    Okay!! a bit more serious of a video goin' down today. I decided to tell you guys the story of how I found out that I had cancer - specifically, Hodgkin's Lymphoma - when I was 20. I ended up having a lot more to talk about than I thought, so I'm gonna be breaking this one down into installments.
    Hope you guys... enjoy? this story, and if you've ever had a similar experience, please share in the comments!

    Doggo snores are the perfect soundtrack.💜 Also, i'm sorry you slipped through the cracks, and I'm glad it was caught before something worse happened. You really don't think about things like that when you're young, and I'm super glad you had parents who cared and urged you where you needed to go.

      It's so true! We all think we are unbreakable when we're young. Thank you so so much. I'm so grateful for my parents for finally forcing me to go to a doctor!

    Hi Lizzy, I guess this is one of those times that I don't believe in coincidences. Instead, I believe I was meant to see this particular video, that you created scroll down my feed. I had just been texting a friend about putting off some concerns with my health, and one symptom has been enlarged lymph nodes that started in my neck. After texting, this video showed up. My gut told me to watch it. I am so thankful that I did. You reminded me that ignoring my symptoms isn't going to get me the care or reassurance that I need. So, I want you to know I will be booking the tests my GP has ordered, and I will be making the necessary medical appointments too. Thank you SO much for doing this video! Please never hesitate to share your stories, as it could make a huge difference in someone's life. I hope you are as well as can be! Many blessings being sent your way. 🦋🙏💙

      @livin with lizzy - thank you for your kind reply. I did as I said I would...I started right away on getting tests started and booking with my GP. It has led to more tests and seeing Specialists. It has been a stressful and scary time, but it is necessary. I can't thank you enough for helping me to face the importance of dealing with any health concerns, instead of avoiding them. Heartfelt healing hugs and loads of love are being sent your way. 🦋👼🕯✨️🙏💙

      Remember the bible says our tounge is the steerage of our ship so we shouldn't say bad things about ourself. We should say, "I don't have lymphoma in Jesus' name." "I am not dying in Jesus' name." Jesus is Lord of all, His name has power and is healing. Always only speak good things about your life in Jesus' name.

"My son does not have cancer in Jesus' name." Jesus is Lord of all and His name has power and is healing." Always only speak good things about your life and we should speak only good things about our kids life. The bible says the power of life and death lies in our tounge and who ever loves it will eat of it's fruit. God loves you and your son so much. I just want you to know you have victory in Jesus' name and speak it every day.

    Is that dog snoring I hear? Cancer isn't a death sentence but it is very upsetting when you get the initial diagnosis. Glad you are still on the earth to spread your story.

    • @livinwithlizzy
      @livinwithlizzy  4 года назад +5

      Yes it is! That snoring is the soundtrack to my life!
      And you're absolutely correct - I never actually once worried about dying. While it was an unsettling diagnosis and led to a year of treatment, I knew from the start that it was a treatable disease. My oncologist once even said "if you're gonna get cancer, this is the one to get". Haha!
      And thank you so much!

    Hey got the all clear of Hodgkin lymphoma back in may and diagnosed again 4 months later in September, lol wasn’t expecting it to come back so quickly, ( also have M.S and Crohn’s disease) last year I originally put down my issues to ear infection for 3 months, went to Greece for 2 weeks and was still suffering, went to see doctor start of November, she said my ears were clear but she was worried about my huge swollen neck 🤣🤣🤣. Thought it was all to do with ear infections, long story short got my diagnosis Christmas Eve last year, and it’s back already, oh well, shit happens tomorrow is another day

    At first i was not worried about nodes swelling, but then when i got meningitis doctors while reviewing my ct scan saw them all over my body... I had biopsy of a lymph node and it came up to be hockins lymphoma. Yeah that changed everything about my life. It all went downhill. Its strange i was a freelance concept artist for videogames and my dream too was finishing art school.

Shes tested me for anemia, narcolepsy, hyperthyroidism, something with my liver, and a few more but stopped remembering them bc ive had so many. I do however have an autoimmune disorder. Ive been on every med and nothing helps.

      Although, any palpable lymph node in your neck armpit or groin that stay dormant longer than 9 and 10 days should always be checked out and a reason for concern especially if the lymph node is not rubbery and turning hard or getting larger... That goes double if you're losing weight and have a nice sweats or feeling fatigued
