I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Justine didn’t win her battle with cancer. She was our neighbor and was just as nice and sweet as she seems in this video. She passed away about a year and a half ago. Her parents and sister were by her side when she died. My heart goes out to them having to live with this painful loss. I know she was loved by many. Rest In Peace Justine. 💔🙏🙏🙏
I believe you I am 71 years old and if this happens to me I’m just going to live my best life till it ends me. No treatment at this age is worth it. This will just be my book of life. No colonoscopy for me at this age ❤
Sorry to hear she passed away. To give some hope to people I was diagnosed with stage 3c rectal sigmoid cancer and have been cancer free for four years. It was kind of her to share her story. Apparently after she was originally diagnosed with stage 3b rectal cancer, it was discovered the cancer had spread to her liver. So that’s technically stage 4 which only has a 15% 5 year survival rate.
Anyone that get's cancer is never cancer free. You don't "beat" cancer. It's just silly feel-good language that people use. All it means is for the time being the detectable levels of cancer cells in the body is at a clinical level that's not significant but it's always there and ready to spread again. It's a matter of when not if you will die from cancer.
My father was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1996. He had quit smoking 10 years before he was diagnosed with it. It's kind of ironic how they found out because he went hunting on a Friday, he didn't go to work on that Monday. He was stung 57 times by ground bees. Thats how he found out and in February 17th 1997 he passed away from brain cancer. They took half of his left lung they thought they got it all, they didn't so it traveled to the base of his head and neck on the cerebellum. He fought so hard. This BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IS A HERO,FOR TELLING HER STORY THANK U
What a brave woman. This could happen to anyone of us, regardless of our diet. Many prayers to this woman, for her strength and ability to give us all information about her intense struggle. Her life will never be the same.
Justine, thanks for sharing your story. I was diagnosed with Stage 3C rectal cancer in September 2019. I did 6 months of chemo, then 6 weeks of chemo radiation, then surgery. I had a temporary ileostomy for 9 months. While not having to manage a stoma has certain advantages, I do think there can be advantages to having a permanent stoma. On a daily basis, I spend several hours in the afternoon having urgent needs to empty my bowels. Half of my rectum was removed, which eliminates the ability to store stool. So when I have to go to the bathroom, it’s pretty much always an urgent need. And it can be 5 or 6 times over several hours. I take Imodium every day in an attempt to have some control. A stoma is much more predictable, though with its own unique challenges. I wouldn’t necessarily say one is better than the other. But having lived with an ileostomy for 9 months, I do feel it offers a somewhat higher quality of life due to a more predictable daily routine compared to what I currently experience. Either way, what each of us has gone through is difficult and challenging. I enjoy your positive attitude and motivation to keep pushing forward. I hope you have great success with your liver treatment. Thanks for taking the time to tell your story.
I 've gone through the same diagnoses and treatment as you, My ileostomy was removed in januari 2019 . Still to this day , it is difficult to take control over my bowel movements to. It also depends much on what I eat. No nuts, no pasta and much more things that I cannot eat, or I know the next day, in the late afternoon, I have to start going to the toilet 6 times or more, for the rest of the evening. I also take some diarrhia stoppers at times, when it is several days very loose stools. I also eat much less, so I have less urge to go to the toilet. To live with this for the rest of my life makes me sometimes sad. I'm afraid of going on a trip for a few days with my kids, because if in the evenings it's like this, a trip is becoming something I really don't like anymore. But we have to thankfull that we survived this desease, and the girl in this video , her story is worse, cos till now, I have no metastatics found in my lungs or liver, I get a check-up every 6 months. I feel for you too, cos I know what you are going through. I wish you the best for the future!
@@ineshadr9070 I’m happy that you’ve had a successful treatment. I think it’s rare for people who have been treated for advanced cancers to live a totally normal life after their treatments have finished. There are many scars, physical and emotional, some of which will be with us until the end. It’s nice to hear from other colorectal cancer patients who experience some of the same challenges as I do. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone. Good health to you!
Thank you for your story. I’ve had breast cancer and nine months of treatment. I’m in remission 20 years and thankful for the time I’ve been given. As a breast cancer survivor, I know recurrence is always possible. We never get cured. I had a friend with recurrence past her 20 year mark. I pray you stay healthy and well for a very long time. Keep kicking cancer’s butt. And, yes, keep doing what you love every chance you have. All best wishes.
Please read my comment. If he is alive and the tumor lost DNA stability and markers that are targeted by chemo, he needs Fenbendazole ASAP!!! See "Anti-cancer effects of fenbendazole on 5-fluorouracil-resistant colorectal cancer cells".
Just recovering from Colon Cancer operation. Always be there for people who have cancer. It’s an emotional rollercoaster and people need your support. You are a beautiful, strong lady. You have my deep admiration. Not sure what Stage I’m at. Get a colonoscopy NOW. You don’t always have symptoms.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed Christmas day 23, stage 4 mastatized colorectal. I've had two treatments so far, had to skip my last one due to moving to California. I also went to OHSU, Dr Mayo is amazing. I wish I could have stayed to get my treatment in Oregon but had to move in with my son due to my rapid decline. Every ordinary daytime thing is getting harder to do by the day. I'm 59, and this was my first colonoscopy. I knew something was up, since I too, went to the bathroom non stop throughout the day, with pretty much just blood, and not much else. I wish I would have listened to the signs earlier, but my job was my life, as a med tech at a retirement home. I loved my patients and knew once I get checked, I'd be forced to accept my while world completely changing, including having to leave my job. It definitely changes everything, but I also know God is in control. I wish you well on your journey. We got this, no matter what! ❤
Well, that was a lot to take. She was put through king size ringer and came out the other end looking good. Her mental capacity to deal with bad news and endless treatments is otherworldly. Here's to a long joyful life
Im so sorry to hear that Justine is no longer with us! Thanks for sharing her video & challenging experiences with us all. God bless & may she R.I.P now. 🙏🙏❤
Thank you Justine for sharing your cancer journey with us! Your story will be helpful to many people going through a colon cancer diagnosis. May God bless you!
You have been through so much, but there is no whining or "why me". I wish you well for the future because a fabulous human being like you deserves a great future. Stay strong.💪❤️
God bless her and keep her. So sorry to hear she had to go through all of this suffering and pass away. Why do such things happen. Cancer is a horrible disease.
This vlog is heartbreaking and yet inspiring. My sister has been fighting a different form of this disease for 3 years, all of this sounds familiar. Thank you so much for sharing this.
You are a terrific person. I'll bet the medical staff really appreciates you. So realistic and practical. And thank you for sharing those details about the bag and so on. Never really understood what that entailed. I wish you the very best in a long life and happiness. You are a great teacher.
As a very active person when you said, you have always been active & only being 32 it’s difficult not being able to do what I used to do-& getting used to the bag. It really hit home & made me cry. Taking away your abilities when it’s something you have always really enjoyed is super tough & you’re right you have to give yourself grace & you have no alternative. It’s just so upsetting to see you so young & fit going thru this BS-living with this. But I’m not trying to be a downer. I truly wish you well; you seem like you have a great support system, excellent care & and a great attitude. Thank you for sharing the part about shielding for those of us watching that don’t that cancer but have friends & family going through this. It helps to get that insight so we can be a better support to them. Wishing you love & wellness❤❤❤
I’m so glad you had access for chemo with a port- yes the side effects are more intense but the efficacy for treatment and survival is higher with the infusion . I had a similar journey but my chemo was in a Fanny pack for 24/7 infusion. ❤
You are a hero that sharing your story & setting the bar so high for bravery will help others but also yourself. The power of believing in yourself & faith in God can be the best medicine. I believe in YOU!
This is so sad and scary. Rip strong one. I am finishing up my prep as we speak for my colonoscopy tomorrow. I have had bad stomach issues forever. Diagnosed with IBS and GERD. what made them want to do a colonoscopy was the fact that my hemoglobin, Iron, and saturation levels are extremely low. They want to make sure and hope that the levels are due to heavy periods. Prayers for all you going through this as well. ❤
You are beautiful in every way Justine! Your level of strength is incredible. I know you’ll rise up and fight for every year to come. Bless your kind heart. ❤️
So so sorry❤ lost my uncle to this. He kept it secret until he had to tell us. He waited too long and it took him 3 years later. Was clear for that long. You’re a strong lady. So great telling us. I am supposed to be scoped once a year. It’s been 13 years. I’m calling to get in. I have some blood. The stool test I mailed in was negative for blood. Bless you🙏🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️🌹
Thank you for sharing your story! My sister went through a similar experience and I am thankful they have treatments for this awful Cancer! I hope you heal and continue to lead a long healthy life. 🤗
I had discomfort and pain in my left side. Motions were regular. Had a colonoscopy and it was diverticulitis. Get any symptoms checked, but there are other things that cause stomach symptoms. Just don't delay getting it checked.
I have that too..well doc says it's diverticulosis until infected then it's diverticulitis..coloniscopy doc said its been believed it was from eating seeds and or nuts but he said any food can do it
You are one tremendously brave young woman. God has a plan for you. Just trust it. I was diagnosed with 2 kinds of cancer a month apart in 2023. I had stage 4 irradiated, cervical and then stage 2 breast cancer. You are a blessing to many, many people. May you be cancer free for a long, long time. I admire you.
You look great! You don't look ill at all. Pray you can kick this devastating illness. My friend diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer had same chemo with sensitivity to cold. She said it was like electric shocks. She lasted 1 year. 😢
I hope your journey gets better with a wonderful outlook. You've had just about had the worst outcome so far. I pray things get better for you. I found I had Stage 3 Kidney cancer and they give me a 53% chance to survive 5 years. It's will be 2 years in May and so far no new cancer has been found. I know that can change but so far my journey has been so easy compared to yours. My wife and I live near Portland. If you ever want to talk or need anything while you're getting treatment at OHSU please reach out to me. Prayers Rick
What happened during surgery that caused them to think you might not come out? And what caused the ileostomy to be permanent from the first plan for it to be temporary? So many questions. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
It's a small part of Justine's story, but don't be put off by the colonoscopy process. People make it out to be so difficult, but it's laughably easy. You stop eating. You drink a large amount of prepared liquid every 15 minutes. You poop a lot. You go in, get sedated, and wake up. That's it. I've been pooping most of my adult life. It's easy. Don't let overwrought stories about colonoscopy keep you from doing the right thing.
Had a friend that died from a colonoscopy...they perforated her colon,she got sepsis and died.. But the good news was she didn't have cancer...she would be alive today if she had not had thar test so I will pass...plus it's very painful for alot of people
@@vickieyoung7122 Sorry about your friend, but I hope you're not advising people to NOT get a colonoscopy. For every one that dies from the procedure, thousands are saved. Get'er done.
Good luck, just so you know that it isn’t always scary stuff. I had diarrhoea for years, and then when I got pregnant it just stopped and went back to normal. So although I didn’t have any tests at the time, it can’t have been anything too awful as I had my daughter 13 years ago. I think it was a combination of diet and stress, I don’t think it could have been anything else but it was a nightmare really and spent years only going where I knew there were loos as I wouldn’t have much time to get to one.
So young. I had treatment for anal cancer . The radiation wrecked my bowels . Lots of scar tissue . My colorectal doctor warns me that at some point for functionality sake will need a colostomy . I am 63 and have been cancer free for 4 years now. I hope to never get a bag but who knows ? All you can do is say a prayer and trust in God .
exact same thing happened to me. i have the same scar but my bag was up high left side. i did 14 rounds of chemo. my surgen said it was caused by dangerous fast food . right side hereditary left side dietary.
@@thelifetimesofarobotdog1122 there was an obituary somewhere and even a post on here by a relative or friend I think. Unfortunately some of these were filmed several years ago so for people that were in dire situations a few of them probably have passed.

So she died a year ago but she was somehow able to release this video 3 days ago? How exactly does that work?

Rest in peace, my heart broke when I got the news which she passed away. I'm so sorry, what a beautiful woman, be with angels😢

Thankyou for telling your story. Sending love xxxooo
Sending prayers and love. 🙏🏻❤️
It's a small part of Justine's story, but don't be put off by the colonoscopy process. People make it out to be so difficult, but it's laughably easy. You stop eating. You drink a large amount of prepared liquid every 15 minutes. You poop a lot. You go in, get sedated, and wake up. That's it.
I've been pooping most of my adult life. It's easy. Don't let overwrought stories about colonoscopy keep you from doing the right thing.
Yeah but that prep is nasty...you would think by now they could come up with something better. I had mine in Dec...so important!
Had a friend that died from a colonoscopy...they perforated her colon,she got sepsis and died..
But the good news was she didn't have cancer...she would be alive today if she had not had thar test so I will pass...plus it's very painful for alot of people
@@vickieyoung7122 Sorry about your friend, but I hope you're not advising people to NOT get a colonoscopy. For every one that dies from the procedure, thousands are saved. Get'er done.
Best wishes Justine from Cornwall UK. Beautiful eyes!
She passed away.
Thank you So much for your video!!!❤ You are So Strong! GOD Bless You
my relative was just diagnosed with colon cancer. I researched 2 new therapies: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES & GENE EDITING (Crisp Therapeutics). promising.
prayers for you.
I hope she is still with us
Bless you honey
My daughter was just diagnosed with rectal cancer and will soon start the chemo pill and radiation
God Bless you. Onward and upward.❤
I have had diarrhea for almost 3 months. Going in for a colonoscopy next week. No blood in my stool. I am worried 😟
I hope your doing ok
Good luck, just so you know that it isn’t always scary stuff. I had diarrhoea for years, and then when I got pregnant it just stopped and went back to normal. So although I didn’t have any tests at the time, it can’t have been anything too awful as I had my daughter 13 years ago. I think it was a combination of diet and stress, I don’t think it could have been anything else but it was a nightmare really and spent years only going where I knew there were loos as I wouldn’t have much time to get to one.
Might be bile acid malabsorption
Is your stool dark? Because that can be blood with the stool.
I agree go to another doctor. I just did that with my Physician,some act like they dont care,when you have concerns
Hey Justine. I will be praying all the way for you. I’m deaf and used ASL. By the way how did you learn a sign language?????❤️🙏🏻❤️🤟🏻❤️🤟🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Thank you for sharing.
I won't leave debt for my family. Many people with a low retirement income but who do not qualify for medicaid feel the same way.
So young. I had treatment for anal cancer . The radiation wrecked my bowels . Lots of scar tissue . My colorectal doctor warns me that at some point for functionality sake will need a colostomy . I am 63 and have been cancer free for 4 years now. I hope to never get a bag but who knows ? All you can do is say a prayer and trust in God .
exact same thing happened to me. i have the same scar but my bag was up high left side. i did 14 rounds of chemo. my surgen said it was caused by dangerous fast food . right side hereditary left side dietary.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Always Remember You Are LOVED..
i wish you well thanks for the share
So sad knowing she didn't survive this. Hope the end was peaceful for her.
How do you know she didn’t survive? I can’t find anything about that…
@@thelifetimesofarobotdog1122 there was an obituary somewhere and even a post on here by a relative or friend I think. Unfortunately some of these were filmed several years ago so for people that were in dire situations a few of them probably have passed.

Cancer would be first on my mind.
