We’d love to hear from you: what was the biggest lesson you learned in your own cancer diagnosis? Leave us a comment below 👇

Biggest lessons I have learned from my cancer diagnosis are that I have no fear of death (Faith in God), people can be so surprising kind and the side effects of cancer treatment never seem to end for me anyway (it’s been five years since my diagnosis). Judy. 🇨🇦

Monday morning quarter backing is easy. Looking back I had all the symptoms for over a year. They would think it's allergies or whatever. The list of symptons just got longer and longer. I happened to get a two year checkup for a previous operation which involved getting a new CT to check my AAA stint. They noticed something suspicious and suggested a Pet Scan. Took me two months challenging both my PCP and Insurance company to get a Pet Scan scheduled. Stage 4 lung cancer. Took biopsy to confirm and I had Metastasized also. So start Chemo tomorrow. There is no cure for me, just maybe drag it out a little bit.

Lesson I learned is I wish I had connected the dots. PCP can't connect all the dots in a 10 minute visit monthly!

I love Paige's story of survival. The support team she has is so important. Wish you a very happy life.

God bless and keep you safe. I'm shocked at the numbers of serious illnesses,at various stages, occuring now and in recent years. Five ppl I know, were just living, normal n healthy. No excessive anything. Just young n normal,like this brave lady. Now they are gone! Just unreal. Not one of them had family history of respective diseases. I was told this. So v sad. I wish EVERYONE here the very best.

My dad had large B cell non-hodgkins lymphoma twice. He was in remission for 7 years before it came back, & i was with him 24 hours per day for his last 10 months. I used to work at Hoag Hospital & have been a patient there a few times too.

Found out this year I have that myself. Anxiously awaiting chemo. This will be R-Pola-CHP.

Mass is found in the chests a lot with Acute Leukemia or '' Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma''. It usually manifests as dyspnea, '' Shortness of breath'' from a buildup of cancerous Lymph nodes known as a '' Mediastinal Mass''.

I’m in remission from Lymphoma. It was stage 4 when it was found and I was so sick I was septic. 6 rounds of chemo like yours and it’s hell. Good luck

[@BuzzBee-et8np]

Did they explain what makes the body go septic? I was just curious is it toxins that build up in the blood or is it lymph glands that are working so hard they basically die trying to help you? I don’t think a lot of people know what going septic is. I know old people die of it because they are treated like they have the flu but it’s much more serious. How old were you when you got it and how hard was it to get diagnosed.

Thank u for sharing Take care n prayers 🙏❤️

[@elisabettapaddon6470]

Thanks for sharing your journey beautiful 😍

[@pwyman5540]

I mean at least in your 20's your stronger than a 55year old and have that energy to fight. Great job!

[@BuzzBee-et8np]

Did you notice the night sweats started out minimally or were they pretty extreme from the beginning? I’m glad you were ok but that sounds so scary and you are so young. They don’t have any idea why someone so young would get it? I hope you’re still ok Now ❤

getting diagnosed is the critical point to save a person's life. I knew a person， canadian citizen， got an illnesss because the external medcial mandatory，and she has spent thousands of her savings tried to get diagnosed in the past a few years. hospitals would not even give out correct disgnosis. why? because no hospitals would like to admit her "was being mixed with another virus' injection's fault. canada especially ontario is like this for many years. i just witnessed her experience for the past 3 years. in fact, if she die now, her saved up assest will become mine. i believe ontatio government is helping me on this point. ( not too much, but enough for me to pay off mortgage, and inherit several real estate. ontario government is using this way to make original immigrants, and later naturalized citizen's money.

Recently diagnosed with S4 lung cancer I watch all the videos I can to accumulate knowledge for my coming battle. And to a degree I appreciate them. However I have trouble getting my arms around sharing ones disease with family, friends, social media, strangers, etc. Life in general can be challenging and I'm not going to pile my problems onto others. Seems selfish to me

[@superseries7007]

Night sweats... Classic symptom. 😬

[@apwmojack]

Congratulations on being cancer free.i don't know how I would handle it in my 20 .I found out because a saw a swollen lymph node not big no symptoms nothing then bam stage ,4 ldbc . After 3 rds of rchop vt CT scan showed it wasn't working . I should have been floored .But I see this as Gods way of bringing me back .he won't give me more then I can handle . So now I'm starting car t .in 3 weeks they come back and infuse me . Should be interesting either way . I'm no longer scared of death
