Getting a diagnosis like that at such a young age would be terrifying. Your bravery and positive attitude is truely remarkable. I hope you make a full recovery.
@@californiadoll6273 I wasn't trying to minimize how terrifying this would be for anyone at any age. It is just jarring to see someone so close in age to my baby sister going through something like this. The younger the person, the more it hurts to realize their youth and innocence is marred by the trauma of illness. Seeing a person face a potentially life ending illness at such a young age feels unfair (though I know cancer and life are not fair). No one deserves to go through the hell that is cancer. And it is tragic to see someone robbed of their early 20s; a time in which many of us never imagine having to face our own mortality.
@@aminatadiallo8197I’m now 76 and a 25-year breast cancer survivor. I understood what you meant by your earlier comment. I hate it that young people get cancers. It’s bad enough when it happens to someone in her fifties (as was my situation) or older, but at least that person has had decades of living, and can have decades more if treatments work and one has good luck and is able to afford those treatments. For someone much younger (or a child or even an infant) to have a cancer, life is just starting. I wish your sister and you everything good.
You are so young to be going through this. How difficult for you. I was dx with st3c clear cell aggressive endometrial cancer 1 yr. ago. I am almost 83. My heart goes out to you. I had a hysterectomy, chemo, radiation and am now on immunotherapy.. I will be having a scan this week. This is a journey. Bless you. You are a terrific young lady.🔻
Thank you so much for your comment! We are wishing you the very best in your diagnosis and with scans coming up this week. If you're interested in sharing your story, here is our introductory survey: thepatientstory.com/share-your-story/
Bless you 🙏 I was diagnosed in 2019 with stage 1b endometrial cancer. I had a complete hysterectomy and did 6 months chemo and internal radiation. I’ve been cancer free but just recently started having some unusual pain in the stomach area. I go Thursday for a CT scan. Praying to God it’s just a kidney stone but I must admit, I’m very nervous about it. You are a very strong young lady. Keep the faith and always keep fighting…much love♥️
Thank you for sharing your story 🥹 My daughter is 21 and having some serious cramping and bleeding, yet she won't take me seriously. I shared this video with her and she went to see an OBGYN finally on Monday this week. Still waiting for all test results to come in. But you sharing your story could have saved her life. You are a rare gem amongst a field of rocks. All my heart, love, and prayers are with you ❤
You are so strong and positive. I had a endometrial biopsy yesterday to find out why I’m bleeding. Thank you for your video it makes me feel that at ease.
My 32 year old daughter was diagnosed with endometrial cancer several years ago. Numerous Doctors diagnosed her with pelvic floor dysfunction. I had to fight with the insurance company to get her an MRI which finally provided an accurate diagnosis. After a total hysterectomy, months of chemo, and endless prayers, she’s a survivor. May you have a complete recovery and live a long life.
Cancer does change everyone. I am a 10yr breast cancer survivor and 4 months of chemo was tough. You are my hero, your strength is amazing❤. Stay fierce, positive and fight❤

@@Irishrose777 I am not sure what would show up with an mri. Due to the clotting my doctor performed a biopsy and found the endometrial cancer. I had a hysterectomy and during the follow up visit the oncologist saw two different cancers on the pathology report.
I was diagnosed in January had hysterectomy, 6 rounds of Chemo treatment with immunotherapy. CT scheduled onthis Thursday. Praying that is all gone and won't need radiation treatment.

Thats what i am looking at..diagnosed in May. I have 3 riunds if chemo under my belt,surgery up coming and 3 more rounds after that..then ? Whats next...just keep going!! We got this!😊@ThePatientStory
Each time it comes back, it comes back stronger. The fact her doctors didn't tell her this means they don't have faith in the treatments they are giving her.

I wish MDs would listen to us when we say something is not feeling right, and not brush us off, or give us platitudes and a script for an OTC pain meds.
I wish they believed that we know our bodies and we know what we feel and where. I think doctors are trained to believe that patient doesn't actually know what they are feeling. They want to give quick answers using the most obvious diagnosis. It takes years to be heard! Why do people have to get so sick before they are listened to?
Lexi you're beautiful!! I appreciate u telling your story. Im having a D&C bc of bleeding, cramping & contipation... I have a polyp my Obgyn said must be removed & that may be the cause. I feel it's cancer. Your story is inspiring & I hope you're feeling well. Thank u from the bottom of my heart for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏 XOXO FROM KIM IN MARYLAND
Watching this reminded me of my own battle with endometrial cancer. I recently recorded my story on my RUclips channel, hoping to connect with others and let them know they're not alone.
Thank you for your story Lexie. This is the first story of someone younger I have seen as many of these stories are told by post menopausal women. I just found out that I have a 20mm endometrial stripe which is a bit worrying for me as I am in a space in my cycle where that is really thick so I’ve been researching this while waiting for my biopsy. I haven’t had much bleeding or weird periods but I have been to the ER for abdominal pains which much like you, haven’t resulted in much. The only reason I know about this inside today is because my GYN send me for an internal ultrasound to check on an ovarian cyst (which was gone btw). It’s so hard being a younger woman because many of our symptoms are just blamed on our periods as if we can’t get cancer at younger ages.
I'm certain others will appreciate you sharing that life is about living it to the fullest. That there is no room for giving up. Continue to power through this and best wishes to you and all your loved ones.
I had endometrial adenocarcinoma at age 24 with symptoms, then last year at age 47 was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, which I had no symptoms of.
Very good observation! Most of the medical insurance company covers one per year. The 2nd or 3 the patients has to pay for it. In my case it’s one per year by my gyno-oncologist.
@@dr.eliciarosen-fox1354 another thing is the way we eat. My oncologist has a FB page where he’s always reminding people and his patients as to what we should do. Eat nutritious food, do exercise, don’t have stress and avoid sugars, fats, etc. continue visits to Dr and have screenings/tests.
Hi you truly have a backbone and dem some.... I was pregnant with my 6th child at 42 yrs old he was a few weeks earlier but still 9 lbs 2.5 oz. But after getting the hang of things with the new baby at home and my bleeding was a huge concern of mine because he was born in Sept and my bleeding was quite a lot of clots sizes of grapefruit and yams and apples soaking 9 heavy flow pads doubled and stopped in August of the next year I m diagnosed with lupus nephritis and my Dr thinks it's not just the lupus nephritis anymore I was 170 lbs in 2022 and now present day I am 110.6 lbs losing my hair in clumps the pain that lasts for weeks I'm just wanting to get a second opinion on this
When I was 22 I would have my periods for close to a month as well and they did an ablation.. I am 45 now and started having two period after not having a period for 23 years. I am going in to check for endometriosis. I am so fatigued. I have felt it is different. I’m kinda scared. Not going to lie.

Hi Lexie, hope your journey this time around goes well. Please start considering by changing your eating habits. Sugar feeds cancer cells. Keto diet is highly recommended by oncologists. Going to coffee shops is great, but don't have them include sugar in your coffee. Anything cooked with seed oils (vegetable oil, corn oil, safflower, etc.) are highly inflammatory. Please research cancer along with keto intermittent fasting carnivore sugar (all the terms). There are doctors on RUclips that talk about it. If you keep eating a standard American diet, cancer will keep coming back. I pray you see this message
Who knows what is the best diet or cancer might be genetic. My aunt ( uncle’s wife ) not direct family . Had liver cancer . Doctors gave her 3 -6 months more to live . She found a holistic doctor . Who only use nature and seed to cure cancer . NO red meat at all . Very strict diet base in plants and sea food but may be clean if pesticide. She lived 10 years more .
Agree... I also had endometrial ca grade 1, I refused hysterectomy, then I stop sugar and all sweet food and beverage, i do Intermitance Fasting 2 times a week, do Vegan diet, drink lots of water and take suplemen vit like : D3K2 1000K, Magnesium, Zinc, B12, E, do morning walk every day. And so far so good my body quite fit, butI lost weight 20 kg.
I wonder if a stem cell transplant would be an option for you after you are in remission for a while? I hope so. Cancer is the worst thing ever. Stay strong, fight the good fight and keep the faith.
This lady has symptoms like I have had in the past but I did not go to ER I did something else but don't have cancer. I had bad female cramps before my period with no blood for 10 days or 12 then nothing for about 2 days then a period cramps and blood 7 days then 2 days nothing then another 7 day period well whatever this all was it was like a month long period that got taken care of with birth controll but I had a cyst on an ovary that is considered normal.
