    So relatable! Before I was diagnosed last year, I was convinced it was literally anything else - never thought it would be leukaemia.

    I love this video. I love all of the symptoms in one video. It’s very enlightening. Great job. Keep them coming for every type of cancer. These videos could save someone’s life. My symptoms match so many of these and my blood work revealed low WBC. I’m now being monitored

    I have no visible lumps/lymph nodes. Mine are inflamed inside of my chest. I ended up in the ER thinking I had appendicitis! The ER thought the same. The CT scan revealed it was a mass in my abdomen and is farther back toward the spine with a feeler wrapped around the bottom of my aorta. They immediately put me in the hospital and ran tests and found it was either stomach cancer or lymphoma. I was in shock! Biopsy & all the tests were ordered & they found it was Large B-Cell Diffuse NON-Hodgkin Lymphoma double & triple blast, which I am not sure what all that means. I had just had my gallbladder removed a few months before. They did ultrasounds/two & a HIDA scan but nothing was ever mentioned. I felt bad months even after the surgery. I have now just completed my second chemo treatment. I also have Lupus so I pray that does not flare up. I am anemic and if lower next time they will put me on medication for that. All I can do is trust my medical team & the process.

    Doctors are not suppose to diagnose asthma without doing testing for it first :(. If your doctor does, tell them you want to be tested for confirmation.

      Ok. I asked to be tested for astma, but the doctor refused. I am changing doctor as this is totally unacceptable level of medical gaslighting. I am so dismissed that it feels like I have no access to health care at all.

    Were the lumps in the neck the lymph nodes or cancer?

    i can feel pockets of masses which somehow restrict my breathing .. but i can intuit i can eat them or dissolve them as long as im able to gauge the suppose normal breathing pattern.
    its like little clouds concentrated energy inside my body and they can be diffused.
    whenever i can feel their location, i can eat them and burp out
