Hodgkin's Lymphoma: How I was diagnosed

In this video I discuss the symptoms leading up to my HL diagnosis and how the diagnosis has impacted my life thus far.

[@elainekommenge1157]

So irritating hearing how much people have to advocate for themselves within our healthcare system. Thank you for sharing. Glad you are ok and have such a good attitude.

[@Doesntmatter20]

I live in Belgium Europe and it is the same here... the medical system is just one big disappointment. Those doctors have such big egos and if you are female and young they tend not to take you seriously : let alone being colored wooo the world is sick and don’t recognize the sick

[@inspiredbyremy92]

@@Doesntmatter20 It's an incredible thing to notice and experience. It really opens your eyes and makes you consider, do these doctors really care about me/want the RIGHT care for me OR are they so quick to prescribe something because of a symptom to get you off their back/make money based on prescribing. No alternative medicine is ever a thought and why?! To keep us sick and them in business? It's BS.

I feel like her process was so fast! February-April. I went for 4 years, and YEARS is the story of many. But you’re correct we shouldn’t have to advocate so much, once doctors listen it takes about 2 months to get diagnosed. So this was a great length of time.

[@stephenpittman4291]

Us healthcare system is only about keeping you alive long enough to extract maximum money - nothing about early preventative care etc. Disgraceful

[@VictoriaV243]

Thank you for sharing your story! I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma too and I had similar experience with health care. Them making me feel like it was me not taking care of myself when I knew something was wrong. I had a lump in my armpit and they just kept putting me off never ordering a biopsy. To this day they don’t tell me the starting point of HL but I chose to focus on getting better rather than blame. But hearing stories there are some who have similar experiences. Stay positive. Wishing you all the best! ❤

Alix, I am truly so sorry to hear you share of your sister's passing. The loss of a sister that you were so close with is unimaginable. I am holding you in my thoughts, heart and prayers. You are a beautiful soul with an incredible outlook on life. You are wise beyond your years. Bravo to you for all that you have overcome! Keep shining ever so brightly, so much so, that you leave a sparkly shimmery shiny path for others to follow. Without a doubt, you have not only helped, yet have inspired many people who have been blessed in connecting with you. Take one small step, one hour, one day, and one moment, at a time.

[@northstar6580]

My grandpa returned from WWII (fought in the battle of Normandy on DDay), he & my grandma had 4 children. The oldest 5 yrs old (my dad) and the youngest was 9 months old. My grandpa was 32 when diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Back then the medical providers wouldn’t tell a patient they were terminal. He passed leaving my grandma to raise all 4 in her own, she passed at 90 yrs old on the same day that my grandpa passed 52 years prior. She had never dated nor remarried after him.

Stay Strong. You have such a positive outlook. I was diagnosed on July 5, 2019 with NLPHL, I am 27 years old. I noticed a swollen lymphnode in my neck in June of 2018 and thought it was my diet. I was vegan at the time and changed my diet back to normal but still healthy and hoped it would go away. In October of 2018 it still was not gone and I went to my primary care. My primary care sent me to have blood work and the blood work did not show any issues. He gave me some antibiotics and sent me on my way. I never had any symptoms or pain. Then this year I went to see an ENT as it still had not disappeared and they did the same thing, needle.biopsy, then an excisional biopsy. I am stage 3 and start my chemo treatment on August 7, 2019. Your videos are inspiring, I have not been reacting and it feels very surreal. You're discussion about cannabinoids therapy makes me curious. Thank you so much for the inspirational words, we all have a choice and we can beat this!

Hi, thank you for your kind words. I did experience both chest tightness and neck tightness as my lymph nodes we're growing larger and larger and causing different sensations in my body - pushing against organs and tissue. But I also had chest tightness from anxiety.

[@ryanjohn758]

I hope and pray you are well now and stay that way! Seems like you are based off your most recent videos? May I ask, when you say golf ball sized, do you mean like a golf ball size sticking out? Or was it like half a golf ball sticking out, and other half inside? Could you notice the node from looking at it? If so was it obvious to see, or did you need to look closely? I have something swollen now, that I think I can slightly see when I look very closely (although no one else sees it). But when I touch it’s very obvious. It feels huge, but maybe it’s not as big as I think if it’s not visible? I had my doctor check and she wasn’t that worried but said to monitor.

[@inspiredbyremy92]

It was slightly sticking out, but it was more visible when I would turn my neck to tighten the skin around it, then it was more visible. It wasn't too obvious to see until I started chemo and it had grown a lot. The only advice I could give would be to trust yourself. No doctor knows your body better than you. Get a second opinion if that is something that feels in alignment with you.

My white cell count is low, I have iron deficiency anemia, lesions in my lungs, on my spine, swelling of my lymph nodes in lower extremities and lymphedema. My doctor says I'm just depressed and hematology refuses to do any biopsies, they also said I am depressed and feel guilty that my daughter died instead of me!! I have had horrible things said to me and charted as a very depressed individual. No one takes me seriously at all... I would agree if I wasn't in so much pain, with chronic anemia and dropping blood counts, lost 15pnds in 5 weeks just recently, have a chronic rash, itching, night sweats and high blood pressure and high pulse.

My Doctor was very honest with me has he knows i am a registered nurse, he said most likely lymphoma. He was visibly shocked by his assessment as he knows i am the soul provider of two children one who has Autism a (pineal gland cyst) arthritis seizures and recently diagnosed with polycystic ovarian failure. I am not stating all this for sympathy, i am stating it because through scientific research i have come to the collusion that vaccines are the one thing that most likely is the reason for such a alarming increase in cancer occurring in the last 20 years or so in society.....

Your story touched me deeply. I asked how you were doing because it was important to do so. You matter. You are not alone. You are cared about. You are loved. I pray you have a healthy and loving support system. I do not wish to pry, nor would I ever think to do so. I am deeply concerned and worried, as you said that you are not good.

Is it possible to have Hodgkin lymphoma even if you don't show any symptoms except swollen lymph nodes?

Yes you can have lymph nodes that you can’t even feel

I go on Wednesday for my ct on my neck and chest. I have all the same exact symptoms. Thought it was auto immune at first but now the lymph nodes are swollen!

I am a retired RN and cannot believe the medical industry, mostly incompetent and dismissive MD's....I have all the symptoms and blood work associated with leukemia and non of the doctors take me seriously. I'm going to ask for a bone marrow test and just get to the answer...how are you doing now?

[@le_wokey8028]

How big was the lymph node you first found

[@inspiredbyremy92]

It was probably the size of a the pit of a peach and kept getting bigger. I also started to find other enlarged lymph nodes in my neck that were smaller than the one I initially found.

Doctor Kanayo Peterson's KZbin channel is forever etched in my memory, I wish to thank you for helping me relieve my hiv and aids symptoms with your herbal medicine for two weeks. Through you, I became hopeful that I could live again.

[@samsepiol1001]

Hi! Can you describe the lymph node on your neck? Was it round? Tender? Hard? Big or small?

[@inspiredbyremy92]

Yes of course. I found the swollen lymph node in the middle of the right side of my neck. It was round and about the size of a peach pit but then grew to be the size of a golf ball. It was pretty painless. One of the only reasons I noticed it was because of the size....I began to feel it when I moved my neck and when I touched it, it felt pretty hard but also had a bit of a softness to it. I hope that helps... ❤️

[@samsepiol1001]

@@inspiredbyremy92 thank you very much. I can feel something on my neck too. But it doesnt seem to be round or hard. It's more like of a vein or muscle that has fats on it. Although I can feel when i swallow. I pray you continue on your recovery 💞

Also may I add. I felt a sharp pain on my lower right stomach and I've been having some distortion to my bowel movement and I have dull pain on my lower back.

95% of the battle is realizing what the patient has done to cause it. Chronic Malnutrition, chronic dehydration, lack of sleep, go-go-go lifestyle. This has taken years to develop and don't allow any oncologist tell you it is now an emergency. You have more than one option.
