Thank you for sharing your story. I am facing scary symptoms right now and all of these stories give me so many tools in my arsenal.

Wishing you the best, thank you for uploading this! ♥️🙏🙏

Thanks, Emmy!

[@jenniferbuchanan6562]

I wish the people sharing their stories started a little bit slower by going into the progression of their original symptoms rather than vaulting right into the tests they took.

Please upload these as one long video again instead of in parts

[@ThePatientStory]

Thank you for your feedback! We try to weigh feedback as much as possible and have heard people like the videos in shorter segments to make them easier to follow. I'd love to hear your feedback on why a longer video is better for you - feel free to send me a note [e-mail]. Thank you for watching!

[@ladystardust04]

@@ThePatientStory personally I like how a long video feels like a podcast style in a way. And I like having just one video in my watch later on RUclips instead of having to add 3

[@ThePatientStory]

Ah, that makes sense. We are actually trying to work on uploading just audio onto our platform for people who like podcast-format better. Hoping to execute soon - maybe that will be better? Appreciate your feedback!

@@ThePatientStory I don't mind the 3 part version but I always have difficulty finding the part 2 and 3 videos. Still love them! Very helpful to me as a newly diagnosed stage 4 non small cell lung cancer person.

@@SLew-re6hi Thank you for this! We link to the next video but it doesn’t pop up till the end so I’ll try to update these with links in the description :). -Stephanie

I just had my biopsy done and I did not know I was on the planet they knocked me completely out for my procedure ..I had this fear of waking up in the middle of him being down my throat with the endoscope but I worried for nothing thankfully they knocked me completely out for the procedure .

Wonder how she is now 🙏🏻❤️

[@CamiJoPell]

I’m curious if she mentioned the size the tumor was ?

[@ThePatientStory]

Hi Cami, not sure but her full transcript is here → www.thepatientstory.com/cancers/lung-cancer/non-small-cell/terri-c/. I hope that is helpful. -Stephanie

Why are her plants sparkly?

[@AtMyHappyPlace]

I was thinking the same thing but maybe her window is open and they are moving from a breeze.

[@onlychild4332]

Maybe she has put fairy lights in the plant
