how i found out i had cancer | hodgkin's lymphoma | part 1 of my cancy wancy story 

Me, a major hypochondriac watching this: 👁👄👁

Doggo snores are the perfect soundtrack.💜 Also, i'm sorry you slipped through the cracks, and I'm glad it was caught before something worse happened. You really don't think about things like that when you're young, and I'm super glad you had parents who cared and urged you where you needed to go.

Hi Lizzy, I guess this is one of those times that I don't believe in coincidences. Instead, I believe I was meant to see this particular video, that you created scroll down my feed. I had just been texting a friend about putting off some concerns with my health, and one symptom has been enlarged lymph nodes that started in my neck. After texting, this video showed up. My gut told me to watch it. I am so thankful that I did. You reminded me that ignoring my symptoms isn't going to get me the care or reassurance that I need. So, I want you to know I will be booking the tests my GP has ordered, and I will be making the necessary medical appointments too. Thank you SO much for doing this video! Please never hesitate to share your stories, as it could make a huge difference in someone's life. I hope you are as well as can be! Many blessings being sent your way. 🦋🙏💙

She deserves so many more views /subscribers. She’s so genuine and funny 🙂you go girl !🥳

I’ve recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and just completed my first round of chemo.. phew what a journey already. What I will say is nothing has been more helpful then hearing stories like yours! It helps remind me of my strength to see such rad beautiful woman make it through some of the hardest health challenges💖 much love and thank you for sharing xoxox

Hi Lizzy thank God your ok my son's is 21 and we're going through the same thing the past 6 months I understand what you went through God bless you with good health and thank you for sharing your story it helps stay strong ❤️❤️

Stumbled upon this - so glad you are ok. But you are freaking hilarious!

Your humour & amazing personality is just bloody brilliant! We’re all so so happy your still here as your such a blessing in this world ❤️ stay heathy xx

Oh boy! Tears running down my face! Love Milo the pug by your side❤️ TY for letting me in on your u tube video, so proud of my girl 👍🏻😍 When our doc shared the difficult news, I asked him who the best doctor was to treat you, he did us right with Dr. Minh Nguyen , although your ABVD treatment was horrible to go through , you are cancer free and livin your dreams with Your boyfriend and 2 pugs! Remember we would go to the Ranch house every other weekend for 6 months cause you felt OK , healing mountains of Los Padres National Forest and love from family and friends. Mama will go to the ends of the Earth for you❤️ I thank the good Lord above you are here and Vibin and Thrivin 👏🥰✝️

My Uncle had it twice and my best friends Sister also had it at 20. Both did treatment and got on with life. So great that they beat cancer.

I love the way your shared your story, the humor is thee best part. 😊 I’m so glad you’re okay!

Is that dog snoring I hear? Cancer isn't a death sentence but it is very upsetting when you get the initial diagnosis. Glad you are still on the earth to spread your story.

Hey got the all clear of Hodgkin lymphoma back in may and diagnosed again 4 months later in September, lol wasn’t expecting it to come back so quickly, ( also have M.S and Crohn’s disease) last year I originally put down my issues to ear infection for 3 months, went to Greece for 2 weeks and was still suffering, went to see doctor start of November, she said my ears were clear but she was worried about my huge swollen neck 🤣🤣🤣. Thought it was all to do with ear infections, long story short got my diagnosis Christmas Eve last year, and it’s back already, oh well, shit happens tomorrow is another day

Thank you for this, I have the same symptoms same age, your energy is so uplifting i’m so grateful for you. I hope you’re well

Getting really afraid because I have been having like all of the symptoms + a big lump in my neck and frequent fevers 😭 but I have a history of health anxiety as well so I could just be spiraling. Anyways Im glad that you are thriving now! Thank you for posting this video to share awareness!

At first i was not worried about nodes swelling, but then when i got meningitis doctors while reviewing my ct scan saw them all over my body... I had biopsy of a lymph node and it came up to be hockins lymphoma. Yeah that changed everything about my life. It all went downhill. Its strange i was a freelance concept artist for videogames and my dream too was finishing art school.

"because I was misguided as FUCK" Totally felt that. LoL

Thank you for sharing you story! So pumped that I found your channel! Annnnd I also LOVE that sweater...just a side note lol.

I know what you mean when you say it feels like you're lying. I was diagnosed with leukaemia 10 years ago while I was pregnant and when I talk about it now it feels like it happened to someone else. Its just so surreal that it was me. Glad you're doing ok now ❤

I love your dog! Also kudos for you to talk about this. It's scary to talk about this, and you were so put together and handled it so well. Good on you, hon! Very proud!

Nice HIPAA violation that doc made when he told your mom you had cancer. Yikes Thanks for sharing your story, you are funny and great at telling stories.

U think your docs make u wait. I’ve been going through hell the last 8-9 months and when I do tests or bloodwork my docs are making me wait like 2-3 sometimes 4 weeks before I hear back from them and in the meantime I’m deteriorating, losing weight and getting weaker. They must know and not want to tell me so I don’t stress anymore 😔

me- a hypochondriac whos here bc (... okay maybe not a hypochondriac bc ive been struggling with being so sick for a couple years and all tests, labs, exams, misdiagnoses, symptoms being attributed to a different diagnosed thing and just brushed off, etc and i think im just trying so hard to find out whats wrong w me bc it makes me so miserable) every. single. time. i go to the doctor she orders my white blood cell count bc she thinks something is wrong and then checks my chart to see that I had them done recently. Shes tested me for anemia, narcolepsy, hyperthyroidism, something with my liver, and a few more but stopped remembering them bc ive had so many. I do however have an autoimmune disorder. Ive been on every med and nothing helps.

Hello Lizzy, I hope this finds you well. I can't believe they didn't tell you! Ive listened to other folks saying they had mis communication as well with Drs. Ive not seen treatment yet ive been in-between health insurance but it will not surprise me. I think you have an awesome personality im old enough to be your mom 😂 Let us know how your doing. Any health changes? That you suggest? Have a merry Christmas ❤

love your candor- what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… or ptsd or lol

Thanks for sharing. Shocking that this happened you. You look fantastic and i hope you're doing well. Love your dog. Is that him snoring😂

Cancy wancy. I love it! Most of us with Hodgkin's survive. My ABVD didn't do the trick. Did RICE; no dice. BEAM with Autologous Stem Cell Transplant got me through. For now, anyway. Best wishes, Lizzy!

I'm in the process of being diagnosed now, PET scan is in 2 weeks, and the little nodes on the back of my neck also just recently merged into a boulder 😮. I have a lot more than those, but the fact they did that and so did yours kinda tells me we're on the right track with them thinking lymphoma. Did you have any B symptoms?

im a hypochondriac and Lymphoma is my fear right now. I had blood work which came back fine. I usually wouldn't watch a video like this but I was drawn to it and glad I watched it. thank you :) was your blood work out of wack when you had it?

Your energy us great, thanks for sharing your story ❤

Thank you for sharing your story. Love your personality and sense of humour, glad you are ok.

I love your personality! This was my fave cancy wancy story.

Thankyou very much for sharing your story , you are brave and greatly appreciated.💓

Omg I love your personality and editing style.. totally forgot about my shit 😅 Thank you

Diagnosed 2 weeks ago with Hodgkins. tomorrow I find out what stage I am

How big were your lymph nodes? If you don't mind me asking.

I found your video because I found two swollen lymph nodes on my neck but no cold. I hope I don't have cancer! Ahh so kind of partially hypochondriac kinda

Are you no longer doing you tube videos? I subscribed, yet see you haven't done any in awhile. I so hope everything is okay. 🦋🙏💙
