Wow. As you now know, I'm sure, for a primary liver cancer to develop in someone who has no underlying-lying liver disease, such as hepatitis C, cirrhosis, or an auto-immune condition, is extremely rare. Thank you for sharing your story, and for promoting self-advocacy. I wish you the very best, for your bright future 😊
I’m also a nurse and was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma April 10, 2023! Thanks so much for sharing your story 💚 💚💚 your journey is so very similar to mine. I was told to get my affairs in order they told me I had 3-6 months! It’s been over a year! The Lord has blessed me with more quality of time with my family! I have stopped all treatment going forward now! I want to have quality of time! I’m now on hospice but doing okay! I’m comfortable and that’s all I ask for! I pray the Lord has completely healed you from this awful cancer and continue to show NED! God bless you God is good all of the time 🙏💚💚💚
@@TUPELO_HUNNY hi I was 62 when diagnosed I’m now 63 yrs of age! I had upper abdominal pain that progressively got worse! Very itchy Had an abdominal CT scan done that showed significant dilated bile duct then had a liver MRI a a that’s revealed a mass in the liver that was growing on the hepatic artery could not remove the entire mass due to the location!
@@maureenmiller-delisle2505 thank you Maureen for answering so quickly....i hate you are going through this. I hope your healthcare providers are giving you all that you need and you have a support system to help you during this chapter. A year ago this week i lost my best friend suddenly and unexpectedly to cancer. It's a cruel disease💔💔💔
So many cancer patients have symptoms for years before they are diagnosed. I hope your story can raise awareness of the need to test properly sooner. You are truly inspiring.
Be that miracle ✨️ I don't know you but I feel your pain. Dear lord, father to all of this please let this beautiful soul beat all the odds, be cancer free.
Thank you for sharing your story. I went to my dr for over a year saying something is wrong. I was soooo tired and I just knew. Eventually one day, literally overnight, I woke up with swollen lymph nodes in my groin. A long story very short is that I have incurable cancer, watch and wait. As crazy as it may sound to some people I’m grateful that I don’t have to go through the treatments. I’m just trying my best to stay healthy and positive. I wish you all the best ❤️❤️
Feeling you!! Im a retired RN...Surgical-Trauma ICU for the ARMY for 28 years. Two years ago, I lost 45 pounds over a couple of months. I was worked up, nothing found. My now PCM is a condescending jerk. Still no answers. Prayers for you. ❤
Jehovah please be with this young lady and give her peace and healing with her family! Thanks for sharing your story and cheers to your healing journey. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You are not just a courageous and brave woman, but you are an inspiration to so many who have cancer or who are currently in remission. Praying for you to remain cancer-free. No evidence of disease so that you can not only see your babies graduate from high school but also from college and well into their adult lives, including grand babies.
Members of my family and friends have and are going through cancer of various types. We all look to the internet for patient stories and we can't thank you enough for having the courage to share yours. Not only are you going through such a difficult time, but you helping and comforting others at the same time and striving to be the best mum and wife for your family. Again, we thank you so much for again for sharing your details and advice that gives comfort to us, and I send you love and best wishes. Your positivity is key. ❤
How lovely to have a positive outcome thus far. We can only wish her the very best. It’s sad that so many of these stories have the same learning point for all of us - you can’t always afford to take what your healthcare providers say at face value unfortunately.
So glad I found this 💗 I pray you will beat this and I have lost some weight also. 90lbs and had a high white blood count so they ran a PET scan….found I had CLL CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA. NO cure no treatment so I just wait…. Not fun … but I’m an old lady it still plays on my mind 😿 I know you’re so young please know a lot of us will be praying for you 💗💗
Brittany, I hope you are still doing well. U are such a brave soul. I will pray for you. And yes you have to push and push sometimes and advocate for yourself cause we know when something isn’t right. God bless you in your fight.

You are brave to tell your entire story….. the bad and the good. I firmly believe in mind over matter. Traditional medicine, holistic approaches and believing you will survive this. My belief is that God has the plan for your life mapped out. Live each day, cancer or not, with as much enthusiasm as you can. Wishing you all the best!!!❤️🙏✝️
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope that your cancer is gone now. I also know that you helped others to seek answers. I had s persistant rash on my breast that my primary kept insisting was excema. I finally went to see a doctor at a major cancer center who diagnosed me with Paget's disease, a rare form of breast cancer. They saved my life.
Friday, 9 August 24, 6:53PM. Thanks for sharing a difficult situatuation. Stay strong and keep your spirits up. I wish you and your loved ones well. Take care.
Thank you so much for sharing and for the important work you do! My father and aunt (who also has gallbladder cancer) both had successful courses of immunotherapy. My aunt’s cancer spread and she had targeted radiotherapy of her lung nodules, and then immunotherapy. She has been cancer free for 5+years (she is almost 80). My dad’s rhabdomyosarcoma was successfully treated with immunotherapy alone (he had 2 tumors, one the size of a grapefruit, which completely disappeared with immunotherapy). He died from complications of a fall at the age of 90. I know you can beat this and I am grateful you have such a great medical oncologist!! Wishing you the very best and it was wonderful to see the pics of you enjoying life during this difficult time!!
I think we compare poorly to similar European states in terms of survival rates; I don’t believe that we have higher rates per se. I’d attribute worse survival rates to delays in diagnosis & treatment. I’m still a fan of socialised medicine because, just like democracy, the alternative is a lot worse. The bitter reality is that with an aging worldwide population and increasingly sophisticated medicine, we are going to have to pay more for our healthcare. It is less expensive and more equitable to do that through our taxes. And socialised medicine is still an awful lot better than being dependent on insurance companies to look after us at great expense and/or reluctance or GoFundMe, God help the poor Americans.
❤God Bless 🙏 You 🕊️😊!! You're amazing and I'm so happy that you are healthy and living life to it's fullest 💕 Thank you for sharing your inspirational story with others. I am currently fighting Multiple Myeloma which is treatable but not curable yet! My oncologist has faith that they are getting closer to a cure with each passing day!! Sending love and light 🕯️ to you and your family 💗 may your lives continue to be filled with happiness and blessings 💕🌺🦋
Thank you for your sharing your journey. It gives me hope. I have been dx 1 yr. ago this week with st.3c aggressive clear cell endometrial cancer. Had chemo, radiation and now on immunotherapy. I am doing well. I am 83 today and am grateful for every day.
I am 35, female, without liver disease and my HCC was found at 34 years old. My team of doctors has told me this is virtually impossible. I have been searching high and low to find someone with a situation like mine. If it’s possible, please have this person contact me here. I would be so grateful.
You are one NURSE so far that is a FANTASTIC LADY. God Blessed you and PLENTY more years to come with happiness to you and entire families. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 You are included in my daily prayers sweetie🙏🏽
It really is. I just had 2 mri's yesterday and had never had 1 before. I was so scared to be in that tube. I kept my eyes closed the whole time and just focused on breathing.
@@violets6113 yeah I am on a scan schedule from hell lately. I just try to breathe everyday until I get results back. I literally sucks the life from my body
I am just doing what I can to stay here as long as I can. I have done pretty much everything that is available at this time so I wait until someone smart comes up with something else. I am at peace with all of it. At 60 years old I did live life. The children, babies and young adults that are diagnosed are the ones I pray for daily.
What an intelligent and brave woman. She couldn't have done anything differently to get the care she needed. Hopefully immunotherapy and other targeted treatments will continue to improve. Good comment by her doctor on the problems with statistics.
My mom's cousin dove into water it was not deep enough. He hit his head on a rock. He drove himself to the hospital. Anything could have happened. Someone sick, or injured should never drive themselves to the hospital. You could have passed out with pain. My mom's cousin with a head injury anything could have happened. Never get behind the wheel sick, or injured.
Bless you Dear, I will pray for you! It is a long hard road! leiomyosarcoma here, diagnosed two years ago, still wonder if it could be because of the COVID vaccines that I had?? Take care, stay safe! Enjoy those beautiful children, and your husband! My family Were my greatest helpers during my “Red Devil” treatments! That is something no one should have to go through! EVER!
Saying that your cancer has changed your life. It becomes your life! During treatment you literally hand the reins of your life over to the experts and hope for a positive outcome. I know when I was diagnosed, I just wanted to runaway. But then I thought, why? The cancer will just go with me. 🤷♀️ You ‘must’, ‘must’ be your own advocate. In the end, it’s your life, no one else’s. I just told my Dr to fire every cannon he had at my cancer. This was 2005, so not yesterday. In 2023 an acquaintance was diagnosed with BC. She now stresses about how different and localised her treatment was compared to me & how I mention things that she never had done. I keep telling her ‘the goal is to not have to mutilate women anymore & to make treatment less barbaric. That’s the aim! A positive result with little to no surgeries etc’ She’s always looking at me like somehow I got more thorough treatment than she did. 🤷♀️
I’m a nurse too and haven’t been well since an accident caused a hypoxic brain injury and multiple cervical and thoracic spinal fractures, this was 10 years ago and live in chronic pain everyday and have no quality of life, it’s not cancer no, but it’s been hell, surgeries, not being heard, incompetent health care professionals, test after test and more and more problems are compounding on top of one another like a domino effect. My health has detonated and deteriorated. I honestly do think that with all of the extra issues not, such as restrictive lung disease, digestive problems, cardiac problems due to the failed thoracic fusion and severe hyper kyphosis, fibrosis myalgia, bouts of things like corneal ulcers and shingles on my face due to being so run down, the fatigue is debilitating, and as a mother I do not worry about me so much, it’s more about not being able to be the mum I used to be, I can’t work so I’ve lost the career I lived, I don’t go put anywhere anymore… you know what I mean. The trivial things in life are just not important now and I have gratitude for all of the simple things and feel like although this has taken its toll it’s made me a better person. As nurses We know the signs, we know our bodies and it is very disheartening when our colleagues do not take us seriously. I’m very sorry that you were not heard and that your health care provider didn’t look into things more deeply and the Dr dismissed you, it’s a horrible feeling when these Drs, after finding something, treating you like you are simply buying a Big Mac at McDonald’s ! It makes me so mad! I’m sorry dear. I heard your frustration and disappointment in your voice darling. You poor thing, wow you this journey has been huge and you have been through so much. You are such a trooper! I can understand the apprehension and anxiety, the not knowing must be so worrisome. You will be a better nurse to your patients having gone through this, nothing like a lived experienced, you really don’t get it until you live it and these patients will be getting wonderful compassionate care from you, with the understanding that “ you get it” I’m so happy for you, it sounds like you have really given this a good fight and your attitude is a credit to you. I’m sending you my support and best wishes and I pray for you. Thank you for sharing your experience, we all learn from stories like yours and it helps people like me to see the courage and determination you have been able to draw on, something that is possible, even when faced with the unthinkable. Your an inspiration dear. All the very best x hugs ❤🦋🌸🇳🇿🩵💘🌎🌈🐳🐝
Your story has probably hit Home for thousands of cancer patients out there. Thanks for sharing your story… Sometimes the mind can heal the body,,, I think it’s called mind over matter… I wish you the best and stay strong for your family… bless you!!!🙏🏻

@@brittanybarr480absolutely ❤❤❤❤ your curls....i almost never finish these videos but you're a great storyteller and have such a calming voice. Did you experience steathorrea?
@@brittanybarr480God bless you!! The Lord is working miracles through you. He’s knows you’re strong and will use you to show others how not to give up and keep the faith. Your family is very blessed to have you in their lives!! Your children will know what true strength is by your example!
The Lord is real, I have had several tangible experiences with Him. He is with you, is the Great Physician. I am keeping you in my prayers. May the Lord comfort and heal you,...you who helped and comforted others in healthcare. God bless.
Just finished a bunch of oncology tests …..i completely understand the scan anxiety I had varies labs …Tumor markers …ana antibodies …serology tests …pelvic ultrasound abdominal ultrasound ….X-ray of chest X-ray of back …abdomen ct scan And and endoscopy :(….no sign of cancer …nagging upper gastric pain going on for a year now:( ….horrible…no appetite only rice and oatmeal and fruit …pulled all the teeth out of my head to get my tests:(….unreal
No cancer in the stomach or intestines but I have really bad bouts of pain in my upper right quad too. I go see my gastroenterologist soon and my PCP soon as well. Im hoping it's just from my gerd and or fatty liver. But idk
1:55 labs can be normal - ultrasound doesn't show much. Being a nurse, i don't understand why you didn't require a ct or mri scan. First thing thay needs to happen since doctors never know what to say
I’m sorry you went through this and I hope that you will be cancer free healthy and happy.. 🙏

Warning to everyone if you are less hungry, not getting your period, and tired... something is wrong!
always seek medical attention if something doesn't feel right
Nahhhh it's all in your head...right? Isnt that what we are always told in the US
She did seek medical attention but, was ignored!
Massive rises in cancers here in the UK, off the charts. Excess deaths too. Brave lady!
Hmmmm I wonder why 🤔
yes she is!
I think we compare poorly to similar European states in terms of survival rates; I don’t believe that we have higher rates per se.
I’d attribute worse survival rates to delays in diagnosis & treatment.
I’m still a fan of socialised medicine because, just like democracy, the alternative is a lot worse.

You poor thing, wow you this journey has been huge and you have been through so much. You are such a trooper! I can understand the apprehension and anxiety, the not knowing must be so worrisome. You will be a better nurse to your patients having gone through this, nothing like a lived experienced, you really don’t get it until you live it and these patients will be getting wonderful compassionate care from you, with the understanding that “ you get it” I’m so happy for you, it sounds like you have really given this a good fight and your attitude is a credit to you. I’m sending you my support and best wishes and I pray for you. Thank you for sharing your experience, we all learn from stories like yours and it helps people like me to see the courage and determination you have been able to draw on, something that is possible, even when faced with the unthinkable. Your an inspiration dear. All the very best x hugs ❤🦋🌸🇳🇿🩵💘🌎🌈🐳🐝

ALL glory goes to God.
I jus thanked Him for this healing.
thank you for the kind comment :)
Your a very strong lady God bless you 🙏🙏
yes she is!
Could you please tell me what is the relation between not getting your period with this issue. I'm tired all the time, and not getting my period for 11 months in a year. Thank you for sharing your story.👋👋🌷🌷💐🏆👍
They still don't really know why I stopped getting my period. The doctors seem to think it is a side effect of the cancer
@@brittanybarr480 Thank you very much. God bless you, and your family. 👋👋
if something doesn't feel right seek medical attention
@@brittanybarr480absolutely ❤❤❤❤ your curls....i almost never finish these videos but you're a great storyteller and have such a calming voice. Did you experience steathorrea?
Thank you Jesus 😊
Was that an actual picture of her opened up???? 😮
Yes that picture was taken during surgery. The back ugly part was the tumor.
@@brittanybarr480God bless you!! The Lord is working miracles through you. He’s knows you’re strong and will use you to show others how not to give up and keep the faith. Your family is very blessed to have you in their lives!! Your children will know what true strength is by your example!
yes! she asked her surgeons to take a picture for her
The Lord is real, I have had several tangible experiences with Him. He is with you, is the Great Physician. I am keeping you in my prayers. May the Lord comfort and heal you,...you who helped and comforted others in healthcare. God bless.
Just finished a bunch of oncology tests …..i completely understand the scan anxiety
I had varies labs …Tumor markers …ana antibodies …serology tests …pelvic ultrasound abdominal ultrasound ….X-ray of chest X-ray of back …abdomen ct scan
And and endoscopy :(….no sign of cancer …nagging upper gastric pain going on for a year now:( ….horrible…no appetite only rice and oatmeal and fruit …pulled all the teeth out of my head to get my tests:(….unreal
God bless you 🙏🏼
thank you!
❤
thank you for watching
No cancer in the stomach or intestines but I have really bad bouts of pain in my upper right quad too. I go see my gastroenterologist soon and my PCP soon as well. Im hoping it's just from my gerd and or fatty liver. But idk
So if I understood correctly, she doesn't have cancer anymore?
What about the lung lesions?
she continues to get scans!
I pray that you will recover from this
thank you!
That PA!!! Sounds like a SNL skit.
Did your period return after the surgery?
Wait they did a biopsy before a surgery?? 😳
1:55 labs can be normal - ultrasound doesn't show much. Being a nurse, i don't understand why you didn't require a ct or mri scan. First thing thay needs to happen since doctors never know what to say
I think deep down I may have known it wasn't going to be good news and I didn't push any further in fear of what they would find.
it's definitely easier said than done when you're in the moment. glad she eventually got the tests she needed!
And they say liver cancer happens only to alcoholics and drug addicts... 🙄 Statistically a man walking a dog has three legs, so...
it sadly can happen to anyone
Do not trust labs! If you think something is wrong, push for more testing.
i wonder if she was on birth control for a lengthy period prior? bc factually causes liver issues, quite a few women develop liver tumors.
You are healed in Jesus name all the way feom Africa
thank you for the kind comment
Just wondering why this cancer caused your periods to go away.
When are we going to talk about the association of tattoos and cancer?
Are they associated? I never heard that before
Yes, sure. I believe there is another association, much worse than tattoos.
Bro 😂
@@Happy_crab630This is more conspiracy idiocy.
@@Ceerads yes I just wanted to see what theory they were going to offer lol
Exodus 15:26,
Matthew 4:23-24,
cancer feeds on (eats) processed and refined sugars, and processed foods,
religion is the cancer
It said that in the Bible. They were way ahead of their time.
Jesus is the way❤Keep your faith and give him your worries❤
thank you for your kind words :)
Thank you for sharing your testimony💜
grateful for the patients willing to share with us :)
