Emily Hayward's Story | Malignant Melanoma | Stand Up To Cancer (2019)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2019
- Emily Hayward had been on a journey with skin cancer for over seven years. What started as a mole on her leg, was later diagnosed as a malignant melanoma. She was then told by doctors that her cancer had spread to her hip and brain.
But when going through all of this Emily remained strong and proposed to her long time partner Aisha Hasan, marrying her soon after.
Emily recorded her beautifully emotive journey, blogging about what she had experienced, on her own RUclips channel: / @emilyhayward4726
"I've just got to live my life knowing that this could be it." Emily passed away, peacefully in June 2018, age 24.

Emily certainly touched a lot of lives with her energy and positivity. THANK YOU to everyone who has watched the video and left a comment ❤️
i am so sorry. can you pls post how long she lived from diagnosis to end....she was one tough cookie. i am just so sorry-you two were a beautiful couple, no 2 two are a beautiful couple...xoxoxo
I wish we knew how her wife is doing ! Love them both, they were great together !!
She was diagnosed at 17 and battled for a amazing 8years she was truelly an inspiration. I miss her videos. She's was so beautiful and Aisha. I hope that Aisha is doing well ..? Much love to you xxxx
Diagnosed in april 2019 with a rare form of saliva cancer. I now cannot speak properly as have a hole in my pallet in mouth. I have a peg in my stomach, as i now have to have liquid feed in tube. My life has totaly changed, but 99% of the time im quite happy. I dont know how long i have, as know how sudden someone can go downhill. Videos like this help me, even though most have sad outcomes, it shows how strong we all are regardless of cancer taking over our lifes
@@lauramcfee5533 if you want to find out how she is doing she's on Instagram
Never complain about growing old, it's a privilege denied to many.
Not for everyone it isn't..to grow old when u have lost your reason for living can be toture..
@@hayleydryden3137 I think this is missing the point.
@@James-nw1oj I'm there...
This is perhaps the best statement I have so far...a privilege denied to many indeed
Hayley Dryden and to lose your 'reason for living' at a young age is infinitely worse. Did you even watch the video?
‘I want to give you 40’ that broke me
That got me too, xx
what time did who said that?
Yes that's when tears started
I started balling like a baby
Same here
she found out she had stage 3 cancer and she felt bad about leaving her love behind. a truly selfless and beautiful woman who will never be forgotten.
Because of her story I found my malignant melanoma early I wish she found hers early she touched so many of us and made us get our skin checked
@@Silentafterthought hope youre ok xx
Hope you are ok hun ,sending you a bit hug xx I have MS & going through enough & have started lost menopausal bleeding after 6 yrs since my cycle stopped..I' m frightened after watching both my parents battle cancer ( mum fought breast cancer aged 60 & is now 93 yrs old) my dad had dozens of skin grafts for skin cancer ..he died of a heart attack aged 86 .Just do what dad did & out on a hard minimum of factor 50 even in the winter & get others to check your back & hard to reach places..this is how we got my dad through years of hours of melanoma .Much love & good health to you ,get better real soon luv Sophie xx
I mean isn't that the norm?
That clip was just after she'd found out about the five additional brain tumors. She had been Stage 4 at that point for a couple of years.
That was incredibly moving; Aisha "you just gave me the best four years of my life", Emily "yeah, but I want to give you forty". Did anyone not have tears in their eyes?
thats whee i went.
Crying my eyes
So beautiful 😍
I cried too, but still watch this end 2 end when it pops up. Just remember tissues are needed b4 it starts.
Such a beautiful young woman who found the love of her life. Only to sadly have her life taken way too soon
I cried throughout the whole video, her bravery was planet sized.
Heartbroken 💔 😥
This woman was a legend, and legends will never die.
she lives on in us all...whenever someone fights and never gives up till the end...thats a part of emily fighting with them!
Well said
Tickle ThyPickle She lives on in the hearts of everyone who knew her and loved her.
*Is a legend, we die when we are forgotten, but she won't :)
She died tho
“you’ve given me the best four years of my life!”
“yeah but i wanna give you forty” 🧡
Thank you for the subs. I couldn't get it clearly. So sad((
That was heart breaking
I wonted to give you 40 xx
I have been with my husband 4 years and I want it to last 40! Heartbreaking that Emily could not do that!!
@@alicjagodlewska1059 so heart breaking. i miss her youtube videos and her so much
@@LottieTargett i passed Royal Marsden Hospital last week and I could not stop thinking about her 😥😪
We will NEVER forget Emily. Nearly 4 years on, I still go back and watch her videos. She is inspiring.
Amber me too.
Emily was the first person I found when i was diagnosed with Melanoma. Fly high sweet Angel. 💗🕊💗
Me three! I started watching just after I saw her on Standup2cancer. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer Feb 2021. Had I not seen her journey, I would have had a completely different and more negative perspective on things. I’m so grateful to Emily and Aisha for sharing their lives. 🙏🏼 ❤ Jen x 🏴
We never forget, but... we wont live forever.
Can’t believe she has been gone for 5 years now. I watched every one of her videos and I was so glad to got to marry the love of her life. 😢😢😢😢
If anyone in the comments hasn’t looked at her videos I would I highly recommend it, she was amazing ❤️
emily truly lived her best life. @charl, when they say, one person can make a difference, this girl's wisdom, will, and wit to live and survive beyond her 'c' prognosis is literally and utterly beyond amazing.
Yes, she was incredible, inspirational. I think of her every day even now.
BackontheBayou I hope she realised how amazing she was. I think of her often too, and her lovely wife ❤️
@@charl366 Oh yes,and Aisha.... what a truly compassionate, strong woman. I hope she's doing OK. Like you, I think of her often as well.
Agreed ❤️
It is so sad. She was so beautiful and an incredible human being. This shouldn't happen. 😥😥
"You've given me the best 4 years of my life"
"Yeah but I want to give you 40"
This cuts too deep 😔
It hurts so much when Emily says ‘yeah but I want to give you 40 ( years ) 😢
I never met Emily or her wife but I miss Emily. I watched her videos every day. She was such an inspiration.
Rebecca Wright so did I and when she got really unwell and then passed away I actually cried and really felt it like I knew her it was just awful x
Rebecca Wright, same.... I cant believe it’s been a year already. I really miss seeing them both... she lived her very best life.... right up until the end 💕❤️🙏💕❤️🙏
I couldnt believe the day that the video was released when they said she passed away, I still dont think I understand she is gone. Ive never met her either, but I wouldve done so damn much just to try and somehow fix her cancer. I miss her
I used to watch her videos and peewee Tom's. Both amazing brave young people. Its still so shocking when you get the news they've passed away. I lost one of my best friends to cancer last month and I still can't believe he's gone. I hope Emily's family and Dan's are coping okay ❤
@Deana Jones U HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER GIRL TO AICHA HHHHHHHHHTHE POOR LADY JHHHHHHH
I stumbled upon this. Wow. I have a story. Mine is different. With this, there are good results. Two days ago (12/12/19), I celebrated being cancer-free for 39 years. I had metastatic malignant melanoma Stage 4 and was given a 15% chance of living 2 years. I won. Do your best to maintain being positive. Pray and gladly accept prayers. Do what the doctors recommend, and don't quit.
Wow you are one in a million nó? You don't often hear these stories after a stage 4 diagnosis. I'm. So happy for you
Thank you for your story. Miracles DO exist. Although, few and far between, stories like yours give me and others, hope.
congrats!
Stay well my friend....you bet cancer 💜💜
❤️🙏❤️
I followed her journey in real time and I still think about her often. She’s one of a kind.
snap I miss her. I was thinking about Aysha
So did I, and now it’s 2023 and I’m back here rewatching episode after episode
Same.
You've given me the best 4 years of my life.
But I wanted to give you 40 more. What a crushing statement. Brave woman.
Emily was truly a loss to this world, a battle so courageously fought, and unfairly lost. An inspirational young lady who helped so many, sleep peacefully dear girl.
For anyone diagnosed, it is not always the end.
I had malignant melanoma in 1998. I had just had a baby that I thought I wouldn't see grow up. Well I did, and now I'm a Grandmother!
I'm also an 11yr survivor of breast cancer. I count myself very lucky x
I was diagnosed with mm in 2012. My daughter was 12 weeks old. It was/is a scary time. 😢
@@50sRockChick all the best to you. I am in remission with triple neg breast cancer. It is a scary time. I get so much strength from Emily though. I am so proud of her and the way she lived and died.
@@50sRockChick I'm with you during this battle, a lot of people are ❤❤
@@robingarrett3171 I'm with you during this battle, a lot of people are ❤❤
Tracey Young I have heard that positive thinking help heal people. But do you have any health tips or things that helped your recovery and maintenance of health?
I miss her so much . I still watch her videos and life is really not fair to some amazing people .
This girl meant a lot to my Mum. My Mum worked at her school. Watching gogglebox catch ups. Emily, I never met you, but I know you were so strong for do long. Glad you met my mum along your journey. She'll never forget you. I can promise you that. Mrs Morris is my mum btw xxx
RIP Emily Jane Hayward Hasan (16 Jul 1993- 26 Jun 2018) (aged 24) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family.
To people who didn't follow her story, Emily fought cancer for a loooong time, since she was 17 I think. When she initially had surgery, they thought she would only have maybe six months, but she said 'nah' and lived another seven years. A fighter. Even near the end when they gave her two weeks, she lived four times that and got to be married to Aisha for two months before she died.
She was the best type of person, she brought joy wherever she went, and the fact that she shared it with us is pretty amazing.
Love this! 🥰
1.38 minutes in and I'm already crying.
We miss you Emily xx
from 17 this beautiful girl was fighting cancer.
may she rest in peace.
to die so young is a tragedy but my God dud this girl live.
free from pain. RIP EMILY
😭💔 I miss her and Dan soo much! We need to find a cure.
There is
rggtrsdg2355 tw there’s what i call “ fixes” for many conditions and i have a few. No cures sadly.
rggtrsdg2355 tw there isn’t unfortunately.
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 I hope you'll get well ❤ Much love to you and your loved ones ❤ We're all with you.
Clem Marchal Thank you😊 Fortunately i am stable . It’s a lot of work but really have hope that i have a good few years left, the doctors didn’t think so. That’s my personal experience though. Oh, just to be relevant to the t i had ovarian cyst that pretty sure was cancer . Too much other stuff to tackle though.😂
"Yeah but I wanna give you 40" That hurt..
I understand her as I want to give that to my husband.
I lost my partner Dora Hagerman on October 26th, 2018 to liver cancer. She was 46 years old, a beautiful human being, an artist (she was a dancer/choreographer) & left a 13 year old daughter. We spent a year traveling to New York for treatments based on immunotherapy for most of 2018, & I think that gave her a good extra year of quality life to one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. Chemo was suggested to us from the beginning as a treatment, but we didn’t want to, as the chances of recovery were slim to non existent...
The last thing we did before she passed away was perform in Japan (toured for a month, September 2018)...people were moved to tears by her solo performance...I miss her every day, & have had to reorganize my life (we worked together, I’m a musician). Some of Dora’s words were “If I was in a hospital, I’d be emotionally/mentally dead...as long as I can dance, I wanna burn the flame of life”...here’s to you, güerita hermosa.
Whoever’s struggling with this terrible disease & the ones close to them, I wish you nothing but the best - light & warmth your way.
Thank you for sharing, Hector.
I just cried watching this. Seeing a young vivacious woman with her whole life ahead of her & only just married to her partner, then seeing her illness slowly take her away due to a small mole. Just tragic & unfair.
During her vids they'd candidly talk about having children and Aisha having their first baby and talking about it as a future dream and it really hits hard, so unfair they didn't get the chance.
She’s so damn brave. Someone her age shouldn’t have to deal with this. Bless her.
*was
Happens a lot.
Age isn’t always the factor cancer doesn’t care
This is such a beautiful love story, there needs to be a movie of this beautiful courageous soul. 😢❤
Emily. I love you. I always will. You give me strength to get through my heart disease. My kidney disease. And my cancer. You will always live in my heart. That’s why I still watch your videos every day. You give me strength. You knew we would need you still.
Can’t believe it’s been two years. I’ll never forget Emily.
Same ♡
Cant believe it's already been nearly a year. She was such a beautiful person. I go to the same hospitals as Em use to & everytime I walk in there I think about her. I was in hospital last year for 3 weeks & I didnt realize during my stay she had an appointment. Would have been amazing to have met her.
She was such a brave & positive person no matter what life put her through.
I still watch her videos. Whether you are ill or not make the most of life, because life is just too short.
I want to thank Em for the encouragement to keep going & just live your life to the fullest.
Miss you beautiful girl! xoxox
Good luck and all the very best and warmest wishes.
@@moments007 Same.
Keep fighting, Hana! ❤️
i followed Emily's story on her own vlog - you need to watch this to truly understand what an absolute gem of a being she was. So happy, so positive, so kind. A true legend. Rest in paradise girl.
I did to and Dan's story to it's so sad you would think that they would have a cure for cancer by now unfortunately they don't my sister died this year of cancer that spread all in her body 😔
I also followed Dan aka PeeWeeToms story. Was lovely to see him and Aisha meet. Two really sad stories.
Sorry for your loss 😔 x
@@craig79819 thank you. I just wish they had a cure to be honest
There's no paradise
@@olyacarell6434 probably not for you. Take your hatred elsewhere.
We miss you alot Emily!
I wouldn’t even be able to walk, that’s how devastated I would be.
This made me cry, I hope Aisha is doing well wherever she is I wish her peace and happiness x
@@58mummybear thanks so much for letting us know Aisha's IG. I've wondered about how she was doing and now I'm following her. ❤
Absolutely love Emily's videos. So inspirational. Her and Aisha were soooooo happy. Wot is aishas IG plz x
Last I heard Aisha was doing ok. She met Peeweetoms I know. That's the last I heard.
she didnt seem to care too much
Jude Dimatteo he said it just to get a reaction, he’s such a needy soul.
I'm twice her age, but Emily Hayward Hassan is a personal hero of mine. She inspires me. She changed my life. She is in my head during my own cancer journey. Thank you for these gifts, Emily and Aisha. From someone you never met who lives almost a world away.

Also, reading the bible out loud healed my neck, made my bones, joints and whole body feel very much stronger too. I believe it can heal anything so never forget your daily bible reading out loud for a few minutes or more. Look up healing scriptures online or maybe all the bible is healing I don't know. Pray every day in Jesus' name and always Tithe faithfully, it can heal so much.
I hope you have made it through your journey! ❤️🙏❤️
She is one of my 5 life heroes. I hope her famiky knows.
Still miss her after all these years. I was heartbroken when she passed. She was such a force.
God she was a special woman who I am sure will inspire millions of people in years to come!!
WHAT A LEGACY!!!!!!
I miss you Em. x Beautiful soul you are. RIP. x
Still miss Emily, she was an amazing person. So glad Aisha has found a little love since then.
Haven't seen any updates from Aisha lately. How are you able to keep up with her?
@@Summer77700 She's on IG. She has a son now, but I haven't seen anything on there about her dating anyone.
@@sallyphillips9175 Oh, ok! Well thanks for sharing! I'm so happy for her!
I discovered Emily's Vlogs whilst suffering through major mental health issues. I cannot express the strength and encouragement I get from her insight and openness. She was truly a magical soul. Thanks Emily
So heartbreaking but she still made me smile when I wanted to cry.
Rest In Peace Emily
I was just diagnosed with melanoma and I’m scared to death. God bless this woman.
I think of you still and hope you are at peace.
Emily and Aisha... truly beautiful people.
I so miss her vlogs, it’s just not fair
She was such a lovely girl
Emily was a force to be reckoned with. So wise and smart before her years. I want to know how her wife is doing anyone?
She's doing well. She's on Instagram. She has a son too. Always posting about Emily 😊❤
@@lucyobrien1617 whats her @?
@@annrose3447 just looks for aisha hayward-hasan. she's verified.
My 34 year old daughter in law Amanda passed away on January 7 th 2019 from the same thing . Their stories sounded identical. My prayers are for a cure for all cancers .
May she rest in Peace. Stay strong💪
I’m sorry honey. If you know anyone who’s struggling,please check out the following.This is definitely the best info I’ve come across in a long time.
How Joe TIPPINS beat terminal lung cancer with $ dog dewormer medicine. It’s called FENDBENDAZOLE/ Pancura C . Another Dr had 200 mice and they all got mice , what happened was they ALL came back cancer free !
Unfortunately she ,the DR. Was diagnosed with cancer,stage 4 Glioblastoma 4 weeks later. She was told to go into hospice care and there was nothing they could do . She actually went home and cried and she thought ok if it worked for her mice ,she’s going to try it .
She took it 3 days on and 4 off I believe. She and Joe along with many other cancers ,are 6+ yrs cancer free. I know Joe was in his 50 s I believe when he got it ,huge tumour in lung plus it had spread to tissues and his organs and bones.
It actually worked. I wish I’d known about this ,I lost my 31 yr old brother from bone cancer. It’s James Templeton Wellness Center interview.,on utube.
The following I found last week and it’s the best 51 minutes I’ve seen in a long time.
IT Theory Tom Bilyeu/ Making illness a choice.
With Naveen Jain , he created a Viome . It’s definitely the way of the future diagnosis because everything begins in the gut.
You can go search Google afterwards and punch in disease and get yoyr microbiome . It would be the best Christmas present. It’s worth it. He was taking spinach and it came back that spinach for him was a do not eat food ,so he finally understood. So he created Viome,so we can treat our gut bacteria 🦠.
I hope you are ok sweetheart. ❤️🇨🇦
Im so sorry for your loss. Sending love to you and yours ❤️
Sorry for your loss and sorry especially for all the dumb comments that say that someone has found a cure using some household product.

I've never forgotten about Emily after discovering her videos on here. I found them after she died and watched lots of them, she was and continues to be such an inspiring person. I feel like she understood what's important in life despite being young. Aisha is also a very inspiring person, full of love and wisdom. Their love story is one of the sweetest I've ever seen. I'm so sorry Emily passed away so young, it isn't fair. But I'm glad she shared her wonderful self with the world. We'll never forget you.
I keep rewatching Emily's vlogs, what an absolute legend! She was incredibly strong and resilient both mentally and physically, almost super human, with the greatest attitude through it all. So young and yet so wise, I've learnt so much from her so I'll always be grateful to her for sharing her journey x
Always in our hearts dear Emm xx
I go back and watch Emily’s vlogs often. If I eat Nando’s or buy new trainers or eat sugar free sweets, I think of her. What a hero x
I followed Emily's story...and have never been more affected by anyone's story in my entire life.
Everything about her....how she lived..who she loved...impacted me, and made me look at this world completely differently.
I am forever grateful to Em and Aisha....a million times, thank you, for sharing your infinity with us.
It’s so hard to see someone so positive and energetic become so tired like that
This was pieced together WAY out of chronological order and could have been done much better. But if it gets peeps to watch Em's 267 episodes, well that's a good thing. Be prepared to smile, laugh, and cry. And cry. And cry. Miss you Em. Miss seeing you too Aish.
Johnny Mitch For Tom or member’s of his team, they probably experienced later things FIRST when meeting Em... idk that chronological applies here. Beautiful job ♥️
I came across her channel and i've started to watch them from the beginning, it breaks my heart because she was such a happy and strong person.
Slindz you should check out her vlog , I watch and rewatch over and over xoxo
I’ve just finished them and now I feel sad and depressed because she was such a wonderful human being! :(
Sam Sams awww Sam Sam . I think it hits me in waves, and then I watch them again at random times and it hits again and I get sad. There’s a joy there too, there has to be a reason we keep watching. Sending u love and light xoxo
this is why life shouldn't be taken for granted
Aisha is freaking gorgeous! Especially in her wedding dress. Stunning.
Rest In Peace Emily.
The way Aisha handled it all is so unbelievable. I never met Emily but she lived my Aunt’s hometown Croydon and I watched every video of hers. When she passed I cried all night. I missed her like she was a friend but that’s the way she made you feel when you watched her. She made you feel like family and I miss her like family ❤️
I miss her too. I watch her all the time. I never ever tíre of the vlogs. Sometimes I feel I should stop for fear I'll draw cancer into my life but I can't. Who would think a vlog with lots of cancer in it could be so uplifting so motivating and just so home to us all. She really did make us feel like friends. I'd love so so much if she was still uploading and still living and smashing her life on the daily.
She lived in Canterbury up until the last six months of her life when she lived with Aisha's parents in Bromley so she could be close to the Royal Marsden.
I watched her story real time. It was one of the saddest things I’ve seen.
I remember this. Made me cry so much
Emily’s story has made me realise that YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT SO MAKE THE MOST OF IT , what an inspirational girl full of fight right until the end , I’m just in awe of her !!!
I need to make 2020 the year all my doubts fears and moaning about shit go away and LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!
RIP xx
PS AISHA YOUR A LEDGE TOO AND ARE IN MY THOUGHTS X
She was such a beautiful girl inside and out, love and hugs to her lovely wife Aisha!
RIP sweetheart xx
I watch one Emily video every day. It reminds me to live. And live WELL. That girl is my hero. She squeezed every moment she could out of life and even though it was cut short, she proved that it is the quality not the length that is important. If you want to be inspired daily, please go watch her channel. It is uplifting in ways I can’t explain.
You’ve hit the nail on the head, I also cannot explain why I find her channel so uplifting, but it really has had an effect on me that is beneficial both for my health and for my mental outlook.
shell2727 same here
Emily and Dan
Where inspiration RIP you two xx
I only noticed this remarkable girl when the announcement of her passing came to my feed, last week. . I watched about six videos of her that day, weeping AND laughing, and falling in love with this smart, beautiful couple. I'm gutted, knowing she's gone, just now getting to know this spirited, incredible young woman, and wishing so much she was still in the world. Thank you for sharing her. I'll never forget her, and plan to watch every video. Sending love to all of you.💗💕💔💗
RIP Emily, what a beautiful, clever, funny person you were! My condolences to your loved ones.
Im happy she had love and married her soul mate. She was a bright soul. RIP the fight is over
Can't believe it's been nearly a year, Emily Hayward-Hasan you will always be a total legend. xxx
Hello Jo
How brave is this woman
I miss Emily!! Rest up Sweet Lady. You lived to the end.
RIP Emily Hayward🙏🏻💖
I found her vlog a few months ago. So sad to realise she's lost her battle with this horrible disease. God bless Aisha and the rest of her family. So unfair.
I followed Emily's journey for a long time. I remember when I found out she died I was in the garden and could not stop crying. I was a mess. She was such a strong lovely girl. Had amazing personality traits in the midst of all this pain she was thoughtful of others and wanted to spread awareness. She taught me the importance of doing weight training and taking better care of myself. Emily and her wife had a beautiful relationship which has certainly demonstrated to a lot of "sceptics" that love is love. I believe these two girls did a lot for the LGBT community just by being themselves.
Emily was such a warrior. RIP sweet Emily
I followed Emily's journey and she touched me and my heart and mind with her spirit. She and Aisha were such a wonderful couple and I can only imagine the pain Aisha is going through to find her way after Emily's passing. My sons, two of whom have brain cancer, are doing okay right now but I think that listening and watching Emily has helped me cope with what is going on and what may lie ahead. God bless Emily and thank you for sharing your life.
I wish you & your son's well & good & peaceful life
Sending you & your family love ❤️
I hope your son is all right x
@@E_w_a Thank you for your kind concern. Both of my sons are doing allright for now which is a blessing.
@@carolehanrahan thank you for the reply. Great to hear positive news. Stay strong and all the best
I watched Emily from when she first set up her YT channel never thinking the same could happen to me, but today here I am diagnosed with melanoma on the back of my thigh in Feb 2022
Never seen anyone fight so hard. So heartbreaking
I am still watching. Em inspires always. I also miss London. She could have done a food vlog,a travel vlog.
A true warrior with an out of this world personality. It’s horrible to witness such a lovely person go through this much pain.
I followed her every time she posted. I wanted the very best for her and I am sad without her in the world. I love Aisha. She is lovely.
I stil find myself going back to her Chanel to see an update about how Aisha is doing. After these few years after Emily been gone
I never met Emily but I will never forget her. Her videos were just filled with hope and joy despite everything.
i can't believe i miss someone so much that i never even met
i remember following Em around 2016 and i looked so forward to every new video and update
she lived her life to the fullest and it made me forgot how ill she truly was :(
so when i saw the update from Ayisha made my stomach drop....i miss her videos so much...if i ever believed anyone would beat such a terminal illness it was Em
rest it peace you legend ...i hope there's a paradise full of nandos and porridge bowls lol
JUST seeing this today, Feb 19, 2020 ... was JUST telling my new man about Emily & Aisha. His wife died from melanoma as well, and Emily came up in conversation. Who could EVER forget her & the love story of her & Aisha? Such a brilliant couple and whatta woman Emily was. Much love to all.
Omg I just want to give her a hug. She was so lovely
I lost my husband to malignant melanoma which spread to his brain. (Leptomeningeal carcinoma). It was a horrible rapid decline in the end. Our children were only 2&4. This has brought back memories, I can remember him trying to remember our daughters name once and being so frustrated. He was only 42 when he died.
So emotional watching these two brilliant women.
Fantastic tribute to Emily. I returned here today to remember her fight, and what an unbelievable fight she gave this cancer. Such an intelligent young girl. What tragedy! And her Aisha was there through the terrible journey and gave her so much care and love.
Absolutely agree. She was such a strong woman, and Aleisha such a loving support for Emily.
I often think of them both. RIP Emily.
One of the strongest people I’ve legit ever seen
I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart.. I so liked Emily's personality..What a smashing girl.
Oh no! My heart dropped when he said "progression in the bones", you poor soul, I am so sorry. You are so beautiful and positive. A great light to others. Heaven is blessed to have you. RIP sweetheart.
Because of her I’m going to start getting yearly skin checkups. My mom has stage 3 skin cancer but luckily they caught it just before it spread to her lymph nodes
Stage 3 means it has spread to the lymph nodes though...
Things like this make you realise how most matters are petty when you put them into context.
December the 15th 2018 I was diagnosed with nhl burketts. The doctor who did my biopsy was an ass. The nurse came to my hospital room and said the doctor wants to speak to you. Sam you have a very large mass in your stomach and someone will be getting back to you. click he hung up. all night long all I could think that I was going to die. I have received 22 blood transfusions, six months of intense chemo. Three life threatening events( close to death). I am embarrassed and ashamed that I have had cancer. It is like you are broken and kinda put back with chemicals.
RIP Emily you are brave
I grew to love this girl and her Aisha after watching her videos over the months. What an incredibly brave and strong woman she was. Even though we knew it would be soon, it was such a shock when she passed away. RIP Em xxx
