I’m 5 Years Cancer-Free: What I’ve Learned (Top Tips for Other Patients) | Stephanie’s Story 

Thank you for sharing your story. You just showed me that life is worth living. There is life after cancer. I’m battling colon cancer at this time and preparing myself to get my fist chemotherapy, after a Laparoscopic-assisted colectomy surgery… Keep encouraging us to do our best! Congratulations!🤗

Thank you for this and all your videos! I am not a cancer patient, but I am a Nurse, with an interest in Oncology, and I am learning so much from you! Blessings to you now, and in your next 5 years of cancer freedom!!

Your "win" is a win for all of us! Thank you, Stephanie, for all your work. ♥

Stephanie thanks for sharing your story with us. So happy to hear you are 5 years and going cancer free 😊❤.

Oh, Stephanie. I have watched several videos of The Patient Story. I never heard your person story. Thank you for spreading knowledge and hope. As I write the message, I am fighting back tears. You are so lovely. Xoxo

Sooo happy that you are 5 years cancer free! Thank you for helping others through your work. Watching now.

Such a touching and thoughtful reflection that resonated with me. To take your experience and not only share it, but turn it into such empowering, educational and inspirational work that is "the patient story" is a testament to your journey. Thank you for giving patients, caregivers and advocates alike a voice. I'm sure I speak for many viewers when I say how truly valuable we find it. Wishing you continued success and many more cancer free years...happy anniversary Stephanie!

Thank you for this, Stephanie. It is very moving and encouraging.

Thank you for recording your cancer journey. It will help so many on this road. I’m glad your doing well. God bless you

Thank you for hosting patient stories. They do help me.

Right on Stephanie, my battle is just getting started.

Thank you Stephanie for sharing your story, it’s encouraging with lots of hope for the future. God Bless you and your family.

We are so very fortunate to have you Stephanie. Wishing your story continues joyous and with great length! Thank you for sharing the strength.

Thank you for sharing your Story Stephanie and for all the work you have done for people to to feel amd be connected through these videos ❤

Stephanie, thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been waiting for this one, I cried because I’ve been watching your videos from your first one on this channel. Congratulations on your 5 years and on your babies! 🥹♥️♥️

Thank you so much for sharing your story, Stephanie. You are helping many people. I'm also 5 years NED after cancer treatment, and I fear recurrence as my blood work has recently become unstable. But watching your video has helped keep me motivated. May you remain cancer free for life.

I think you are amazing. The last few weeks I have been binge watching your channel to help me understand my brother’s journey with Cancer. I have learned so much from the amazing people who have come to tell their story. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your story and tips Stephanie. Very moving - and helpful. And thank you for doing this important work. Love from Amsterdam ❤

Thank you for the wonderful update Stephanie! Thankful for your 5 year cancer free & a hundred more xo

You are a huge inspiration, Stephanie. You are changing lives with your work.

So happy to see this new video which shows you healthy and well looking. The CoVID didn’t keep you down long I hope. I see the happy light back in your eyes. I’m a breast cancer survivor myself who perhaps is hesitant to celebrate too much. You have put meaning for me into those feelings of the heaviness of ‘survivorship’. I am so blessed to have made that walk across hot coals by way of two small surgeries, five years of Tamoxifen, and thirty radiation treatments. That treatment ended in August 2001. My naïveté bubble was popped on the day of my ‘last’ visit to the Cancer Center, the ending of the weekly loving care I received from my team as well as that being the day I learned that breast cancer has a tendency to travel with bowel, bladder, and lung cancer. Just acknowledging that ‘things are what they are’, regardless of our approval, we were given the most miraculous gift of life in these bodies; a tool for our spirits to house and applaud life, even the insignificant negative fluff. We have all that we need to walk as warriors against cancer or anything else that poses as the harbinger of death. It is life in love that is eternal not in the current vessel or fear of something. People who have passed into the ether are with us now, bound by our love for them. It is the same love that smothers my fear about the ‘next shoe dropping’, fighting cancer again. If love can do all that then love is all I need.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for all your hard work with this incredible channel. Sending you love and hugs. Today and every day.

Beautiful, touching and educational. You are so, so well spoken and classy. May God Bless you with continuing good health.

You are so precious Stephanie. You keep fighting and you'll be fine.❤🙏

As a survivor myself I know some of what having cancer means as we experienced. So happy you are “dancing with NED for 5 years. God bless you and keep you well🙏 Stay strong dear one🧘

Stephanie: Wow. Just wow. Took me a bit to let the power and grace of your story settle in my thoughts so I could speak to it. First of all, thank you for this channel and the energy you put out into the world. I hope it comes back to you many, many times over in gratitude and support from all of the people you have helped. I could go on and on, but I just want to say that I am so sorry for your pain at the loss of those you have befriended and gotten to know. I hope you know we are all of us thinking of you and hoping we can somehow, someway, help with this pain by telling you how much you have helped with ours by giving us a voice and a face, when cancer was slowly erasing us from ourselves. Survivorship can be such a heavy burden, but oddly, I have found that it is lighter when you carry someone on your back, be it a stressed caregiver, or a friend or coworker who has just gotten a diagnosis themselves. This you have shown the world. Because I did not die right away, I lived to have my oldest son tell me right before he went off to college that he was looking forward to being friends with me when he is an adult, and my youngest son tell me that he sees much of my kindness in him, and he thinks it is a good thing. These are the moments that make the darkness retreat. I too am guilty that so many of my co-survivors suffer and pass. I have come to the conclusion that my life and my happiness serves as a tribute to them, and living, I mean, truly living with connection and perspective and purpose, is the biggest thumb I can jab into cancer's eye. May all of your days be filled with peace and healing. Luis

Thank you Stephanie for sharing your story and the story of countless others ❤

Oh I’ve watched so many of your videos Stephanie and I’ve learned so so very much! , but I think the main take away is this….although all stories are different they are all the same. Cancer is cancer! It’s scary, it’s untimely and it’s a journey! So glad to have finally come across your story! Thank you for doing these stories….a pancreatic shared story would be “nice” to watch….Many blessings to you and yours💕

You are magnificent in every wonderful way one could imagine. I feel genuine affection for you. Your husband is a doll and your mama is a beauty. Wishing you the best. ❤ Bonnie 💋

Stephanie you are so brave as a patient and human being. May God bless!!! 💗

Hugs Stephanie :) I have wanted to hear your story. Thank you!

You are beautiful and strong. Wise and inspiring. Thank you for the updates. You are a hero

This is so good! Thank you!!

Beautifully done. ❤

You’re a special young lady! I need to find your strength.

I hope you have many more cancer free years.

I wish I had your video available back in 2009. Excellent advice!

18 months and I have nothing. Aussie. I am so frustrated. Lost weight. That's fine, as I was overweight anyway. But sick of pain and sick of feeling ill. I just want to know what's wrong. Why is it taking so long to find answers. We even thought of selling our home so I could get help. On an air mattress for over 4 months now. In bed most of the time. I'm sorry to cry on your shoulder, but I only have a few friends to talk with. My husband is amazing and so tired with having to care for me. I try not to talk too much now. I try to think of the good things in my day now to keep things lighter. But I'm tired...next week I finally get my second endoscopy with biopsies...through the Hepatabiliary clinic. I've had a 3cm tumor in my pacreas for over 20yrs. It's slow growing and not cancer. My last endo/biop was 29th Dec 2022. If nothing shows this time they're dropping me. Such a wait. Starting next week in Gastro Clinic next week too. It's all happened too slow...😢 Thank you for being here for all of us!!!! I watch your videos. Kimmie🥰💜😘

So happy for you..god bless you

I had double hit big cell lymphoma 2 years ago my bones and my energy are weak , which stage was yours I think it makes a big difference

God protect you and keep you healthy. I hope you have a long life and turn into a wrinkly old lady ☺

ur so cute with short hair ❤ and so young!!

What did you do or mindset before you found out had cancer I in stage were my doctor told me go to hemtogy & oncology to check enlarge spleen if had cancer but what tell people around you I may not have it not that know of yet but definitely been difficult hearing you might have cancer especially because two family members had two different type cancer in my family that unfortunately passed away

Great❤! Can I repost your all videos to the platform named Gan Jing World, which is full of clean valuable videos?

I did same, just went to er

I like wearing jeans and that is probably not a good idea for a Pet scan.

Your a goddess

Don't get your hopes up, cancer comes back. There's no cure.
