I totally understand what you mean about the book missing the mark when it comes to accurately portraying what it’s like to face a totally life-altering illness, especially when one is so young and just starting to venture into life independently. It’s not romantic at all-it’s totally alienating. I don’t have lymphoma but I was diagnosed with a serious heart condition when I was starting college and it was as if life as I knew it was ended when I received the diagnosis. Friends left, lovers left…I aged decades mentally and emotionally in a matter of months but everyone around me remained unchanged. Yet, somehow, I was the one feeling stagnant and getting left out of living life for all of its beautiful and mundane happenings. While I am proud of what I have overcome, I feel desperate and incredibly alone sometimes, almost as if I have become distant and unreachable from everyone I love and everything I used to care about. I do miss the old me sometimes. I feel cheated and robbed of my youth, and it’s hard to initiate connections with people my age at this point in my life because, emotionally, I feel light years away. I’m sorry for venting on here, but I just wanted to let you know that there are others-although sometimes we are so quiet that we can’t be heard in such a loud world-that know what you’re feeling. Watching you share your experiences so openly and eloquently has really helped me make sense of some of my own feelings, and I’m so glad that you’re daring to be authentic and candid about your life in such a public way. I hope that you’ll continue to encourage healing and honesty with your content, but more than anything I wish with all my heart for your body to be totally healed someday very soon. I hope and I trust that this will one day seem like a faraway dream-a chapter that you have closed and only turn to for occasional reflection and reminders of your incredible strength. Sending love, light, and healing vibes.

So beautifully said. I wish you all the best - which sounds horribly trite, but I truly mean it. ❤‍🩹

this reminded me of the quote by ram dass, “the quieter you become, the more you can hear.” thanks for sharing, kam! not ramble-y at all 🙂 us humans really just want to know how others are feeling. sending you love! ❤️

Always thinking and praying for you cam🩷 when i was going through my hodgkins journey, a quote i saw that really stuck out to me and made me want to fight and push harder each day: “ you don’t have a right to the cards you believe you should have been dealt. You have an obligation to play the hell out of the ones you’re holding.” 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Sending Thoughts & Prayers to you! Praying you will soon be back up the air traveling the world and living your best life! 🙏✈️🙏✈️ thank you for sharing your cancer journey with us, we’re all thinking about you!

this made so much sense & was so beautifully said 🥺 i love you & am here for you in the highs & lows ❤️

you are the coolest!💛💛 keeping you in my prayers always!

You’re such a beautiful soul 🫶🏼

Sending you prayers. This too shall pass.

I’m sending all positive prayers and energy to you❤ you are unbelievably strong! thank you for being so open and honest 💭 lots of love from Germany

Thinking of you Kam, you are a kind and beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing and being so honest, it was so nice to hear from you. I'm sending my prayers and love your way. You should be proud of how far you've come.

Kam, It's so great to see a video from you!! I truly I could snap my fingers and make this all go away for you. I happy to hear you can travel. I completely understand being someone who loves to be busy I'm not being able to do the things that you want. It's frustrating to say the least. Not having control over your life is scary as well. I truly believe you're going to get through this and have the most beautiful future ever. We are all here for you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It was nice just to see your face and you can do hard things! Rest while you can, get ready mentally for your intense treatment coming. Praying for you to get to the other side of this. ❤

Thanks for your post. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I don't have to tell you how horribly unfair it is to have not only one, but a second round of cancer at such a young age. I'm glad you love to read - as that will help you keep your mind occupied while you go through treatment and heal. Can't wait to hear a video in the future where you will tell us you are well! All the best to you! ❤‍🩹

kim u are so strong!!! it may seem like the universe is ganging up on u right now but u have such a healthy mindset about it, that u'll be just fine. thank u for being so open about this experience. thank u for using ur platform to raise awareness of this. let the people who are still in ur life care for u because u don't have to face this alone.

Your videos mean everything to me 🥺 I am about a few weeks behind you in the a very similar situation. You have already helped me so much. ❤

I just recently relapsed with DLBCL NHL, I feel this. I’m so sorry you’re going through this again, but know we’ve all got your back. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing this chapter of your story. 💚

Thanks for the update! You are strong, definitely will find the right partner that deserves you!

Youre amazing kam. Just know youll be okay. Stay strong OK? Love you

You are a strong person. I'm sorry you are having to go through this all over again. Praying you will be able to go back to work as a flight attendant soon. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Don't give up!!! ❤

Thank you for your honesty & insights about your current cancer journey. You were not rambling, but sharing your innermost self. I'm glad you have a therapist helping you along your journey. Thinking continued good thoughts & prayers for you, ❤Kam.

Aw Kam - When it rains it pours....all you can do is roll with it and get to the other side of this treatment. The universe may have dealt these cards to you, but keep up the things that make you happy, make videos, travel when you can, and continue to help others by sharing your journey. I'm half expecting to relapse from HL (diagnosed 2 years ago yesterday!) I am prepping myself by watching your videos so i know what to expect if i relapse too.

I know what you mean, Kam. I was diagnosed right before Thanksgiving years ago (am fine now) and I remember all of the hustle and bustle around me while I felt still in time. It was such a strange and isolating experience. Keep connected to whats meaningful and present around you. 💜

So proud of you for being able to get out of bed each day. Thinking of you all of the time, all the way from Australia x

Rooting for you Kam 🩷

Kim you are being so brave and you didn’t ramble on. Your expressing your feelings is very good therapy for you. God bless you and you are in my prayers.

I'm so sorry that you are going through such hard stuff. I don't really know what to say but I'm praying for you and thinking of you. Have you watched the KZreadr Nolan Hynes? He had a stem cell transplant. He's on the other side of it now and doing good. Hugs

I think your video have help me I in my Journey where this month February later in month I am going to get my spleen tested /swollen lymph nodes to see if has cancer or a tumor my primary doc sent a referral over to hematology & oncology but it has been overwhelming so I kinda relate mentally in some ways but I think only told 4 people 2 my parents friend but non of my best friends know I just been challenged to tell them might be closer to my appointment might tell them but I nervous cancer dose run in my family it in my aunt and my grandma so I just couldn’t imagine if I have it ? But even thought haven’t been diagnosed I find hard even hearing those word need get checked for cancer and apparently

❤❤❤

First you are such a bright star 🌟 Second where did you get that sweater?? Xo

Hi Kam, how are you? My name is Gabriela, but you can call me Gabi. Get ready because this comment will be a long one probably 😂 I first came across your channel when you posted about your diagnosis three years ago. I was deeply moved by your story, your resilience, and especially your outlook on life. A few years have passed, you've healed, and I never thought I would personally deal with cancer in such a close way. Fast forward to November 2022, my grandmother, who was extremely close to me, was diagnosed with brain cancer. I took care of her for six long months that felt like years because I saw her wither away before my eyes, and then she was gone. Once again, fast forward to November 2023, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, unfortunately, hers has metastasis to the bones. She is in her fourth month of treatment, and hearing you talk about cancer has helped me so much, Kam. Thank you for sharing your story and especially for letting us know what's going through your mind every day. I discovered a lump in my breast, and I have a biopsy next week. The doctor has already mentioned that we will likely have to operate, so as you can see, unfortunately, cancer runs in our veins. I wish I could hug you; I can imagine how difficult it must be for you! I won't say 'stay well' because I don't think it's fair, you know? I would hated it when people said that to me when they knew about my grandmother's story and everything else because sometimes we can't just get better. It's okay for us to be down for a while, I believe that we need to pass through that process. You are extremely strong; I hope you know that and see it in yourself what we see from the other side of the screen! Sincerely, Gabi (your story came all the way to Brazil🥰)

Hi🙂, good to see your doing okay,I bet you really enjoyed your holiday and look forward to your video. I don't know if you look at older video comments, but incase you don't I left you a comment on your 'how does cancer affect relationships ', have a look if you haven't already seen it 🙂. X

🙏

you are so strong, girl. Also, this is super random but you remind me of a content creator named Mallory Page.

🙏 ❤️ 🙏 ♾️

❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Testing our relationships is important, you’re better off without that someone who left you now! He’s such a coward by the way.

You will ace the stem cell transplant my love - just one day at a time. So sorry about 💔 - that sucks… 🥲🤗. Thanks for the reminder about The Fault in Our Stars, great way to look at things. You’re in all our hearts. Xo.
