    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 my loving tiffanythinks family. I can’t believe how much of this day I don’t remember at all. It’s all a blur - it’s so hard to see myself like this. I think where I was so medicated, I got very emotional. This time last week, I would have never thought I could edit a whole video and I have done it!! Thank you so much for giving me SOO much love, you all motivate and give me strength. You’re all so amazing!!

    Tiffany - I was teary eyed watching this. Partly because it brought back memories of my rectal cancer surgery and waking up after surgery so sore and with an ileostomy to deal with and knowing what it’s like to be the patient. This knowledge gave me the other reason for crying as I watched. Tears of joy knowing the tumor was successfully removed from your body and the hope that this moment marks the end of your active cancer treatment as you move into recovery and ongoing monitoring. I know you still have a long physical recovery in front of you. It’s amazing that you felt so motivated to record your time in the ICU. Your graciousness shines through even in the ICU connected to a labyrinth of tubes and wires. I’m so happy for you and hope your recovery continues smoothly.

I’m sorry you lost your mom to cancer. A cancer diagnosis impacts so many people beyond the patient. Though while my treatments were successful I live with many side effects on a daily basis. But I’m grateful to be living.

Little did I know a week later I would be in the same position. On life support in the icu because of septic shock. This video familiarised me with the icu which lessoned my anxiety when I came off the life support. Thankyou Tiffany ❤️ you don’t know and will never know how much you help people. I always thought of you when I was in and out of hospital this year, you gave me strength.

      Please do go into cancer research, it is fascinating and we need more research. I was about to go into a trial for CAR T-Cell therapy for my type of stage 4 blood cancer. If you’re not familiar with it which I’m sure you are it’s harvesting our own T-cells sending them to be genetically modified to recognize cancer cells. There are side effects with neurotoxicity, and CRS, and B aplasia but it is a potential cure for many with incurable and curable blood cancers. If it’s consistently successful with systemic cancers such as blood cancers they hope to be using it for tumor cancers. Plus MD Anderson was also working on NK-Cell therapy as well. There is also the immunotherapies such as Dostarlimab which is being used on early stage colorectal cancers of certain strains without having to use typical chemoradiotherapy. So much advancements being made, be a part of it. I also had stage 4 colorectal cancer which had metastasized to my liver and lymph nodes so I had numerous surgeries and an ileostomy, then an ileostomy reversal, along with chemo and radiation. That was 7 years ago.

Definitely the drugs. It's so great to be on the other side when you look back at where you were. I know it's not easy and it will still take time. Be kind to yourself and allow for all the time you need...however long that needs to be because it's different for everyone. Love you tons 💗

You are young and strong. Now only think of recovering. I have been watching your video further ahead in your home.

The fact that Tiffany has took us on her cancer journey, highlighting her symptoms, so people will regonise them if they show these signs and get checked out. I didn't mean God meant her to get cancer! That's crazy, i think Tiffany says herself if just one person gets checked out, she'd be happy. Most of us go through our lives without making any mark, i think that Tiffany sharing her journey with us has made people more aware. I say this as someone who has lost loved ones to cancer, who maybe went to the doctor when the disease was further down the line than it should be.

I 'only' had surgery, but people don't realise how hard it is and how long it takes to recover. And the mental toll is really, really hard. So glad you posted the more recent video first so we know you're doing okay. Please take all the time you need to recover. 💕

    My dear Tiffany, you are such an inspiration and one of the reasons I get up everyday and deal with my pain, which by the way is not as bad as yours. The other reason is my lovely 81yr. old mom who has advance dementia so I moved her and my brother into our house so I can care for her. My husband is the only on that here for me when I need something. She forgets who I am at there are days when she'll tell me that she loves me as much as she loves her own kids. She forgets that I am her daughter. My dad died on 12/30/2022, which makes it a year now. He was actually my stepfather, but I loved him as if he was biological dad, I miss him him dearly. Please continue to be the sweet inspiring young lady that you are. You have no idea that you're a true hero in the eyes of so many people who you don't even know. You give hope to many who watch your battle with cancer and have been with you every step of the way. I know because I'm one of them. I'm a 62 yr old woman who suffers with spinal stenosis and other life threatening illnesses. But I get up everyday because I know that I have people that depend on me foeverything. So you rest my dear Tiffany and take all the time you need to get better and strong again. I want to see you working on your garden again and preparing your tea so you can talk to us. My heart and soul will be with you always. ❤️

I’ve had some serious medical issues, for. Quite some time. I found out about a year ago that my stomach is paralyzed, therefore I’m waiting for a date for my surgery. It’s a big scary surgery for me. However, I know that I GOT THIS, because you’ve reminded me to look at it, as just another hurdle I have to get through. TICK TICK TICK (it would be awesome if you put out a shirt with that on it). WE GOT THIS! You are much loved and appreciated!!!!❤❤ sending healing light and energy your way.

    I worked in ICU for many years. One thing I did was reorient my patients every time I entered the room. If they seemed panicky on the ventilator because meds were wearing off. I just reminded them they have a breathing tube in and can’t talk. I’d give them a notepad and have them right down letters to try to get questions out of them. Then I would put them to sleep again. The whole point was so they would not remember any of it, and also to keep them stable. Emotions play a huge role in making someone unstable,which is why visiting is so limited.
    When I saw your face on TikTok or maybe Instagram I thought wow you sure had a lot of fluid or water weight on you. I figured you would but they do that to keep your blood pressure up. Losing an entire colon really wreaks havoc on stability until y0ur body adjusts. I’m so glad you are doing. God Bless you Tiffany.

I know you are far from feeling your old self but the comparison between this and the video two days ago is day and night. Remind yourself that if the good times can't always stay good why would the bad times always stay bad? The future and good times might not seem in grasp right now but one day you will wake up, in a new adjusted life and forget the trouble of all of this ever happening, maybe even just for a minute, it all seem like a movie you watched years ago. Keep being you, don't be afraid to feel any emotion that comes to you. I know you got this!

    It's great that you have brought this insight into the ICU and into your own experience. What a lot you went through and continue to go through. I hope you feel the glow of the Tiffany thinks family. It's amazing how your own glow, which draws people to you, was even apparent in this point in your life.

    Tiffany, you are magnificent and so so strong darling 💪🏼 there are not many people who can go through a stay in ICU and still have a smile on their face. I am a med student and you inspire me to work hard so I can help others like you. Wishing you health and healing. You’ve got this ❤
