Thanks for sharing your story, Kris. I would hope to have just a fraction of your humanity, humor, and intelligence if I met the same health challenges as you.
I am 29 years old with Hodgkins Lymphoma. I have an identical twin sister and she doesn't have Hodgkins and hopefully never will. She's also my caretaker ;P
I’m 14F and I’m worried that I have Lymphoma because I have swollen lymph nodes in my armpit and it feels kinda big. It feels rubbery not really hard and feels like it spread to lymph nodes in my armpit. Also in my neck I think it spread to my neck! I’m scared but if I do have cancer I hope it’s Hodgkin Lymphoma because it’s more treatable than Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I have no night sweats, rashes, headaches, abdominal pain, fatigue, none of that. I think I might have like stage 2 Lymphoma because I don’t have any serious symptoms (yet). 💗💗💗💗
@@Nohablogringo- Go get it checked out...NOW!!! I urge you if you're worried because the sooner it's checked out the sooner it'll be fixed, don't wait for things to get worse, that's the mistake many people have made
@@Nohablogringo- Forever Happy and Healthy Balance ❤️ It's was Safe and more guarantee to trust you, #Drdodoyi ...
In New Zealand we have the ‘Topp Twins’. Dame Linda and Dame Jules. They are famous Sister entertainers. They both got breast cancer at the same time. Extremely sad. They are both still fighting
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My symptoms began the same way. Horrific backache that never let up. I had 2 types of this cancer. Follicular remains. Hope both you and your brother are doing well now. 😊
I was able to get ride of my I'll Herpes after the holidays herbs from Drdodoyi contact on RUclips now..
It's interesting how patients have access to their medical records and results before seeing consultants and specialists, and how you book / arrange your own CTs / MRIs on your own, and that your GP / Primary doesn't do it.
This is the exact cancer that my dad had- twice. He was in remission for about 7 years.
Wish he could just tell his story without a moderator 😅
