In this cancer vlog, Samantha F. talks about her frustrating journey of getting diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after months of vague symptoms being dismissed by doctors.

She shares how her first symptoms started with chest pain and she thought it was heart-related but tests came back normal. As time went on, she started getting back pain, neck lumps, fatigue and night sweats. Samantha kept being told it was likely nothing serious, despite advocating for herself.

After months of unexplained symptoms, her face one day became swollen and she finally received testing that revealed Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Samantha stresses the importance of listening to your body and pushing for answers if you feel something is wrong. She also shares details of her chemotherapy, immunotherapy treatment, and struggle with hair loss and how after a recurrence, Samantha is now gratefully in remission.
