They Dismissed My Cancer Symptoms For Anxiety - Courtney | Follicular Lymphoma | The Patient Story

Video Description

At just 31 years old, Courtney Liniewski started experiencing unexplained symptoms—back pain, sinus issues, hearing loss, and eventually, difficulty breathing. When she went to the ER after experiencing stroke-like symptoms, doctors diagnosed her with a complicated migraine and a panic attack. But as her symptoms worsened, she realized something was deeply wrong. A month later, while on a trip to Mexico, she noticed a swollen lymph node in her neck, a discovery that would change her life forever. In this cancer vlog, Courtney shares her journey from misdiagnosis to finally learning she had Grade 3B Follicular Lymphoma, a rare and aggressive cancer typically diagnosed in much older adults. She opens up about chemotherapy side effects, the lack of support for young adults with cancer, and the importance of self-advocacy and early detection.
