- This is my story on what it was like having Hodgkins lymphoma cancer. Today, I am in remission and fully recovered from the effects of chemo. I am grateful to be where I am now, and know that I wouldn't be here without a great team of doctors, my family, and friends.

I had stage 4 Hodgkins I was diagnosed 16th September 2016 and I am now 2.5 years in remission :) x
What were your symptoms? if you don't mind.
Radovan Vico it started with a cough. Never went away. Constant tiredness. Anaemia. Loosing weight. Achey. Sweaty and hot flushes. After all that I Then I found a lump above my collar bone & I was referred. After 2 biopsies it showed Hodgkins. On my PET scan it had spread everywhere as it took 9 months to be diagnosed I kept being told I had anxiety.
@@charlee2149 That's horrible, doctors are often very dissmisive, my doctor even rolled her eyes at me, i've done many blood tests, neck and groin ultrasound, i have 2 enlarged lymph nodes, CT scan of my head becuase of headaches, thankfully there isn't anything on my brain but these lymph nodes aren't shrinking and it's been over a year and a half, i have random body aches every day, i'm going to push for biopsy, how are you doing now, are you doing chemo, how do you feel? I hope you are strong and have family support.
Radovan Vico that doesn’t sound serious. Personally, you’d be extremely poorly by now. Don’t take my word for it thou.
I had chemo for 7 months and I am now all clear.
@@charlee2149 Yeah, i understand but i have shortness of breath, tiredness but maybe i'm tripping, all i know is i don't feel right for a long time now, i'm glad you're good now, wish you all the best.
You have been through SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! I’m so happy you are doing well. I’m so sorry about everything you’ve been through. I hope nothing else bad happens to you. So proud of you.
You are a trooper. I also had Hodgkins Lymphoma at 17. I'm now 22 and in remission... watching this resonated with me so much. I am totally there with you xx
Man you've been through a lot, you're a freaking warrior. You're such a beautiful young woman. You keep fighting everything life throws at you, I hope the best for you. Never give up ever, Keep living through life.
Wow, u have been though so much. You have gone through anorexia and even cancer, u my girl are strong. U have my respect, i wish u the best.
I don’t get how people can go through this much pain. But you are sooooo brave and you can go through anything, I hope your going well now.
Good job Nicole

@@ebbarichtmann2038 yeah?
Jules Burritt this was a while ago
You're so incredibly strong and beautiful. This video was very humbling. Your platform makes a difference, and I can see how mature you are. I pray for your health to improve and stay better 💕
Oh man Brescia. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but this popped up in my recommended and I immediately remembered you from your anorexia video years ago!!! You have the most beautiful and wise perspectives and I’m wishing you well.
Wow. Thank you so much for this comment and for following along with my story. Means more than you know!
it's so cool you never lost your hair, what a crazy miracle!
oh my gosh your life has been so tough ! I am so so sorry , you are a beautiful awesome person and you are so tough ! I am so so so proud of you xxx
Thank you for sharing your story, I just watched all three of your videos and I have to say that it really moved me. I haven't had a past quite like yours, but I have struggled with bipolar among a few other things and your videos have helped me cope a little bit. You're so strong and I admire your strength I'm so happy you got the grit tattoo! I hope things settle down for you. I just had to say thank you and I think you're amazing
Losing my hair was the only part of my cancer experience that I had control over - I chose to shave head earlier on and bought some really nice wigs. Yes people stared, but I didn't care what they thought.
I did the same. Shaved my head really early on for the same reason
Wow brave girl, I know exactly how you feel, my daughter is going through this right now, exactly the same as you. She has at this moment had 4 chemo sessions , 2 more to go . She also has thinning hair, and quite a bit has come out , I am just hoping the next 2 treatments don’t make it worse. I am so glad you did not lose your hair . It is a big thing for anybody. You doing this video really does help people going through the same thing . My daughter had no lumps in neck, but had a cough for a long time and coughed up lots of phlegm, dr thought it best to do a x ray , which led to a scan, and then blood tests , NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID WE EXPECT CANCER . I hope you are still clear of it , and would love an update on how things are now after 3 years since you posted this video . PLEASE 🙏 🌸🌺🌸🌸🌺
I remember the moment I got my cancer diagnosis in 2018, it's earth shattering, sharing this is so powerful! But yes loosing my hair was so hard, I had my hair made into a wig as I got married in 2018 and I didn't want to remember the worst of chemo but the memories of love, it's so hard to feel like people understand, and it's powerful hearing my own feelings coming out of your mouth
Hi how r u now.....
You are so amazing, I truly admire how strong you are💕
Wow your one brave women with everything you have been through in ur life xxx

You are so brave to have gone through all this. I have hodgkins lymphoma as well and just finished my 5 rounds of chemo and will be starting one month of radiation therapy in a few weeks.
You are amazing. I’m on my 3rd chemo right now and it’s tough. It’s inspiring to see someone that has been through what I’m going through. Im so glad you are doing well.
Is she OK now.God Bless her 🙏🙏🙏
Good lord you’ve been through so much! You’re a toughest girl ever. I sure you’re doing much better now.
You are truly a survivor wow! You are amazing
Wow you have gone through a lot .. I’m so happy your better now
I have Hodgkins too. Did 12 chemos but unfortunately not in remission. I now have to do a stem cell transplant. Beautiful video!
What stage are you?
@@meong1992 I was stage 2 both times.
@@ohyouresotough0 was it relapse so you had to get transplant?
Tomorrow is my last chemo before CT scans and radiation
Sending you lots of love from Australia!
Prayers for her she’s been through anorexia cancer and bipolar Ness she’s a superhero
I was diagnosed with Hodgkins stage 2 two months ago, I have my 4th treatment next week Tuesday, and I recently shaved my head because I could not bear seeing my hair go. awesome to hear your story, Brescia. at the end of your video I heard you are at NAU! crazy, I was there my junior year for an exchange program many years ago.
how have you been?
@@AimeeryDC in remission for a year and a half now, thanks for asking . my body has bounced back from all of it
Brescia - make a photo book - so many people will buy it - I betcha!
You are awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing your story is helping me to stay strong. Thank you.
May God always bless and protect you sweetheart ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are such an amazing human being. You shine and deserve the world! You inspire me so much.
Thank you for your videos! PS: Mom‘s are the best ❤️
OMG you are so brave, you have gone through so much.
Brescia, you should take all the beautiful photographs taken of you since you were a little girl with anorexia and the beautiful horse, Blue. Then you developed Bipolar (more beautiful photos). And now Lymphoma... and you are still a brave, beautiful girl and someone is still taking wonderful photos of you. This could be a fantastic "coffee table" book that I would love. Anyone with any of your troubles would love to have this book. What do you think?
@@margotfitsch1443 wow! What a thoughtful comment and a really neat idea!
Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you all the blessing and a long healthy life.
Can we talk about this photography?
You're so strong! Your hair looks so cute too!

I m also suffered from NOn Hodgkin lymphoma stage 2........but i m also stay with happy....
Kya hua tha aapko
U should be a model
I went from her Ed story to this cancer story.... 💔
I just think this needs to be said you are breathtaking gorgeous ❤️
Beautiful girl for sure. Wonderful photos too.
Such a brave girl 💜
i recently went for 9 biopsy's just waiting for my results saw your other video aboit being Bi-Polar i suffer from a severe Bi-Polar disorder i hope you get better i just recently came across your videos i also have something called auto-immune disease and achalasia i know how it feela to be worried and whatnot sorry to hear about what you're going through
oh gosh i hope your doing okay during these times
yeah i'am kind of,the biopsy's i went for and all these other tests that were done on me this past year for my health issues,turnsout their were doing them in the wrong part of my body when they shouldve been checking around my Thyroid/Throat area as thats where the problems are,theirs a lump inside my throat and now i have to do most of these tests over again including CT scans,PET scans,Biopsy's,met with a Thyroid and Esophageal surgeon this past week and he wants to do all the tests again before considering surgery
@@tahkootzquinn5209how are you doing with achalasia .. my nephew is suffering so bad with it
@@tahkootzquinn5209 Best of luck to you - I hope the treatments go well.
Was your lump hard and not movable? What size was it
Unfortunately my sister is the very unlucky refractory group, her cancer did not respond good enough so she is likely going to need stem cell transplant and high dose chemo, has this happened to anyone else?
You are a survivor!!!!!
bless you beautiful video
There's really no reason to be upset about hair loss
no reason? It wasn’t her choice, smh.Hair loss due to chemo is pretty upsetting!
@@madavykeo4602 accepting the reality of cancer is hard but hair will come back
@@shereehi5539 it doesn’t always come back the same.
I had a friend who had chemo with hair loss. She had always had straight hair and wanted curly hair. Guess what! Her new hair came in curly, just as she wanted!
U are an amazing person I'd love to meet you also u should be a model
My mom had stage 3 cancer (don’t know what scientific name cancer but it was butt cancer) she had cemo but she dint lose her hair it was 2015 and I was in 1st grade I’m so glad I didn’t lose my mom it runs in my family my grandpa lost his life from it I never got to meet him I remember the day I went to see her in the hospital and she was blown up, (like a ballon) and I remember just crying so much she of corse didn’t come back 100 % but in my eyes she is now 110%
You are lovable, you have no idea
Same story dear ☺️
Ahh girl you have been through so much cancer and majorly bad anorexia
🙏🙏🙏
Jesus loves you.
😭
Thank God you could afford to see a doctor! Or you might not have caught it in time.
