Miranda had rashes all over her body and horribly itchy legs. The doctors had no idea what was going on because Miranda’s blood tests kept coming back normal. Eventually, a lump arose in her neck, and it caused excruciating neck pain. Miranda decided to go get the lump checked out, and after a series of tests, Miranda was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
In this cancer vlog, Miranda opens up about her chemotherapy side effects, dealing with hair loss, and the grief that comes with remission.

When she said her therapist passed from cancer during her period in therapy, my heart just broke. Bless her & that sweet therapist who wanted to continue helping others until their last moments. What a testimony ❤

Thanks for sharing ur story it’s so touching. My Sister is a cancer survivor🙏 she had non-Hoskin lymphoma she went through chemo radiation and other trial treatments till they finally told her she needed a bone marrow transplant or she only had four months to live, which I was blessed to be her donor. They test us siblings first and I was the only one that was her match and I feel so blessed that I was able to, help her🙏it’s going in 8 yrs and she’s still cancer free thank God 🙏❤️I’m so glad u are a survivor🙏❤️

@shirleyscott8879 24 дня назад

Oh wow. Almost everything you said was true for me too. I’m in remission from breast cancer. (2 surgeries, chemo, 30 radiation treatments, 5 years of Letrozole) I didn’t colour my hair again after it grow back except for highlights once after6 years. Now I’m 10 years out from my main treatments. The feeling I got when I realized that there would always be someone to take my place in treatment was devastating. Many people I have known who had cancer when I did and after, have now passed. What got me through it all was my daughters and Jesus. I had many prayers answered during my treatment and after. I thank God every day for both the good and the bad of every day living.

Those pictures she showed definitely didn't look like eczema or rashes. These people are in denial. They think that if they don't go to the hospital it's not going to confirm the disease. But they are still slowly dying. Lying to yourself is the Antichrist spirit.

I had itchyness> Legs, arms, trunk. Swollen feet, anckless with red, brown, purple skin, like bumping on something. The pain was horrific in my feet, anckles, hands, lower legs. Red dots in my lower legs, feet. Sweating horrible at night, soaking wet all sheets, cushion. Smelled like a decomposing dead body! Swollen gums+ receiding gums. Could not stand of the pain. Just the pain...horrific. Itchiness horrible. Acute leucemia/hodgkin- nonh. Swollen glands, organs. Did not want therapy. I thought...i was finished anyway and the therapy i did not want for many reasons. Went home and cured myself. Developed infections after infections, cold sores after coldsores constantly, lost my voice, a red purple big spot in my mouth. Strange red/purple warts started to grow on my lower legs Skin necrosis. This was in 2007. Still alive. It was a long way of recovering. Had a little son. I will never ever forget how horrible my yourney was and how much pain, anxiety you can feel. I hope you stay strong lady.

Your story really touched me. I lost both of my parents to cancer, Pancreatic and Lymphoma. I have a lot of conditions and feel I won't be surprised if I end up with cancer also. Whenever I'm going through a phase of itchy skin or an enlarged lymph node I watch it closely. So far so good. Sending you and your lovely family positive vibes for a beautiful future.

Itchy skin was one of my symptoms for sure. They’ve actually become dark pigmented spots now. Everything she said, I thought mine was from the Lulu Tights I wore. And I was drinking more recreationally that year leading up to it

I’m been coming across a lot of these videos. My heart goes out to everyone. But i will say, this is an amazing thing to post your symptoms and stories on youtube. You guys could save somebody who has similar symptoms and isn’t getting the proper help from DR’s to find a diagnosis. I have had 2 swollen lymph nodes removed from my neck about 8 years, have dealt with itchy skin on and off for many years, and developed a horrible alcohol intolerance within the last few years. Now i’m wondering if i should get check out for this

@JCcreates927 18 дней назад

My hubby had an AVM in his brain (they can be anywhere in your body). He had surgery 28 yrs ago and he's doing fine. Just know yourself and if you have symptoms get help for them. My hubby also waited a few months for surgery he found out right before Thanksgiving and had his surgery in January.

I’m a long-time survivor of breast cancer. I don’t really understand survivor’s guilt. My surviving has nothing to do with anyone else’s survival or dying of their cancer. It’s not as if there’s a finite amount of people who can survive, and if I survive someone else won’t. And one’s loved ones and medical team WANT us to survive, so there’s no need for guilt. We’ve done nothing wrong. There are plenty of reasons for me to feel guilty about, but my still being here isn’t one of them. I hope you’ve stopped feeling guilty. And many people don’t ever get a cancer. Should they feel guilty that they haven’t gotten cancer?

@lauraoneal5146 4 дня назад

This has me super stressed now. I went to the dermatologist 5 DAYS AGO because I have had an itchy back for probably over a year. There has been no big diagnosis of eczema or psoriasis. So far my y drs have gone “Ehhh here let’s give you some Prednisone and some steroid cream and that should help it.” Well it hasn’t so far. I’m a nurse so I know what to do for eczema or contact dermatitis. I HAVE DONE ALL THE THINGS!! I’ve changed bath soap, laundry detergent, lotion, hair care products, clothing to 100% cotton and washed numerous times after purchase before wearing. I fave a stiff neck more days a week than not. I get yearly blood work that comes back normal. I got back to the dermatologist in 3 weeks and she said if no better after what she prescribed we may do a biopsy. Now I’m really nervous. Hopefully it is nothing but THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY!! If mine does turn out to be something you may save my life!! I hope you do well and stay in remission. Wishing you a long and healthy life ahead!!❤❤

Miranda thank you so much for sharing your story. Like you, I knew something was really wrong. I recorded my story with The Patient Story, so if you get the chance check it out. (Rachel Evans from the UK). I also had the same rash, also made worse with alcohol like you. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma in September 2022. How long was your hair when you got hair extensions? You have inspired me to look into it 🤔
