People always say to me, "you don't look like you have cancer." I don't even know what that means lol. Great video!

Same goes for me when I wear my wig and make up haha! When I went for my CT scan, the nurse who was giving me the contrast said that she had no idea I was sick until she looked at my chart.

Wonderful presentation. You are such a terrific resource for those of all ages ( I’m 52!) who are entering the unknown world of cancer. Keep up the great work😃
One more. You can be good, you can feel fine. The thing that I come across often is that people think that just because I have cancer I can't feel good and fine and be happy. And they always feel like asking how I am doing is a insult to me. I don't even...
Love your excellent info and upbeat attitude. I was recently diagnosed with Diffuse large B-Cell Lymphoma Stage 3; my oncologist says the cancer is aggressive but curable! I had the 1st of 6 infusions 2 days ago, they will be spaced three weeks apart! I feel great today with excellent energy, strength, and appetite! But it’s early and understand it will tougher going forward. Thanks again, Wilfred
Good for YOU to get the facts & great information about cancer cells🎯
I love how positive you are about your situation!! Great video❤️
Been watching your cancer journey from Wisconsin! You are amazing!
You are awsome! I beat stage IV cancer over seven years ago. I am glad you are doing so well.
EVEN MORE THAN STAGE 4 COULD NOT CONQUER YOU. BE POSITIVE AS YOU ARE, YOU CAN DO IT. CONTINUE PRAYING FOR YOU.
Great information Magdalena. Good for you for putting it up. Take care. You look great ❤😊
Love your positive good young spirit from one Canadian to another , wishing you a complete recovery, I am just starting my chemo soon 💗🙏

Omg thank you for the biopsy doesn't spread cancer. That is 1 teeny tiny worry knocked off the list.
Great information!
That was good Magdalena 💕
Much love to you, you beautiful person :)
Interesting video! You look great btw❤️
There are some cases when a biopsy can cause cancer to spread. I had cancer in my tear gland (who even knew that was possible?!), although the type of cancer is also found in the salivary glands. The type of tumour I had starts off as benign and can sometimes turn malignant, as mine unfortunately did. Basically this tumour grows in a capsule made up of healthy tissue. If any of the tumour escapes the capsule then you’re in trouble; that includes the benign tumour because if any gets left behind then it will eventually turn malignant. As a result it has been shown that you cannot biopsy this type of tumour or it will cause the cancer to spread or even mean the patient gets cancer when they wouldn’t have otherwise. The only way to properly diagnose a mass in the tear gland then is to remove it, making sure the entire tumour is kept in tact and then send it off for pathology. Regardless, the first treatment for any tear gland tumour would be surgery to remove it (even if it’s benign it’s not much fun having a giant lump making your eyes uneven!), so doing a biopsy wouldn’t really change things anyway.
Magdelana, Thank you for the info. I’ve done some reading but haven’t looked into the sugar info. Different ones have told me to cut out sugar. I haven’t. Hard habit yo break. Only Redon I even suspected I had cancer was losing 25 lbs and pain in my shoulder blade. The tumor was putting pressure against my rib cage causing the pain. I 1st thought my neck was out of wake so went to chiropractor . 2 weeks later had the x-ray and there I went on my journey. Of course I suspected only because of my history and my gut telling me. I knew I would have breast cancer and I knew I would have. Lung cancer. Didn’t expect it to go to my kidney. So far the treatment I was getting work on my kidney also, so we are focusing on the lung right now. Sorry now I’m babbling. Any way hope you are doing well. Stay strong. 💕
Great information. Hope you are feeling good. Take care...your Peg Pal.
I have Stage 4A Ductal Prostate Cancer. Was diagnosed January 2016. Still going strong (well trying to go strong). Never lost my hair. Actually gained a lot of weight (fat). Thank you for your video.

Yes but many people believe every type of cancer and every stage and cancer in general is a fatal disease, and eventhough sometimes its hard to be cured from a stage 4 cancer , lymphoma has a pretty good prognosis

Exactly.... cancer is not a single disease, but many. Also breast cancer can be very different depending on subtypes, and prognosis can be terrible or good. But one thing is in common: people don’t want to know about cancer. And it is a big problem for people who have to fight...
Along way this journey
Magdelana, I don't know if I ever "looked sick" when I was going through chemo. I would have to check my pics to see if I "looked sick" or not. One of the nurses in the infusion room where I got my chemo said I was very sick when I was admitted to the hospital the day after I found out that I had tested positive for lymphoma cancer. The next day I had my 1st chemo treatment. What are your chances of surviving? The cancer dr gave me a 50/50 chance of surviving my cancer. Of getting it to remission. I put my faith and trust in God to get me through everything I want through. I had a blood bacteria after my 1st round of chemo too. I had to get that taken care of too. I got an Iv every 4 hours for 24 hours a day for 2 weeks. I got a total of 84 units of my medication to take care of my blood bacteria. I got through all of that.

@@Pkaistan I’m doing pretty good now, I’m between 2 and 3 years of being cancer free. If I can make it to 3 years cancer free then I will probably never have a relapse, but then again maybe I would. My kind of treatment was so new that the booklet of the kind of cancer treatments didn’t even have it in that booklet.
I see that many people have already said this but, I do want to say that stage 4 is a death sentence for other cancers. Maybe not for lymphoma. And the staging of other cancers maybe different depending on the type. Example- Melanoma and Breast Cancer. BTW- its crazy how simular your cancer (lymphoma) was, compared to one of my cancers (melanoma) are. I had an extremely large tumor in my mediastinal area, and many in my lungs and nodes. They actually diagnosed and started to treat mine as lymphoma. Well until 2 months later when we discovered the treatment was not working, and the genetic makeup of my cancer came back saying that it was this rare form of Metastatic Mediastinal Melanoma with no skin involvement. How did I have melanoma with no skin involvement? I have no idea. Anyway, I love your videos. Thank you for sharing. I also have my journey online too. but mine is basically about being a single mother of 3 children, with 2 terminal cancers. Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer, and Metastatic Mediastinal Melanoma. Praying for you!
The sugar one is so annoying...I am so sick of people telling me to give up sugar.

Had high grade cancer cancer, CIN 3 and HPV used Escharotic treatment, normal pap smear, still got pregnant. Doctors would like to do leep procedure and said no. Leep procedure side effects. Loss libido, loss orgram function, nerves connect up cevix damage by treatment, shorter cervix, harder to get pregnant, sex drive and sex life. When with naturally way of treatments on cervical cancer.
Can you donate blood, will it spread? Lymphoma is a cancer of the blood/lymph

Is it true you can’t go into “remission” when you have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer due to its metastasis?

You may want to edit that last part. You accidentally said, “eating cancer will not cause cancer” when you meant “eating sugar”
Was yours Hormone receptive?

*lolol. Eating cancer in your diet, LOLOLOL.*
Regarding sugar: - Cancer cells consume more glucose than normal ones. - Carbohydrates break down into glucose to be utilised by cells, so they're basically sugar. - Cancer cells also consume glutamine - an amino acid. It's in everything, can't avoid. Here's something you can do which is HIGHLY EFFECTIVE: - Eat only ketogenic diet; no sugar, no carbs. Cancer cannot live on ketosis. - Glutamine effects can be mitigated by intermittent fasting; eat only in a narrow bracket, 2 meals a day. - There's a glutamine blocker drug called DON; unfortunately people don't know about it and it's not on market. However you can check out Prof. Thomas Seyfried's book: "Cancer as a metabolic disease", or learn about him via youtube. His team is treating end stage cancer patients using these methods listed above. That's all I know.
