    Today I was stressing because my hair was bothering me. I had been painting my room and had gotten paint in it, it's been a weird texture lately, my roots were coming in, my hair color had gotten really weird looking and I was stressing so much that I was actually close to tears. I've been laying in bed stressing over my hair and then came across this video. I guess this is just a reminder to never take anything for granted and that there will always be someone with bigger issues, that it's not the end of the world. She is such an amazing person and is helping people in more ways than she knows. She is so beautiful inside and out and I'm so grateful I came across her channel. Please keep doing what you are doing, you're absolutely incredible.

    my dad had a brain tumor removed last summer and had to get radiation after as well. his hair had been curly and turning gray (he was 54 at the time) and after radiation it came back dark brown again, no grays, and a different hair texture (it was softer and a little bit straighter than before). side note: my mom is jealous of his hair haha

Our now 6 year old is our HERO! It makes me so sad to see the devastation that cancer does to families and until we were faced with the nightmare I never really knew much about cancer but childhood cancer. I've just realized this last 2 years that life is too fragile and to LOVE one another as much as we can! Thank u again 😙❤

    Cancer does suck.. my oldest brother just recently passed away with a brain tumor after fighting for over 12 years. We weren't expecting it and it has been so different ever since without him :/ I miss him every single day. I do know if he was here though he would be saying to fight strong and hard because you can do it.
    It was so hard to trust in God, when I thought God was the one who took him away.. still am struggling to be honest to know why it happened, but now I have a beautiful guardian angel looking over and protecting me :)

  • @Bethyboii13
    @Bethyboii13 7 років тому +175

    Hey girl , I'm studying radiotherapy at the moment and everything you are describing is totally normal for radiotherapy. The pain you feel on the other side of the head will be because of something called exit dose which basically that because of the radiation beams you are being treated with some of the energy will be going straight through your head causing the pain on the other side of the head. Regards to your side effects cancer related fatigue is such an issue which is why you are soo tired and the best thing you can do which I hate saying to people is to keep moving do little and often , rest when you need to rest, and with the food you should have high calorie shakes if you can get them from your doctor. Keeping your weight up especially for head and neck cancer patients really helps with your recovery time so hang in there. Your hair should grow back as normal so don't worry about that but I can understand that it is difficult to deal with. You are doing fantastic it's so hard. I hope this helps at least to make you feel you are not alone and everything you are experiencing is totally normal. Love yah xxxx

    My Cousin was diagnosed with Leukemia 3 months ago, he was fighting the Leukemia & while fighting Leukemia he got a infection while being in the hospital, which began to shut down his organs. He was sedated for weeks but never gave up & continued fighting Leukemia & his Infection. His heart had stopped and the doctors revived him, the doctors told us he had less than a week to live so we continued praying but as we kept our faith, we began preparing for his funeral. Slowly but surely he started feeling better and better each day they moved him from ICU to a regular cancer floor. Now he is our miracle ❤️ he was released from the hospital yesterday and is now home recovering. The doctors said somehow his organs are okay and they can't seem to find the cancer anymore.
    The moral of my story is never give up fighting even when things seem to be getting harder, just keep fighting harder! The power of prayer is amazing doesn't matter the religion or beliefs. I pray you beat cancer and have the strength you need for this difficult chapter in your life, you will get through this Miracles do happen ✨❤️

      You Can't Feel Radiation. I work with Radiation in a Cardiac Cath Lab. What you do feel, if it happens down the road, are the Latent Effects (skin burns, eats)

    I have a non cancerous brain tumor. I found out back in june 2014. had one bad migraine and it got to the point where I was screaming so I went to the hospital the Dr took a CAT scan and he said that the fluids in my brain was blocked and my brain was swollen. they out me in an ambulance and took me to a higher level hospital and they did surgery that day. it took 8-9 yrs long and they could only remove 50% meaning I would have to do chemo after. I did 4-5 cycles of chemotherapy and they had to stop the pill and IV chemo treatments because of all the weight I had lost. I was never hungry. and when I did eat I would always throw it up. the chemo stripped my body of nutrition and it was killing me. I to lost alot if my hair and I still have the scaring from surgery but I embrace it and show my battle scares. they currently found another spot near my brain stem. and they have no idea what it is but they are thinking it's another tumor. but it hasn't changed so they aren't classifying it as anything as of now. I still have the brain tumor I had in the beginning it is also still shrinking. I hope it gets better for u because I know your strong

People who either are in a similar situation or know someone with a similar situation, these videos would help them get through it all mentally.
    I would know to add: *i have a lot of respect for your mom.* I know your dad is going through his own thing, and your mom must have to be so strong to be there for both of you. What a wonderful woman. I wish you and your loved ones nothing but good health from now forward.

    1. Please do not take random medical advice from youtube. you have an oncologist and a surgeon to help you. Frankinsense oil does not cure cancer. 2 I am a cancer survivor (breast). I was completely bald and did IV chemo, and had surgery and the dreaded steroid from hell. I was not always compliant about taking it bc it made me CRAZY. 3. Cancer is a whirlwind. Let everyone who can love you through it. when you get to the other side...and you will...you will have time to process all you have been through. 4. Cancer is not without gifts. At least not for me. I lost a breast but got closer to G d. I stopped letting stupid things worry me. I stood outside in the rain bald to feel the water on my head. I found joy wherever i could. 5. When you are done and your energy slowly creeps back, your appetite returns, your hair starts coming in like down, it is like being reborn. It is a beautiful thing to watch and feel your own body heal. 6. You are strong. You are beautiful. You will win. xo
