Health anxiety anyone

[@alistairbradford410]

My mum was diagnosed last night I have enough stress because I’m starting my GCSEs in 7 weeks I don’t know much they refused to tell me, my dad tried to tell me it was just a blood disorder but I knew when he said the medication she’ll be on will make her lose hair. Idk what type or stage I know nothing other than it’s lymphoma and she’s going to do chemotherapy if your reading this chances are someone, either you or a loved one has this cancer my best wishes to your family and friends affected god bless you all 🙏 Edit: it’s June 2023 now and my entire life has changed for the better. I am at levels I never expected to reach. And my mums cancer free now. Only bad thing is I’m now currently experiencing symptoms of lymphoma myself 😂. Obviously it’s unlikely it’s cancer but it’s it’s very uncommon to have 3 swollen painless lymph nodes for 3 months right?

[@osmosis]

🙏🏼 Keeping your mom in our thoughts, Alistair. 🙏🏼

[@alistairbradford410]

@@osmosis basically my parents didn’t even want me to know about the cancer in the first place. Today my parents came into the house after sitting on the drive for 10 minutes. They came in like they just received a Christmas present they didn’t like. The smiles. The voice. It all looked fake. They sat me and my brother down. And told us. It’s stage 1. She will be perfectly fine just a bit ill for a few months. But here’s the problem. It’s in her stomach. And my dad said “she’s very rare because it’s in her stomach” and everything I read says that if it is in an organ outside the lympomatic system then it is stage 4. Since they tried to hide the truth from me once. Can I believe them. And please help me. Is it possible for stage 1 lymphoma to be in the stomach. I don’t want to live a lie.

[@alistairbradford410]

Turns out it is stage 1 by the way. Unless it’s in her bone marrow. She’ll get the results in 4 weeks

[@NOT_SURE..]

gets tons of vitamin D in her , i recently heard that black people who live in places with little sunlight (the study was done in chicago ) are overly prone to cancers, they gave all the black people in chicago vit D and they stopped getting cancers , well didnt stop but was the same as the white folk. i had this last year and the chemo almost killed me , you will be sick all the time and it affects you in ways you cant imagine , your backside might leak which is miserable , your nose will run constantly (which is bad news during a pandemic when everyones scared of someone with a cold) i did half my chemo then came home and took my own concoctions of dog worming tablets (fenbendazole) pepper + tumeric, bitter apricot kernals , loads of vit C D and B12

[@adamdavidkenyon6664]

I live in UK, my sweet Mum just died two weeks ago from this fucking awful cruel disease. I am completely destroyed by this, I loved her so much, she was my best friend as well. I cared for her for two years. Two years of itching, painful red skin, infections, gashes in her legs with swelling and puss, hair loss from scratching, puss in eyes from the scurf from the head falling into her eyes, weak bones. I watched my lovely Mum deteriorate into nothing....Fuck the NHS, kept telling us for a year that it was Psoriasis when it was actually the rare cancer, Cutaneous T cell Non Hodgkin Lympthoma. A disease that puts you at high risk of infection, she was admitted to hospital five weeks ago when going for a routine appointment, they told her she had MSRA and said she could go home soon with antibiotics, then it turned bad. It turned into Pneumonia, which got worse and turned into extreme Pneumonia in her final hours. Sending her into a coma because of breathing complications, basically brain dead and full body organ failure. She didn't deserve this! She was the loveliest person in the world and put everyone else first before her. I feel so lost.....I feel angry that her diagnosis was delayed time after time. All she needed was a lumbar punch and that proved that she had early stage cancer, but they decided to leave it till stage 3 to find out. We kept being told the cancer had not metastasised but it had spread to her lungs months ago. I cry when I think about the horror she has been through and when she kept telling me on the phone her dreams/plans for future, that she wanted to come home. I feel like I couldn't protect her. She died suffocating with water on her lungs. DO not let your diagnosis go unheard, get this checked out people, we didn't know any better. It can show up as Psoriasis or Dermatitis, this video does not explain that. There is no known cause to this disease, it is rare and a genetic mutation with no known cause other than age related. There is NO cure for it. Until Immunotherapy gets better, there is nothing that can be done. It is just controlled and very hard to get into remission. Being a blood cancer, it's everywhere, hers was low grade so slow growing, and much harder to treat. There needs to more awareness and money raised for this disease.
