50 years ago two of my female classmate's sisters were diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. I was eleven or twelve years old and my classmate's sisters were no more than a year or two older or younger than I was. We moved away from the area so I don't know what the outcome was for those two sisters. We lived just an hour or two away from St Jude's Children's Hospital so the two sisters were going there for treatment. Whenever I listen to someone like Stephenie's Hodgkin Lymphoma story now I always think how those two little girls going through treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma so many years ago likely helped to save the lies of people who are being diagnosed today. My classmate and her sisters were white girls like me. We were white girls but we were different kinds of white girls. I was a poor white girl and they were middle class white girls. They lived in a nice brick house which probably had central air and new carpet. I lived in a house that was hand built and had plywood floors and no air conditioning. I mention my and the two sisters' environments because cancer diagnoses are usually attributed to the following; genetic factors (we are all related and we all marry our cousins and compound the bad DNA), environmental factors (the chemicals that are wafting through the air from our new carpet), infectious agents (that virus, bacteria, or parasite we picked up hiking through the woods or because someone somewhere didn't wash their hands), lifestyle (eating too much factory-made food, hiding from the sunlight due to work or school), and age (it sometimes seems that only the most lucky people have to worry about this one). It is right to question cancer and to question why we were the one, out of all of the people we know, who got cancer. Like Stephenie says here, a cancer diagnosis is a personal journey. My mother, who was also a white person like myself and like those two little girls who were diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma 50 years ago, was diagnosed with T-cell Lymphoma in her 60s. She was told that T-cell Lymphoma is extremely rare and that she would have to start chemotherapy as soon as she was healthy enough. She had no immune system so she never got well enough and she died soon afterward. I questioned the medical systems treatment of my mother. Why didn't they help her? Was it because she was poor? Because she was older? I know why Stephenie felt like her treatment here in the USA wasn't designed to help her. Stephenie wonders if it was a race thing. I hope that she wasn't treated poorly because of her race and I want her to know that being a white person didn't help my mom one bit. There was a white nurse working in the hospital one night who I thought was pretty rude. My mom who was so sick she couldn't roll over on her own and the nurse was scolding her saying that she couldn't help her because she was pregnant. I think that the questions that we have about our cancer and our medical treatments for cancer would be more helpful if we learned something from them. Since her sister is such a close match genetically and did not develop cancer herself I would like to know more about Stephenie's lifestyle before cancer and how different it was from her sister's lifestyle. I know Stephenie was in school so maybe she got less vitamin D from the sun than her sister? I am glad that Stephenie's final treatment worked for her!
Hi everyone,i just came across your channel there.There are an aweful lot of cancer diagnosis everywhere now and it's really sad and heartbreaking to see😿😿 Just letting you know there will be many prayers being said for everybody,and your family and friends!🙏🙏 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:1 Corinthians 15:1-4 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.Romans 10:13 Much love from Northern Ireland!♥♥
Thank you for sharing your story 🙏 I’ve been struggling with the backlog in oncology offices in my country post pandemic. My doctors have been trying to get me a lymph node biopsy and a bone marrow biopsy for months! The first oncologist I saw ignored my doctor’s and radiologist’s request for tests. Any advice for pushing for the tests you need?
All 3 of y’all are annoying!! My goodness y’all!! Put yourself in her place. You don’t know her life!!! That’s not an easy journey to share. She’s clearly nervous!!
She does have a nervous laugh. It's a bit difficult but she I'm sure doesn't even know she's doing it. Such A Brave Beautiful Young Lady, God Bless Her I'm Thankful She's Able To Laugh 🙌🩷✨.
I used to think like that when I was younger then one day I realized how precious life is and how we all have the same emotions and then I became more sensitive to other people.

People are getting younger and younger with cancer, so many women getting cancer around 21-32
Cancer does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone despite of age, gender, race or ethnicity.
❤🙏everybody is in this - some do not know that - eternal life is precious
Did you have your second transplant at Emory? I can’t imagine going through that at such a young age. Best wishes for continued good health.

Oh, this is not happening in USA, but also Canada, Australia, needless to say UK.

So agree about the laughing maybe it’s a nervous laugh hard to watch because of it
Very annoying
All 3 of y’all are annoying!! My goodness y’all!! Put yourself in her place. You don’t know her life!!! That’s not an easy journey to share. She’s clearly nervous!!
Better then crying and being depressed huh!

She does have a nervous laugh. It's a bit difficult but she I'm sure doesn't even know she's doing it. Such A Brave Beautiful Young Lady, God Bless Her I'm Thankful She's Able To Laugh 🙌🩷✨.
