Hey what's up, hope you are doing well. Why did you went into chemo instead of TKI targeted therapy?
Nanaof4 read what I wrote above about Joe Tippens story. He is alive and was given only months to live.
Praying for you!💗
Horrible disease xxxx🤬🤬🤬😓
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma in August, last year. In January, this year she passed away. She fought like a queen; ascites, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pneumonia, corona, diabetes, hypertension, edema, metastasis to lungs, liver, pancreas, bone, kidney, heart! 😭 I'm still 22. 😔
My salute to this woman and everyone who is fighting this deadly disease! ❤️😍 You're all kings and queens ✌️.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing - sounds like she was such an incredible woman. Thank you for sharing about her and her strength, and for your support of Shyreece and all of us in the cancer community ❤️ . -Stephanie
God bless you. 🙏🏿
I am very sorry for your mother. My father passed away few months ago for lung cancer stage IV. Cancer is awful and it can take so fast as it was for your mother and my father. So sad.
Serpentín am sorry about your mom. My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma
What a courageous fight and the suffering she endured is unimaginable ! May the Almighty grant her ab eternal heavenly abode and absolve her of any shortcomings in this world. So sorry at 22 you've lost your mother.
I've just been diagnosed with stage one lung cancer getting ready to go see the surgeon to find out the best treatment. Please keep me posted on this beautiful woman's journey I am praying for her. God bless🙏🏽
Lillian, so glad you were able to find Shyreece's story before meeting with your surgeon and more glad that you were diagnosed at stage one! Thank you for your prayers ❤️ . -Stephanie
@@ThePatientStory you are very welcome. I will be having surgery in April so please keep me in your prayers. Thanks and God-bless 🙏🏽🌹
@@lillianwisdom8298 Hi! How are you doing? I hope all is well and you are in my prayers!
Immunotherapy ❤️ god bless
Hi Lillian,
I came across your post and just wondering what kind of Lung Cancer do you have? I have been looking around as I was told that I have a very rare kind of mutation( I have EGFR L858R and E709K positive) my doctor here in the Netherlands said that there’s only 3 people registered so far with this combination.
So I wonder where and who if they are honestly. I am making my journey available as well in my RUclips Channel - Ivory’s Diary.
This is amazing 🤩 Stephanie. I am completely addicted to your work! I had cancer myself - I had breast cancer Stage 3B inflammatory. I lost my breast and had chemo and radiation . A few years after treatment I suddenly fainted and broke my neck and now I am a quadriplegic. I will never walk again - that was 11-yrs ago … but I love your work. You are wonderful as are all the people you interview.
Denise, wow, thank you so much for leaving such amazing words - this is what helps fuel me to do even more with my awesome team! You sound like an incredible person with the kind of energy that inspires those around you. Sending you big hugs :). ❤️ Stephanie
I owned a food store in a black neighborhood. Blacks gamble with their health and finances. Smoke kools, drink cheap liquor, sex with anyone,etc... Payday loan stores owned by Jews on every corner. Black women care about their gold,fried chicken, fingernail parlors. Terrible culture controlled by the whims of Jews. Malcolm X was right but blacks lack follow through. Most can't read or add. Too stupid to realize they will be pushed aside.
Stephanie.... sending positive vibes and energy your way.
Shyreece you are a bright light. Thank God for you.
Carmen, thank you for such kind words! We will make sure to share them with Shyreece! -Stephanie
Thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciate the discussion about stigma and how you overcame this. Thank you for all your work and speaking up and sharing!!!
Love you. Shyreece, I am 2 year in fighting lung cancer. God bless. You are my inspiration!!!
Sorry to hear about your lung cancer diagnosis, just have a question for you. What treatment are you taking which meds? I ask because my mom passed 2011 from lung cancer and only lived a few months, now my son has it and is going to start treatment soon. Two years is a true blessing for lung cancer, I wish you the best.
@dianebellot128 Tagrisso 80mg.
I am sorry too. But back than, they didn't have targeted meds.
Shyreece, before I become immersed in your story, I just wanted to pause and thank you for being such a dedicated teacher. Thank you for the children's lives you have touched and impacted and shaped on their way to adulthood. How do we find more devoted teachers like you? xo
Wow what an incredible and beautiful woman. She is one of those people who teaching is truly their calling in life and they touch so many lives. Very inspiring.
Couldn't agree more :). Thank you for leaving such kind words ❤️ . -Stephanie
@@ThePatientStory Also, Stephanie you are such an empathetic and wonderful interviewer.
Contrary to common belief, cancer is a metabolic disease caused by persistent and prolonged inflammation. Despite treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy it resurfaces after certain time in other parts of the body and it is more aggressive and deadly. The underlying condition which is inflammation is never addressed. Inflammation starts with food we eat. It’s not only most of the foods are inflammatory but also they do not provide sufficient nutrition. Human body requires animal protein and animal fat for proper functioning. Everything else causes inflammation. If you have pain of any kind, difficulty sleeping, lack of energy. These are first signs of inflammation. It is usually followed by anemia. It is very common that at this point people discover they have some form of cancer. Prevent inflammation to stay healthy.
Shyreece 🥰it shows cleary what a wonderful teacher you are 🌻wish you the best ❤️
God Bless You Shyreece! You are such an inspiring, strong, positve woman. Wishing you God's Best!🙏
Wishing you well. You are an amazing woman ❤
We love her energy ❤
My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer the Dr said the it was a small area they said they would go in cut that area out said it would be 6weeks on recovery well they went in and it was everywhere stage 4 in on her Isophicus and the lining of a heart they closed her up told her she had 6 weeks to live that was September 11th of that year she said she would have one more Christmas with us she fought a good fight passed away in February the following year she's been gone 26 yrs she was the strongest person I have ever know miss her dearly but I will see her again in Heaven one day.
Would be nice to have more description about her symptoms…was dancing the very first symptom? What got her to ER? What was it that kept her in hospitalization? Oxygen levels? Shyreece has great energy.
Dancing was what she was doing when she felt her first symptoms. She stated clearly that her arms were so heavy and she had terrible fatigue. Then, her heart was throbbing with skipped beats.
@@rebeccabrown5014 But then she said that it took a week for her to go to ER. I'm wondering what symptoms did she experience within that week to cause her to go ER. She also mentioned asking for cough medicine when she ended up in the hospital, so I'm guessing she also had coughing as one of the symptoms. So she did leave out some symptoms.
I'm wondering if she had chest pain, back pain, rib pain etc
I had shortness of breath and heart palpitations. The wheezing ESPECIALLY became noticeable to my colleagues. These were some of the first symptoms that told me something is gravely wrong, and I need to see a doctor.
I wonder if there is anyway I could be in contact with Shyreece. I have a similar diagnosis. Just would like more information. Thank you for these!
They..told me rightaway I have no chance surviving this lungcancer..gave me a few months and I am lost in this inhumane act of the doctor who told me
It is never over til the fat lady sings! Feckless Doctors only have big pharma. Seek God and he will guide you. There are miracles happening every day.
@Lucy Left the Building Im doing good, starting radiation next week. Chemo is heavy but I want my life back so..everything is possible indeed. Thank you very much for your kind words❣️🙏
@@chantalscghurinkare you okkk now?? Please reply
@@babyworld2754 still here and doing okey for now thank U 🙏
maybe PASSIVE smoking, i.e. being around people who smoke for many years. I read it s more dangerous than actual smoking as the "side stream" of the canceogenous substances are inhaled more passively.......this is why i m stilll afraid of lung cancer although i never smoked myself....but i had to work with chain-smoking 4 colleagues for 10 years in the 80s in a very small office room....
I don't know how you have done this for so long- and still so positive! I just started my 2nd year. By the time I was done with 6 weeks of chemo and 30 radiation treatments, my lungs are now trashed. I had pulmonary fibrosis before cancer. And the radiation has made that so much worse. They tell me there is nothing more to offer me, because of the shape of my lungs but I'm also not yet a candidate for Hospice yet either, because my cancer has not spread. Then a week agoI had a ct scan and 2 more spots showed up in roughly the same area. We will get PET scan on June 5 and results on June 6. I no longer have a desire to continue this struggle. Life has become soooo HARD. I am living on O2 and despite in home PT and OT I can barely get to the toilet alone. I am ready to go NOW. But I'm not allowed to do that either. 😢
Hang in there. I am praying for you that God grants you whatever your heart desires. May His presence be with you and life up your pain. Stage 4 lung cancer here.
Thank you. Same to you! I am only stage 3B (so far) last ct scan showed two new spots in upper rt lung - near where the primary rinse is/was. I have PET scan in 6/05 with results 6/06
I have never smoked A-day in my life either hate cigarette smoke.
Many that have never smoked are now getting lung cancer these days, it's all the pollution and junk we inhale. My mom and son were non-smokers and still got lung cancer.
Shyreece Pompey for President 🥇
Phenomenal woman
Can you heal from lung cancer? If you can can you survive for a long time like 30 years?
I wonder if it could be cleansers that we use.
Yes and all the rubbish in the food we eat now
Oh yes
The thing is you never think that you’re a patient. It came accepted it. Do the workouts everyday eat good food but only 2 meals morning breakfast and dinner. Must give gaps
Do whatever your daily work do it. I am a lung cancer patient.
Need not worry at all. Faith in God you will live long years.
You are right... I understand your every word. How's your health now? If possible please reply
I am black American and I have heard this type of cancer is affecting a lot of black American women and they don't know why.🤔
Lillian, thank you for leaving this message. It is so important we dedicate more to studies in every patient population. That means more research in line with what we've heard about diversity and inclusion! ❤️ Stephanie
@@ThePatientStory Thanks for your response I had surgery last Monday April 4th the doctor got all the cancer and there was no spreading in the lymph nodes thank God. But my doctor said because of the size of the tumor which is 4 cm and the kind of cancer it is he is going to look into seeing if I need more treatment or not to stop it from coming back.
@@lillianwisdom8298 look up Fenbendazole. It cures lung cancer. It is an anti parasitic. Look up Joe Tippens. He survived stage 4 end stage lung cancer. Still alive years later. Never had chemo or radiation
My dad has stage 4 lung cancer he's been fighting it for four months now. The doctors gave him 7 months all he does is sleep, and stay sick. What is it I should do or worry about?
Have your dad look up Joe Tippens story. He was given a few months to live with end stage lung cancer. He had a friend who was a veterenarian and he told him to try Fenbendazole which is an antiparasitic . He tried it and lo and behold his cancer went away. This was over five years ago and he is still alive. Go to Templeton Wellness RUclips channel. He is on a few of the videos and everyone on there were told to prepare to die and they went with natural therapies and are alive and well today!
@@andreabontempo643 wow. I’m going to go watch his videos. My mom was just diagnosed and my family is just devastated.
Give food which works against that cancer continuously .keep him great strength in his body to fight against he can live more years
@@andreabontempo643and
I was told had lung cancer. Shocked. I was fit. I thought. How can that be. I am still very angry. My body has let me down SOOO CROSS
Stay strong ❤
Wow....is she still with us ??? 🙏
She is! Shyreece is doing really well.
@@ThePatientStory Thats great
After surgery or before, make sure they do a brain scan
I am 81 yes. In July of this year I was diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer. I have researched ra d iation and surgery and the side effects of having either are horrifying. I am leaning towards doing nothing thinking that their treatments could just hasten my suffering and death I need to make a decision soon any input from viewers would be appreciated c iated.
(Seanizad) Hi, one thing I can tell you is my mom wished she never did treatment, because it did nothing at all to help her, it just made her suffer a horrible death in the end. All she wanted to do was walk the beach and just couldn't, due to all the poison she ingested 😢 I pray for you and so sorry to hear about you diagnosis. ❤
Yes a brain scan is very important with lung cancer, because through the lungs it will travel straight to the brain quickly.
❤😢
Praying for a healing for everyone try cannabis oil and thc for cancer and worm medicine for pigs or dogs to kill cancer amen
Agree. Morenga leaf tea and oil of oregano. Ivrmctn dewormer. Hint hint
Very Good Debbie! I have been curing cancer for 10 years now with cannabis oil. If more people would just listen
We're do you get the canibis oil and what kind do u get ? I have cancer.
@@mariedixon6081
