- Soooo beyond blessed to be done with chemotherapy. After 6 long months, 5 new scars, and 12 rounds, I can officially say that I'm done. We'll be waiting for a clear scan, but right now I just can't wait to celebrate this little victory. Thanks for supporting me on this crazy journey.
Much love,
Kam

A little bit about me:
1. I am 21 years old!!
2. I am currently battling Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma
3. I am a senior in college... how did I get here, I don't know
Camera Used: Canon g7x
I watched your “finding out I have Hodgkin’s lymphoma” video and opened your channel only to see this video and smile so brightly
My daughter was diagnosed at age 24 with the same cancer. She went through the same schedule of chemo and scans. She had a huge tumor in her chest and had several symptoms before she got diagnosed even though she is a nurse. She had only been married a year when this happened. Here we are 19 years later and she is still cancer free and I have 2 beautiful grandchildren ages 15 1/2 and 12. Here’s hoping you have the same outcome and future ahead of you.
💚
The internet is a weird thing - by the grace of the youtube algorithm I found your channel last week and I'm now sitting here crying over you completing chemo and reaching 9k subscribers. Feeling grateful to have found you and in awe of your grace and honesty!!
Same!! I watched like all of her videos in the past week and I ugly cried watching this. Im so happy for her:')
Me too!
💘💘💘
Even when you're feeling rough, you're STILL smiling. That's inspirational and a testament to how amazing of a person you are. I am so excited to see what you accomplish in the future/on this channel! All the best.
thank you so so much, seriously means the world
I'm so happy for you! I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma last week and I am also 21. I will start my treatment in two weeks and watching your videos are helping me a lot! You are always with such a positive energy and that is so cool to see in someone who is going through the same thing! I hope everything goes well. I send you lots of love, besos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
ah sending you so much love. you got this 💘
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Sending positive vibes cx
Best wishes being sent your way.
Praying your PET scan will come out cancer free❤️ you got this❤️
I found you just a few days ago and have watched each of your videos. Your energy and light, despite the circumstances, comes through in each clip. I'm sending you light and stillness in the next few days, and am keeping you in my thoughts as you heal from this final round. YOU GOT THIS!!!
❤️!!! thank you
SO PROUD OF YOU 🧡 you’re such a beautiful queen!!!! 🥰
THANK U 💘
Omg Kam you’re about to hit 10K!!!! I’m so crazy proud of you and excited that all these people are joining the best RUclips fam on the internet! You must try lime with your avocado toast if you like it really tangy ;) OMG THE BABY YODA COOKIE 🥺 I couldn’t stop smiling this whole video until of course I cried when you rang your bell....your energy gives me life. Love you so much Kam 💓

I haven’t watched this yet, saving it for when I can cry by myself this evening, but just know I am so happy for you that this is the last one!!!! Ring that bell pretty lady!! Ring that bell!! 🔔
🥺🥺🥺🥺
@@KameronMcKenzie Just watched it and I am so proud of you! You are the most positive person through all of this!!! Praying extra hard for the best results possible! Much love! P.S. I did cry. Happy cries are allowed though 😉 Congrats!! 🎉
I definitely found myself in tears, but made the mistake of not waiting until I was alone..
Discovered your channel a week ago and have been inspired to find joy in the little things like turning up the music and dancing in my house. I am going through chemo right now and look forward to ringing the bell in a couple months. I've picked up many helpful little tips from your videos. Thanks for making them and sharing your spirit with us.
Praying for you! Hope all goes well!!! 🤗🤗
love this!!! ♥️
All the best for u cc
Non Hodgkins Lymphoma diagnosed 7/4/2020. Ur a WARRIOR!!
Congratulations on getting to your last chemo. Your smile, even when not feeling the best, lights up the room. Take care. 💕
You are so beautiful inside and out! It has been 5 years since I finished my NHL chemo journey. The best is yet to come
Just came across your videos by accident tonight. My daughter had cancer, a very different kind, a very different journey. She left at 19. I think the two of you would have made great college roommates. Lots of sweetness and she loved pancakes and coffee. We lived in Washington state when she was little. She use to tell me that "everything was one". when one person had sadness we all did, when one person won the lottery we all won. She believed we were like fingers on a hand, all separate fingers but all one hand. So I look for her everywhere little parts and pieces of her. Tonight I found a little of her in you. It made me happy, when one person heals from cancer we all do. She may not be here in her body but in some way tonight she got better too. So many prayers for continued healing. You are a ray of sunshine, you honor your youth beautifully.
Thank you for sharing. This is Kam’s mom. I’m glad her video made you think of your daughter. ❤️
@@kristenschalk1842 Kristen, its hardest part of being a mom...the times we can't fix it. From one mamas heart to another, just believe in all the good things.
the best thumbnail and title ever!! so thankful you've shared this difficult, scary and life changing journey to bring hope and light to this dark world. ❤️❤️❤️
💘
I will pray that you will be cancer free. You're such a sweet person and give a lot of encouragement to us all to stay positive and strong during stressful and uncomfortable times in our lives. :)
I watched your journey and it reminded me of mine, same type of cancer, 11 years ago :) The best feeling was my last chemo session! I now have 2 beautiful kids aged 4 and 1 ❤️
Stay strong,love from Jules in Australia XOXO
omg I was watching your videos a couple hours ago and you were at 8.49k subscribers I think and now you're at 9.04!!! crazy. u deserve it!
I'm so proud of you. The last two days I've spend binge watching your videos and I cannot believe how strong and positive you remain to be. You're an absolute superstar and I can't wait to see where your life takes you ❤️ big love from Australia x
It makes me think of my mum, how strong she was despite having stage 3 breast cancer and how strong she was going through her chemo and radiation. Thankyou for being such an incredible light
shed a tear of joy for you
Completing chemo is no small feat. I’m so happy for you and am sending healing vibes your way! Much love ❤️❤️❤️
girl we went through it together! I was diagnosed with the same thing although I had a stage 2 . My last chemo was 2 weeks ago but congratulations! 💓
Binged your whole cancer journey videos today. You are so strong. Keep working towards your dreams girl!! You got this! 💖
Praying for a complete recovery!
11.9k SUBS Yayyyyy!!! Congrats beautiful girl!! Ur smile just lights up the room!! Watch out NewYork, HERE SHE COMES🤩
Oh Kam I’m so happy for you! My daughter finished her last chemo too at the end of January and just got her PET scan and it was clear! I just know yours will be too! The waiting is the hardest. She will have another one in three months. She was so happy too. Her last chemo took a lot out of her. It seemed to be the hardest on her. I hope you are recovering well. She had a lung/breathing test already and that was great, and tomorrow she gets an echo of her heart (also a recheck...she had the first one before chemo). I’m hoping we can get all these things out of the way so March can just be a doctor free month for her. That’s my hope at least ☺️ I can’t wait to se your next update. I’m praying for you, Kam 💗💗💗
13.1k +1 after today.. just subbed after binge watching your journey. You are so inspirational. Thank you.
I have chills and I'm crying.... thank you Kam for sharing your story. You are so beautiful and strong
I’m sure a million people have told you how amazing you are, I’d like to be one million and one. Your attitude and optimism leave me speechless. You set an amazing example of how to approach life, embrace the world, and step up to the plate. Wow! Can’t wait for more good news!
Congratulations!! I came across your channel at random a few days ago--probably because the algorithm knows I have a cat with lymphoma lol. When my cat had her month off after she finished her first chemo protocol, I could tell she felt great from her energy levels and appetite. Her coat started growing, too, which was lovely, although she had to start chemo again and she's half bald again. I hope this next month brings all good things for you, and fingers crossed for your next pet scan!
I have recently found you at midnight yesterday and I binge watched all of your videos. The way you shine is so beautiful! So proud of you and your journey!! You are so creative and full of light! ❤️
thank you 💗
I did the same!!! Couldn’t sleep and started watching melanoma videos and it led me to her somehow. She’s such a positive person! I love it!!
There is no way those nurses ever had a patient with as positive an attitude as you have had.
Also, I know you are young but your skin is amazing!
Congratulations and wishing you so much luck and great health.
Hang in there girl😊 Enjoy your break and treat yourself!
My best friend just got diagnosed with the same kind of cancer. Watching your videos to get informed and get a glimpse what she will go through. Also I wanna find how to help and support her the best way possible. Love this for you and I can’t wait til her day comes ✨ lots of love from Germany
Sorry to hear about your friend. Best wishes for both you and your friend.
I’m so proud of you! Congrats and stay strong!❤️💕☀️
I’ve been going through some sh!t lately and I came across your channel right before I had my most recent surgery. Thanks for inspiring me to stay positive through everything 🌻
Praying for you!!! I wonder if that’s how most of us got here 🤔. I did the same!
SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!! :)
I don’t know why but something made me watch this video again, after 3 weeks. I’ve been watching and following your story since the beginning and I am so anxious to hear of your clear scan 🤞🏻I hope you’re well x
♥️
I found you via your diagnosis videos, they just appeared in my feed, about 2 weeks ago.
Many blessings to you and your beautiful family. Such strength and beauty!
You’re just the sweetest girl ever!! Praying for you everyday! Inshallah you have a long long life to live yet sweet pea!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽💛💛💛👌
Keep that smile, you’re GORGEOUS
You are an inspiration 😭
Congratulations Kam! Not gonna lie I shed a tear when your family gave you the flowers at the end of chemo😢 You made it look so easy to go thru all that process, when I know it’s not. I know how hard it is to go thru all those procedures at such a young age. You are incredible and I wish you all the best for the future 💕
thank you 🥺
Thank you so much for posting these videos kam. My stepmum had stage 4 breast cancer on 2 separate occasions when I was like 7 and I was too young for the adults around me to really tell me what was going on, so these videos have really helped me feel closer and more understanding of what it would’ve actually been like for her. You are so strong and give off such beautiful energy - i’m so happy i found ur channel💕
🤍
I have just found your channel and I just wanted to say that you have no idea how many people you will help with your videos and how open you have been about this. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma 3 years ago at 19 and I know I would have loved to have had your channel back then. I am now 100% healthy and I know you will be too, good luck with everything!
thank you so much ❤️
Your attitude through all of this has been so incredibly inspiring. Jesus clearly gave you such a gift of unwavering joy that you’ve displayed so well with these circumstances and it’s absolutely beautiful!! You have such a special soul and you are so pretty inside and out!! Please keep that smile forever!!! It looks so so good on you!
Thank you so much!
I am so so so proud of you! It is all going to be sunshine from now on i promise 🤍✨
Congratulations! I walked the same path in 2012-2013. Your sense of taste will return to normal soon and 5 years will pass before you know it.
Lord I cried like a baby seeing her ring this bell. As a med-surge/oncology nurse, I know what this precious soul has been thru to get to this bell! I think these cancer patients deserve so much more recognition than they get, they deserve awards, metals, & anything else I can think of lol. They are absolutely real heroes. I've seen little children go thru & accomplish things I don't think I'd be strong enough to do. Bless your heart sweetheart, love & many many prayers for you ❤🙏 My job can be very depressing at times, & then I'll get to witness a story like yours, and oh how rewarding!!
I have never had cancer nor been thru much health issues by the grace of god but a lot of family I kno has, for some reason you showed up on my front page and I have binge watched every video and now I’m here crying watching you ring that bell you are a beautiful soul. I’m so proud of you. So much love from Vancouver BC we r neighbours but I’m the Canadian side! You have shown me such a different way of looking at life jus threw these videos. Keep up the good work. Keep smiling , bless your heart. Xo
Sending you a great big hug!🌷
KAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS HUUUGE CONGRATS
I watched your very first video on finding the lymphoma and seeing this just makes me 😊
Wow you are amazing!! I wish you the best, you also have the prettiest smile
I found your channel just a few days ago and girl, you are amazing!! Not only are your videos wonderful, but your personality just shines through in the most beautiful way. It's inspiring to see your energy and positive attitude through the ups and downs you show us and I'm wishing you all the best in the coming months. You got this!!! 💗
