Malin & Tom
Sweden
Приєднався 9 тра 2021
We are an adventurous young 'Swenglish' family, that consists of Swedish Malin, English Tom, and babies Charlie & Isabella who are half and half. We live in our campervan called Sunny, and we love all kinds of adventures across Europe and beyond.
In October 2022, we received the most devastating news for a young family when Malin was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. Aged only 29 with 2 small babies, this was tough news to take. After a long battle, Malin was told she is 'cancer-free', and we've since been travelling Europe in our van called Sunny.

Houses? Hospitals? Stuck here AGAIN?
In this week's van life vlog - we're back! It's been a few weeks since Malin's Midnight ambulance pickup where she was taken in to the hospital, and we've had a week off from vlogging to catch our breaths a bit. That said, during our 'week off' we've had birthdays, hospital visits and cancer scans... so refreshed we are not!
This week we're chatting about what happens next? We are planning to take our van life adventures back down to southern Europe, including Spain and Portugal for the winter, however we're at risk of being stuck here in Sweden, again. Winter van life for the second year in a row?

We are a young 'Swenglish' adventure family; Malin, Tom, and young kids Charlie & Isabella. Last year we embraced full time van life! We love all kinds of adventures, including travelling around Europe in our self-built campervan called Sunny, facing the challenges of what it means to be ‘cancer-free’, after a rough battle with colon cancer.

In this week’s vlog Malin was once again picked up by an ambulance and taken to the hospital, this time in the middle of the night. Van life with cancer is starting to take its toll. She’s been suffering with acute abdominal pains which we believe is a side effect from her multiple surgeries. Malin had 2 major operations along with radiation therapy and chemotherapy as treatment towards her col...

Lovely video lovely solid family ❤❤❤❤
I love watching your family - you all are adorable. Malin, my mom had Colon Cancer like 25 years ago, and afterwards was in pain like you. She was diagnosed with something called malignant adhesions. Basically, her body produced tons more adhesions (scar tissue) than the average person. I don't know if that is what is going on with you, but at least thought I would mention it, in case it could help you. She did have to have some removed later on as she needed another surgery. Best wishes to you for answers and for a pain free future.
Unfortunately the few spoilit for everyone else. We have a lovely local walk by stream but people go sit there and leave their rubbish behind. Im sure they don't go there because it looks like a rubbish dump but because it's a beauty spot. They only have to take it back to the car park where there is a bin to put it in. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Hello you guys.. don't think about that s*** people are writing...block them..
People! If you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all!! This is one of the sweetest families and you can just tell they are partners i. This crazy thing we call life. Malin and Tom you can delete the negative nellies- its your channel❤ Please keep being you. Hugs
Easier said than done, but don't take the negative people personally. They see things through their own eyes. Also, they don't seem too adventurous! (This is from an American aged 75 -- who traveled most of Europe and the US in younger years. Do it now, while you're young, as long as you feel healthy enough.)
Do you know how to make God laugh?? 'You make a plan' 😂 nothing ever goes to plan. We learn to adapt. I hope your test results are good enough for you guys to chase the sun again!! I have a crochet business, and I love making Loveys! Mama made minis book is amazing!! Crochet is an amazing craft for the soul, it will bring you peace and calm ❤ I'm sending you healing and happy vibes guys! Safe travels x
People that leave negative comments are generally miserable in their own lives.
For people to think and say that Tom rules the roost is so offensive,it’s very clear that you are definitely a team who are making plans and decisions equally,unfortunately there are humans that are negative out there .❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Some people are so rude. It's obvious you are living a life you all chose and living it well, and doing as best you can, considering the limitations that you have no control over.
Arent you in remission or what? You are the bravest woman ive ever seen. Wish they could do something for your pain. 😢
God Bless all of you and may Malin get relief from the pain. 😢❤
I believe your scans are going to be amazing and you're going to be able to travel. I can tell you if you end up with adhesions and have to have them removed. I literally just had the surgery. I'm actually still in the hospital as I write this. My surgery was five hours long. The pain's been unreal. They've had to remove adhesions from my bladder, my kidneys, my liver, my pancreas and all over. We're trying to manage my pain. I'm hoping that eventually the pain will be manage and I will get to go home. I'm hoping that this is the cure of me not having to go in and out of the hospital like you are. I pray that you're just goes away without any surgery.
I feel like your kids have an awesome childhood and great experiences. We should all grow up that loved!
You don't need a time line. Go after you find out your results. Is there a way you can give yourself pain shots? I know that you get this pain after you leave. Maybe it is something internally and they can fix it. I'm praying for your family.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Dear family, please DO NOT pay any attention to nasty comments. It's none of their business how you live your lives so just don't waste a second of your precious time worrying about them. Not worth it. We love you, Malin, and your lovely family just the way you are. Sending you tones of love and best wishes. ❤❤🤗🤗❤❤
Praying for only positive vibes. Hope you get to warmer climate and pray for you to be pain free. Don't think of what others think about your way of living. Born free to do as you darn well please. I love your husband's positivity and yours also pretty lady.
Yay! Your back! So so good to see you both. I am appalled at how mean people can be. Evil is in the air as so many Content Creators are getting so many mean comments on their Channel. Try not to let them get to you ok ! I know it’s got to be hard, that’s why I decided to not start a channel as Iam so kind hearted and there is no way I could take all the mean comments and I know there would be some as all get them. People are so miserable,they want to try to make other miserable as well. You both handle it with grace. So glad your parents came Tom to spend time with y’all during Malin and Charlie’s birthdays. Happy Belated Birthday to both of you. I wish I had little grandchildren and or knew someone with little ones as I would buying you out Malin. I will eventually purchase some for the little ones at church. You do such an amazing job in making the adorable little critters. So cute. Can’t wait to hear how the House Shopping is going. And prayers that they find a Tx. And or procedures to STOP the Abdominal Pain sweetie. The temp here in Oklahoma really dropped over night. One day 91 degrees and woke up to in low 40’s and highs being in high 60’s. Stay warm and wow what a nice big Fishing Pole you got Charlie. You will be catching some Big fish with that pole. Love you all and hope all test come back Negative and wishing you all a great fun filled wkend. See ya on Tuesday.
Hi folks,I think Osteopaths treat the bones of the spine.❤❤❤🎉😊😊 I have been to one years ago.
Malin, you and the family are in my daily prayers 🙏🙏🕊🕊💙💙💙 Tom you are such a wonderful partner. Please block the jerks that are negative 🤬
I love you and your little family so much. As I said before, I love the way you parent and care for one another. Good for you for speaking up Malin! I loved, “No, we don’t invite you to our open family discussions!” 😂 You “do you” and never mind those comments. ❤ How wonderful your parents had such a lovely visit with you all, Tom! 🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Malin please get a second opinion, you shouldn't have to live with pain like that ❤
I pray the pain stays away and you will be able to travel. My latest surgery was cancelled due to necrosis being found in my breast and a different surgery will be done soon I hope.
Your kids are darling. I am fighting the same battle as Marlin. It stinks. You are so brave.
❤❤❤
I know I’ve said this before but I just have to say it again. I love watching your videos. You are an amazing family and I thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. You can feel the love that you all have for one another and with all the negativity going on in the world today it’s nice to have a place to go where we see that there is still good things going on. I truly love watching you guys just doing life the way you do. I always look forward for your new videos. I can’t wait to see what’s next. 🚐⭕️❌💜
Welcome back❤❤❤❤
I think your lifestyle is just fine but I think I’d invest in an RV. It could have heat, water, ac, and more space for rainy days.
Some people just feel it’s their right to criticise how other people live and it’s so tedious😤 Carry on doing what you do, the majority of us really enjoy your posts. Watching the little ones playing and laughing in the fresh air is a delight, no screens🙌🏻 Although you have your worries all I see is a happy family x
Guys, don’t listen to the judgemental trolls. Unfortunately, they’re everywhere, in every community. Just block them. Don’t let them get under your skin. Do your thing, enjoy life and take us along once in a while. I just heard that it snowed up in Utah, 2 days ago it was 30*C. Winter is coming!
My blood boils went I see how people are not getting the right treatment through the health systems. An oestiopath is a great idea. I'd like to know how that goes. I went to a physiotherapist for my IBS urgency symptoms and had huge relief. I couldn't get that through our public health system. Good idea of getting a house for the winter. Stress has a huge impact on pain and a calming environment away from the cold will help.
Ihr seid wunderbar! GRÜßE aus Deutschland und gute Besserung❤❤❤❤
Thank you for all you do and wishing your beautiful family only the best ❤
don't plaster yourselves on UA-cam..odd choice if you don't want comments about the life you advertise..good grief..
And you are one of the people that should also avoid commenting the way you do. Be KIND in your comments, you just come off as rude and that's not a good look hun 💕😊
You are a n i d i o t. The question is: where you born this way or do you train daily?
What a thoughtful gesture by a subscriber to purchase crocheted gifts to donate to kids. ❤
Welcome back you guys💜💜💜💜 Sorry that there are so many people in this world that are rude, judgmental & so unkind. They need to keep their comments to themselves. You guys have always been kind, loving & have an amazing family life. Take care & have a wonderful week🎇🎇
They do it because they can hide behind a computer. Just pray for them and then block. Who needs that toxic behavior.
Sometimes I feel like youtube videos are too long, but I can watch/listen to your family forever.
That’s a beautiful compliment, thanks so much! 🧡
Maybe malin could donate the toys to the child's ward at the hospital
That’s probably the best idea I’ve heard so far! Thanks for the suggestion 🧡
Such a beautiful lov8ng family. Many prayers for Malin 🙏🙏🙏🙏🫳❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t realize that crocheting is a thing you like to do! I am an avid crocheter I started doing it in 2018 when I had a spinal injury and taught myself lots of different things to do because I didn’t leave my home from 2018 to 2021. It makes me feel good to make something that someone loves. ❤ glad you do something that keeps your mind busy and your heart full.
Oh yeah I love it! I didn’t do anything like this before I got cancer but being locked in a bed for so long I had to start doing something creative to not lose my mind! And now I’m completely in love with crocheting 😅 you’re so right, it is a nice feeling making lots of different things that other people might use in the future! 🧡
@@malinandtom I’m not good with making animals or anything like that. I make blankets, hats, bandanas, and dream catchers but I have found that making pumpkins is super easy. I was held up in bed for months not being able to walk so I can understand the boredom of just lying there. I don’t know how many books I read and shows or movies until I was just so frustrated with it all. I finally found crocheting and diamond painting. Have you ever done diamond paintings? I think it would be something else you might enjoy. I like to frame mine. I am building a bedroom just to hang all my diamond paintings in it one day. 😂 I also taught myself how to sew and now make memory bears for people who have lost someone. I make them out of a piece or two of clothing from the loved one and do it absolutely free. If you interested in doing something of that sort I would be more than happy to send you a pattern?
💙💙💙💙
When the negative people start paying your bills than and only than do they have the right to talk about your life and how you live it! So continue loving each other and prayers to you all.🙏🏻🤗🌻
You have a beautiful family and your life looks like it's exactly what you want yo do. That's the great life. If uour happy, great😊
You are a super family living life….. go for it! Xx❤❤
❤❤❤
I’m intrigued to hear more about the osteopath! I didn’t know such a doctor existed, but now that I do I’m going to ask for a referral and see what they say! Also, ugh…van life obviously brings you a ton of joy, how can people not see that? I also have colon cancer and I’m actually a little jealous!
Yes do so! We’d never heard about before either but it does give us hope about a fix! Look in to it and see if you can get a referral, definitely worth a try! Sorry to hear that you’re going through this journey too. Sending all strength and positivity to keep fighting💪🧡
Maybe when you are to donate those toys Patrik Sjöberg will show up instead....
