How I Learned I had Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer - Zykeisha | The Patient Story

Zykeisha found out her hemoglobin levels were dangerously low. She underwent a blood transfusion, but the relief was short-lived. Despite alarming signs like excruciating back pain, changes in stool, and even blood in her stool, doctors dismissed Zykeisha’s concerns time and time again. It took a full year of relentless doctor visits to uncover what was really going on.
The turning point came when unbearable pain below her breast led to an emergency room visit, where an ultrasound revealed a mass on her liver. Initially misdiagnosed with gallstones, a colonoscopy revealed Stage 4 colorectal cancer that had metastasized to the liver.
In this cancer vlog, Zykeisha describes the painful process of her diagnosis where she underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy and major surgeries. Zykeisha also shows the power of self advocacy and how she never gave up on herself.

I think they know a lot but are dismissive of certain patients. Most doctors are beholden to insurance companies hence they will recommend the cheapest, most obvious treatment option. That's why their default view is to dismiss you with terms like: "its nothing", "happens all time", "you will be just fine" even when you know you are feeling your worst. Educated patients that advocate for themselves is the only solution. You have to be loud and aggressive or else they will just gaslight you into thinking you are ok.

I had excruciating stomach pain after I ate. My stool was blood free. I went to emergency and they gave me an ultrasound. Nothing was found. I was told more than likely had gastritis. I followed the diet. Ate bland salt free foods. My pain eventually went away. One year later, I had blood in my stool. Went back to the doctor, was given a sigmoidoscopy, boom, cancer. 3b. The doctor suspected it was slow growing and I more than likely had it during my emergency visit. 12 chemo rounds later, and a resection, things are looking up 🙏🏾

The 3 BLK 🙎🏽‍♀️nurses I had treated me like pure shit, their vibe was literal hateful, the way spoke to me was very disgusting. They were extremely unprofessional. The Dr was absolutely shitty. From check in- The 8 white nurse (all women- 1 male) that handled certain parts of my visit were absolutely professional and very sweet with great vibrations. The Dr said your fine I don’t know why you’re hearing these symptoms. Never mention any of my test results. But he did tell me I have a mass inside of my spinal nerves at my lower spine and the pad between my spine bones in that are has worn away so eventually I will have back pain, but don’t worry about it, I’ll be fine. As He got up to leave I asked him well why am I have excruciating sharp lighting bolt pain in my stomach? I continue to walk out, threw his hands up and IN A NASTY TONE-said, “I don’t know, I don’t know what to tell you what!”. Mind you he said this with his back turned the whole time walking out in the middle of me along him questions. I just sat there with my mouth open. I’m still in shock. I SWEAR IT REALLY DO BE YOUR OWN PEOPLE. I don’t overstand the venom many of them have. It’s getting to the point where- I don’t want my own RAYCE to assist me no where I go. YES, IT’S THAT BAD..

You people have to stop this. Symptoms can lead to 1000 different things. The symptoms where not "dismissed". Her age, and her symptoms, werent a sign of Cancer. It makes no sense, for Drs. to jump straight to Cancer, every time someone walks into a hospital. This is what you people expect. That Drs are somehow gods, who just. "should have known better". That isnt how anything works. She said it herself, you have to be your own advocate. Drs are humans, just like the rest of us. They can over look things, they can be wrong, and if they arent getting the full story from the patient, for whatever reason, they cant magically come to the right answer. House is a fictional character.

[@janetberquist5800]

Where did you get your medical degree? As a nurse, I don’t claim to know everything but when a patient needs blood transfusions, has excruciating pain, they should have looked further for the cause of the bleeding. After she gave birth that should have started the ball rolling. Rectal bleeding doesn’t necessarily mean cancer, but it should have been investigated. The doctors assume that young people don’t get cancer and cancer is for older people but here’s proof of that! Go on KZbin and look at the many young people that are being diagnosed. Thank God she is in remission but she isn’t out of the woods yet. Follow up is important! Especially if she had cancer metastasis. I will be praying for her.

[@rebeccadavidson4435]

​@@brem3386 I talked to a SW/patient relations person about my Dr. Explained I wanted an advocate to come with me to my next appt to see if we could resolve issues or I would want to change to a different Dr. The SW scheduled herself. When I went to the appt, I left her a VMAIL in the morning about meeting up but did not hear back. I told my appt RN who was checking me in that I did not know what happened. She is who told me what was written in notes that patients can't see. The SW was not coming, she documented that she had given me a number to call to arrange for a patient advocate. She never mentioned there was such a department even though I specifically asked for an advocate and she sure as hell never gave me any phone number. I was angry. Asked the nurse if that's how they worked? Document lies in hidden notes to cover their own ass, renege on the commitment they made and then don't bother to let the patient know. Dr came in maybe 30 minutes later, it was an extra long wait. I asked him if I could record our appt, he said yes and we started talking. About 5-10 minutes later the SW shows up (looking very angry), a few minutes later, a patient advocate, who I had never met or heard of showed up. It was horrible - 3 against 1. The Dr was smooth and said that we had discussed things that we never had. He was aware that I had spoken to the SW, so he was prepared to explain everything away. I remained calm and told him what was true and what was not. IE - I disagree what you say happened, this is what happened. They all decided that I had unrealistic expectations, and the problem was me. That is the first time I recorded an appt with a phone app. When the others unexpectedly joined us, it did not occur to me to mention the recording (and the Dr did not say anything). After the Dr left, the ladies continued to try to manage me. I had asked to change to a different Dr. I was told that they don't do that. I mentioned that all I wanted was a Dr that I trusted and good care. I mentioned the recording. Those 2 ladies had a mini meltdown when they learned they were being recorded. They said I had violated their rights. Next day, I reviewed the Dr's notes against the recording. Sure enough several things he documented things that were not part of our meeting. His notes were not an accurate representation of our meeting. I sent a detailed email to a different department and lo and behold I was assigned to a different Dr. The new one is nicer but she really only says, everything looks good, see you in 6 months. I have to ask very specific questions. Appts are minimal and she wants to leave ASAP. This is THE major cancer center in my area so I am out of options. As long as I remain in remission, I will be okay. But the good Lord will need to watch out for me if I need chemo and etc, These folks have a hard time getting the little things right and telling the truth. I have to wonder what happens when the stakes get much higher for me.

You have been through so much. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Rectal cancer. I understand a lot of what you've been through. I had my rectum removed and I do have a colostomy bag. I have neuropathy from the oxaliplatin treatment, and had some dental issues due to the chemo. I am thankful for my oncologist. So far so good but I still dread every scope and scan. When cancer patients say they have "scanxiety" while waiting for results, it's no joke. But I am thankful to be alive. The shots to boost my blood count before chemo were awful but my nurses told me to take a Claritin before them and it helped with the pain. My life is very different than it was but again...I am alive!! I also didn't have small children to take care of during this. You are brave, positive and beautiful! I am glad things are going better for you now and pray you reach that 5 year mark with ease!! And then continue to stay vigilant. Thank you for sharing your journey.

That was a extreme surgery for a stage 2 patient.

[@itsdiane2you11]

@@raychelhill9208 It was the location of the tumor. Chemo and radiation didn't get it all and it was too close to the anus for resection so I wasn't a candidate for that. Had it been up closer to the colon they may have tried that but the doctor explained the issues with shortening the rectum (you become a slave to the toilet basically). It's different than removing a diseased portion of the colon. Regardless, that wasn't an option for me. It was stage 2 because it hadn't metastasized.

Zykeisha, your video really touched my heart (my son, 39, was diagnosed in October with exactly the same thing....no surgery because the liver was 80% cancer. He did the same treatment as you, and after the last PET scan which showed the tumors reduced to 5.6 cm compared to the 10 cm, they will possibly consider surgery. My heart also hurts for you regarding your teeth....I know how hard the braces must have been, and then to have the chemo destroy all of that. You are a lovely, beautiful young woman, and I am adding you to my cancer prayer list (i actually have one dedicated to those I know with cancer...sad). Raise those handsome young men of yours in the nurture and admonish of the Lord: take them to church, read God's Word with them, pray with them, never miss an opportunity to witness of the love of Christ.

He scored points politically for that stance, until it killed him.

It sure did benefit certain politicians. Just at a loss of 1,219,487 US citizens to date, give or take and still counting.

Her voice is powerful, her story is heartbreaking. Such unnecessary suffering for such a lovely young woman, with what should have been her whole life ahead of her.

[@dactimis3625]

Please read. Will be fine. My father was a strong man and after he had surgery for colon-rectal cancer, he died after a lot of suffering in about three months. The doctor thought I had the same cancer and wanted to operate on me. As I had already studied a lot about cancer, I refused the operation. The doctor told me that I will be back in six months. But 14 years of a very active life have passed. If you want to beat the cancer: 1. Chemotherapy means that you destroy not only your cancer cells, but also many healthy cells, which you need. A very bad thing is that it may destroy your immune system, the one that tells the body when you have cancer and that knows how to fight cancer. 2. Radiotherapy is well known to cause cancer. The underlying idea is that cancer cells will die. it's true, it destroys them. But it can also turn healthy cells into new cancer cells. There is some hope if you follow radiation therapy with doses of radiation very precise targeted at the cancer. 3. Surgery is a solution, but it often spreads the cancer to other parts and thus creates new cancers. What can you do: 1. Prayer to God. Yes, God really exists. And He asks us to love Him, people and do good deeds. 2. To search very persistently for our sins and mistakes. Apart from God, we all have sins. Don't look for excuses, they only have value if God considers that you deserve to be forgiven. Don’t hide yourself behind excuses like “I didn’t anything to do” or “Others did too”. I searched for my sins and mistakes for several months. 3. Stop eating meat and sweets. It is easier that you think! 4. Daily, up to half a liter of beetroot juice. 5. Seeds of all kinds. 6. Cancer is not a tragedy. Fight calmly. Moderate action. 7. It would be very good if you have the strength to follow the treatment of Rudolf Breuss. Sure you can. The treatment of Rudolf Breuss is based on a very strict fast. In my opinion, it's exactly what cancer can't stand. Think of a mother. Isn't she able to stay hungry just to give food to her child? Of course yes. But a pregnant woman is something else. She must give the fetus a lot of food because he needs it to grow quickly. She doesn't hold back, she wants a lot of food. If she does not eat, the child is in danger. It's the same with cancer. A normal cell can be satisfied with a little food, but a cancerous cell, which multiplies without stopping, needs a lot of food. If you don't let it eat, it is in danger of death. A normal cell can fast without problems, but a cancerous one is in danger of death. You probably know that if someone who has cancer stops eating, this is considered a sign that they will die soon. But let's think deeper. Cancer knows how to trick the immune system, which does not take measures against it even though it could. But at some point, the situation becomes so bad that the immune system understands that the organism has cancer. And what does he do? Closes the recipient with food to destroy the aggressor. But it's usually too late. What would it be like for man to close the faucet in time and stop feeding cancer? In my opinion, the treatment of Rudolf Breuss is a very good option. Help her, please God, to be healthy!
