Thanks for sharing. I don’t think most people understand how important it is to find the right oncologist. They just assume that their oncologist knows what’s best for them. Best wishes for healing! I’m sure sharing your story on different platforms has already saved lives! Bless you!
True. Just general practitioners today simply don't have a clue what they are doing. I have a couple story's that happened to me, too long to go into on here but our health care is profit based, thanks to President Nixon, and doctors basically go on a fishing trip with you trying to find something to make money off you by testing for completely unrelated things. Keeping you sick to keep the money flowing is the motto. Makes me sick how screwed up the American health care system is.

My wife of 35yrs sadly passed away of stage 4 lung cancer 18 months ago, like you she'd never smoked and kept herself fit, diagnosed 17th January died 7th February. I admire your strength and positivity❤
I had colon cancer in 2007, then endometrial cancer in 2022 and came back again this April 2024. Right now going through chemo and immunotherapy. I’m so sick I already asked God to take me. I guess he wants me here for a reason. Everyone fighting this terrible desease, is on my prayers. We’re in the hands of God and excellent team of drs. My oncologist is awesome. We’re warriors. I wish the best for you!
@@kvdme That's unfortunate.Aside from sores,rash and bone pain my body has adjusted really well to side effects In on OPDIVO ( nivolumab). Immunotherapy doesn't kill cancer cells it amps up your immune system to identify and attack cancer cells That's why side effects are so mild. You don't lose your hair on immunotherapy .Sadly at one point my immune system got a little to amped up and starting attacking good cells My thyroid and adrenal glands no longer function.I take medication for both now There seems to be quite a few others Sometimes in other patients I have heard dual treatment chemo and immuno gets good results.I wish they were at the point where gene editing was a available for stage 4 NSCLC.I would certainly encourage my thoracic oncologist to prescribe it Maybe it will be come a availabe for lung !

I went to the e/r with a gallbladder attack, to be told at the end of all the testing (chest xray was clear), that after a chest CT, I had stage 1 lung cancer.

My mother got lung cancer at age 57. She had tried one cigarette in her entire life, when she was in her 20s. She was a nurse, VERY active. Her first symptoms were a constant cough (she couldn’t even speak over the phone for the coughing, it was that severe - she couldn’t go 3 seconds without coughing which obviously meant she had zero sleep for weeks). She also lost a dramatic amount of weight - around 3 stone in 3 weeks. By the time she was diagnosed (delayed because, like this lady - her GP thought it was a bad chest infection), it was terminal - in both lungs and the liver. I am glad this lady is doing good - we didn’t have the same treatments back then (my mother died two weeks after diagnosis, which is what the doctors told this lady she had to live - it’s great to see her well!)
DON’T EVER GIVE UP HOPE!!! If you still have breath left, use it to fight for what you want! I had a small pimple-like tiny lump on my left breast I found it one day when I was dressing to go out. I went to a doctor to have it check but since I was only 37 yo so he told me it was benign not to worry! But 2 weeks later that pimple started to itch, back to that same doctor to look at it again but he sent me home saying it is just irritated by my scratching at it!! In my heart I knew he was wrong, 🙄 intuitively I knew it wasn’t right so I called my gynecologist insisted for a referral for a biopsy on that pimple! Right away after that biopsy surgeon told me to wait in his office instead of sending me home, 30 minutes later the result came back, that pimple lump was cancerous!!! I had my left breast removed and a month later, on my own decision I also had my right breast removed because on X-ray, it showed calcification cells although it may or may not turn cancer later but I don’t want to mess with my life by waiting so I removed that breast, since there were no cancer cells detected in 28 lymph nodes, I didn’t have to go through any after treatment at all! I do breast reconstruction years later and I have been healthy & happy since! It has been 39 years ago! I feel very fortunate but I made a great decision to remove both breasts when I was advised to do one lumpectomy and to have a “wait-and-see” approach for the otherwise healthy right breast but I refused to listen to ‘so call professionals’ and be my own advocate instead!😤Losing 2 breasts is better than losing my life!!!

I am 62 years old, smoked for 30 years, I had some blood work done recently that showed an elevated level that could be indicative for lung cancer, i saw an oncologist and had full body scan, luckily i was cancer free, my lung scans were normal . I am not by any means advocating for smoking but I noticed that everyone immediately thinks that smoking is the main cause of lung cancer and it's not, filling up your car with gas, read the signs on the pump, alcohol consumption is a major factor for developing cancer, poor diet.... So many contributing factors. Glad you were able to beat the cancer.
So sorry you had to go through this, so happy the cancer is gone 😢 💔 😔 and praying you continue to thrive you're so beautiful may God continue to bless you and your family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤
You are truly an inspiration to so many. Thank you for bravely sharing your story and helping to break the stigma that lung cancer only affects smokers. Your strength and beauty, inside and out, shine through. I'm praying for your healing every day! 🙏💜
Thank You for your inspiring story. My wife had stage 4 non-small cell and lost her battle after 4 years. I can relate to everything you said and are going through. She was only 53 and she gave it her all. Here in Minnesota there are many regions that have high levels of Radon gas that escapes from the soil into your home. It's known to be a cause of lung cancer in anyone that might be exposed to it. Prayers to you and your family for your continued improvement. God Bless.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story and being such an inspiration!! I was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR 19 deletion, on December 22/22. I am taking a pill as well (Osimertinib) and am so thankful to have made it this far. You have been through so much and look Fabulous! Your attitude is truly amazing considering everything that you have been through.
My 82 year old father is also on osimertinib 80 MG tabs, has been 2 years. The side effect is terrible skin eruptions on his legs. Prayers for everyone with this dreadful disease.
Oh my goodness..what an encouraging sharing. Thank you and God bless you. I am going through treatment for an aggressive endometrial cancer. I was feeling down and scared and seeing your video made me get back to my positive attitude. Again bless you for sharing your story. You are helping many including me.
Wow, what an amazing story. I have watched a number of these, and I was just saying wow! God bless you, and He did! Thank you for sharing your story and I am so grateful you are still here. You are a beautiful woman and soul. 🙏❤️✝️
Hearing your story really touched me. IV lost family to cancer and it wasn't easy at times but having your family around supporting each other made all the difference . So when I watched your video it blew me away how positive you are.I was also brought to tears .Thank you for sharing your journey .
My God, it happened to me exactly like this sudden this Feb. Stage 4b lung cancer rare type MET out of no where. The target pill worked for 2-3 months then stopped working. Thank you very much for sharing this!!! Sadly I have to do the last choice with chemotherapy, radiotherapy. I am seraching hard for alternative solutions at the same time. But in london UK is not that popular like in US. But you are very inspiring and I will fight. At the same time this brought my faith much stronger and that truly helped me to keep going as well! God bless! ❤❤❤❤

I am a former smoker. I grew up with smokers ect. Biologically, an older post menopause woman. I had quit decades ago. Being in my 60s, I decided to get a ct of my lungs. Because I had read, the beginning stages of lung cancer are symptomless. So, I was fortunate that all was well. I hope there is a cure for you. Be well.
There are thousands or more like her in the 30 to 50 age bracket. It's an epidemic of cancers. Check out ACE2 Receptor and the CV vaccine, which pertains to whites and blacks. It's time to expose this.
First of all, congratulations with overcoming all that you have so far. Your such a bright positive soul. Your video presentation was fantastic. Most people would be in tears telling that story. I hope others take great inspiration and the advice you gave . When you detailed all the places you had cancer, I thought how are you still alive and looking so fabulous. All that pain and suffering you had. Jees! Helping others is a key point also. Good to give back. I hope everything works out for you and your family. All the best! Scotland's thinking of you. ❤
Thank you for getting the information out there. Your story is encouraging! My hubby has stage four esophageal cancer and has been doing maintenance chemotherapy and immune therapy. It’s hard because he has seen over 7doctors as they are passing through oncology (we live on an island, it’s fun to vacation. Work here then move onto somewhere else) it’s hard as you have to explain over and over what’s happening to every doctor that rotates in and out. I’m so glad that it was your choice to pick your doctor and not the other way around. Be Blessed
I can't express how I feel. You are so brave. I can't help but cry. Not in pity but how brave you are and most of all how unfair that this happened to you. I won't even ask you about $$$ 👍💯 God love you
This is the most amazing recovery I've heard of. Your "miracle cure" sounds like an enormous pain in the butt, but at least it's not cancer! I think we're going to be seeing amazing treatments developed in our lifetime.
Lindsay, thank you so much for sharing your story and journey. Having just been diagnosed with Lung cancer, it is a scary time. Waiting to see the Oncologist is so difficult because of all the unknowns. Your story gives me hope. Wishing you continued success at beating Cancer and all the best results.
I tend to think that if I get a lot of the side effects your experiencing let alone cancer it's the end of the world but it's encouraging to see that you are still positive, looking great and living your best life !
My God! My God! This was heart wrenching to watch. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’ll never understand. You are so brave. Warrior on beautiful lady.
This amazing woman is so beautiful inside and out. It is so extremely kind that she has chosen to share her heartbreaking very personal story with so many others. I send warm good karma and prayers her way because her story is just so unfair. Single mothers have it rough enough ..this is heartbreaking. I am glad that she could do the targeted stuff. She continues to try to raise awareness that ANY person with lungs ... Anyone gorgeous and fit like she is....anyone short, tall, fat, skinny, ANYONE can get it...she continues to try to advocate and help others ....and for that I continue to hope and pray that there's a special place in Heaven for extra kind single mothers like she is. 🙏
Incredibly messed up situation. Poor sweet girl, what an angel. I'm sure her and the kids value every moment together. Im a man and shes a whole lot stronger than me. I would have just laid down from the very beginning and i respect everyones choice rather to fight or lay down but her video is extremely valuable and moving to truly consider all options. Hadn't her boss been ultra rich and stepped in she would have already been toast. Sad reality is money does buy more options and human dignity and intervention made a would of difference here. We are all doomed in the end but im so glad shes givin a little more time. Live it. Thank you for your post.
Such a powerful message. I think you've probably helped a lot of people feel strong enough to advocate for themselves... whatever they're going through. All the best to you and yours.
Hi Lindsay, you dazzled me with your strength, courage, and your optomistic smile. Your story is incredible with the number of options available to you. I live in Canada with national health care, which is an amazing thing, but we are not able to select our specialists. You take what you get, and it doesn't always work out. Because of the salary cap that doctors have in this country, a lot of them are not truly motivated or have your best interest in mind. I'm so impressed with your story. God bless and live a long and healthy life.
You are an amazing woman with an outlook and optimism that puts many of us to shame. I wish you all the best for the future and will definitely hold you in my prayers tonight ❤
I also have stage 4 cancer: melanoma, spread to my lymph nodes and both lungs... also caused by a gene mutation (A600 BRAF) and I take targeted therapy. I couldnt even wash myself and within 3 days of taking it I was up, walking to the corner store and cooking dinner. My first CT scan showed that the cancer had shrunk. I have no side effects for days and suddenly I'll have vomiting, nausea, chills, fever and dizzyness. I stop the targeted therapy for a few days and then start again. I can work again and will be on the therapy for life, or as long as I can afford the $3000 a month for the meds... Attitude is EVERYTHING!
Hello team ,I was diagnosed of lung cancer adenocarcinoma stage 4 metastatic it went to the brain and affected also my Right lung and left since 2022 in sept I came to India from Uganda to apollo hospital where I receive treatment. First was given 6 cycles of chemo and second time give 8 cycles and didnt work on second time it progressed then my oncologist put me on targeted therapy Afitinib 40mg which failed after 1month then changed to mg 30 gave me a lot side effects then changed to 20mg which have been taking for 18months and it's of recent in early sept 2024 I developed an irritating cough and back pain we rushed back to India and after done pet ct scan results came out badly The disease has progressed. Tumor increased and now my oncologist put me 6 cycles of chemotherapy and osmertinib 80mg swallowing 1 tablet per day and have soffer done 3cycles we are still in India hoping to go back soon but my next review is after 3 months

Lost my wife to lung cancer in 2018. The worst doctors in Spokane.. Prayers for this young lady and her family. God bless everyone dealing with health issues.. 🙏
Wow, what a story. Taking just a pill each day and all the cancer is gone in 2 weeks. You said the cancer was in your entire body and even your brain. If I develop cancer I want that miracle pill. I already have excessive fatigue, weight loss, bone pain, anemia, heart disease, etc. I so wish Jenny Appleford was given your miracle pill. She suffered so terribly for almost 3 years and lost her hair from the brain radiation. It's amazing you kept your hair through brain radiation. You must be one of the lucky ones. I have lost many family members so young and dear friends to cancer.

@debbiesclunsen9744 If I had cancer my anxiety would be off the charts. I have severe claustrophobia, like Jenny, and I could never do the brave things she accomplished like MRI and PET scans. I would never let anyone put that targeted brain radiation mask on me bolted down. She did it for her children and husband. Jenny's honestly and vulnerability in her videos was inspiring to people around the world.
Linsay I pray God's anointed healing and miracle will be upon you through this journey of cancer. I pray that God will strengthen you and give you the courage to live as longer as possible so you can see your children grow up. I wish you all the best and my prayers are with you and your family.

God is good all the time even in our darkest days we are not alone !! Thank you my sister for your courageous story GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY !🙏
Wow what a shock. I can't believe your lovely nature & happy go lucky attitude. Yr laughing & taking this heinous cancer journey in such a positive way. It shows how important positivity is. I wish you a full cure. You're so brave.
Thank you for sharing your incredible cancer story! I'm sorry you have so many side effects, and also grateful you got this! My Dad, maternal grandparents died if lung cancer. My Grandmother never smoked, but she did have a continuous cough! 💯❣️
Cancer outbreak….why are people afraid to ask why? It’s not a conspiracy theory anymore. To be honest, some have a right to be upset by the ones who don’t ask.
@@jeannebh65 It is not ugly nor shameful to ask questions. When scientists and doctors are censored and silenced and people are made to feel uncomfortable for wondering why so many people, young people are dying from cardiac arrest or seeing more friends and co workers fighting for their lives from cancer than statistically normal, you should wonder. When you search things up and you are bombarded with “fact checks” and “conspiracy theory” warnings you should wonder. There is a book that has never been wrong. That book says this would happen. It also says the deception will be so great that even those committed to it could be fooled. We don’t expect there to be such evil but if we don’t ask or don’t think or we succumb to the pressure to stay silent then we are part of it and that is truly shameful.
Thank you for sharing your story but most of all thanks for sharing the side effects of all the meds - things we don’t often hear. You are a light in a dark place for so many and you radiate that in this video. God Bless!
My sister was diagnosed with non small cell adenocarcinoma with ALK positive in September 23rd 2020 and was on both the meds that this lady describes at age 55. She had an 19 year old and a 16 year old. But unfortunately passed away after 8 months of targeted therapy as both treatments didn’t work. She had brain Mets and she became paralysed 3 1/2 months before she passed due too a tumour growing through her spine. And she she caught pneumonia. Cancer sucks. This ladies cancer is quite advanced but a positive mindset will help. I hope she makes the most of her time making memories.

Thank you for telling your story of courage. You are helping people by telling your story. Keep that beautiful smile on your face.
yes she is! this is why we share stories like hers ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story. Your positivity is amazing considering the grim outlook you had. May God bless you and your family.
THANK YOU for taking the time to hear her story :)
I am 62 years old, smoked for 30 years, I had some blood work done recently that showed an elevated level that could be indicative for lung cancer, i saw an oncologist and had full body scan, luckily i was cancer free, my lung scans were normal . I am not by any means advocating for smoking but I noticed that everyone immediately thinks that smoking is the main cause of lung cancer and it's not, filling up your car with gas, read the signs on the pump, alcohol consumption is a major factor for developing cancer, poor diet.... So many contributing factors. Glad you were able to beat the cancer.
So sorry you had to go through this, so happy the cancer is gone 😢 💔 😔 and praying you continue to thrive you're so beautiful may God continue to bless you and your family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. Stay strong. And keep smiling you beautiful lady
❤❤❤
You are truly an inspiration to so many. Thank you for bravely sharing your story and helping to break the stigma that lung cancer only affects smokers. Your strength and beauty, inside and out, shine through. I'm praying for your healing every day! 🙏💜
❤❤❤
My problems are insignificant in light if this wonderful warrior lady. God bless you dear lady.
Thanks for sharing. I loved it when you said don't be afraid or don't be ashamed to switch doctors for the best care!
great advice from her!
Thank You for your inspiring story. My wife had stage 4 non-small cell and lost her battle after 4 years. I can relate to everything you said and are going through. She was only 53 and she gave it her all. Here in Minnesota there are many regions that have high levels of Radon gas that escapes from the soil into your home. It's known to be a cause of lung cancer in anyone that might be exposed to it. Prayers to you and your family for your continued improvement. God Bless.
❤
What a sweet and super optimistic person.
Prayers for her to have good health and a long future 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story and being such an inspiration!!
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR 19 deletion, on December 22/22. I am taking a pill as well (Osimertinib) and am so thankful to have made it this far. You have been through so much and look Fabulous! Your attitude is truly amazing considering everything that you have been through.
Sending you all of the good healing vibes! 🤍
So glad to read that Osi is still working for you!!
@@traceydeserranno9538I am so glad to hear your positive Journey Sending the very best wishes to you !
My 82 year old father is also on osimertinib 80 MG tabs, has been 2 years. The side effect is terrible skin eruptions on his legs. Prayers for everyone with this dreadful disease.

I was feeling down and scared and seeing your video made me get back to my positive attitude. Again bless you for sharing your story. You are helping many including me.

Wow, what an amazing story. I have watched a number of these, and I was just saying wow! God bless you, and He did! Thank you for sharing your story and I am so grateful you are still here. You are a beautiful woman and soul. 🙏❤️✝️
THANK YOU for listening to her story ❤❤❤
Hearing your story really touched me. IV lost family to cancer and it wasn't easy at times but having your family around supporting each other made all the difference . So when I watched your video it blew me away how positive you are.I was also brought to tears .Thank you for sharing your journey .
❤❤❤
You are truly amazng. Grateful to bare witness to your story. Our community is cheering you on!!!
What a beautiful family I hope this woman continues to win her battle against cancer 🙏
we do too!
What a strong spirit you have. May you completely heal
❤❤❤
My God, it happened to me exactly like this sudden this Feb. Stage 4b lung cancer rare type MET out of no where. The target pill worked for 2-3 months then stopped working. Thank you very much for sharing this!!! Sadly I have to do the last choice with chemotherapy, radiotherapy. I am seraching hard for alternative solutions at the same time. But in london UK is not that popular like in US. But you are very inspiring and I will fight. At the same time this brought my faith much stronger and that truly helped me to keep going as well! God bless! ❤❤❤❤

God bless you & keep you here for a long time. 🙏
I am a former smoker. I grew up with smokers ect. Biologically, an older post menopause woman. I had quit decades ago. Being in my 60s, I decided to get a ct of my lungs. Because I had read, the beginning stages of lung cancer are symptomless. So, I was fortunate that all was well. I hope there is a cure for you. Be well.
Alk mutation is quite rare but has the best best results from targeted treatment vs other mutations~~I hope your solid results continue forever!!
What an amazing story! You look great. Thank God for science.
Wow! This story reminded me so much of Jenny Apple's cancer journey
Unfortunately unlike this woman, Jenny had the nasty Exon 20 mutation. 😢
@@Alma_Kane RIP Jenny.
There are thousands or more like her in the 30 to 50 age bracket. It's an epidemic of cancers. Check out ACE2 Receptor and the CV vaccine, which pertains to whites and blacks. It's time to expose this.
They are different in that Jenny did not respond well to immunotherapy, side effects were terrible and at some point she could not continue.
I miss Jenny. She was inspiring and so brave. ❤
First of all, congratulations with overcoming all that you have so far. Your such a bright positive soul. Your video presentation was fantastic. Most people would be in tears telling that story. I hope others take great inspiration and the advice you gave . When you detailed all the places you had cancer, I thought how are you still alive and looking so fabulous. All that pain and suffering you had. Jees! Helping others is a key point also. Good to give back.
I hope everything works out for you and your family. All the best! Scotland's thinking of you. ❤
Thank you for getting the information out there. Your story is encouraging!
My hubby has stage four esophageal cancer and has been doing maintenance chemotherapy and immune therapy. It’s hard because he has seen over 7doctors as they are passing through oncology (we live on an island, it’s fun to vacation. Work here then move onto somewhere else) it’s hard as you have to explain over and over what’s happening to every doctor that rotates in and out. I’m so glad that it was your choice to pick your doctor and not the other way around.
Be Blessed
Ma'am, you are my new super hero. I wish you well and hope you get that full life. Lord knows you've earned it.
She is such a wonderful, pretty, sweet lady. She looks like she lives a great life. I hope she continues to do so into her 90's :)
I can't express how I feel. You are so brave. I can't help but cry. Not in pity but how brave you are and most of all how unfair that this happened to you. I won't even ask you about $$$ 👍💯 God love you
What a beautiful lady ( who looks a lot like Lisa Kudrow )
Prayers for continued CLEAN SCANS and complete healing for a long, healthy, life!! 🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely !
You will be in my prayers daily...stay strong
❤❤❤
This is the most amazing recovery I've heard of. Your "miracle cure" sounds like an enormous pain in the butt, but at least it's not cancer! I think we're going to be seeing amazing treatments developed in our lifetime.
Well said
@@Mmoose712yes ! I agree 💪💪❤️
Such a brave young woman, god bless you and your family. Good luck with everything.
Lindsay, thank you so much for sharing your story and journey. Having just been diagnosed with Lung cancer, it is a scary time. Waiting to see the Oncologist is so difficult because of all the unknowns. Your story gives me hope. Wishing you continued success at beating Cancer and all the best results.
I tend to think that if I get a lot of the side effects your experiencing let alone cancer it's the end of the world but it's encouraging to see that you are still positive, looking great and living your best life !
❤❤❤
Loving all these Stage 4 cancer story uploads. Super interesting to watch, compared to lower stages! Best cancer channel on RUclips!!! ❤
we appreciate you following our channel :)
Your strength is not going unnoticed. You are an amazing woman. Beautiful and strong. God love ya.
My God! My God! This was heart wrenching to watch. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’ll never understand. You are so brave. Warrior on beautiful lady.
So sorry you are going through all of this. Good luck in your recovery. ❤️🩹 Sending positive thoughts your way.
❤❤❤
This amazing woman is so beautiful inside and out. It is so extremely kind that she has chosen to share her heartbreaking very personal story with so many others. I send warm good karma and prayers her way because her story is just so unfair. Single mothers have it rough enough ..this is heartbreaking. I am glad that she could do the targeted stuff. She continues to try to raise awareness that ANY person with lungs ... Anyone gorgeous and fit like she is....anyone short, tall, fat, skinny, ANYONE can get it...she continues to try to advocate and help others ....and for that I continue to hope and pray that there's a special place in Heaven for extra kind single mothers like she is. 🙏
I'm so thankful you are where you are right now and blessings to you! Sharing is brave and so very helpful... So much to go through🙏
Incredibly messed up situation. Poor sweet girl, what an angel.
I'm sure her and the kids value every moment together. Im a man and shes a whole lot stronger than me. I would have just laid down from the very beginning and i respect everyones choice rather to fight or lay down but her video is extremely valuable and moving to truly consider all options.
Hadn't her boss been ultra rich and stepped in she would have already been toast. Sad reality is money does buy more options and human dignity and intervention made a would of difference here.
We are all doomed in the end but im so glad shes givin a little more time.
Live it.
Thank you for your post.
Such a powerful message. I think you've probably helped a lot of people feel strong enough to advocate for themselves... whatever they're going through. All the best to you and yours.
What a devastating ordeal. God bless you.
May God Bless you moving forward to many more beautiful years of life…🙏🏼
Hi Lindsay, you dazzled me with your strength, courage, and your optomistic smile. Your story is incredible with the number of options available to you. I live in Canada with national health care, which is an amazing thing, but we are not able to select our specialists. You take what you get, and it doesn't always work out. Because of the salary cap that doctors have in this country, a lot of them are not truly motivated or have your best interest in mind. I'm so impressed with your story. God bless and live a long and healthy life.
Brave lady. My deepest respect.
You are an amazing woman with an outlook and optimism that puts many of us to shame. I wish you all the best for the future and will definitely hold you in my prayers tonight ❤
I also have stage 4 cancer: melanoma, spread to my lymph nodes and both lungs... also caused by a gene mutation (A600 BRAF) and I take targeted therapy. I couldnt even wash myself and within 3 days of taking it I was up, walking to the corner store and cooking dinner. My first CT scan showed that the cancer had shrunk. I have no side effects for days and suddenly I'll have vomiting, nausea, chills, fever and dizzyness. I stop the targeted therapy for a few days and then start again. I can work again and will be on the therapy for life, or as long as I can afford the $3000 a month for the meds... Attitude is EVERYTHING!

Hello team ,I was diagnosed of lung cancer adenocarcinoma stage 4 metastatic it went to the brain and affected also my Right lung and left since 2022 in sept I came to India from Uganda to apollo hospital where I receive treatment.
First was given 6 cycles of chemo and second time give 8 cycles and didnt work on second time it progressed then my oncologist put me on targeted therapy Afitinib 40mg which failed after 1month then changed to mg 30 gave me a lot side effects then changed to 20mg which have been taking for 18months and it's of recent in early sept 2024 I developed an irritating cough and back pain we rushed back to India and after done pet ct scan results came out badly

Get on turkey tail mushrooms 🍄 extract capsules! Turkey tail mushrooms 🍄 kills cancer cells and tumors!!! Research it. It will give you a fighting chance to beat it!!!
I just think you have a positive outlook on life, which is so huge no matter what your battle in life. I'm sure you have helped a lot of people by sharing your life story. My Dad had colon cancer and passed away at 69. I wish he would've had a video like Yours he might have had a different outlook about it. Thank you, and blessings to you and your family.❤🕊⚘️
God Bless you precious lady….I am so sorry and I will pray for you….I can’t imagine but sending you love and hugs what a positive attitude may Jesus wrap you in His arms 🙏💕..You are AMAZING
You are a true, fearless fighter and survivor I truly admire you Thank you so much for the inspiration !
❤❤❤
Oh My gosh, unbelievable 😭💔 praying 🙏 that for your healing.
What a sweet and inspiring lady. Thank you for sharing your story. Good health and happiness x
Praise God for your recovery! You are brave beyond words. Stay strong…
Lost my wife to lung cancer in 2018. The worst doctors in Spokane..
Prayers for this young lady and her family. God bless everyone dealing with health issues.. 🙏
I admire you for your determination to live and your decision-making. Hope you continue to feel better.
You are amazing to fight this disease. Wish you get 100% better and enjoy many years to come. You are so brave too and so positive. Keep it up
God bless you, thank you for sharing your story 🎉
I hope you're still around for a long time.
❤❤❤
What a story! So glad you are doing well. I see you live here in Georgia. I’m Marietta! Praying for you!! ❤
You are absolutely gorgeous !!!! Beautiful inside and out Finally a person that shares actual treatment protocols ❤
Wow, what a story. Taking just a pill each day and all the cancer is gone in 2 weeks. You said the cancer was in your entire body and even your brain. If I develop cancer I want that
miracle pill. I already have excessive fatigue, weight loss, bone pain, anemia, heart disease, etc. I so wish Jenny Appleford was given your miracle pill. She suffered so terribly for almost 3 years and lost her hair from the brain radiation. It's amazing you kept your hair through brain radiation. You must be one of the lucky ones. I have lost many family members so young and dear friends to cancer.
@@Lbhacksawonly if God heals you
@@LbhacksawYou are right. Stage 4 cancer does not disappear.
@@Lbhacksaw It certainly can and does go to remission .Educate yourself.Nodules get so small they are no longer detectable on ct NED no evidence of disease Ma. Sunshine
@@karenhenley2195 Jenny was riddled with anxiety .This affected which treatments she would get
@debbiesclunsen9744 If I had cancer my anxiety would be off the charts. I have severe claustrophobia, like Jenny, and I could never do the brave things she accomplished like
MRI and PET scans. I would never let anyone put that targeted brain radiation mask on me bolted down.
She did it for her children and husband. Jenny's honestly and vulnerability in her videos was inspiring to people around the world.
Stick in there, positive influence and attitude!!
Very fortunate to have boss who got you on the right track. God bless her for helping you. And God bless you and your health.🙏🌹
Linsay I pray God's anointed healing and miracle will be upon you through this journey of cancer. I pray that God will strengthen you and give you the courage to live as longer as possible so you can see your children grow up. I wish you all the best and my prayers are with you and your family.
I just went through breast cancer and faith is what got me through faith in the lord and trusting we are not walking alone and there’s a purpose for what we are going through we don’t understand but trusting the lord knows and you are already helping many people with this video as I myself have now been put in positions to help others with breast cancer ! God is good all the time even in our darkest days we are not alone !! Thank you my sister for your courageous story GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY !🙏
Wow what a shock. I can't believe your lovely nature & happy go lucky attitude. Yr laughing & taking this heinous cancer journey in such a positive way. It shows how important positivity is. I wish you a full cure. You're so brave.
Thank you for sharing your incredible cancer story! I'm sorry you have so many side effects, and also grateful you got this! My Dad, maternal grandparents died if lung cancer. My Grandmother never smoked, but she did have a continuous cough! 💯❣️
Cancer outbreak….why are people afraid to ask why? It’s not a conspiracy theory anymore. To be honest, some have a right to be upset by the ones who don’t ask.
I don’t want to sound ugly at all. But you spoke what I was thinking. 😢
@@jeannebh65 It is not ugly nor shameful to ask questions. When scientists and doctors are censored and silenced and people are made to feel uncomfortable for wondering why so many people, young people are dying from cardiac arrest or seeing more friends and co workers fighting for their lives from cancer than statistically normal, you should wonder. When you search things up and you are bombarded with “fact checks” and “conspiracy theory” warnings you should wonder. There is a book that has never been wrong. That book says this would happen. It also says the deception will be so great that even those committed to it could be fooled. We don’t expect there to be such evil but if we don’t ask or don’t think or we succumb to the pressure to stay silent then we are part of it and that is truly shameful.
My comment keeps getting deleted when I say the V word. Buts it's the common denominator.
@@daleadams6097Yes, I’m sure that is not allowed here.
Wow, you went through a lot: You are a brave and strong lady. I am so glad you survived. ❤
I do t know how you do it. It’s amazing. So tough on you but your attitude is fantastic.
Thank you for sharing your story but most of all thanks for sharing the side effects of all the meds - things we don’t often hear. You are a light in a dark place for so many and you radiate that in this video. God Bless!
Thank you for your kind response! I truly appreciate it 🤍
it's great information to have!
Proud of you for being strong GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are very brave. I don't know if I could do all off this. God bless you.
Im praying for your total healing. Thanks for sharing your story. ❤
Your story provides so many with hope. Thank you for sharing.
❤❤❤
Cough, fatigue , was my symptoms when l had cancer before Thank you for your advice
You are a ROCKSTAR!🩷🩷🩷
What an amazing testimony! God bless you, he has plans for your life!
My sister was diagnosed with non small cell adenocarcinoma with ALK positive in September 23rd 2020 and was on both the meds that this lady describes at age 55. She had an 19 year old and a 16 year old. But unfortunately passed away after 8 months of targeted therapy as both treatments didn’t work. She had brain Mets and she became paralysed 3 1/2 months before she passed due too a tumour growing through her spine. And she she caught pneumonia. Cancer sucks. This ladies cancer is quite advanced but a positive mindset will help. I hope she makes the most of her time making memories.
