Leukemia Patient Story: My 1st Symptoms for CLL | Stephen's Story (1/5) | The Patient Story

[@criticwatcher]

My mom's blood specialist tried to say that what she has wasn't nothing to be too concerned about and now my mom is dying from it. It's hard to find doctors that actually cares about patients

[@criticwatcher]

@@kimjohnson325 When my mom had colon cancer in the past and now she got diagnosed with this when she's 70, I'm going to worry.

My son was diagnosed with Call on 4/3/24. The treatment seems to be worst than the diagnose Put prayer

I've heard it said before that psychopaths often become doctors. Obviously not all doctors are psychopaths but they are probably over represented.

[@fighterpilot1112]

I don't have any of the symptoms of cancer yet I still enjoy your videos just to give me more knowledge for down the road should they appear. Great work!

Thank you so much for leaving such a kind message. So glad you aren't dealing with cancer! Wishing you a wonderful 2022. -Stephanie

My precious husband, the love of my life, lost his life to CLL in February of this year. He literally gave his life for his country, because his leukemia was the result of Agent Orange after serving during the Vietnam War. I miss him every hour of every day.

I’m sorry love

[@TT-cu7ze]

I have so much respect for Vietnam vets. I'm sorry for your loss.

Now my father is suffering from Leukemia, the Docter has given first phase Chemo and we ready for next phase. So I wish him recovery soon.

[@VedRajak-ef8gm]

He will get fine very soon may God bless him

[@victoriaberec1241]

I hope your okay man. Praying for u. Love u.

[@jamiedurrett4842]

Doctors are so jaded anymore they need to ask themselves why they wanted to be a Dr in first place. Also learn to listen.

[@kelleywyskiel8513]

I agree.

[@tayjo1820]

Absolutely. I’m 30 and something hasn’t been right for years. My hair is falling out, unexplained weight loss, body aches without fever, debilitating fatigue, etc. My blood results have continuously been abnormal in very low white blood cell counts. Yet, when I went to the ER the doctor told me if he were me, he wouldn’t be concerned. I just cried after he left the room. And he’s just one in many who have treated me the same.

[@sensimania]

My doctor told me that she joined the medical field because she tried a pink collar job and didn't enjoy it, so decided to follow in her mother's footsteps and proceeded to medical school

[@traceyhateley3925]

My husband died of this illness. , he was 38 years old. His only symptom was constant sore throat. RIP MY DARLING x

I presented after experiencing months of increasing shortness of breath and bilateral pleuritic chest pain. My Chest X-rays revealed multiple areas of collapse and fluid around both lungs, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and a small mass in the lower right lung. Interestingly, my white blood cell count was only minimally elevated. My mediastinal lymph node biopsies revealed SLL with good prognostic markers. I had four courses (2 days/month for four months) of Rituximab & Bendamustine. That was just over six months ago, and despite some unchanged radiologic findings, I am feeling back to normal. Let's hope my story ends there.

[@MagashiSaizen]

One of the biggest problems in the medical world is the problem in ego doctors have, a lot of them refuse to listen to you or take you seriously, its exhausting having to be sick and having to deal not only with an illness and it symptoms but also trying to make doctors listen to you and getting them to be proactive in finding out what's going on.

[@laurenclark1480]

I worry about this because family history. Went to Mayo and found hpylori so scared of gastric cancer now. I've had every scan and test imaginable but always feel like I'm choking and sore throat. Lost 50# not right.

[@MF-ty2zn1]

Cancer diagnosis and treatment is very slow. It took 6 months after diagnosis to start chemo / radiation. Surgery was 11 months after diagnosis for sarcoma. And they wanted to make it 13 months later originally.

[@krisone5253]

1968 my uncle died from LEUKEMIA. I now have the symptoms and my blood work is concerning. I haven't followed up with the doctor. I guess I don't want, or care. ✝️🌈

James, I’m in Canada and got diagnosed this year with CLL also on watch n wait but one symptom they told me to watch for was night sweats, headaches and itchy skin (I had these symptoms last Nov) but not since. Double check with your Doc on the night sweats.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

[@patriciafoster3347]

This was great. I’m going to hematologist/ onocologist tomorrow for results of first testing. It has taken forever. I have a ton of questions. Do they have time to ANSWER THEM? I was sent there by my GP. SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY. Tomorrow…maybe.

[@LettyBobetty213]

I hope everything went good.

[@godwinmbre9544]

Your generosity towards curing my cancer is incomparable. You assured me of getting healed and surprisingly after of taking the medication by your prescription, My Doctor confirmed I was cancer free. Thanks Dr Igho I will keep letting the world know about your KZbin Channel.
