finding out I have Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 21

It’s been a month now. A month consisting of 3 surgeries, 3 infusions, with 3 new scars that will be with me forever. It’s been a month of tests, tears, and trying to understand the full story of what was going on.
On June 24, 2020, I got the call explaining that they believed to have found lymphoma; a cancer in my lymph node system. Today, one month later, I was officially diagnosed with Stage 4 Nodular Sclerosis Lymphoma. To say this past month has been a journey is an understatement. But today I’ve found light in knowing what’s truly going on so that we can start planning my treatment.
I am fearful for the unknowns ahead, but I know deep in my heart that I am strong and that I can get through this. I have an amazing medical team, family, and friends who have been at my side since day 1.
I can 100% say this is not what I was expecting right now, in life, at 21. Cancer was a word that was distant, unfamiliar. It was in movies, in stories, connected to people that I care about. But this time, it’s connected to me. It’s in this body I live and breath in everyday. It’s new and scary and unfamiliar, but it’s real and I’m doing my best to process it all.
These next few months are going to be a lot for this lil body of mine! I appreciate any good thoughts or prayers so so much right now.
Thanks for watching.
Love, Kam.

Getting my chemo. There was soooo many days where i would just sob like out loud screaming crying cause it was so hard. Don't be scared to go to a spychiatrist or talk to your oncologist if you're getting really depressed. I didn't really know about that back when i was that age. But I made it through it. You'll make it through too. But I do have joint issues now. I was diagnosed with rheamatoid arthritis last year. So just be aware you might have complications later on in life.

I’m so sorry this happened to you... It’s so cool that you’re sharing your story and spreading awareness through your youtube videos. It’s really helpful... I started my search online because I’ve been feeling sick, on and off for years. Fatigue, shortness of breath and chest pains, upper back/shoulder pain, bruising, prone to infections... And now I’ve lost 13 kg (28 lbs) in 3 months, and I’m fairly petite already. I have a bump on my cheek, behind my ear, under my jaw and above my collarbone. I’ve had swollen lymph nodes so bad and painful that my husband woke up and found me on the couch with an ice pack on my face. I’ve had a cold for 3 months now and I’m starting to lose my mind, so I abuse my sleep meds I have for my anxiety. I also take way too much melatonin, but I CANT SLEEP if I don’t. My doctor says that my blood is perfect and I’m “too young to be sick”. I’m 25... He actually refused to send me to an ENT specialist for the bump on my cheek. He refuses to do a scan. He doesn’t even want me to call anymore because I’ve “bothered his assistants too much”. I am completely broken. I really don’t know what to do, if I need to get a second opinion, which tests I should have done. If anyone has some advice I would be so grateful... Again, THANK you for these videos and I wish you lots of luck and strength. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey, I am proof stage 4B is beatable, best of luck to you and try not to stress out because that's the worse thing you can do for the cancer. Your beautiful

Your video just showed up on my timeline . I just want to give you the biggest hug right now. You’re so beautiful and so brave! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. 🤍🌸🔆

Hey beautiful young lady. Just came across your video today. As a Paediatric nurse having looked after children upto 18 yrs old, I strongly believe that you are going to be absolutely fine. After which you will be a big advocate for your type of cancer and other types of cancer. You are a strong young lady which I can tell by watching your video. You are allowed to cry and have days were you feel low. This is not sign of weakness or defeat, if anything the opposite. Dont forget though that you will fight and beat cancer. I know that treatment which you have already started will be gruelling to say the least. Hang in there baby girl. Every day, every treatment is a step closer to being cancer free. I am praying for you my love.❤😊

I bought that EXACT pink journal during the worst year of my life- I cherish it today to give me perspective into how far Iv come and how much I have improved. Maybe its good luck and you will feel the same about that little pink journal :)

Today is Friday, October 22, on Tuesday I found out I have Lymphoma too. I finally put words on what I feel thanks to you... Numb and like in in a movie. I cried right when they told me but stopped almost immediately and it has been hard for me to let my emotions out. I've cried a little but I'm mostly in a fighting mode, almost like I'm actually kinda angry about it. But staying positive for the sake of my parents... I've only told them, my brother and his wife and three of my best friends. I also live in Texas while all my friends and family live in Mexico. I'm a military spouse so my husband and I are pretty much alone here. I'm really scared but at the same time I don't understand why I can't cry or let it out because I'm usually a big emotional person and I cry about everything. I guess I'm feeling like fighting the hell out of this thing because my life was going so well, my marriage, my career and this happened. I don't know what else to say....

Hi...Please don't worry. I'm also in the same boat. We are too young and the strongest opponents for this cancer. Stay strong girl. It does miracles. You are gonna be alright in just 6 months. ABVD is not that strong to make you physically upset God bless 😉

Hello Rose

[@nazaresilva325]

Hi Kam. I hope things are going ok for you. 30 years ago, I had Hodgkins, stage 3. at the time there was only 10% chance of cure - today aparently is about 80, I believe. I AM STILL HERE. Don't expect it to be easy, but we are survivers. Don't give up, and take "advantage" of all the support around you. god bless you. xx

[@OliviaandEliciaStern]

I just found your channel right as you are finishing chemo and congrats!! I’m a child/teen cancer survivor so I’m excited to go back and watch your journey!! :)

[@anusureshkumar4484]
