  • Colorectal cancer symptoms in a young person? Emotional cancer Q&A Vlog
    Malin & Tom
    Have you wondered what the colorectal cancer symptoms might be in a young person? In this colon cancer vlog, we discuss what the first symptoms of Malin's rectal cancer were, our experience of the Swedish healthcare system when it comes to cancer treatment, specifically chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as some of the other creators here on RUclips that have inspired us with their cancer journeys, specifically ‪@kingingit‬, ‪@eamonandbec‬ and ‪@tiffanythinks‬.
    In October 2022, Malin was diagnosed with stage 2/3C colorectal cancer at the young age of 29. Since this, she's had a full course of radiation therapy, is it just about to start round 3 of chemotherapy. The radiotherapy was tough to get through, and the chemo is, of course, also proving to be a huge challenge, but we're getting through it. One foot in front of the other.
    After the chemotherapy is finished, Malin will be having surgery to remove whats left of the cancerous tumour, and will hopefully be on her way to becoming cancer-free.

    Who are we?
    ------
    We are a young 'Swenglish' adventure family, that consists of Swedish Malin, English Tom, and babies Charlie & Isabella, who are half and half. We love all kinds of adventures, including travelling around Sweden and beyond in our little budget family campervan, and we're currently building our dream campervan project.
    But right now we’re focused on one thing: to be free of cancer. We've been on the journey to recover since Malin received her colorectal cancer diagnosis in late 2022.

      TiffanyThinks is a dumpster fire. I really don't recommend her. She is also very mentally unstable and struggling and would be a terrible person to watch if you have any struggles yourself. Please check out the TiffanyThinks Tattle Life thread (easy to Google) before you get started with her. She's mostly into selling merchandise and having people send her gifts. She is the most controversial cancer vlogger and I just don't think you need that at this point. You seem like lovely people.

    But she has an awesome partner and her mother living with her - it makes all the difference I reckon = nobody should go through this alone.

There are individuals who might develop cronic diseases or have children that are born sick and need years of daily cares , a temporary loss of work , accidents ,the examples are endless . With this system all strata of society can afford to be sick . There is no difference between rich and poor in the hospital . Rich people can pay extra to have a private room if they desire so .

She’s a beautiful young woman and very open and honest. She’s just a few weeks out from surgery and still adjusting to her new body and life. I would never discourage more views for her channel but just based on what you said, it might not be one you are ready to follow yet.

She has been open about her struggle, and it might not be the best time for someone who may possibly go through the same. It might be too much knowledge too soon.

    Sending you love and encouragement from America! Cancer sucks!! My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in 2017 at age 50. It had spread to the lymph nodes and there was a spot in his liver. Our children were ages 10, 4 and 2 at the time. He did radiation, chemo and had two surgeries. As of last month he is cancer free for 5 years!! I have been where your husband is on the caregiver side. It is hard, but know that I am thinking of and praying for your family and look forward to seeing you beat this and enjoy life on the other side of the battle!
    As for the chemo it was the same with my husband. He would where oven mitts to get something out of the fridge because of the sensitivity to cold. He still has a bit of neuropathy in his feet, but his hands are fully better. Hope this story encourages you and helps you to feel less alone in the battle.

    Of course, follow your heart as to what vloggers you look into. As a medical professional though, I would not encourage you to check out Tiffanythinks. There are just several things portrayed that I would not want my patients to engage in or think are healthy/acceptable. I can get into details if need be, but in a nutshell.... she is not a good role model of a patient who is proactive, and/or compliant with her care. She is also a very anxious and insecure person, which then impacts her journey in a negative way. I am not here to 'bash' anyone, but if you were my loved one.. this is what I'd be saying to you. I do encourage you to be proactive, and write down questions for your doctors. (It never fails, I always forget to ask all my questions, if I don't write them down!!) 🤭 Best wishes, and positive peaceful vibes being sent your way from Florida!! 🌺😎 ☀ 🏝 🌻

    It's normal to feel like this.
    In february 2020 I was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer with 38 yo.
    I had to have surgery (they made a protective colostomy in order to have a smooth radiotherapy treatment), had radiotherapy, then discovered that there is another tumor at ileocecal valve. I had the big surgery by the end of July, they closed the colostomy and opened an ileostomy. In september started the quimiotherapy, 11 cicles, one at every 2 weeks. I was exhausted all the Time, spending all day in bed. In Romania is cold in winter as well so I had to spend the days at home. The numbness is awful but in some cases is reversibile.
    After chemo I spent few months recovoring and then had the surgery to close my ileostomy.
    It wasnt an easy path buy it was totally worth it. This month I celebrated 2 years since my Last chemo and 3 years since my diagnosis.
    Malin, be brave and think that is just a phase and then when it finishes the things will start to improve quickly. After my chemo it took me only 2 weeks to have a good walk (10.000 steps), and during the treatment the only steps I used to take were from the bed to the kitchen, and from the bed to the bathroom.
    If you need to know more details, be free to write me.
    Hugs and good energy from Bucharest!

    Malin and Tom, your journey may be difficult but the way you look at each other is so beautiful. As for the mention of Tiffanythinks, she and her family are amazing. She has put so much of her cancer journey on RUclips, that’s not for everyone. I think Tiffany would be the first to say ‘do you’ what you are comfortable with. Sending healing thoughts to you.

    I stumbled on your video. I had a colonoscopy last year (February 2022) at 44 and the doctor found colon cancer. I was very lucky that it was very early, and had not spread. I had a hemicolectomy in April 2022 to remove part of my right colon. It was such a scary time, and I am so very sorry you are going through this. I just wanted to let you know I am keeping you in my prayers! ❤️

  • @tomgreening

    Hey guys stay positive, I was in your position they thought I had stage 3 colon cancer due to the lymph nodes, even after the surgery the dr told me it looked like it had spread but when I got the histology done I had 36 lymph nodes removed and all were cancer free, and I was actually stage 2. I too have a young family, with my wife currently pregnant with our third. I wish you the best, I know it’s hard, believe me I know. But keep going. I got told I’m now cancer free in January. Good luck guys.

    Malin sweetie, don’t ever feel like you should apologize for being emotional. It breaks my heart for you that you are going thru this battle with Ca. You and Tom and children continue to be in our prayers.
    Yes, Tiffany Thinks Family: Tiff is recovering from her surgery and a lot different in as she records pretty much everything; the good days and the horrible days so she can look back and see where she was, went thru, and how she persevered thru it all. But each person deals with their battle differently and it’s all ok!! Your diagnosis and Tiffany’s is quite the same. Malin, you are doing so great. And So blessed to have such a loving husband by your side. Oh, your hands and feet; so many have the same symptoms.
    I pray that this round of chemo doesn’t make your next several days unbearably difficult. Lots of prayers and love from Karla in Oklahoma.

    No apologies necessary. You are a very strong woman mother and wife you will come out of thus with flying colors. I too I am a colon cancer survivor stage 4 cancer metastasized to my liver had two different surgeries one to remove part of my colon 2020 and other to remove part of my liver 2021. I am currently 1 year cancer free. I didn't do chemotherapy or radiation I did alternative approaches. I found the book Radical Remission to very very helpful with my healing journey and also Chris Beats Cancer book and his videos very helpful 😀. I will pray for your healing 🙏🏻.
