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

Hi Tiffany things will get better and better now your home
But this vid brought me to tears everything will be fine Tiffany 😥💙💙🫂
Hi Tiffany, I’ve worked as a nurse for 30 years and wanted to reassure you that how you’re feeling is how every patient feels when they’re in a room by themselves for more than a week. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You’ve been through such a lot, but you’re young and strong. Try and take it just one day at a time. You’re so loved by so many ❤
So well said! ♥️♥️♥️
❤❤❤❤❤
You are Tiffany! You are young and strong, it must be hard, but you’ve got this ok? 📖💙
I’ve also noticed how organized! Good for you girl!😘
I used to nurse you are so right I was in hospital for weeks with my second pregnancy that feeling of isolation long days and lots of thinking time
your videos inspire me to drag myself outta my bed and do what i can while i can... im terminally ill... ive been on hospice for a year and a half so im on borrowed time. ive had 33 operations... in august they removed my entire left leg and two weeks later half of my right foot... im not suffering from cancer.... i dont have any chance of survival. im a life long diabetic... my vascular system is shot. i have several different illnesses racing one and other to take me down... unlike your situation i wont get better. i cant be healed... and im a solo act. i dont have all the loving family you do... so that dark place that you find yourself in time to time is where i lived. then i found you.... and you totally brought me out into the light... your optimism and infectious smile.... totally give me the boost i needed.... i feel like you express all the emotions i feel. the extended hospital stays... the longest ive pulled was a little over 3 months... i felt as if id been in prison when i got out.... the side to side or evn worse in my case flat of my back.... its almost impossible to stay on your side with only one leg... i never knew laying could be so painful. i feel every nut and bolt in this bed. while i havent had organs removed i have had limbs and digits removed. before they were amputated they literally died and decomposed.... so traumatic... to change my dressings and throw away pieces of me with the trash. complete with all the sights and smells one would expect... i pushed my friends away because i was ashamed of the disgusting sights and smells... you are such a beautiful young lady.... i was never one of the beautiful people. i was abundantly average... but somewhere along my journey my body has become this trap that i feel stuck in. i also have the chronic pain. i wear fentanyl patches and that comes with all the side effect and nausea... so i have to choose between being in pain or being nauseous.... so im with you.... i relate so much to all these things you choose to share with us. i dont know that i could be as open and brave. i feel so vulnerable i dont know i could be so transparent. i love and admire the strength you have. i dont know how much time i have... but im gonna be a fan til my journey ends. if i could id take on your pain and gladly gift you my time and energy to use in your battle. the world needs people like you... people like me need people like you. im not a leader like you are... im just a loyal follower. i thank you for doing this for us. you will be in my thoughts and prayers.... sending love and get well wishes my friend. you got this ;)
💙💙
Praying for you! This is such a beautiful message! Stay strong!!💖🙏
Thanks for such a heartfelt message! Sending all good thoughts to you on your journey ❤
God bless you my friend xxx
You are not alone sir. We will all support you. God bless you xx
As a mother, every time I see Amma my heart aches. I can’t explain it. My heart goes out to her. Sending Tiffany, Amma and Matt love, prayers and hugs. We got this 💙💙 tick ✅ tick ✅ tick ✅ 💙🎬🎬🎬
My darling, Tiffany...when you think that there's "hardly anything left" of you, please remember that you still have your beautiful heart...the LOVELIEST part of you! Praying that each day gets better and those words that you long for come soon! You are loved! We got this! 💙
Well said!!! ❤
What a beautiful comment ❤
😭👏💖
Wow, I just said this in my comment above (before seeing yours)!! YESSSSS, Her heart is the loveliest part of her!!!! One day at a time Tiffany!!!!!! We got this!!!
Beautiful comment
My dear girl, I'm only just now having tests ,cholonoscopy ,CT scan etc & I am so worried,and came across your blog .
At age 70 I think, if this beautiful soul can face what she's had to face at such a young age , with such grace & courage then I'll do all I can to face what
ever is ahead
So please dear Tiffany, the only piece of advice I would like to pass on to you is, please live in the moment, none of us can alter the past or guarantee our future. You've bravely done all you can
So just live in the moment.
You are such an inspiration. Bless you ,& all support system. Thank You & God Bless.
We love you, Tiffany. May God hold you in every way. ❤️
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Turn everything over to God!! Rest everything on God!! It is out of your hands and and God has got this!!
Tiffany, you dont realize how much progress you’ve made while in the hospital. You look good, your skin and hair are healthy , your voice is strong, and you are a decent weight. You couldn’t even speak the first few days. Now, being home, I’m sure you are even further on in your recovery. I don’t know how you’ve done it and mainly stayed in good spirits. It’s natural to get down and depressed, especially when you are alone in the room. There is nothing like getting showered and having one’s hair washed. Your hair is thick and glorious - that’s a good sign. My mother had a stoma bag for over 20 years after colon cancer surgery. She adapted to it very well; you will as well after you get used to it. Can’t wait to see you at home. Tik, Tik, Tik. I haven’t watched Emily in Paris this season; maybe I’ll get to it. I think Parisians were annoyed by it, but it’s meant to be silly and over the top.
She doesn't look sick at all.
I'm a nurse! Tubes, bags and stitches don't bother me. You are right about sleep Tiffany, you are healing when you sleep. I would be surprised if you didn't worry about the surgical margins but there really isn't anything you can do about that so please try not to worry. I think you look so good considering what you have been through. I am praying for your recovery. 💕🙏🏼
Hi Tiffany, thank you again for sharing♥️ I so hope that you're recovering well now at home. I understand about wanting to be on your own but your Amma and darling Matt love you so much so let them spoil you a bit k? Looking forward to seeing you in your kitchen with Matt and Amma soon. BIG LOVE!
Tiffany I was the same way. I didn't want to talk to anyone either. I was angry about the surgery because I did not want an ostomy. Now that I have been living with it I am so happy to be cancer free! You need to ask about the biopsy results. They have had pleanty of time. Love you and sending prayers!!!!
Tiffany you’re doing so well. I had similar surgery 6 years ago, not for cancer, but I had a perforated bowel due to diverticulitis. I had an emergency surgery in the middle of the night and woke up with a stoma. I guess I just zoned out and accepted that it basically saved my life. I had some really bad days in hospital, but also some good ones. Like you I was covered in tubes and drains. It does get better, I promise. I was Lucky enough to have a reversal to remove the stoma and rejoin the bowel. I have to say I thought long and hard about that second operation, as they said many things could go wrong. I was considering keeping the stoma! Once you learn how to deal with it, and how certain food might affect it, it was absolutely fine. The stoma nurses are amazing and always available to listen and visit if needed. I think the hospital Environment can make you emotional, tired (so noisy!) and frankly it’s so boring, things will improve when you get home and into a good routine. ❤
I had a illeostomy in 1963 age 10. I had ulcerative colitis since 7. I had it for 20 years . after Children at age 30. I had a Koch Pouch which I have had 39 years. I will be 70, in March. I've had lots of other things but I'm still here. A Mother of 3 daughters. Grandmother of 6. We just celebrated our 45 th Anniversary , in December. So life can go on.... Bless you. And Our Tiffany😘❤🙏🤗🌹
That's fabulous that you were able to have your bowel rejoined! 💪💙
❤
@@lisabullock7461 ❤
And also she'll be grieving for having gone through such big changes. Everything with the bowel of course - but also the loss of not bearing children in the future 😔
As a nurse I'm assuring you, everything your feeling and thinking is normal. You have gone thru a major surgery, and the road leading up to it has not been easy. Don't be so hard on yourself. We all love you. Brighter days are coming I promise. Love hugs prayers always
❤️
So helpful to hear nurses talk. Reassuring. Bless you
I’ve always said that I think it would be so beneficial for Tiffany to see someone, like a Therapist about her mental health & her emotional well being. I often wonder why the Dr doesn’t recommend this to her. As a Nurse you would know that having such a huge operation is traumatic to the body & her mind & that depression can set in. Do you know about that? My Dad has a huge operation & was in Hospital for a month & they had started him on an Antidepressant right away after the surgery because they said that trauma & depression go hand in hand. I would love to hear your opinion on this. I’m in Canada & I don’t know where you’re from so so don’t know if things are different around the world. It seems normal what she’s going through at the moment with her emotions as you said but do you agree that she could benefit by having so tools that would help her mental health? 19:07
@Laney 26 Good point, hadn’t thought of it that way. True, I guess she could’ve been offered it but didn’t mention it.
@Laney 26 I know she was given a referral a very long time ago & I remember that she called but she never said anything about it after that. Yes, I wouldn’t want to assume anything but I know from my own personal experiences that there’s usually a wait list unfortunately. I’ve been following Tiffany from day 1 & have never missed a single video to date! 🤗🫠
As a person living with cancer I think you have made the right decision to take this time for yourself! It is not selfish at all, it is self care! Best to you always!❤
You got this♡
It's completely ok to be vulnerable. This is a massive thing you're going through right now, so whatever helps you get through it is 100% what you should be doing. It doesn't matter if it's taking time for yourself, or talking to us, or talking to your family. If it helps you get through this then that's what you need! We'll be here waiting for you when come back! You're just a lovely person and I'm rooting for you! You got this! :)
Tiffany it’s so amazing to see your resilience through recovery and get better but I have to say one thing I’ve noticed about u from the beginning is that you radiate kindness it literally beams off you like rays from the sun. It’s amazing to me that even in this critical time u have such a beautiful attitude and such i beautiful soul I pray that you recover very very soon and relax stress free with ur loved ones ameen
aww thank you so much for your kindness💙
Alhamdullilah
Amen 🙏
5 years ago my husband got an aggressive cancer. His boss was really upset for him. 5 years on my husband is cancer free and his poor boss died of a heart attack only 2 years after my husband's diagnosis. This journey in life we are on is never guaranteed for any of us. We have a God we can rely on, that is with us ever step of the way though! God bless you.
Tiffany, it’s ok to breakdown. It’s ok to cry, to be frustrated, sad, angry, it’s ok. You got this. You can do this. We are rooting and praying for you ❤
Tiff it must be agony not knowing the results of the histology. The fact that you have moved on mentally to this point shows how much better you are feeling. Nobody knows how this feels for you but I can imagine how I would feel in your situation. These days of doubt and feeling trapped are part of the process, it must be. You are at a very difficult stage in your recovery…desperate to get on with your life but physically not quite there yet. I work in medicine and through my working day you are never far from my mind because sometimes I see patients who trigger my thoughts of you. Keep going Tiff you have been extraordinarily brave and positive. You and your body have been through immense trauma so be kind to yourself while you are healing. We got this you gorgeous human 💙
@@kate1830 Had a bad day? I know this is prerecorded, she stated it would be while she was undergoing this extremely radical surgery.
There is nothing you could show me that would be repulsive or awful to me. Like I've said, I've had every one of those. The ostomy, too. It took me a little time to get used to it but I finally did, despite a few blow outs. I feel you, sweet lady! It's difficult to feel so helpless, Tiffany! You have had one of the biggest surgeries anyone can have! You are doing well to my thoughts. We love you and you are in our prayers always!!
I totally understand. I too went through "Cancer" treatments and surgeries and it's tough. It's the unknown that keeps coming up. I want YOU to know that I am with you in spirit and sending you my love. You Got This Tiffany. You are strong and an inspiration to many around the world with your positivity. With that being said, when you feel sad, it's OK. When you feel Stuck that is totally normal and when you feel like crying.... "Cry". It's OK to let it all out and then you'll feel better. Remember always that your Tiffany Thinks Family all love you and are with you and we're all praying for you. Love from Colorado and prayers going out to you, matt, and Amma. Hugs.
Tiff…I remember going through this exact same feeling. It’s so hard. Your emotions are everywhere and you just want it to be over. It’s normal to feel all of it. It’s part of the journey love. I felt so overwhelmed with all that happened, all that was still happening and all that was to come. I didn’t hear that I was cancer free for many years and several surgeries later. You are strong but you are human. Allow yourself to feel all of it and let it out. Give yourself some grace. 💙 Take things one step at a time.
Omgoodness dearest Tiffany. I feel absolutely 💯 percent silly. I was just crying because the chemotherapy is actually melting and crumbling my nails. I have one thumb nail that is so tender and sore. This is exactly what I mean. By sharing your journey you really really help me. Or as you would say " alot alot". Seriously, sister, I love you. I owe you so much. You really help me keep things in perspective. I pray for you everyday..say hi to Ama for me.
Seeing you standing and walking is so wonderful, Tiffany! I can’t stop grinning!💙 Blessings of powerful healing to you, sweetie!💙
My husband Russ had scans yesterday, waiting for results. The waiting is the worst. 7 years of cancer, 6 years of remission. We are blessed! Sending you lots of prayers and positivity my sweet girl. We got this! 💙
PS Wearing my favorite purple WGT T-shirt.
You’re an incredibly brave and strong woman. I’m proud of how you’re handling all this.
We got this, girl! 💙❤️💙❤️
Tiffany, I don’t think you are being selfish at all. I think you’re decision is very intelligent!
I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you, not only moving around, but also focusing on your breathing exercises at the same time!
I think you are doing amazingly well, although you may not feel that way because you are the one going through it all. Slow and steady, that’s what wins the race! 😊❤️🐾🌵
I had the same surgery in 2004. I understand how you are feeling. Give yourself some grace. You will get through this. 💕
Hi Tiffany, you look good despite having gone through a 'major' surgery. I am a breast cancer survivor, after my surgery, no cancer cells was found on the margin, but my oncologist does not consider that i am 'cancer free,' as there is a possibility that cancer will come back within the next 5 years if not sooner, he will only said that i am under remission, cancer still may be in the body. Please take good care of yourself. 💙💙💙
I’m glad you broke down! Some times we just need to brake apart so we can come back stronger. You are going through something so incredibly scary and painful. Understand, that whatever you choose to do moving forward, I support you. No one can say anything because every cancer journey is different. Just know again, I support you in whatever you do, however you need to act, or anything else. You are amazing, strong, courageous, smart, beautiful, empathetic, and whatever else positive. You just do you! We all struggle with something and you are right. Not to mention, you have just had major surgery and you are on a ton of meds and so many body changes affect you too. I myself have been going through a ton of stuff but I’ve managed to stay positive and that’s what matters most. Much love! Xoxo
So happy to see you sitting up and feeling motivated on standard self-care. You are remarkable! And walking without bag trolley or nurse! Wonderful.
You are so strong. You cry when you have to, laugh when you need to and take one day at a time. You are a true inspiration! 🥰
Sweet Tiffany I felt the same after my cancer surgery after the tubes get removed you feel a lot better.I think about you every day sending love and prayers 🙏❤️🙏💙🙏
Never feel bad for taking time for yourself. It takes a lot to share this all with so many people.
Hi Tiffany, watching through your videos, I keep thinking of how helpful this will be for anyone else (and their loved ones) going through similar. I know that none of this is meant to be educational but I feel we are all learning from you, whether it’s following this process with you and/or seeing the way you cope day to day. You always have such a sense of grace and gratitude despite the circumstances and even at the very low points. I might not articulate this as well as I mean to; just saying what I see. 😊 Someone I love went into hospital yesterday under different circumstances (sudden headache not responding to pain relief) and there are no answers as yet. Waiting for more test results and fearing them also. It gives more of an insight into what you, Amma and Matt are all going through. Feeling so much for anyone else in the same position and so thankful for the NHS (which I’ve been a part of for 30 years now). Apologies for the ramble. Sending huge love and hugs to you, Amma and Matt and all your loved ones. We got this! 💙💙💙💞💞💞
Your video's are the ones I cannot wait for to click on and watch. We are so proud of you Tiff for everything you're going through. We know this is a hard journey you're on, mentally, physically and emotionally. Not having answers is sometimes the hardest of it all. We are here for you.
I’d trade places with her to give her a break…..I cling to her every word….never prayed for someone I don’t know so hard to where I’m broken with questions…
Sending hugs from New Zealand Tiffany. I can relate after being stuck in hospital on multiple occasions for 3-4 weeks at a time. You are an inspirational person. Hang in there xx
You are doing awesome!!! You look amazing for what you have been through. This grandma in Texas is still praying for your complete healing. We got this Tiffany 💙
I had a low anterior resection last May for bowel cancer. Now have an ileostomy. It was hard physically and still is mentally to process the pain, exhaustion and depression associated with it. I’m waiting for a reversal but am very anxious about it too . Had a complete meltdown Monday .
You are allowed to feel scared. It’s perfectly normal but you are doing so well. You are such a strong woman and a real inspiration x
I can’t get over how well you are doing so soon after you’re surgery 👌
Oh my sweet lady. I see you improving so much. Can't believe how strong you are. My heart was breaking for you in this video being a mom myself. Tell your mom she is looking great as well. I bless you both so much. You make me think I should be living life more myself. I was just talking with a friend about you. I suffer from anxiety and depression right now so it makes feel like I need to get my act together right. I've lost so many in my family and friends. I'm not young either. My kid's are all adults now. So I live alone. You brightness in my day. Sending healing prayers and positive vibes 🙏. Love and hugs from Prince Edward Island, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️. You got this!!! But it's OK to have your moments as well. Crying 😢 is good to do sometimes. Take care sweet girl. 💕
Prayers for clean margins 💙💙 Don’t shy from asking for help when u need it Tiffany!
That’s well said
Tiff… I got staff infection in my hip in August. I was in hospital sick as a dog for a month. Couldn’t walk… can’t walk still . Two surgeries and one more to go. I’m at home but in a hospital bed until probably another month. Tired of sleeping on my back all this time when I was a side sleeper. Couldn’t even scratch my own legs or back. I couldn’t eat… just started eating normal this last month. Once you get home you will feel better. It’s gonna be okay. Feels like you’re going to be in that bed forever… you won’t. You have family and you have your love…. they aren’t going anywhere. Hang in ! Everyday is a closer day to you being home. Then you’ll start the count down to being up and getting back to your new normal. You’re beautiful & young and have a whole life ahead of you. Stay positive.
I pray you feel Gods arms wrapped around every day Tiffany. You are so full of grace and courage! Blessings from Louisiana
Tiffany no one is asking you or expecting you to make so many video. Short videos with updates is much better and certainly easier for you. I know this is how you make your money. So many people make videos now with their health journeys which helps everyone and it helps financially. But they keep the videos short. We all don’t have time to see you sleeping and what pillow a nurse brings.
I am so happy that you’re healing. Stay strong.
But short videos means less money... Other health journey CZcamsrs also post in real time.
Lovely to hear you advocate for your own health. You are right - everybody has their own way of dealing with things, so your way is right for you. It isn't my body that is going through this, it is yours, so I am merely praying for your continued healing and will happily wait until you want something. Praying for you each day. We got this 💙!
You've been through so much and it's so natural to have difficult days, but it's also so important to see how far you've come. You clearly do see this when you talk about the number of wires decreasing - tick, tick, tick! I love how you talk yourself through difficult thoughts - and then come out smiling. 💙💙💙
It seems to me totally sensible to want this time to yourself and definitely the right thing to do. When my friend had cancer surgery she sometimes felt she had to manage other people not knowing how to talk to her about the situation, putting them at ease - and that was really tiring for her (she did love and appreciate their support though!).
I hope that you releasing these videos is a really good sign that you're recovering and healing well. Step by step, day by day. Tick, tick, tick!! 💙💙💙
Whatever you've decided for this period of your life is the right decision, and I think you're brave and strong for knowing you needed this time for yourself. And personally I think, having seen both my parents go through surgeries for cancer, you did the right thing; having visitors-no matter how much you love them or how lovely they are-is EXHAUSTING!!! When you've had a big surgery your body is working hard, plus the mental and emotional fall-out, and dealing with different visitors on and off can be too much.
I hope you're getting used to stoma life, I know it was a learning process for my Dad when he had one, not just the new routine and processes dealing with it but also finding out what foods do and don't work. I know the stoma nurse he had was invaluable, so I hope you have all the support you need.
Hope Amma and Matt are both well, I'm betting your Mum particularly will be very tired from the visiting whilst you were there and the emotional toll from watching her girl go through a major surgery.
Sending love and continued prayers for your recovery. We got this💙
You'll have had your results by now and I so hope your margins were clear. Keeping everything crossed for you, lovely girl xx 💙
Good morning sweet Tiffany!! It's completely normal for you to have lots of ups & downs! You have been through SOOO much over the past year, & now have been through a very big surgery on top of all the rest! Please be gentle with yourself, & never forget that you are deeply loved...I always feel like you're part of my family!
I had a funny thought...I somehow just remembered several months ago when you were actually showing some of your medical forms that showed your diagnosis because someone was saying you didn't really have cancer...well I should think they believe you now, after seeing the drain tubes!! LOL!!
It had to feel SOOO good to wash your hair! Getting cleaned up always helps you feel better!
I love it that you got to have some soup that your Amma made for you! That would be comforting as well as much better tasting than hospital food!!
You brought up the subject of the pathology reports, & I was REALLY hoping that you could just include a clip to let us know the results! I'm SOOO hoping that they're all clear margins!! My tummy is just in knots waiting to find out!! I'm not sure how to pray for you when it comes to that...do I say thank you for getting it all, or do I pray that if you need more treatment that it will kill whatever is remaining??
You look fabulous, & I hope you are feeling better each day... mentally, physically, emotionally, & spiritually as well!
Sending you love, hugs and prayers from Sacramento CA!! P.S., I meant to tell you how much I love my tee! It's really soft, & I chose the navy one!! 🦋🌊🫂☮️💙🫶☕❄️💉🩻🩺🌍🐞🐝🌞🐚☔🌷🌺🗽🇺🇸📚🦋
I lost my sweetheart 2.5 yrs ago after hr had 16 hrs brain surgery to remove a tumor at the base of his brain. He was older than me. But I tried so hard to be positive for him. Unfortunately he had every complication he could have but his health was not as young and otherwise healthy as you are. I know I have watched videos on the other side of tomorrow and tomorrow is the rest of your life💙💙💙
Tiffany, my dear❤. You are so very hard on yourself. Anyone going through all that you are would have similar feelings and emotions. It is a very extensive surgery that you had. There are honestly not a ton of surgeries bigger than the one you had. And the waiting is so difficult! It’s almost impossible not to think about both scenarios in terms of what pathology and histology show. Try not to stop yourself from feeling emotional. It is soooo normal and understandable and important to feel what you feel and honour what you feel. That will be part of recovery. You are EXTREMELY strong and brave. 💙💙💙💙WE GOT THIS💙💙💙💙. PS- your body only heals when asleep so it is not surprising at all that you are as tired as you are! We really do got this, Tiffany💙💙❤️❤️
Coming from a surgical nurse, you are absolutely amazing!!! I know at this point looking good is not the biggest issue on your mind but you do look fabulous…..how do you do that 😉 You are a beautiful lady. Sleep will help to heal you so sleep away. It is so normal to be emotional and exhausted after any surgery let alone the major surgery you had. I know you are home now and I agree with you…editing these videos is therapeutic and will help you heal emotionally. We Got This! Love you a lot, a lot, a lot! 💙
You, your medical team, and caregivers are amazing! I can't believe that this is 2 weeks post-op. 💙
Dear Tiffany, you are so brave to share what you have been through, and to share it hoping that it may help someone else is so selfless and courageous...the absolute opposite of being selfish, so please don't ever think that's what you are. I hope that you are feeling better every day as you continue your recovery at home. The pain and tears are unfortunately part of the cancer journey your on, but each day is getting closer to the end, and the beginning of a new chapter where cancer isn't the focus of your life. Your sweet Amma and Matt are angels on earth and I send them both loads of love and strength. I know what it's like to care for someone who is going through so much and it is beyond difficult, I truly feel for them every time I see them on camera. It's so wonderful to see your progress each day, with those wires and tubes coming out, and you walking and sitting, I know it seems so small, but each is so important and brings you closer to home and closer to the end of this journey! Sending you love and hugs and strength, you got this Tiff!! 💙💙💙
Please don't ever think you're being selfish if you don't feel like doing a video. You're not being selfish. You're taking care of yourself so that you can heal and get better. We would be the ones being selfish if we expected you to release a video after going through all that. We're just happy that things are coming along and you're feeling better. Take care!
The hard bits are the recovery and the depression because you feel you're the only one that has ever felt this way. Its normal i felt that way when i had my knee replaced and now this month I go through it once again. Next is having my jaw and thumb joints replaced.
Your shower did you a world of good now you've got it! Love you bunches!
I just wanted to tell you Tiffany that you are an amazing person. What a sweetheart you are. You’re too concerned about other people and please do what’s best for you. I recently found your channel and I’m praying for you and love that you are sharing your journey. So happy you got your hair washed and got to sit up! ❤️🙏🏻😍😘
You’ve got this Tiffany 💙. It’s not easy to remember that mantra when your struggling and in those moments the big picture can seem overwhelming especially when you find yourself alone with your thoughts. I know what it’s like to spiral into those worries and it helps to refocus on the smaller picture, the more immediate goals , the little steps and accomplishments. I realize that these are older videos and that your leaps and bounds ahead in your recovery. I hope that the process of editing these clips reinforces the progress you’ve made and continue. ✔️✔️✔️
I know you're still not feeling yourself in this video, but it's still so nice to see you having progressed so much from the first few hospital vlogs. ♥️
I'm surprised with the 46-49kg! It is more than I thought!! Of course I don't know how tall you are, and that certainly makes a difference. I remember during one of my hospitalizations, I had to gain weight before they would discharge me. It was a bummer.... but it didn't take TOO long!! I was always told the same as your nurses had been saying to you re: walking. I also used to say the same to my patients, better to do more frequent small walks, then one long one. Just sharing in case one of the viewers is facing surgery down the line. Your situation in this video of then being too tired for the second walk is exactly what happens frequently. It is such a great feeling getting rid of the tubes. One of mine was draining so bad, and it took a lot longer than it should have - before it could be removed. When it finally came out - I was SOoooo happy!! 😀 Even though I know you are home - I am sitting here thinking about how much you were looking forward to getting rid of your tubes!! Progress is wonderful in giving us a boost! P.S. Really glad to hear you are meeting with the nutritionist and know you need to change some of your ways. I agree, you have to be able to have some things you love - but you really have gotten in the habit of eating some pretty bad stuff. Once you get used to not eating so much bad stuff....you often will try it later on - and not like it at all. Hopefully, you will find that to be true to. 🤞💜
I had an operation on 20th December, nothing like yours, I only had my hip replaced, but I cried for 3 weeks straight! Not because I was in any pain from the operation site, there was other pain, and the struggle to try and walk, the indignity of having to use a bed pan for 2 days!
I left the hospital on Christmas Eve, and 6 days later I was back in with a pulmonary embolism, I’ve been so low, and I’ve never felt like that in my life!
It will get better, I know this video is a few weeks ago, and I hope you’re felling better about things now ❤️
Not sure if you were told but one of the side effects of anesthesia is being very emotional and sleeping a lot. Because your surgery was so long, you had a huge amount of anesthetics put in your body. It takes time and rest to get it out. You are doing amazingly well for all you’ve had done to your body. It is now Tiffany time! Let your body tell you what it needs and let your Tiffany Thinks family love on you. ❤️🙏
I totally get it. I had so many complications after my tumor surgery, and then I had to have two more surgeries. Hospitals are not a good place for mental health. I struggled waiting for my results, after a week I was moved to ICU for two weeks, then isolation for a week. My mental health was so fragile. I cried and cried. I got ICU psychosis. I called so many people at 5:30 AM because I was sure everyone was lying to me. Now, I am cancer-free for almost 6 years.
Oh, Tiffany, you have every right to cry. Praying for your miracle. ♥️
DEAREST Tiffany, I know how hard you have been fighting and how strong your have been in this battle. You have every right and reason to cry and feel frustrated and I know in my heart that God will let you hear the words, “TIFFANY, YOU ARE CANCER-FREE.”. I will pray for you, Mama and Steve. I love your courage, sweetness and spirit. We got you and you got this!!!
We are all praying for you Tiffany. 💙💙💙
Tiffany, my heart goes out to you when I see you cry & feeling afraid and doubtful of what the future holds, but sweetheart, you’ve been through SO much, so it’s totally ok! Crying is a release that is needed during this difficult time.
“We Got This” & “You’ve Got This”
Don’t worry about anyone, especially not us, you’re TiffanyThinksFamily. We’re here for you, and will be here for you whenever you need us. Prayers & Big Hug from Texas💙🙏💙🙏💙
In my own experience with my dad and now my husband, the cancer fight brings something akin to the shell shock or battle fatigue soldiers suffer with during wartime. Cancer is a war... an unrelenting one. My heart goes out to you, Tiffany, and your loved ones. You are much too young to have to face this battle. Know that you have so very many people from around the world pulling for you!
Tiffany you look so healthy that's a good sign you are young another positive on your side you got this girl!!
You are absolutely correct. She is too young for all of this. She is a little Trooper, so brave.
Thanks for sharing Tiffany. Hope you are all doing well at home....Amma and Matt included! I think a shirt with a (check mark) Tick, (check mark) Tick, (check mark) Tick down the front would be wonderful...glad you thought of it!! I am disabled (broken back plus many other things) and spend most of my day completely alone in my room. It has caused me chronic depression and I lose all motivation....but when I do manage to go around the house in pain and do a little chore here and there....I say tick, tick, tick and I got that from YOU! Hugs from Ohio!!
Tiffany I’m so happy that you had the chance to wash your hair and get pampered.. You seem to have a new positive out look which is so good to see. I hate when you cry and feel sad.mi know all two well because I have had 30 surgeries in my life time and after every one of them I felt defeated. It’s normal to experience those emotions. Keep your chin up you’re on the mend. Sending hugs and prayers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
Sweet Tiffany every day your getting stronger keep your good side out as a stroke survivor I can understand what it's like to spend a long time in hospital I had brain surgery over 30 years ago still fighting no use of my left hand and my leg is weak but so glad too still be here just seeing your amazing recovery makes me happy god bless you love from Ireland xx
I’m confused - are these recent videos - as time stamp seems to suggest?
My dear Tiffany. I lost my daughter to pancreatic cancer last October. She was only 36 years. I lost her in 10 months. I miss her very much and I would do anything to have her back. My dear you are very lucky and blessed. Be strong and happy. My prayers are with you. ❤
Tiffany, you are such a beautiful soul. I think about you and pray for you often. I can't imagine how difficult this journey must be for you, but you're doing a terrific job! Such an emotional rollercoaster. Try to take one day at a time, if you can. Take care, you've got this. Love you.
I just can’t even imagine how down and fed up you must have felt while recovering - the frustration to just want to get up and just go home but can’t my heart is heavy that you had to go through it. I hope you’re feeling better as the days go by, you got this girl ❤️
of course we understand! you do you Tiff! it's good to put yourself first at times like this!! and it's okay to be down and cry whenever ... amazing thing is you appear to bounce back more quickly than many of us do. Sleep, cry, talk, be yourself Tiffany and never forget we're praying you'll soon hear the words that you're cancer free. 💙💙💙
2:29 I had a large tumor starting to grow into my intestines, and touching my bladder, I don’t have much of what I was as a woman ! But I am old~~~ so probably easier, I am so sorry you are hurting so badly~~~
Sweet Tiffany, your body is going through so much trauma and it is normal for you to shed tears. Go ahead and cry it out…you will feel better afterwards. I think you are doing fantastic. Not a lot of people could endure the things you have. You are going in the right direction and you need to remember that. Before long all those tubes will be gone! Get your rest, take your nappy naps and just let go. You got this girl! Give Amma and your darling Matt a hug from me. We love you girl!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Knowing you've come through all this and you are at home makes me smile. Sending the biggest hug and hope you are healing well.
Hugs and prayers. You are such a brave young lady.
I have stage 4 cancer- it can touch our bodies but no our spirit. Yours shines bright Tiff.
💜💙💚
Watching your process in the hospital you are such a brave person .
I can’t imagine the mental stress and all the doubts creeping in the mind .
Prayers for u while you are healing at home . Hope to see a new video soon . Take your time . 💙
Tiffaney you have done way more than I thought you would be able to do. After all you have been through you still give us your beautiful smile and try to be upbeat. Your not being selfish at all.

Sending you much love and strength to continue your recovery Tiffany!
Hi Tiffany, am wondering whether you have heard back from histology? And of course, I don't mean to pressure you into saying anything if that is not what you want to do.
I am praying that you are cancer free. If there were cancer cells on the margins, am praying that treatment gets you through the last of the cancer very soon! 🙏♥️😘
Almost there, almost there. Almost the end. 💞 Praying for cancer free! Cancer free! Those margins better look beautiful, clean, and CANCER FREE! We got this!!
Hang in there, Darling Tiffany. We're here praying for you. You're so brave and so honest with yourself and others. Grief is bitter and draining, yet a huge part of the journey. Even facing being a new person is frightening, and so vital. As long as your heart beats, you're who you are. A beautiful woman with a warm and loving soul. You have more strength and life than you may realize. I love you and admire you enormously! 🙏💞😍😘🙏
Hang in there We Got This! You will get stronger and stronger every day!😊
Thank you so much💙💙💙 lots and lots of love
Hello Triffany
Anyone who has cancer and has been through surgery would feel the same and be emotional of course.
You have a road ahead of you but take one day at a time. Let your
Body heel don't rush yourself.
Each day you will be better so everything has gone right so far.
Love 💘 from 🇨🇦 Canada
It’s ok to feel those emotions! You have been strong. Do they have counselors available to you. It’s almost like PTSD. Hugs and good vibes!❤
Tiff, your journey has brought us all together, it has given us a chance to reflect and appreciate the deeper meaning of life. Not only have I read your journey but your followers journey and struggles and I must say I have been touched to the the core of my very existence. I would like to thank you! For sharing and bringing your followers together. I’ll keep praying for all. ❤ you Tiffany you surely got this!
Your entitled to feel like this. You have been through so much. Your amazing and you need to have these times to let your emotions go xx
Don’t be so hard on yourself Tiffany. Even the strongest of us have moments when we break down. You are so loved and inspire so many. I know the waiting to get your results has to be one of the hardest things to do. It’s not fair to make someone wait so long for results even though it can’t be helped. You got this, love and prayers from Canada 💙💙💙💙💙
You are truly one of the bravest human being I have ever met. I am in awe of your courage. You will get through this . Lots of love ❤
Tiffany, Thankfully as we watch these video we know you are home and praying that you are doing well. Watching these video's knowing that you are at home able to edit them is a blessing in it self. These video's you create will continue to help so many people all around the world, a young person may have just got diagnosed with the same cancer as you and will reach out to the internet community seeking, in fact anyone losing hope just need to look to you for reassurance and hope. Things in Life do not just happen, we are all chosen to fulfill a purpose. Continued Healing Prayers and Support for you and your family
It makes me happy each time you post a video. It lets me know that you are home gaining strength to do all this editing! You are doing fantastic, you got this!
Oh Tiffany. I'm super sorry you are going through so much.
I was just in the hospital today, I had panic before surgery and after I just wanted to get out of bed and go, but the pain was too much. I can't compare my situation with yours, but it made me better understand what you are going through and that hurts me for you.
I always think of you and your journey, you are having the greatest impact for countless lives.
I don't know how much consolation that gives you, I hope it does though.
I'll be praying more for you.🥰
Hi Tiffany, thank you for all that you're showing and telling us. We love you a lot a lot a lot! 💙💙💙
You are such a strong girl Tiffany. You inspire us. Yest, morning my cocker spaniel dog while playing dashed off & hit me so hard that I had a very bad fall on my back. The excruciating pain was unbearable for me, I somehow with all my will power managed to get up & stand up. Whole night I was crying silently because I couldn’t sleep nor lie on one side. I thought about you all the time how after such a major surgery you have been lying on one side & that gave me courage. You are a warrior. Thumbs up darling. God bless.. ❤
Tiff ask to speak to a psychiatrist from the hospital. It will do you a world of good to vent.
We love you and are holding you up. Xoxo
