At the hospital, she underwent a series of tests. On May 30, 2023, Krystal Maeyke was diagnosed with metastatic bowel cancer .
In the same video, Maeyke shared: “I underwent a series of tests. That’s when I realized it was something serious. I was woken up later that night by a doctor whose words I will never forget.”
“Krystal, I have bad news… You have cancer,” she recalls the doctor telling her. “The weight of those words, coupled with my question, ‘How do you know?’ and the doctor’s response, ‘It’s everywhere,’” shocked me. According to the Cleveland Clinic, stage 4 is characterized by the fact that the cancer has spread to other “distant” parts of the body from where it started. At this stage, it’s considered metastatic, or advanced cancer.
Maeyke also said that before her diagnosis, she had been experiencing night sweats for months, which she “ignored.”
“I had been dealing with persistent night sweats for a few months before my diagnosis. I would wake up during the night soaked in sweat, so much so that I had to change my clothes and sheets.” She described how “some nights it would happen several times.”
“It was summer and I was sleeping with the air conditioner on and a fan on, so I thought it was my air conditioner that wasn’t good enough for the summer heat. So I ignored this sign,” the mother said.
