Don't be sorry about not feeling yourself lovely. You're just living your life, doing your best. Even when you're feeling down, you're such a positive light to those around you. Just keep being you xxx
Love you sweet Tiffany. The most courageous girl I know. You tough me so much in the last few weeks, still catching up on old vlogs and you stole my heart. You brighten my life and I pray for you, Ama and your loved ones daily. 💖Wegotthis, always.
Eating isn't always the answer, gaining Weight should be done slowly, medically, otherwise her stomach will regurgitate or vomit it, she doesn't need Aspiration pneumonia.
NEVER apologize for how you feel and how you react…we all love you and don’t need any detail you aren’t willing to share…We just want to know you are ok and allow us to send our love, prayers and support to you and your family…We All love you and Pray the best for you🙏🏼❤️
Hi tiff, I’ve just paused the video at the point where you said you don’t know anything but can I just say you really do. Nobody knows your body better than you. I’m a nurse I’ve worked in an area within surgery for 6 years and I’m learning from you all the time. You’re giving me a better understanding of what it’s like for someone going through treatments and what my patients could be facing. You really are making such a difference to us all in many ways. I’m definitely a better nurse for it. You are such a brave and strong woman and you have the best family behind you. You have got this girl! x
When you wrote ‘ Nobody knows your body better than you ‘ shows to me that you actually LISTEN to your patients . You’re a great nurse ! Whoever you treat and tend to is very lucky ! ❤️ We have a nursing crises in the UK . In 2021 over 40,000 left the profession according to The Nursing Times . Also the FIRST TIME EVER in 106 years. nurses are going on a National strike on 15 December and 20 December. They’re striking because the government Ministers are refusing to have formal talks about their very low wages According to the Royal College of Nurses (RCN) nurses have had enough of being taken for granted, enough of low pay and unsafe staffing levels and enough of not being able to give the patients the care they deserve.
Tiffany you are reacting no different from how any of us would. You don’t need to explain, if this channel gives you a place to vent your frustration or express your grief and pain and helps you get through this mess any easier then it is serving you well. You owe us nothing we are here to support you. We got this.
What I love about you, is how selfless you are. You're going through something that's taxing (physically, emotionally, and mentally), but you're always trying to make sure everyone around you is okay. You're also very grateful and appreciate little moments of joy. If I had a daughter, I'd want her to be like you because you're such a ball of sunshine….even in your vulnerable moments.
Tiffany the morphine on a empty stomach and anxiety is what probably made you vomit so much. Please take care of yourself. I’m happy to hear you ate loads. Love y’all bunches 💙💖💖
Dear Tiffany, I've always felt that this is your outlet to your journey. We are the ones that are honoured to be allowed to be a part of it. So please don't ever apologise. I'm always blown away by your positivity, strength and courage. You do you! We are so lucky to have your channel, and be able to support you in the small way we can. Much love 💙💙💙
I really feel she's at the point it would be so beneficial for her if she were to start getting some therapy to help her sort through these feelings and emotions she's going through. She's becoming so overwhelmed with it all she's making herself sick and that's the last thing she needs. I realize it's a little late in the game as she's nearing this surgery but i have a feeling she may need more than Matt and her mom to get her through this next hurdle that she's facing. I know they love and support her the best they can but sometimes family can only do so much. Maybe one of her surgeons can hook her up with a professional so she has somebody lined up after her surgery. She's trying so hard to always be the strong one to protect her family but I can see it's really taking a toll on her.
I think we are her therapy and she has said it before that it helps her to talk out her feelings to us. Some people aren't comfortable in a more medical setting when it comes to that.
Oh my goodness, I have no idea in the world how I would have managed the various huge, sensitive surgeries, the anxiety, the personal stress, etc over the last many decades without my really good therapist. I love you so, so much sugar lump. Take care darling. You're sensational you know. I just want all of your needs met, for you to know a really good therapist to ring up, at a moments notice if needed. I was hesitant at first but for me, it was very much needed. Take care most wonderful girl in the whole world! 💖🎄✝️
A therapist would do wonders for Tiffany... And help her vent her feelings in a way that's not going to be a burden to the people that love her. It will benefit her and her loved ones.
Dear Tiffany. At the beginning of your video you say that this is not an Educational video. I am sorry but I beg to differ... To me and I bet many others think the same, your videos "ARE" Educational. 'This is what you Educate us in': 1-Courage 2-Strength 3-Giving 4-Attentive to other's needs 5-Acceptance 6-Never giving up 7-Faith 8-Resilience 9-Kindness 10-Wisdom *These are only a few... Too many to mention. Know that you are Loved and I pray🙏🏻 that your surgery goes as planned without incident. All this will be behind you in the years to come. Thank you for sharing and for all that you teach us. Xoxo
I can only imagine your anxiety level is extremely high, especially after learning surgery details. You’re so so brave. Ama and Matt are your safety. Thank god you have them. They need to work out a schedule to visit you post surgery so Ama does not burn out. Think of all of us as your prayer circle surrounding you in a cuddly cloud of healing energy. We got this! 💙💙💙💋
Your obligation to us isn't to keep us from being disappointed or to keep us entertained/happy. It's to be just who you are - and you are wonderful! Hopefully we can be a support for you. Keeping you in prayer as always 🙏 You got this 💙
Tiff , it’s very common to be vomiting when taking morphine…. It’s powerful and can upset your stomach. Try your best to stay calm, eat, and know we are all praying for you…. I’m 10 years cancer free, Trust your body and rest when it tells you. Let your loved ones support you. Matt is amazing and your Momma, well she is such a sweetheart.
Tiff I truly recommend that your mama and Matt “must” know everything concerning your operation because they are going to take care of you right? It’s important they understand everything like you. If something is happening like pain in your back, pelvis, throat, stomach, etc, they might understand how they can help you. So please understand “that”, please. Don’t protect them, you are the important one right now. Take care honey ❤❤❤
@@avarismimi Tiffany, please see a social worker or psychologist. You need help to process things quickly and they are your personal psychological help. They are also your professional aid, and a part of cancer teams. They will help to ask the questions you don't feel able to ask, and support you all the way.
@@edwright480 forget it. The hypocrites know it alls on this channel virtually ran the professionals like me off! I told her a long time ago to get a referral to psychooncology they not only will be "in the picture" at all times but seeing how Tiffany drives herself into a frenzy over 2 doctors appointments as well as many other red flags we saw a long time ago would make this she'd 2nd most important regular appointment she'd desperately needs. But she kept ignoring it and the hypocrites did the rest, hypocrites like the one who told her to not get ANY surgery at all but holistic nonsense! I am done here, you are right and be aware of the hyenas attacking!
@@deusvult2302 I believe we all deeply care for Tiffany but don’t understand why all the off comments or saying something in a roundabout way. It’s just odd some of these reactions. Maybe people just care & don’t know how to properly react in comments section. I believe Tiffany amazing & is trying to do the best she can. She’s fighting a crazy cancer. We got this 💙💙💙
Oh Tiffany, please don't EVER think you have to apologize to us about being down! You have every right to feel whatever you need to feel and we are here to support and love you throughout this whole process. Much love from Kenosha, Wisconsin!
Family therapy would be excellent for all of you! That way everyone can know what to expect & how to help you after your surgery darling! You said you were feeling angry & you didn’t know why, remember? You need to deal with that because it’s normal to feel angry & that’s why we have professional people to help us navigate through everything. I’m sure that all of your family members are scared, worried & possibly angry too so it would be so beneficial to see a family therapist ! Love you always, we got this 💙
I think that your body was trying to agree with your deep mind about not wanting to be in this situation, to not have to hear and face the trauma of getting the details from every physician. If you suppress your feelings about all of this, it will come out through your body, subconsciously. People think of mind and body as separate, but really how we handle one immediately influences the other as they are in reality inseparable. Listen to your body! RM can no doubt provide high quality therapists to give you support during all of this, and you do not have to worry about protecting the feelings of a therapist. Please consider? Seeking therapy could end up being a literal life saver for you. Much much ❤ and prayers.
Tiffiney I walked with my sister through cancer ,and I wished she expressed herself to others like you do .I love how human you are being and that so important ,Cancer is just a word ,it's what you do with that word to take away it's power then we as family ,friends won't be frightened and talk openly .New Irish viewer .You got this ,wonderful support ,mom love of your life and sister ,and the human that loves you ,good and bad Matt .☘️💚🎄🙏🇮🇪
Human, raw, transparent, real, kind, respectful, well mannered, down to earth, equalizes self AND others. Hopefully will ignore some messages, respect her own boundaries w/no apologies.
We love you, Tiffany! Taking morphine on an empty stomach can make you nauseous. If you take it, it is probably a good idea to eat something light prior to taking the drug, followed by the anti nausea medication. Today was a very hard day. Please rest and feel better. You have Matt and your mother. Don’t be afraid to lean on them. They love you very much. You got this Tiffany!💕
I agree eat something and take the anti-nausea meds about 30 minutes before you take the pain meds. That always helped me. Prayers for you and your family. You have a great support that love you very much.
No need to apologize! You’re allowed to feel your feelings. Morphine is a pretty strong drug to take on an empty stomach, especially when you’re anxious too. Hugs and continued prayers!
You don't need to apologize to any of us. When we are dealing with these real challenging health issues we have ups and downs and we have times that are very hard to process all the information that comes to us. I think you are doing a very good job navigating the medical world. I worked in it just shy of 50 yrs and it can be very confusing to those that don't have experience in the world of medicine. Don't ever be hesitant to ask your providers questions. You are the most important person and you need to be first in taking care of yourself. Please ignore/delete any negative, trolling comments. We are hear to support you on the journey. I have 2 terminal diseases that I am dealing with but I have the advantage of working in the med field for so long I understand how this works. You are doing a great job with all that you are dealing with and I am so happy to see all the support that is around you.
Tiffany, brave girl, to the surgeons and specialists, your physical health is their priority and area of focus. It surprises me that your care team doesn't include a psychology/social work component which is equally a priority. Whilst your Mum and Matt are wonderful to have beside you, all your lives are going to change and there'll be times that, along with you they may feel fearful, helpless & exhausted. Their well being is important and I know from my own cancer journey that carers need care too and they'll often neglect themselves. For all of you, some external support is really important. Someone to vent to, to answer questions, to put allied health support in place and someone to advocate for you all. Even in these appointments you or Matt may not be taking it all in & that's understandable. It's ok to reach out for help but sincerely at such a time, the care team should be ensuring they put this in place. Love & Prayers xx
Tiffany mentioned some months ago that she had been offered a referral to the psychological support services at the Marsden. Many people here have also suggested to her that she could also avail herself of the facilities of the excellent Maggie's Centre which is in the grounds of the Royal Marsden in Sutton. They offer a range of psychological and support services and it sounds like a really lovely space to be with beautiful gardens that she and Amma or Matt could also just go and have some quiet time to reflect or have a cup of tea or a chat or join in with any of the groups or activities..
Sweet Tiffany 💙 I want to wrap my arms around you & hug you. I remember when a neighbor’s son fell off his bike and hit his head. It was a particular spot that he had to relearn how to talk, walk eat, repeat 2 school grades and learn to relate to people- he changed into someone else. It was devastating. From what I understand you will be experiencing changes in bodily functions after surgery but you will heal and recover and adapt to those changes. What is a big positive is your essence of Tiffany will stay intact. Your personality, brain function, talking, walking, all limbs working… etc. etc. etc.-these are huge. Also being so young the body heals faster and better. You Got This-We Got This 💙
As a someone with stage 4 colon cancer, I understand your fears and burnout. It is a lot to go from your everyday life to being a professional patient. I had my cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC nine months ago having previously met with the primary surgeon. I only found out the size of the team involved and of course the number of organs they removed a couple of days post surgery (although I had been warned ahead of the possible extent of things). It sounds as though meeting with all participants ahead of time is exhausting and ratchets up worry. Here in Canada they streamlined things. I had faith in the primary surgeon and by extension all others involved in my 8 hour procedure. Your feelings are absolutely valid. This surgery is the Big Event you've been working towards. I will be thinking nothing but the best for you as this next part of your journey begins.
Your comment is very supportive. My personal experience was to talk with people who had solar experiences. Eventually you gain more strength and can move forward.
I would think it was the medication making you sick along with just being anxious. Be sure to eat after you take meds so that it's not just sitting in your stomach, you need something to absorb it. WE GOT THIS, positive thinking is the best medication, and you have the best support team!! XO
You NEVER have to apologize to us for ANYTHING. You are sharing your life and it's totally up to you what you share. Girl, you are facing more than most of us can imagine. I'm an RN, and I do have a good idea about the surgery you're facing, and I don't know how you're smiling at all. You be sad when you feel sad, cry if you need to cry, don't put on a happy face for us. You are amazing.
Anxiety is a massive thing when you going through appointments that are life changing, You are so brave and so are Matt and your mum. You don’t need to share anything that makes you uncomfortable, it’s a personal journey and you need to come to terms with things in your own time. Your doing fantastic job documenting your diagnosis and life. Just save your strength for what’s in front of you, one day at time. Your surgery and recovery won’t be far away.
Sounds like you're preparing for a pelvic exenteration. This is a huge and uncommon surgery but if it's your best chance for cure, you take it. And I'm glad you're opting to do it. I really appreciate your being so vulnerable in such a public way. You've got a long year ahead of you but you can do this. You're young and you have many years to live. I wonder if there's a support group available to you for this kind of surgery. My surgeon connected me with one of his patients because we were both young and dealing with an advanced cancer. And we supported each other throughout our treatment. Perhaps, your hospital could connect you with someone who's been through what you're about to? I've been a cancer patient for 8 years; treated and monitored for 3 separate incidents with various combinations of scans, bloodwork, biopsies, surgery, chemo, radiation and waiting. A lot of waiting. While I understand cancer more than I'd like to admit, I cannot imagine what you're going through. Remaining vigilant and advocating for your health is incredibly important no matter how well-meaning or experienced your doctors may be. You have a great support team and that's a huge part of surviving and thriving. Stay as brave as you are and I look forward to viewing your updates as often as you upload them. Don't worry about keeping up with that though. Your life comes first.
Tiffany, I feel so bad for you! Try eating something like toast before you take your morphine. Then take your anti-sickness medicine right after that. My daughter is a nurse and that’s her advice.💙
Wondering if it’s the morphine and you need to take anti-sickness meds at the same time? You’re bound to feel anxious. I’m not sure how any of us would be coping in the same situation. Remember about the energy in spoons too. Listen to your body. Sending huge huge love to you, Matt and Amma. We got this! 💙💙💙💞💞💞
Hi Tiffany, I sometimes need to take strong painkillers and it causes nausea and vomiting, especially on an empty stomach. You’re such a kind person, considering your loved ones above yourself. I hope u get that surgery very soon. Linda
Hey Tiffany! I’m from Perú, and i’m following your UA-cam channel for nearly two years now. My own grandfather had cancer when i subscribed, so i could relate to your fears, your pain and your journey. Unfortunately, he passed away on October. You two had something in common: your amazing strength and faith. I miss him every single day, and every time i think of him, i remeber you and pray for you, i hope with all my heart that your surgery goes well. I send you a big big hug and LOTS of love.
Hi Tiffany, the reason for your sickness is more likely to be the morphine medication rather than a bug. My husband had the same problem when he took it. Shame you missed your appointment but hopefully they will fit you in ASAP. You are stronger than you know and WE GOT THIS 💙
Oh Tiffany you never have to apologize for your feelings, we are here for support, and love you and want nothing but the best for you, that’s why we watch. As a RN who worked in surgery for years, I know exactly what they will be doing, all of it, I think many think they are just going to do surgery and “ remove” the cancer, if only it were that easy. This surgery is life changing, be gentle on yourself. You got this, like I’ve said before, more importantly GOD has you!
Oh, Tiffany, you never have to apologize for any of you vlogs. We love, are doing our best to understand just how difficult what you're having to deal with is and know you can't be "happy go lucky" all the time. Feeling are not good or bad, they just are.
Tiffany: suggestion regarding pain medication. Ask your physician/s to give you anti - nausea medication when taking pain medication. Prior to surgery, I had nurses chart this. Since I do not tolerate pain meds, it made a huge difference. Wishing you a swift recovery after surgery and good health.
Omgosh! Please don’t ever feel the need to apologize for ANYTHING! You are such an inspiration and strong girl . I pray for you everyday and I know with God all your future dreams will come true and I’m so excited for those vlogs when your married to Mat and you have your beautiful babies around you. We all love and support you no matter what!! WE GOT THIS Tiffany! 🙏♥️🎄
Tiffany you probably don’t realise how many people you are helping with your vlogs and sharing your cancer journey. I’ve been watching your channel for just over 7 months now and never thought I’d be taking a similar journey as my husband battles prostate cancer. He has just had his second dose of chemo and it was a shock to watch him go through the chemo side effects during his first dose. You’ve made me realise that we have to take the good days with the bad and so much of what you have said resonates with me, Particularly with reference of trying to protect your mum and Mat. My husband is trying to protect me but I’m with him all the way and need to know how he’s feeling. My heart goes out to you and your family . Just keep doing what makes you feel happy and know that in doing so, you are helping others with their own emotions . Xx
Your words are so comforting but also unfortunate, I'm so sorry that you too are on your own journey with your husband dealing with postage cancer. I truly hope your husband will beat this unwelcoming invader into your lives, so you both can have a wonderful life to share forever. It is good to protect those who we love but sometimes, we need to share that protection because we are also very vulnerable, in these circumstances. God bless you both
this will all soon be over Tiffany and you will be better and you can look back at your thoughts and feeling and see how brave you've been sending love and best wishes to you and your lovely family xxx
Darling girl, You are who I think of last thing at night and first thing in the morning as I ask God to watch over you (and my own daughter). Never apologise for being who you are and for what you give to your viewers. Your generosity is astounding.
Darling girl, I think one of the things that draws us to you is how authentic you are. And, we don’t need to know all the mechanics of what’s going to happen to love and support you. 😘 Whatever you share will be enough. 😘
You say this isn’t a teaching channel, but you’re so wrong. You are teaching by example how to love others and advocate for your own health and how to get through this enormously difficult challenge with grace. You may not know the science of cancer, but you are such a light and your gift is in letting all of us share in your journey. Thank you for all you give us, and keep taking good care of yourself. Allow everyone take care of you as much as you can let them. Your loved ones have very little power in this impossible situation, and spoiling you is one way they can show you their love. ❤
Something we all need to be mindful of (myself included)…is that while we think of and pray for Tiffany often, this is basically a twenty minute period of time for us out of our regular schedules. This is happening to dear, sweet Tiffany 24 hours a day. The pain, the emotions, the loss of sleep, the fear, the financial aspects, the family dynamics and how it also impacts her mother, Matt and even her sister. So, let’s all just be loving, kind and supportive. Nothing matters more than Tiffany taking care of herself. What she does or doesn’t share and when she does or doesn’t share…is her personal choice and journey. Just remember…it’s easy to make suggestions or judge from “the cheap seats.” No one else on earth is walking her exact journey. Be patient, be kind, be loving and encouraging. 💙💙💙
What a fantastic response for Tiffany, who is so incredibly brave to face all this stress with such grace. I continue to pray for the best results from the surgery. You are so strong dear Tiffany. I admire you so much. And God bless Matt and Amma for their deep love for you.
Agreed, it's difficult enough to explain to family while sorting out our emotions. Tiffany is much stronger than I was but using this vlog as a timeline is probably helping her track.
Tiffany, you don't ever have to apologize for anything.... !!! You are just real. I have cancer too, and I can't go through this, and be as open, friendly, and personable as you, publicly. Probably most people can't. You're always a great person, and we can't be ok all the time, and don't have to be, understandably. I sure care about you..., we all do...! You are a very nice, accomplished person, even with everything you have been through. I'm glad you have Matt and your great family. We all always wish the very best for you !!!
We would worry even more about you if you were constantly upbeat. Of course you are going to have a full range of emotions. Don’t apologise! How blessed are you with Matt and your Mum?! They are the best support. Sending love and hugs,xxx
Tiffany, please know that we all understand that you are going through so much. We all love you and will be here for you no matter if you are sad or happy. Luv you!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
You don’t need to share anything, what you are going through is massive, it’s a big thing for you just to be able to even speak about it. Always in our prayers. Sending positive vibes. 💙💙💙
Anxiety can cause so many issues including sickness. Your going through a massive ordeal Tiffany. Give yourself some grace and know that your allowed to be scared, clingy, nervous, worried, panicky. All those emotions are part of what makes you human. Praying daily for you and your family.
You are fine sharing whatever you wish………how can the thousands of us say it any clearer! Your journey has inspired me to live harder-to be present in every moment….you are educating us on “how to handle”. Your ability to cheer us up is astounding……….a real hero to many you are…..hugs
WHAT????Tiffany we are here because we care about you and your very challenging journey. We love you and your family. Don't change a thing about yourself or your channel. You don't have to explain anything or apologize for anything. We are blessed to have you in our lives. You give so much of yourself in your post. You help so many people. I used to ask myself if how I felt and how I was processing things. You helped me realize that however I am feeling or however I am processing is ok,even though every little detail isn't the same as you. You have helped me realize that I can decide how I go along on my journey just like you can. Being positive and living life is the gift you have given me!
Don't apologize my dear Tiffany. This surgery is life changing with no guarantees. We love you and I pray for your family and you and a healthy recovery
Tiffany. Your not protecting them. The already know how dangerous this is. So allow Matt and amma to be as much there as they can. So they can't say they have regrets
Your fears are rational because you have cancer. But notice how cancer is everywhere. We have to accept that any one of us at any time could get cancer. Some people have cancer for many years then pass away from old age. All we can do is monitor our cancer, get it treated, and hope for the best. May God bless and keep you.
I'm so sorry you not feeling well, maybe it's just the stress of everything that you are going through at the moment , you have had a lot to cope with. Feel better soon and build yourself up for the surgery as you need to be strong. Praying for you everyday xx WE GOT THIS 💙💙💙
Please never apologise Tiffany. You being you is enough. If this channel is helping you this is great. We love you and surround you with support. Sending you much love. xx
Yes, you are right about getting the surgery soon. The stress is tremendous for you, Tiff, and I pray you will have God’s peace and comfort. Thank God for your Amma and Matt. Praying for all of you. Hugs for Amma. 🥰 Love from Mississauga ❤️🇨🇦
I understand 100% about not wanting to share certain things, and it’s your right to do so. For me, with endometrial cancer, I shared most things, but for some reason, (I don’t really understand it myself) my egg freezing process was private for me. I just wanted to keep that private. When certain people found out, I felt exposed, it’s hard to explain why. So I completely understand.
Tiffany, Be You! which at the moment is you being sad/preoccupied/whatever. As someone subscribed to your channel I see a lovely young woman being challenged by an ugly, extraordinary event. I am here to support you by listening and sometimes providing kind words (like today). You Got This. You are doing all the right things which includes you taking care of you including the emotion-related things.
Please stop apologizing. You are so worried about everyone and their feelings but Tiffany this is about you and we all are here for you! We’ve got this!!! 💙💙💙💙
Tiffany the stress along with morphine on an empty tummy can make you vomit. Try to go easy on yourself. I love dear Matt telling you that you must eat before cuddling. He’s such a blessing. Love to you all. ❤
I think the fact that he is telling her to eat even when she is sick is very telling, his tone would indicate to me that eating is a bit of a problem for her, even when she is well enough, after all, he spends way more time with her than we see on these videos, and, according to Tiff herself, the Drs have said she needs to put on weight to be strong enough to withstand the surgery she needs, so, hopefully she does manage to eat more,
My dear Tiffany, I can only speak for myself but I understand. And I suspect 99% of us do. We love you and are committed to you, Matt and and your dear mum. You are a beautiful family and I am honored to follow you through the bad times to your arrival at good health and healing. You got this girl. And you have thousands of us you have your back!
I was thinking at first when you didn't want Matt with the doctors appointment that you might not remember anything the doctor says. Often you are kind of in shock and then everything the doctor said is lost, it is usually better to have someone with you! Good thing you changed your mind. I am sure you being sick was anxiety and being overwhelmed with news, that now it is closer to happening. Two appointments in one day probably too much. As a nurse I have seen this play out many times! Big hugs that you can decrease your anxiety and feel better! We got this 💙
Hi Tiffany, Notes and an advocate or two are wonderful to have to process information and formulate questions at appointments; in addition, I suggest using a voice recording app. loaded on to your cell phone to capture the entire appointment conversation. Replay the conversations when you feel well enough. Being on pain medication or even stress itself can make it difficult to remember everything that the doctor, nurses, and upcoming specialists are going to teach you. Don't hesitate to videotape for yourself the instructions specialists will demonstrate and teach you.
Don’t apologize sweet girl. Let us be here for you right now. You need all the support you can get right now. Allow yourself to be in a position of receiving not giving
Oh yeah I 100% agree with your Amma, DEFINITELY anxiety or fear. And it's completely understandable. It'll be okay, just keep pressing onward. And it's good to take a break every now and then as well.
I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You're going through such a tough time, nobody would expect you to be positive and bubbly all the time. I also don't think anyone expects you to educate them on this cancer and your treatment but it would just be great if you could do just one video dedicated to to this whole journey. You had earlier videos and it seemed like you were having stomach troubles. Could this be related? You have built up quite a following since your diagnosis and by sharing all your symptoms, even from way back that may not be related, but somebody could watch your video and it could literally save their life.
Amma and Matt are both fully grown people who can handle any and all of this. Did they ask you to protect them? I’m not, that is the last thing you should worry about. How can they support you if you are keeping things for them. You are so sweet for caring more about them than you do yourself. You are so selfless, but it is time to require yourself first when it comes to the surgery. 💙 I love how no matter how long the drive Matt is fully stocked with snacks and his famous sandwiches! 😂
You have ever right sweet Tiffany for you to be up and down with your emotions. I work on a cancer floor everyday and I see many patients going through emotions and it is your followers to love you and support you through this. It is our job to love and support you and to encourage you. Prayers continuing for you and your family. Much love too you!!
Oh, dear Tiffany, you are going through so much!! Please don't worry about us; those of us who care about you will keep watching and praying for you! So grateful you have the loving support of Matt and your wonderful Amma!
I hope you’re feeling better since this video! Just a note, don’t forget to look after your mental health. I noticed you’ve mentioned things like this can worry you and it’s so important to make sure you do your best to address the anxiety it can bring on, as well as looking after your psychical health! I hope this isn’t too intrusive, wishing you and your family all the best!
Anxiety was definitely cause nausea. I have that problem my self. Keep some salted crackers with you and maybe ginger ale. Those help me when this happens. Love to you. I'm so glad you have Matt and Amma to support you.
I thought my last comment was asking a question so thought I'd comment directly and remind you Tiffany we're all here for you, whatever you choose to share or not we appreciate every single ounce of content you release! Seriously I think you're a comfort for half of us I know myself on the days you upload I look forward to and get excited about knowing you'll have a video at 6pm and honestly I'd still sit and watch if it was just a video of you watching paint dry 😂 never think your content isn't educational I can guarantee you now you're helping more people than you know who have just been diagnosed and have went to UA-cam for guidance. Okay I'm probably babbling now but I just want you to know what a precious soul you are and we're here for you every step of the way, through the sad and happy times and whatever you're feeling or if you seem "too sad" we understand, I think most of us would be crying every single video if we were in your situation you're so strong and we love you 💙💙💙
Tiffany looks incredibly weak and pale in this video. Not to mention the extreme anxiety that is hitting HARD. She is so sleepy and tired most of the time as she says. No walks, no outdoor runs, no exercising... I can't imagine how she is going to tackle the stress that lies ahead of her. How is she going to gain muscles? She is going to be in bed post-surgery for a long time and the body is going to lose more weight! 14 months from being diagnosed with Cancer. No surgery. Last 4-5 months no treatments either (barring the Biopsies & scans). I shudder to think what her body has endured inside. I seriously want her to get better, to get well. Please eat good food, get strong Tiff. This ain't no Sorcery, it's a tough ride ahead.
Dr said 6 weeks waiting time but has it been 12 weeks since then already ? Time flies. I hope it doesn’t get delayed more. I also hope she would recover as fast as possible. It’s obvious she is hiding her fear because she doesn’t want Amma to hear. I understand her. Amma is a soft and sweet soul. So lovable and she is extremely supportive of her. How lucky she is really. ❤
You are going through a very traumatic time. We understand. I only had to deal with breast cancer this year. It messed with my head at first, but I read everything I could find about it. I had drastic surgery and even now I feel like I am always going to be a different person. One can talk to others who have the same condition but my cancer is mine. In the U.S., most cancer surgeons have nurse navigators who are available almost 24/7. Mine told me no question or concern is trivial. Do your healthcare providers write down the procedures they plan? Ask them everything. For me, I don't like surprises. I want to know so I can think things through and calm down the crazy things running in my head. You can do this. You are stronger than you realize.
Tiffany, you don't need to apologize. You are going through a lot. Please be sure you have a full understanding of what the doctors are telling you before any major surgery. Ask lots of questions if you need to. We all know you got this!!! Prayers and blessings your way.
Having zero knowledge about cancer when you have been diagnosed for over an year is quite alarming! You are facing a major surgery, you need to educate yourself to prevent further shocks down the line.. I know you can do this 💪 because you are so strong !! Wish you well..
You must be kidding. How can she educate herself when trained professionals have been making decisions that haven't turned out to be helpful. Tiffany is focused and continues to see the light. She's doing great.
How much knowledge does she need? She just need to be brave, and strong, she hasn’t studied for 8+ years or specialised in oncology!! Some people google things to the core, and other prefer to switch off.. when you’re diagnosed NOTHING goes in. I was in the medical profession for 27 years. When my son was unwell I was a wreck, I wasn’t my child’s care provider I was his mother
Tiffany dear! I think most of us are here because we hope we can support YOU in our own little ways. You have taught me so much! not necessarily about cancer, but about attitude and faith. You are such a lovely girl. Hugs from Tennessee USA.
So much for you to process! No apologies needed! Being true to your feelings is the most important thing you can do. This surgery is a major life event for you and your family. Working on your videos while feeling unwell and dealing with the stress of the impending surgery just shows us all how strong and amazing you are!
I just watched a video of Ukrainians fighting with undeniable bravery and determination, despite their suffering, to save their devastated land and reclaim their lives from brutal invaders. And then I see you doing exactly the same. Glory to you Tiffany… stay strong and keep fighting. You are a role model for us all.
Hello sweet girl ❤️ When u feel sad 😭 it really break my heart 💔 Ur guardian of angel is watching over u 🙏 N all the best 🙏 Oh. By the way. . Let me. introduce. myself . Am a mum of 3 adults. Kids n a grandgirl 💞 live in Highbury north London C'mon england goalllll :)) 👋
Dear Tiffany, you are so entitled to all your feelings, so happy you are sandwiched between Matt and Amma on the sofa. They love you so much and that’s exactly where you should be. We are just the background noise - but know you’re in my thoughts and prayers every day!! So I’m off to find a nice card and send it with love from Aussie 🐨💙🙏🏽xx 😘
It's clear to me that morphine on an empty stomach is bound to make you sick , as well as your anxiety about everything that is happening to you. Thinking of you, always.
Hi my loving tiffanythinks family. Please don’t feel like you have to send anything but sooo many of you are confused about the PO Box Address so I thought I will write it again here:
Tiffany Thinks
PO Box 3244
Croydon

(United Kingdom) I love you a lot a lot my tiffanythinks family. we got this💙 IG, FB & TikTok: @tiffanythinks. Subscribe💙
Don't be sorry about not feeling yourself lovely. You're just living your life, doing your best. Even when you're feeling down, you're such a positive light to those around you. Just keep being you xxx
I am praying for your speedy recovery Tiffany. Love you ❤️
We 💙you!!
Royal Mail has added 5 new postal workers to keep up with Tiffanythinks mail. 😃
Love you sweet Tiffany. The most courageous girl I know. You tough me so much in the last few weeks, still catching up on old vlogs and you stole my heart. You brighten my life and I pray for you, Ama and your loved ones daily. 💖Wegotthis, always.
Hearing Matt demand basically that you eat just shows how much he loves you! What a special kind of love he has for you ❤️
I believe that Matt was sent to be in Tiffany's life...he is just a wonderful young man..
And in a very calm way
Eating isn't always the answer, gaining Weight should be done slowly, medically, otherwise her stomach will regurgitate or vomit it, she doesn't need Aspiration pneumonia.
Eating Isn't always the Cure or Antidote. Her Drs Know this!
He’s a keeper
NEVER apologize for how you feel and how you react…we all love you and don’t need any detail you aren’t willing to share…We just want to know you are ok and allow us to send our love, prayers and support to you and your family…We All love you and Pray the best for you🙏🏼❤️

Preach 👐
Exactly what I wanted to say. If is hard for us to hear everything you have to go through, it must be very difficult for you. You’ve got it Tiffany!
I agree!❤
I’m so glad you have Matt he helps you so much he’s a lovely boy❤
Hi tiff, I’ve just paused the video at the point where you said you don’t know anything but can I just say you really do. Nobody knows your body better than you. I’m a nurse I’ve worked in an area within surgery for 6 years and I’m learning from you all the time. You’re giving me a better understanding of what it’s like for someone going through treatments and what my patients could be facing. You really are making such a difference to us all in many ways. I’m definitely a better nurse for it. You are such a brave and strong woman and you have the best family behind you. You have got this girl! x
When you wrote ‘ Nobody knows your body better than you ‘ shows to me that you actually LISTEN to your patients . You’re a great nurse ! Whoever you treat and tend to is very lucky ! ❤️
We have a nursing crises in the UK . In 2021 over 40,000 left the profession according to The Nursing Times . Also the FIRST TIME EVER in 106 years. nurses are going on a National strike on 15 December and 20 December.
They’re striking because the government Ministers are refusing to have formal talks about their very low wages
According to the Royal College of Nurses (RCN) nurses have had enough of being taken for granted, enough of low pay and unsafe staffing levels and enough of not being able to give the patients the care they deserve.
Tiffany you are reacting no different from how any of us would. You don’t need to explain, if this channel gives you a place to vent your frustration or express your grief and pain and helps you get through this mess any easier then it is serving you well. You owe us nothing we are here to support you. We got this.
What I love about you, is how selfless you are. You're going through something that's taxing (physically, emotionally, and mentally), but you're always trying to make sure everyone around you is okay. You're also very grateful and appreciate little moments of joy. If I had a daughter, I'd want her to be like you because you're such a ball of sunshine….even in your vulnerable moments.
Beautiful comment xx
@@margiemckenna8200 Totally agree. x
I agree
Tiffany the morphine on a empty stomach and anxiety is what probably made you vomit so much. Please take care of yourself. I’m happy to hear you ate loads.
Love y’all bunches 💙💖💖
Dear Tiffany, I've always felt that this is your outlet to your journey. We are the ones that are honoured to be allowed to be a part of it. So please don't ever apologise. I'm always blown away by your positivity, strength and courage. You do you! We are so lucky to have your channel, and be able to support you in the small way we can. Much love 💙💙💙
You don’t have to apologize Tiffany. Focus on yourself right now. You got this. 💙
This. Absolutely correct. We love you, and are here for you.
I really feel she's at the point it would be so beneficial for her if she were to start getting some therapy to help her sort through these feelings and emotions she's going through. She's becoming so overwhelmed with it all she's making herself sick and that's the last thing she needs. I realize it's a little late in the game as she's nearing this surgery but i have a feeling she may need more than Matt and her mom to get her through this next hurdle that she's facing. I know they love and support her the best they can but sometimes family can only do so much. Maybe one of her surgeons can hook her up with a professional so she has somebody lined up after her surgery. She's trying so hard to always be the strong one to protect her family but I can see it's really taking a toll on her.
I think we are her therapy and she has said it before that it helps her to talk out her feelings to us. Some people aren't comfortable in a more medical setting when it comes to that.
But I do agree with you that she seems to be wearing herself thin worrying about others
Oh my goodness, I have no idea in the world how I would have managed the various huge, sensitive surgeries, the anxiety, the personal stress, etc over the last many decades without my really good therapist. I love you so, so much sugar lump. Take care darling. You're sensational you know. I just want all of your needs met, for you to know a really good therapist to ring up, at a moments notice if needed.
I was hesitant at first but for me, it was very much needed.
Take care most wonderful girl in the whole world! 💖🎄✝️
It’s so hard to get therapy - even as a cancer patient.
A therapist would do wonders for Tiffany... And help her vent her feelings in a way that's not going to be a burden to the people that love her. It will benefit her and her loved ones.
Dear Tiffany.
At the beginning of your video you say that this is not an Educational video. I am sorry but I beg to differ... To me and I bet many others think the same, your videos "ARE" Educational.
'This is what you Educate us in':
1-Courage
2-Strength
3-Giving
4-Attentive to other's needs
5-Acceptance
6-Never giving up
7-Faith
8-Resilience
9-Kindness
10-Wisdom
*These are only a few... Too many to mention. Know that you are Loved and I pray🙏🏻 that your surgery goes as planned without incident. All this will be behind you in the years to come. Thank you for sharing and for all that you teach us.
Xoxo
I can only imagine your anxiety level is extremely high, especially after learning surgery details. You’re so so brave. Ama and Matt are your safety. Thank god you have them. They need to work out a schedule to visit you post surgery so Ama does not burn out. Think of all of us as your prayer circle surrounding you in a cuddly cloud of healing energy. We got this! 💙💙💙💋
Your obligation to us isn't to keep us from being disappointed or to keep us entertained/happy. It's to be just who you are - and you are wonderful! Hopefully we can be a support for you.
Keeping you in prayer as always 🙏
You got this 💙
And actually she doesn’t have an obligation to a bunch of strangers online at all
Exactly!
100% don't worry
This is what i tried to say. U said it better.
@@Lucia-yc9zj It’s a strange old place this online world, isn’t it? I’m quite new to it and don’t really get it🤔
Tiff , it’s very common to be vomiting when taking morphine…. It’s powerful and can upset your stomach. Try your best to stay calm, eat, and know we are all praying for you…. I’m 10 years cancer free, Trust your body and rest when it tells you. Let your loved ones support you. Matt is amazing and your Momma, well she is such a sweetheart.
Tiff I truly recommend that your mama and Matt “must” know everything concerning your operation because they are going to take care of you right? It’s important they understand everything like you. If something is happening like pain in your back, pelvis, throat, stomach, etc, they might understand how they can help you. So please understand “that”, please. Don’t protect them, you are the important one right now. Take care honey ❤❤❤
@@avarismimi Tiffany, please see a social worker or psychologist. You need help to process things quickly and they are your personal psychological help. They are also your professional aid, and a part of cancer teams. They will help to ask the questions you don't feel able to ask, and support you all the way.
At the end of the day "withholding" important information, pain, fear, anxiety, vomiting, is unhealthy for everyone! Everyone will feel "gas lighted".
I truly recommend that this is none of your business!
@@edwright480 forget it. The hypocrites know it alls on this channel virtually ran the professionals like me off! I told her a long time ago to get a referral to psychooncology they not only will be "in the picture" at all times but seeing how Tiffany drives herself into a frenzy over 2 doctors appointments as well as many other red flags we saw a long time ago would make this she'd 2nd most important regular appointment she'd desperately needs. But she kept ignoring it and the hypocrites did the rest, hypocrites like the one who told her to not get ANY surgery at all but holistic nonsense! I am done here, you are right and be aware of the hyenas attacking!
@@deusvult2302 I believe we all deeply care for Tiffany but don’t understand why all the off comments or saying something in a roundabout way. It’s just odd some of these reactions. Maybe people just care & don’t know how to properly react in comments section. I believe Tiffany amazing & is trying to do the best she can. She’s fighting a crazy cancer. We got this 💙💙💙
So loved Matt being stern with you about eating! He loves you, so much, and it shows.
Tiffany , we support you all the way , you don’t need to apologise for anything at any stage . We got this ❤️
Aaaaawwww the love I see!!! Amazing! Bless you sweetie
Well said exactly xxx
Oh Tiffany, please don't EVER think you have to apologize to us about being down! You have every right to feel whatever you need to feel and we are here to support and love you throughout this whole process. Much love from Kenosha, Wisconsin!
Family therapy would be excellent for all of you! That way everyone can know what to expect & how to help you after your surgery darling! You said you were feeling angry & you didn’t know why, remember? You need to deal with that because it’s normal to feel angry & that’s why we have professional people to help us navigate through everything. I’m sure that all of your family members are scared, worried & possibly angry too so it would be so beneficial to see a family therapist ! Love you always, we got this 💙
I think that your body was trying to agree with your deep mind about not wanting to be in this situation, to not have to hear and face the trauma of getting the details from every physician. If you suppress your feelings about all of this, it will come out through your body, subconsciously. People think of mind and body as separate, but really how we handle one immediately influences the other as they are in reality inseparable. Listen to your body! RM can no doubt provide high quality therapists to give you support during all of this, and you do not have to worry about protecting the feelings of a therapist. Please consider? Seeking therapy could end up being a literal life saver for you. Much much ❤ and prayers.
Tiffiney I walked with my sister through cancer ,and I wished she expressed herself to others like you do .I love how human you are being and that so important ,Cancer is just a word ,it's what you do with that word to take away it's power then we as family ,friends won't be frightened and talk openly .New Irish viewer .You got this ,wonderful support ,mom love of your life and sister ,and the human that loves you ,good and bad Matt .☘️💚🎄🙏🇮🇪
Human, raw, transparent, real, kind, respectful, well mannered, down to earth, equalizes self AND others. Hopefully will ignore some messages, respect her own boundaries w/no apologies.
Tiffany we are all with you.
Love to mom and mat
I didn't have a support that you do you can do this!!
We love you, Tiffany! Taking morphine on an empty stomach can make you nauseous. If you take it, it is probably a good idea to eat something light prior to taking the drug, followed by the anti nausea medication. Today was a very hard day. Please rest and feel better. You have Matt and your mother. Don’t be afraid to lean on them. They love you very much. You got this Tiffany!💕
exactly, and drinking coffee probably made it worse. We keep praying for you Tiffany.
I agree eat something and take the anti-nausea meds about 30 minutes before you take the pain meds. That always helped me. Prayers for you and your family. You have a great support that love you very much.
Yes I thought the same thing. It was prob the morphine and she didn’t eat
morphine does it to me every time. I would bet anything this was the reason. :(
Hypocrites
No need to apologize! You’re allowed to feel your feelings. Morphine is a pretty strong drug to take on an empty stomach, especially when you’re anxious too. Hugs and continued prayers!
Please don’t ever apologize for any of this. You’re going through so much with the upcoming surgery. We support you 100% through your journey.
You don't need to apologize to any of us. When we are dealing with these real challenging health issues we have ups and downs and we have times that are very hard to process all the information that comes to us. I think you are doing a very good job navigating the medical world. I worked in it just shy of 50 yrs and it can be very confusing to those that don't have experience in the world of medicine. Don't ever be hesitant to ask your providers questions. You are the most important person and you need to be first in taking care of yourself. Please ignore/delete any negative, trolling comments. We are hear to support you on the journey. I have 2 terminal diseases that I am dealing with but I have the advantage of working in the med field for so long I understand how this works. You are doing a great job with all that you are dealing with and I am so happy to see all the support that is around you.
Tiffany, please listen to these doctors! If they are concerned then do WHATEVER it takes to go to these appointments! We've got this💙💙💙
Tiffany your feelings are personal and only share what you choose. We’re here for you with our prayers.
Stomach pains, drowsiness and nausea/vomiting are rather common side effects of morphine. Especially if taken on an empty stomach. Wishing you well 💕
Tiffany, brave girl, to the surgeons and specialists, your physical health is their priority and area of focus. It surprises me that your care team doesn't include a psychology/social work component which is equally a priority. Whilst your Mum and Matt are wonderful to have beside you, all your lives are going to change and there'll be times that, along with you they may feel fearful, helpless & exhausted. Their well being is important and I know from my own cancer journey that carers need care too and they'll often neglect themselves. For all of you, some external support is really important. Someone to vent to, to answer questions, to put allied health support in place and someone to advocate for you all. Even in these appointments you or Matt may not be taking it all in & that's understandable. It's ok to reach out for help but sincerely at such a time, the care team should be ensuring they put this in place. Love & Prayers xx
Tiffany mentioned some months ago that she had been offered a referral to the psychological support services at the Marsden. Many people here have also suggested to her that she could also avail herself of the facilities of the excellent Maggie's Centre which is in the grounds of the Royal Marsden in Sutton. They offer a range of psychological and support services and it sounds like a really lovely space to be with beautiful gardens that she and Amma or Matt could also just go and have some quiet time to reflect or have a cup of tea or a chat or join in with any of the groups or activities..
Sweet Tiffany 💙
I want to wrap my arms around you & hug you.
I remember when a neighbor’s son fell off his bike and hit his head. It was a particular spot that he had to relearn how to talk, walk eat, repeat 2 school grades and learn to relate to people- he changed into someone else. It was devastating.
From what I understand you will be experiencing changes in bodily functions after surgery but you will heal and recover and adapt to those changes.
What is a big positive is your essence of Tiffany will stay intact. Your personality, brain function, talking, walking, all limbs working… etc. etc. etc.-these are huge. Also being so young the body heals faster and better.
You Got This-We Got This 💙
As a someone with stage 4 colon cancer, I understand your fears and burnout. It is a lot to go from your everyday life to being a professional patient.
I had my cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC nine months ago having previously met with the primary surgeon. I only found out the size of the team involved and of course the number of organs they removed a couple of days post surgery (although I had been warned ahead of the possible extent of things). It sounds as though meeting with all participants ahead of time is exhausting and ratchets up worry. Here in Canada they streamlined things. I had faith in the primary surgeon and by extension all others involved in my 8 hour procedure. Your feelings are absolutely valid. This surgery is the Big Event you've been working towards. I will be thinking nothing but the best for you as this next part of your journey begins.
Best wishes and kind regards from Germany!
Rooting for you too !!!❤❤❤
Your comment is very supportive. My personal experience was to talk with people who had solar experiences. Eventually you gain more strength and can move forward.
Hope u are doing well 💗
I will never complaine again. Others have so much more to deal with! Feel well.
I would think it was the medication making you sick along with just being anxious. Be sure to eat after you take meds so that it's not just sitting in your stomach, you need something to absorb it. WE GOT THIS, positive thinking is the best medication, and you have the best support team!! XO
You NEVER have to apologize to us for ANYTHING. You are sharing your life and it's totally up to you what you share. Girl, you are facing more than most of us can imagine. I'm an RN, and I do have a good idea about the surgery you're facing, and I don't know how you're smiling at all. You be sad when you feel sad, cry if you need to cry, don't put on a happy face for us. You are amazing.
Anxiety is a massive thing when you going through appointments that are life changing,
You are so brave and so are Matt and your mum. You don’t need to share anything that makes you uncomfortable, it’s a personal journey and you need to come to terms with things in your own time. Your doing fantastic job documenting your diagnosis and life.
Just save your strength for what’s in front of you, one day at time. Your surgery and recovery won’t be far away.
Sounds like you're preparing for a pelvic exenteration. This is a huge and uncommon surgery but if it's your best chance for cure, you take it. And I'm glad you're opting to do it. I really appreciate your being so vulnerable in such a public way. You've got a long year ahead of you but you can do this. You're young and you have many years to live. I wonder if there's a support group available to you for this kind of surgery. My surgeon connected me with one of his patients because we were both young and dealing with an advanced cancer. And we supported each other throughout our treatment. Perhaps, your hospital could connect you with someone who's been through what you're about to? I've been a cancer patient for 8 years; treated and monitored for 3 separate incidents with various combinations of scans, bloodwork, biopsies, surgery, chemo, radiation and waiting. A lot of waiting. While I understand cancer more than I'd like to admit, I cannot imagine what you're going through. Remaining vigilant and advocating for your health is incredibly important no matter how well-meaning or experienced your doctors may be. You have a great support team and that's a huge part of surviving and thriving. Stay as brave as you are and I look forward to viewing your updates as often as you upload them. Don't worry about keeping up with that though. Your life comes first.
Don't be sorry, this is massive for you. Sending love and hugs xx
Tiffany, I feel so bad for you! Try eating something like toast before you take your morphine. Then take your anti-sickness medicine right after that. My daughter is a nurse and that’s her advice.💙
Wondering if it’s the morphine and you need to take anti-sickness meds at the same time? You’re bound to feel anxious. I’m not sure how any of us would be coping in the same situation. Remember about the energy in spoons too. Listen to your body. Sending huge huge love to you, Matt and Amma. We got this! 💙💙💙💞💞💞
Indeed ! 🙌🏼
absolutely been in pain management for years every dose I take I have to take anti nausea meds
Hi Tiffany, I sometimes need to take strong painkillers and it causes nausea and vomiting, especially on an empty stomach. You’re such a kind person, considering your loved ones above yourself. I hope u get that surgery very soon. Linda
Hey Tiffany! I’m from Perú, and i’m following your UA-cam channel for nearly two years now. My own grandfather had cancer when i subscribed, so i could relate to your fears, your pain and your journey. Unfortunately, he passed away on October. You two had something in common: your amazing strength and faith. I miss him every single day, and every time i think of him, i remeber you and pray for you, i hope with all my heart that your surgery goes well. I send you a big big hug and LOTS of love.
Hi Tiffany, the reason for your sickness is more likely to be the morphine medication rather than a bug. My husband had the same problem when he took it. Shame you missed your appointment but hopefully they will fit you in ASAP. You are stronger than you know and WE GOT THIS 💙
My partner also vomited whilst taking morphine😞
Yes, I was a nurse, maybe if you need to go out take your anti nausea with the morphine just in case.
I agree after an operation I had morphine and vomited
It might combination of coffee and what you ate anxiety and morphine
yes my ma-in-law had morphine after 3 separate joint replacement surgeries, she was sick every time 😒
Oh Tiffany you never have to apologize for your feelings, we are here for support, and love you and want nothing but the best for you, that’s why we watch. As a RN who worked in surgery for years, I know exactly what they will be doing, all of it, I think many think they are just going to do surgery and “ remove” the cancer, if only it were that easy. This surgery is life changing, be gentle on yourself. You got this, like I’ve said before, more importantly GOD has you!
Oh, Tiffany, you never have to apologize for any of you vlogs. We love, are doing our best to understand just how difficult what you're having to deal with is and know you can't be "happy go lucky" all the time. Feeling are not good or bad, they just are.
Tiffany: suggestion regarding pain medication. Ask your physician/s to give you anti - nausea medication when taking pain medication. Prior to surgery, I had nurses chart this. Since I do not tolerate pain meds, it made a huge difference. Wishing you a swift recovery after surgery and good health.
Omgosh! Please don’t ever feel the need to apologize for ANYTHING! You are such an inspiration and strong girl . I pray for you everyday and I know with God all your future dreams will come true and I’m so excited for those vlogs when your married to Mat and you have your beautiful babies around you. We all love and support you no matter what!! WE GOT THIS Tiffany! 🙏♥️🎄
Tiffany you probably don’t realise how many people you are helping with your vlogs and sharing your cancer journey. I’ve been watching your channel for just over 7 months now and never thought I’d be taking a similar journey as my husband battles prostate cancer. He has just had his second dose of chemo and it was a shock to watch him go through the chemo side effects during his first dose. You’ve made me realise that we have to take the good days with the bad and so much of what you have said resonates with me, Particularly with reference of trying to protect your mum and Mat. My husband is trying to protect me but I’m with him all the way and need to know how he’s feeling. My heart goes out to you and your family . Just keep doing what makes you feel happy and know that in doing so, you are helping others with their own emotions . Xx
Your words are so comforting but also unfortunate, I'm so sorry that you too are on your own journey with your husband dealing with postage cancer. I truly hope your husband will beat this unwelcoming invader into your lives, so you both can have a wonderful life to share forever.
It is good to protect those who we love but sometimes, we need to share that protection because we are also very vulnerable, in these circumstances.
God bless you both
You probably don't know the number of people you inspire to treasure family and everything they have. You are brave to share so much.
this will all soon be over Tiffany and you will be better and you can look back at your thoughts and feeling and see how brave you've been sending love and best wishes to you and your lovely family xxx
Darling girl, You are who I think of last thing at night and first thing in the morning as I ask God to watch over you (and my own daughter). Never apologise for being who you are and for what you give to your viewers. Your generosity is astounding.
Never apologize for your feelings. I would be a total wreck! You are handling this far better than most of us would. Be you!
Darling girl, I think one of the things that draws us to you is how authentic you are. And, we don’t need to know all the mechanics of what’s going to happen to love and support you. 😘 Whatever you share will be enough. 😘
Well said.
You say this isn’t a teaching channel, but you’re so wrong. You are teaching by example how to love others and advocate for your own health and how to get through this enormously difficult challenge with grace. You may not know the science of cancer, but you are such a light and your gift is in letting all of us share in your journey. Thank you for all you give us, and keep taking good care of yourself. Allow everyone take care of you as much as you can let them. Your loved ones have very little power in this impossible situation, and spoiling you is one way they can show you their love. ❤

Such a valid point x
Something we all need to be mindful of (myself included)…is that while we think of and pray for Tiffany often, this is basically a twenty minute period of time for us out of our regular schedules. This is happening to dear, sweet Tiffany 24 hours a day. The pain, the emotions, the loss of sleep, the fear, the financial aspects, the family dynamics and how it also impacts her mother, Matt and even her sister. So, let’s all just be loving, kind and supportive. Nothing matters more than Tiffany taking care of herself. What she does or doesn’t share and when she does or doesn’t share…is her personal choice and journey. Just remember…it’s easy to make suggestions or judge from “the cheap seats.” No one else on earth is walking her exact journey. Be patient, be kind, be loving and encouraging. 💙💙💙
KarlaElaine100: Great loving comment and insight Karla,Thank You! Yes... let's all be kind to one another.
What a fantastic response for Tiffany, who is so incredibly brave to face all this stress with such grace. I continue to pray for the best results from the surgery. You are so strong dear Tiffany. I admire you so much. And God bless Matt and Amma for their deep love for you.
Agreed, it's difficult enough to explain to family while sorting out our emotions.
Tiffany is much stronger than I was but using this vlog as a timeline is probably helping her track.
Tiffany, you don't ever have to apologize for anything.... !!! You are just real. I have cancer too, and I can't go through this, and be as open, friendly, and personable as you, publicly. Probably most people can't. You're always a great person, and we can't be ok all the time, and don't have to be, understandably. I sure care about you..., we all do...! You are a very nice, accomplished person, even with everything you have been through. I'm glad you have Matt and your great family. We all always wish the very best for you !!!
We would worry even more about you if you were constantly upbeat. Of course you are going to have a full range of emotions. Don’t apologise! How blessed are you with Matt and your Mum?! They are the best support. Sending love and hugs,xxx
Tiffany, please know that we all understand that you are going through so much. We all love you and will be here for you no matter if you are sad or happy. Luv you!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
I agree with your mom, the anxiety and stress hormones can make you feel so poorly and in your situation its intensified ❤
You don’t need to share anything, what you are going through is massive, it’s a big thing for you just to be able to even speak about it. Always in our prayers. Sending positive vibes. 💙💙💙
Anxiety can cause so many issues including sickness. Your going through a massive ordeal Tiffany. Give yourself some grace and know that your allowed to be scared, clingy, nervous, worried, panicky. All those emotions are part of what makes you human. Praying daily for you and your family.
I am glad that Matt was with you seeing the surgeon, always have him or you’re sister with you xx
You are fine sharing whatever you wish………how can the thousands of us say it any clearer! Your journey has inspired me to live harder-to be present in every moment….you are educating us on “how to handle”. Your ability to cheer us up is astounding……….a real hero to many you are…..hugs
WHAT????Tiffany we are here because we care about you and your very challenging journey. We love you and your family. Don't change a thing about yourself or your channel. You don't have to explain anything or apologize for anything. We are blessed to have you in our lives. You give so much of yourself in your post. You help so many people. I used to ask myself if how I felt and how I was processing things. You helped me realize that however I am feeling or however I am processing is ok,even though every little detail isn't the same as you. You have helped me realize that I can decide how I go along on my journey just like you can. Being positive and living life is the gift you have given me!
Don't apologize my dear Tiffany. This surgery is life changing with no guarantees. We love you and I pray for your family and you and a healthy recovery
Tiffany. Your not protecting them. The already know how dangerous this is. So allow Matt and amma to be as much there as they can. So they can't say they have regrets
I mean this lovingly - please do consider taking up that offer of counselling.
I have cancer and every time I get sick I freak out and think my cancer has grown. Sending you lots of love 💕
❤️sending you love
Your fears are rational because you have cancer. But notice how cancer is everywhere. We have to accept that any one of us at any time could get cancer. Some people have cancer for many years then pass away from old age. All we can do is monitor our cancer, get it treated, and hope for the best. May God bless and keep you.
I'm so sorry you not feeling well, maybe it's just the stress of everything that you are going through at the moment , you have had a lot to cope with. Feel better soon and build yourself up for the surgery as you need to be strong. Praying for you everyday xx WE GOT THIS 💙💙💙
Please never apologise Tiffany. You being you is enough. If this channel is helping you this is great. We love you and surround you with support. Sending you much love. xx
Yes morphine
Yes, you are right about getting the surgery soon. The stress is tremendous for you, Tiff, and I pray you will have God’s peace and comfort. Thank God for your Amma and Matt. Praying for all of you. Hugs for Amma. 🥰 Love from Mississauga ❤️🇨🇦
I understand 100% about not wanting to share certain things, and it’s your right to do so. For me, with endometrial cancer, I shared most things, but for some reason, (I don’t really understand it myself) my egg freezing process was private for me. I just wanted to keep that private. When certain people found out, I felt exposed, it’s hard to explain why. So I completely understand.
I love how your face lights up when you see Matt and your momma ❤️ True love ♥️
Tiffany, Be You! which at the moment is you being sad/preoccupied/whatever. As someone subscribed to your channel I see a lovely young woman being challenged by an ugly, extraordinary event. I am here to support you by listening and sometimes providing kind words (like today). You Got This. You are doing all the right things which includes you taking care of you including the emotion-related things.
Please stop apologizing. You are so worried about everyone and their feelings but Tiffany this is about you and we all are here for you! We’ve got this!!! 💙💙💙💙
Tiffany the stress along with morphine on an empty tummy can make you vomit. Try to go easy on yourself. I love dear Matt telling you that you must eat before cuddling. He’s such a blessing. Love to you all. ❤
I think the fact that he is telling her to eat even when she is sick is very telling, his tone would indicate to me that eating is a bit of a problem for her, even when she is well enough, after all, he spends way more time with her than we see on these videos, and, according to Tiff herself, the Drs have said she needs to put on weight to be strong enough to withstand the surgery she needs, so, hopefully she does manage to eat more,
My dear Tiffany, I can only speak for myself but I understand. And I suspect 99% of us do. We love you and are committed to you, Matt and and your dear mum. You are a beautiful family and I am honored to follow you through the bad times to your arrival at good health and healing. You got this girl. And you have thousands of us you have your back!
I was thinking at first when you didn't want Matt with the doctors appointment that you might not remember anything the doctor says. Often you are kind of in shock and then everything the doctor said is lost, it is usually better to have someone with you! Good thing you changed your mind. I am sure you being sick was anxiety and being overwhelmed with news, that now it is closer to happening. Two appointments in one day probably too much. As a nurse I have seen this play out many times! Big hugs that you can decrease your anxiety and feel better! We got this 💙
We are here to support you Tiffany, you do what’s best for you 💙
Hi Tiffany,
Notes and an advocate or two are wonderful to have to process information and formulate questions at appointments; in addition, I suggest using a voice recording app. loaded on to your cell phone to capture the entire appointment conversation. Replay the conversations when you feel well enough. Being on pain medication or even stress itself can make it difficult to remember everything that the doctor, nurses, and upcoming specialists are going to teach you. Don't hesitate to videotape for yourself the instructions specialists will demonstrate and teach you.
Don’t apologize sweet girl. Let us be here for you right now. You need all the support you can get right now. Allow yourself to be in a position of receiving not giving
Oh yeah I 100% agree with your Amma, DEFINITELY anxiety or fear. And it's completely understandable. It'll be okay, just keep pressing onward. And it's good to take a break every now and then as well.
I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You're going through such a tough time, nobody would expect you to be positive and bubbly all the time. I also don't think anyone expects you to educate them on this cancer and your treatment but it would just be great if you could do just one video dedicated to to this whole journey. You had earlier videos and it seemed like you were having stomach troubles. Could this be related? You have built up quite a following since your diagnosis and by sharing all your symptoms, even from way back that may not be related, but somebody could watch your video and it could literally save their life.
Amma and Matt are both fully grown people who can handle any and all of this. Did they ask you to protect them? I’m not, that is the last thing you should worry about. How can they support you if you are keeping things for them. You are so sweet for caring more about them than you do yourself. You are so selfless, but it is time to require yourself first when it comes to the surgery. 💙
I love how no matter how long the drive Matt is fully stocked with snacks and his famous sandwiches! 😂
You have ever right sweet Tiffany for you to be up and down with your emotions. I work on a cancer floor everyday and I see many patients going through emotions and it is your followers to love you and support you through this. It is our job to love and support you and to encourage you. Prayers continuing for you and your family. Much love too you!!
Oh, dear Tiffany, you are going through so much!! Please don't worry about us; those of us who care about you will keep watching and praying for you! So grateful you have the loving support of Matt and your wonderful Amma!
I am such a fan of Matt! He’s doing a great job taking care of you and encouraging you ❤
I hope you’re feeling better since this video! Just a note, don’t forget to look after your mental health. I noticed you’ve mentioned things like this can worry you and it’s so important to make sure you do your best to address the anxiety it can bring on, as well as looking after your psychical health! I hope this isn’t too intrusive, wishing you and your family all the best!
Anxiety was definitely cause nausea. I have that problem my self. Keep some salted crackers with you and maybe ginger ale. Those help me when this happens. Love to you. I'm so glad you have Matt and Amma to support you.
I thought my last comment was asking a question so thought I'd comment directly and remind you Tiffany we're all here for you, whatever you choose to share or not we appreciate every single ounce of content you release! Seriously I think you're a comfort for half of us I know myself on the days you upload I look forward to and get excited about knowing you'll have a video at 6pm and honestly I'd still sit and watch if it was just a video of you watching paint dry 😂 never think your content isn't educational I can guarantee you now you're helping more people than you know who have just been diagnosed and have went to UA-cam for guidance. Okay I'm probably babbling now but I just want you to know what a precious soul you are and we're here for you every step of the way, through the sad and happy times and whatever you're feeling or if you seem "too sad" we understand, I think most of us would be crying every single video if we were in your situation you're so strong and we love you 💙💙💙
It's a lot for you to process but you're not alone. Everyone loves you, and pray with you...Soon you will be cancer free. We got this ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💯
Tiffany looks incredibly weak and pale in this video. Not to mention the extreme anxiety that is hitting HARD. She is so sleepy and tired most of the time as she says. No walks, no outdoor runs, no exercising... I can't imagine how she is going to tackle the stress that lies ahead of her. How is she going to gain muscles? She is going to be in bed post-surgery for a long time and the body is going to lose more weight!
14 months from being diagnosed with Cancer. No surgery. Last 4-5 months no treatments either (barring the Biopsies & scans). I shudder to think what her body has endured inside. I seriously want her to get better, to get well. Please eat good food, get strong Tiff. This ain't no Sorcery, it's a tough ride ahead.
Dr said 6 weeks waiting time but has it been 12 weeks since then already ? Time flies. I hope it doesn’t get delayed more. I also hope she would recover as fast as possible.
It’s obvious she is hiding her fear because she doesn’t want Amma to hear. I understand her. Amma is a soft and sweet soul. So lovable and she is extremely supportive of her. How lucky she is really. ❤
@Laney 26 Yes... saw it on her IG. Incredible recovery must say! Dancing around a Christmas Tree and Vlogmas are top priorities now. 😂
You are going through a very traumatic time. We understand. I only had to deal with breast cancer this year. It messed with my head at first, but I read everything I could find about it. I had drastic surgery and even now I feel like I am always going to be a different person. One can talk to others who have the same condition but my cancer is mine. In the U.S., most cancer surgeons have nurse navigators who are available almost 24/7. Mine told me no question or concern is trivial. Do your healthcare providers write down the procedures they plan? Ask them everything. For me, I don't like surprises. I want to know so I can think things through and calm down the crazy things running in my head. You can do this. You are stronger than you realize.
'only' breast cancer is still a major deal. I hope that you are OK.
Tiffany, you don't need to apologize. You are going through a lot. Please be sure you have a full understanding of what the doctors are telling you before any major surgery. Ask lots of questions if you need to. We all know you got this!!! Prayers and blessings your way.
Rooting for you girl - you can and will get through this ❤
My lovely Tiffany we are here because we care for you. 💙 We got this!!!
Having zero knowledge about cancer when you have been diagnosed for over an year is quite alarming! You are facing a major surgery, you need to educate yourself to prevent further shocks down the line.. I know you can do this 💪 because you are so strong !! Wish you well..
You must be kidding. How can she educate herself when trained professionals have been making decisions that haven't turned out to be helpful. Tiffany is focused and continues to see the light. She's doing great.
How much knowledge does she need? She just need to be brave, and strong, she hasn’t studied for 8+ years or specialised in oncology!! Some people google things to the core, and other prefer to switch off.. when you’re diagnosed NOTHING goes in. I was in the medical profession for 27 years. When my son was unwell I was a wreck, I wasn’t my child’s care provider I was his mother
Tiffany dear! I think most of us are here because we hope we can support YOU in our own little ways. You have taught me so much! not necessarily about cancer, but about attitude and faith. You are such a lovely girl. Hugs from Tennessee USA.
So much for you to process! No apologies needed! Being true to your feelings is the most important thing you can do. This surgery is a major life event for you and your family. Working on your videos while feeling unwell and dealing with the stress of the impending surgery just shows us all how strong and amazing you are!
I just watched a video of Ukrainians fighting with undeniable bravery and determination, despite their suffering, to save their devastated land and reclaim their lives from brutal invaders. And then I see you doing exactly the same. Glory to you Tiffany… stay strong and keep fighting. You are a role model for us all.
You know Palestine is doing the same thing.

Dear Tiffany, you are so entitled to all your feelings, so happy you are sandwiched between Matt and Amma on the sofa. They love you so much and that’s exactly where you should be. We are just the background noise - but know you’re in my thoughts and prayers every day!! So I’m off to find a nice card and send it with love from Aussie 🐨💙🙏🏽xx 😘
Love and best wishes to everyone going through this horrendous cancer journey.❤
It's clear to me that morphine on an empty stomach is bound to make you sick , as well as your anxiety about everything that is happening to you. Thinking of you, always.
