Just heard the news that she passed away. May she rest in peace. 🤍
That's so sad to hear, when did she pass? 😕
@@peachdaisyandrosalina9666 May 2nd.
She was given 5 years, but she didn't even make it a year and a half... This world is so cruel, this is gut-wrenching and utterly devastating. Rest easily beautiful girl, your bravery and courage in the face of all this heartbreak will never EVER be forgotten.
My sister-in-law had colon cancer, many years ago. She also knew that something was wrong. She just didn't feel right and kept telling her doctor that something was wrong and she kept pushing her doctor to do testing. Sure enough, she had colon cancer and was put in the hospital immediately to have the tumour removed. Luckily she insisted that something was wrong and kept pushing for testing. Because of that, they caught it early and she was able to have the tumour removed. This was over 30 years ago and she is still doing fine. So advocating for yourself is vital!
may she rest in peace. such a sweet soul gone too soon 🕊️🕊️
I’m so sad to hear the news today that Maddy passed away ): she was so nice !!! i love her 😫❤️
This absolutely breaks my heart knowing Maddie just passed away💔she was a year younger than me. She seemed like someone I would have definitely been friends with🥺 rest in peace Maddie you beautiful soul🧚🏼🦋🌈☮️
May she rest in a peace as beautiful as her spirit 💜
This episode hit me so hard.... thank yall for what yall are doing... and may Madison rest in peace ❤
I went to high school w her for a year and she was just the same 8 years ago as she was in this video. If you believe in heaven or whatever it is, she’s running it now. She was always so nice
I'm doing preventative chemo for ovarian cancer and I can't believe how this girl can be so active and positive over her terminal cancer ❤ it's amazing
i have followed Madison for awhile and I’m so glad I got to hear the whole story, she’s so strong and this was such a good episode!!
So proud of you girl! We are all cheering you on from Missouri love you! Give my cousin all the love y’all!
As someone who is terrified of dying, this video gave me such a relief and sense of peace. I think i´ll watch this every time the anxiety kicks in. Thanks Madison, and thanks to the squeeze for opening this space. Love you 🥰
Dont be afriad of dying those who you loved and died before you will be there waiting. Like seeing an old friend dont be afraid.
Feb 24 2023 was also my cancer diagnosis date. Girl stevie nicks hexed me too 😅😂
I just want to say this women is incredible ❤…I’m a 5 year cancer survivor… My heart goes out to her because I know the struggle.. I’m going to tell the words my brother told me “ don’t let your mind follow your body, think positive thoughts or your body follows your mind “ every day I wanted to give up.. I had staged 2 and 4 ( weird I know I had 2 different forms of the same cancers in my body non-Hodges lymphoma, leukemia, ugly, cousin) but I’m here to say don’t let anyone tell you can’t live.. don’t let your mind feed your body negatively… I’m here for you… ❤❤❤❤
Being positive can have such a big impact, and it's amazing how quickly Maddy decided she wasn't going to let her diagnosis get her down. For me it was something that took a long time to learn, but it's such an important lesson, and one that's still with me today. 22 year survivor here, but the first 5 were the toughest for sure. Glad to hear you made it to 5, and I hope you're doing well.
It's crazy how quickly things can change. Maddy was so full of life, and so full of joy, and she was taken far too soon. I'm sure she's touched the lives of many, many people, and her passion and positivity will live on.
@@JScaranoMusic I’m doing well thank you for asking!! This beautiful person had me crying so hard… I know she wouldn’t want us to cry tho… We have an unspoken and spoken sister hood with each and everyone one of us( brothers,sisters, cousins etc y’all are welcome too🤗).. But it’s something amazing and beautiful when you can touch someone’s soul which she has done for many.. I didn’t have anyone to understand my illness and my feelings behind it… so if anyone needs to talk or vent frustrations or yell , scream I got you🤞🏽
This was such an amazing episode. We all grew in an hour and a half. WOW. Please bring her back again soon ❤
Just found out about this girl. I’ve had some concerning symptoms for about less than 2 years and would get it brushed off by the doctors. I finally have a colonoscopy appointment and am hoping for good news. It’s hard to advocate for yourself when , like Maddie said, women are dismissed for some symptoms like IBS, menopause etc. If something is happening outside the norm, keep trying to push the doctors to run tests.
Glad you're getting it checked out. Definitely better than waiting. Hope it's nothing too serious though.
I love how she told this story❤️ what a beautiful soul. We LOVE U MADDIE!!!
The number of young people now being diagnosed with late-stage cancer is staggering. Of course there's always been a few young folks who get cancer, like lymphoma, which not uncommonly strikes the young, or breast cancers to which they're genetically predisposed. But we're seeing cancers which are incredibly rare to see in young people - esophageal, pancreatic, colon ca.
Add to this that it's highly unusual to see so many cancers diagnosed at such late stages. It's hypothesized that this may be bc the person, being young, has their symptoms "brushed-off," but even that can't explain this, esp. when you consider that many older folks delay seeking medical
attention out of denial & fear.
Speaking as someone who sees sick people everyday? It's just not normal to see this many unusual cancers, presenting at these late stages, and progressing this rapidly. It needs acknowledging - and looking into.
You are so strong Maddie!! We love you!❤
Best freakin podcast episode ever! I love Maddie sooo much I have so much love for her authentic genuine self! She is a beautiful human ❤
Gosh, I don’t comment much but Madison you’re so inspiring and beautiful. This was such a beautiful and impactful podcast.❤
Madison. Wow. Thank you so much for telling your story. I am a cancer survivor 4.5 years now and this really hit home for me. I hope to meet you one day! Maybe on your podcast ;) because you should Def share other people's stories and meet other survivors and to continue to spread this positive light on life and the joy you can still have after dealing with this thing called cancer. I needed this right now. I continue to have health anxiety and worry about getting sick again. But I have the same zest for life and truly just want to live an authentic happy life. Like you are doing too. So great to hear your story. I hope we can be friends. Fuckkk cancer babbyyyyy. Also yes you are hilarious. "I think my body took a screen shot" on this episode! hahaha
If we could all truly LOVE AND LIVE LIKE MADDY, it would make this world less hard, no matter the hardship we are all facing. I’ve followed her a while on TT and I never would have thought I (at 42 years old) could be so POSITIVELY IMPACTED by a 25 year old that’s living with a terminal condition. Thank you for having her on your show. Thanks to Maddy, I’ve found my new favorite podcasters. The compassion and love you two have for others, and one another, is very special and needs to be shared with the world. I’ll be spreading the world🥹🫶🏼. I’d love to see a part two to this, the connection you three have is remarkable! Much love to you all❤
I am saddened to hear about Maddy's passing. I would like to say thank you to Taylor and Tay for what you are doing. I hope to talk with you some day. My daughter-in-law is battling Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer. She is a Veteran 20 yrs with a young son . My son, also a 20+ yr Veteran has been diagnosed with Parkinson's. He is only 47. I thank you for your kindness. How can I get in touch with you?
My dad just passed and he didn't catch it till late and it was pancreatic. This was shortly after the breakup of a relationship that I wanted to turn into marriage.
I've been going through a rough depression from both losses, but hearing Maddy talk makes me want to take advantage of the time I have instead of crying to "what was I made for" from the barbie movie.
I made a bucketlist myself, because it is so true we are all terminal.
I hope Maddy gets to finish her bucket list and I also think Maddy should consider adding meeting Stevie Knicks to her bucket list.
We all have choices for sure! I had stage 1 breast cancer and feared everything, eating meat, eating anything processed food…. I am cancer free after doing surgery, radiation and now on pills aromatase inhibitors for 5 years! There are signs everywhere at treatment centres regarding smoking and drinking alcohol, that they are toxins and don’t lend themselves to healing and avoiding cancer! While it is admirable that Maddy lived the rest of her life as she did, it is definitely not for everyone!
No offense but non smokers get lung cancer, people w a healthy lifestyle still get cancer
Rest in peace now 🙏😥
Rest eternally in peace and power, beautiful soul 🤍🤍
this is my first podcast i’ve watched of you two after hearing about you guys for some time and i don’t think i could’ve chosen a better first episode to hear. madison is so beautiful and has a way with words that is so touching and inspiring. she was made for this! you two are such great listeners and have the most beautiful hearts❤️ p.s. now that i’ve subscribed, i need to go catch up on all the episodes i’ve missed haha
Maddy, thanks for sharing so much of your story. It's amazing that you had such a positive attitude immediately after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed at 19 and it took me a while to learn how to be so positive, but it's such an important thing to have, and you're absolutely smashing it!
Glad you ticked another thing off your bucket list. Can't wait to see what's next!
I went to high school with her. I’ll be thinking about you beautiful ❤
Such a beautiful soul! Wishing you joy and more peace. Amazing how you continue to push thru such a strong lady❤ Continue exactly what you’re doing you make us all blessed to have heard about your story and to see more into your life!!
Incredibly profound! THANK YOU!
Such a beautiful and emotional episode. Greetings from London!
OMG I'm so early, thanks to Taylor and the Squeeze team to make Madison's wishes come true, I'm such a fan
Such a beautiful episode❤
What we need to be asking is why is this happening. There should be NO REASON a 26 year old should be dying from cancer. What a lovely young woman. Hoping her family finds some peace and healing.
Excellent episode. ❤
What a great episode. I actually learned alot. It was such a amazing popcast
You are so well spoken, god bless you❤️🪽🦋
Our healthcare system needs to be better, we all need access to it, because everyone has to have screening done. Cancer does not care for age, it could give warnings, and it could just appear, the only way to fight it, is to find it early. RIP Madison.
The ending of the 7th question… such a blessing
Having such an amazing guest and having the simplest answers and questions .... but Maddys amazing !!!!pass her the mic and let her keep it
Crying I miss her
amazing video. you guys are amazing . I have some family members battling cancer. My best friend beat Childhood Brian cancer.
I 💯% agree Boy Tay! I love the Backstreet Boys too.❤
I have met them a few times and have a tattoo of Backstreet's back writen by Howie on my back. 😅
I loved this episode ❤ Madison is such a cool girl
