When your hosts started this podcast, they never dreamt they would have someone like today’s guest on the show. It is truly a dream come true to offer Madison Baloy a platform to share her story, a story that’s impacted so many through her platforms and beyond. Diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal cancer and having undergone a colostomy, Madison joins the Lautners to discuss her diagnosis and to reveal how she’s navigating life in the aftermath with such positivity, vulnerability, and authenticity. She explains what “terminal” means, talks about getting her awesome head tattoo, and shares her experience of having to engage in end-of-life conversations at only 26 years old. She also expands on her bucket list and the incredible things that have come from it going viral. While she did not choose to be part of medical discourse or the disabled community, she is taking this opportunity to live life on her terms and offer representation to anyone who can relate.

    Just heard the news that she passed away. May she rest in peace. 🤍
  • @virtualxella
    She was given 5 years, but she didn't even make it a year and a half... This world is so cruel, this is gut-wrenching and utterly devastating. Rest easily beautiful girl, your bravery and courage in the face of all this heartbreak will never EVER be forgotten.

    My sister-in-law had colon cancer, many years ago. She also knew that something was wrong. She just didn't feel right and kept telling her doctor that something was wrong and she kept pushing her doctor to do testing. Sure enough, she had colon cancer and was put in the hospital immediately to have the tumour removed. Luckily she insisted that something was wrong and kept pushing for testing. Because of that, they caught it early and she was able to have the tumour removed. This was over 30 years ago and she is still doing fine. So advocating for yourself is vital!

    As someone who is terrified of dying, this video gave me such a relief and sense of peace. I think i´ll watch this every time the anxiety kicks in. Thanks Madison, and thanks to the squeeze for opening this space. Love you 🥰
  • @missmultimedia
    I'm doing preventative chemo for ovarian cancer and I can't believe how this girl can be so active and positive over her terminal cancer ❤ it's amazing
  • @stephen8038
    May she rest in a peace as beautiful as her spirit 💜
  • @saramerino6402
    Just found out about this girl. I’ve had some concerning symptoms for about less than 2 years and would get it brushed off by the doctors. I finally have a colonoscopy appointment and am hoping for good news. It’s hard to advocate for yourself when , like Maddie said, women are dismissed for some symptoms like IBS, menopause etc. If something is happening outside the norm, keep trying to push the doctors to run tests.
  • I just want to say this women is incredible ❤…I’m a 5 year cancer survivor… My heart goes out to her because I know the struggle.. I’m going to tell the words my brother told me “ don’t let your mind follow your body, think positive thoughts or your body follows your mind “ every day I wanted to give up.. I had staged 2 and 4 ( weird I know I had 2 different forms of the same cancers in my body non-Hodges lymphoma, leukemia, ugly, cousin) but I’m here to say don’t let anyone tell you can’t live.. don’t let your mind feed your body negatively… I’m here for you… ❤❤❤❤
  • @Kergomez
