My Ovarian Cancer Story at age 22 during COVID-19
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2020
- I'm a 22 year old girl with an extremely rare form of ovarian cancer - germ cell tumor, immature teratoma, grade 3, stage 1A. I'm an anomaly, but am yet another womxn that was in pain and normalized it. I am sharing my story to help other womxn gain the courage to get the doctors to listen. We should not have to live in pain.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Truly horrendous bedside manner. And when you were asking about the imaging and what it showed, there WAS a doctor there who could have told you. And to be diagnosed with a cyst like that over the phone and not make the ultrasound a priority shows how apathetic doctors have become lately. You are such a bright, well spoken young lady and I wish you the very best. The world of social work needs more people like you.
Did they diagnoze u from the ultrasound ?wht cycts did u have
They want to relieve her Bec they know she must be thinking is it cancer etc.
Catherine i to had ovarian cancer i was 24 i an 67 now i have been cancer free ever scents
So very happy 😊😊😊😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼to hear stay well and safe.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
PRAISE THE LORD 🙌🏼🙏💖
Great!
@Layan Izzeddin God doesn't get credit? We humans play a small part.
@Layan Izzeddin I agree but,we should be thanking God..humans can only do so much for one another.
I had a malignant teratoma at the age of 22 also. I had chemotherapy and surgery and now I’m 56 with two grown children. Best of luck to you. You got this❤️
Hello how are you doing 😊☺️☺️☺️
Hi i have teratoma 3 cm benign,im stress now cause its inflamed my ovary now
Dear madam please tell which stage cancer .my lovely wife had 3c stage I think she long with me
Overy cancer
Thank you for your story. Advocating for yourself as a patient is so important as you have shown.
Thank you so much!!
30 years ago this was me I couldn’t have anymore children 😢 but I was blessed to have my son 💙 there is hope 💕💞
Thank you for sharing that little bit of hope with me!
So you've been cancer free for 30years? My friend had an ovarian cancer at the age of 19. I hope for your reply. I wish I could encourage her through this. Thank you.Godbless
@@markkennethmayo9273 that good that you have a son I'm very sorry about that Mark Kenneth you are going to be fine
i've heard way too many stories of women getting their health issues brushed off then months or years later they find out its cancer and it's usually terminal at that point. when really if the doctor took them serious they could've treated it when it still wasn't as bad. its terrible and the doctors should be held accountable
I know this was posted 8 mo's ago and I am hoping things are going well for everyone that has gotten this diagnosis. When my daughter was 33, she was diagnosed with clear cell OVCA. Her Doctor brushed it off originally as an ovarian cyst. She insisted that it was something different.. so just as you said..you have to be your own advocate and be persistent with these doctors. My daughter had to have her chemo first,then a total hysterectomy. I am proud to say that after almost 20 years later she remains cancer free. She went back to college..obtained her master's and is a science teacher. Oh and she was also a single parent back then with 3 small kids. I hope for the best for anyone with this nasty disease and that all of you are kicking cancers ass like my daughter. I am forever thankful.
She was a stage what?
@@monicag6715 I'm not sure what stage..sorry. she had clear cell cancer.
Thank you for sharing your story in such an honest and detailed way. You are going to be the best social worker and never let people get pushed away. Hope you’re doing well, keep us all updated. I’m rooting for you 💕
This is such a sweet comment!! Thank you so much. It is my dream to pursue a career that involves helping people. I’m doing very well and I will post an update video in the coming weeks ❤️
Wishing you all the best in your career. 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍🌹💞💞🌺🥰💞💞💞💞💞🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@CatherineSaoud I lost my first uncle cancer and lost my grandma to cancer and Alzheimer’s
@@annekalunn8567 I am so sorry Anneka. I have lost all my older family on two sides, thankfully have a wonderful family. I hope you have surrounded yourself with love.
Philly Lisa here.God Bless you darling.Hope your doin better now. No offence but these Doctors are morons.Love you❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story ❤ My grandmother died at age 30 from ovarian cancer. This was after she had 4 children. I love hearing real story's and symptoms just in case I end up inheriting it. Hope you are doing well and pray it doesn't come back.
So many doctors treat women complaining of pain as if they're weak, or faking it, or seeking medicine. Thank you for for telling us not to settle when they dismiss our pain and tell us that it's nothing!

I get pain from the cysts 😣😣 Mere periods 4 to 5 days hotte hai lekin un hone kaha hai ki 2nd day of periods se lena hai
Or medically gaslighting you and making you feel you are a hypochondriac. If your doctor dismissed you stop wasting your time. Get a second opinion, third, fourth or .. until you find a doctor that listens to you believes you. Do your own medical research. My mom and I would not be alive if I did not do medical research and be persistent.
Indeed, I doctored for months, IBS is what they kept telling me. Finally I got a diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
I’m scared to death of pain medicine so they can’t accuse me of that
6 year survivor, I’m so proud of you for pressing on and sorry for what you had to endure.
Thank you, congrats on 6 years! I can’t wait until I reach that milestone 🦋
It's not luck sweetness it's the Lord saving you! The great thing is if it does come back the doctor can catch it early. I know this because I'm a uterus lining cancer survival. It's been a little over two years and I'm doing great! It's God, not luck! Hang in there! You are doing great!
@@CatherineSaoud hi are fine now
I was told age 19 I had cysts on my ovaries and not to worry....they are NORMAL....same thing you were told. Same tests same things were told to me as well. My stomach got huge as well. The pain is insane ...lower back pain,got bed ridden several times as well. Well the day came they found what I knew was there....They wanted to remove my uterus but did some concurrent tests that found the Cancer had moved...common word matastesize .....Now I'm told they are concerned about a rapid spread and another choice given....live with it until,well you get it ...I'm glad your on top of this and not waited like me....God bless you young lady!
R U still alive ?
I love how they beat around the bush until it's too late with any cancer....smh. I'm praying you are healed and cancer free for good. May God bless your sweet young soul.
You're so inspirational girl! I was diagnosed with melanoma this summer and I was feeling exactly the same as you, shocked that it happened to me. It's so surreal. You're amazing!
I can't believe they messed you around so much before you got an answer. I'm praying for you. You are on your way to recovery! ❤️ I know it ❤️
Thank you for educating us on this. I’m a Mom of a grown daughter and my heart goes out to you and your poor mom. I know she must have worried fiercely over you. You are smart and will stay on top of this. Good luck sweetheart.
I have a super rare form of clear cell ovarian cancer which my dr says my endometriosis caused. I’m 24. Keeping you in my prayers! It’s hard finding a new normal in a new normal caused by a pandemic. Stay strong! We will overcome this ♥️🙏🏽
Absolutely! What is normal? Ugh so much change. We can do it!!!
I hope that both of you get well soon early
I’m 16 and preparing for medicine & if I get selected hopefully I seriously will become an oncologist and dedicate my life to study the genetics & anatomy of cancer,
I know in near future a final cure would be made for this particular disease n even if I won’t be able to find one I would work towards it.
I really hope that you both really get well soon and seriously thank u so much for being so so so strong 💖
My prayers are with you and may god bless you!
Please stay safe and remember you are a fighter n you can do it
My heartiest love to you both
I hope you are bit better now 💜
How are you doing? My cousin had this type of cancer. She was 58.
I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this! Wishing for your healthy recovery. Thank you so much for sharing! X
I can't imagine going through all of that during a pandemic. I was just talking to my own family not too long ago about how lucky I was going through my own experience with a rare ovarian cancer when I did and with the team I had. I was fifteen when I was first diagnosed with my own ovarian cancer. I do think that with the right mindset you can make it through it. It's a surreal feeling where it doesn't feel like your life, but is, and there will eventually be days where you almost don't think about it (save for the scars). Keep advocating for yourself. I've had so many doctors over the years who have disregarded my "feelings" on something, even after I had gone through cancer treatments multiple times...The fight gets old, but if you build a strong team to work with you it gets easier. I will keep you in my thoughts as your go through your journey.
Your mom sounds like an angel! There is nothing like having your momma who just makes everything better the minute you hear her voice. Your story is so touching that it made me cry, but I am so relieved that you are okay. Thank you for sharing. Praying for you to have a future full of many blessed years. God is so good!
"if your body is telling you that you're in pain, if your body has made these changes, there's probably something to be concerned about" YES thank you for this. pain is not normal, it indicates something is wrong. it can be from a "normal" cause like regular menstrual cramps or pain after surgery, of course, etc. but anything chronic or random seemingly without cause should be investigated. women especially are told that our pain is normal when it is often not. it might not just mean cancer (which is rather rare for certain age groups) but could mean endometriosis, ovarian cysts, nerve or muscle pain, etc. so many causes, and I strongly believe that patients women especially should and need to be their own advocates. fight for answers, it could potentially even save your life.
You’re a warrior I’m so proud of you look at you! Fighting with us! Please keep us always updated. Praying for you ❤️🥺
Thank you so much for sharing such a personal story. I find that there aren't a lot of these sort of intimate videos online that inform about this disease from people who have personally gone through it. Most of the videos i look up are extremely old/vague symptoms etc, and i appreciate you for shedding light on this. I pray that God heals you physically, mentally and spiritually and emotionally.
This was in my recommendations. Woah, I was diagnosed with this exact cancer when I was 18. Im 27 now with 3 boys and doing fine. I went through 6 rounds of chemo. I had symptoms like you but you never really think its anything. What made me get checked was the fact that I could feel the tumor when I pressed down on my stomach. I was lucky the cancer stayed only in the tumor. They told me it was rare for it to come back again. I pray it won't. I've never known anyone else, especially so young with this type of cancer. It feels like it a dream when I think back to it. But going through it made my perspective on everything change, in a good way. I wish you the best, you're going to look back at this one day and remember how much stronger it made you. 💗
You have no idea how much hope this gives me. That’s exactly right - I could literally push on my stomach and it was bulging. I pray that I’m able to have children in the future. My oncologist decided to hold off on chemo for the time being. So proud of you for continuing on and thank you for sharing ❤️
@@CatherineSaoud yes this comment! Hope you dont mind but I prayed that you have peace now and children in future if you so desire. Doctors have way scare life out of you keep your mind and heart on positive. YOU GOT THIS ❤
Listen please
This is very painfull .....but my reports are clear and altrasound also...
But my back pain is too much...
My lower belly bulky day by day and also pain...please help me... I am so depressed 😭..
I am telling about myself
I am unmarried age of 28.....
@@aniqamasood2710are you ok? I pray for you to have peace and hope as well. This is scary stuff. May I suggest Epsom salt warm bath to lower stress and therefore helping ease pain. Also breathing techniques such as deep belly breathing helps with pain and calms nerves.(I know it seems like nothing will) Please dont stress about marriage and children. Endless possibilities first you get better ok! Your not alone stay strong! May God wrap Aniga in peace and surround her with right doctors and support and all who need it❤
Thank you for sharing your story. You’ve possibly helped someone realize that they need to get checked out and/or have given someone hope♥️
Sending love from a fellow 22 year old cancer survivor. Stage one breast cancer. ❤️
How are you doing 😊☺️👋😊☺️
Wow! That is a miracle how everything lined up perfectly for you! Thank you for telling us your story. My prayers are with you!
You're such an inspiration for ppl like me who's going thru this horrible experience. God bless you 🙏❤
You are a very lucky young lady and God and your Angel is with you and saved you! Bless you much love and many prayers! ❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story and bringing awareness to this type of cancer. So brave and strong!
I can not believe how everything lined up for you. Thank God. I'm so glad you got the answers you needed fast even though the beginning was a fight. I hope you stay healthy and well for life. 💕
Hello
Thank you for sharing your story. As a cancer patient in remission I must say that my cancer has changed my attitude towards life for the better and although I wish I never had to go through it, in many ways my current life is more meaningful because of it. I wish you all the best!
What an awesome young lady you are. I wish you all the best and a bright future!
I randomly got this video recommended. I just want to say YOU ARE AMAZING! You are so right about people getting dealt with what they can handle. You are already something special and the things you will do in this world will only make it a better place.
This is so so sweet, thank you so much 🥺❤️
Catherine, I'm a guy, but hearing you tell, your stories, it's like I have ovaries, an I'm hurting with you through this whole process, especially down it that region of my pelvis. I stand with you in solidarity, not because I'm a guy and not a lady, but because feminine cancers run in my family. I am with you every step of the way.
lol
You are super strong! I'm impressed you tell your story with such a calm voice. Wishing you the best ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry you had to go through so much to get a diagnosis. Good on you for being persistent, it’s easy to let doctors convince you it’s nothing.
Thank you for your sweet comment. The pandemic made it really difficult and not to mention student health just being ill equipped to deal with serious issues. Once I was turned over to the right person, I got the help I needed.
You are an amazing young lady!
I’m a bit lost for words to describe your strength and how much I admire you. I’ve been a nurse for 48 years and don’t think I’ve ever come across someone your age who has the strength and knowledge that you have. I’m sending loves of prayers and love ❤️
This means so much to me, you have no idea. Thank you ❤️
I admire your strength! I pray that this never comes back! xx
You’re a very special young lady. I love your great outlook on life and how mature you have handled such serious news. I think you are going to make an awesome social worker. Sending you healing vibes and love!
Sorry for my language but YOU ARE BLOODY AMAZING! I recently too had a cancer scare and I was so fortunate that I was told it was nothing and just a small mole on my cervix. But the waiting time to be seen during the pandemic was awful and my anxiety was through the roof. But watching what u went though only tells me how strong you really are and I really do hope and pray this does not come back for you and you have a very long and happy life. Please just keep pushing to be seen if ur in doubt of anything.
You’re so inspirational. All you said at the end of this video, I had a massive smile on my face! The fact you’re using your hard experience as a learning curve and a way of improving yourself, girl… you are incredible!!! ❤
I am so glad you got that removed and you were so persistent. I wish you nothing but the best health. I love your positive outlook. I am 53 and I have been through so many ovary cysts and surgery and a ovarian cancer scare when I was in my 30s. It's awful but it does make us a better person...we as humans I believe are here on earth to go through trials and tribulations constantly learning. Take care dear. 🌞❤
So happy for you that you caught it early! Sticking up for yourself and having good doctors is so so important.
When I first moved to Ireland from the US, I had terribly painful period pain and frequent UTI's. The first doctor I went to only wanted to ask about my sexual activity, and when I told her I had a partner, she insisted over and over in that one appointment that it was my boyfriend that was dirty and not cleaning himself properly, and that I needed to talk to him about improving that because that's why I had recurring UTIs (seriously..).
Needless to say, I immediately went to a new doctor, and she didn't hesitate to order a transvaginal ultrasound and send me to an OBGYN. I had multiple large cysts and a lot of vitamin deficiencies that were really wrecking havoc on my body. Everything ended up being ok and was treatable, but I always knew it wasn't "nothing." Whenever I mention something even minor to my new doctor, her attitude is that she has to "prove" to me that I'm ok. I value and appreciate her so much, and wish everyone could have a doctor like I have now!
One doctor told me that I wasn't wiping correctly after using the bathroom and another told me I was using the wrong soap to clean myself in the shower, lmao!! So glad we didn't fall for those silly answers. I'm proud of you for pushing for answers and finding a new doctor that took you seriously. Thank you for sharing your story!
You are such an articulate and intelligent woman. I am a nurse, I see a lot of young, healthy people who have their lives turned upside down with cancer. Sometimes there is no logical or scientific explanation as to why these things happen. Life is unfair that way sometimes. I am sending you so much positive energy for your healing. So much love to you x
Have you watched the documentery Root cause?
Thank you for sharing your story, I'm 40 years old and I recently been diagnosed with stage-4 cervical cancer that has spread to my lymph nodes, it's videos like this that help me and I'd like to thank you for opening up and sharing
What were your symptoms? How were you diagnosed hope you are doing better 🙏🏼
I hope you’re doing okay now…🫶🏽🤍
What a lovely girl you are and brave. You will be alright and will be protected.
So sad yet inspiring at the same time. I recently lost my mum to secondary breast cancer, cancer really doesn’t discriminate age, social status etc… I’m so glad you’re okay, and I hope you live a full and happy life 💖💖💖
This is a very inspirational story at a very young stage of your life. You are a super strong girl who faced all this with belief & courage at this age. God bless you!!
Such a brave and remarkable young woman, a true inspiration raising awareness im sure you will touch and have a real positive impact on so many lives. With you every step of the way. You are one of lifes true heroes. 💘
God bless you! You are a strong young woman. Prayers for you.
You...are...as strong as a rock! Thank you for showing this 75 year old how to be bold in life.
I am so sorry that this happened to you. You seem like a very smart, strong, beautiful and brave young woman. I am inspired by the way that you have confronted your diagnoses so head on and with such strength and resilience. I wish you all the best in life and health. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you so much!!
Praying to love you better lovely girl.🙏
So brave to tell us your story and face this enemy with such courage and positive affirmations.
Thinking of you please keep us up to date.

I work in healthcare and I am in my late 30s it means so much to me to hear your story and that of others that have these experiences so I can advocate myself and my patients.

you will be absolutely fine. I am 1 year post OP and have found my faith again. this only makes us stronger and helps us appreciate life the more! we have something to share with people! best of luck to you!
Peace and blessings to you for a healthy recovery.
Hi, just found your video. Although my breast cancer seems to be in remission, my protein marker keeps going up. I get scans every 6 months, and see my oncologist regularly. Cancer is the gift that keeps giving! I am glad you are doing well, stay strong!

I wish you the absolute best in every aspect of life going forward!
I have no idea why this came up on my home feed but wow...What a brave presentation..so honest and raw and beautiful. As an ER nurse for 15 years I promise you that your story is helping some woman out there watching. Keep praying and keep believing that you are strong and amazing and this is not the end of your journey!
God bless you! 🙏🏽 Stay Strong and keep fighting. God has brought you through some tough times. You got this💯
This was a great video. I’m so glad you have a calm and collected outlook on such a scary situation. God was merciful!
You will be a brilliant social worker. Your demeanor, your intelligence, your dignity and even your articulate presentation along with this trauma mean you will be able to help people in a way others couldnt. Everything happens for a reason. As a mum to a 26 year old my heart broke to bits for you but you have got this Catherine. Later in life write your story .. because this will happen again to some poor lass. Bless you. You are a lovely brave young woman, enjoy each day to the maximum. When youve had a child ..consider getting a total hysterectomy love. Its not worth the risk. God bless darling. 💕🙏🦋🐈
WOW, amazing message Cat! Thank you and I wish you the absolut best!
You are so strong and brave. 💜 keep fighting
Good for you. Thanks for sharing your story. I’m always amazed how brave people are about telling their story. 👍🏻
Be well, Catherine.
Wow. I think you are so inspiring for people everywhere!! You are so awesome
I admire your positive attitude and outlook. You are an exceptional young lady. I just had an endometrial biopsy yesterday after having an abnormal abdominal ultrasound, and your video is encouraging to me as I wait for results. Thanks so much for your courage. I wish you all the best in life.💗🌸💖
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊
I’m so sorry you had to go through that 🥺 Thanks for sharing your story 🙏🏻 best attitude 👍
You’re amazing strong woman 💪🏼👏🏻

Thank you for sharing this story, you are such a strong person! You gave me the courage to go see my doctor🙏
This is so amazing to hear, you got this!
You are so brave. I wish I was half as brave as you. Praying for you. Not that you’ll need it. You got this !
You are right that you must be your own advocate. Keep pushing until you are satisfied that you have an answer. You had a positive outcome that the cancer had now spread because of it. Continued success for the future!
you’re a wonderful speaker. i’m sorry this happened to you
Blessings and love to you. Lost my father to cancer
💔. You’re brave and beautiful!
Positivity and love to you ✨💫
I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. 😇💝
Hi! I had similar symptoms to you as well and I was 18, 19 now. Earlier this year I was bloating and had frequent urination and such. We went to the doctors and they kept telling me it was constipation. 3 months in from seeing the doctor my stomach did go down a little but not much. My mom really pushed for an ultrasound. So I eventually got it, in the end they found a cyst of 20cm. It was basically my entire stomach and was pushing in my bladder. I had a laparotomy surgery two weeks ago and I’m recovering from it, good news was it was a mature teratoma! All I gotta say is you really gotta be able to push for things like this. Since symptoms are usually dismissed for something else. This video was in my recommendation and I’m glad it was hope your doing better!
Wow, almost identical stories except my teratoma was immature! My cyst was 21cm, so you definitely feel my pain. I’m so glad you’re doing well and thank you for such a sweet comment!
Hello do you need help ?
@@CatherineSaoud did they write the name of ur cycts in ur ultrasound? In my ultrasound the girls took almost 50mins! My parents were like why is it taking so long cuz they said it only takes only a few minutes? Do u think ur ultrasound was the main way u could figure out the kind of cancer or cycts it was... In my case i was told to take birthcontrol and vitamins myofolic sachets is it possible tht birth control can make the cycts smaller , its getting common young ppl with health issues just last week i got diagnosed with pcos 😭😭 is it possible to get regular periods and still have cycts

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m going through testing and scans for ovarian cancer and feeling very nervous right now. I’m having the same and similar symptoms but thankfully have a lovely doctor who started the investigations as I didn’t know anything about ovarian cancer. Thank you for speak out and advocating for yourself and others! You are such a light and I’m so grateful to have come across your story tonight. I’m so sorry you have been going through so much! I’m thinking of you and sending all my love and prayers across the sea~ love Francesca xxxx
Hi do you need help ?
How are you and your results??
Thank you for this video. What i have pulled from this, is to trust yourself, trust what feels normal and what does not, ask questions, and stay informed. Understanding whats happening is as important to recovery as staying positive. Sending my best to you and your family!!!
Love that!
Wow, you are so strong. That line towards the end, "We're only given things that we can handle" really hit me hard. I lost my mom to cancer last July and it's been so hard. You made me realize that although I feel like my world is falling apart, I'm getting through it.
Please come join us at Motherless Daughters💔
Your a beautiful young girl and I pray your doing better. I can't imagine how scary this was.My sister who is in her 60s is facing a possible ovarian cancer diagnosis. She is at the beginning and your video helped me as I'm very scared for her.
Good luck to you and in the future!! Always stay positive and never give up on your dreams. Prayers for u ❤❤😉. Your are Brave/Inspirational!!
YOU WILL BE AN AWESOME SOCIAL WORKER!! 😁😀
Hey thank you for sharing ❤️, mine story is similar to you, I had pain in my abdomen since 2019 was looking for doctors but the reports were always normal until I stopped checking, last march I had unbearable pain and the doctor suggested a CT scan and then there was surgery, and it was immature teratoma and today I met my oncologist and he suggested 3 rounds of chemo or we might need to take 4 after the Results of the tests I'll have tomorrow.
The most important thing i learned in this is to keep everyone strong, while being strong. You got this so fight it. My onco also said we don't know the death when it is going to come but we know how to fight. I'm so proud of you to share your journey. It is going to be my lantern.
Hi my name is Jaimie. I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I had a ovarian teratoma that was found to be the size of a 22 week old fetus when I was 13 years old. I am now 22. They told me that it was most likely to be my twin!! My friends in school actually named it lol. I had the same exact symptoms as you. Thank goodness you were finally taken seriously! Do not ever feel like you are alone with this! I am now studying to be a imaging tech and graduate in May!
Wow, this is an amazing story! So proud of you for choosing that career path, thank you for the sweet comment!
Yeah, teratoma twin….lol
I had teratoma too it's been 6 month I will my chemo
Can you please tell me about your diet my mum had an overian cancer and I'm soo worried about her please reply me
Praise be to God that you are at the right place at the right time.
Thank you for your story.
God is good, and everything is for a reason.
You are given what you can handle.
So glad you're intouch with your body
Wow!! You're so strong and inspiring. I have some lower abdominal pain in Jan 2017. It's wasn't bad. In May it was very bad and when June 2017 rolled around it was unbearable. When the pain went to right leg i couldn't walk. After a few hours it went away. I had my good and bad days too. My parents and i pushed to get that ultrasound earlier cause i couldn't wait a whole month. They told me it a 9cm ovarian cyst and it could be a tumor. I was devastated. I was in surgery June June 21st, 2017. They were wrong. I had a very inflamed Uterus and they had to do a complete hysterectomy. I was 32 years old. It was still a shock being told that in the recovery room. It was a scary thing to think that i may have cancer. Thankfully for me it wasn't the case. I hope your cancer doesn't return. Stay safe. xx
Best of luck to you. What an articulate and lovely young woman you are. I wish you a long and happy future!
Thank you so much!
God bless you. My 30-year-old niece is in the ER as we speak. Surgery tomorrow. Praying that her outcome is positive. Praying that you will remain cancer free.
You are such a strong and well spoken young lady. Wishing you all the best.
I admire and respect you. Your strength is encouraging. I wish you all the best.
So happy to hear you were persistent, you are right, be your own advocate ! God bless you and prayers for future good health
