Let’s pray for all the ones with cancer. 🙏🙏🙏
-
This young woman is 1,000 times braver than I am. This young woman is STRONG. I admire how she has dealt with such difficulties.
-
This channel and it's exploratory teaching has been a major drive for me as I give back 50% of my weekly earning ($32,000) to the sick old ones in my neighborhood. God bless America 🇺🇸
-
What bugs me is instead of doing xray, ultrasound, mri, CT scan….they rather give meds and let all that valuable time pass🤦🏽♀️ I hate the us healthcare system
-
I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer just 3 months ago… I was 37.. and I wasn’t taken seriously either. God is helping me. I know I am healed. Be your own advocate!
-
She possesses such an enormous dose of courage. What an unbelievable, beautiful person. So much to love about her.

I'm so thankful my dr ordered scans and blood tests right away. He always told me I tested for the worst 1st, then worked my way down. He diagnosed my MIL brain tumour in 2 visits. The 1st time she saw him, she told him about her weird symptoms. Nothing major, fatigue, and tingling in her arm. She'd been telling her own dr about it for months, and he said it's hormonal. She had no headaches at all ironically. My dr sent her for an MRI scan that afternoon and said, "Come back in the morning." The following morning, he said "unfortunately it's just as I suspected. You have a brain tumour and need to go to the ER immediately. 2 days later, she had it removed, she survived 4 more yrs 😢 The surgeon said she had this tumour for at least 2 yrs. It's so scary. My heart hurts for all those battling any type of cancer. F*^K CANCER! ❤

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
-
God please do a miracle on this beautiful soul 🙏🏼
-
No one takes a young woman seriously. I can't believe that one person said your "old" age was the cause of your heartburn. When I was 33 I was literally having a heart attack in the ER and they just kept me waiting and telling me things looked "normal" just like you! I was and am also petite, no smoking, not a typical heart attack patient. I hope to hear you are doing great. Sending love.💕
-
This is extremely honorable of her to share her experiences with cancer. Her smile is beautiful! I pray for the best.
-
To all the cancer patients out there, feel better and remember never to give up hope. My Mom is a stage 4 cancer patient and she hasn't given up hope. She still goes out with her friends, dresses up, lives on her own and cleans up her own place. She just turned 87 in April. Don't lose hope.
-
C'mon everyone. Give this video a like. She is a great story teller. She might save a life or two by telling her story in such detail.
-
Theres a true warrior in that little body. You faced the big C head on and living to tell the story. You are already a Hero. 💐
-
Keep fighting, Alyssa! I'm coming up on my 6 year anniversary being cancer-free after a stage 4 diagnosis. I know first hand how tough the battle is but It's clear to see you're a warrior and will beat this! If I can give you any advice it would be to cut out anything in your diet even remotely being suspected as a carcinogen and load up on anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods. Also try to remain positive and cut out any negativity in your life. I will keep you in my thoughts. ♥
-
Please, please keep this young woman in our prayers. God is the ultimate healer and the ONLY ONE who can deliver a miracle. 🙏❤
-
This is so unfair and tragic. I'm praying for a miracle that this young woman is cured and able to see her child grow up. What a terrible thing for a young mother to go through.
-
Self advocacy is exhausting. Prayers.
-
This is a horrendous true medical narrative. I get so frustrated with doctors not listening to patients. You must advocate for yourself at all times. You are brave, sending strength and prayers. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
-
A REFERRAL TO THE GI SPECIALIST SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SECOND SHE HAD HEARTBURN. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Im so sorry you went thru this ❤
