Hi, I'm still watching these videos in 2024. Emily will always be on my mind. I am a two time melanoma survivor. Last time Stage 4 metastatic. I am still here 6 yrs later after a 2 month pre treatment life expectancy . I am in Canada. Emily and I both had the same treatment.
@CHELSEABuckhannon I'm gutted I never got to know her in time 😢 I would have gone 2 her funeral to show my respect to this beautiful soul been cruelly taken the good die young is never truer
Five years later I still watch Emily and get inspiration for how she lived her life. She stuns me with her positivity and never give up attitude. I can't think of anyone, including myself, who would hear this devastating news and still smile and try to enjoy each moment. Emily, you were an incredible human being.
Go do alternative therapy like Dr Joe Dispenza's work. Miraculous and with science behind it. Allopathic Medicime is not making any progress with cancer because of their limited approach. I will do energy healing on you for free if you choose to have. Send selfie name, date of birth. Nothing else. Was put on my heart to do this. I have seen / experienced miracles before. This doesn't have to be the beginning of the end❣️ sending love xx
You are one of the strongest people that i lean on going through throat cancer with my dad your a fucken inspiration of people!!! One of the strongest people i have ever seen. And i wish i had a friend like her!!!
no we shouldn't .... when I am getting close to the end i don't need someone to tell me that I have to be full of shit (positivity) and just laugh it off...I really don't need this
@@moldovandorin6187 That's a very cynical attitude to have. She was trying to find the silver lining in a terrible situation, and that outlook helped Emily to live her life up until the very end.
@@moldovandorin6187 you have no idea what conversations they had behind closed doors. Maybe Emily said please don't change because of this or maybe it's her mechanism for going through all she went through at that time as well. To each his,/her own but you definitely don't need to be rude especially 2 yrs after she passed away. If it didn't bother Emily or get family it shouldn't bother you a total damn stranger.
I often come back to Emily’s channel to remind myself how precious life is and for motivation. What an incredible person she was, I miss her vlogs so much ❤️
She really did.. She loved life so much.. Im here hating mine.. I so would have swapped with her.. She was great.. I followed her jorney as my husband had cancer at the same time... He never took treatment his cancer never spread.. He died from a cardic arrest three mths after Emily..
@@hayleydryden8358 yes Emily loved life and she is an utter inspiration. I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time and your husband has died too - I cannot imagine what yo are going through and I hope that you can find the light again....... peace and love to you xxR x
I am a new subscriber. I have looked back through your previous videos and I can not tell you how much they have inspired me. I was married at 21 to my high school sweetheart and childhood friend. He was 26, and when he was 31 he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was given a 10% chance of surviving 6 months, and we were told it was terminal. I had the conversation with him about what he wanted when he passed. I can totally relate to Aisha, and also to you, Emily. He went through an experimental treatment, and much to everyone's shock he went into a complete remission. The treatment, however, brought on a subsequent bipolar episode, and 3 years later he committed suicide in our backyard. At that time he was still in remission, and upon doing an autopsy found that 3 years and 6 months later he still did not have a single cancerous cell in his body. You never know - miracles do happen and I have seen it myself. But no matter what happens your strength and positivity, as well as Aisha's, is something I will keep on my mind for the rest of my own life. And I will strive to impart that very strength and positivity to my 12 year old daughter. Your very attitude has touched the lives of those who have and are watching you. You are such an inspiration, girl.
Wonderfully written. I remarked here a few weeks ago that, cancer or not, whether Emily's body lives 10 or 100 more years, she is immortal. The mark she has left is indelible, and I am so much better for it. Thanks, Rikki's Reviews, for sharing your strength, too. Says a lot about you that you've been through so much and still have love and light to share.
You have had so much sadness and struggle. I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve lost in that same way too. But an ex. It’s rough. You’re right About Emily and Aisha, they’re pretty damn amazing and often get me through.
I had never thought about the possibility that a miracle cancer recovery might not necessarily be the less upsetting outcome...what a horrible thing to go through Rikki. It just goes to show that Emily’s going about things all the right way focussing on enjoying her life rather than worrying how long it will be.
It’s amazing how 4 years on I still come back to Emily. Whenever I’m feeling down in the dumps or angry, it doesn’t take long to feel grateful and motivated and keen to make the most of every minute after watching Emily. Thank you Emily for still inspiring people xx
The moment of you Emily on the subway train at 8:05 with your smile and blowing hair, looking carefree in spite of tremendous adversity, exemplifies why you are an inspiration for all of us. You have made such a difference in so many lives, more than you can even imagine.
I watch this video over and over just for that part too. I know I have to watch through sad tears that they cry together but then the smile and joy and the wind in her hair. I just love that care free moment when life is standing still and all is perfect.
When I feel a bit down or annoyed at the arthritis I have, I come to draw strength from Emily's videos. They do make me cry, but they teach me how to live my best life and be grateful. 3 years on and Emily still touches the living. ❤
I am a pediatric oncology nurse and I can't express enough what an inspiration you are to my beautiful little patients. The strength and love that You, Emily and Aisha are so above and beyond what I have ever encountered. Emily may you be happy and pain free now eating all the food and chicken you like. Aisha, your love and support for Emily was and is so amazing. Love to both of you from a nurse in San Francisco.
Thank God for people like you working in that environment. Don't know how you manage but am soooo thankful there are folks who are fighting this war on the front lines. For kids. It was hard watching my father fight this monster but children? No words.
@risvil I agree w the comment above ... You're a special soul to dedicate your life to working with people who need help in the absolute worse way. I'm so happy they have you!!
Ris, I just came across this post of Emily’s … obviously I’ve realised that she has passed as this video was of 4 years ago. I just wanted to say thank you to you for the work you do …. People just don’t realise what being an oncology paediatric nurse involves …. My son was under the oncology department of a large children’s hospital from birth up until he was 18, and is now under an adult hospital … we were told he wouldn’t live more than 2 years old , but he beat all odds as he’s now 33. The oncology nurses are special special people ( of course so are all the doctors ) but you stabilise a wonderful bond with the nurses …. They help us parents to continue battling … they never give up on us. Bless your hearts ♥️🤗
I am watching you in July 2022. Thank you for making these videos. You knew people would need you even after you were gone. And we do. We need to see your strength. Your humor. You love. Now I’m crying too. Thank you Emily for still touching my life.
For sure. I'm normally not one that recognizes so called "beautiful people", the kind of people that really shine in society, but man this womans story hit me hard and I could tell right away the world lost a very bright star that day.
@@Samsquamsh wasn’t she special! Just think of all the lives she could have touched in her job! This is the first time I’ve seen Aisha cry. These 2 women were powerhouses in beauty and personality. Just absolutely Amazing! Emily fought so very hard. I know I really thought she would beat it. I can’t even imagine the hole she left in the hearts of ppl who loved her. My heart hurt when she passed and I was just a fan watching her life through a camera lens. God bless and be with them even 2 yrs later. Ppl like this are rarities indeed. God speed Em 🙏🏻
Others seem to have detected that she had true impending doom on THAT day with THAT sentence she uttered. (“”...that’s it, isn’t it?”). I didn’t have that same sense at the time, but in watching AFTER she passed away I realized the sentence “that’s it, in’ it?” Emily uttered in tears outside the hospital reflected her losing hope (or almost all- one could never ever take all hope away from her and her hope was infectious). Here and then seeing Aisha’s worried look at EMILY a month or so later in a video (a loonof acceptance of anything to come) hit me especially hard as in retrospect showing times when I myself thought EMILY would live for years, yet I do imagine now, with review of the videos after she died (still a source of hope and nobility, encouragement and compassionate love for all humanity)... she knew earlier than she let on (or than I let myself believe, so much wanting to see her defy the odds and continue living with the joy she so often was able to find, in itself inspiring anyone else feeling like giving up for any reason if their own). Seeing this video with the acebe outside the hospital about the bad news (why could they not have seen all the tunors earlier, I ask, but then I let it go)....It was then apparently that she seems to have known her time was really getting limited though she had before beaten so many “prognostications” before. I have watched these again and again while she was still here and I occasionally pop back, knowing how glad she’d be to see she has 10,000 new subscribers since the date of her death, if she could know (or if she does know). The videos are remarkable in so MANY ways BC she was! (Still is.) She made such a positive difference for so many people and not exclusively those with cancer. Anyone suffering might find accompaniment and some hope from EMILY. And her beloved Aisha.
Watching this two years later. So heartbreaking to watch, knowing what is yet to come. Forces you to reassess your life and appreciate what we are lucky to have.
Best advice I heard was not to borrow trouble. If you feel good, then love it and live in the moment. Those smiles and those good times are the good stuff. Don't be scared, she has your hand and won''t let go. It will be ok.
I’ve seen this vlog lots of times and I always feel so emotional at the whole thing but especially at the point where they’re on the tube with the wind blowing in their hair and laughing. It just always reminds me to slow down, enjoy life, you don’t have to be doing things that cost the earth, because things like the wind blowing in your hair, are free. I wish I could put it more eloquently but you’re always on my mind Emily!
Dear Emily, my wife and I are watching your video right now! We’ve just heard the news, and are gutted. Sending you lots of love, Neil & Teresa. xx Ps. We are following you every step of the way. Blessings.
Emily- my mom had 6 metastatic brain lesions from Melanoma as well. She did 5x whole brain radiation which did significantly shrink her tumors, thus extending her life with no heavy side effects. I know you both know this is a "palliative/comfort" option, however, I wanted to share it as it did give her more time. Im so sorry, Emily. Keep strong. You inspire all of your viewers- more than you know. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Xx
The most profound thing that strikes me...is seeing two people who are clearly the loves of each other's lives. Nothing can mute or lessen that love, even death. Love is a miracle.
@@robertmason7553 disgusting idiot! If you can't have a little respect for yourself, make us a favor and have a little respect for this incredible human and loved ones, who clearly are a million times better people than you will ever be.
Your positivity and outlook is incredible. These daily updates force me to evaluate my own life and realise how precious it is. Thank you for that, and thank you for sharing you life with us.
Still watching 17th April 2019!1 She is probably looking down on all of us now!! Bet our life isn’t half as interesting as hers was though! Rest in peace Em!! You continue to share your story, and the gift is priceless....
Her videos are among the saddest videos on youtube but yet beautiful and inspiring. I am so sorry Emily and her loved ones had to go through this. Her videos tells me how precious life is and the importance to treat everyone I encounter in my daily life with kindness and respect since I have no idea what they are going through.
They're sad only because the melanoma was relentless. Every time she had a scan, there was more cancer. Besides that, her videos are inspiring because she did her best to live her life to the fullest, even going to the gym to the very end. Just wow!
I only found your vlog a few days before you passed. I am a 50 year old nurse struggling with anxiety following abuse as a child but u have inspired me so much to keep going . I have nursed many people through their cancer battles , many strong, brave individuals but u were without a doubt the most amazingly strong , beautiful, inspiring young lady ❤️ I have told many people young and old with both physical and emotional issues to watch your vlog . I watch every day and you have helped me so much. May u rest in peace, thank you so much Emily ❤️❤️❤️
I've never understood how somebody so full of life can just die..I know everybody dies but it does seem so unfair....I pray you found peace and heaven...
Oh sweetie, I'm sorry to hear this news. I do believe if anyone can beat this you can. I work in an oncology department and I've seen so many times they tell someone you have months to live and years later they are going strong...kick some ass!!
I have watched these vlogs over and over again and Aisha’s positivity still amazes me every time. At times when others would have crumbled she was an absolute rock. Such an inspiration.
Oh sweet angel. I don't think you really knew the magnitude of positivity and life changing energy you inspired in so many people in such a short time.
You are one amazing soul. And thank god for Aisha. She is definitely your rock. I just wanted you to know that my mom had full brain radiation. She did loose all her hair(she rocked that) but as for other long term symptoms, she had none. That will be three years this coming September. I do believe in miracles. I do believe in positive thinking. You got this. I will keep you and Aisha in my prayers. Take care. Xo
It gave my grandma another year and she had 27 spots in her brain. Yes she lost her hair but other than that the only major problem she had during that time was a broken wrist from a fall. She was 87.
me and my girl are sitting here cryin. you both are so wonderful - your love is so so strong and it shows through everything you do how much strength you have both within yourself and Aisha. you are a massive inspiration and an incredible human and you can, you will, beat this. please reach out if there is anything at all we can do -- we are here for you the same way you are for us with your incredible editing, beautiful tunes and amazing cinematography and most of all your magnificent personality. we both send you both all the strength and the love in the world.
I closed my eyes and placed my hands on my computer and prayed to the good Lord to turn things around and cure this cancer, this is the prayer I will continue everyday as I watch your Vlog. Gods blessings to you both. Rhonda Willoby from the US
Your positivity has gotten you this far, I know that it will absolutely get you over this bump! You're going to get through this. We're all here rooting for you, WE will do this together!
As soon as the video started with the call from the Dr's secretary, and I heard the urgency in her voice, my heart just sank. 😥 So brave and dignified.
What the hell? I’m so pissed off. You girls are so amazing, why does such a shitty thing happen to such great people? Meanwhile all kinds of assholes live to 90. I wanted to puke sitting here listening to that doctor talk. Keep going like you are, you really are so amazing. I don’t even have the words to express what I want. It’s crazy how I can care so deeply for someone I’ve never met. I tend to crumble when I get horrible news. The strength of you two girls is so inspiring.
Bad things happen to good people and bad people. Good things happen to good people and bad people. Everyone’s path is different and no one really knows why we are dealt the cards we are dealt. What’s important is to live your life with gratitude and hope. Emily embodied that. She’s been gone five years but she is still making her mark on the world today as if she was still alive.
My favourite UA-camr/ person on the internet. You’re such an inspiration. You’ve made me appreciate life and watching you and Aisha pushes me to do more, I wish you both the world❤️ you’ve got this
Im typically not too keen on comments like '' I cried '', but this just heartbreaking to see a young person go through this, a person with so much to live for. So many times I wanted to reach through the screen and give her a hug. Like many others, Ive been personally affected, loosing a loved one. All the best to all of Emilys loved ones.
Emily if this is truly the end, then consider your quality of life and how you want it to be. I live in the US and am a former nurse. Many people would just say that they would rather live their life to the fullest whatever is left than go through a possible toxic treatment like you are facing. Consider all your options, review all the side effects, and know that it could be hard once your brain is radiated. You have all the support of your fans who are praying for you and that love you both and your channel. God Bless you. You are a strong person mentally and physically whatever you choose to do. It is your choice. Hugs and God Bless you both.
Daphne Fowler I'd agree with this too. I'd rather enjoy the end of my life with the positive attitude you have rather than feel awful and unable to function xx
As a doctor, and having had family members in similar positions, I think I would say the same thing.. sending so much positivity your way, I love your videos, I love the way you inspire people, and think both of you are amazing xxx
Feel the same way. My stomach dropped when I heard them being called back to the hospital. They are both so lucky to have each other when going through something so difficult. Many couples who are much older and have been together for decades would not be so strong. Keep up the positivity but remember it's ok to be mad and feel shitty. We will all understand and will try to be your cheerleader!
i am so thankful Aisha left all these videos on UA-cam because i am battling cancer right now and Emily's story gives me strength and i think about her a lot when getting treatment
I have never commented on any You Tube vid before this, but bcos you are such pure magic Emily (& Aisha), a miracle to us all, such an inspiration. I wanted you to know that I love you both & that I literally couldn't go to bed tonight until I found out how your day went. We're all here rooting for you. You're so precious and for our own selfish reasons we need you around, so keep on spreading your joy and shining that beautiful light of yours! I reckon for sure you can pull off an Anita Moorjani!! Love you so much
It's the way you worked out and stayed healthy as possible til the end that you were not confined to a hospital bed the last months of your life, that's the legacy you left, you a taught cancer patients that they can live a full life til the end without detererotating in the hospital, ,,nothing brought you down for long! You are the most inspirational person I've heard of,,if only one should have an Emily or Aisha in their life, how wonderful that would be!!!
I’ve followed you for a while now and you’ve made me appreciate life so much more! You’re such a beautiful and uplifting women! I’m so sorry about the news, praying for you things get better 💔xxxx
I stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching ever since. You are such a light in this world....and have taught me so much in a short amount of time. I am usually a silent subscriber,but today I have to say something! You are the kind of person I hope to become....you illustrate daily that it is not the number of years that you have in your life,but how you live in those years that matter. A lesson we all should live by. I am so very touched by you.....your story,your spirit through this journey. Both you and Aisha radiate grace,even under such cruel fire. May you both SOLDIER on.Sending love and prayers to you both.....a girl in Stone Mountain Georgia .....Michelle xoxo
Michelle Stephens I found her also, but to late. I grew up in Dekalb county. I now live in North Georgia. I agree they have touched my heart and such a inspiration.
Oh Emily 😢I never cry during sad movies or UA-cam videos and I’m bawling right now and I even feel faint. It’s shocking how much care we all have for someone we have never met. I just can’t wrap my head around how unfair this is and how amazing you’re doing for what the scans show. I love you both and we are all behind you 💜💜
Traci Provins oh Traci what a lovely comment ❤ I agree with every single word only I just cannot find the words to comment myself so thank you! This world is so cruel and so wrong 😭😭😭 WE LOVE AND ADORE YOU EMILY & AISHA!!! Bless you both ❤❤❤❤
Keep finding myself going back constantly to rewatch all of Emily’s vlogs, they instantly put me in a good mood, I think a lot of people would say the same
I am .. I cried when you cried... I love you, i dont know you but you have made me feel so motivated during my lupus journey.. I dont know your woman is right all the positive thinking and just doing has made you a miracle. and maybe that miracle will keep carrying you through. I love you both, keep smiling.. xoxo
My first video of her journey. Cancer does not discriminate. I cant believe the strength and courage that the victims find within their selves to endure chemo and the other treatments. I have such respect and love for them. Thank u for sharing your journey.
Emily, My girlfriend's father also had a massive tumour on his spine. It had been growing for 20 years (according to the doctors). It reached the point that he couldn't walk anymore and needed breathing support all the time. It was deeply rooted and basically, in a really bad spot. The doctors said: "You're in for a surgery. 10% - you survive, 90% - we fail, you die or become paralyzed. The latter option is probably going to happen but we have to try anyway." He started giving goodbye-gifts to his closest relatives and thinking about what's next... And then he survived the surgery and now, 7 years later, he's still cancer-free. Of course, he can't run like a gazelle, has (sometimes a lot of) pain and cannot push it to the limit anymore, but... He's ALIVE, he can slowly walk, he can enjoy food, he can talk, he can laugh, he can watch his favourite movies and he can (and is allowed to) drive (even though he earlier lost his driving licence twice, due to his condition). Never lose hope! You never know what's around the corner :) Expect lots of positive energy coming your way from me :) P.S. To Emily (and basically to anyone who is reading this). I see that you use wireless headphones a lot. Stop immediately! ALWAYS BUY WIRED DEVICES, whenever you have a choice. I know that wireless devices are easy to use and you can take them everywhere...but when you use them, it's like putting your head into a microwave oven. It's bad for anyone's health. I'm saying this to you so that you could help yourself by not (unintentionally) hurting yourself
scientific proof please. conjecture on iffy research does no one any good and only spreads fear where none is necessary. to call it "microwave" is a lie. Microwave ovens are tuned to vibrate water to heat it. Does the freq. of wireless devices do this? Where is the research?
www.fitplein.nl/straling/schadelijke-straling-draadloze-bluetooth-technologie/ It's in Dutch, but if you use Google Translate, you get a pretty decent English translation. Indeed, as you say, I take this information with a grain of salt but you never know. Besides, long time ago, one could buy Benzedrine pills, Coke contained cocaine and sugar was advertised as actually "being good for children as it'd give them energy." Also, the houses which we lived in contained Asbestos. All those things were widely popular as nobody was yet aware of their horrific side effects. Who knows, maybe Bluetooth, Wi-Fi etc. are the "Benzedrine of our generation." If there are some reports of them being potentially dangerous, I'm definitely not willing to ignore them. For this reason, if I can choose between the safe wired headphones or PROBABLY safe wireless headphones, I will choose option #1. But, of course, to each his own.
abdelkaderelbrazi hes very lucky and an example to anyone auffering from cancer. But the fact that it had been growing in him for so long shows that we all need to have proper regular check ups. Its shocking that the majority of men diagnosed with prostrate cancer are already in stage 4 and that is why its taken over from breast cancer as the biggest killer in the uk. Men are particulary problematic when it comes to regular check ups. Even when they have serious symptoms they feel embarassed about checkups in that area of their body. All men need to take better care of themselves for their childrens sake if anything
You're right! However, I would like to add one small thing to what you said. Namely, if you decide to have a checkup because you feel that something is really off, please choose your doctors well and/or ask for a second opinion. Unfortunately, doctors are not created equal and you need some luck with them. For example, what I didn't mention in my original post, my girlfriend's father actually went to see a doctor a couple of years before everything really went south. He complained about dizziness, his getting tired quickly, as well as problems keeping balance/limping. The doctor's answer was "You are just too fat. Lose some weight, mate!" There were no scans, no blood tests, nothing. The poor guy just embraced his symptoms and kept on going for another couple of years with a time bomb on his spine. Had it been discovered back then, most probably he would've been as fit as a fiddle today. Now, he is a paraplegic.
abdelkaderelbrazi also dairy was touted as good for strong bones etc, now we know it robs calcium from bones. And that the calcium in milk is not absorb-able by the human body. It was just a marketing ploy perpetrated by the dairy industry. Dairy in take has been directly linked to bone diseases such as osteoporosis and is associated with all kinds of other conditions and intolerance's. (Such as lactose intolerance). Just another example.
I am sending you every bit of love, prayers & positivity I can. I can’t tell you how, I would sound selfish, but you have helped pull me out of a bad place. Your attitude has made me re evaluate mine. And I’ll Forever thank you for that. Lots of love to you & Aisha 💕
Hi Emily. My heart’s broken for you. I couldn’t imagine what you’re going through. I’m praying for you and your positive mindset will get you far and i PROMISE YOU. Your mind is sooo powerful and you’re so strong. The way you handle this all is truly incredible & inspiring.
Very well said 👍 I had to sleep on it before responding. I love you and Aisha so much.;) your bond is so beautiful and clear for all to see.. ❤ It's so very wrong ! Cancer is insane and there's nothing fair about it. You have been amazing in dealing with all of it. Your strength is palpable Emily ❤❤❤
I’m not an emotional person but this got me. You make me want to improve myself and live life to the full each day - from reading comments this is a common theme! We are all rooting for you. Stay the strong, positive, beautiful person you are 💞we are all here to support you xx
Crazy how someone can appear healthy walking down the road yet they could be fighting for their life. One of the worst things is how it changes absolutely everything. Celebrating a simple holiday carries a weight of not knowing if its the last. Once basic daily conversationn becomes a minefield of avoiding awkward topics like what ones plans for next summer are. Everything changes.
As Aisha said your a miracle Emily, your gonna be just fine xoxo don’t cry..give Aisha a big massive hug. Thinking of you every single day and sending all my energy your way everyday. 🧘🏽♀️
Em - PLEASE KNOW We Are WITH YOU & We Love LOVE YOU Aisha - We are here for you and stand with you as well. ❤️ Love and Support and Positive Thoughts for Strength...
The title makes me sad, really sad... I'm one more stranger that like to see your smile and the beautiful way how you guys see the live. I feel sad for the news... It's really sad to see you cry, despite don't even know you (in person). Please, please that the things can change, because they really can change! Your body can do a lot of thing that Medicine still can't explain. So believe! We all are with you Emily! Keep strong!
Aisha said ,"They last called you a miracle and I truly believe that's because of God and your positive mindset..." True!! God has you in the palm of His hand...He created you and has made you into a miracle, because you believe He can. He's NOT done with you yet! Praying for you everyday. We all love you so much!
You really are a walking miracle, I was thinking that just as you said it. It’s so hard to wrap my head around because you don’t fit script at alllllll none of this makes any sense and I’m a nurse 😫
im not a nurse but i can assume its because she keeps her body mobile as well as keeps her nutrition in check, she doesnt allow her body reserve fats and doesnt eat too much and builds muscle when she puts weight on. i feel like that contributes to her being as well off as she is in this state. she is very maticulous about it.
Abbigail Babino Definitely is helping her id say. Oddly enough I see spinal cord injuries a lot and this is truly a miracle. Nothing about her and I mean nothing screams or even hints at the fact that she has a brain tumor or anything close to her spinal cord. I’d be very interested to see her scan. It’s almost like I refuse to believe it unless I see it with my own eyes! She’s just so perfect...
InBetweenDreams that’s what I keep thinking! I am graduating from medical school and worked in the ER for 3 years prior and I can’t believe she has that kind of tumor at C1! At that point it should be affecting everything. So hard to believe the scan. But I really believe it is because of her amazing strength, positivity and nutrition/physical shape.
Gosh I am blown away by you two. Real traditional British girls, strength, humour and kindness. I am in tears for you. Thank you for shining a light into my darkness. I offer you warm thoughts and prayers where ever you are now.
Ok theres 16591 prayers coming your way, we will walk this journey with you, we want nothing more than a miracle at this point. Sooo much love for you both 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If a Martian landed in front of me and asked me for an example of a human at its best and most beautiful it would be a tie between you. Sending profound love from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Oh Emily, I'm so sorry for you! I feel totally & completely gutted & I felt physically sick for you & Aisha when I heard your latest diagnosis. Hopefully your full brain treatment will be a success without any bad side effects. I just get the feeling your not going anywhere soon, your too special! Your so positive & are such a fighter & you always put me in a better place to deal with my own incurable cancer. All my love, prayers & best wishes to you both always 💙💚💛💜
Here in February 2023. I miss sweet Emily so much. I go to Aisha's Instagram everyday and see her sweet baby son and follow their lives. Emily would be so very happy for Aisha.
You're such an inspiration. Words can't express the amount of courage/bravery/strengh.... that you have. I just wanted to hug you and say everything is going to be alright and that your suffering is not in vain, nothing in this world is in vain, even the movement of the smallest leaf has some sort of purpose. I can't say I know how it feels like cuz i'm just a young fella who never experienced the world at it's full but all I know is that there's much more out there, and i mean more than our eyes can see, or our mind can conceive. I don't know what it is, I just feel it every time i suffer, every time i hit my head against the wall, every time I fail and cry and brag and I just look around and see the sky and the trees moving and the water in the lake reflecting the sun and everything around me screaming: "we are all here and everything is alright. See? we all move, we all change, we all exist for you and we mean something just like the pain you're feeling right now. That too is going to change, just wait and tomorrow you feel the rain or the sun or the wind blowing. We are here for you, even if your eyes can't see us or your skin can't feel us, we are here for you, changing endless just to prove you that that's gonna change too." I hope you forgive any grammar mistakes, I'm just a brazillian guy who fortunately stumbled upon your videos after discovering my grandma is suffering from a similar problem. With all my heart, wish you all the best! (:
Only know you through your blogs but am so invested in you, I'm totally heart broken to hear this. Thinking of you, I hope you can find that amazing attitude that has got you this far for the rest of your journey. X
I don't know you but I what a total privilege for you to allow us into such a vulnerable time for you. All of us Im sure are watching feeling guilty that we are...but just marvelling at your spirit, energy, beauty and wit. You are awesome. Totally awesome.
My heart ❤ is broken 😪. Dear sweet Emily & Aisha -I'm sitting here crying for both of you-there have been so many days I was very sad in my life and watching your videos brought me out of my sadness with your sense of humor/your love for each other/your beautiful accent/just everything about you is awesome !!!! I can't imagine anything happening to you .... Plz stay strong sweetheart and feel the 1000's and 1000's of arms wrapped around you with nothing but L❤VE !!!!!!!
I ended up working in oncology drug manufacturing and I'd actually never seen such experiences before of people going through cancer like this... It makes me feel like I want to try harder and offer new solutions. I imagine my wife being told that she is terminal... I would just develop whatever it needs to be done to cure her.
Oh my gosh.. I have a ton of stress and life issues and I complain about it a lot.. but I can’t even begin to understand what you are facing. Still! Even after blow after blow that you’ve been handed, you speak words of positivity, and strength.. you smile and laugh and encourage others.. Please know that you both are a HUGE HUGE inspiration to me and, I know, to so many others. Your life means something. You’re here for a reason.. a purpose. You’re making a huge impact. I pray so hard that you will beat the odds and be here for years and years longer. The world needs people like you. But either way.. please know, you have made your mark on this earth. And it will remain forever. ♥️
iprefersteve I'm so with you there, we all complain about stupid stupid things but really it's nothing to what others have to go through, these girls truly are a inspiration and I am going to try and not complain about stuff anymore
Peachy Outlook Million percent agree. Things like this really put things into perspective, don’t they? My problems are real, and they are many.. but if Emily and Aisha can still look at the bright side with all that they are dealing with, well there’s no reason why I can’t too. :)
I am absolutely gutted for you both, I really truly am and I am so so sorry you’re having to go through this. Thank god you have got each other, you are the perfect balance and when one is down, the other one comes strong with positivity. Thinking of you both and carry on doing it the Emily way Emily and carry on with that determination and thirst for life xx
Idk if anyone will read this but I sometimes come back to Emily because I feel like she has the type of strength that every person needs to have. I hope she knows that she is cared for and looked up to by many for going through what she had gone through
Hands down this was the hardest video I have ever watched on UA-cam. I literally turned it off three times before I could finish it. It made me soooo angry that this is happening to such a beacon of light. Then I cried my eyes out. I have been watching these two selfless women for about a month and a half and I have never been so changed to my core and felt so much love for complete strangers. Look what she is accomplishing, genuinely touching the hearts and souls of so many people she has never met. How many people can honestly say they have inspired so much love in their life. Like she said miracles happen. Everyone bombard god with so many prayers that he cant look away. Screw what that doctor said keep fighting. THANK YOU for sharing your life, story, and journey with all of us! Love ya girl!
I suffer from ocd, ptsd, panic attacks, agoraphobia, depression and other physical stuff, but those videos i watched last weeks gave me more aprecciation for my often hard and complicated life. iam still here i can see the sun, breath the fresh air enjoy good days and on bad days remember there will be more good ones again. Videos like this changed my perspective on life on how precious and how fragile it is and it all can be at the end in just now time. Who ever may read this in the future. please enjoy your time as much as possible and i wish you all the best! love.
I watched and cried. My heart is broken for you both. You are such an inspiration to everyone out there not just people sick or dying every person can be inspired by your drive and You should be proud of that. Your strength positivity and determination has kept you alive this far hold on to that. Xxx
You two are so loved by so many people. Your videos are so inspiring to watch. I've literally never seen somebody handle such devastating news with such grace and positivity. I lost my boyfriend to cancer last year and I wish your videos had been around then to show how the process should be handled as we had barely any positivity, optimism or happiness towards the end. It's so easy to be swallowed up by the timescale you are given, but you two are showing it who's boss. Keep fighting, you're both so incredibly brave. X
My best friend died 2 days after her cancer diagnosis in November. You and your fiancé make me happy. Yous are so upbeat and strong. You are exactly how my best friend would have been if she had been given the chance to fight the cancer. Keep doing what you’re doing- you are amazing!!! Xx
Love you and Aisha, can’t imagine how you’re feeling but your positive attitude always shines through. We’re all here supporting and loving the both of you, this will not beat you em, you’re made of strong stuff ❤️
My heart just dropped. You both are in my heart. I feel for you and Aisha. Did u find the tea? Btw, I studied Psychology and health in college. There have been cases where peiple have done positive therapy. They visualize killing the bad cells and parts in their bodies and after doing it over and over daily ... the doctors all the sudden see that the malignant parts either reduced or vanished/disappeared. I really just want to hug you both.
If you're going through hard times in your life, watch this video, be humbled, heartbroken and uplifted all at the same time. Wasn't she wonderful.
She was.
I dunno how many times I come back to Emily's vids, your right❤😊
She so was!
Yes, she was.
And yes she was ❤
Hi, I'm still watching these videos in 2024. Emily will always be on my mind. I am a two time melanoma survivor. Last time Stage 4 metastatic. I am still here 6 yrs later after a 2 month pre treatment life expectancy . I am in Canada. Emily and I both had the same treatment.
Still here in 2024. ❤
Me 2 November 3 cece was here😂😊❤❤❤❤
@CHELSEABuckhannon I'm gutted I never got to know her in time 😢 I would have gone 2 her funeral to show my respect to this beautiful soul been cruelly taken the good die young is never truer
@ I know, I would’ve been there with you. ❤️
@nicholamc2629 I'm sat here now crying life is so cruel. Do you know if she has a grave I can take flowers & payment respect? Xxxx
@nicholamc2629 also any update on Aisha? Xx
Five years later I still watch Emily and get inspiration for how she lived her life. She stuns me with her positivity and never give up attitude. I can't think of anyone, including myself, who would hear this devastating news and still smile and try to enjoy each moment. Emily, you were an incredible human being.
She was an absolute fucking soldier. I can only hope to be a fraction as brave as Emily was whilst facing the worst. A true inspiration.
Go do alternative therapy like Dr Joe Dispenza's work. Miraculous and with science behind it. Allopathic Medicime is not making any progress with cancer because of their limited approach. I will do energy healing on you for free if you choose to have. Send selfie name, date of birth. Nothing else. Was put on my heart to do this. I have seen / experienced miracles before. This doesn't have to be the beginning of the end❣️ sending love xx
You are one of the strongest people that i lean on going through throat cancer with my dad your a fucken inspiration of people!!! One of the strongest people i have ever seen. And i wish i had a friend like her!!!
We should all have an Aisha in our life. What a woman: strong, caring, funny, loving and loyal - bravo.
no we shouldn't .... when I am getting close to the end i don't need someone to tell me that I have to be full of shit (positivity) and just laugh it off...I really don't need this
Moldovan Dorin I don’t think you actually listened to her. She didn’t do any of those things.
@@leylandrichard 3:19, 6:19 and in other clips as well, many "positive" thrusts which to be honest are not very natural
@@moldovandorin6187 That's a very cynical attitude to have. She was trying to find the silver lining in a terrible situation, and that outlook helped Emily to live her life up until the very end.
@@moldovandorin6187 you have no idea what conversations they had behind closed doors. Maybe Emily said please don't change because of this or maybe it's her mechanism for going through all she went through at that time as well. To each his,/her own but you definitely don't need to be rude especially 2 yrs after she passed away. If it didn't bother Emily or get family it shouldn't bother you a total damn stranger.
I often come back to Emily’s channel to remind myself how precious life is and for motivation. What an incredible person she was, I miss her vlogs so much ❤️
yes
Àa
same, every year, i come back :-) Can't believe it's been almost 4 years. I miss her. :'(
@@wesleyjohnson1983 Me too
Here I am for the same reason
"Face it with positivity and love" amazing quote by Aisha 💞
Joann Oriol Aisha is such a sweet heart, and extremely brave love her to bits x
that'll be like me and Sarah😉💕
Aisha wasn’t the one facing it though was she.?
@@bernieoconnell5515 I'm not quite sure what your point is. She wasn't sick but partners of terminally ill people have a lot to come to terms with.
This girl deserved so much more.
She really did.. She loved life so much.. Im here hating mine.. I so would have swapped with her.. She was great.. I followed her jorney as my husband had cancer at the same time... He never took treatment his cancer never spread.. He died from a cardic arrest three mths after Emily..
@@hayleydryden8358 yes Emily loved life and she is an utter inspiration. I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time and your husband has died too - I cannot imagine what yo are going through and I hope that you can find the light again....... peace and love to you xxR x
Aisha saying she is jumping into that black hole of uncertainty with you willingly - that's the most sincere wedding vow I've ever heard.
AnneloesF that was beautiful
AnneloesF - That's true love if I ever heard it. God Bless 💕
You've set me off again!
That’s true love. God bless her for not freaking out and running away. They are 2 very special people.
oh I thought it was sexual.
I am a new subscriber. I have looked back through your previous videos and I can not tell you how much they have inspired me. I was married at 21 to my high school sweetheart and childhood friend. He was 26, and when he was 31 he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was given a 10% chance of surviving 6 months, and we were told it was terminal. I had the conversation with him about what he wanted when he passed. I can totally relate to Aisha, and also to you, Emily. He went through an experimental treatment, and much to everyone's shock he went into a complete remission. The treatment, however, brought on a subsequent bipolar episode, and 3 years later he committed suicide in our backyard. At that time he was still in remission, and upon doing an autopsy found that 3 years and 6 months later he still did not have a single cancerous cell in his body. You never know - miracles do happen and I have seen it myself. But no matter what happens your strength and positivity, as well as Aisha's, is something I will keep on my mind for the rest of my own life. And I will strive to impart that very strength and positivity to my 12 year old daughter. Your very attitude has touched the lives of those who have and are watching you. You are such an inspiration, girl.
Wonderfully written. I remarked here a few weeks ago that, cancer or not, whether Emily's body lives 10 or 100 more years, she is immortal. The mark she has left is indelible, and I am so much better for it. Thanks, Rikki's Reviews, for sharing your strength, too. Says a lot about you that you've been through so much and still have love and light to share.
Rikki's Reviews wow...you’re pretty strong and inspiring yourself
This is such a heartbreaking story. I'm so sorry for your struggle and loss after such a turbulent journey❤️
You have had so much sadness and struggle. I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve lost in that same way too. But an ex. It’s rough. You’re right
About Emily and Aisha, they’re pretty damn amazing and often get me through.
I had never thought about the possibility that a miracle cancer recovery might not necessarily be the less upsetting outcome...what a horrible thing to go through Rikki. It just goes to show that Emily’s going about things all the right way focussing on enjoying her life rather than worrying how long it will be.
It’s amazing how 4 years on I still come back to Emily. Whenever I’m feeling down in the dumps or angry, it doesn’t take long to feel grateful and motivated and keen to make the most of every minute after watching Emily. Thank you Emily for still inspiring people xx
I do as well. It reminds me of how lucky l am to b here. Emily was an amazing girl. We all miss her. R. I. P. Emily ❤❤❤
I do too , I just thought of Emily out of the clear blue and I wanted to see her beautiful smile, love you still Emily ❤
You're in the company of many. Emily is eternally inspiring and lives on in these vlogs. I miss her but I'm so happy to have these videos.
The moment of you Emily on the subway train at 8:05 with your smile and blowing hair, looking carefree in spite of tremendous adversity, exemplifies why you are an inspiration for all of us. You have made such a difference in so many lives, more than you can even imagine.
I have watched this video many times only for that one scene ❤
couldn’t of said it better myself ❤️ she’s incredible and has for sure made a change in the way i think in life
Wendy Sherbert That was my favorite part of this vlog too. It was so beautiful.
I watch this video over and over just for that part too. I know I have to watch through sad tears that they cry together but then the smile and joy and the wind in her hair. I just love that care free moment when life is standing still and all is perfect.
When I feel a bit down or annoyed at the arthritis I have, I come to draw strength from Emily's videos. They do make me cry, but they teach me how to live my best life and be grateful. 3 years on and Emily still touches the living. ❤
I am a pediatric oncology nurse and I can't express enough what an inspiration you are to my beautiful little patients. The strength and love that You, Emily and Aisha are so above and beyond what I have ever encountered. Emily may you be happy and pain free now eating all the food and chicken you like. Aisha, your love and support for Emily was and is so amazing. Love to both of you from a nurse in San Francisco.
Thank God for people like you working in that environment. Don't know how you manage but am soooo thankful there are folks who are fighting this war on the front lines. For kids. It was hard watching my father fight this monster but children? No words.
@risvil
I agree w the comment above ... You're a special soul to dedicate your life to working with people who need help in the absolute worse way. I'm so happy they have you!!
Ris, I just came across this post of Emily’s … obviously I’ve realised that she has passed as this video was of 4 years ago. I just wanted to say thank you to you for the work you do …. People just don’t realise what being an oncology paediatric nurse involves ….
My son was under the oncology department of a large children’s hospital from birth up until he was 18, and is now under an adult hospital … we were told he wouldn’t live more than 2 years old , but he beat all odds as he’s now 33. The oncology nurses are special special people ( of course so are all the doctors ) but you stabilise a wonderful bond with the nurses …. They help us parents to continue battling … they never give up on us. Bless your hearts ♥️🤗
I am watching you in July 2022. Thank you for making these videos. You knew people would need you even after you were gone. And we do. We need to see your strength. Your humor. You love. Now I’m crying too. Thank you Emily for still touching my life.
Lovely message x
I still watch her videos. I miss her dearly. She reminds me what life is really about.
@@myheartisinjapan3184 same ❤❤
When Emily said: and thats all they can do, it breaks my heart to pieces. She was such a beautiful person in and out.
This is real , respect to dear departed Emily this horrible medical condition is enough to make a saint swear .
For sure. I'm normally not one that recognizes so called "beautiful people", the kind of people that really shine in society, but man this womans story hit me hard and I could tell right away the world lost a very bright star that day.
@@jeanherman4540 ?
@@Samsquamsh wasn’t she special! Just think of all the lives she could have touched in her job! This is the first time I’ve seen Aisha cry. These 2 women were powerhouses in beauty and personality. Just absolutely Amazing! Emily fought so very hard. I know I really thought she would beat it. I can’t even imagine the hole she left in the hearts of ppl who loved her. My heart hurt when she passed and I was just a fan watching her life through a camera lens. God bless and be with them even 2 yrs later. Ppl like this are rarities indeed. God speed Em 🙏🏻
Others seem to have detected that she had true impending doom on THAT day with THAT sentence she uttered. (“”...that’s it, isn’t it?”). I didn’t have that same sense at the time, but in watching AFTER she passed away I realized the sentence “that’s it, in’ it?” Emily uttered in tears outside the hospital reflected her losing hope (or almost all- one could never ever take all hope away from her and her hope was infectious). Here and then seeing Aisha’s worried look at EMILY a month or so later in a video (a loonof acceptance of anything to come) hit me especially hard as in retrospect showing times when I myself thought EMILY would live for years, yet I do imagine now, with review of the videos after she died (still a source of hope and nobility, encouragement and compassionate love for all humanity)... she knew earlier than she let on (or than I let myself believe, so much wanting to see her defy the odds and continue living with the joy she so often was able to find, in itself inspiring anyone else feeling like giving up for any reason if their own). Seeing this video with the acebe outside the hospital about the bad news (why could they not have seen all the tunors earlier, I ask, but then I let it go)....It was then apparently that she seems to have known her time was really getting limited though she had before beaten so many “prognostications” before. I have watched these again and again while she was still here and I occasionally pop back, knowing how glad she’d be to see she has 10,000 new subscribers since the date of her death, if she could know (or if she does know). The videos are remarkable in so MANY ways BC she was! (Still is.) She made such a positive difference for so many people and not exclusively those with cancer. Anyone suffering might find accompaniment and some hope from EMILY. And her beloved Aisha.
Watching this two years later. So heartbreaking to watch, knowing what is yet to come. Forces you to reassess your life and appreciate what we are lucky to have.
Best advice I heard was not to borrow trouble. If you feel good, then love it and live in the moment. Those smiles and those good times are the good stuff. Don't be scared, she has your hand and won''t let go. It will be ok.
PrincessofErised That was beautiful.
Awe that was so beutiful
Beautiful
Oh how very positive and truly inspiring! X
I’ve seen this vlog lots of times and I always feel so emotional at the whole thing but especially at the point where they’re on the tube with the wind blowing in their hair and laughing. It just always reminds me to slow down, enjoy life, you don’t have to be doing things that cost the earth, because things like the wind blowing in your hair, are free.
I wish I could put it more eloquently but you’re always on my mind Emily!
She lived another 2 months after this! What an inspirational woman! RIP Emily ❤
Dear Emily, my wife and I are watching your video right now! We’ve just heard the news, and are gutted. Sending you lots of love, Neil & Teresa. xx
Ps. We are following you every step of the way. Blessings.
Emily- my mom had 6 metastatic brain lesions from Melanoma as well. She did 5x whole brain radiation which did significantly shrink her tumors, thus extending her life with no heavy side effects. I know you both know this is a "palliative/comfort" option, however, I wanted to share it as it did give her more time. Im so sorry, Emily. Keep strong. You inspire all of your viewers- more than you know. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Xx
killer queen so good to share that positive news with Emily. Cancer makes me angrier than anything else in the world.

Her videos are among the saddest videos on youtube but yet beautiful and inspiring. I am so sorry Emily and her loved ones had to go through this. Her videos tells me how precious life is and the importance to treat everyone I encounter in my daily life with kindness and respect since I have no idea what they are going through.
They're sad only because the melanoma was relentless. Every time she had a scan, there was more cancer. Besides that, her videos are inspiring because she did her best to live her life to the fullest, even going to the gym to the very end. Just wow!
And Tom's
I only found your vlog a few days before you passed. I am a 50 year old nurse struggling with anxiety following abuse as a child but u have inspired me so much to keep going . I have nursed many people through their cancer battles , many strong, brave individuals but u were without a doubt the most amazingly strong , beautiful, inspiring young lady ❤️ I have told many people young and old with both physical and emotional issues to watch your vlog . I watch every day and you have helped me so much. May u rest in peace, thank you so much Emily ❤️❤️❤️
I've never understood how somebody so full of life can just die..I know everybody dies but it does seem so unfair....I pray you found peace and heaven...
There's no peace outside God's rules. I miss her though.

Be happy WITHIN your beliefs. Keep your judgement to yourself.
Never have I cliccked on a video so fast. Was waiting for todays. I have not even watched a min of it yet and Already I wanna cry.
Oh sweetie, I'm sorry to hear this news. I do believe if anyone can beat this you can. I work in an oncology department and I've seen so many times they tell someone you have months to live and years later they are going strong...kick some ass!!
You are a true inspiration!
If ever there's need for a miracle, its now.
I have watched these vlogs over and over again and Aisha’s positivity still amazes me every time. At times when others would have crumbled she was an absolute rock. Such an inspiration.
My heart hurts for you. Keep doing what you do! You are changing the world with your positive attitude and your fight
Praying for a miracle.❤️
Oh sweet angel. I don't think you really knew the magnitude of positivity and life changing energy you inspired in so many people in such a short time.
You are one amazing soul. And thank god for Aisha. She is definitely your rock. I just wanted you to know that my mom had full brain radiation. She did loose all her hair(she rocked that) but as for other long term symptoms, she had none. That will be three years this coming September. I do believe in miracles. I do believe in positive thinking. You got this. I will keep you and Aisha in my prayers. Take care. Xo
Joanne Cummings Your mom is still alive 3 yrs later??
Allyson M she sure is.
It gave my grandma another year and she had 27 spots in her brain. Yes she lost her hair but other than that the only major problem she had during that time was a broken wrist from a fall. She was 87.
This is so good to hear. I hope Em and Aisha are reading comments.
I will be praying for them as well.
me and my girl are sitting here cryin. you both are so wonderful - your love is so so strong and it shows through everything you do how much strength you have both within yourself and Aisha. you are a massive inspiration and an incredible human and you can, you will, beat this. please reach out if there is anything at all we can do -- we are here for you the same way you are for us with your incredible editing, beautiful tunes and amazing cinematography and most of all your magnificent personality. we both send you both all the strength and the love in the world.

I closed my eyes and placed my hands on my computer and prayed to the good Lord to turn things around and cure this cancer, this is the prayer I will continue everyday as I watch your Vlog. Gods blessings to you both. Rhonda Willoby from the US
Your positivity has gotten you this far, I know that it will absolutely get you over this bump! You're going to get through this. We're all here rooting for you, WE will do this together!
As soon as the video started with the call from the Dr's secretary, and I heard the urgency in her voice, my heart just sank. 😥 So brave and dignified.
What the hell? I’m so pissed off. You girls are so amazing, why does such a shitty thing happen to such great people? Meanwhile all kinds of assholes live to 90. I wanted to puke sitting here listening to that doctor talk. Keep going like you are, you really are so amazing. I don’t even have the words to express what I want. It’s crazy how I can care so deeply for someone I’ve never met. I tend to crumble when I get horrible news. The strength of you two girls is so inspiring.
That's how it is good people die bad people keep on living and committing crimes.
Bad things happen to good people and bad people. Good things happen to good people and bad people. Everyone’s path is different and no one really knows why we are dealt the cards we are dealt. What’s important is to live your life with gratitude and hope. Emily embodied that. She’s been gone five years but she is still making her mark on the world today as if she was still alive.
My whole self just died inside. I know I'm just a random comment but I love you 2 so so much.
So do I. I think about them so much.
Ye me too
That Chicken Purse Chick I assume that you eat chickens then

My favourite UA-camr/ person on the internet. You’re such an inspiration. You’ve made me appreciate life and watching you and Aisha pushes me to do more, I wish you both the world❤️ you’ve got this
Im typically not too keen on comments like '' I cried '', but this just heartbreaking to see a young person go through this, a person with so much to live for. So many times I wanted to reach through the screen and give her a hug. Like many others, Ive been personally affected, loosing a loved one. All the best to all of Emilys loved ones.
Emily if this is truly the end, then consider your quality of life and how you want it to be. I live in the US and am a former nurse. Many people would just say that they would rather live their life to the fullest whatever is left than go through a possible toxic treatment like you are facing. Consider all your options, review all the side effects, and know that it could be hard once your brain is radiated. You have all the support of your fans who are praying for you and that love you both and your channel. God Bless you. You are a strong person mentally and physically whatever you choose to do. It is your choice. Hugs and God Bless you both.
Yep as a nurse too- I'd say the same thing!
Not a nurse but agree with your advice
Daphne Fowler I'd agree with this too. I'd rather enjoy the end of my life with the positive attitude you have rather than feel awful and unable to function xx
Agree with you. I think I’d have an eff it attitude and just do whatever I wanted now.
As a doctor, and having had family members in similar positions, I think I would say the same thing.. sending so much positivity your way, I love your videos, I love the way you inspire people, and think both of you are amazing xxx
I truly care about you both even though I’ve never met you, I’m so sorry for your news, sending love xx
Feel the same way. My stomach dropped when I heard them being called back to the hospital. They are both so lucky to have each other when going through something so difficult. Many couples who are much older and have been together for decades would not be so strong. Keep up the positivity but remember it's ok to be mad and feel shitty. We will all understand and will try to be your cheerleader!
I feel the same, they are both precious and it hurts to see them so upset! Cancer sucks ☹️.
As Aisha says though Emily is truly a miracle xx
i am so thankful Aisha left all these videos on UA-cam because i am battling cancer right now and Emily's story gives me strength and i think about her a lot when getting treatment
I have never commented on any You Tube vid before this, but bcos you are such pure magic Emily (& Aisha), a miracle to us all, such an inspiration. I wanted you to know that I love you both & that I literally couldn't go to bed tonight until I found out how your day went. We're all here rooting for you. You're so precious and for our own selfish reasons we need you around, so keep on spreading your joy and shining that beautiful light of yours! I reckon for sure you can pull off an Anita Moorjani!! Love you so much
I miss her so much she gave me strength on days I had none and made me laugh and cry . Love to u A I hope u are surrounded by love 💕.
It's the way you worked out and stayed healthy as possible til the end that you were not confined to a hospital bed the last months of your life, that's the legacy you left, you a taught cancer patients that they can live a full life til the end without detererotating in the hospital, ,,nothing brought you down for long! You are the most inspirational person I've heard of,,if only one should have an Emily or Aisha in their life, how wonderful that would be!!!
I’ve followed you for a while now and you’ve made me appreciate life so much more! You’re such a beautiful and uplifting women! I’m so sorry about the news, praying for you things get better 💔xxxx
SaffronBarkerVlogs ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching ever since. You are such a light in this world....and have taught me so much in a short amount of time. I am usually a silent subscriber,but today I have to say something! You are the kind of person I hope to become....you illustrate daily that it is not the number of years that you have in your life,but how you live in those years that matter. A lesson we all should live by. I am so very touched by you.....your story,your spirit through this journey. Both you and Aisha radiate grace,even under such cruel fire. May you both SOLDIER on.Sending love and prayers to you both.....a girl in Stone Mountain Georgia .....Michelle xoxo
Right, I try not to complain about stupid stuff because if you have your health you have everything.
SaffronBarkerVlogs it seems crazy what an impact someone can have on so many lives ,I feel blessed to have been effected by Emily and Aisha, take care
Michelle Stephens I found her also, but to late. I grew up in Dekalb county. I now live in North Georgia. I agree they have touched my heart and such a inspiration.
Oh Emily 😢I never cry during sad movies or UA-cam videos and I’m bawling right now and I even feel faint. It’s shocking how much care we all have for someone we have never met. I just can’t wrap my head around how unfair this is and how amazing you’re doing for what the scans show. I love you both and we are all behind you 💜💜

Traci Provins oh Traci what a lovely comment ❤ I agree with every single word only I just cannot find the words to comment myself so thank you! This world is so cruel and so wrong 😭😭😭 WE LOVE AND ADORE YOU EMILY & AISHA!!! Bless you both ❤❤❤❤
Keep finding myself going back constantly to rewatch all of Emily’s vlogs, they instantly put me in a good mood, I think a lot of people would say the same
Same here! I found her channel after she had passed away but keep coming back idk why😭
I am .. I cried when you cried... I love you, i dont know you but you have made me feel so motivated during my lupus journey.. I dont know your woman is right all the positive thinking and just doing has made you a miracle. and maybe that miracle will keep carrying you through. I love you both, keep smiling.. xoxo
Emily I’m so sorry to hear this news. You are so young and it’s so unfair. 🙏💞😘
Crap,crap,crap Love you and sorry for the shitty news . I hate cancer !!!
Emily will survive. Look at her history “Emily Strong”
My first video of her journey. Cancer does not discriminate. I cant believe the strength and courage that the victims find within their selves to endure chemo and the other treatments. I have such respect and love for them. Thank u for sharing your journey.
Emily,
My girlfriend's father also had a massive tumour on his spine. It had been growing for 20 years (according to the doctors). It reached the point that he couldn't walk anymore and needed breathing support all the time. It was deeply rooted and basically, in a really bad spot. The doctors said: "You're in for a surgery. 10% - you survive, 90% - we fail, you die or become paralyzed. The latter option is probably going to happen but we have to try anyway." He started giving goodbye-gifts to his closest relatives and thinking about what's next...
And then he survived the surgery and now, 7 years later, he's still cancer-free. Of course, he can't run like a gazelle, has (sometimes a lot of) pain and cannot push it to the limit anymore, but...
He's ALIVE, he can slowly walk, he can enjoy food, he can talk, he can laugh, he can watch his favourite movies and he can (and is allowed to) drive (even though he earlier lost his driving licence twice, due to his condition).
Never lose hope! You never know what's around the corner :)
Expect lots of positive energy coming your way from me :)
P.S. To Emily (and basically to anyone who is reading this).
I see that you use wireless headphones a lot. Stop immediately! ALWAYS BUY WIRED DEVICES, whenever you have a choice. I know that wireless devices are easy to use and you can take them everywhere...but when you use them, it's like putting your head into a microwave oven. It's bad for anyone's health. I'm saying this to you so that you could help yourself by not (unintentionally) hurting yourself
scientific proof please. conjecture on iffy research does no one any good and only spreads fear where none is necessary.
to call it "microwave" is a lie. Microwave ovens are tuned to vibrate water to heat it. Does the freq. of wireless devices do this? Where is the research?
www.fitplein.nl/straling/schadelijke-straling-draadloze-bluetooth-technologie/
It's in Dutch, but if you use Google Translate, you get a pretty decent English translation.
Indeed, as you say, I take this information with a grain of salt but you never know.
Besides, long time ago, one could buy Benzedrine pills, Coke contained cocaine and sugar was advertised as actually "being good for children as it'd give them energy." Also, the houses which we lived in contained Asbestos. All those things were widely popular as nobody was yet aware of their horrific side effects.
Who knows, maybe Bluetooth, Wi-Fi etc. are the "Benzedrine of our generation." If there are some reports of them being potentially dangerous, I'm definitely not willing to ignore them. For this reason, if I can choose between the safe wired headphones or PROBABLY safe wireless headphones, I will choose option #1. But, of course, to each his own.
abdelkaderelbrazi hes very lucky and an example to anyone auffering from cancer. But the fact that it had been growing in him for so long shows that we all need to have proper regular check ups. Its shocking that the majority of men diagnosed with prostrate cancer are already in stage 4 and that is why its taken over from breast cancer as the biggest killer in the uk. Men are particulary problematic when it comes to regular check ups. Even when they have serious symptoms they feel embarassed about checkups in that area of their body. All men need to take better care of themselves for their childrens sake if anything
You're right! However, I would like to add one small thing to what you said. Namely, if you decide to have a checkup because you feel that something is really off, please choose your doctors well and/or ask for a second opinion. Unfortunately, doctors are not created equal and you need some luck with them. For example, what I didn't mention in my original post, my girlfriend's father actually went to see a doctor a couple of years before everything really went south. He complained about dizziness, his getting tired quickly, as well as problems keeping balance/limping. The doctor's answer was "You are just too fat. Lose some weight, mate!" There were no scans, no blood tests, nothing. The poor guy just embraced his symptoms and kept on going for another couple of years with a time bomb on his spine. Had it been discovered back then, most probably he would've been as fit as a fiddle today. Now, he is a paraplegic.
abdelkaderelbrazi also dairy was touted as good for strong bones etc, now we know it robs calcium from bones. And that the calcium in milk is not absorb-able by the human body. It was just a marketing ploy perpetrated by the dairy industry. Dairy in take has been directly linked to bone diseases such as osteoporosis and is associated with all kinds of other conditions and intolerance's. (Such as lactose intolerance). Just another example.
I am sending you every bit of love, prayers & positivity I can. I can’t tell you how, I would sound selfish, but you have helped pull me out of a bad place. Your attitude has made me re evaluate mine. And I’ll
Forever thank you for that. Lots of love to you & Aisha 💕
Still rewatching you guys.
Emily was one of a kind
Still so sad that aren’t on this earth anymore..
Aisha too !
Hi Emily. My heart’s broken for you. I couldn’t imagine what you’re going through. I’m praying for you and your positive mindset will get you far and i PROMISE YOU. Your mind is sooo powerful and you’re so strong. The way you handle this all is truly incredible & inspiring.
Karlee Steel beautifully said❤️
Very well said 👍 I had to sleep on it before responding. I love you and Aisha so much.;) your bond is so beautiful and clear for all to see.. ❤
It's so very wrong ! Cancer is insane and there's nothing fair about it. You have been amazing in dealing with all of it. Your strength is palpable Emily ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry to hear this. My thoughts & prayers are with you. did you try sodium bicarbonete and honey
Does anyone ever see a cancer patient and think "You're so weak". I mean if literally everyone is so strong, is anyone strong?
@@leondebates2266you must be new here
I’m not an emotional person but this got me. You make me want to improve myself and live life to the full each day - from reading comments this is a common theme! We are all rooting for you. Stay the strong, positive, beautiful person you are 💞we are all here to support you xx
Crazy how someone can appear healthy walking down the road yet they could be fighting for their life.
One of the worst things is how it changes absolutely everything. Celebrating a simple holiday carries a weight of not knowing if its the last. Once basic daily conversationn becomes a minefield of avoiding awkward topics like what ones plans for next summer are. Everything changes.
Everyone is terminal. Some people are just aware of this fact, and others are ignorant
As Aisha said your a miracle Emily, your gonna be just fine xoxo don’t cry..give Aisha a big massive hug. Thinking of you every single day and sending all my energy your way everyday. 🧘🏽♀️
Em - PLEASE KNOW We Are WITH YOU & We Love LOVE YOU
Aisha - We are here for you and stand with you as well. ❤️
Love and Support and Positive Thoughts for Strength...
This is my favorite video. Aisha saying “ They called you a miracle………” Lord! What support!
Praying for peace for you both! Stay strong. You're a real inspiration, from Chicago
The title makes me sad, really sad... I'm one more stranger that like to see your smile and the beautiful way how you guys see the live. I feel sad for the news... It's really sad to see you cry, despite don't even know you (in person). Please, please that the things can change, because they really can change! Your body can do a lot of thing that Medicine still can't explain. So believe! We all are with you Emily! Keep strong!
Its 2022 and I'm still here watching Emily's vlogs. I'm going to start watching "Happy Valley" and remember what a beautiful soul Emily was. ❤️
Still missing Emily 😔
Aisha said ,"They last called you a miracle and I truly believe that's because of God and your positive mindset..." True!! God has you in the palm of His hand...He created you and has made you into a miracle, because you believe He can. He's NOT done with you yet! Praying for you everyday. We all love you so much!
You really are a walking miracle, I was thinking that just as you said it. It’s so hard to wrap my head around because you don’t fit script at alllllll none of this makes any sense and I’m a nurse 😫
im not a nurse but i can assume its because she keeps her body mobile as well as keeps her nutrition in check, she doesnt allow her body reserve fats and doesnt eat too much and builds muscle when she puts weight on. i feel like that contributes to her being as well off as she is in this state. she is very maticulous about it.
Abbigail Babino Definitely is helping her id say. Oddly enough I see spinal cord injuries a lot and this is truly a miracle. Nothing about her and I mean nothing screams or even hints at the fact that she has a brain tumor or anything close to her spinal cord. I’d be very interested to see her scan. It’s almost like I refuse to believe it unless I see it with my own eyes! She’s just so perfect...
6 brains tumors none the less!!! I just don’t get it. Maybe they are wrong and she’ll just defy the odds like always 🙏🏼
InBetweenDreams that’s what I keep thinking! I am graduating from medical school and worked in the ER for 3 years prior and I can’t believe she has that kind of tumor at C1! At that point it should be affecting everything. So hard to believe the scan. But I really believe it is because of her amazing strength, positivity and nutrition/physical shape.
Gosh I am blown away by you two.
Real traditional British girls, strength, humour and kindness.
I am in tears for you. Thank you for shining a light into my darkness. I offer you warm thoughts and prayers where ever you are now.
Ok theres 16591 prayers coming your way, we will walk this journey with you, we want nothing more than a miracle at this point. Sooo much love for you both 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If a Martian landed in front of me and asked me for an example of a human at its best and most beautiful it would be a tie between you. Sending profound love from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Aisha is an angel
Oh Emily, I'm so sorry for you! I feel totally & completely gutted & I felt physically sick for you & Aisha when I heard your latest diagnosis. Hopefully your full brain treatment will be a success without any bad side effects. I just get the feeling your not going anywhere soon, your too special! Your so positive & are such a fighter & you always put me in a better place to deal with my own incurable cancer. All my love, prayers & best wishes to you both always 💙💚💛💜
Sweetheart, my heart and prayers are with you both!
Here in February 2023. I miss sweet Emily so much. I go to Aisha's Instagram everyday and see her sweet baby son and follow their lives. Emily would be so very happy for Aisha.
love from Canada, Emily. Bless you. Will send you all the positive energy in me... you're a walking inspiration.
You're such an inspiration. Words can't express the amount of courage/bravery/strengh.... that you have. I just wanted to hug you and say everything is going to be alright and that your suffering is not in vain, nothing in this world is in vain, even the movement of the smallest leaf has some sort of purpose. I can't say I know how it feels like cuz i'm just a young fella who never experienced the world at it's full but all I know is that there's much more out there, and i mean more than our eyes can see, or our mind can conceive. I don't know what it is, I just feel it every time i suffer, every time i hit my head against the wall, every time I fail and cry and brag and I just look around and see the sky and the trees moving and the water in the lake reflecting the sun and everything around me screaming: "we are all here and everything is alright. See? we all move, we all change, we all exist for you and we mean something just like the pain you're feeling right now. That too is going to change, just wait and tomorrow you feel the rain or the sun or the wind blowing. We are here for you, even if your eyes can't see us or your skin can't feel us, we are here for you, changing endless just to prove you that that's gonna change too." I hope you forgive any grammar mistakes, I'm just a brazillian guy who fortunately stumbled upon your videos after discovering my grandma is suffering from a similar problem. With all my heart, wish you all the best! (:
Beautiful. Life continues doesn't it Danilo. It never ends.
Yes, It's just conforting to know we can't control life. It runs by itself just like a miracle.
How she remained so positive and upbeat is to be admired. A beautiful soul taken too soon 💖
My heart just broke
Only know you through your blogs but am so invested in you, I'm totally heart broken to hear this. Thinking of you, I hope you can find that amazing attitude that has got you this far for the rest of your journey. X
I don't know you but I what a total privilege for you to allow us into such a vulnerable time for you. All of us Im sure are watching feeling guilty that we are...but just marvelling at your spirit, energy, beauty and wit. You are awesome. Totally awesome.
♥️

Wow I just got this video recommended. I'm so sad all of these young people are leaving the world too soon.
MiddleAgedMinx
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
My heart ❤ is broken 😪. Dear sweet Emily & Aisha -I'm sitting here crying for both of you-there have been so many days I was very sad in my life and watching your videos brought me out of my sadness with your sense of humor/your love for each other/your beautiful accent/just everything about you is awesome !!!! I can't imagine anything happening to you .... Plz stay strong sweetheart and feel the 1000's and 1000's of arms wrapped around you with nothing but L❤VE !!!!!!!
Emily that nurse is right- you are a miracle
I ended up working in oncology drug manufacturing and I'd actually never seen such experiences before of people going through cancer like this... It makes me feel like I want to try harder and offer new solutions. I imagine my wife being told that she is terminal... I would just develop whatever it needs to be done to cure her.
Oh my gosh.. I have a ton of stress and life issues and I complain about it a lot.. but I can’t even begin to understand what you are facing.
Still! Even after blow after blow that you’ve been handed, you speak words of positivity, and strength.. you smile and laugh and encourage others.. Please know that you both are a HUGE HUGE inspiration to me and, I know, to so many others. Your life means something. You’re here for a reason.. a purpose. You’re making a huge impact.
I pray so hard that you will beat the odds and be here for years and years longer. The world needs people like you.
But either way.. please know, you have made your mark on this earth. And it will remain forever. ♥️
iprefersteve I'm so with you there, we all complain about stupid stupid things but really it's nothing to what others have to go through, these girls truly are a inspiration and I am going to try and not complain about stuff anymore
Peachy Outlook Million percent agree. Things like this really put things into perspective, don’t they? My problems are real, and they are many.. but if Emily and Aisha can still look at the bright side with all that they are dealing with, well there’s no reason why I can’t too. :)
iprefersteve so true, I'm going through a very stressful time at the minute too but we gotta keep smiling and get through it :)
Peachy Outlook Absolutely. You’re not alone, okay? My prayers are with you
iprefersteve I'm feeling the same way as you.
I am absolutely gutted for you both, I really truly am and I am so so sorry you’re having to go through this. Thank god you have got each other, you are the perfect balance and when one is down, the other one comes strong with positivity. Thinking of you both and carry on doing it the Emily way Emily and carry on with that determination and thirst for life xx
Idk if anyone will read this but I sometimes come back to Emily because I feel like she has the type of strength that every person needs to have. I hope she knows that she is cared for and looked up to by many for going through what she had gone through
Just started watching your videos and I gotta say you are strong person. If anyone can't fight this it is You! Keep that positive attitude.
Hands down this was the hardest video I have ever watched on UA-cam. I literally turned it off three times before I could finish it. It made me soooo angry that this is happening to such a beacon of light. Then I cried my eyes out. I have been watching these two selfless women for about a month and a half and I have never been so changed to my core and felt so much love for complete strangers. Look what she is accomplishing, genuinely touching the hearts and souls of so many people she has never met. How many people can honestly say they have inspired so much love in their life. Like she said miracles happen. Everyone bombard god with so many prayers that he cant look away. Screw what that doctor said keep fighting. THANK YOU for sharing your life, story, and journey with all of us! Love ya girl!
I suffer from ocd, ptsd, panic attacks, agoraphobia, depression and other physical stuff, but those videos i watched last weeks gave me more aprecciation for my often hard and complicated life. iam still here i can see the sun, breath the fresh air enjoy good days and on bad days remember there will be more good ones again.
Videos like this changed my perspective on life on how precious and how fragile it is and it all can be at the end in just now time.
Who ever may read this in the future. please enjoy your time as much as possible and i wish you all the best!
love.
I watched and cried. My heart is broken for you both. You are such an inspiration to everyone out there not just people sick or dying every person can be inspired by your drive and You should be proud of that. Your strength positivity and determination has kept you alive this far hold on to that. Xxx
You two are so loved by so many people. Your videos are so inspiring to watch. I've literally never seen somebody handle such devastating news with such grace and positivity. I lost my boyfriend to cancer last year and I wish your videos had been around then to show how the process should be handled as we had barely any positivity, optimism or happiness towards the end. It's so easy to be swallowed up by the timescale you are given, but you two are showing it who's boss. Keep fighting, you're both so incredibly brave. X
♡♡♡
My best friend died 2 days after her cancer diagnosis in November. You and your fiancé make me happy. Yous are so upbeat and strong. You are exactly how my best friend would have been if she had been given the chance to fight the cancer. Keep doing what you’re doing- you are amazing!!! Xx
Love you and Aisha, can’t imagine how you’re feeling but your positive attitude always shines through. We’re all here supporting and loving the both of you, this will not beat you em, you’re made of strong stuff ❤️
My heart just dropped. You both are in my heart. I feel for you and Aisha. Did u find the tea? Btw, I studied Psychology and health in college. There have been cases where peiple have done positive therapy. They visualize killing the bad cells and parts in their bodies and after doing it over and over daily ... the doctors all the sudden see that the malignant parts either reduced or vanished/disappeared. I really just want to hug you both.
