How I Learned I had Stage 4 Lung Cancer | My Symptoms Came so Fast- Tiffany | The Patient Story

Tiffany was a nurse and mother of twins when her world was turned upside down.
Despite being otherwise healthy and into fitness, Tiffany started experiencing breathlessness and pain in her right side. After a collapsed lung and many tests, she was diagnosed with non-small cell adenocarcinoma.
In this conversation, Tiffany shares her story of undergoing numerous tests to get her diagnosis, how her genetic mutation affected treatment decisions and how she has been a part of two clinical trials.
The interview has only been edited for clarity.

[@darcya.9390]

I hope someone has already shared the gospel with you - if you haven't already heard it and trusted it. It's found in I Corinthians 15:1-4 in the King James Bible. Christ died for our sins, he was buried, he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Ephesians 1:13 KJB says when you hear the gospel and simply trust it (no added works!) God saves you, and seals you with his promised Holy Spirit. Heaven will be your home! Praying you choose to put your faith in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection as atonement for your sins!

I feel guilty watching her story. I’m 58 and I’ve smoked for 40 years. I quit twice. When I found out I was pregnant with my first son, I immediately stopped. I didn’t think twice. I had a baby inside of me. But I started back when he was around 2 months old. Three years later I found I was pregnant again. Again, I stopped immediately-the same day as my positive pregnancy test. But I started back a few months after delivery. I’ve been overweight all of my life and never exercised regularly. I am happy to say I’m down a little over 100 pounds and now weigh 168. But I’ve taken my life for granted. I almost died in an F3 tornado 23 years ago. I was literally swept up in it and broke my arm and hurt my back, later requiring surgery. I’m not saying any life is more important. I’ve raised 2 children now in their 30’s and I have grandchildren. But this young woman has done all the right things and has so much to live for and it just breaks my heart. I pray she makes it through this. She is so needed by her children and husband. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jasminefrichtl806]

You don't have to do chemotherapy to kill lung cancer I had a really good doctor I paid out of my own pocket you do you have to to get a good doctor most of the time sometimes I get good doctors using Medicare but that's why I paid out of pocket and he was really honest with me that you don't need chemotherapy to kill cancer he put me on a cancer diet and told me what things to eat that kill cancer in the lungs and breast the best and which is crushed of chia seeds red vegetables and red fruits especially red romaine lettuce and red raspberries and you have to eat three to four handfuls to do same with the Chia seeds I just took one capsule of the mushroom a day but I didn't eat the capsule part I just poured it on something else and eat it usually into my mango juice mango juice helps kill cancer too and reishi mushroom and cordycepin a mushroom it's good to get the complex that has all the mushrooms that kill cancer but those two specifically build up immunity in the lungs and breathing in green tea and sea salt and the cancer diet you can't have any red meat or chicken until the cancer is gone once it's gone you can eat it again no processed foods whatsoever no processed sugars you can have fruit juice and use that to make deserts but you can't put any processed foods in there it's best not to even make homemade desserts until you're all medically better you can have all the fruit you want you can have all the fish you want cuz it kills cancer especially salmon and tilapia and different foods kill different types of cancers my sister had full-blown skin cancer and she had surgeries and the cancer kept coming back and then she ate celery seeds never two months the cancer went away and her wounds finally healed up and I hope this info helps you the reason doctors lie about seeing you have to do chemotherapy when you really don't is because they can't make money off naturopathic methods and make tons of money off chemotherapy which kills more people than upstairs and even if you survive it you have permanent damage on your body and why put yourself through that we know even leukemia you can cure naturally in the Philippines I have a friend who was from there and she said most people are poor there and can afford to see the doctor anyways and they use a natural method to kill leukemia and she had leukemia as a child and her mom carried her and she's now in her thirties cancer Philippines I have a friend who was from there and she said most people are poor there and can afford to see the doctor anyways and they use a natural method to kill leukemia and she had leukemia as a child and her mom cured her and she's now in her 30s cancer free and never came back and she's a nurse at a hospital how many processed sugars are foods for the rest of your life processed foods are mainly what cause cancer that in pollution so moving from a polluted area helps as well cuz once you get cancer it can come back really easily so yep that's why you have to stay away from processed foods and polluted areas I hope this info helps you

I was on the TAK788 trial which was Mobocertinab along with Alimita and 4 rounds of Carboplatin. I lost most of my hair, but stopped taking the chemo parts in Sept 2021, so my hair is growing. I was on that trial for 17 months and then had progression. In Jan I started a new trial called BLU451 and my 1st CT showed stable. I am 63 and have 3 grown children and 6 grandchildren.

I went for my physical January 2017. They found a mass in my right lung upper quadrant. I had a Pet Scan to see if the lung cancer had spread anywhere else. It was Just in my lung. My thoracic surgeon at Emory in Atlanta said he would recommend taking out the mass and that part of the lung. That was February 27, 2017. I was in intensive care for a week. When I got home a couple of days later my Surgeon called me and told me that the biopsies he took during surgery came back positive for cancer in my lymph nodes. I said now what? He told me I would go in once a year for a Ct Scan with contrast. This is March 2023 as I write this and every year I’ve went for my CT scan and so far lungs are clear and the cancer has never raised it’s ugly little head anywhere else. I give Jesus all the glory because I have relied on him these past years. I am 68 with 5 wonderful grandchildren and just take everything one day at a time. I was never a smoker and didn’t believe I had cancer until my pet scan. Lung cancer is not a death sentence! Just stay strong!

My husband passed away from lung cancer. He had no symptoms, nothing. We were only alerted that there was a problem when one day he coughed up some blood. He was always healthy and rarely sick, so this came as a complete surprise. Because of this, I urge one and all to start having yearly (at least) lung x-rays. Same is true for women (especially older women) to have yearly PAP smears. I, too, have always been quite healthy and rarely sick. I decided to go to a GYN because it had been a number of years and I thought it was about time. I, too, had no symptoms, nothing. But the GYN had ordered some tests and found I had endometrium cancer. Thank G-d, we found it early. I have no history of cancer in my family, yet I contracted it. According to what I have heard and read, 25% of cancer patients do not have a family history of cancer, which is why it is so very important to have these yearly medical tests so that if there is a medical problem, it can be found early enough to have the problem cured.

Good luck to you.

I was very angry because prior to us getting married, he made me get all this testing done for sexually transmitted diseases, which I’ve been married 30 years! Of course everything came back negative. But they do not test men for HPV. And he refused to get any sexually transmitted testing done anyway. And here he was the one that’s been sexually promiscuous for 40 years. I am so over men they’re not even worth it. I am in no way interested in women, but if this marriage don’t work, I would never remarry. Never never.

May God bless you and give you strength! I pray that God will heal you and you will be around to raise your beautiful boys! Our stories are so similar! I was dx in August 2020 with non- small cell lung adenocarcinoma with mets to the brain, liver and adrenal gland, never a smoker! I was working as an RN for 12 years. My youngest boy was 3 at the time, also my husband’s name is Nick!! My oncologist advocated for me and I got the molecular testing done, my mutation was ALK positive, on targeted treatment since then (Alectinib). My scans are still looking good, thanks to the Lord, Almighty!

I know of at least three people with stage 4 cancer and inoperable brain cancer who were sent home to die by their medical doctors and cured themselves %100 by taking DMSO! I myself have used DMSO to completely cure my severe case of spinal arthritis! It works and it can save your life!

A friend of my brother who was a marathon runner super fit and had never smoked or even drank alcohol had lung cancer and it had spread to most of his body.He had no pain and nearly no symptoms. The only reason they picked it up was he started to run out of breath during his training runs so he got checked out.I know 5 women that i went to school with in the 1970s who started smoking when they were 9 and 10. They were a group of friends that all started at the same time. They are still smoking today and are very healthy in their mid 60s.They get regular checkups and their doctor told them on their last one that they are perfectly healthy. You just cant pick who will get it or not.

I also know someone who followed the Gleason diet. Tiffany please look into this. He had stage IV lung cancer and was told there was nothing else they could do, so his wife researched. He followed this for a year, and now he has been cancer free for years. He was only 38 at the time and told he had 6 months at most.

[@kkdoc7864]

As a Dr, I always think of the worst diagnosis a set of symptoms can be. Did they do a chest X-ray when you first had rib pain and cough? Did you even use a pulse ox? Did they test the pleural fluid for cancer? Did you ever have a positive culture for an infectious etiology.? It sounds like your diagnosis was delayed, and that happened especially during Covid foe a number of reasons. I am so sorry you had to be alone in the hospital. And that was totally unnecessary. My prayers are with you guys. 🙏

Cancer is hideous at any age and stage of life, but especially heartbreaking when it strikes young healthy people. Still, there is so much hope. I am amazed at the medical advancements there are now. New treatments are always around the corner. It seems that the entire human race is up in arms against this dreaded disease. Keep fighting. Everything is possible❤

[@meahdahlgren6537]

Right

[@martahernandez9784]

Younger people have a better chance. Being old with cancer is dreadful and devastating also, and old people feel as much emotional pain as young people. We sometimes forget this. An older person dying is not less heartbreaking than a young one. If we believe and say this, it causes an aversion to older people. All ages are hit as a tradegy with cancer.

[@TheeWarriorPrincess]

If you have cancer you are tech not a young healthy individual - in fact you are the opposite but nice try with fake news!

[@rebeccakarlsson1395]

@@martahernandez9784 yes. Horrible at all ages. But I have to say that I am glad that I got cancer in my 50s (still quite young nowadays) rather than before I had even experienced life with marriage, children, travel etc. I feel actually fortunate to have lived a “complete” life before cancer came in and took so much. At least I have my memories and experiences of a normal cancer free life. Younger cancer patients, even when they survive, have the dark shadow of this disease following them for the rest of their lives. This shadow, and fear of recurrence is, to me, one of the worst parts of this so called “journey”. So please don’t think that I don’t care when an older person gets cancer but maybe I just see things more relatively because of my own personal cancer experience. The less of our lives that this disease claims, the better. In this regard someone who gets it at an older age is better off than someone who gets it younger. I don’t think anyone could disagree with this.

[@donkey3187]

@@martahernandez9784 Yes it is...they have their whole life ahead of them. Its far more tragic when a young person dies than someone who has lived their life.

My best friend of almost 25 years was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer last September. He is also a nonsmoker. MD Anderson told him his home doc team (ATL) was doing what they, themselves, would do so he was able to return home. He is generally feeling better than he was over the holidays and we are lucky to have him with us for most weekends. I really appreciate you sharing all of this info with us. I hope for all of the best for you and your family.
