    Hi Tom. I am a medical student. Thank you for sharing your story and perspective on the health care you received. I will keep Andrea in mind always and try to learn from the emotional interactions you both did enjoy with doctors and times you wish you would have been treated differently. I am striving to be an empathetic and compassionate doctor; you and Andreas story will help me in the journey. I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing.

      NORML it seems it’s rare for an ER doctor to actually care about a patient’s pain. I have been sent to ER by my neurologist for migraines that have lasted 2 weeks, and the doctor, and even the nurse, has accused me of just drug seeking. I haven’t been to ER in a few years now, no matter how bad the migraine, and even if my neurologist has told me too. I’d rather suffer at home, and at least keep my dignity.

      @@loriadams7724 I've always had pretty bad experiences in A&E (the British equivalent of the ER) so unfortunately this seems to be an international issue. I've always had great experiences with my consultant and specialists thankfully, but it's incredibly frustrating being told my pain isn't as bad as I know it is. it must be even worse having to pay for healthcare. Im sorry you're suffering, I hope it eases x

    I waited 2 years to watch this. I didn't know if I could until now. I used to fall asleep to her voice when my babies were little and I couldn't sleep. Her folding laundry and talking....it soothed me. She was a stranger but at the same time a close friend. She was so gentle and kind and funny. I haven't heard her voice since her death because it hurt so much, even now.
    Your strength and faith are beautiful. She would be so proud of you and the kids.

      I just landed on some of Andrea’s videos in the last days and admired how organized she was. I clicked into the comments section and noticed several people commenting how she is with Jesus now and that struck me because she is so young and seemingly healthy in these videos that I saw and even mentioned subtly the possibility of having more kids in the future so I knew she was young enough and healthy enough to consider future pregnancies and hearing that she had passed away didn’t make sense to me. This sent me on a rabbit trail and I clicked onto your channel and scrolled down to the videos and quickly saw this one. I sat and listened to the entire story and I cried as soon as she needed to hear the doctor come back in and repeat to her again the news that she was dying and how she wanted to go home to see her kids. I couldn’t stop crying all the way through your video from that point on, as a mother of four myself. Andrea and your family and your UA-cam channel all are completely unfamiliar to me but this story just tears my heart apart and I can only imagine your kids going back and watching her videos just to see her face and hear her voice. Her video on Let’s Talk About Kindergarten she goes through her scrapbook of Asher in his kindergarten. My oldest is also named Asher and he is starting this curriculum this year and that’s the whole reason I landed here on Andrea’s videos and her story. Tom, and Mills family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that there is a gaping hole in each of your hearts that can never be filled. I pray tonight, even though this is apparently 4 years later, that your hearts will find healing and joy in Christ and that the memories of laughter and happiness with Andrea keep her alive in your hearts in the warmest and most comforting ways. God bless your family.

      I couldn't agree more. Your such a great dad. Recently due to a dentist screwing up pulling my tooth. I got an infection that lasted 3.5 months. Four rounds of antibiotics, the ER, etc. Never so sick. My youngest who is disabled had to come on the ambulance with me and stayed with me in the ER forever, freezing as their air was way too cold. My son's father would not watch him, would not bring me to the hospital. Many times I have and still do collect bottles and cans for medicine. My point is I was and am always so stressed out because all my son has is me. I'm a mommy to 8 all but 2 are grown. The ENT office thought I'd have to have a 4.5 hour surgery under general anesthesia due to this. I got so scared because I said I couldn't as I have no one to watch my son. I can only eat mostly a liquid diet now, which has caused me to loose too much weight which I cant affird to loose weight which caused my iron stores to be low and me anemic. Which caused me to faint and my little boy found me. Which again is scary. So you, Tom may think you can't do this or it's not how Andrea did it but give yourself a pat on your shoulder. Your kids have you. That is such a comforting feeling as a parent and for your children. My son and I have watched your channel for a long time. It warms our hearts, your doing good. I asked all my subscribers to pray and told them about your go fund ne and asked them to share it. Which eventhough I was so sick. Made me feel good that I could do something to help all of you. The just if my story is your giving your children the best gift knowing they can count on you. That your not collecting cans and bottles out of garbages for money. I know your in pain and I cry watching you get teary eyed, I say cry, it does not make you less of a man. God bless and Much Love.

    I love you dad. I know Andrea must have been shocked and scared. It happened so fast. There was really no time to process things. But in a way that’s a blessing. Our minds can be the most frightening when they are left the time to think.
    And unfortunately doctors have failed so many people on a daily basis that many people have given up on them. I’ve met so many people who’ve lost faith in doctors. People who were left to save themselves.
    But Andrea left a wonderful legacy and lived a wonderful life. She lived more in her time then most people ever will. Because she was a woman of action.
    I know she’s still with you and wants you to be happy and carry on her spirit in her children. ❤️

His grandmother who had passed so many years before him told him it was not his time. When he came back, he was a bit upset that he was here and not there. His purpose and mission were not realized until he was older. He told me, never be afraid of dying.

    Tom, you will never know me. My story is unimportant and I never even knew about Andrea's channel or your family. During the last week or so of Andrea's life, God started putting all kinds of channels in front of me and they were all desperate requests for prayer for your dear wife. I started praying for her and watching this sad tale unfold. All the while I had the sense she was headed home to heaven and that I should get to know you and the children. I believe I've been assigned as a prayer warrior for you all, so just wanted to let you know. I pray for your family every day....for all manner of needs. I pray for your heart, your devastated heart. Your trying to move forward caring for the kids while being lonely and while grieving. I can't say I understand; I have no words of wisdom to impart, but brother Tom, I'm here. I care about YOU and I'm praying for you. Please don't misunderstand my words. I only want you to understand that God cares about your needs as well as your children's and He has assigned people (I'm not going to egotistically think I'm the only one) to have your back in prayer. Stand in the Hand of God dear brother...You are loved!

    I'm so sorry about Andrea's death, I didn't know about it until today. I've been thinking about her lately even though I haven't watched her channel in awhile. I just looked this up because I wanted to tell her something... When I was watching her channel, I was also pregnant with a little girl and I watched her "girls room" episode. Andrea was inspirational to me about raising a large family in a loving, simple way. I wanted to be like her. During the video, she said one of her daughters name was Eden and I fell in love with that name. I now have a 2 1/2 year old named Eden, after her daughter, which also reminds me of the loving way Andrea mothered her children. I've been meaning to get this in writing to send her this message, but I didn't know about what happened to her. So, I wanted to let you know that your wife reached deep into the hearts of those she influenced for good. Prayers for you and your family.

It's important for us to talk about it, and I'm glad to see how healthy your family deals with death. I remember even before Andrea died she said you guys talk openly with your kids about death, and it's good to see her own death was no exception. Much love and further healing to you and the family.

I remember in August I kept checking to see to see if any new videos were uploaded. And I started freaking out after weeks of waiting, I knew something was wrong 💔 my heart is still torn I miss her so much, I did cry after the first UA-cam update and I even made a Facebook just to get updates!! Thank you Andrea, Tom, and the rest of the Mills family for sharing these videos and letting me be apart of your life for the last 3 years (and many more I hope 🙏💕) In my young life I learned so much from Andrea and when I become a mother I will implement some of her ways.

    Tom, I am struck with how good a dad, husband and keeper of the faith you are. You and Andrea did your level best, in this most trying, shocking and unfathomable circumstance. We will never know, or have the capacity to know, the reasons things happen as they do on this earth. I know God is well pleased with you, His good and faithful servant. Though the road is not easy, you are shepherding your kids and re-working systems as needed. Thank you for sharing this information about the events of August.. It was a precious gift to us as I cannot imagine how painful it was for you to go back in memory to tell that story; it is greatly appreciated by all who love you, Andrea and your family. Godspeed, Paige

    My heart just breaks for you, Tom. I know this was very difficult for you to do. I wish I could reach across the internet and give you a hug. Once breast cancer has metastasized, there is really nothing that can be done. I'm so glad that she got to see her children, they were everything to her. I'm praying for all of you. Please don't think that you need to show us that video footage. Those were very private moments, and perhaps should remain so.

    You are a Brave Man to share the story of Andrea’s Graduation to Heaven. No matter what was done right or wrong or at incorrect times, or whatever may feel as “mistakes”. I’m a single Mother who raised 6 alone. I lost 9 infants. I lost my husband. I was alone, in a locality where no one knew me, so support was nil. Many mistakes were made, but in those “mistakes” one can see the benefit.
    After One slips into unconsciousness or a coma, they lose their hearing after they take their last breaths. Be Comforted knowing that Precious Andrea heard you, heard Your children.what a joy to leave this temporary body, hearing the voices of Your Children!

    it's crazy how all these doctors make people wait for so long in such a critical condition and wasting time when every minute matters. they should have done ultrasound of her abdomen (liver and gallbladder) asap instead of being focused on her blood pressure. (I worked as a nurse in Russia, that's where I am from, I guess here they use different protocols). I am so sorry for your loss, it's heartbreaking.. I wish Andrea took care of her health and had gotten checked earlier to prevent this disease, but I guess she started having symptoms when it was already too late, cause cancer doesn't really hurt at early stages .. RIP

She would have made an excellent friend. I STILL want to be a friend to her by watching her children grow up and giving them encouragement and love even if it is just on UA-cam. As long as Tom is vlogging I will NEVER stop watching! The children are a joy. If only Andrea was still here awaiting baby Cyrus' birth. 😞 MISS YOU ANDREA MILLS 💕💕💕💕💕

    I lost my darling husband in March 2018, and went through a terrible time while it was happening, so I understand how talking about it can help to ease the grief for you.
    It's been 18 months for me, Tom, and I still grieve for my Bob, but please believe me that you will learn how to cope with that, too and, with your faith, it should help strengthen you in this journey you are all going through without Andrea there to guide and support you.
    I just wish I'd had the records of my Bob's life, the way that you have of Andrea, Tom - it will be a blessing for you, as it is for your children already, when you are ready to face it all properly :)
