Nicole's Hodgkin Lymphoma Story: "I Just Didn't Feel Right" | The Patient Story 

I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was 15. All the signs were there, we just didn’t realize the signs at the time. I’m 53 now & cancer free Praise God!

I had a chest exray from an allergy doctor 3 weeks before Christmas, and it showed I had a huge mass in my lung so big it was pushing out my rib. I went to my primary Dr, and she scheduled me for a pet scan. I lit up like a Christmas tree. I had over 150 masses, and 5 were in my heart. Couldn't get in with a cancer Dr. Because it was the holidays, so I was a walking dead woman for 2 weeks... unbelievable how your life changes.. I was 47 years old, but I felt fine except for the fact that I was dying young. So I had to drive 3 hours to a hospital to get a biopsy of my tumors it wasn't cancer guys. I had histoplasmosis, it was from bird feces, my husband was tilling up soil under blue spruce trees that were 100 years old, and I was inhaling that into my lungs. That was the first time I realized what a lottery winner feels like. For this young woman, I can feel your pain and worry. I really think you have what it takes to beat this. I will be praying for you 🙏

All doctors and specialists need to hear this. It shouldn’t be this hard to save our lives.

Our healthcare system is so broken. The amount of energy we have to put in to just get testing is absolutely mind boggling. People dealing with serious issues should not be under this amount of stress just to get a diagnosis. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Im a psychologist. What she’s describing is a « gut feeling » and « intuition » and it’s REAL and should be followed. Period.

I was misdiagnosed for over a year, because I was 19. When I finally burst into tears, & pleaded with the doctor to do SOMETHING, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Obviously, I survived, but I shouldn’t have been ignored.

Love this woman’s attitude. She is strong and such a spit fire. I pray she lives a long happy life❤❤

I am where you were. I have been feeling like something is wrong for 2 years. I have had scans and bloodwork and everything showed nothing. I have been so tired, I have had pain in my chest and neck but everything was always fine. Christmas I got really sick and I felt like I never recuperated. End of February I felt so sick I went to the ER. Double pneumonia! But something else showed up...lots of enlarged lymphnodes. Next was pet scan and they lit up on that scan. This may sound weird but I am so glad that people are finally listening! I have been feeling unwell for 2 years, can't sleep for 1 year because of night sweats and at 56 I am so tired of having everything blamed on Menopause.

Let’s protect this woman with everything we have!!! She is a GIFT to humanity ❤❤❤

I’m glad you pushed it! I beat breast cancer 13 years ago. Last year I thought I had colon cancer. Long story short, colonoscopy was clear but I still felt off. A month later I went in for my annual mammogram and they found it. Triple negative breast cancer. Bilateral mastectomy, chemo, all of it! That’s the first, I knew something was wrong. About a month ago I hit a deer on the highway. I had been complaining that the chemo port catheter was poking my heart, I couldn’t breathe, I was waking up gasping, well because of the deer and a trip to the hospital they found 2 pulmonary embolism. I’m glad the ER doctors listened to me. That deer saved my life! No one took me seriously! Self advocacy is a must! Prayers to you! You look like a fighter and you have your reasons! 💪🏽🌷

Be mean. Be difficult. Make people listen to you. You shouldn’t have had to coordinate all that either. I am so sorry you went through all this.

So disappointing to hear that it’s such a struggle to get a diagnosis. It shouldn’t have to be this hard. Thank you for sharing your story, and for teaching all of us how to self advocate. 🎉

My story is similar. Took over a year for the Drs to figure it out. I did not present straight forward. My mass in the chest was 9 inches wide. Drs could not feel anything either because the lymphoma grew inward. I had masses in my throat and chest that started choking me. The other masses spread through my body. I ended up with night sweats towards the end before my diagnosis. I had a hysterectomy in 2015 May, the 3rd day after, the rash you showed the picture of started on my arm and would come and go then it ended up all over my body by 2016 May. I felt like I was being bitten by fire ants and mosquitoes 24/7. I2 close to suicide because Drs specialist specialist could not figure it out. I could go on and on but you basically told the story. I'm disabled now because the chemo destroyed my body. I still have gratitude and lots of good and love that surrounds me. The check is over, I've been in remission for 5years but I cannot go out in the sun, I can Harley walk around the block when it's over cast, I have about 3 solid hours of energy a day then I'm done. I could not find anyone like me until this story. This has been a nightmare but I'll end with this, God showed up and had carried me when I couldn't. 🙏

I love your story and your attitude. I am a registered nurse and cancer survivor. I had the “advantage” of being older when I was diagnosed. I do believe that younger people are brushed aside too easily and told “you are too young”. That’s just not true anymore. 45+ years in nursing the one thing I learned is that if a patient told me they didn’t feel right that was my clue to watch them like a hawk. To look beyond the obvious. Especially when I worked ICU. All their numbers could be perfect and then after saying something is wrong, or I don’t feel right they would crash! People need to believe in their innate ability to understand their bodies and not be pushed around by the experts. Health care is no longer what it was when I first graduated in 1974. Now it’s all about protocols not about observation and using your brain to make care decisions. Today you input the information and the computer spits out a care plan… holy hell will ensue if you disagree with the “protocol”. I am so glad you spoke up for yourself! You were brave, self assertive and you trusted your instincts. Good on you! God bless you and just keep being strong❤️

It’s pretty sad that most of the time when cancer is caught it’s too late. The medical profession is being negligent about this.

What a sadly familiar story. It’s extremely traumatic, emotionally devastating, psychologically depleting, and overall isolating experience. Wishing you so much love and compassion.

Thank God you advocated for yourself!! We have to ALWAYS. My husband is a stage 4 cancer survivor (renal cell carcinoma). He’s been in remission for 6 years. I am the one that asks ALL THE QUESTIONS until I get the answers. Sending you lots of love and strength. ❤

It’s horrible that we can’t just get these blood tests for cancer without having to pay so much money for the tests. Most people I know could never afford to have the test.

Women experience such an incredible amount of medical gaslighting. It took me so many years to get my MS diagnosis for this exact reason. I was told my symptoms were being caused by my age (36 at the time) and because I was a mother. Many doctors claimed I was making up my symptoms or that I had a functional disorder. I'm so sorry it took you so long to get a diagnosis.

God bless you! My mother had lymphoma back in the mid 80’s. Then about 4 yrs later, the cancer came back as leukemia. She did not make it through that and passed away in 1990. I was only 23 at the time and it was devastating to me, bc she was my best friend! I know there are so many more treatments available now, that weren’t back then. I can’t help but feel if there’d been the medical advances back then, she would have made it through! She was a strong woman and a strong Christian, and she was the bravest person I’ve ever known! I pray for a complete healing for you, for good! Thank you so much for sharing your story! I think you’re so brave and amazing for standing up for yourself and what you knew was off within your body! I don’t believe anyone should have to go through what you did, in order to get help! You hear it said so much, that early detection in any type of illness or cancer,can be the key to a hopefully complete recovery, but the hoops people have to jump through just to get something done or covered by insurance, wastes too much precious time! God bless you and your family!🙏🏻❤️

This just randomly came up on my feed. You may have saved my life.

In 1985 at age 18 I was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s disease. Tumor by my heart. 3 months ABVD. Then my mom was like I don’t like this doctor. We changed doctors then did 6 months MOPP. Then 6 weeks of radiation. 2010 had a heart attack. Stent right coronary artery. 3 months later diagnosed with DCIS. Bilateral mastectomy. 2022 Basel cell carcinoma. Move last month stage 0 vulvar cancer. It’s crazy. Now I’m getting referred to an oncologist genetic testing. I’m not sure how much more my body can take. But I keep going.

My daughter had same🥲 it was a nightmare, but she survived thnx to her twin brother donating his stem cells❤️ I cried for 2 years but now she’s better than ever🙏 she has 2 sons. She’s now 44❤️❤️

Your story couldn't have resonated with me more! I'm a nurse and recently dubbed a cancer survivor (I used to say I was a cancer treatment survivor) and your medical diagnosis is nearly identical to mine. Good for you for advocating for yourself! I also didn't have any symptoms pointing to Hodgkin's, was the mother to 3 young children, and was pushing 40. Luckily I didn't experience the drawn-out process you had to endure to get a diagnosis; I had mild chest pain at work and "just didn't feel right," got whisked off to the ER and by the end of the day was told I probably had cancer when they found a mass 10cm by 8cm in my chest. It was very quick and shocking. Thank you for sharing your story. Hang in there and I'll be rooting for you!

What a vibrant woman and a gorgeous family. Well done for fighting for yourself and your family. Wishing you a lifetime of good health. 💗

I’ve been gaslit for the past 15 years or so 😢 now just undergoing work up for lymphoma. Thank you so much for the validation. I’ve beaten myself up for years for being lazy and tired all the time.

Thanks for sharing! I went thru exact same thing and cancer when I was 25& pregnant (had wait till baby born to start treatment) we are fighters!!

I feel all the pain everyone here has gone through. I have been seeing a hematologist since 2019 with what started as a fever for 10 days, then weight loss extreme fatigue , and a low white blood cell count. Sent me to a hematologist-oncologist and then covid started and put everything on hold. Here I am in 2023, now not only is my white blood cell count abnormal so is my hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cell count and failed a reticulocyte test for bone marrow. I still have not been diagnosed with anything I'm on a watch and wait as I watch myself slipping away. They suspect MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome but offer no treatment. I've halfway lost the fight and 100% trust in the medical industry as a whole. The system is absolutely broke and I'm at the point now to where I don't trust regular medicine. I will pray for each and everyone of you. God bless you all.

The fact that you had to jump through so many hoops and do so much of the leg work to get answers and start treatment is ridiculous to me. The medical system in this country really leaves a lot to be desired. (And that's putting it lightly). So glad you got what you needed and i applaud you for your tenacity and warrior spirit. God bless you in your journey. 🙏🏼

Oh my! What’s it gonna take for people to understand when you know your body, YOU KNOW YOUR BODY!!

Wow, please keep us posted…wishing you the very best on your journey to recovery 🙏❤️

I’m so glad you stuck with your gut instincts and pushed for all the tests. Thankyou so much for sharing your story. I’ll be praying for your quick recovery ❤

So full of life. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Hope you heal well. :)

Thank you! Thank you for sharing your story. But more importantly, thank you for the advice, " be your own advocate " I can't tell you how many times I start the journey of trying to find out why I feel as lousy as I feel only to give up because I get so frustrated with no answers . So watching you jas given me the strength to try one more time to try to figure out how to fix Me. I will continue to look for you and your journey and I will be thinking of you and your story ❤ Melissa 💕

This is so sad to me as a now retired US RN. It’s just a shame the awful conditions American Healthcare is in where patients are supposed to diagnose themselves? It’s a shambles.

Love her personality. And sending you prayers and healing ❤️‍🩹 🤍

Ty for great video and encouragement, ur strong and doing great !! Prayers for ur healing !! 🙏🙏

I was relieved to finally get diagnosed. For years I was gas lit and went through so much hell. By the time they diagnosed, the cancer had spread throughout my body. Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. It's been 8 years and I want to warn anyone having symptoms like a slightly elevated white cell count or weird rash, please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself 👏 Proud of you HL survivors 👏💚

You have a right, from day one, to know everything about what's going on with your health. I admire your bravery Nicole, because you are like informing people to always get checked and be demanding, when it comes to ones body. I hope you have a full recovery and many+ years to enjoy your life with your family. God bless you. 😊👍💛🌹🌹🙏

Ohhh boyyy am so proud of you lady for sharing your story..just listening to gives me strength to face my battle ahead...everyone is telling me it's menopause symptom you have anxiety it's panic attacks etc. But my body is telling me something is wrong.🤷🏾‍♀️

Nicole! Thank you for sharing your story.

Best of everything to you young lady! Love your outlook and enthusiasm and vigor! Keep it up!❤

I’m sorry for you’re experience for what you’re going through. Wishing you all the best.

Praying for a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much for sharing your life and diagnosis online. You are so strong and beautful! You have the most beautiful eyes. Sending ❤‍🩹

I relate so much to being relieved to have a diagnosis. It’s weird because you are grieving this new normal but also so greatful to FINALLY know why you have felt so bad for so long. You’re definitely not alone if you feel that way

Absolutely Love your personality& am so grateful you finally got answers(it should not take so long- many people died during covid-not from it- because they could not be seen) Praying for your complete recovery❤. I'm going through the LONG part where labs are even crazy. Tumor markers High..etc.(Insurance still won't pay for PET SCAN the doctors want 😮 MRI & CT scans etc. even endoscopy didn't show Chronic pancreatitis with atrophy & Cirrhosis. Splenomegaly. I have been getting worse doing test after test after test. I am drained from all the doctors that are suppose to help ,but even with proof that I need extra help they still do not want to pay for PET SCAN or dig deep. I have been feeling So bad(pain) for so long & it's like they don't really care(they do not) anymore what is wrong. As long as they can get $$$ for unnecessary procedures......So frustrating.

You're a real character ❤wishing you a long and happy life ✨️

For a year and a half I went from athlete to gained a lot of weight which was odd, panic attacks when sleeping, no stamina, felt mentally distant, couldn't speak well I would see the word but hard time saying it, legs swollen, barely could walk at all, needed a cane and I was ignored by my primary. Well in end of April this year I barely could breathe, center chest pain and ribs were swollen on left side. Went to the hospital, and the NP diagnosed me with extensive pulmonary embolisms at 36. Turns out bc of my autoimmune I have lupus anticoagulant blood disorder and with my two Injuries. I have 40+ pulmonary embolisms in my left lung and 12 in my right. They never seen someone live threw what I'm going through. They all couldn't believe it. My sheet will to fight and live that I did live. I was diagnosed 2 days before my son's 17th birthday. My boys were devastated. I told them boys I got this. I will do everything I need too. My oldest son did a report bc school asked him to right about your hero. He told them my autoimmune story all the near death and even pulmonary embolisms journey and was awarded for his story. My autoimmune doctor saw me after being diagnosed and hugged me and said your such a bad ass lol. He was like your still fricken happy and positive. I said God gave me a chance to live. All my major city doctors said they researched and said only during autopsy they find what is wrong. They said you have dozensssss of blood clots and you go to the gym work hard and push to heal. They told me that will take over a year or so for blood clots to be absorbed into the body again. They said working out helps blood flow. So now I go to the gym 6 days a week. Push hard and I'm just so grateful I got to be alive. My doctors are trying to figure out if anyone lived from as many as I had. They all said nope. I'm the first world wide to have 60+ blood clots total and didn't need surgery and still doing 15,000 steps a day gym said teen boys and never gave up. He said hold your head high! And keep being the fighter. I still have the clots was 2-3 months ago and I thank God and my grandma who passed away for saving my life. Anything is possible just don't give up❤❤

You are so funny. I'm so sorry you have to go thru this. The way you put humor into your story cracks me up. Seriously I wish you all the best. Sending you love and prayers.

I was in Thailand, and I had a full medical exam, and they found colorectal Cancer. I was only stage one. I know if I have been stateside I probably would not have tested as early as I did thank goodness it was easy to get tested in Thailand. I brought my results back to the US for treatment.

Wow. How hard you had to work to get a diagnois! God bless you, thank you for sharing & I am Sending you healing thoughts and prayers

This woman is amazing ❤ Wishing her the best. 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing your story!!❤

Thank you for posting this. It is so helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to make this. I related to everything you said.

Praying for you and your family 🙏❤️

I didn't eat for 3 days, on a lazy boy, decided I was going to die, called an ambulance, made a dramatic entrance, fell asleep in the treatment room, developed symptoms, 106 fever, admitted, crashed, run down to the ICU, sepsis. sent home 4 day later. I can't imagine the stress knowing you're dying, and no one does anything for so long.

I wish you ALL the best. You are so strong and insightful….you look so good too! Your attitude is amazing and you have a beautiful family:)

You’re the second cancer person video I watched today who didn’t show classic cancer symptoms until after a virus. Then it all came through. Praying for you.

I am a nurse and also someone who has suffered from a life threatening chronic illness. I understand how hard it is to get specialists to listen, to get the tests you need, the road blocks in your way and how the system just does not gel and how hard it is to navigate. I would really love to advocate people like yourself through the diagnostic mind field. It’s something that is lacking and people just do not know how or why to navigate this hell hole. Be mean, don’t apologies this system is so horrible. It is a very lonely journey and scary too. Thank you for sharing your struggles to get the diagnoses this will help others to understand what their experience may be like, everything is so backward and the double and triple handling of different imaging, testing is just wrong. Why not just do a full body pet/ct scan right at the start? Stupid! I’m So so sorry you have had to go through all of this dear xx

I had stage 3 leiomyosarcoma I have had 29 surgeries along with bladder removal. Now I’m having severe body aches night sweats horrible rash upper arms and I can’t get anyone to listen. I feel like my body is giving out. Finally got me set up to go to UT cancer center Monday. I originally go to Duke. The struggle and fatigue is real and depression. I was 38 weeks pregnant when I found out I had cancer before and that was scary for the fact I wanted to raise my baby. Fast forward 10 years they just look for sarcoma and I’m screaming over here something else is wrong. My lymph nodes are enlarged in upper chest my grandmother had non Hodgkins lymphoma. I’m so tired of the medical. So tired of being tired. I have a 12 year old and struggle to even get out of house to do fun things. I love your attitude.

I’m had a very similar story. After having my 3rd child, I didn’t bounce back. My doctor said I had 3 kids under the age of 4 & was supposed to be tired. When it didn’t improve, he prescribed Prozac saying I had postpartum depression. Soon after I developed a very itchy rash & a relentless dry cough. Derm did a biopsy that showed “non-specific inflammation.” After 3 months of a cough that never responded to medications, he never ordered a chest X-ray. In the middle of the night I couldn’t stop coughing & drove myself to the ER. A chest X-ray was done immediately which showed 2 bake potato size tumors in my mediastinum. Bloodwork, scans, biopsy showed Hodgkin’s disease, stage 2B. After the diagnosis I was actually relieved that I finally found what’s wrong & I wasn’t crazy! I had surgery/chemo/radiation & have been in remission. I changed doctors & luckily, she follows up w/ every new symptom I experience. Maybe too careful, but with my history, she wants me to feel confident. Sorry you had to go on this journey & I wish you the best!

I'm really sick right now and trying to figure it all out. Thank you for sharing your story

Unreal! I’m so sorry!

I am going thru this very same thing. I also have had Hypothyroidism with Hashimotos and have for 20 years. But now, I've had severe bone pain in my long bones (none in the joints) labs come back good. I've had 3 episodes of a lot of blood in the urine and still labs are good. Just had a nuclear bone scan that marked a hot spot in the 6th or 7th anterolateral rib, next had a CT and it showed a fractured rib (no injury, never felt it either) also showed a 13x21 mm enlarged lymphnode in the right Hilar Mediastium. I am a medical professional and know things BUT still can't get things rolling ect. I've been chasing this for 3 years and have only gotten this far. I am so glad that I found this video. Thank you!! I need your neighbor! Like you, no fever or night sweats but I feel exhausted 24/7 my bones hurt and massive headaches. No palpable lymphs. I hate to say it, even admit it, but our healthcare system is so broken.

Good luck Nicole and God bless. I'm hopefully all clear of Uterine Cancer. I had to go Private to get the timely medical help I needed in the UK. Wishing you all the very best. ❤

I'd love to hear how the functional doc helped you with your thyroid. Thanks for sharing your story. Sending so much healing light ✨️💖

Beautiful woman God bless you …..I am sooo sorry you going through so much …

I hear you. You are going to get through this, I can tell. Your mindset is the most important thing, you need to believe one thousand percent that you’re gonna be ok and that will happen. Believe me, I ve been there. Go girl you can do this, keep positive , I m thinking about you

Thank you for sharing your story. Sending you a big healing hug

Excellent helpful video. Thank you so much and God bless you and keep you safe and healthy 🙏 ❤️

Thank you Nicole.

I swear - every one of these stories I listen to, just makes me even more grateful for my PCP. She really listens. She'll order the necessary tests, and if she doesn't feel qualified to handle something, she'll send me to a specialist. I've had quite a few big things come up over the recent years - cancer, endometriosis (which doctors ignored for 30 years), an unexplained debilitating abdominal pain that went on for 2 solid years, etc. It has never been a struggle to see and talk with her. I've been so thankful for her anyway, but these videos just make me even more so.

Thank you like I can't thank you enough. I'm a healthcare provider of 27 years and they won't listen to me. 6 months in doctoring and not much progress. A hematologist turned me away because my blood work was not bad enough. Major symptoms 1.5 years. Last year an infectious disease doctor did mention Hodgkins, but I didn't have insurance to run his $20K worth of tests. I ordered the Galleri test today. You may have just saved my life. I cannot thank you enough. God bless you.

I so feel for you! I was misdiagnosed 5 1/2yrs to find i was stage 4 NHL. Im so grateful for my team now & remission coming up on 13 years!! Prayers for your full recovery & getting the care you deserve🙏💕🙏

Nicole, you’re not alone. Thank you for sharing your story. I too have unexplainable experiences that I’m left alone (no help from doctors) to try and figure out myself. The health care system can be difficult to navigate when you don’t have textbook symptoms. I’m wishing you the best! You’re a beautiful being inside and out.

Thank you for sharing your story. It is crazy that we have to fight not only for our health but more so that we have to go to war with the system to be cared for medically. You are amazing ❤

You are an amazing lady, keep up the good fight! ❤

You are my hero. I want your attitude.

Wishing you well 🙏🙏🙏 thank you for sharing!!

I can relate vertelt well! Thank for sharing !

I've been battling Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma for 16 years. I can relate to this woman's journey.

Health, healing and long life to you.

Your amazing and love you sharing the journey. Advocating for yourself is difficult and the medical world is so complex, but so glad you did! Sending love your way! You got this! Can’t wait to have wine and cheese with you again.

I had a similar story!! I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin lymphoma 2017 at age 45 and had a chemo treatment out of 6 they wanted to treat me with. Before my 2nd scheduled treatment I went on a cleansing regime, lots of prayer and refused anymore treatments and gave my body a chance. I figured after 3 years that it was an infected tooth that I refused to remove as it was in my front teeth and after removal and then first chemo session the blood work was back to normal. I know it was that tooth and my body so unhealthy that caused it. I’m so happy I took my life into my own hands and did not trust that system. I’m going into 6 years and still no issues.

You amaze me!! Good luck and God bless you.

So relatable! God bless you!♥️

This really touched me and brought tears to my eyes because I am just starting the journey of trying to get answers and having suspicions. Ive had loved ones and doctors that thought I overreacted. I lost my job because i had to go to an ER (i also had an infection and came very close to sepsis) and had missed too many days being sick and clearly the brain fog at work wasnt helping or the pain. Even my dang car broke down when I was trying to go to doctors and had been misdiagnosed for over a month (still ongoing) and we have had huge bills rolling in. Feeling alone, worrying about my child because Im the sole custodial parent, worrying about the debt ontop of not being listened to. It will just knock you to your knees. Theres no feeling like this. But to have another beautiful, intelligent, self advocating and educated mother that is saying she got brushed off too, brings me comfort in knowing that sometimes we do just know when we dont feel right and sometimes we do have to wait even when we dont want to- but we are on the right track. It just brings me peace to know im on the right path. Im only 25.

I can totally relate. I had Acute Myeloid Leukemia and I now have donor derived Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. The medical system is so broken. You 💯 percent have to be your own advocate if you’re going to have a chance at surviving. It also helps if you always have someone that cares about you there at Drs visits and hospital stays. They caught my leukemia through bloodwork. Like you, I also knew there was something wrong. I was extremely tired. My friends also said well, you’re a single mom working a full time job. Always trust yourself and your gut. ❤

I had a full on Pet Scan head to pelvis and still was misdiagnosed…it is a complete struggle to get a diagnosis. Healthcare is broken and doesn’t lean into what a person is feeling and knowing in their gut that something is wrong.

It is horrible the bs hoops you had to jump through and all the legwork you had to do. That is insane I hope you have a full fast recovery ❤️

Yes Nicole your vibe is really cool and I feel like I’m listening to myself when you were telling your story. I know I have to be assertive, advocate for myself, keep medical journal to better (hopefully) describe my symptoms and detect any patterns. I’m a teacher and have missed a lot of work because of this whatever this is.

You’re a warrior hero !!!!

What a great interview! So much good info. Thank you. Wish you the best.

I am praying for you. I have been through something similar. I felt terrible for 2 years and finally found out I had H-Pylori. I felt so sick from the bacteria in my stomach. I was told I had anxiety and my cbc was normal. I had low potassium like a drug user and my food wasn't processing correctly. I felt like I was dying from the inside out basically rotting. I met Dale Wicker and he knew what was wrong. I was having muscle spasms and shakes and vision problems. It was absolutely terrible no energy and just terrible smelling breath. I had breakouts in my hair line and my wounds wouldn't heal like normal. It's scary being put on medication they say you're fine. I went to 6 doctors not counting the ER doctors. God bless everyone who is going through something like this. Keep pushing and go to other doctors if you know in your gut it's not what the doctors are saying. I went as far to leave my 3 year old daughter a letter in case I died before they figured it out. It's scary because honestly some doctors like she said only know what they know. Thank God for Doctors that truly listen to their patients. 🙏

I love her and her energy.

Thanks for sharing Great information It will help many of us And,yes we have to advocate for ourselves Warm Hugs 🤗

Thanks for sharing your story.

Thank you for sharing and most of all FIGHTING!!! I am in remission from breast cancer. It's been 2 years a n d I have found all the places breast cancer ca n spread to. So I'm going to talk to my doctor about this.

I wish the best for you and your family. You're a strong person & you're going to beat this. Don't loose hope and keep your faith. Go to church and pray daily.
