Cancer Survivor Story: How I Got Diagnosed with Lung Cancer (1/3) | Montessa Lee | The Patient Story 

Pray and trust Christ

@@claudianeymour63 🩸Stage 🩸four 🩸lung 🩸cancer🩸 there’s no cure you could go in remission for a while, but it will always come back because it’s in the lymph nodes or your blood 🩸 AND IF YOU GOT CORONAVIRUS LIKE ME, THAT’S WHAT STARTED IT AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY MILLIONS DIED IN DEUTERONOMY 28:43 to 44 you didn’t listen to God

My friend who was 78 at the time, had a 4cm sclc, they did 3 treatments of chemo and immunotherapy, and she is fine now 2 years later

How big was the tumour in your lung ?

@@Mickydee773 about 29mm. I had a nagging pain that would come and go, right over the tumor site for years, its gone now, i was under the impression lungs had no nerve pathways.

@@darrellbarry3402 I'm glad that it was caught early and you're still with us Was the tumor seen on a simple chest x-ray, or did they also need to do other things (such as autopsy and CT scan)?

@@sensimania I'd had chest x-rays in 2015 which never picked it up. The CT scan to check for internal injuries picked it up.

@@darrellbarry3402Was it small cell or large cell lung cancer?

I'm glad it got caught and you're getting help. Wishing you all the best ❤

Have never smoked or anything. I have a genetic mutation.

I hope you achieve your treatment goals and get well soon. You’re not alone when people are rooting for you.

All cancers are as a result of genetic mutation. It does not mean that you were born with it, it is most likely not an inherited genetic mutation. We do not know, for the most part, what causes genetic mutations, and thereby cancer. If we did, we could prevent cancer. We do know that smoking accelerates the rate of genetic mutations in the lungs, but there are many non-smokers who also develop these genetic mutations. Asbestos exposure can cause genetic mutations in lung tissue. Beyond smoking and asbestos exposure, we do not know what causes the genetic mutations that result in lung cancer. Some studies are indicating that fetal cells may cross the placenta during pregnancy, and end up in the mother's lungs, and develop into cancerous tissue at a later date. It's possible that this is what has caused your lung cancer. Unfortunately, we still do not know what causes most cancers.

Good luck with your treatment. At your young age, you are very likely to have a positive outcome. One positive lymph node is not too bad, your cancer has been caught early. Thinking of you, and wishing all the best for you!

@@anglophils645 that makes so much sense…Thankyou for that breakdown. they confirmed that I had a EGFR Mutation to develop but of course was not inherited. They believe the Li- Fraumeni syndrome I have allowed the mutation to take effect.

Thinking of you. If you're able to get yourself checked out, that may be the best way to get answers. All my best. -Stephanie

@@ThePatientStory Thank you very much

This is no joke 😓 save yourself and loved ones from this painful monster, visit Dr Uromi herbal home on RU-vid, natural herbs can heal you, i was saved too.

Sarcoidosis can, indeed, cause nail clubbing.

I heard nail clubbing can be a sign of lung problems..but it doesn't have to mean you have cancer..

If you have the symptoms, go to a doctor.

Cheryl, thank you so much for this feedback, we do understand how this can be. We are trying to figure out how to do follow-ups!

Please always get a second opinion and investigate more.

@@danikat6129 I will do. I have another scan in 2 weeks. I wish it could be sooner. Can't stand the waiting game 🙁 Thanks for responding

@@sensimania how are you now?

@@sensimania hey how are you doing? 🙏🏽❤️

@@tequilabumbum4373 Hi, thank you for asking. I had a followup x-ray a few weeks ago, which shows that the chest infection and atelectasis is gone (after taking antibiotics and doing breathing exercises). Not sure what caused those things. It's a chicken/egg type of situation (atelectasis can cause a chest infection, but a chest infection can cause atelectasis, but which one started first, and what started it??) It seems as though the rib pain was caused by acid reflux. I thought this was weird, because it's a different type of feeling compared to the usual type of discomfort one would get from acid reflux or indigestion. At times it was quite intense cramping of the ribs and breastbone, and other times it was a dull ache. But sure enough, the Omeprazole (indigestion meds) prescribed for me has taken care of that pain. The spine pain only started when I was taking the antibiotics to get rid of the chest infection. I didnt make the connection at the time of writing the original comment, but bone pain is one of the listed side effects for the particular brand of antibiotics I was taking. Again, it's weird that I still periodically feel discomfort in that part of the spine considering the fact that side effects are only meant to last while taking the meds that caused it (I took a 7 day course which also made me throw up on day 2). Apologies for the long comment, but hopefully my experience can help others rule out certain things and get tested for other things. Thankfully my symptoms were explained away by non-threatening factors.

Hi, I apologize, I don't understand your question. If it's medical, please reach out to medical professionals. Sending you my best. -Stephanie

@@ThePatientStory May I know what food / drinks/supplement did you take before,while and after chemotherapy. Tq.

@@didotbusu4178. SEE YOUR ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTY. You will never tell us how long we have to live with stage four non-small cell lung cancer ADENOCARCINOMA .. I HAVE SPENT THREE MONTHS OF MY LIFE, TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW LONG I HAVE TO LIVE YOU WERE ABUSIVE IN EVERY WAY IN EVERY SINGLE WAY HIDING SOMETHING IS A LIE AND NO LIAR GOES TO HEAVEN YOU’RE PRETENDING THAT. KEYTRUDA WORKS WHEN IT DONT .. YOU WON’T TELL US ANYTHING WE HAVEN’T LEARNED A DAMN THING NOT ONE THING NOT ONE THING HAVE I LEARNED IN THE THREE MONTHS THAT I HAVE WATCHED ALL THESE VIDEOS. I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, TO METASTASIZE TO THE BRAIN OR ANOTHER ORGAN THAT’S MY QUESTION AND MY ONLY QUESTION, BUT YOU CAN’T SEEM TO ANSWER THE QUESTION non-small cell lung cancer how long does it take to go to the brain or another Oregon? that’s all I wanna know and then I could go on with my life. I hate the Democratic Party you always hide something. You always lie. You can’t tell the truth and you waste peoples time.

Lung cancer affects as many non-smokers as smokers. 6 people I have known that have died of lung cancer, never smoked and weren't around smokers compared to only 2 smokers. There are more and more young adults and children getting lung cancer from smoke-free homes. It is baffling to say the least.

@@dragonladee3721 That is simply not true. Smoking cigarettes leads to 80-90% of lung cancers.

@@kermitthefrog3632 No - depends on the type of lung cancer and a Google search or any doctor would confirm this. The majority of people with Non Small cell lung cancer are non-smokers. Like myself.

@@dragonladee3721 VOCs are the reason.

You could have support to help you through the journey...so you won't feel alone. Prayers for your complete healing.
