You have cancer, yes, but make sure you enjoy your life and when you feel well, get out there fulfill your dreams. ❤cancer is big but you are bigger.

[@scottishkiwi1747]

Yes, great information and you're outlook is very grounded and balanced. You also have a very adorable laugh that I've seen in some other videos 😄 . I'm not sure if this is in any of your other vlogs, but are you working/at Uni able to work/study still or is it a full time sort of thing managing the illness? I hope you can stay on top of things and I look forward to your next update.

[@SamanthaL]

Hi, thank you very much! I graduated college less than a year before I was diagnosed, and I am working now. There was a time in the middle of the big treatments where I had to take a lot of time off work. It’s still kind of hard to manage, but my job is very flexible which I’m super thankful for

[@stephanietorres5679]
