    Some of you have asked me to make merch and I have not really thought much of it but now getting my own t-shirts/hoodies/sweatshirts with my message on it feels incredible. If you want to get something from this limited collection, link is www.bonfire.co...
    I am always saying WE GOT THIS in real life and online. We all have our own struggles and I believe we can get through anything together. When I was diagnosed with cancer in September, I thought this was my own struggle but I realised my cancer has affected everyone around me. I am a daughter, a girlfriend, a sister, a friend, a cousin, a grand daughter & more. I know my journey has affected everyone around me and I know now more than ever that I have no choice but to get better. Whatever life throws at us, we are going to get through it together. We Got This
    love you lots xxx WE GOT THIS

    You look wonderful tonight. I remember caring for my father after his ileostomy. He first had colon cancer in his late 30’s. The mental work required was the most difficult part for him. Self image was not healthy. He was the sole provider for our family of 7 and had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Difficult days. PLEASE set up some zoom appointments with a therapist to help with the emotional and mental journey. Join a support group with others living with the appliance for tips and tricks. Self care is not just physical, during your adaptation. I want to share with you that my father lived another 23 years with good health. A couple bumps in the road but nothing he couldn’t take on. There is NOTHING he couldn’t do, even bought himself a ski boat and took up water skiing! He lived his life to the absolute fullest and was grateful every day for that surgery that allowed him more life, to watch all his children grow up, meet his grandchildren and enjoy life with my Mother. Tiffany, people love you. They see you exactly the same and just want you with them. You are now even more beautiful to everyone. Thank you for bringing this lifesaving surgery out in the open, to your followers. All the very best wishes for a long and happy life!❤

    Tiffany- it’s been 2 years since I went through chemo, radiation and surgery for advanced rectal cancer. I’m still processing all that I’ve been through. And while the treatments saved my life I have a variety of side effects that I live with every day and most likely will for the rest of my life. I say all this to let you know that there is a significant emotional component to recovery. While the physical surgery is straightforward (mostly) to understand what’s been done to your body, the emotional impact is far less easy to identify and understand. I think you will find that it takes an extended period of time to mentally adjust and adapt to what you’ve been through. So don’t feel like you have to rush any of this along. I discovered your channel because I’ve been using online resources to help me cope with my cancer journey. Most of my treatment was done during Covid, so there were no support groups available for me to participate in. Your channel has been very helpful to me and I thank you for all the effort you’ve invested to create content. I did go back in time and watch some of your very early content when you were just 23. It’s amazing to see how you have matured since then. Though I suppose a cancer diagnosis would force quick maturation. Your positive attitude will help you greatly. You are so thoughtful about others and now is the time for you to think mostly about what you need. I was thrilled to see your smiling face. Create content when you can and when you are ready. I wish you the best with your recovery. And always prayers for you and your family.

      May God bless you and keep you as you also continue your recovery. Some of us don't appreciate that any one of us may be facing cancer one day. I lost two younger sisters to cancer, one was 59 and the other 63 (colon and pancreatic cancer respectively). Both were diagnosed too late to be treated. Fortunately, you and Tiff were able to get lifesaving care, as hard as it is for you both. I am glad you are still here with us until the day our Lord calls us, and until then, take care of the gift of life you have and call on Him when you are feeling discouraged. 'Am sending best wishes your way.

    Hi girl! It’s so good to see you again!! Please don’t apologize for taking time off and take care of yourself. I had a similar surgery 12 years ago and I remember how fragile and how difficult was to see myself with an ileostomy bag. You will learn to manage your new life. At the beginning is going to be frustrating and you will have good and bad days. I remember how my three kids and husband took turns to help me with my bag and leaned how to cope together as a family with the new me. In my case after 4 months of recovery I had my ileostomy reversed because they managed to removed a large part of my colon and my rectum and a total hysterectomy. I my youngest daughter was 12 at that time and told me after explaining to her my surgery “then mommy you are hollow inside!” And that was exactly how I felt for long time. But believe me some days I miss my ileostomy bag because my reconnecting journey was so difficult. I will continue praying for you and let your family and friends to help you because they want the best for you. By the way I am a grandma now and my little granddaughter call me Amma. Kisses and hugs for your sweet Amma because this must be so difficult for her as well.

    May I say that I felt all along that the aftermath of surgery, living with the reality of it was always going to be the hardest. A life without cancer will come with a daily cost to you. You don't deserve that, it is unfair and awful. You are allowed to feel bad about that. Don't ever spologise for not updating us when we all know you are going through so much. Give yourself some grace. Be kind to yourself Tiffany. Nothing in life stays the same, not good, not bad. This will change and you can be sure of that.

    My dear Tiff I’m so happy to see you. You look stronger and more beautiful than ever!😊. Don’t worry about us. We understand and we can wait for you. There’s no rush Tiffany. You need time and that’s okay. You need to give yourself some time and get stronger physically and mentally. Do you have a therapist? Because honestly you need one. You can talk to him/her through FaceTime or Zoom! Maybe some anti-depressants can help you also. These changes aren’t easy. It’s like taking baby steps again. You are not selfish please don’t say that. You have to FORGIVE AND LOVE YOURSELF. And you need to take a mirror, look at yourself and see the sweet and lovely woman that you are to others! You need to treat yourself the same way Tiff because right now YOU ARE FIRST AND THEN ARE THE REST MY DEAR FRIEND. I’m a woman that’s been living with Bipolar, Depression and Anxiety for more than 20 years. It’s not easy to live with mental illness. To be “stable”, or try my best to be able to do my things because I live alone. But don’t worry or feel sorry for me because I know how to work with myself. Psychiatrist and Psychologist, oh, and I can’t forget my meds. This doesn’t go away but thanks to God you have Amma, Matt, your loving family and US!!! 😊😊😊. So my dearest warrior heads up, you will conquer this Tiff you will !!! Love you❤❤❤💚💚💚. WE GOT THIS 💙💙💙

You have to give your emotions as well as your body a chance to heal. The emotional part of it can be every bit as hard as the surgical recovery. We love you, your friends love you, your family loves you. No one is going to fault you for taking this journey at your own pace. We’ll be here waiting for you no matter how long it takes. It did my heart good to see you but I can feel your pain..both physical and emotion. 😢 hugs, Tiffany ❤❤

You're one of the strongest and kindest person I've come across (online and in real life).

    I wish I could give you an enormous ( yet gentle) hug. I’m sending you so many virtual hugs & hoorays for your incredible progress , courage & thoughtfulness. Even during this difficult challenging moment in your life, you are apologizing for choosing yourself 1st. Woman , you are the sweetest & selfless type of soul I strive to be. As a proud member of your Tiffany Thinks Family, I firmly encourage you to CHOOSE YOURSELF 1st! Be selfish , do what’s right for you & do not apologize for it. Never apologize for taking care of yourself. Your T.T. Family & your real life family understands. I promise you that we do.
    All we want is for you to feel & get better asap. Updates & videos are so nice , bc we do enjoy hearing from you. We understand that those updates will be at the pace & timing that you deem fit. Please don’t feel pressured to produce content at this time.
    I’m praying for your smooth recovery & praying it happens as soon as it is possible. Take this time to “ baby “ yourself & let others “baby “ & help you too. As much as many ( if not all) of us would want to help you through this, we know you will be the one doing the “hard work “, of healing , learning & adjusting. So, THIS is certainly the time to be “selfish” .
    Thank you for sharing this update with us. You are a champ & one of the strongest people I’ve learned about. You are beautiful & are looking great .
    Thank you for allowing me to share with you, in this lengthy comment.
    Ps. Ama, Matt , Your Sister & all of your loved ones are also in my thoughts & prayers. May peace , patience & support fill your hearts , minds & lives during this challenging time.
    Sending so much love from Wisconsin, USA .

    Hi Tiffany, honey it is so wonderful to hear from you. You are the sweetest little bundle of joy in my life. You are right baby girl you have to put yourself first, nobody feels otherwise. We are all just waiting for you. Nobody is holding anything against you not posting, although I never had a surgery like you had, surgery is surgery some are more intense then others. Iam sure everyone understands. You will continue to be in my prayers everyday. It all hasn’t been that long since your surgery, please give yourself a chance to get better, but dwelling on what they did and how weak you must still feel isn’t going to help you feel better, you had mega major surgery and it is going to take time. Please set small goals for yourself. Whatever you feel up to doing in the morning, set that goal. Then late morning the same. During the day try to go outside even if it for two minutes. Inhale and breath it out two or three times. Do this two or three times a day as you feel up to it. Take in the sunshine as much as you can. Remember give god all the glory honey. Stand up in the face of the enemy and tell him he is a liar, tell him god saw you all through this walk and you are victorious in Jesus’ name claim your healing. Our God has brought you through this. Now everyday your gaining strength. You will feel stronger I promise. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever he changes not !!! Please let Amma and Matt know I think of them as well and are in my prayers as well. Love you sweetheart, all my love ❤ Marilyn Queen from New Jersey USA 🇺🇸

I know you have some adjustments, and changes that have impacted your everyday living, I’m praying that you will adapt and move forward with living your life. Take as much time as you need to heal mentally/physically/emotionally….we will always be here for you. No apologies needed as you are not letting anyone down. Rest is your most important goal right now, not phone calls, text or filming videos. If you feel good one day make a short clip like you said, don’t stress or try to sit up to edit. Time heals everything, and God’s got you. We all love you and want you to recover and heal. You are so strong, bless your sweet heart for thinking about us when you should be doing exactly what you are doing “recovering”. YOU 💙 GOT 💙 THIS 💙 TIFFANY 💙🥰❤🙏🏾

I can’t do what I used to in my 20’s😞 It all started when I had my last baby at the age of 32. My hip came out of place and broke when my baby was 4 weeks old😢 I couldn’t be there for my new baby and my other 3 children😞 I’m 42 now and just got a revision 6 months ago and it made my pain worse!! So now I have to use a cane and walker to walk😢😢 My depression is really bad right now!! I love watching your videos cuz I can kind of relate even tho that I don’t have cancer.

    Tiffany, firstly I want to say “welcome back”!
    Funny thing, we are strangers but I feel like we are besties at the same time.
    It is amazing when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, authentic and raw that the angles in our universe go to work and brings people (including strangers) together. Hand picked each of us to see you through this in communication and a heck of a lot of prayers. In turn we were gifted with a life lesson in humanity.
    Suggestion for healing purposes; try standing naked in front of a mirror and get reacquainted with the new you. This allows you an opportunity to connect visually and mentally to the changes. You may feel nervous, scared, cry and even laugh about this a bit. Take your time at this and you may want to do this a few times to draw out the confidence that you already have. Your confidence is a little shaken, look out when it shines once again.
    I am certain that your healthcare providers spoke to you about the possibly of experiencing depression. Situational depression, temporary from the trauma that you have just experienced. Lots of learning ahead of you but eventually a day will come when you look at your bag and refer to it as “oh that old thing” !
    You did it Tiffany! Your healthcare team are Super Hero’s for doing the work that they all do.
    So, please don’t spend too much time wanting to be alone. You need that right now but don’t get stuck there. The critical parts of your cancer journey chapter (getting through surgery) has ended. When you are ready, you will need to start the next chapter. Healing (painful, discomfort, learning, managing the changes mental and emotional well-being) and back to living your life again. Visiting, celebrating, enjoying tea and coffee out with friends and family. Getting dressed up, makeup and dancing around the house to wonderful music.
    Remember, WE GOT THIS! You are a ROCKSTAR!

    When you have major internal surgery, it takes a long time for your body to brain to recover from the shock to the system. Take all of the time you need to recover. I spent over a month in hospital after my surgery. In addition, I took the entire summer to allow yourself to recover. It is a physical, emotional psychological process. Even when you are feeling much better, you need to be prepared for the psychological challenges that will arise. Do not push yourself to do more faster. Don’t put any pressure on yourself. Take it easy. You actually need to be selfish right now, until everything is sorted out. It is a very difficult time and situation. I have been there and know what it is like. After finally having a digestive system that sort of works, I am always dealing with chronic pain and now have chronic pancreatitis, which means I am often not able to eat. I no longer produce digestive enzymes and have to take them and painkillers regularly. I take the anti sickness pills many times a day as well as other medications. Because my pancreas is not functioning well, I am now also diabetic as well. We all live complicated lives.

    Dear Tiffany, im so glad you’ve posted. i kept checking but I wasnt overly worried as I knew the surgery would be intense. Ive been watching you for ages, but it never seemed the right time to post until now. my name is Susan and I live in the US--in the state of NJ. I must say your sweet countenance adds so much to your story. You’re so brave as well and thank you for being so open with us. Im so sorry you’ve gone thru so much pain. Your smile brightens my day and you have such a positive outlook. Im cheering for you across the pond. Matt is just precious and so is your sweet, devoted mama. Its nice to see you all living together, helping one another. A movie should be made about your story someday! Im currently going through tests myself, because theres a chance I have cancer as well. i do keep you in my prayers. i know God has a wonderful plan for your life. Just keep being yourself and thank you for keeping us posted on your progress❤🎉❤❤❤

    Good morning from New Zealand Tiffany. I'm so happy that you are on the road to recovery. Listening to your story as a with a colostomy I completely understand how you are feeling. Nothing on this world can or coukd prepare you for a life with and ostomy, illeostomy or a urostomy. I felt exactly the same when arriving home I was on my own and having so much change in your lifestyle was the hardest part. There are days when I still struggle I'm not going to lie. But we warriors you and I and you will eventually make this your new normal. Cry if you need to take as much time as you have to it's your body and your change and it's on💙 many blessings to you I will say a special prayer for you. If you need any advice on illeostomy, questions your nurses can not help with or just want to vent you can message me. Or there are many fb chat rooms for people with similar bags and they are all amazing. Keep well remember YOU GOT THIS 💙
