I spoke to my CNS nurse today and there’s been a bit of confusion. I will not be having any chemotherapy till I get my results in January. This makes sense because we need to know the results first. MDT meeting has not happened yet so we will know more in the new year. My last vlogmas video will be up tomorrow. Happy Christmas my loving tiffanythinks family, thank you for being the most sweetest angels. I love you a lot a lot. God bless you and your loved ones xxx💙💙💙💙💙
Happy Christmas, darling Tiff, I hope you have a lovely time with Amma, Matt, Elodie, and little angels Astin and Ella💙💙💙Lots of hugs, love, and heartfelt wishes for a peaceful Christmas time all the way from Crete!💙
Remember Tiffany, it’s a process. Like building a house, it goes stage by stage until complete. My mom went through surgery, chemo for a year and radiation at 76 years old. She just turned 92. Merry Christmas darling -
@ I’ll have to ask her - I do remember that she had two different types of cancer in her breast. She had to have two surgeries. I will tell you this, I don’t think it bothered her all that much. The day she was diagnosed, after the doctors appointment ,she went and got paint samples at Home Depot. lol - her faith is very strong. She was just told, at 92, she has a leaky heart valve and that it would gradually get worse. I said “mom, what can we do about this?” - her reaction “ oh- who cares…. Let’s go to lunch” and so we did. True.
@@Puglover130 they still do it as long as you don't have a heart or lung condition (or any other comorbidity). 70s is okay, even 80s if otherwise we'll. I've had cancer 3 years and in that time, cancer treatments have changed a lot
@@ChristyAndre62I had chemo at 82, agressive endometrial cancer, it was tough but not impossible. 6 rds. every 3 weeks, had 3 radiation, now immunotherapy. I am also facing aortic valve replacement in a few weeks. I am now 83. One day at a time. God bless all of you...have a blessed Christmas.❤❤❤
My sister tells me " Leave your worries in Gods hands"...Soak in every moment of Christmas Joy and happiness. If there's any message your journey has taught us all, every day should be celebrated. Merry Christmas Tiffany, you're at home with your family this holiday season. Love that niece and nephew a whole bunch.
Dearest Tiffany I understand that not getting your results is both a blessing and not a blessing. As a cancer patient, the amount of stress you and your loved ones go through when it comes to waiting on test results and scans is almost unbearable. My husband had colon cancer and so I know how it was for him and me as his wife. I also feel for you so much but you are the epitome of resilience and positivity. You’ve got this sweetheart ❤ Go and enjoy your Christmas with Matt, Amma and your family. Make wonderful memories for you all to look back on for years to come. Merry Christmas to the three of you and thank you so much for the incredible amount of work you have put into doing a vlog every day even in the most difficult of days. What a gift you have given to your Tiffany Thinks family! ❤️🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🎄❤️🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🎄❤️❤️🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🎄
You put that so well...I totally agree...What a beautiful gift she has given us this year through everything she has gone through and still going through...I'm going to miss not watching her everyday...But it's time for her to take care of herself...What a beautiful angel she truly is...
Not getting any results until January is a blessing. I reckon this was done intentionally. You need to enjoy this Christmas as much as possible given what you had to deal with last Christmas. Just have quality time with your favourite people ♡
Tiffany, I don't usually comment but you have become such a part of my life. I lost my 22 yo son 20 years ago and this past March my only child, died. They are both in heaven. This Christmas is hard. But I'm thankful for my 3 grand daughters and they will be here tomorrow. There is always a silver lining. I love you guys. Merry Christmas from North Carolina, USA.
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful children. They are safe in the arms of our Lord God and Jesus Christ. You will all be reunited one day but for now, you have the wonderful gift of 3 grand daughters . God Bless you and Merry Christmas ❤🙏
It's probably just bc of the holidays, a lot of specialist take that time to vacation not to mention the labs being closed and such and probably backed up with everyone trying to get in before Christmas.
I know that has to be a total shock to genuinely think that the chemo is over for now and then to find out you have another batch of cycles. It's all to make you better though so it's okay even though it is hard. My husband had to go through so much chemo and immunotherapy for his leukemia and it was so rough on him. He just wanted it to end just like you and everyone else. Cancer is so hard and you are doing amazingly well, Tiff. Merry Christmas to you all and I look forward to tomorrows vlog. I'll miss Vlogmas with you guys! I love it!
Having experienced cancer my self..I learned to NEVER tik tik tik anything. It creates to much stress..when its done its do..for the meantime. Do not do that to yourself Tiffany. Live one day at a time one issue at a time. You are Stage 4..things will always change. So for today..enjoy the moment..celebrate today.
So I am also now confused Are you definitely getting more chemo or will future sessions be dependent on the scan results and the MDT meeting outcome! I wouldn't have been happy if one of my patients was as unsure as you are having just spent 3 hours in the unit.
Sounds like she already has the next chemo scheduled that's why they put the picc line in but isn't expected to get results until after the new year. This is all likely bc the specialist are out on holiday and the lab is probably backed up with everyone getting on before Christmas for scans and such. She didn't see any specialist today, just the lab team.
I know it is confusing, but at least you can enjoy Christmas - and remember you said that whatever was today, it wouldn't stop you enjoying Christmas - so you were totally spot on with that. I'm glad Matt and your cousin could be there with you. At least you will get a good night's sleep too! Hugs to you, Tiffany.
It's good that you can enjoy Christmas without having to think about results then. I hope the last scan you had is clear and you won't need another 12 weeks of chemo! Sending positive vibes and affirmations 😊💙💙💙
Hi Tiffany. As a cancer patient, this is why I have learned to skip the anxiety (as much as possible) and not worry until they tell you to worry. I see test results that freak me out only to find out they don't matter...and other times treatment has changed and it all happens so fast you don't have a chance to worry until after.
I'm very concerned about the confusion regarding your treatment. This generates unnecessary anxiety. Please speak to someone in authority regarding this issue. Would it not be possible to get a treatment plan in writing, nothing fancy, just here's the plan. Does the UK have a patient bill of rights? They are obligated to not just inform you of treatment plans but make sure you are understanding treatment, testing, results ect. Who is doc in charge of your case? Start at top and work down. Staying faithful in prayer 🙏
I think people are off for the holiday and it seems to be a team effort.very complex case. The health services are different. The patient has urgency but medical not so much. Just my guess
i agree. In terms of treatment - brilliant. Communiation though, can be middling, to say the least. Thats how it is, and if drs spent all their time explaining it, it's taking away time from other patients who need care, too.
I agree, if it was me I would want my entire treatment plan in writing, to avoid any confusion! Just hearing things verbally, it's easy to get things mixed up and not understand.
Having a plan is extremely difficult when the cancer is in charge. Nobody knows the where, the why, the degree. So luckily the Dr has a plan for each process. What benefit would it be if he gave her a plan for if it's back in this part of her body. Or here's a different plan if it's here...then a different plan if it's this big or this big. Cancer is in control. We just keep track of it and try to control of what it throws at us. I'm sure he tells her what the plan is depending on her individual situation
@@christinelamb1167. Everyone’s cancer seems to need different programmes, (certainly so in breast cancer as there are four different types) and circumstances change from time to time so it’s difficult to have mapped out ground plan .
Merry Christmas Tiffany. I hope you can have peace in your heart and mind to enjoy your family and friends. It's the hardest thing to wait for results. I've had to do it and I know the burden you carry. We will pray for positive test results in the coming days. Love and hugs to you and your family❤️🎄❤️
Personally I think you should have a complete explanation of what is going on and how treatment etc is going to progress . It sounds as if you were given totally the wrong idea
Never feel sorry for misunderstanding. You need to celebrate small victories. You did finish 6 cycles, 12 weeks. It is worth celebrating. Keep the faith, sweet girl. We got this! Merry Christmas 🎁 and God bless you all
Hi Tiffany. I'm a radiology nurse and the scan results get reported the same day usually so it is possible you could have got the results today. The delay would probably be more like your consultant hadn't had chance to look at them or discuss them with relevant medical professionals before giving them to you. Or maybe the radiologist had too many scans to report so hasn't looked at yours yet??
Tiffany, I am in aw of how you handle everything. It is beautiful to see how you, Matt and Amma are supporting each other. You certainly got this. Have a marvelous Christmas. God bless you and your loved ones. Greatings from the Netherlands.
It is so hard to wait for results, but I hope you can put it in the back of your mind and enjoy the holidays with your family. Your in a much better spot this Christmas, so that is a positive! You are in my prayers, enjoy your Christmas. 😘
What cancer cannot do….. It cannot cripple love It cannot shatter hope It cannot corrode faith It cannot destroy peace It cannot kill friendship It cannot suppress memories It cannot silence courage It cannot invade the soul It cannot steal eternal life It cannot conquer the spirit 💙💙💙💙
To be honest, I thought it seemed quite a short period of sessions and, like someone else mentioned, I have always assumed that they meant you were having twelve sessions of treatment, every other week. I assume that they are giving you the scan at the mid point so that they can see how it's working and make the necessary adjustments if they need to. The chemo is so toxic that they wouldn't give you another six sessions if you didn't need it, but they will want to ensure that it's all totally cleared. In other words, I think you are going to be looking for them to say that the cancer is shrinking and they are optimistic that the other half of treatment will destroy all cancer cells completely. That's my reading of it anyway. I think it's all just a misunderstanding. You were measuring it in terms of weeks rather than in sessions and they just didn't pick up on the misunderstanding. Because you have been having treatment for a while now, they just assumed that you would know what was happening. It can sometimes happen that way. They just assume that you will ask if something doesn't make sense, but it did make perfect sense to you so you had no reason to question it. I don't think you should read any more into it. I don't think it helpful for people to think that you should have had the scan results by now. You've not had them that quick before and things do slow down over Christmas. I think their assumption would be that there will still be some small bits of cancer needing the second half of treatment. What they hope to tell you is that it's working well. I have just realised that I have said 'assume' rather a lot, but I think that's where the confusion came in. They assumed that you knew it was twelve sessions with a scan midway. It's unfortunate that it wasn't explained clearly, but you could also look at it that you seem to have coped remarkably well with the first half, are getting a bit of respite for Christmas, and will be rested to start again in the new year. I know it easier said than done, but try not to worry about it too much. I know there will be a niggle at the back of your mind that they're not telling you something and have decided to double up on the treatment. I know when my son was having treatment, they would try to give him a little break over Christmas if they could because it's good for your mental health to be able to have some relative normality. I remember us being given some time off and starting again on New Year's Eve. X
Here’s the thing, Tiffany, just keep on keeping on.. no expectations are the best way to proceed with stage four cancer. The chemo is definitely working, perhaps decreasing the size of the nodules, however, now, you must look more towards maintaining that progress with more chemo. Until January, just take the time to feel well, enjoy the holidays, and be here now! I’m sending big hugs your way, and I will be starting my chemo back up in January, as well! We got this!
You handled all this really well. Thank you for letting us know that the chemotherapy won't happen until you get the results in January. Take this time to enjoy your loved ones. May you have peace during this time. We are all praying for you and believing that all will turn out well for you and Matt. You are the most courageous person, you still got this. Have a wonderful Christmas and a beautiful New Year. 🥰
Tiffany, You are loved by so many people, I hope this brings you comfort. I understand your stress of not knowing your scan results, especially when you thought you’d have them now. Please try to enjoy your time with family and let them treat you like a Princess. Blessings to you and Matt.
I am being treated for non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The first session of treatments are a minimum of 6 sessions. Then a PET scan is done to check if the chemo drugs have worked their magic. If not, then more chemo sessions are needed. I have my 4th treatment on New Years Eve …..
Well I guess you don't have to worry about results for a while, so you can focus 100% on enjoying Christmas with your loved ones. Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas to you Tiffany, Matt, Alma and the whole family. We all love and care about you each and every day. My 8 year old granddaughter slept over the other night and watched your Vlogmas video with me. She commented how beautiful you are and agreed to pray for you. WE (as well as our loving GOD) got this! Please rest and enjoy your little break. 💚🎄❤️🥰
I thought you had the last lot of chemo and that's why you said "last lot of chemo". How can you be having the results in January when it'll be a further 3 months. Doesnt make sence.
She thought she was done, she thought it was 12 weeks which is 6 rounds of chemo but it's really 12 rounds of chemo so 24 weeks. The results she is waiting for is from the CT scan that they recently did, which is common to do half way thru treatment.
You and your family brighten my Day I am stage 4 and know he you feel I have started to feel happier and funny enough started to replicate your words ,a lot a lot have a happy Xmas I would love to know where you got your advent calendar
Darling girl.... Now is the time to lean into your fabulous Matt ,gorgeous Amma and loving family and enjoy your favourite time of year. Try not to let your worries about results and further treatments get you down. We have you in our prayers, and there is nothing more we want for you but a calm and peaceful Christmas with your loved ones. Love to you all and blessings as always. Happy Christmas and all my love for a brighter and healed New Year. Your friend Janice 😊 By the way you are so strong and patient and we are so proud of your resilience xxx
❤🙏 wishing you, matt and amma and all your beautiful family a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2025. Pleased you did put this video out as genuinely would have been worrying that it was bad news. ❤loads of love and prayers for you xx
Tiffany, you are such a beautiful person inside and out. I hope you know how many people are praying for you and checking up on you daily ❤ Merry Christmas!
It now makes sense when you were originally told the hair loss happens after your 6th session. I believe you had said you were getting 12 rounds but somehow it changed in your brain to 12 weeks which was only 6 rounds. Either way , that’s tough. Maybe record your meetings going forward so you can ensure what you’ve heard and also have proof if need be for negligence. Sorry this has happened to you. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. 💙
I feel so disappointed for you Tiffany, you shouldn’t feel silly. I’m glad you don’t need to have any more chemo until results. Wishing you a very Christmas to you, Matt, and your lovely mum. ❤❤
Oh darling! Poor you having all of that worry for nothing. Hope your arm feels better soon. You really are such a trooper. I’m loving the matching nails and hat combo! ❤❤❤ have the best Christmas. Sending you and your family much love, xxx
Tiffany. Don't feel silly about the mix up. You are trying to assimilate a lot of information and undergoing treatment at the same time. You are doing great handling all the pressure and living your life. Have a wonderful Christmas with Matt, Alma, and your lovely family. Good things do happen to nice people! May 2025 bring you good news and happiness! Dublin,Ireland ❤
I started watching you when you were in the hospital for your major surgeries. I became a widow around that time. Watching your videos has blessed me and helped me through my unbearable at times depression. You have such strength and positivity that YOU have encouraged me so so many times. The love of my life and I were married 60 years (I was 15 when I married) You're a beautiful soul and I watch and pray for you a lot!
That's a massive difference in expectations. Thinking this whole time you had 6 rounds total, then scans.... to find out that your scan is going to be a week later and you might need ANOTHER 6 rounds is pretty jarring. It sounds like there was a pretty major miss in communication somewhere. I know that ultimately there's nothing to really do about it, and it's not worth ruining the holidays over... but still, quite frustrating. Regardless, Merry Christmas 🎄 :> & I hope you're doing well and that the treatment goes well and things return to normal for you after these rounds are over ^-^
Oh crazy, confusion re: chemo, no scan results yet and broken picc issues, DANG IT!!!😕 Well, enjoy Christmas and then I guess it's back to the old grind. Here's to a successful next 6 chemo treatments, welcome back Baxter!!!! In the meantime I wish you and your family a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!🎄🕊❄️⭐️
Happy Christmas Tiffany and family. Sorry to hear about the mix up regarding your results. Enjoy Christmas and lots of luck for your resulrs in January.❤🙏🌲
Thank you for the update, and let us hope and pray the results are GOOD and that there will be no more chemo needed. Miracles can and do happen. Lance Armstrong the cyclist was written off, survived and is still going strong about 20 yrs later. Please try and enjoy your Christmas as best you can. No ones tomorrow is ever guaranteed, I am just sad you have had to suffer. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I know every country is different but here in American I get my results the same day in my Patient Portal. I always like to wait though before I look because I would rather here it from my doctor first 🙂
Does your hospital offer an online patient portal? Imaging only takes a couple days to result and usually patients look up their results on the patient portal. I know the impression is sometimes hard to understand but if you review results prior to appt you could have questions ready to clarify about the results instead of being hit by everything all at once and being in shock or numb? Just an idea. Seems like the CT scan 6 cycles in served as a midway check point to see what the 6 cycles did to the tumors to predict what the remaining 6 cycles may do, or to see if the regimen/doses are working or need adjustments. Stay strong & Happy Holidays! We got this!
@ true , imaging sometimes isn’t released until MD reviews it and releases the reports but I know in the US it’s a recent law that the results are available to patients. So sometimes I call patients about results and they already know the results. Maybe Tiff could have at least seen that the CT scan wasn’t resulted yet/pending online and she could have called in about that instead of having an in person appt and being told results were still not in and caught off guard. Having access to a patient portal is awesome if that’s available, especially in the tech savvy world we live in.
Merry Christmas!!!!! YOU GOT This!!! Enjoy Christmas with your sweet family and forget about cancer for now! Also Matt's laugh always makes me laugh and I heard it
So I think what tripped you up, is that you’re looking at it in calendar weeks ie, you count the skipped weeks. The doctors , when they say 12 weeks of chemo, mean 12 sessions of chemo. I totally get the confusion.
If you listen to your words you miss understood 12 weeks of chemo is that the week off does not count as you was implying.I know it's easy to get wrapped up in the hope it will be finished sooner.
Enjoy your Christmas with family, Tiffany. No one ever gained even a minute of time by worrying about what hasn’t happened yet. Blessings to all of you this Holiday season.
I just want to congratulate you on your vlogmas videos. You did it! So another 6 rounds of chemo will be fine. You are so strong and you have many people supporting you. You got this and merry Christmas to you and Matt and your beautiful family. 💜
Dearest Tiffany, do not worry about results or treatment.. It's out of our control.. Just enjoy Christmas with Matt, Amma and all your loved ones 😍🌲wishing you all a very merry Christmas
Enjoy Christmas Day. You look tired my darling Tiff. Rest rest and more rest with your family. God bless you. I have a Tiff bauble on my Christmas tree that I got for you a couple of years ago. Love from The Yorkshire Wolds xx
Try and have a good Christmas Tiffany and I'm.keeping everything crossed for you , you get good results after Christmas with no.more chemo .... Happy Christmas to you Matt Amma and family 💙💙💙
So sorry you didn’t get any results. I live in the US with private insurance and I haven’t experienced so much confusion as you have had the last couple of years. Happy Christmas to you and Matt and your mom!
And a lot of people in USA aren't getting any of the best treatments for cancer as they don't have the insurance. At least in the UK absolutely everyone has free cancer treatment with the only financial worry being about not being able to work. We do also have private healthcare and even that isn't perfect I have found.
I spoke to my CNS nurse today and there’s been a bit of confusion. I will not be having any chemotherapy till I get my results in January. This makes sense because we need to know the results first. MDT meeting has not happened yet so we will know more in the new year. My last vlogmas video will be up tomorrow.

Yup the Royal Marsden screwed up on this one big time. And Christmas time at that!
Whenever I went to my cancer dr I always recorded the appointment.
Never feel sorry for misunderstanding. You need to celebrate small victories. You did finish 6 cycles, 12 weeks. It is worth celebrating. Keep the faith, sweet girl. We got this! Merry Christmas 🎁 and God bless you all
Hi Tiffany. I'm a radiology nurse and the scan results get reported the same day usually so it is possible you could have got the results today. The delay would probably be more like your consultant hadn't had chance to look at them or discuss them with relevant medical professionals before giving them to you. Or maybe the radiologist had too many scans to report so hasn't looked at yours yet??
Exactly my thoughts but with a twist check out my thoughts below
Tiffany, I am in aw of how you handle everything. It is beautiful to see how you, Matt and Amma are supporting each other. You certainly got this. Have a marvelous Christmas. God bless you and your loved ones. Greatings from the Netherlands.
Your doctors have a plan and you don't have bad news. All good to enjoy Christmas with your family now. Merry Christmas.
It is so hard to wait for results, but I hope you can put it in the back of your mind and enjoy the holidays with your family. Your in a much better spot this Christmas, so that is a positive! You are in my prayers, enjoy your Christmas. 😘
What cancer cannot do…..
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit
💙💙💙💙

This is so true ❤
I love this... it has made me feel so much more positive .
Thank you. AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏

To be honest, I thought it seemed quite a short period of sessions and, like someone else mentioned, I have always assumed that they meant you were having twelve sessions of treatment, every other week. I assume that they are giving you the scan at the mid point so that they can see how it's working and make the necessary adjustments if they need to. The chemo is so toxic that they wouldn't give you another six sessions if you didn't need it, but they will want to ensure that it's all totally cleared. In other words, I think you are going to be looking for them to say that the cancer is shrinking and they are optimistic that the other half of treatment will destroy all cancer cells completely. That's my reading of it anyway.
I think it's all just a misunderstanding. You were measuring it in terms of weeks rather than in sessions and they just didn't pick up on the misunderstanding. Because you have been having treatment for a while now, they just assumed that you would know what was happening. It can sometimes happen that way. They just assume that you will ask if something doesn't make sense, but it did make perfect sense to you so you had no reason to question it. I don't think you should read any more into it. I don't think it helpful for people to think that you should have had the scan results by now. You've not had them that quick before and things do slow down over Christmas. I think their assumption would be that there will still be some small bits of cancer needing the second half of treatment. What they hope to tell you is that it's working well.
I have just realised that I have said 'assume' rather a lot, but I think that's where the confusion came in. They assumed that you knew it was twelve sessions with a scan midway. It's unfortunate that it wasn't explained clearly, but you could also look at it that you seem to have coped remarkably well with the first half, are getting a bit of respite for Christmas, and will be rested to start again in the new year. I know it easier said than done, but try not to worry about it too much. I know there will be a niggle at the back of your mind that they're not telling you something and have decided to double up on the treatment.
I know when my son was having treatment, they would try to give him a little break over Christmas if they could because it's good for your mental health to be able to have some relative normality. I remember us being given some time off and starting again on New Year's Eve. X
Merriest Christmas to one special couple and your beautiful families..🎄⛄️
Here’s the thing, Tiffany, just keep on keeping on.. no expectations are the best way to proceed with stage four cancer. The chemo is definitely working, perhaps decreasing the size of the nodules, however, now, you must look more towards maintaining that progress with more chemo. Until January, just take the time to feel well, enjoy the holidays, and be here now! I’m sending big hugs your way, and I will be starting my chemo back up in January, as well! We got this!
You handled all this really well. Thank you for letting us know that the chemotherapy won't happen until you get the results in January. Take this time to enjoy your loved ones. May you have peace during this time. We are all praying for you and believing that all will turn out well for you and Matt. You are the most courageous person, you still got this. Have a wonderful Christmas and a beautiful New Year. 🥰
So glad you are having a Christmas free from results. Enjoy Christmas with your loved ones.
Tiffany, You are loved by so many people, I hope this brings you comfort. I understand your stress of not knowing your scan results, especially when you thought you’d have them now. Please try to enjoy your time with family and let them treat you like a Princess. Blessings to you and Matt.
I am being treated for non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The first session of treatments are a minimum of 6 sessions. Then a PET scan is done to check if the chemo drugs have worked their magic. If not, then more chemo sessions are needed. I have my 4th treatment on New Years Eve …..
Do you not ring the bell at end of chemo in UK?
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Prayers the new year will be a good one for you.
"Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord. for our hope is in you alone." Psalm 33:22 Merry Christmas, Tiffany!
I said a prayer for you in church today Tiffany God Bless, have a beautiful Christmas ❤❤ xxxx
🙏🏻💙
Well I guess you don't have to worry about results for a while, so you can focus 100% on enjoying Christmas with your loved ones. Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas !! We’ve got this !!! Love to all !!!❤
🙏🏻♥️🎄
Merry Christmas Tiffany! 🎄 I hope you can put everything dealing with cancer out of your mind for awhile! Enjoy the holiday's!🎉❤
Merry Christmas to you Tiffany, Matt, Alma and the whole family. We all love and care about you each and every day. My 8 year old granddaughter slept over the other night and watched your Vlogmas video with me. She commented how beautiful you are and agreed to pray for you. WE (as well as our loving GOD) got this! Please rest and enjoy your little break. 💚🎄❤️🥰
lovely 💙🙏🏻💫🧑🎄Merry Christmas 🎄to you and your grand baby
I thought you had the last lot of chemo and that's why you said "last lot of chemo". How can you be having the results in January when it'll be a further 3 months. Doesnt make sence.
She thought she was done, she thought it was 12 weeks which is 6 rounds of chemo but it's really 12 rounds of chemo so 24 weeks. The results she is waiting for is from the CT scan that they recently did, which is common to do half way thru treatment.
No news is good news Tiffany! Wishing you positive results, no more chemo and beautiful memories with Matt and your family ❤🎅🏻
You and your family brighten my Day I am stage 4 and know he you feel I have started to feel happier and funny enough started to replicate your words ,a lot a lot have a happy Xmas I would love to know where you got your advent calendar
Merry Christmas Tiffany I have been praying for you for the best results ever. Sending all my love to you, Matt, Omma and all your family. XO
Darling girl....
Now is the time to lean into your fabulous Matt ,gorgeous Amma and loving family and enjoy your favourite time of year. Try not to let your worries about results and further treatments get you down.
We have you in our prayers, and there is nothing more we want for you but a calm and peaceful Christmas with your loved ones.
Love to you all and blessings as always.
Happy Christmas and all my love for a brighter and healed New Year.
Your friend
Janice 😊

Sending love to you, Matt, Amma, on this Christmas Eve. Don’t think about anything but being together with family at Christmas. ❤️🎄💙☃️💚🌟
You two need to get married so you can enjoy all the time you have together.
Wishing light and positivity to you Matt And your precious family
Merry Xmas Tiffany! Hope you enjoy some peace this time of year
❤🙏 wishing you, matt and amma and all your beautiful family a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2025. Pleased you did put this video out as genuinely would have been worrying that it was bad news. ❤loads of love and prayers for you xx
Been thinking about you all day. Hope you manage to have a lovely Chrismas day with your family. You got this xx
Tiffany, you are such a beautiful person inside and out. I hope you know how many people are praying for you and checking up on you daily ❤ Merry Christmas!
It now makes sense when you were originally told the hair loss happens after your 6th session. I believe you had said you were getting 12 rounds but somehow it changed in your brain to 12 weeks which was only 6 rounds. Either way , that’s tough. Maybe record your meetings going forward so you can ensure what you’ve heard and also have proof if need be for negligence. Sorry this has happened to you. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. 💙
Yup, they did say 12, hair loss after the 6th one. Clear as can be.
Merry Christmas, Tiffany, Matt, and Amma!! Continuing to pray for you!
Merry Christmas Tiffany! 🎄I hope you have the best Christmas and that you get the best results! 💙💙
Lovely Tiffany, all will be well in time 💙
Happy Christmas Tiffany , Matt and all your loved ones ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why does Matt not wear WE GOT THIS MERCH . anymore ?
Enjoy Christmas with Matt, Amma and the rest of your family. Take care 💙💙🎅🎄🎉
Happy Christmas Tiffany, I hope you and your family have a fabulous time. Thinking of you ❤
I feel so disappointed for you Tiffany, you shouldn’t feel silly. I’m glad you don’t need to have any more chemo until results. Wishing you a very Christmas to you, Matt, and your lovely mum. ❤❤
Merry Christmas Tiffany and family. Stay strong girl. We got this!
Merry Christmas, Tiffany…to you and your family. Just relax and enjoy till after the new year. Xx♥️🙏🎄

Tiffany.
Don't feel silly about the mix up. You are trying to assimilate a lot of information and undergoing treatment at the same time. You are doing great handling all the pressure and living your life.
Have a wonderful Christmas with Matt, Alma, and your lovely family.
Good things do happen to nice people!
May 2025 bring you good news and happiness!

Aw Merry Xmas 🎄🎄
I started watching you when you were in the hospital for your major surgeries.
I became a widow around that time. Watching your videos has blessed me and helped me through my unbearable at times depression.
You have such strength and positivity that YOU have encouraged me so so many times.
The love of my life and I were married 60 years (I was 15 when I married)
You're a beautiful soul and I watch and pray for you a lot!
That's a massive difference in expectations. Thinking this whole time you had 6 rounds total, then scans.... to find out that your scan is going to be a week later and you might need ANOTHER 6 rounds is pretty jarring. It sounds like there was a pretty major miss in communication somewhere.
I know that ultimately there's nothing to really do about it, and it's not worth ruining the holidays over... but still, quite frustrating.
Regardless, Merry Christmas 🎄 :> & I hope you're doing well and that the treatment goes well and things return to normal for you after these rounds are over ^-^
Christmas blessings filled with lots of love and hope!! 🎅🎄🩵
Oh crazy, confusion re: chemo, no scan results yet and broken picc issues, DANG IT!!!😕 Well, enjoy Christmas and then I guess it's back to the old grind. Here's to a successful next 6 chemo treatments, welcome back Baxter!!!! In the meantime I wish you and your family a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!🎄🕊❄️⭐️
Happy Christmas Tiffany and family. Sorry to hear about the mix up regarding your results. Enjoy Christmas and lots of luck for your resulrs in January.❤🙏🌲
Thank you for the update, and let us hope and pray the results are GOOD and that there will be no more chemo needed. Miracles can and do happen. Lance Armstrong the cyclist was written off, survived and is still going strong about 20 yrs later. Please try and enjoy your Christmas as best you can. No ones tomorrow is ever guaranteed, I am just sad you have had to suffer. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I know every country is different but here in American I get my results the same day in my Patient Portal. I always like to wait though before I look because I would rather here it from my doctor first 🙂
Does your hospital offer an online patient portal? Imaging only takes a couple days to result and usually patients look up their results on the patient portal. I know the impression is sometimes hard to understand but if you review results prior to appt you could have questions ready to clarify about the results instead of being hit by everything all at once and being in shock or numb? Just an idea.
Seems like the CT scan 6 cycles in served as a midway check point to see what the 6 cycles did to the tumors to predict what the remaining 6 cycles may do, or to see if the regimen/doses are working or need adjustments.
Stay strong & Happy Holidays! We got this!
I don't think this would happen in NHS. Gp. Blood tests etc, but not CT scans / MRI or pet scans.
@ true , imaging sometimes isn’t released until MD reviews it and releases the reports but I know in the US it’s a recent law that the results are available to patients. So sometimes I call patients about results and they already know the results.
Maybe Tiff could have at least seen that the CT scan wasn’t resulted yet/pending online and she could have called in about that instead of having an in person appt and being told results were still not in and caught off guard. Having access to a patient portal is awesome if that’s available, especially in the tech savvy world we live in.
I always see my results before my doctor lol, I look them up right away
Merry Christmas!!!!! YOU GOT This!!! Enjoy Christmas with your sweet family and forget about cancer for now! Also Matt's laugh always makes me laugh and I heard it
So I think what tripped you up, is that you’re looking at it in calendar weeks ie, you count the skipped weeks.
The doctors , when they say 12 weeks of chemo, mean 12 sessions of chemo. I totally get the confusion.
If you listen to your words you miss understood 12 weeks of chemo is that the week off does not count as you was implying.I know it's easy to get wrapped up in the hope it will be finished sooner.
Enjoy your Christmas with family, Tiffany. No one ever gained even a minute of time by worrying about what hasn’t happened yet. Blessings to all of you this Holiday season.
So true! ❤
Merry Christmas Tiffany , wish you all the best for the new year.
I just want to congratulate you on your vlogmas videos. You did it! So another 6 rounds of chemo will be fine. You are so strong and you have many people supporting you. You got this and merry Christmas to you and Matt and your beautiful family. 💜
Dearest Tiffany, do not worry about results or treatment.. It's out of our control.. Just enjoy Christmas with Matt, Amma and all your loved ones 😍🌲wishing you all a very merry Christmas
I will offer up a special prayer for you tonight at midnight mass. Love you and your family a lot a lot ❤
Enjoy Christmas Day.
You look tired my darling Tiff. Rest rest and more rest with your family. God bless you. I have a Tiff bauble on my Christmas tree that I got for you a couple of years ago. Love from The Yorkshire Wolds xx
Celebrate it all, dear Tiffany.
They didn’t give you the wig yet for just in case????
My hope is that twelve weeks of chemo will really blow this cancer out of the air! Better too much than not enough.
Not necessarily
Try and have a good Christmas Tiffany and I'm.keeping everything crossed for you , you get good results after Christmas with no.more chemo .... Happy Christmas to you Matt Amma and family 💙💙💙
So sorry you didn’t get any results. I live in the US with private insurance and I haven’t experienced so much confusion as you have had the last couple of years. Happy Christmas to you and Matt and your mom!
And a lot of people in USA aren't getting any of the best treatments for cancer as they don't have the insurance. At least in the UK absolutely everyone has free cancer treatment with the only financial worry being about not being able to work. We do also have private healthcare and even that isn't perfect I have found.
Ah yes the wonderful health care in the US . Where not everything is covered by private insurance and you can go bankrupt.
