Aw, thank you so much for the kind words and for recommending the channel! It still boggles my mind that there are people out there watching these videos. And congrats on passing the TEAS! Good luck in your nursing career!

I watched so many videos on the lymphatic system and still didn’t fully understand everything until your video! You explain everything so well and the illustrations are so helpful! Thank you so much🙏

Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you so much for this video.

[@lordbyron3603]

My lymphatic system failed me . Three years ago, I was diagnosed with the rare THL DLBCL stage 4 with Cachexia, lymphedema and Ascites ravaging my poor 65 yo body. I went from a healthy 170 lbs down to 105 lbs in 2 weeks! I was a walking corpse. I wanted to die! I was ready. I didn’t want to live anymore. But the doctors and nurses at the VA in Seattle didn’t want to give up on me. I was initially hospitalized for 50 days doing whatever they can to keep me alive. In and out of the hospital within the last three years , I was given chemotherapy, immunotherapy and CAR-T treatments . I cry whenever I recall that period in my life. I was in so much agonizing pain. It was unimaginable. But , here I am , three years later, still breathing and very much alive! What happened? Why did I survive ? A friend said it’s as if the Cancer was “undone!” A curious choice of word …. “Undone!”

[@SiebertScience]

Wow, what a story! I'm glad you survived and that you were able to get some good medical care! As far as why you survived, that's beyond my knowledge level.

Amazing. I am under a similar attack but the SoCAL docs wanted me to die and refused to prescribe the meds that were helping me. I did a 6150 but GOD refused to take me home so here I am trying to survive and not knowing why! Some docs are evil.😢😢😢

I am so happy you posted this ❤❤ I am in massage school so this helps a bit at least the basics of it to have an idea but of course in our school it’s more detailed but it’s good to know at least some of the basics of it and do you also teach physiology as well and different types of sicknesses

[@SiebertScience]

Glad it was helpful! I'm never quite sure how in-depth and detailed to go. Sounds like it would have been more helpful to be a bit more detailed in this one?

@@SiebertScience definitely but of course the video was perfect overall. Thank you 😊 I feel like I understand better now

[@jellybeanvinkler4878]

​@SiebertScience I just found you, so will be reviewing all your bids. You have a gift for communicating the facts straight and simple. But expanding on this comment, do you ever build on a given system to include things that can go wrong, such as chronic disease, or in this case, lymphoma? Thanks for the info!
