I just googled to see how she was doing and I saw articles about her recent passing. And by recent, I mean yesterday. That's eerie. I'm so sorry she had to endure such pain in what should have been the happiest and healthiest years of her life. Just from the glimpses I saw, as a former ballet dancer, this young lady had the technique and elegance that would've taken her so far. I hope she is at peace and that her family is, at some point, able to find a new normal without their beautiful daughter. :(
Sad. 😥
This breaks my heart. My condolences to her family may she R.I.P.
What was her last name what did you Google to find out?
@@ickiedeer-lamb7282 Hmm..I think reading through comments or maybe her name was featured in the doc. It's been a while.
Yes. It's so sad. She was lovely.
This is just so sad. It's no fare she's so young.
i'm so proud of elizabeth's parents for advocating for her. it's better to get unnecessary tests than to miss something crucial
She died 2 years ago 😢 they all must be such a mess 😢 life is so cruel
Doctors brushing off patient concerns about cancer possibilities has probably cost thousands of lives. I always read stories about doctors saying it's a cold or you're just depressed or whatever else...only to find out a few months later that it's terminal cancer. Timing is critical to successful cancer treatment.
Sick children's hospital in Toronto supposed to be the best in Canada missed my brain cancer.
@@ickiedeer-lamb7282 sorry to hear that 😢
@@EmoryStudy thanks 😊
It was good that her mom pushed for that MRI sooner because she loved her daughter so much and wanted to get help to find out what was wrong. Such a loving family. Their daughter was lucky to have a perfect family who loved and she new it.
Thank God for moms! We know when something is not right with our kids ❤😢
She passed away September 29, 2021 RIP dear Elizabeth.
I had no idea. So sad such a strong young girl.
Can you direct me to her obituary?
I know, and so so sad she fought hard and strong RIP
This makes my blood boil. This poor kid had stage IV cancer. No one is cured once it spreads that much! They tortured her for 18 months for what?
You were such loving and supportive parents. I pray you both pull through this.
Unfortunately, she passed away.😢
Am I the only one who got teary eyed watching this video
I also got the tears
@Lennox Houston No one cares dude.

No
My Aunty was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and my uncle was diagnosed with non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and they both said yes to accepting my sons stem cells which brought them a extra 5 years life. My Aunty passed Last June and my uncle passed in April 2020
I’ve had cervical cancer stage 4 twice in 11yrs n now I’m in remission for last 2yrs
Im so sorry for your loss she was such a amazing beautiful articulate young lady ❤
What a brave and beautiful child....
She is dancing with angels now.❤
The courage of this family and this young lady is incredible,they are true heroes and an amazing example to us all.I am 73 years old and have recovered from breast cancer,I will always hold their example close to my heart,whatever the future holds for me.
❤
Rip , I lost my son to cancer he was was bleeding which was polyps at a very young age then had bone cancer had leg amputated then cancer spread then he passed away it will be his birthday next month and his anniversary in June I miss him so much, I also lost my nan, dad and sister to cancer too, my mum passed last year . Lost my baby grandson, too.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is the most catastrophic thing a person can go through. And you can never get over it, it is about learning to live with the scars. Kids should bury their parents, not the other way around. I lost my little sister to liver cancer, she was 4 years old. ❤
My mom passed away at age 63 from cancer, and my father is battling bone cancer, but it has spread. I HATE cancer.....
I'm sorry about your son God continue too bless your family ❤❤❤❤
Thankýou both
My condolences❤ i understand how it feels to lose someone to cancer. Sending love to you and your family 🫂
@@NickanM I'm sorry for your loss too I hate cancer so much too. we have a genetic condition now brother is terminally ill .I have had most of my bowels removed and my stomache has been removed just hope I dont get it in my bowels like the others.yes it should be other way round.
The majority of funds goes to breast cancer. Childhood cancer treatments have very little funding. Very sad. Keep fighting, beautiful!
Right. Breast cancer receives the most funding by a landslide. I'd be entirely shocked if one person out of twenty random people knew what month and ribbon color is for childhood cancer.

Elizabeth Patton
Yes, so much attention and fundraising for breast cancer. Yet this cancer rages on. Still in 2021 no cure and many women are stage 4 with metastasis. So many have fought and passed away with no end. With all the research and fundraising why isn't there a cure?
@@lorij6796 cures aren’t profitable. Sadly it is up to private and university run research to find them because the money is not the fist thing on their minds.
She died Wednesday
Brave to the end. What a beautiful girl she is and was. Wise beyond her years. God I hate cancer. We need a cure. Especially for children. My heart goes out to her family ❤
Sadly Elizabeth has passed away leaving her bright soul and personality on her community. Another child lost to soon because of the lack of funding for child hood cancer.
Prayers ascending for the ones who are left behind and I am blessed to have watch yall video. In Christ Greg from TN
I hope the medical chief had a talk with with his staff that was brushing her off. It's a child life. The ppl who stared at the poor mom on the ground and didn't help are assholes. I hope they get their karma.. Good job to her parents who kept pushing and pushing. Inspiring and brave women!!!
Elizabeth, You are a very strong and sensible young lady! I volunteered in a cancer unit, but there were no young people like you! Over time I realized the tone ‘of spirited’ patients did go through with their treatment and stand tall just as you are doing! You are certainly meant to be a dancer,,,,a dancer you will be, because that is your passion! I will be praying for your strength and the day you are cleared….it has surprised me to realize that many, many patients do get well…absolutely well…keep up your spirits and love to you and your very strong family!
Elizabeth passed away on September 29th, 7:04pm CDT 🎗
Childhood cancers are not given the same priority as cancers that affect adults . When the money comes into agencies , the amount issued goes to childhood cancers and rare childhood cancers is about a 1/5 of the total issued in resesrch grants . Elizabeth's family went through unbelievable stress , but remained positive . Its definently a journey of ups and downs when a family member has cancer . Many hours at the hospital , sleepless nights , always having the fear of losing them during a crisis , it's very difficult . Bravo for the mom and dad thst stayed strong through the fight ! I pray Elizabeth is cured 🙏 !
We will meet one day! How beautiful you and your soul are.
God Bless You All! ❤️❤️🙏🏼
I'm also a survivor of childhood cancer - brain cancer in my case, found out when I turned 18 and had seizures while dining out
Everyone talks about breast cancer, but there's little attention for people like us that had this battle at a much younger age
I had brain cancer at 16. Praise God I'm 60 and speaking of it.
I’m so sorry you too strong 🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤
@@ickiedeer-lamb7282 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I wish people who don’t truly care for people wouldn’t work as a nurse, doctor, teacher, or any profession where their attitude/actions have the ability to break an entire family!
I’ve experienced teachers who shouldn’t be teachers. I’ve experienced medical professionals that only chose that career for the salary and it’s ends up being devastating to so many people. How any person could chose to not do everything at their best ability to help someone is beyond me! As a doctor, as a human being, seeing a patient sitting in the chair for chemo should never be seen as money in your pocket. Having a patient check in for chemo when they’re not healthy enough and it’s not helping anymore just so you get paid is disgusting. It should be a crime.
Kkkkkkkkkkmkķkkkkkkkkķmmkkkkmkkkkkkmkmkmmmmmm????????????mmmmmmmmmmmm?????mmm?u55555555555uyyy ty gg
I've met them too. I had a phys Ed teacher in kindergarten/ 1st grade come in the room and throw a small ball at the kids. It would take up our whole chest/stomach. He had an incredible throw. HE would make us run around, freeze & hit us as hard as humanly possible. He told us don't you dare cry and threaten us. He hit a boy 1st and he fell over screaming & crying. That mad him more mad bc someone could here that. Then he hit me. I didn't fall over or cry out. It stung so bad. No one knew he was doing that. He seemed satisfied I didn't. He would come in a rage into the gym & do that. They paid him to abuse children basically.
The pain she went through for treatment was unbelievable. Poor girl.
Now in day's you have to be flat out rude towards medical staff in order to get thins resolved otherwise they will push you around and never give you answers.
Just so heartbreaking what a wonderful sweet young lady hate cancer so sad nobody should go through this evil disease we need cures we have scienceist but people still have govthrough something so scary
Dance, ballerina, dance ❤️
Beautiful dancer ❤
I hope this family has been given extensive trauma care. Mom is entirely traumatized. Everything happened so fast, they didn’t get proper care. 😭
Is the mom a nurse? It’s good she knew to push for more!
Elizabeth's mom is not a nurse. She's a great mom, though!
The worst thing is went through hell and so did you and watching them loosing hair vomiting. And you lose them. The treatment is not fair. Hopefully if the can't find a cure for cancer soon at least make treatment easier.
Heartbreaking for this beautiful girl and her family. I hope Elizabeth is still fighting. No one deserves to battle cancer.
She passed away on september 29th, 7:04pm CDT 🎗
Very sadly she passed September 2021.
She's such a. Strong beautiful youngblady
Doctors please listen to your patients.
Please ❤❤❤❤
A good friend of mines son had neuroblastoma too he fought for 6 years. Unfortunately they got turned down by st Jude's too. They had to do a trial at Seattle children's.
How could a family get turned down at St. Jude? I thought St.Jude never turned any child and family away EVER. I thought they were on the he cutting edge of cancer technology!🤔🥺🤢😭
@@deliciaford4343it depends on what trials are available, it’s not a regular hospital it’s a research hospital. Your child has to be referred. You’re confusing it with “no child is turned away due their parents inability to pay” part.
I hope it all gets better makes me cry u stay strong n fight this we love u
Everyone is entitled to a 2nd, 3rd and even 4th opinion
I just had one a few months ago and they did it under light anestia. Painless.
Sick of the way doctors dismiss maternal instinct.
I always wonder what the common denominator is when people have complaints with various medical personnel from different medical practices.
One of the worst fears is the fear of the unknown.
Once a patient + their family walk into a hospital the control they have over their lives ends + they CAN become victims who are scared, confused, + feel like they are in a nightmare where painful things are done to them.
Their experience depends solely on having staff who give the patient back their control by promising to always explain procedures before they are started. This should include what the procedure is, why it's being done, + what the patient will feel.
Doing this before every procedure should greatly reduce their fear. It's the same with the info be given about their VC diagnosis. Only after all the necessary diagnostic tests have been completed the
"team of Dr's, etc" on the patients case should meet to discuss the case, diagnosis, plan of action + then meet with the patient + family to inform them of their diagnosis, plan of care, + answer all questions.
Usually certain tests are performed at different stages during treatment to see if the treatment is working + if it isn't make adjustments to the meds, etc.
To go through 18 months + then test to see the effect of treatment is not what I've seen in other documentaries.
It is very sad to hear of this young girl's passing. It seems to me that her case was mismanaged + her parents
should, if willing, contact a lawyer be for a possible malpractice suite.
R.I.P young one.💐
She still died.I have 5 children.My son Nick had thyroid Cancer at 18 it came back once.He is 34 now an Fine.I will pray for this family.What a sweet girl.May jesus have her in his arms🙏🙏🙏🙏.I'm So Sorry,i can't imagine that kind of loss.
Why does everything hin the US have to become s bloody lawsuit???
It's just hair Sweetie. It will grow back. It will be ok
A person dies, Not a relationship
It's now 2021.....I wonder if Elizabeth is still alive?
She’s still alive and fighting. She’s relapsed last year and is now in clinical trials as traditional treatments are no longer effective.
Apparently not.
She has passed away now.
Hello, world I'm trying to bring light to what a lot of people think of dark but someone taught me yrs ago a person does not a relationship God bless All❤️🌈❤️
They told her in a restaurant
They tortured this kid for no reason. 😢 They definitely should not have told her she would be fine.
I appreciate your point. ❤
I’m not clear why the family did not pursue St Judes as they are the front runner in childhood cancer and there is no cost to families
Was saddened by the passing of this very brave girl. She fought the good fight
Because St Jude's is not what people think. You have to fit into a clinical trial. They get paid by the trial sponsors. They do not take insurance so if you don't fit into their trials they won't treat even if they have one of very few machines (Proton Beam) in the country (1 of 26 at time). I know this because my daughter was denied life saving treatment by them. God bless Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
@@rose521anne I would never support st judes. Glad to know this.
Actually they do take insurance now. What insurance doesn’t cover the hospital covers from donations.
Who types the close captions? I can’t even read them as a word or two is always wrong. The cousins name is Collin not colon.
Most of the time they are automated so that’s is why the inaccuracies. It’s too expensive to have a person do it so only comercial movies or documentaries with enough funds have correct close captions.
Remember English isn't everyone's first language and tend to write as it sounds so stop being preacher teacher 🙄😑
It’s automated, so it won’t always be correct.
this is so so heartbreaking i swear. i wish sicknesses never ever even existed i swear.. nobody deserves it💔. i’ll be praying so so much for everyone going thru things like this🙏🏻✝️❤️ i hope they never ever forget that god/jesus are so beyond amazing and they have everyone thru everything always and forever ❤❤ i hope they never forget how strong and beautiful and amazing they are 🩷🩵❤♾️

What hospital was this?
20:10, that exact thing happened to me when my spinal cord ruptured at the same moment as I tried to stand up and fell. No one was there to catch me!¡ I'm not 17 yrs paralyzed
*just saw a typo*
*Meant to say, I'm now 17yrs paralyzed*
I had lots of piercings that I couldn't take out on my own, I had to remove with a special tool for my MRI. They said they would blow out from the radiation.

So tragic all having to do with cancer. The courage it must take to go through chemo and radiation.
It's heartbreaking especially when young people are diagnosed.
Were you diagnosed? I hope you are well. 💞🙏💫💥
I have 17 Piercings and 2 guages. I've had a few MRI'S this year so I just took out the Piercings and only have the guages in because the just slip in and out.
MRI have very strong magnetism. That's why no metal can be worn.
@@mika72.-Bois OH ok
Why do good get the bad
Rahmeek Brunner
That is the million dollar question.
That's life deal with it instead of questioning it!
🩷🩷🩷❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇 dance with the angels Elizabeth and I am so happy you got a letter from President Trump .
How is she doing now
Elizabeth found out her cancer had spread at the beginning of the year. She is currently on a trial. You can follow her story at facebook.com/crownsfightcancer/.
Wonder if she did MIBG therapy

Sadly Elizabeth passed away in September 2021.
What hospital was this? Seems incompetent! Very little compassion. Shame on those doctors and nurses.
You be aggressive. Thats your child. Nobody is going to fault you
I'm sorry for your loss and her pain. She is now safe from all future horrors - being raped, being homeless, etc. She is safe forever. ❤
I don’t do face book. Does anyone know how she is doing? I’m praying for her.
"Do" Facebook? FFS!
She’s pretty sick. The last update was from December, 2020. She’s hanging in there, but after two rounds, she was booted from a medication trial. 😢 Praying for a miracle for this beautiful young lady. 💗

As of now i am pretty sure she is cancer free
She unfortunately passed away. In February i believe
Not all of us do.Im not looking for any sympathy as I know lots of people who feel this way. It can be very hard being a doctor-please don’t boo or jeer-We too are humans and try so hard to do what we think is the right thing at the right time..
It’s rare that major illnesses are diagnosed quickly unlike minor ones like tonsillitis,they tend to evolve after time and tests.
It’s often a no win situation.Yes it would be a great idea if everybody had an MRI on a regular basis,but if the results are normal people tend to complain about the cost to them and why was it done in the first place for no really good reason.
However if it’s not done the medical profession are wicked people.
When you showed me the letter from the President ....l cried. SUCH a great president! May you be with Jesus now!
Many Presidents have written letters like that . Actually, they have staff write them.
That orange fuck didn't write shit lol 😂😂
Delusional poster, eh? As if Trump can write anything! 😂😂😂
Only a naïve child would believe that Trump can write, read, pray, or feel any compassion. Sad.
If I received a letter from Donald Trump, I could die in peace.
Is her brother special needs?
