My Colorectal Cancer Symptoms: Kelly's Story | The Patient Story 

I'm so sorry for your loss.🙏

I am curious as to what the drug was called? Please share..

yeah, and there are tons of videos of different people all with the same story...

Happened to me before. Around the same time that happened to me, my son was diagnosed with leukemia and very long story short, it turned out he did not!!! 😮 Also, my husband was told he most likely had lung cancer. N he did not!!! Yep! Thats exactly what the DR said "you most likely have lung cancer" but the specialist he sent us to and the second opinion Drs said no, he did not have lung cancer. My uncle repeatedly was told that he had the flu. My aunt brought him home from the Dr for the 3rd time n she found him on the bathroom floor passed away the next morning. He had a pulmonary embolism. My aunt received a settlement for that one!

Doctors cannot agree to what I am sharing here with you today, because of what they are taught and what they must adhere to legally. People globally are curing their cancer sir. Using a protocol with de wormer and added supplements like mushroom, berberine, curcumin, Annatto, cimetidine, CBD oil, ...ya it has over 160 research papers on it. Many are now alive and cancer free...and all they want to do is shut down these groups and channels..sad very sad...Just check these out and SEE for yourself what people are saying and their different protocols. So many different cancers and end stage and terminal made a complete 100% turn around,. My gastro doctor was in shock last week, when I told him about this guy Kevin from Beating Cancer Today on FB group who cured 4 stage colon cancer, set home to die. His mouth dropped open and he got sad, he said, they don't want a cure, they will lose billions of dollars and he shook his head. So...have a look doc. The protocols work right along side with chemo and immunotherapy. Google joe tippins blog. On FB 3 groups, join them all, just to see and listen, ur mind will be blown. My Cancer Story Rocks (password is Mulligan)(over 40,000 members globally. ) Beating Cancer Today, (cured his colon cancer and since over 100 have had success with HIS protocol.) Next.....Febendazole Cancer Support Group....all these are FB groups with cancer testimonies. I am on that protocol for bladder cancer. People are coming out with shrunk tumors on scans and as they continue, many 100% cancer gone.

Can I ask which desease if you want to tell? It's like my story

omg you need to write a book

The sewer smell was it from gas? Or just a smell coming from your pores etc..?

Interesting, very informational. I'm looking at APR resection end colostomy , and removal of part of vagina, total hysterectomy. It's after chemotherapy & radiation treatments did not get the tumor, still active 😔 I'm not sure how many infections are ahead, radical surgery. Although though it shrank significantly it's active on PET scan. Quality of life, ostomy, urinary issues, and infections are troubling. I'm on zero medication & healthy despite treatments, so I am still processing not being this healthy, and a life long customer of medicine, and infections. It's a beast, and sexual dysfunction is an understatement as to women considering the surgery, and radiation, chemotherapy after effects of trying to treat this. I'm 57, just turned 58. I was hoping chemo radiation would have been remission. Your treatment was successful, and I pray 🙏 that good health, remission, and no tumor in your future. I've had 4 children, and am celibate for 7 years, and that has helped me, otherwise I'd be devastated for my husband, so that is a positive for me now.

Im sorry about your mom and sister 😢 I've had 5 relative/inlaws who've survived colon cancer. I have 8 relatives who are cancer survivors (5 colon, 1 skin, 1 one throat, and 1 breast) survivors.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

sorry about your mom and sister. I have 2 friends going through lung cancer now.

How are you now?

❤️

I hope you are doing ok. I have an extremely small family. So I know how it feels to have to do everything on my own without much help. I hope you are doing ok

@@ccalexander1924 thank you I’m doing good thank God I’m just happy to be alive

❤. You are in my thoughts.

Laura, thanks for your work in clinical research! -Stephanie

Uncaring, Laura Reynolds. On the other hand, some look at you, think you look good, so think nothing could possibly be wrong!

ICAM I know they know how cancer is starting younger than ever. smdh

Cancer depletes red blood cells. Usually, it will show up in your blood work. It won't tell them what kind of cancer, or even if you for sure have it. They may not even mention cancer to the patient and just schedule them for a Scan or colonoscopy and endoscopy to find out what is depleting the red blood cells.

Seriously?

The body easily adapts to minor blood loss so it might be true. Not always but you know

How bad was your bleeding, was it just on your poop or would you bleed without pooping?

Whats a colectomy?

Too many people all ages getting too much cancer these days.....hmmmm!

I pray and hope that your colonoscopy went well and that there is nothing wrong. 🙏🏻 Would love to hear an update on you.

Just seeing this now. Hope your colonoscopy went ok. I know what you mean by not feeling right. I am getting ready to get one and have the feeling somethings not right

Holy crap! Good for you for advocating for yourself. Sorry you had to. Best wishes!

I'm so glad that you advocated for yourself and had got heeled.

Did you have an ultrasound at any point?

​@amybelcher6908 I did not have an ultrasound. They did a CT scan, couldn't see my appendix on CT, saw fluid, told me it was a ruptured cyst and I would get better on my own. Went in a couple months later, another CT scan, no appendix in scan and fluid. Again another ruptured cyst, told me I should go on birth control. I went back in a day later in terrible pain. They did another CT and there was even more fluid. They knew there was no cyst because I'd just had a scan the day before. The fluid was coming from an unknown area. That's when the doctors began arguing over what to do. I was in the hospital on and off NPO for 3 days while they argued. Finally I told the doctor that wanted to do the surgery that he was the one I wanted to care for me and just find out what is going on. That's when they found the cancer. My appendix had been ruptured and open leaking into my abdomen for at least months since my first CT, which is why it wasn't visible.

Wow that is awful

You mean the cancer or the gaslighting happens more in women? For a serious illness, I would rather go see a woman Dr.. I feel men doctors don’t take me serious for some reason. Do they think all women are hypochondriacs? I sort of feel a woman is more in tune with her body. Since giving birth many years ago, I feel like I can connect my brain to internal parts of my body and “feel”.

I’m so sorry to hear of your family member passing. It’s a frightening disease and we all navigate through it the best we can.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your niece. She is a loss for our world, as well.

What do you mean she ignored the symptoms? What did she have? Sorry to hear that. So freaking young 😢

So sorry to hear that 💔

😢❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm sure your Mom is very happy for the career path you have chosen. Her bravery to go through the trial for the chemo port was an extremely important trial. I'm so sorry for your loss. You should feel proud to be a part of this company and life saving research they do. Why are we as the public, not hearing more about this drug? Was the drug you mentioned what this girl in the video was given?

@@lindalester9151 Thank you. AvastinI was approved in 2004 for colorectal cancer. Although not a cure, it was one of the first Biotech drugs to extend lives and improve the quality of life. I believe what this person rd River is s new class of Immunotherapy drugs that are achieving these kinds of remarkable results. As the Paul Simon song says “age of miracle and wonder”. Ironically, I suffer from Macular Degeneration, and receive a small dose of Avastin in my right eye every 6 weeks to keep my vision stsble.

@@lindalester9151 No, not the same. Googled it. Avastin is bevacizumab. This young lady received dostarlimab.

How olde are you🙏

Cancer is hard on the patient and the caregiver. You’re a good mom. Hope you’re doing well now. For me the passing of time has helped. I’m glad your son survived. Wishing you both the best life, this life has to give.

I am so sorry about your daughter. I lost my mom when she was 64. They all kept telling her she was bleeding due to menopause and she needed a hysterectomy. Her side hurt all the time and she would bleed heavily every two weeks. Her tumor was found off a cat scan by a regular doctor in the lining of her colon. It was the size of an orange. She was a very healthy person. She was loyal about getting those done and her previous colonoscopy was 4 months before. The doctor missed it. It was already too far gone in her liver and lymph nodes but she did the chemo. She passed away 3 months later. Now as I reflect on these stories my mom didn’t want to bother the doctors and stand firm now I blame myself for not letting me go with her because I loved her so very much and she never ever complained.

Can u please tell what’s ur symptoms were?

I loose weight if I reduce diet. If I do exercise of walk weight goes down very fast. I lost 8 kg in two months. If i don’t monitor my diet, my weight goes down 250 gm daily. If I take eonough food my weight donot loose.

She could have seen anyone. In America it is illegal to be turned away.

This is not an advanced country in regards to health care. If you think this country cares about your health, you are sadly mistaken.

​@misswinnie4.8 I have a relative that is 63 years old, in very poor health, and on Medicaid. The only way you can see a specialist is with a referral. Getting his PCP to refer him has been next to impossible. When you are poor, no one cares about your health care has been his experience. It's so very sad.

That's just not true. I have no money, and have been in the error and hospital twice recently. Youu do have to advocate for ur own Healthcare tho, whether u have insurance or not. If it's a long term illness u go on indigent care, which is medicaid, it's free

Couldn't agree more!

Did you have bleeding? Or did you find out before the rectal bleeding start

did you have bleeding on a regular basis? Constipation?

Yes I did have bleeding but they kept telling a lot of pregnant women have bleeding due to hemorrhoids. So when my daughter was 4 months, I went to my family doctor and he did a rectal exam. He sent me in for testing and that was when they diagnosed me with colon cancer.

❤😂

What did you have?

I don’t know where you live in Canada but they is not our experience. My sister passed away from this because her dr refused to give her a colonoscopy even though she had symptoms for 10 years! By the time she got one it had spread to her ovary. She fought for three years. Now even with a family history and having had a polyp my dr said a colonoscopy is recommended only every 10 years! Even when you show symptoms it takes 3 months to even get a specialist appt or longer. We live in Vancouver.

@@slowrunner40 I am so sorry for your loss, that’s terrible she was refused a colonoscopy on time. I lived in Toronto for the thirty years this applied. I even had one in the first few months of the pandemic. I guess not all provinces are the same. I’ve returned to my home province of Nova Scotia and we are painfully underserved by family physicians and the colonoscopy waitlist is around 9 months now. I hope you are able to get the tests you need and not wait 10 years!

USA is the richest 3rd world country

American taxpayers money goes everywhere in the world except its own citizens. Our healthcare system is overwhelmed by non citizens that don’t pay, it’s out of control what’s going on.

Oh please, you must be a Republican. Your contributions outside are a minuscule number of your GDP. Your healthcare is not overwhelmed by non-citizens, it’s overwhelmed by lobbyists of Big Pharma and Insurance companies that don’t want to see their grotesque profits affected by universal healthcare. @@aniello4633

Praying your colonoscopy/endoscopy went well and you got the answers you're looking for and that it isn't cancer! How are you doing? Did they find anything? Good for you for advocating for yourself!❤

Good luck and its great you are advocating for yourself.

How did your scopes come out ?

What did you find out after your colonoscopy? Hope you’re fine!!!

@alyssasawyer9429 What did you find out?

@@JanJan-jx9ty Thank you!

Thank you so much for watching! The trial Kelly was on is Dostarlimab. Here is Kelly's full story: www.thepatientstory.com/patient-stories/colorectal-cancer/kelly-s/

I've had some weirdness I would say the last 6 months. Been working with my fiber and all that. What I'm concerned about now is if it is early stages, does anyone ever catch it? I don't have insurance. I have a couple of the symptoms including the funny smell suddenly coming on. But I've got polyps or hemorrhoids or something showing up also. My aunt died of colon cancer because she never told anyone until she was too late to save. I'm tempted to contact the cancer center first and work my way backwards but without insurance is there any hope? $7,000 to $9,000 deductible plus a monthly premium was more than I could do. I'm 62 years old so I just figured I would deal with it if something happened. I have a chance it's nothing and I have a chance of living if I catch it early enough but without insurance who's going to listen to me? I have launched my 4 kids and all are living their lives with their families. I thought this was my time to Blossom. I will get out on the website but I would welcome any First Steps advice from anyone. Raising four kids over 40 years you have a lot of contact with medical issues Plus friends and church family. This is different and it's that knowing that something's not right that is so scary. I would love to get your favorite resource for my situation. Thanks for reading

@@HopeWins777 Please consider googling to see where there are free cancer screenings near you. In my state, there is a health center that treats patients without insurance, that provides preventative tests and then, if someone does need further care; they help them apply for free insurance. Have you ever applied for insurance under your state's Medicaid program? I know able bodied, working adults who qualify based on income. One of my friends thought that she wouldn't qualify, but she did. Maybe there is a program in your area that you would qualify for. You are also near the age that your local council on aging might be able to assist you. Sending you gentle hugs.

@@HopeWins777 First, so sorry to hear that you seem to be going through this alone. We have worked with great colorectal cancer groups like Imerman Angels who will match you to a mentor, someone whose been through a similar situation. Here is their info: imermanangels.org/ .. Hope that helps with a first step. -Stephanie
