A Routine Test Led to My Hodgkin Lymphoma Diagnosis: Danielle's Story | The Patient Story
It was a shock to Danielle and her family, when her mother was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, myelofibrosis. Her mother needed a donor to get a stem cell transplant and tests showed Danielle was a good match. Danielle then went to get a routine chest x-ray and it showed a tumor near her heart. She was then diagnosed with stage 1 classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
Danielle began chemotherapy in January and achieved remission after 4 cycles. However, after finishing the full 8 cycles of chemotherapy, a follow-up PET scan showed the cancer wasn't gone.
Danielle underwent immunotherapy to get back into remission before receiving an autologous stem cell transplant from her brother. A PET scan 100 days post-transplant showed no evidence of disease!

The way you found out was so good.. my stepbrother has leukaemia and his full sister did tests to be his donor but the tests showed she had leukaemia as well.. caught very early.. she is ok and in remission but my stepbrother is not too well but so so happy he was the reason his sister found out she had cancer and could be saved. Wishing you a very healthy and long happy life ❤
Hi Danielle, just came across your video. All the best sweetie. Xx
I had previously watched your mom’s video! You are amazing…what a miracle to have your discovery! You are a blessing
I’m so glad you were guided to get that X-ray. I think you can rest assured knowing that you were guided to that to give you the best chance of beating this thing and that you will. Wishing for healing and long, happy lives for both you and your mom 💛
Thank you so much for sharing your story. And, yes, please write your book! I found other survivor stories so helpful to me during my cancer journey. ❤
Thanks for sharing your story. You are so young to have to go through so much. I'm so happy to hear the transplant went well, and you are hopefully cancer free for life. Wish you the very best. Sending you love ❤️ and prayers 🙏.
So glad you are doing well!
Thanks for sharing. It's very helpful for me and I'm sure, many others who are going through this journey. ❤
I wish you well and I will be praying for you!
I’m so sorry you had to go through this! Best wishes for continued good health!
Well done video! It might be helpful to interview your mom as to how she handled your cancer. Your book will be so helpful to others. Blessings and prayers. Thank you!
Wow, what a story! What an amazing young woman you are!! Were you able to continue your dream job? Wishing you continued great health!!
Thank you for sharing your story ❤
I did not understand the hair thing till my sister got lymphoma. We are 7 hours away from each other. When I saw her she had lost her hair. A 76 yr old without hair, she had always been the girly one. The next year I saw her.. her hair was back. No longer gray but a bright red. Growing up, she had black hair. Her chemo she did not mind...it was the 4 pound groin tumor removal that hurt her so much. But...4 yrs cancer free. So I have hope and pray you will be cancer free the rest of your life.

Im happy you're better. How is your mom? Did your brother donate to her? I have cll. Always on alert
🙏 ❤️ 🙏 For You and All
Congrats to you! But sorry you have to deal with a healthcare system which depends upon profit. How awful, to think lifesaving treatment is "expensive" for the patient. Incredibly cruel, really. It should be 100% free for anyone who needs it.

So you and your mom fighting cancer at same time? Did your mom ever get someone else to give her stem cells? This also had to effect your brother too having surgery to give you a chance to survive. Wow that was a lot for you and your family. Thanks for sharing your story. I am interested in hearing more about how your mom 🧑 s doing too. Was she going through chemo at same time as you?
Thanks for sharing your story I'm so happy you've come through this process so well!!! Please stop using earbuds though. I'm pretty sure they can cause brain cancer 😢😢 why take that chance! ❤❤❤
could the COVID vaccine initiate the Hodgkin lymphoma development?

cancer feeds on (eats) sugar and processed foods Exodus 15:26, Psalms 30:2, Psalms 103:1-5, Isaiah 53:4-5, Jeremiah 17:14, Jeremiah 30:17, Malachi 4:2, Matthew 4:23-24, Acts 2:38& 2:40, Revelation 20:11-15,
We all deserve to die. That's why we all do die. Life is a gift from God that we did not and can not earn. He came down and died on the cross to save us from the second death. Repent and trust Jesus Christ, Lord of all.

You show no empathy for this cancer stricken women, but Jesus at least shows us love! So, let me get this right what u r saying, if u had or do have a child, and they had cancer, you would say to them, “well, u don’t deserve to live, it’s a gift.” You’re a cold hearted person.
