Tina I am still watching your video, but wish I was talking face to face with you! Lester told us you were going to release this video and encouraged us to watch it. GIRL,,, I survived stage 3 non Hodgkin cancer that I was diagnosed with in 2005, my youngest senior year of school. I like you would have done anything to not have had to worry my children! We are survivor sisters!!! NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR SHOWING EMOTION, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS!!! YOU EARNED THOSE TEARS! Love you girl! So very thankful you joined the Morrow hill gang
Congratulations on surviving your cancer. My husband has survived the same cancer in the ‘90s. We hadn’t met yet. He even was well enough to deploy to Iraq. Amazing.
20 years Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan gave me 5 yrs to live after masectomy & chemo for a stage 4 breast cancer mass. 5 yrs ago it metastasized i now have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in my pelvic bone. They gave me 3 yrs to live its been 5 and i am taking 1 day at a time i am actually doing very good at this time. Very active cut my own grass i live on approximately 1 acre. I have been using medical Marijuana for 20 years and i now only do a hormone blocker no more chemo👍 prayers to you and never give up and keep the positive mind set. My oncologist reminds and says you know you have stage4 metastatic cancer and i always respond with " And i dont have an expiration date on the bottom of my foot either" 🙏
Tina never apologize for getting emotional. We are all friends here. Your story I’m sure will be very inspirational to anyone going thru their cancer Journey. You are an amazing lady. So proud of you!
I agree! Talking about makes you a bigger better stronger person😊 take it from me a three-time breast cancer survivor (I don't call myself a SURVIVOR, I call myself a rebel /warrior)
Tina, you are not only a survivor, you are also a warrior. Your strength and determination carried you through the scariest time in your life. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Tina, what a powerful video! Such an important message you have shared. Thousands of people have watched this. You will never know, exactly, how many women you have helped. But, get ready for a landslide of thanks. You aren't just a Survivor, you are a Warrior!
Tina, I am a 33 year survivor of breast cancer. My son was only 5 months old when I found out. I was 35 years old at the time. The doctors gave me 6 months to a year to live. Well I’m still here! They call me the miracle kid! I did 2 and a half years of chemo. I was bald that whole time. I owned a hair salon at the time. I didn’t wear wigs I wore hats and still do…. I’m now 68 years old and sold my salon been retired now for 11 years. Since then I’ve been through a lot. Stokes, heart attacks, other types of cancer I could go on and on… but I’m still here! I’m so glad you are still here to !!❤ ❤❤ A lot of your story is about the same as mine…. There’s so much to my story that I haven’t gone in to also…..
Tina! I am also breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed stage 4 to which my oncologists told me to get my affairs in order ( got my will and funeral arrangements done) had three surgeries total mastectomy chemotherapy ( 10 sessions & 30 radiation sessions) One day I said out loud “ Jesus if you want me come and get me now” Well all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder and I felt a immense calm come upon my heart. Well it’s been 20 years and I am still here! Same with you, God has still things for you to do !
Bless you Tina, I just was diagnosed with lung cancer at 64. They caught it so early I only had to have 5 radiation treatments. My tumor was 1.6 cm, it shrunk down to .6 cm. I had all the cat scans and radiation pet scans and only had the one tumor. On September 26, I had my new scan it shrunk down to the .6 cm. I had so many people praying for me. I think he heard all the prayer. I am so glad you made it through that very scary ordeal...blessings for you Tina and Prayers...🙏🙏❤🥰
My sister was 37 when she got hers!! She had a very rough road, but she's now 66❤!! I'm glad Rob told you to get to the dr.!!! A brave story to share, on the eve of breast cancer awareness month. Stay well.
Don’t be sorry. YOU ARE A SURVIVOR, A WARRIOR. My mom is a two time survivor of breast cancer. I was diagnosed with the brca2 gene at 40 and opted to have a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Be proud Tina. Hugs. Thank you for sharing.
Tina, NEVER apologize about being so emotional. My niece was 35 yrs old with a baby and had breast cancer. It was hell. Thank you for sharing your story and may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family
I, also, have had breast cancer and like you, had a small child. I am soon to be 75, which makes me 35 years out. You know, Tina, hearing your story brought back so many memories. I would like to share with you that we are much more than survivors, we are CONQUERS. That faceless, evil, murdering, demon that came into our lives, did NOT get us. For that I give Jesus all the glory. Blessings my sister.
I’m stage 4 now and I’m 49. I had a DMX and my ovaries removed. Found cancer in my thyroid, removed. They found 3 spots on my skeleton. No chemo or radiation. I’m so glad you are sharing. You are a survivor. Hugs.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m a breast cancer survivor to ❤️ I get emotional when I go over my experience so don’t say sorry it’s a lot to process and go through.
Tina my dear ur a Amazing,Strong Women,I'm so Proud u have u went threw that and the Corarge to tell it God Bless you ❤God is Great I know u have a Big Brother that praises you. And Loves his Sister.I watch all ur videos I'm from Alberta Canada ♥️
I lost my only sibling, sister Barbara to breast cancer. I will always deeply mourn her absence. Barb fought for 5 years. Tina, loved hearing of your success story. Don’t be sorry for crying. I cried along with you.🌻❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are not just a Survivor, You are a "WARRIOR" !! I know as difficult as it was to relive this, Thank you for sharing... Your story is important for every women... And to know how important it is to have a mammogram... God Bless You Tina...
You have no reason to apologize and every reason to cry…thankfully tears of joy. You are a survivor and I certainly understand why Lester talks about how strong of woman you are. Thank You for sharing your story. 💗
Tina, that was absolutely one of the best, if not the best sharing of a breast cancer survivor story I've ever seen told. You shared and answered so many things with your journey, you shared your soul. Thank you for that, and I along with you praise God and thank Jesus for how he brought you thru and your healing. God gives us all assignments that only we can do to point others to him, and I believe this was one of your assignments. Well Done Princess Warrior!❤
🎉I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS. AT FIRST I WAS HESITANT BECAUSE IT WAS 40 MINUTES THEN I WENT TO THE KITCHEN AND HER VIDEO POPPED UP IN ROTATION AND I GOT MY COFFEE, REROUND IT AND SAT THERE NOT EVEN AWARE OF THE TIME. TINA WAS SMOOTH AND TO THE POINT BUT SHE FORGOT TO TELL US ABOUT DR. ORTEGA🤣 😂
OMG! Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be so incredibly vulnerable and sharing your story. You are incredibly brave and your humility and strength radiates so much. Lester wasn’t lying when he said your survival story was incredible. Thank you and may God and the Universe bless and protect you. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You don't know how many women you just encouraged to get their yearly mammogram! So many skip it! You as a young woman having it caught early...saved your life for sure! You may have saved someone elses life by sharing your story. Thank you Tina! 🎀💗🎀💗
🤗we all are truly all survivors of something, stroke survivor here, learning to walk again, you morrow mafia people have helped me out of some bad, dark days, truly a blessing finding this little piece of peace and happiness in your pages. Thank you for sharing your story with us 🙏❤️🤗

TODAY YOU SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES! 🥰 18,787 people have HEARD your heartfelt breast cancer story in the last 20 hours and I’m sure there will be many more views over the coming days, months, years. Your story blows apart the many “risk” factors that have been established and underlines that EVERY WOMAN OF EVERY AGE MUST CHECK THEIR BREASTS! Well done Tina and THANKYOU 🤗😎🥰🇬🇧
Tina I am a breast cancer survivor also. Cancer never leaves us, we have scars, tests and meds that continue to remind us of our heroic journey. I went through it pretty much alone and I am so proud of myself. Thank for sharing your story with us. Sending big hugs !!!
God Bless you. My oldest son Joshua had Leukemia in 2010 and he also is a survivor. God is a healing God. My momma had Lymphoma when I was a little girl and she told God let’s handle this. She never got cancer again. God Bless you ❤❤❤❤
Tina, don’t ever be sorry for anything!! You went through the worst ordeal imaginable and if you want to cry ……. You cry…… for the grace of God you are here and happy. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing! I am an oncology nurse and do everything from caring for sick to chemotherapy and in between. I am celebrating and rejoicing with you!!! I know your story touched everyone and I’m sure there is a person who is going through the same or similar experience that you are encouraging and giving strength to. ❤
Tina you don't have to apologize for being human. I am 70. I lost my mom when she was 39 and my first cousin who was like a sister i lost her when she was 31. My cousin's daughter just went through the same thing you went through. She got tested for the Barc and was positive. Her daughters went to be tested and are negative. I was 18 when they found a lump in my right breast it was negative. When I was 21 i was not so lucky. At 21 I had a double mastectomy. Loosing my mom at 13 her being 39 i was scared so bad. Yeah i was married with a 1 year old son. I was small breasted. All my husband could ask was how much bigger he could make my implants. They didn't have the stretchers back then. Basically he told him you can't put a cantleope in the space of a lemon. Well because of what the doctor said i went to my radiation and chemo by myself. I was so sick. I thank God everyday for my aunt. She took care of me and my son. Tina you have such a support system. I can only imagine how emotional it had to be for your mom and dad to had to tell them. I so hope you find your fur baby. The lil goats will be so cared for. Your dad and mom are amazing. Hes going through things now with loosing Johnny and now with Heidi. I am praying for Heidi and your dad. Your family are the sweetest people. I wish there would be a way y'all could have a meet and greet for your family and your subscribers. That would be awesome to meet your whole family. Your place at the lake is nice can't wait to see the rv there and y'all spending time there.
We are here for you Tina! You are beautiful, confident and a your are a Survivor of a horrible disease! I soooo glad that your brother introduced your channel to all of us and I thank god everyday for you and your families video’s! Y’all video’s what keep me going everyday! Thank You to all the Morrow Family for all your love, compassion and sharing your everyday life with us! God Bless You and I will keep y’all in my thoughts and prayers daily!! ❤❤❤ y’all!!
Tina, no need for you to apologize as you went thru a horrific ordeal and I am so glad you came out a winner. You and the whole Morrow family are so caring and loving. Thank you for sharing your survival story. Wishing you the best of health from this day forward.
My mother had cancer when I was small. It was in the 60s so we were blessed and so very lucky she was a survivor. I don’t remember anything but what I’ve been told. I think your sons would want to hear your story. It helps me understand what my mom went through. I just went through cancer treatment with my husband. It’s been a hard year. Thank for bringing your Morrow stories to us
Tina, it is a hard thing to go through and I am in your corner. In 2010 at 63 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. First indication was they would perform a lumpectomy. But my surgeon elected to do an MRI and he came back and said it would have to be a mastectomy. There was a lot of other stuff along with this, but the bottom line was the mass that was analyzed indicated there was a 5% chance that cancer would recur and chemo and radiation was not done. I took tamoxifen for 5 yrs. I was pretty confident that all was well until 10 years later in 2020 as the U.S. shut down from Covid, I was told by my surgeon that the biopsy that I had indicated Metastatic Breast Cancer. I was devastated because my mom had fallen and had to go into rehab and I couldn’t get into the facility to see her because of Covid and beginning treatment for the return cancer. Nothing was going right. This time was very lonely because you couldn’t do anything, go anywhere or see anybody. The medication that I have to take for the rest of my life causes low white blood count and my immune system does not protect me very well from infection. I have to be careful what I do, where I go and who I am around. I had my third set of scans in three years and I will find out Friday what they show. Life is not the same anymore and I live in fear of where the cancer will go next. At 76 years old I live one day at a time and prepare for the next life event. I have to remember that God is in charge and I accept that. Keep telling your story to encourage others to act before it is too late.
Kim don't apologize for crying, or getting off task, this was a tough story to tell! You went through a hell of a battle and you are very brave! I'm so glad everything turned out so well for you! I had triple-negative aggressive invasive intraductal cancer, I'm so blessed that I get regular mammograms and I caught it right away, because triple-negative has a very dismal outcome if it goes too far! You can go through all the treatments and a week or two after you're done, it can come back with a vengeance, and it's pretty much over after that! I was very lucky, I was one CM away from having to get chemo, I had a biopsy, I had multiple lymph nodes removed, thank God the lymph nodes were clear, I had three places in my left breast that had multiple cancer cells, and I had 31 radiation treatments! Several weeks into my radiation treatments, I had radiation burns under my breast where the skin broke down and all the skin was gone, it was pretty painful, and it's a hard place to heal! After eight years they found something in the other breast I was terrified! I went through three mammograms, two ultrasounds, and then finally a biopsy! And thankfully after all that it wasn't cancer! You're amazing Tina, and I'm so glad that you're here with your family, and all of us viewers, that really care about you and your family! 💞🌹
Thank you for sharing your story with us, I know it is very emotional to remember about your children. When was 22, I had 3 children the youngest was a newborn. I had a Grand Mal seizure, I was taken by ambulance to the ER, after an exam, they said I could have a brain tumor. I was a wreck waiting for all the test to determine what was wrong with me. In the meantime I spent the whole time worried about what would happen to my babies. At the time there was no one I trusted enough to raise them and love them as I did. Afer several months I got a brain scan, EEG, XRays, etc, thank God they only found scar tissue on the right side of my brain. They decided to treat me for Epilepsy, prescribed me Dilantin and Phynabarbatol, which made me almost like a zombie. So I do understand how you felt about your boys. You are very blessed to have Robert there to back you up. My ex was not supportive, I couldn't have any outward emotions because he had a tendency to mock me and tell me to suck it up. So I admire Robert for being there for you.
We are survivor sisters!!! I was 28 years old,small boys when I was diagnosed. Never apologised for your tears you earned them. I shed a lot of tears. I am 71 years old now and I still think about it. The pain being so scared I never see my boys grow up and now I have 10 grandchildren. I am so happy that your husband had you go in right away, those who wait or not so lucky. Love you.💞
My sister went through this as well. She also got the red devil. Thank you for sharing this, Tina. Nobidy in my family knows anyone who beat their cancer. I am now hopeful my sister will also have a similar outcome with hers. Hers was quite advanced by the time she started treatment though. Please, never feel bad for showing emotion. You are human and you have conquered an incredibly scary and traumatic situation in life. Thank you again for sharing. Im so honored and blessed to have been able to hear your story.
Tina, thank you so much for opening up to us. It's not easy to do what you just did, so do not be sorry and do not apologize for sharing your story and be emotional about it . Yes, you are a survivor, but more than that, you are a warrior as I often call my daughter. She had ovarian cancer in 2007 when she was 31 years "young". Like in your case, this was a very agresive cancer, and they had to do a total hysterectomy followed by strong chemotherapy. She was very sick. With God's help, she won the war against that cancer. However, she had to take hormones, and 5 years later, she had breast cancer. This cancer was not related to the first one, according to the test she went through. We think it was the hormones. She didn't have a tumor, it was spread in her breast and was told she had to do a mastectomy. She went for the double one for the same reason as you did, fortunately this time she didn't need chemotherapy. She didn't want to be afraid when the next cancer would show up. With God help, again, she won this war as well. This is the reason I tell her she is my warrior. Thank you and God Bless you and protect you.
Tina you are so amazing for telling your story. You probably will never know who you help. You are a survivor as we all are survivors of something. Thank you sweet lady for telling it. You did wonderful and never apologize for your tears, you earned them. God bless you. See there was a reason you finally joined the Morrows with your channel.
My Mother passed from lung cancer it was so hard for all of us she did all her treatments but it moved so fast to her brain, what a blessing you survive Tina ❤
Tina, my heart was with you as you told your story. I too am a survivor of breast cancer, which I had in 2004. I was a widow with three children and had surgery, chemo and radiation and lost my hair, thankfully with help from family and friends I’ve come through it, like you I’m forever grateful. Don’t be ashamed of your tears as I think we deserve them. Sending You Love and thanks for your bravery in telling your story.💐💕
Tina I lost 3 aunt's & 4 cousins & 2 nieces to breast cancer!!! I have had cancer cells for the past 17 years but they are not active cells!!! I have to have a mammogram every 4-6 months!!! I hate it but it's necessary!!! I am now 65 !!! They explained to me that every person has cancer cells in their body!!! You just have to pray they do not become active!!! My daughter had uterine cancer & had to have a complete hysterectomy at the age of 34!!! My daughter is a survivor & so are you!!! 😀😀😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Tina...Thanks for sharing your story...I lost both my parents to cancer..my dad in 2004...my mom 2022..so I know how devastating the diagnosis can be...I'm an only child..no family left..but you are a true Suvivor and I'm proud of you for sharing your story...because maybe it will save someone's life...
Wow, that was powerful. What a experience you told. You are definitely someone to admire! A strong, brave, fiercely loving Mamma and wife, who survived the battle of your life and I couldn’t be happier that you were able to knock the heck out of cancer and are with us today, still able to be sitting outside, enjoying your freshly cut grass, telling us such a touching, emotional experience in your life. You embody a true fighter and a survivor indeed!
I am so thankful for your story. I lost my daughter-inlaw to breast cancer and i had no idea of her pain and suffering. I went with her when she had her chemo treatments but she NEVER spoke of any pain or suffering. My son shaved her head when her hair started to fall out. She had a wig but chose not to wear it. This was her way of making people aware of breast cancer. Bald is beautiful! She beat it but 3 years later it came back everywhere and it beat her. Im so greatful for you and your story as it is her story also.
My mom has two rare skin cancers and will pass with it. She has survived over 25 years with it now. My dad died at 35 with esophagus cancer. I was only six but things the lord he has kept my mother around and he continues to keep her healthy in here for her kids and her grandkids.
What a testimony you have! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your story. I am a former Oncology Nurse & then Hospice Nurse. My best friend went through breast cancer. Both of my parents died from cancer. Your story will really help others!! Other cancer survivors AND people who are struggling with other equally debilitating things. I can only imagine how painful & scary it is to be so transparent BUT you did it & put it out there & good things will come from it. Much love to you!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I had a hysterectomy at age 36. They put me on a very strong hormone so not to get hot flashes. Didn't work. It cause my breast to grow enormous. When I was 60 I couldn't stand them anymore and had reconstruction surgery on them they removed 7 pounds from each side. The back and neck hurt so bad from them. You are a very strong person and thank you again.
Tina you did a wonderful job telling your story. I am so proud of how strong you were and still are. Never apologize for getting emotional. I bet most of us were crying right along with you. I praise God right along with you that you’re here to tell your story of survival! My own sister and sister in law are breast cancer survivors, as well.😭❤❤
Thank You Tina for sharing your story. You are an amazing lady! Please never feel like you need to ever apologize for showing us your emotions. You are a SURVIVOR and there is nothing at all wrong with showing your emotions! I lost my daughter to kidney cancer 2 years ago she fought a very short and hard battle but she just wasn't strong enough for it. She left behind my 4 beautiful grandbabies. Cancer truly sucks but I love hearing the survivor stories. Love, Hugs and prayers to you beautiful
My mother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September 2017 and died in November 2017. She knew about the lump for a year and never did anything about and it had spread all throughout her body,including her brain,lungs,liver,blood,spine,ect…So proud of you for being so strong and what you have been through. Thank God for your self exam and early detection. Cancer is the devil. For all women out there preventative medicine is the best medicine. Sending much love Tina… You are a strong woman and God bless you.
Tina thank you for sharing your story. My Nana died of breast cancer and it was a horrendous process. You just like the rest of the Morrows are one tough human being. Keep praising God and taking care of yourself.
Tina ,never,never apologize for getting emotional or crying when talking about your breast cancer! 😢 Thank You So Very Much for sharing your story!! You should be so proud of yourself!💕
You’re story is very inspirational! My mother died of Breast cancer when I was 34. She was diagnosed when I was 17. Never be ashamed of crying. I cry almost every time I have a mammogram. I’m now 66. My mom was 67 when she passed. I’m thankful I’ve made it this long cancer free. I never think about the possibility of cancer except when I’m having a mammogram and then I just fall apart. So the fear is buried somewhere down deep inside. When you’ve seen the worst it’s wonderful to hear overcomer stories. I’ve been watching Lester a long time now so it’s lovely getting to know you!💕
My friend had cancer in her limp notes,she fought for 15 years I was with her for as many of her chemo treatments as possible,it was so hard for her and all the other patients,the nurses were busy , I just wanna say you are a strong woman and I’m sending you as many hugs as you may need, God bless you always 🙏🏻❤️
Bless you! I admire your finishing college and not letting a depression take over. I am a breast cancer free for 12 years now. I had to do the sentinel node removal and tumor removal with chemo and radiation. Blessedly I didn’t have to have a masectomy and know that part was a very harsh one. 💞. Bless you for sharing your story to encourage others!
Ive never had someone tell they're cancer story so intelligently. Ty for sharing and we can give God all the glory because he was with you all the way. So glad you're here with us today. Youre such a vital part of the Marrows life. God continues to use you, never forget that❤
Tina, we LOVE you for sharing. My mom's a breast cancer survivor and she won't share about it even though she had a remarkable surgery to remove the entire breast and replace it with stomach tissue thru a skin bridge. You ARE a phenomenal survivor and your light shines even more brightly now.
Tina, I watch your survivor story I also survived cancer 7 years ago. The worst for me was setting up a power of attorney so my oldest daughter would be able to take my 12 year old. I was a widow I lost my husband in 2011 to a heart attack. Thank God I survived. He is now 18. I’m so glad you had a wonderful outcome all so. Us mom fight so hard for our kids. ❤
Tina, you are such a courageous person to tell your story and go through it all again. Thirty one years of my thirty five years as an RN I was a pediatric oncology nurse. I do understand what you went through seeing my little patients go through chemotherapy and radiation. Mouth sores was one of the worst things to watch them have to go through. I’m so thankful you are doing so well. We know there are miracles from God.
Never, ever, apologize for a life changing, heroic, story like this. I’m so grateful that you shared this with us. After all, we’re all survivors of something. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Tina As you can see there are many of us praising you for being strong person to share your story. I am a survivor also. I developed cancer in 2010. I had two types invasive and encapsulated. Fortunately the invasive had not broken thru the cell wall. I was lucky. I went thru chemo and radiation also. For me I had just gone thru a very difficult divorce and moved to another state where my daughter lived. She helped me thru it all. Two years ago my daughter went thru a double mastectomy, which what I wished I had done, because I go every year for a sonogram. The best part was this year (13 yrs ) later my oncologist released me from his care. Thank you for sharing your story, I believe it will help others who may be going thru the same issues. May Gold bless you and your family. I watch all.
Wow! What an amazing survivor story. Thank you for being so vulnerable to share. I was crying from the start. You are such a thorough storyteller. I love details as that is what makes a story. I’m sorry you and your family had to experience horrible cancer. I am happy you beat cancer. I lost my dear big sister to cancer a few months ago. Everything you share in experience of the treatments was my sister’s experience. Unfortunately GOD called her home in the middle of her battle. I cry for many reasons in listening to your story as one being that you were so selfless and priority was shielding your babies from living that experience. 😢 I also relate to the selfless and loving support Lou’ gave. My sister would always thank me for what I did for her. I’m like sis you know we will do whatever to help you fight this battle because we love you. Finally, I just love Rob. What a loving man and partner. It tore me up when you said he fell out when the news was shared. He loves you! I do appreciate the humor in that piece of the story that you shared. Your story has allowed me to have a good cry this morning in pulling forward some emotions I feel I had compartmentalized from my sister’s recent passing. Today is also my mom’s birthday as we lost her in 2011. I can only smile as your strong love and protection of your boys reminds me of my mom and how she was about her boys. Thanks again and I look forward to following you and Rob. *New subscriber- Paul*
Thank you for sharing your journey. Don’t worry about the tears. Lester cries all the time 😊 in his videos. But seriously. What a survivors story. Your strength to protect your young boys from that is amazing. Thank you for allowing us to hear this story. And to be able to celebrate your healing. Praise God.
Tina, thank you for sharing your story. You are a warrior! I am an advocate for earlier mammograms, a base line at 30 is so needed. My daughter was diagnosed in 2016 with stage 4 MBS at 37, with 2 young boys, it was a very aggressive type & no lump ever felt, discovered by MRI for hip & back pain, it had spread thru most of her body.She fought a valiant battle for 3 long years. We saw so many young women in their 30’s going thru chemo, and they are making great strides with treatments, but we need earlier detection! You are a welcome addition, I love watching all of your families videos.❤
So many Hugs to ease your tears 😢. Such a beautiful story…very meaningful and will help others identify cancer and could keep them alive. So educational…This is a legacy video…Great Job!
Tina it has taken me awhile to watch your story.. My mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer when she was 42. I am so happy you survived. Unfortunately my Mom passed at 44. Things were different back in 1980. This hits home for a lot of us but you are a survivor and this gives hope to so many women!
Knowing that there is a happy ending with you sitting outside telling us your survival story kept me from sobbing. Praise God, for your quick response to the discovery of the lump. I was fortunate that the lump I found in 1991 at 38 was a thick cluster of fibrous tissue that was removed so that the mammogram could see past it. Mammograms are so much better now! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Hopefully, young women will be encouraged to practice their self examinations and seek care if needed. Best wishes 🌸
God bless you Tina. You are a true survivor. You're a beautiful woman. My mom had breast cancer but only needed radiation treatments no chemo but my mother in law had what you did. I'm so happy you caught it early. Thank you for sharing your story. I know it must have been hard to talk about but you are awesome. We love you ❤
I am also a survivor. I discovered my lump in 2004. My story is similar to yours but the adriamyacin nearly killed me. I wound up in anaphalactic shock twice before my oncologist decided my body just could not tolerate it. So he gave me some other chemo meds which extended my treatment time to 8 months. I didn't have radiation. I also elected not to do reconstructive surgery because my cousin had so many problems with hers that I decided not to attempt it. I've wished many times I had done it but have grown accustomed to wearing the prosthesis. Nearly 20 years later and I'm still kicking!
I lost my dad 3 weeks after he was diagnosed with “ treatable” gastric cancer. We went to Virginia Mason hospital in Seattle and saw one of the top 5 doctors in the US who specialized in stomach cancer. Not even he could save him or give him time to process his last days on earth. He went so fast. Hardest thing my family ever had to go through. I cried silent tears everyday for a year. My heart might not be full but I have found a way to continue on without him. I just miss him. I miss talking to him. He passed away Nov 21, 2019. During that grieving process, I found the IMA Survivor facebook page. I watched the videos daily. It gave me something to focus on instead of grief. Lester and Jami will never realize how much they helped me during the worst time in my life. simple joys, a little chuckle and a smile gave me hope. I will forever be grateful for Huck and Shirley videos. ❤ Tina ,your a survivor and your video will touch the hearts of others and give hope to the lives of those who need it. ❤
Yes, you are a beautiful survivor and I thank you so much for sharing your story ❣️. My baby sister will attest to the pain of that nipple shot….fortunately, they removed the lump, 23 lymph node’s, and no chem required….just 4 weeks of radiation…..and10 years clear. Jesus always gets the praise!
I just lost my brother to esophagus cancer, 14 months ago. Watching his suffering was the hardest. MD Anderson made him take the c-v shot before they would even see him. Then told him there was nothing they could do. So you'll have to excuse my bitterness towards them. I'm glad they helped you. I believe your family has Godly favor. I know it may not seem that way with everything that you have had to overcome. But looking from the outside in, you see God's hands in all of it.
Tina you are a warrior! Years ago I was on a team of Ride to Ride out cancer and we had a float in the Derby Parade all dressed in Pink & White baseball uniforms and our float was called survivor field and we had local breast cancer survivors. We were so proud to be in the parade and to support cancer survivors. I have some best friends that have survived but still have lingering issues years later from the damage of the chemo and radiation so you are so blessed to not have that and to do as well as you have. Blessed be as God brought you thru this!
Thank you for sharing. I'm a 3-time cancer survivor. I've been blessed with good doctors also. I'm now on hormone replacement therapy. Supposedly to keep me cancer free . Thank you, Jesus. 😊 ❤ 😊
Tina, please don’t apologize for crying, it was a life saving decision you had gone through. I’m so glad you explained what happened because I never knew what happens when someone goes through breast cancer. You and your family are a God send and I myself appreciate you all.
Tina, thank you for sharing your story. I had DCIS stage 0 in 2021. This is a very early stage of breast cancer with a high level of successful cure rate. I had a lumpectomy and 20 rounds of radiation and now I have to take an estrogen lowering pill for 5 yrs. By the grace of God. I did very well with the treatment. I admire you for sharing your journey. It's a story that someone dealing with their own battle may have needed to hear today! God Bless you. ❤
Tina, I truly 🎀 appreciate hearing your survival story and am thankful God has encouraged us through this. You are beautiful, perservering, and such a blessing to all who know you.
I too was diagnosed with breast cancer is March of 2008. I found mine while in the shower. I also had the red devil.... when I was listening to your story, you were telling mine!!! We are survivor sisters. My church family was not there, the church that I was born and raised in.... please continue to tell your story as I have found it helps me.
Oh Tina…please don’t apologize! You are so amazing, strong and beautiful! I can’t imagine all of the mental and physical turmoil that you went through! I admire your strength to not only go through what you did but to be able to sit there and tell your survivor story! Just know that you have touched so many of us and I thank you for opening up to us! And yea I cried right along with you! You’re right about God! He carried you through this…the footprints in the sand story came to my mind. There were two sets of footprints in the sand while you were going to school…then one set of footprints while you were going through cancer cause he was carrying you! He has a much bigger plan for you! Sending so much love and respect to you girl! ❤️🙏🏻🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your survivor story. It's a very important message that women need to hear. Never apologize for showing your emotions. I'm sure many of us (me) had tissues & were crying along with you. My mom was 79 years old when a small lump was found, she had the biopsy, was told it was cancer & told her options. She decided to have a mastectomy, they also removed the lymph nodes. Thankfully the were able to get all of the cancer, she didn't have to go through chemo or radiation but was on oral medications for about 10-12 years until her doctor said she didn't need them any longer. I know that not everyone's story is different. I had to have a biopsy one time, thankfully it was a benign cyst, I am faithful in getting a mammogram every year.
Tina you are a Survivor and I can't imagine what you went through. I applaud you for your strength and finishing your college degree in such a hard time in your life. Never feel ashamed for showing your emotions that was a hard time for you. Your amazing and beautiful and have done an amazing job with your sons and have an amazing husband. I wish you nothing but the best in life! 🎉❤❤❤
Your story is priceless Tina. You are priceless. Being a caregiver for my mom back in the late 80's and early 90's was rough.I'm 52 now but I was in 12th grade when my mom got sick and being her only girl and youngest out of 6 kids I took it upon myself to be there for her through everything. My dad was there too but he had his problems and I cared for him as well. I gave up 5yrs of free fully paid college to be there for them and I would do it again if I had to. We only get one mom and dad in our lifes and I will never regret making the choices I did. I've seen things no one should ever see. Because of that I'm a stronger person. With what you went through Tina makes you who you are today. A strong, beautiful, caring human who did everything she could to protect her boys so you could be here now for them. Be proud of your story and how far you've come because there's some out there who just give up. You didn't. Don't ever be scared to tell your story, because someone out there needed to hear it I'm sure. You're blessed and loved.💟 and keep climbing that ladder of blessings!
Praise God for modern medicine! I lost my mom in 1952 to this terrible disease. I was 12 years old at the time. If it happened now, she quite possibly would have survived. Thank you for sharing your story with us. An old timer like me remembers only the early days of treatment. Thank you for bringing me out of the “dark ages”.
Ohhh that was a hard watch but thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing with us. Your bravery shines through. I bet your boys were on your mind the entire time. I imagine making this video (and probably reading the comments) might be emotionally draining but I bet it will help so many. And I hope you found some healing in sharing your journey too. Thank you again ❤
Thank you Tina for sharing your breast cancer journey with us. I too am a breast cancer survivor of 20+ years. Never be sorry for being emotional telling your story it’s our life and it was a very difficult time. God has blessed us with healing so we can share our experiences with others and give them hope. We are survivors! Love you Tina and thanks again for sharing your journey! ❤️❤️
Tina I am still watching your video, but wish I was talking face to face with you! Lester told us you were going to release this video and encouraged us to watch it. GIRL,,, I survived stage 3 non Hodgkin cancer that I was diagnosed with in 2005, my youngest senior year of school. I like you would have done anything to not have had to worry my children! We are survivor sisters!!! NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR SHOWING EMOTION, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS!!! YOU EARNED THOSE TEARS! Love you girl! So very thankful you joined the Morrow hill gang
❤
Congratulations on surviving your cancer. My husband has survived the same cancer in the ‘90s. We hadn’t met yet. He even was well enough to deploy to Iraq. Amazing.
May God continue to bless you with good health. Big hugs.
❤
20 years Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan gave me 5 yrs to live after masectomy & chemo for a stage 4 breast cancer mass. 5 yrs ago it metastasized i now have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in my pelvic bone.
They gave me 3 yrs to live its been 5 and i am taking 1 day at a time i am actually doing very good at this time. Very active cut my own grass i live on approximately 1 acre. I have been using medical Marijuana for 20 years and i now only do a hormone blocker no more chemo👍 prayers to you and never give up and keep the positive mind set. My oncologist reminds and says you know you have stage4 metastatic cancer and i always respond with " And i dont have an expiration date on the bottom of my foot either" 🙏
Tina never apologize for getting emotional. We are all friends here. Your story I’m sure will be very inspirational to anyone going thru their cancer Journey. You are an amazing lady. So proud of you!
I agree! Talking about makes you a bigger better stronger person😊 take it from me a three-time breast cancer survivor (I don't call myself a SURVIVOR, I call myself a rebel /warrior)
@@faithmustone2261 yeah mine are battle scars...a battle to live❤❤❤❤warrior is awesome too
You have told your story beautifully.
You are amazing .Thank you for sharing your story.
Tina, you are not only a survivor, you are also a warrior. Your strength and determination carried you through the scariest time in your life. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Tina, what a powerful video! Such an important message you have shared. Thousands of people have watched this. You will never know, exactly, how many women you have helped. But, get ready for a landslide of thanks. You aren't just a Survivor, you are a Warrior!
Tina, I am a 33 year survivor of breast cancer. My son was only 5 months old when I found out. I was 35 years old at the time. The doctors gave me 6 months to a year to live. Well I’m still here! They call me the miracle kid! I did 2 and a half years of chemo. I was bald that whole time. I owned a hair salon at the time. I didn’t wear wigs I wore hats and still do…. I’m now 68 years old and sold my salon been retired now for 11 years. Since then I’ve been through a lot. Stokes, heart attacks, other types of cancer I could go on and on… but I’m still here! I’m so glad you are still here to !!❤ ❤❤ A lot of your story is about the same as mine…. There’s so much to my story that I haven’t gone in to also…..
Wow! You have been through it, praise God you are still here❤️
Tina! I am also breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed stage 4 to which my oncologists told me to get my affairs in order ( got my will and funeral arrangements done) had three surgeries total mastectomy chemotherapy ( 10 sessions & 30 radiation sessions)
One day I said out loud “ Jesus if you want me come and get me now” Well all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder and I felt a immense calm come upon my heart. Well it’s been 20 years and I am still here! Same with you, God has still things for you to do !
God Bless you 🙏😇❤️
Wow❗That was a powerful message. 🙏❤️
Oh wow!! You are truly a survivor.💕
Bless you Tina, I just was diagnosed with lung cancer at 64. They caught it so early I only had to have 5 radiation treatments. My tumor was 1.6 cm, it shrunk down to .6 cm. I had all the cat scans and radiation pet scans and only had the one tumor. On September 26, I had my new scan it shrunk down to the .6 cm. I had so many people praying for me. I think he heard all the prayer. I am so glad you made it through that very scary ordeal...blessings for you Tina and Prayers...🙏🙏❤🥰
My sister was 37 when she got hers!! She had a very rough road, but she's now 66❤!! I'm glad Rob told you to get to the dr.!!! A brave story to share, on the eve of breast cancer awareness month. Stay well.
Don’t be sorry. YOU ARE A SURVIVOR, A WARRIOR. My mom is a two time survivor of breast cancer. I was diagnosed with the brca2 gene at 40 and opted to have a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Be proud Tina. Hugs. Thank you for sharing.
Kim you are amazing. Neve ever apologize for what happened to you.
@@lorimitchell8827Tina
This Kim's sister tina
They look a lot alike
Tina, NEVER apologize about being so emotional. My niece was 35 yrs old with a baby and had breast cancer. It was hell. Thank you for sharing your story and may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family
May God bless your niece with healing.
I, also, have had breast cancer and like you, had a small child. I am soon to be 75, which makes me 35 years out. You know, Tina, hearing your story brought back so many memories. I would like to share with you that we are much more than survivors, we are CONQUERS. That faceless, evil, murdering, demon that came into our lives, did NOT get us. For that I give Jesus all the glory. Blessings my sister.
I’m stage 4 now and I’m 49. I had a DMX and my ovaries removed. Found cancer in my thyroid, removed. They found 3 spots on my skeleton. No chemo or radiation. I’m so glad you are sharing. You are a survivor. Hugs.
I will be praying for you may Yehovah bless and heal you.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m a breast cancer survivor to ❤️ I get emotional when I go over my experience so don’t say sorry it’s a lot to process and go through.
You are in my prayers🙏🏻❤️💪🏻
May God bless you with great doctors and medication to heal your cancer.

Tina, loved hearing of your success story.
Don’t be sorry for crying.
I cried along with you.🌻❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We’re here for you Tina. Don’t apologize for having emotions. It’s very hard to talk to a bunch of strangers about your most personal struggles.
You are not just a Survivor, You are a "WARRIOR" !!
I know as difficult as it was to relive this, Thank you for sharing... Your story is important for every women... And to know how important it is to have a mammogram...
God Bless You Tina...
You have no reason to apologize and every reason to cry…thankfully tears of joy. You are a survivor and I certainly understand why Lester talks about how strong of woman you are. Thank You for sharing your story. 💗
Tina, that was absolutely one of the best, if not the best sharing of a breast cancer survivor story I've ever seen told. You shared and answered so many things with your journey, you shared your soul. Thank you for that, and I along with you praise God and thank Jesus for how he brought you thru and your healing. God gives us all assignments that only we can do to point others to him, and I believe this was one of your assignments. Well Done Princess Warrior!❤
🎉I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS. AT FIRST I WAS HESITANT BECAUSE IT WAS 40 MINUTES THEN I WENT TO THE KITCHEN AND HER VIDEO POPPED UP IN ROTATION AND I GOT MY COFFEE, REROUND IT AND SAT THERE NOT EVEN AWARE OF THE TIME. TINA WAS SMOOTH AND TO THE POINT BUT SHE FORGOT TO TELL US ABOUT DR. ORTEGA🤣 😂
. Yes she did forget the good-looking doctor......maybe
We'll hear about him on one of Jami's "girl's nite out"' party‼️🥂👍😄
OMG! Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be so incredibly vulnerable and sharing your story. You are incredibly brave and your humility and strength radiates so much. Lester wasn’t lying when he said your survival story was incredible. Thank you and may God and the Universe bless and protect you. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You don't know how many women you just encouraged to get their yearly mammogram! So many skip it! You as a young woman having it caught early...saved your life for sure! You may have saved someone elses life by sharing your story. Thank you Tina! 🎀💗🎀💗
🤗we all are truly all survivors of something, stroke survivor here, learning to walk again, you morrow mafia people have helped me out of some bad, dark days, truly a blessing finding this little piece of peace and happiness in your pages. Thank you for sharing your story with us 🙏❤️🤗

TODAY YOU SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES! 🥰
18,787 people have HEARD your heartfelt breast cancer story in the last 20 hours and I’m sure there will be many more views over the coming days, months, years. Your story blows apart the many “risk” factors that have been established and underlines that EVERY WOMAN OF EVERY AGE MUST CHECK THEIR BREASTS!
Well done Tina and THANKYOU 🤗😎🥰🇬🇧
You are a cancer survivor. Thank you for sharing your story, to help many others going through breast cancer. Detect it early. So proud of you Tina.
Tina I am a breast cancer survivor also. Cancer never leaves us, we have scars, tests and meds that continue to remind us of our heroic journey. I went through it pretty much alone and I am so proud of myself. Thank for sharing your story with us. Sending big hugs !!!
God Bless you. My oldest son Joshua had Leukemia in 2010 and he also is a survivor. God is a healing God. My momma had Lymphoma when I was a little girl and she told God let’s handle this. She never got cancer again. God Bless you ❤❤❤❤
Girl! I’m bawling!!! I lost my momma to cancer. My heart broke for you! What an amazing woman you are!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Tina, don’t ever be sorry for anything!! You went through the worst ordeal imaginable and if you want to cry ……. You cry…… for the grace of God you are here and happy. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tina you are so brave. to bring your story of surviving breast cancer to us. Blessings to you ❤🙏❤
Thank you for sharing! I am an oncology nurse and do everything from caring for sick to chemotherapy and in between. I am celebrating and rejoicing with you!!! I know your story touched everyone and I’m sure there is a person who is going through the same or similar experience that you are encouraging and giving strength to. ❤
My Oncology nurse was AMAZING. Thank you for what you do.
Tina you don't have to apologize for being human. I am 70. I lost my mom when she was 39 and my first cousin who was like a sister i lost her when she was 31. My cousin's daughter just went through the same thing you went through. She got tested for the Barc and was positive. Her daughters went to be tested and are negative. I was 18 when they found a lump in my right breast it was negative. When I was 21 i was not so lucky. At 21 I had a double mastectomy. Loosing my mom at 13 her being 39 i was scared so bad. Yeah i was married with a 1 year old son. I was small breasted. All my husband could ask was how much bigger he could make my implants. They didn't have the stretchers back then. Basically he told him you can't put a cantleope in the space of a lemon. Well because of what the doctor said i went to my radiation and chemo by myself. I was so sick. I thank God everyday for my aunt. She took care of me and my son. Tina you have such a support system. I can only imagine how emotional it had to be for your mom and dad to had to tell them. I so hope you find your fur baby. The lil goats will be so cared for. Your dad and mom are amazing. Hes going through things now with loosing Johnny and now with Heidi. I am praying for Heidi and your dad. Your family are the sweetest people. I wish there would be a way y'all could have a meet and greet for your family and your subscribers. That would be awesome to meet your whole family. Your place at the lake is nice can't wait to see the rv there and y'all spending time there.
You got me crying because even 30+years later thinking about my babies without their mom it was ABSOLUTELY the hardest part 💔
We are here for you Tina! You are beautiful, confident and a your are a Survivor of a horrible disease! I soooo glad that your brother introduced your channel to all of us and I thank god everyday for you and your families video’s! Y’all video’s what keep me going everyday! Thank You to all the Morrow Family for all your love, compassion and sharing your everyday life with us! God Bless You and I will keep y’all in my thoughts and prayers daily!! ❤❤❤ y’all!!
Tina, no need for you to apologize as you went thru a horrific ordeal and I am so glad you came out a winner. You and the whole Morrow family are so caring and loving. Thank you for sharing your survival story. Wishing you the best of health from this day forward.
Please don't ever apologize to anyone! Thank you for sharing your story! God Bless you Girl!!!
I applaud your bravery sharing this with us. I join you in thanking God that you are a survivor.
My mother had cancer when I was small. It was in the 60s so we were blessed and so very lucky she was a survivor. I don’t remember anything but what I’ve been told. I think your sons would want to hear your story. It helps me understand what my mom went through. I just went through cancer treatment with my husband. It’s been a hard year. Thank for bringing your Morrow stories to us
Tina, it is a hard thing to go through and I am in your corner. In 2010 at 63 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. First indication was they would perform a lumpectomy. But my surgeon elected to do an MRI and he came back and said it would have to be a mastectomy. There was a lot of other stuff along with this, but the bottom line was the mass that was analyzed indicated there was a 5% chance that cancer would recur and chemo and radiation was not done. I took tamoxifen for 5 yrs. I was pretty confident that all was well until 10 years later in 2020 as the U.S. shut down from Covid, I was told by my surgeon that the biopsy that I had indicated Metastatic Breast Cancer. I was devastated because my mom had fallen and had to go into rehab and I couldn’t get into the facility to see her because of Covid and beginning treatment for the return cancer. Nothing was going right. This time was very lonely because you couldn’t do anything, go anywhere or see anybody. The medication that I have to take for the rest of my life causes low white blood count and my immune system does not protect me very well from infection. I have to be careful what I do, where I go and who I am around. I had my third set of scans in three years and I will find out Friday what they show. Life is not the same anymore and I live in fear of where the cancer will go next. At 76 years old I live one day at a time and prepare for the next life event. I have to remember that God is in charge and I accept that. Keep telling your story to encourage others to act before it is too late.
Kim don't apologize for crying, or getting off task, this was a tough story to tell! You went through a hell of a battle and you are very brave! I'm so glad everything turned out so well for you! I had triple-negative aggressive invasive intraductal cancer, I'm so blessed that I get regular mammograms and I caught it right away, because triple-negative has a very dismal outcome if it goes too far! You can go through all the treatments and a week or two after you're done, it can come back with a vengeance, and it's pretty much over after that! I was very lucky, I was one CM away from having to get chemo, I had a biopsy, I had multiple lymph nodes removed, thank God the lymph nodes were clear, I had three places in my left breast that had multiple cancer cells, and I had 31 radiation treatments! Several weeks into my radiation treatments, I had radiation burns under my breast where the skin broke down and all the skin was gone, it was pretty painful, and it's a hard place to heal! After eight years they found something in the other breast I was terrified! I went through three mammograms, two ultrasounds, and then finally a biopsy! And thankfully after all that it wasn't cancer! You're amazing Tina, and I'm so glad that you're here with your family, and all of us viewers, that really care about you and your family! 💞🌹
Thank you for sharing your story with us, I know it is very emotional to remember about your children. When was 22, I had 3 children the youngest was a newborn. I had a Grand Mal seizure, I was taken by ambulance to the ER, after an exam, they said I could have a brain tumor. I was a wreck waiting for all the test to determine what was wrong with me. In the meantime I spent the whole time worried about what would happen to my babies. At the time there was no one I trusted enough to raise them and love them as I did. Afer several months I got a brain scan, EEG, XRays, etc, thank God they only found scar tissue on the right side of my brain. They decided to treat me for Epilepsy, prescribed me Dilantin and Phynabarbatol, which made me almost like a zombie. So I do understand how you felt about your boys. You are very blessed to have Robert there to back you up. My ex was not supportive, I couldn't have any outward emotions because he had a tendency to mock me and tell me to suck it up. So I admire Robert for being there for you.
We are survivor sisters!!! I was 28 years old,small boys when I was diagnosed. Never apologised for your tears you earned them. I shed a lot of tears. I am 71 years old now and I still think about it. The pain being so scared I never see my boys grow up and now I have 10 grandchildren. I am so happy that your husband had you go in right away, those who wait or not so lucky. Love you.💞
My sister went through this as well. She also got the red devil. Thank you for sharing this, Tina. Nobidy in my family knows anyone who beat their cancer. I am now hopeful my sister will also have a similar outcome with hers. Hers was quite advanced by the time she started treatment though. Please, never feel bad for showing emotion. You are human and you have conquered an incredibly scary and traumatic situation in life. Thank you again for sharing. Im so honored and blessed to have been able to hear your story.
Tina, thank you so much for opening up to us. It's not easy to do what you just did, so do not be sorry and do not apologize for sharing your story and be emotional about it . Yes, you are a survivor, but more than that, you are a warrior as I often call my daughter. She had ovarian cancer in 2007 when she was 31 years "young". Like in your case, this was a very agresive cancer, and they had to do a total hysterectomy followed by strong chemotherapy. She was very sick. With God's help, she won the war against that cancer. However, she had to take hormones, and 5 years later, she had breast cancer. This cancer was not related to the first one, according to the test she went through. We think it was the hormones. She didn't have a tumor, it was spread in her breast and was told she had to do a mastectomy. She went for the double one for the same reason as you did, fortunately this time she didn't need chemotherapy. She didn't want to be afraid when the next cancer would show up. With God help, again, she won this war as well. This is the reason I tell her she is my warrior. Thank you and God Bless you and protect you.
Tina you are so amazing for telling your story. You probably will never know who you help. You are a survivor as we all are survivors of something. Thank you sweet lady for telling it. You did wonderful and never apologize for your tears, you earned them. God bless you. See there was a reason you finally joined the Morrows with your channel.
My Mother passed from lung cancer it was so hard for all of us she did all her treatments but it moved so fast to her brain, what a blessing you survive Tina ❤
❤❤❤ thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Thank you for sharing your story with us your an amazing strong woman and you never need to apologize for being emotionally ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💜 💕
❤❤❤
May God be with each of you. Big hugs.
Tina, my heart was with you as you told your story.
I too am a survivor of breast cancer, which I had in 2004. I was a widow with three children and had surgery, chemo and radiation and lost my hair, thankfully with help from family and friends I’ve come through it, like you I’m forever grateful.
Don’t be ashamed of your tears as I think we deserve them. Sending You Love and thanks for your bravery in telling your story.💐💕
Tina I lost 3 aunt's & 4 cousins & 2 nieces to breast cancer!!! I have had cancer cells for the past 17 years but they are not active cells!!! I have to have a mammogram every 4-6 months!!! I hate it but it's necessary!!! I am now 65 !!! They explained to me that every person has cancer cells in their body!!! You just have to pray they do not become active!!! My daughter had uterine cancer & had to have a complete hysterectomy at the age of 34!!! My daughter is a survivor & so are you!!! 😀😀😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too, girl. I was 37. It was so difficult. I made it.
Hey Tina...Thanks for sharing your story...I lost both my parents to cancer..my dad in 2004...my mom 2022..so I know how devastating the diagnosis can be...I'm an only child..no family left..but you are a true Suvivor and I'm proud of you for sharing your story...because maybe it will save someone's life...
Wow, that was powerful. What a experience you told. You are definitely someone to admire! A strong, brave, fiercely loving Mamma and wife, who survived the battle of your life and I couldn’t be happier that you were able to knock the heck out of cancer and are with us today, still able to be sitting outside, enjoying your freshly cut grass, telling us such a touching, emotional experience in your life. You embody a true fighter and a survivor indeed!
Praise the lord, I'm a breast cancer survivor for 11 years!!! ❤
I am so thankful for your story. I lost my daughter-inlaw to breast cancer and i had no idea of her pain and suffering. I went with her when she had her chemo treatments but she NEVER spoke of any pain or suffering. My son shaved her head when her hair started to fall out. She had a wig but chose not to wear it. This was her way of making people aware of breast cancer. Bald is beautiful! She beat it but 3 years later it came back everywhere and it beat her. Im so greatful for you and your story as it is her story also.
My mom has two rare skin cancers and will pass with it. She has survived over 25 years with it now. My dad died at 35 with esophagus cancer. I was only six but things the lord he has kept my mother around and he continues to keep her healthy in here for her kids and her grandkids.
What a testimony you have! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your story. I am a former Oncology Nurse & then Hospice Nurse. My best friend went through breast cancer. Both of my parents died from cancer. Your story will really help others!! Other cancer survivors AND people who are struggling with other equally debilitating things. I can only imagine how painful & scary it is to be so transparent BUT you did it & put it out there & good things will come from it. Much love to you!
Tina, NEVER apologize for getting emotional. You are truly beautiful inside and out! Thank you for sharing your journey. You are a SURVIVOR!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I had a hysterectomy at age 36. They put me on a very strong hormone so not to get hot flashes. Didn't work. It cause my breast to grow enormous. When I was 60 I couldn't stand them anymore and had reconstruction surgery on them they removed 7 pounds from each side. The back and neck hurt so bad from them.
You are a very strong person and thank you again.
Tina you did a wonderful job telling your story. I am so proud of how strong you were and still are. Never apologize for getting emotional. I bet most of us were crying right along with you. I praise God right along with you that you’re here to tell your story of survival! My own sister and sister in law are breast cancer survivors, as well.😭❤❤
Thank You Tina for sharing your story. You are an amazing lady! Please never feel like you need to ever apologize for showing us your emotions. You are a SURVIVOR and there is nothing at all wrong with showing your emotions! I lost my daughter to kidney cancer 2 years ago she fought a very short and hard battle but she just wasn't strong enough for it. She left behind my 4 beautiful grandbabies. Cancer truly sucks but I love hearing the survivor stories. Love, Hugs and prayers to you beautiful
Your story is a testament to other women who are going through cancer and have had cancer. Congratulations you are a survivor!
Please Tina don't be sorry. I'm a survivor of 5 cancers. It's sometimes hard. You're a strong person and a survivor.
My mother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September 2017 and died in November 2017. She knew about the lump for a year and never did anything about and it had spread all throughout her body,including her brain,lungs,liver,blood,spine,ect…So proud of you for being so strong and what you have been through. Thank God for your self exam and early detection. Cancer is the devil. For all women out there preventative medicine is the best medicine. Sending much love Tina… You are a strong woman and God bless you.
Tina never apologize for your tears they are beautiful and the grace and love God gave on to you! We are survivors sister!🥰🇨🇦😊
Tina thank you for sharing your story. My Nana died of breast cancer and it was a horrendous process. You just like the rest of the Morrows are one tough human being. Keep praising God and taking care of yourself.
Tina ,never,never apologize for getting emotional or crying when talking about your breast cancer! 😢 Thank You So Very Much for sharing your story!! You should be so proud of yourself!💕
You’re story is very inspirational! My mother died of Breast cancer when I was 34. She was diagnosed when I was 17. Never be ashamed of crying. I cry almost every time I have a mammogram. I’m now 66. My mom was 67 when she passed. I’m thankful I’ve made it this long cancer free. I never think about the possibility of cancer except when I’m having a mammogram and then I just fall apart. So the fear is buried somewhere down deep inside. When you’ve seen the worst it’s wonderful to hear overcomer stories. I’ve been watching Lester a long time now so it’s lovely getting to know you!💕
My friend had cancer in her limp notes,she fought for 15 years I was with her for as many of her chemo treatments as possible,it was so hard for her and all the other patients,the nurses were busy , I just wanna say you are a strong woman and I’m sending you as many hugs as you may need, God bless you always 🙏🏻❤️
Big hugs. God bless you.
Guess you meant *lymph nodes x
Bless you! I admire your finishing college and not letting a depression take over. I am a breast cancer free for 12 years now. I had to do the sentinel node removal and tumor removal with chemo and radiation. Blessedly I didn’t have to have a masectomy and know that part was a very harsh one. 💞. Bless you for sharing your story to encourage others!
Ive never had someone tell they're cancer story so intelligently. Ty for sharing and we can give God all the glory because he was with you all the way. So glad you're here with us today. Youre such a vital part of the Marrows life. God continues to use you, never forget that❤
Tina, we LOVE you for sharing. My mom's a breast cancer survivor and she won't share about it even though she had a remarkable surgery to remove the entire breast and replace it with stomach tissue thru a skin bridge. You ARE a phenomenal survivor and your light shines even more brightly now.
Tina, I watch your survivor story I also survived cancer 7 years ago. The worst for me was setting up a power of attorney so my oldest daughter would be able to take my 12 year old. I was a widow I lost my husband in 2011 to a heart attack. Thank God I survived. He is now 18. I’m so glad you had a wonderful outcome all so. Us mom fight so hard for our kids. ❤
Tina, you are such a courageous person to tell your story and go through it all again. Thirty one years of my thirty five years as an RN I was a pediatric oncology nurse. I do understand what you went through seeing my little patients go through chemotherapy and radiation. Mouth sores was one of the worst things to watch them have to go through. I’m so thankful you are doing so well. We know there are miracles from God.
Never, ever, apologize for a life changing, heroic, story like this. I’m so grateful that you shared this with us. After all, we’re all survivors of something. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Tina As you can see there are many of us praising you for being strong person to share your story. I am a survivor also. I developed cancer in 2010. I had two types invasive and encapsulated. Fortunately the invasive had not broken thru the cell wall. I was lucky. I went thru chemo and radiation also. For me I had just gone thru a very difficult divorce and moved to another state where my daughter lived. She helped me thru it all. Two years ago my daughter went thru a double mastectomy, which what I wished I had done, because I go every year for a sonogram. The best part was this year (13 yrs ) later my oncologist released me from his care. Thank you for sharing your story, I believe it will help others who may be going thru the same issues. May Gold bless you and your family. I watch all.
❤
Wow! What an amazing survivor story. Thank you for being so vulnerable to share. I was crying from the start. You are such a thorough storyteller. I love details as that is what makes a story. I’m sorry you and your family had to experience horrible cancer. I am happy you beat cancer. I lost my dear big sister to cancer a few months ago. Everything you share in experience of the treatments was my sister’s experience. Unfortunately GOD called her home in the middle of her battle. I cry for many reasons in listening to your story as one being that you were so selfless and priority was shielding your babies from living that experience. 😢 I also relate to the selfless and loving support Lou’ gave. My sister would always thank me for what I did for her. I’m like sis you know we will do whatever to help you fight this battle because we love you. Finally, I just love Rob. What a loving man and partner. It tore me up when you said he fell out when the news was shared. He loves you! I do appreciate the humor in that piece of the story that you shared. Your story has allowed me to have a good cry this morning in pulling forward some emotions I feel I had compartmentalized from my sister’s recent passing. Today is also my mom’s birthday as we lost her in 2011. I can only smile as your strong love and protection of your boys reminds me of my mom and how she was about her boys. Thanks again and I look forward to following you and Rob. *New subscriber- Paul*
Thank you for sharing your journey. Don’t worry about the tears. Lester cries all the time 😊 in his videos.
But seriously. What a survivors story. Your strength to protect your young boys from that is amazing. Thank you for allowing us to hear this story. And to be able to celebrate your healing. Praise God.
Tina, thank you for sharing your story. You are a warrior! I am an advocate for earlier mammograms, a base line at 30 is so needed. My daughter was diagnosed in 2016 with stage 4 MBS at 37, with 2 young boys, it was a very aggressive type & no lump ever felt, discovered by MRI for hip & back pain, it had spread thru most of her body.She fought a valiant battle for 3 long years. We saw so many young women in their 30’s going thru chemo, and they are making great strides with treatments, but we need earlier detection! You are a welcome addition, I love watching all of your families videos.❤
I also had no lump, my cancer was "like cooky crumbs" according to the surgeon. Thankfully, the radiologist was a good one.
So many Hugs to ease your tears 😢.
Such a beautiful story…very meaningful and will help others identify cancer and could keep them alive. So educational…This is a legacy video…Great Job!
❤❤❤
Tina it has taken me awhile to watch your story.. My mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer when she was 42. I am so happy you survived. Unfortunately my Mom passed at 44. Things were different back in 1980. This hits home for a lot of us but you are a survivor and this gives hope to so many women!
Knowing that there is a happy ending with you sitting outside telling us your survival story kept me from sobbing. Praise God, for your quick response to the discovery of the lump. I was fortunate that the lump I found in 1991 at 38 was a thick cluster of fibrous tissue that was removed so that the mammogram could see past it. Mammograms are so much better now! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Hopefully, young women will be encouraged to practice their self examinations and seek care if needed. Best wishes 🌸
God bless you Tina. You are a true survivor. You're a beautiful woman. My mom had breast cancer but only needed radiation treatments no chemo but my mother in law had what you did. I'm so happy you caught it early. Thank you for sharing your story. I know it must have been hard to talk about but you are awesome. We love you ❤
I am also a survivor. I discovered my lump in 2004. My story is similar to yours but the adriamyacin nearly killed me. I wound up in anaphalactic shock twice before my oncologist decided my body just could not tolerate it. So he gave me some other chemo meds which extended my treatment time to 8 months. I didn't have radiation. I also elected not to do reconstructive surgery because my cousin had so many problems with hers that I decided not to attempt it. I've wished many times I had done it but have grown accustomed to wearing the prosthesis. Nearly 20 years later and I'm still kicking!
I lost my dad 3 weeks after he was diagnosed with “ treatable” gastric cancer. We went to Virginia Mason hospital in Seattle and saw one of the top 5 doctors in the US who specialized in stomach cancer. Not even he could save him or give him time to process his last days on earth. He went so fast. Hardest thing my family ever had to go through. I cried silent tears everyday for a year. My heart might not be full but I have found a way to continue on without him. I just miss him. I miss talking to him. He passed away Nov 21, 2019.
During that grieving process, I found the IMA Survivor facebook page. I watched the videos daily. It gave me something to focus on instead of grief. Lester and Jami will never realize how much they helped me during the worst time in my life. simple joys, a little chuckle and a smile gave me hope. I will forever be grateful for Huck and Shirley videos. ❤
Tina ,your a survivor and your video will touch the hearts of others and give hope to the lives of those who need it. ❤
Yes, you are a beautiful survivor and I thank you so much for sharing your story ❣️. My baby sister will attest to the pain of that nipple shot….fortunately, they removed the lump, 23 lymph node’s, and no chem required….just 4 weeks of radiation…..and10 years clear. Jesus always gets the praise!
I just lost my brother to esophagus cancer, 14 months ago. Watching his suffering was the hardest. MD Anderson made him take the c-v shot before they would even see him. Then told him there was nothing they could do. So you'll have to excuse my bitterness towards them. I'm glad they helped you. I believe your family has Godly favor. I know it may not seem that way with everything that you have had to overcome. But looking from the outside in, you see God's hands in all of it.
Tina you are a warrior! Years ago I was on a team of Ride to Ride out cancer and we had a float in the Derby Parade all dressed in Pink & White baseball uniforms and our float was called survivor field and we had local breast cancer survivors. We were so proud to be in the parade and to support cancer survivors. I have some best friends that have survived but still have lingering issues years later from the damage of the chemo and radiation so you are so blessed to not have that and to do as well as you have. Blessed be as God brought you thru this!
Thank you for sharing. I'm a 3-time cancer survivor. I've been blessed with good doctors also. I'm now on hormone replacement therapy. Supposedly to keep me cancer free . Thank you, Jesus. 😊 ❤ 😊
Tina, please don’t apologize for crying, it was a life saving decision you had gone through. I’m so glad you explained what happened because I never knew what happens when someone goes through breast cancer. You and your family are a God send and I myself appreciate you all.
Tina, thank you for sharing your story. I had DCIS stage 0 in 2021. This is a very early stage of breast cancer with a high level of successful cure rate. I had a lumpectomy and 20 rounds of radiation and now I have to take an estrogen lowering pill for 5 yrs. By the grace of God. I did very well with the treatment. I admire you for sharing your journey. It's a story that someone dealing with their own battle may have needed to hear today! God Bless you. ❤
Tina, I truly 🎀 appreciate hearing your survival story and am thankful God has encouraged us through this. You are beautiful, perservering, and such a blessing to all who know you.
I too was diagnosed with breast cancer is March of 2008. I found mine while in the shower. I also had the red devil.... when I was listening to your story, you were telling mine!!! We are survivor sisters. My church family was not there, the church that I was born and raised in.... please continue to tell your story as I have found it helps me.
Tina, you are a strong powerful woman and I wish you the best. You have a wonderful family and support system. Thank you for your story. ❤
Oh Tina…please don’t apologize! You are so amazing, strong and beautiful! I can’t imagine all of the mental and physical turmoil that you went through! I admire your strength to not only go through what you did but to be able to sit there and tell your survivor story! Just know that you have touched so many of us and I thank you for opening up to us! And yea I cried right along with you! You’re right about God! He carried you through this…the footprints in the sand story came to my mind. There were two sets of footprints in the sand while you were going to school…then one set of footprints while you were going through cancer cause he was carrying you! He has a much bigger plan for you! Sending so much love and respect to you girl! ❤️🙏🏻🥰
Do not be sorry you cried, I cried with you. Beautiful story praise God!
Thank you so much for sharing your survivor story. It's a very important message that women need to hear. Never apologize for showing your emotions. I'm sure many of us (me) had tissues & were crying along with you.
My mom was 79 years old when a small lump was found, she had the biopsy, was told it was cancer & told her options. She decided to have a mastectomy, they also removed the lymph nodes. Thankfully the were able to get all of the cancer, she didn't have to go through chemo or radiation but was on oral medications for about 10-12 years until her doctor said she didn't need them any longer. I know that not everyone's story is different.
I had to have a biopsy one time, thankfully it was a benign cyst, I am faithful in getting a mammogram every year.
Tina you are a Survivor and I can't imagine what you went through. I applaud you for your strength and finishing your college degree in such a hard time in your life. Never feel ashamed for showing your emotions that was a hard time for you. Your amazing and beautiful and have done an amazing job with your sons and have an amazing husband. I wish you nothing but the best in life! 🎉❤❤❤
Your story is priceless Tina. You are priceless. Being a caregiver for my mom back in the late 80's and early 90's was rough.I'm 52 now but I was in 12th grade when my mom got sick and being her only girl and youngest out of 6 kids I took it upon myself to be there for her through everything. My dad was there too but he had his problems and I cared for him as well. I gave up 5yrs of free fully paid college to be there for them and I would do it again if I had to. We only get one mom and dad in our lifes and I will never regret making the choices I did. I've seen things no one should ever see. Because of that I'm a stronger person. With what you went through Tina makes you who you are today. A strong, beautiful, caring human who did everything she could to protect her boys so you could be here now for them. Be proud of your story and how far you've come because there's some out there who just give up. You didn't. Don't ever be scared to tell your story, because someone out there needed to hear it I'm sure. You're blessed and loved.💟 and keep climbing that ladder of blessings!
Praise God for modern medicine! I lost my mom in 1952 to this terrible disease. I was 12 years old at the time. If it happened now, she quite possibly would have survived.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. An old timer like me remembers only the early days of treatment. Thank you for bringing me out of the “dark ages”.
Do not be sorry for crying! YOU were and are amazing. Thank you for sharing your story.
Ohhh that was a hard watch but thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing with us. Your bravery shines through. I bet your boys were on your mind the entire time. I imagine making this video (and probably reading the comments) might be emotionally draining but I bet it will help so many. And I hope you found some healing in sharing your journey too. Thank you again ❤
Thank you Tina for sharing your breast cancer journey with us. I too am a breast cancer survivor of 20+ years. Never be sorry for being emotional telling your story it’s our life and it was a very difficult time. God has blessed us with healing so we can share our experiences with others and give them hope. We are survivors! Love you Tina and thanks again for sharing your journey! ❤️❤️
