From Stomach Issues to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Harriet's Story | The Patient Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2024
- When Harriet C. started experiencing concerning stomach issues, she initially brushed them off as normal digestive flare-ups. As an avid exerciser and ballroom dancer, Harriet knew something was wrong when she had difficulty after 2 minutes of walking. She then started feeling extremely fatigued and lost weight. Just days later, Harriet was diagnosed with a non-hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Looking back, she realized her body had been sounding alarm bells for months through unexplained, persistent symptoms.

Ditto! I was diagnosed with same cancer and wore the same blinders and plowed on! Just finished Cycle 6 and looking forward to living life again! God bless you.
Good for you that you completed your treatment. Now go and Carry on!
I had the same cancer 42 years ago.
I adore tiny people with enormous zest for life! ❤
very encouraging. A cancer diagnosis is not always terrible.
Wow! I had the same diagnosis at almost exact same time. I started epoch on April 14, 2022. Like you I tunnel focused. I would constantly tell myself I AM HEALING. I wouldn't listen to other people stories. I was so focused on my treatments. I finished the sixth round on August 1, came home and slept basically for a month. I also love tiny Buddha. My one difference is I do not get scanxiety. Peace be with you and your family thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you for making this. I’m a breast cancer survivor (24.5 years since dx; no recurrences so far). I’m a native Brooklynite (will never leave), and I love it when I “meet” other New Yorkers. I was treated at MSK. I embrace the negative and bizarre, as a visual artist and in general (no positively for me 😂). I like what you said about fearing recurrence or a new primary cancer. The fear may lessen but it never goes away completely. And there are so many diseases worse than most cancers (heart disease, for one example, can kill immediately - not that cancer survivors can’t get heart disease, too, of course). Still, cancers are amongst the most feared. Anyway, I wish you everything good.
Just fyi:not a clear sounding dialogue possibly due to microphone. PS: continue feeling better ❤
Thanks-- this was inspirational from start to finish!
You validated my way of thinking and life. Magick tempered with reality... Not about cancer but at 66 raising two boys who I adopted in my fifties. Foster that led to adoption. One 17 with autism and DMDD who is like a roller coaster with aggression and I worry about the future like I never did with my now 44 year old daughter. And my 13 year old son with adhd.
I'm putting on my blinders and just living day to day and doing what I know is right in my heart and soul🙏 Thank you
Sending you healing energy (I do shamanic work) and light and love!!
Wow, that's a lot to deal with. I like your wording here - 'magic tempered with reality'. Following your path of 'rightness' provides a huge sense of purpose and that helps with coping and living well into your path.
Sound is awful. Too bad because she seems like a great lady.
Positive thoughts and many hugs and prayers coming your way
Yvonne, I appreciate your words here.
What a wonderful uplifting video.
I wish you all the best on your healing journey ❤
Thank you so much, Jill. Wishing you the best.
Prayers for your continued journey 🙏🏻
Thank you, Michelle. Best to you.
Thank you for sharing 💕🙏
You are most welcome.
Lovely story! Thank you ❤
Thank you!
I was touched by your story! I’m thrilled for you! Your soul shined through….you had a glow about you. How you had acceptance in the first hours of diagnosis but given a real fighting chance after stating “you’d like more time” was great. I’m sending so much love to you and yours. 💕 Please Keep telling your story Harriet!
Wow, your words mean so much to me. Much gratitude. @@29sagittarius51
God bless you…
Good luck lady..
Did i miss something? What were the 5 symptoms?
My thoughts exactly lol
Various Gastric issues and loosing weight and I think the last symptom was an inability to walk on the beach which she thought was dehydration….
To be perfectly candid here, I don't like the title of 5 symptoms I ignored. I too don't know what all the 5 symptoms were. It's exactly what you wrote here, which may be 3 main symptoms. @@29sagittarius51
my hubby's mom was told she had Cancer and that she had it in her colon , possibly lymph nodes but she too was told that if she was going to be diagnosed with any form of Cancer the type she had would be the type she would want. My parents friend was told the same line verbatim, My great aunt was also told this, my cousin also told this same thing and my paternal aunt told that about her Ovarian Cancer as well, so makes me wonder why I keep hearing them using the same line on people.
I don't understand. What do you mean they told people they would get the type of cancer that they wanted? I don't think anybody wants cancer but that's not how it works. Doctors meet at a tumor board to determine your treatment plan after they have diagnosed it.
My husband too. Cancer 3 times and they’d tell him “as far as cancer goes, you got the good kind”… ummm 3 times?? Insulting.
Interesting about the same line being said. I wonder if it's a general line used to provide hope.
When my husband was diagnosed with DLBCL his oncologist said, “No cancer is good cancer.” However, he’s 77 and DLBCL is treatable and curable. Compared to triple negative breast cancer… DLBCL ain’t such a bad cancer to have, if ya gotta have it.
@@CoraJean19 Hi Cora, Glad to hear your husband is well. Yes, lots of compared to's.... Like you say, "if ya gotta have it"! Hope you're doing well too.
Where do these people get their energy??
Same with me, same cancer and same doctors statement
I am going to remember EPOCH-R since I have Sjogren's syndrome and we are susceptible to lymphomas.
May you never have to deal with this. Best to you.
I started to listen, but just couldn't tolerate the poor audio. It was too irritating and a lot of effort to try to understand what was being said.
Turn on cc😊
I agree , she als9 talked too fast lol
I had to turn the sound off and captions on
It’s the New Yorker in her ….absolutely lovely!!
Ha! Yes, I am a fast talker, and yes, maybe it can be 'blamed' on the NY hectic and frenetic lifestyle??!! Hubby is a very slow talker and he's from Scranton, PA! @@29sagittarius51
@@Morgan-yl3ouI love fast-talking! I’m a native NYer, btw. But the audio needs fixing.
❤❤❤

Just curious, but did you get the Covid shot?
Yeah, keep spreading ignorance. 🤮
