Loved your honest story!!!why are people so hesitant to talk about how painful cancer is and how sick the treatments can make you. I want the truth...and I think its cruel to make cancer look fun and easy on social media while people are really horribly suffering physically and mentally...but everything these days is meant to get likes and views I guess
In aug 2023 I found out that I had stage 4 stomach cancer that had also spread to 3 Celiac lymph nodes, I was MSI=high and Mutational burden=high, in oct 2023 I started nivolumab/opdivo and ipilimumab/yervoy as first line and my only treatment. In june 10, 2024 I had a CT scan and the tumors are no longer visible and no signs of cancer spreading to any other part of the body. I did have an adverse reaction to treatment and now have Adrenal insufficiency and Hypothyroidism for which I have to take medication every day. I will continue Opdivo for at least 2 years and have CT scans every 6 months.
Yeah cancer is caused by low iodine. In 1924 the FDA recommended daily amount was 500 micrograms today it's just 150 micrograms. You can Google molecular iodine kills cancer all cancer. And from talking to so many people all iodine when strong enough kills cancer. I used pvp and tincture making a 10% absorbable solution I applied to my skin others used lugols
I am so sick of people saying that you have to have blood in your stool before diagnosed with bowel cancer! This was not my symptom! I couldn’t eat any food high in volume and had bowel obstruction! constant vomiting for 4 months if I ate anything too high in volume
Canadian here, and I've asked my Doc about screening Colonoscopy several times, I'm age 55, and he keeps saying "Nah, we have FIT tests for blood in the stool"! It's very frustrating!!
@@tamiewert808keep demanding! Idk if you can but look into self pay. Thats what I am doing to get seen faster.. im gonna have to pay $2500 for both colonoscopy and endoscopy
God bless you sweetie, you’ve had a rough journey but it’s so lovely to see you looking so fabulous after all that, now behind you thank heavens. Xxxxxxx
Gosh, bless you Sophie. Quite the journey! So sorry for what you've been through but SO glad to see you looking so future and well now. Looooong may your remission continue. All beat wishes to you and thank you for sharing your story. Love and light. 😊 xx
I was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer in January 2024. I started chemotherapy on March 3rd and had two infusions on Folfox three weeks apart. My numbers CEA and CA began to drop. My oncologist decided to start immunotherapy on April 1st with Keytruda and I've been having infusions every three weeks. My tumor markers dropped even more, down from 13.58 at the beginning of my chemo, lowered to 6.0 in mid June. Suddenly, both numbers began to rise, my CEA rose to 9.75 and my CA which was down to 25.5 rose to 31.2. During my sixth infusion in July my CA started to drop once again to 21.7. I'm hearing from other cancer survivors that when cancer cells die, unfortunately they don't always have a way to dispose themselves from your body so they just gather someplace within your body and that could be the reason why they rose. Don't know for sure, but I'll stay on the Immunotherapy until the tumor is gone.
OMGosh- what a crying shame it took your doctors over there in England such a loooong time to do a colonoscopy! They should have done it at the same time as your endoscopy.
That’s what they call free medicine in Europe. If you have a cancer stage 1, you’ll be on a waiting list, then they take care of stage 4. Nothing it’s free in this world.
It makes me mad the empty offers of "help" from people! People should never ask if you need help, or the good ol' "let me know if you need anything" garbage! DONT ASK, JUST HELP. In Sophie's case, bring vegetarian meals over for her. Come over and tell her you need her shopping list, then go and shop for her, organise looking after her kids, picking up and dropping them off, come over do some housework. I cant stand empty offers of help. Dont ask, just do it. Sophie, you're so brave and beautiful and I'm glad you appear to be beating the odds. You're a lovely person! 🇦🇺 🙏💖
So sorry this took so long to diagnose - way too long imo! Bless you. And I agree Chemos quite horrific (although necessary) 🤯 Keep fighting the fight 💪
I've had severe pain after colonoscopy as a rather large biopsy was taken from an already painful rectum. It is sad that they wait for blood in the stools before they do anything.
We are given a sedative as well I Canada too for both. However my very first experience with endoscopy I was not and suffered horribly as I had so much mucous I was choking on.
I can’t believe they took their time like this, several months went by; that was too long by the time colonoscopy done and diagnosis of CA She should have gone to ER hospital and let them take care of her right there and then
Don't eat processed foods , reduce sugar and dairy ( almond milk is good ) eat berries, red grapes , steel cut oats , red cabbage , brown rice and beans beans - and god bless you !!
You are usually offered a colonoscopy in the UK when you have blood in your stools or a test shows it,but you can get left behind if you have other symptoms as they can be IBS,that so many people have.I think it's a good idea to ask for an inflammation test on your stool,to show it isn't IBS,and advocate.Having said that,my first GP wasn't going to do anything when I had blood in my sick and stools,and just gave me anti acid meds,I spoke to her several times,and she did nothing,it was telling another GP,that finally sent me for a colonoscopy!
@@juliej5917 Your immune system is the cure. The drug just stimulates it into action. It is also what failed and allowed cancer to develop in the first place and this is usually related to diet and lifestyle.
Adriamycin is the “red devil.” It’s used for breast cancer (and other cancers, perhaps). I had it combined with Cytoxan when I had triple-positive breast cancer twenty-five years ago (been okay so far). I may have had a reduced amount of those chemos, as my infusions lasted only about an hour each - I had four in total, three weeks apart - but I’ve heard from others that their infusions of that combo lasted several hours each infusion. I was able to work and socialize even while on chemo, though I always felt queasy, had a metallic taste in my mouth, etc. It was doable.
I've coughed and clearing of throat /drowning sensation and airway tight.. Diagnosis.. Unexplained medical.. Excruciating pain in ear.. Makes me have nausea.. Affects now my lungs.. Sore throat 365 days of the year. Blocked nose on right side.. This was a result of a past operation.. My heart rhythm is out and also my breath /. No one to help.. Awful journey

@carriefawcett9990 I'm one of those people that offer "empty offers" from my heart. I'll people don't always want intrusion into their space. Cancer puts are prone not to want to eat what you make them. Sugar items are out of the question. Sugar feeds cancer. It's comforting to let the patient/friend know they are in your thoughts. There's two sides to every pancake. Not everyone looks at things the same way as you do.

You didn't take the transgenic RNA mutagen did you?

@fariyakiran1955 It's type of cancer medicine.

Keytruda is immunotherapy? I didnt know that.
I have been following you on insta for years, so good to see you here! Thank you for all the educational work that you do!
Hi what is her insta please?
What an amazing story!
Wow what an amazing story! ❤
Great message at the end! Thank you and all the best to you :)
Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm amazed at how much people go through. I truly hope you remain NED. All the best to you and yours.
May God continue to watch over you.
Thankyou for your story Sophie.
What a lovely, engaging lady. An awful time - hope she is enjoying herself now xx

So 😊 happy for you, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love jayne from bristol.
So sorry this took so long to diagnose - way too long imo! Bless you. And I agree Chemos quite horrific (although necessary) 🤯 Keep fighting the fight 💪
In the USA. We are put out for colonopospy and endoscopy wow. We have zero pain even after
I've had severe pain after colonoscopy as a rather large biopsy was taken from an already painful rectum. It is sad that they wait for blood in the stools before they do anything.
We are given a sedative as well I Canada too for both. However my very first experience with endoscopy I was not and suffered horribly as I had so much mucous I was choking on.
I can’t believe they took their time like this, several months went by; that was too long by the time colonoscopy done and diagnosis of CA
She should have gone to ER hospital and let them take care of her right there and then
Did they provide pain medicine for you for all this, i hope. Thank you for your story
Question? Did you take the C.ovid shot?
wow great
❤beautiful
Don't eat processed foods , reduce sugar and dairy ( almond milk is good ) eat berries, red grapes , steel cut oats , red cabbage , brown rice and beans beans - and god bless you !!
Congratulations
NHS are soo over stretched you have to be your own advocate here in 🇬🇧 as if your not the g p will just dismiss you , well that’s my experience
It’s the same in Canada.
Same in the USA, and we don't have national healthcare.
@@Sasbie65That depends on your doctor, seems in my area everyone, regardless of age, are pretty rapidly told they want to do colonoscopies

Isn’t this chemo drug combo called “the red devil” in the States due to its brutal (yet life saving) drug reaction?
Congrats! 🎉 immunotherapy seems like a cure for many. ❤

Of course you weren’t dancing around your chemo pole! You were starving and being poisoned..💔
I literally read your comment as she said it. 😮
I assume your doctor is aware of your constant throat clearing issue
I would guess not!
Nervous habit
Yes i noticed it sniffing too , hope shes ok
I was thinking writing a comment like: many ticks 😮😅
I've coughed and clearing of throat /drowning sensation and airway tight.. Diagnosis.. Unexplained medical.. Excruciating pain in ear.. Makes me have nausea.. Affects now my lungs.. Sore throat 365 days of the year. Blocked nose on right side..
This was a result of a past operation.. My heart rhythm is out and also my breath /.
No one to help.. Awful journey
💟🙏
Why on earth are you awake during a colonoscopy?
Many people can be
We usually are in the UK as there’s really no need to be put out
Being awake for an upper endoscopy with no sedation is the worst,as yo can panic and forget to breath😅
