Well done Michael!!!! You'd never guess looking at you that you kicked cancers ass twice!!! You look great!!! Your Daughters are so lucky to have you ❤
Glad you got it. My dear Sister was begging them there for that. She passed away. She never got it. She would be here today had they given it to her. Glad you were lucky enough to receive it.
She left behind her spouse, children and grandchildren.
I’m so sorry for your loss!
I'm so sorry
These stories are terrifying after losing most fam friends colleagues and acquaintances to C in the past 6 years. Terrifying because all of them were dismissed or ignored or misdiagnosed, almost all too later. Thank you for educating us
I’m in the battle right now and it was so uplifting to hear your journey. I needed to hear this, thank you for sharing. May God Bless you always!!
My son had b cell lymphoma, stage three when he was eight years old, I worked in oncology so it was a nightmare for me as I knew a lot of what lay ahead. He had really heavy duty chemo, lost his hair eyebrows finger nails and toe nails he ended up being tube fed as he couldn't swallow. Every cycle of chemo he needed blood and platelet transfusions and he got a infection with every cycle and had to have IV antibiotics. He had echos of his heart wjth every cycle and it did struggle a bit but after treatment it went back to normal. Because he hadn't gone through puberty they didn't know If he would be sterile or not as it turns out he is so if he wanted kids it would have to be IVF he doesn't want kids anyway so it's OK, there was no choice anyway it was be sterile or be dead. He's thirty five now so it all paid off in the end, it is a nightmare though. I hope you continue to be OK all the very best. 🇬🇧
Thank you for telling your story and helping other people.

Sending my blessings and best wishes brother unfortunately I am going through testing myself I been very poorly with a chronic cough and colon issues plus I am also fighting alcohol addiction which my liver is damaged also. It's because of alcohol addiction and weight gain as confusion of my diagnosis. But it's videos such as yourself gives me hope and understanding. I got no kids like yourself but your kids and wife is your fight to stay strong. I adore your story and truly appreciate you so much. I will use this as a way to keep fighting on whatever the outcome but if eventually my become too tough at least there want be much heartache because i got no one. Nevertheless I am humbled and grateful to all stories of recovery god bless and love ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your story Michael and Kim.
Michael thanks for sharing your story. Very informative.
God Bless you all. I pray you are around for another 30 years. I believe totally in self advocacy. People should always learn everything they can about their bodies and illnesses. Also I believe you need to rely on God. Also having that big family to fight for is key. Your wife is amazing and God Bless her. You are lucky to have made it to the wedding let alone with hair. Be thankful for that.
My husband has nasopharyngeal dlbc non hodgkins lymphoma gcb subtype . Has had five r chops he couldn't tolerate the sixth one.A pet scan is scheduled in a few weeks. He was really sick and I wondered if he'd make Christmas eve. My anxiety has been through the roof we got so much more living to do. God bless you and tyvm for your video. My husband lowest weight was 139 in ICU and he's almost 160 again.he us 6'4" and usually is lean at 200 lbs ❤
The name for it is "guinea pigs
LOL 😂"
If you were dying, you'd be a guinea pig too.
CAR-T is no longer experimental and it's saved many lives. Before any treatment is accepted for a clinical trial using humans, it's first tested on mice. People often seek out a clinical trial when they've run out of options and it's their only hope to save them.
I'm so happy that you're doing so well. Itching is one of the B symptoms of lymphoma. Many people dont know that. Thank you for informing others about that.
God bless you
Thank you for sharing. The best to you and yours
