Hi! My name is Vanessa and I am a colorectal cancer fighter, mother and wife. I have three children Carah, AJ, and Arianna. I'm 27 years old and started my RU-vid Channel to make memories with my family and cancer awareness. 💙🎗
You had the "luck" to have a familiar history with cancer, so the gastroenterologist took you even more seriously. I will never be able to know what is my familiar history because i was adopted 10 days after i was born .
Ok a tip for going to emergency room or when some symptoms come up Ok , one night in my sleep I had a massive acid reflux, it was a good bit , I spit it into my hand just out of reflex to see what it was, all red , yep all blood , I was shocked, I’m a mechanic so anytime I see something on a truck I take a pic with my camera, so I took a pic , washed up went to the emergency room , I felt fine but thought something was very wrong, the doctors at the hospital were like are you sure ?? Maybe it was red sauce, I whipped out my phone and showed them they were like wow that’s blood and it’s a lot , I also coughed into a cup while waiting and it as just a dollop of blood , they tested my lungs , fine , thank god , they done a endoscopy, and cauterized an ulcer in my stomach, I must’ve ruptured it some how , but my point is , take a pic , if it’s ur stool so wat take a pic and show them They are busy and a lot of folks exaggerate,
I have my procedure in six days. I’m nervous about this packing thing because my stomach is very weak. Well, I didn’t think I could handle my bag and I eventually did. Oh my! Here we go again! Thank you for sharing.
I know your experience was 2 years ago. I am getting a colostomy reversal next month. Theres a chance I may come out with a ileostomy. Thank you for sharing!
Using a petroleum infused gauze covering will keep the wound protected as it heals, and prevent sticking. Cover with a regular gauze, then an abdominal pad taped over. You dont have to pack unless directed by the surgeon.
I had a colonoscopy a year ago they couldn’t get the scope all the way through my sigmoid colon they want to do a barium enema test where they put the fluid up your rectum and it shows everything to see what is stopping the scope from going through. I haven’t done it yet because I hate the colon I have an appointment on next week Tuesday I’m going to schedule it. I realize I should’ve done it a year ago when they asked me to, I’ve had the office smelling discharge coming from my bottom. It’s really gross and I keep being anemic having to get iron infusions. I had the stool test completed and they were all three positive so I’ve got to get to the bottom of this. I’m tired of feeling bad thank you so much for telling your story. I pray that you stay cancer free. God bless you.❤️🙏😇🌹🌷
You look beautiful. God bless you Nd your family and give you a long life. I have to catch up on your older videos. I just watched this video and watched your first video which made me cry. I have a relative fighting this desease too. Love to you and your loved ones.
My ER experiences have been terrible too. I had colitis or they would laugh because it was just constipation because I would bleed,vomit and I would go from loose to constipation and I had the pressure with the blood. I lost my mom to Colon cancer in 2018, and my Uncle in 2009 and my sister passed away from pancreatic cancer I'm so so sorry for you ❤
Hi iam 71yrs have all symptoms you did. Seard to death putting it off my twin just died reaction to chemotherapy I don't no what to do !!! Love to you my dear prey for you 🙏 ♥
I will be having surgery for my takedown next week on Monday July 1st i was super excited when I got my takedown date in the beginning of the month now I'm just super nervous and scared 🙁 I pray every night hoping everything goes well with my surgery 🙏
Hey Vanessa, I just had mine removed Tuesday, June 18, 2024 and right now makes five days it is so itchy and it looks just like yours now when they put it in it didn’t look bad but right now it looks puffy just like yours and I have a rash it is so itchy 😢
Many, many doctors are so stupid - blood in the stool is an emergency for colonoscopy and iron in the blood tests. There are stool blood tests in pharmacies just for those cases when blood is not observable, at all... Blood in the stool is already a big tumor, having its own chaotic blood supplies, which are weak and therefore suffer continuous ruptures. This is the first diagnosis to be ruled out - cancer. A colonoscopy is not as painful or stressful as a visit to the dentist. It is mandatory to know that if the tumor is in the ascendant or transversal part of the colon, there is NO BLOOD in the stool, but dark color. In such cases, cut out chocolate, coffee, and dark food and look if it remains dark. The color should be light yellow after 3 days of potatoes, rice, and white-ish food. If it remains dark, there is blood leaking somewhere in the gastro tube and a colonoscopy and a CT scan is an emergency. Surgery is a good thing, but chemo and radiation is not. It is a lot to tell here. Watch healed one stories, tenths, a lot of healed doctors, on conquerigcancer.com. Apply Jane Mc Lelland's off-label drug 100% medical protocol, take long-term group psychology classes and follow what healed ones did! Read an d apply "Square One" - by Chris Wark, Total Remission - dr Kelly Turner, and Jane Mc Lelland 2 books about the off-label antitumoral drugs protocol (100% proven by archived observations in many hospitals - but never taken seriously in oncology).
Hi, Vanessa. I went through almost all you are saying - low iron in the blood (for men, it is a gastro-surgical emergency - but few doctors knew this), 6 months of wrong checking of some stupid doctor's beliefs it was a blood disease, then sharp pains in abdomen, a wrong appendectomy, missing a golf ball size tumor on echography, then I insisted of a CT scan, and finally they saw the tumor on the ascending colon part. The procedure is to cut out half of the colon. After so many mistakes, the total lack of evidence any people had any benefit (I asked and searched for it, but none was available, but contrary) and an old belief chemo is not medicine, but insanity (it is like putting fire in a house to get rid of ants), with a lot of courage I refused chemo. The stage in which blood is in the stool cannot be an early one. Anyway, they mark the PTN stage by counting affected ganglions, invasions etc. The surgery in such cases is a good option, but not the chemo/radiation. There is a site of SKCC that had in 2019 a life expectancy calculation after introducing all the pathology results, the chemo prescribed, and without chemo, the site results of life expectancy were noticeably greater. One of the oncologists printed me the EU and USA protocol, to convince me to go chemo. Well, exactly on those pages, there were 2 *, on the bottom of one page saying this "There is no proof that FOLFOX/5FL-Oxaliplatine.../... are adding any benefits to the patients". I showed that to the oncologist and she said "We have no other treatment to give them" Hahaha! But that is not a treatment, they are poisoning people, and officially acknowledging this does not help at all. I took healing in my own hands knowing I would heal if I felt good and took care of myself. There are a lot of things to be done in cancer healing because cancer is in the majority of cases a lifestyle problem. 95% of gastro cancers are started only because the microbiome turns to an aggressive one, because of the lifestyle (pub med studies). Less than 5% are genetically correlated (not induced by genetics!). I took strong psychological courses, took Jane Mc Lelland's 100% medical-proven antitumoral protocol (COC in Care Oncology Center London is a small part of it) and followed almost all chapters from Square One by Chris Wark. Total Remission was the first book to read, then healed stories of tenths from conqueringcancer.com. I know this sounds somehow weird, but doctors simply know only to cut, burn, and poison, none of them are focused on what led to cancer. There is so much to be talked about, but after some hard times, my tests were better and better, until cancer-free results came. If one gives the healing responsibility to others who acknowledge they have no treatment to heal, but only worsen their overall health, how can healing be achieved? Read Jane Mc Lelland's books, listen to tenths of healed ones and you will find there is a strong backbone in cancer healing. The first step is taking responsibility in your own hands, identifying and giving up on everything that led to cancer, having strong and long-term psychology courses on beliefs, on lifestyle bad routines. Wish you the best from all of my heart. You have a huge courage to speak up about what you have been through.
