I Got Cancer At 25 

A couple surviving a deadly disease and still being together? Now THAT is better than any Disney movie ❤️

My daughter had cancer. She was such a fighter, she got diagnosed at 4 and passed away at 10. You can do this even if she couldn’t!!! Mummy misses you so much Emily.

Be strong girl. I was 27 when I found out I had Endometrial cancer. My Uterus and Fallopian tubes were the first to go. I had to go through chemo same reason you had to just to make sure there was absolutely nothing left. My ovaries ended up coming out as well. I had the option to harvest my eggs but didn't have the financial means to do it. So I am no longer able to have my own kids. It was very empowering for me when I shaved my hair and didn't wait for it to fall out. It will get better. And yes, we are ALIVE!!

I finished my own chemo about 2 months ago - I'm 22. I feel Megan so deeply and wish her all the happiness and light in the world 💜

You never realize how much you appreciate life until you’re close to losing it.

I had cancer (NH lymphoma) last year and a few weeks ago on Christmas Eve I got the all clear, I’m 16. WE DID IT!!!❤️

“I’m sorry you have to deal with this” “I’m sure everyone is sorry _you_ have to deal with this” I’m not crying

bless your boyfriend he seems so god damn supportive, im sorry you had to go through this

The fact that she was so so so proud of her curly hair after years of learning to love it before she was diagnosed is what really makes this story hit so hard for me. I am hoping she can beat this, she needs all the positivity she can get right now!!!!

He boyfriend is so supportive,standing next to her even through the hard obstacles in her life❤️

I was 24 when I got diagnosed with cancer almost exactly one month after you. We also finished treatment around the same time. This video was amazing and made me feel less alone. Thank you x

I got cancer at 19, I’m 22 now and free. Thank you for making feel less alone in the journey.

The buzzcut highkey looks really good

Her face looks so different without her curly hair, you can see her beautiful facial features!!! Stay strong Megan you got this!!!!! 👍👍

my sister got cancer two years ago at 25 and my mom just a week ago at 55. sending so many prayers to you, i understand your journey.

Watching this reminded me of the pain my mom had to go through with her lung cancer Love you mommy 1971-2017

I got cancer at 10 and my hair is a real struggle I still go through hair loss today after 4 years I’m still going through cancer 💔

is it me or does anyone else thinks Megan looks actually great with short hair? :)

So much respect for her and all the other cancer fighters and survivors out there.....

I was just thinking about seeing it from her boyfriend's perspective. He must have been scared every minute thinking the woman he loved could be dead or dying but he still smiled and held her through out the journey. He was there for every breakdown and breakthrough and it really shows the courage it took. I really hope they get married.

I was diagnosed last year september....stage 2 breast cancer. I was 24. I got no hair.....on the chemotherapy tablets. Can't eat alot but we will get better. We will survive.

girl i'm so sorry you have to deal with all of this, but for what it's worth, ya LOOK DANG GOOD with a buzz!!!

I got cancer at 17 and I had no one remotely close to my age going through the same struggles and hurdles that I was facing. Everyday was tough but also a blessing, blessed to wake up and see my friends and family, blessed to see, hear, taste! Cancer took a lot away from me but it does not define who I am. I'm 23 and thriving. Never take a day for granted, always see the positive and keep smiling! Thank you for sharing your story and letting everyone know that it's okay not to be okay, life is unexpected but we make the best of it ❤️ I wish you nothing but happiness survivor!

I found out that they broke up, her and her boyfriend. So sad for her

Also shoutout to your boyfriend, family, friends...what an amazing support system.

You remind me so much of friend. She was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 16. Unfortunately the doctors in my country couldn't treat her so she went to England to be treated there. She stayed in England for 1 year and in September 2018 she was told that she won the battle against leukemia, so in December the doctors told her that she can come back home and she did come home for Christmas...but then after Christmas she went to the hospital again for some last shots and tests she had to do but then the doctors found out that some of her leukemia moved to the brain and sadly a day before New Year Eve she passed away due to some blockage. I still cry every time that i think of her. She didn't deserve any of this, she was the sweetest and nicest girl I knew.. I hope she rests in peace. She will be missed

My cousin was twenty-four when she was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer. She fought the good fight for three years. She was a beautiful, funny, wonderful person. We all still miss her more than words can say. I pray that all of these young people are cured and lead beautiful lives. God bless them all. 🙏🏻

This video is so important. Back at the beginning of December, I found a lump in my left breast. I was terrified. I rushed into the doctor the next day fearing the worst. She sent me to get an ultrasound. I sat for fifteen minutes in total silence while the ultrasound technician ran the machine over my breast over and over again, again fearing the worst. I went to the doctor to receive my results and got bad ones: a possibility of malignancy. I’d have to have a biopsy immediately. The biopsy comes and I’m fearing the worst. The actual procedure was not as bad as the lead up or the follow up of recovering. I then spent the next week (the week of Christmas) convinced that I was dying of cancer at the age of 21. Come the Friday after Christmas, I go to the doctor, once more fearing the worst. But the results came back benign. I was so relieved. But even though I didn’t go through cancer like Megan did, I came out on the other side having learned the same lessons she did. Before my cancer scare, I would blithely say “I want to die” and mean it. Now, I want to live. And that is a beautiful gift. Thank you Megan for sharing your story. You are going to help so many people.

wow its so interesting to see what people go through having cancer without having it being kinda romanticized like it is in the movies.

Your boyfriend loves u very much ☺️

My mom had gtd cancer and the doctors just said...... She is now cancer free

I just started my cancer journey at 16 (stage 3 HL) and I’m just starting to lose my hair and it’s super scary.

I wish you the very best in your second chance at life. I was 22 when I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. It's been 3 years since then and I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. Along with two different chemotherapies that were ineffective, I had to be in an immunotherapy clinical trial because my cancer grew back quickly (refractory cancer) and chemo wouldnt kill the cells fast enough. After that, I had to get radiation treatments in my hipbone and spine. As a safety precaution I had to get a bone marrow transplant. Essentially getting rid of my immune system and getting a new immune system from a donor to kill any cancer cells left. Before transplant I had to get more chemo and full body radiation. Fast forward to after transplant, a side effect of having a foreign immune system in a new body, they can attack the body. This happened to me. It attacked my skin, eyes, and GI tract. I ended up with huge ulcers in my stomach and intestines that bled non stop. I was losing blood faster than the doctors could put in. I ended up with IVs in both hands, my wrist, both inner elbows, my neck, and chemo port. All of them were bags of blood and platelets. Not sure what happened after that as I was in a medically induced coma for 10 days. After that was spending 90% of 2018 in the hospital. I lost over 100lbs....fast forward to today, hair is slowly growing back, I'm getting energy and strength back, started online schooling...just trying to feel normal again and finally seeing my fiance smile again. Even though I almost lost my life, I wouldn't change any bit of what I went through. It changed my life for the better. And for anyone currently dealing with cancer, Stay strong and always remember you have people rooting for your success and if you ever need someone to talk to, there are plenty of support groups that have immensely caring people that want to uplift and motivate you.

Hi Megan, I'm 22 years old. A month ago I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a precancerous disease in the colon. Watching your video has made me realize that I am not alone and that the human body is amazing in recovering. Thank you for sharing your story, I am still afraid to share mine but little by little I think I will achieve it.

I never cry watching these kind of videos, but that was not the case for this video. I think it’s because I was able to relate to several of her symptoms and emotions for my own time in my life where I was battling sickness. Thank you so much for sharing this story- it was beautiful! ❤️

This is so emotional. Happy she got through this part of her life 😢😊

I get it. I had cancer when I was 13-14. Your body has literally betrayed you and your only means of survival is literally trying to kill you. The air thing didn’t bother me and I actually tried to make myself cry when it started falling out in the shower but couldn’t lol. I’m a better person for it, but I would definitely say it’s the worst thing that happened to me and it ruined my outlook on life. Edit: I wish I could feel the same as her right now because it’s been two years now that I’m in remission and I still can’t try and remember the days that were so bad (my mom tells me things that happened that are just completely wiped from my memory aside a few flashes) or even just talk/think about my cancer without breaking down into hysterical crying. The only way I can talk about it is with that typical unhealthy coping mechanism of humor. I need therapy or something.

I got cancer at 21 and it came back this year I had to have more surgeries I'm 28 now, the surgeries were a success!

I watched this before I was diagnosed with leukemia at 14 and now watching it back now I understand soo much more were she is coming from you will only really understand it you go through it xx

This is so inspiring, I feel like sobbing my eyes out. What an incredible young woman, I am so happy for you and your newfound strength.

That buzz cut looks STUPID GOOD honeslty you should keep it!!

Damn, you never know what people are going through.

2 minutes in and I am already tearing. What an emotional journey.

Who else was breathing with her🙋🏻

My friend got cancer when he was 7 and my whole class was so confused why he was never in school and then the teacher explained to us that he might never come back and everyone was really upset and really miserable until like a week later he came back and our whole class had a big group hug and it was really cute 😂❤️

SHE LOOKS SOOOO GOOD WITH A SHAVED HEAD!!!! I WOULDN’T EVEN LOOK CLOSE TO HOW GOOD SHE LOOKS

I'm so sorry you had to go through Cancer! But Girl, you were made to rock that shaved head!!! You are a beautiful soul!!!

I feel so bad, but I’m so glad she’s happy now and just Megan for life

**sends virtual hug*** congratulations on being such a strong woman and beating cancer!!!

Megan can rock that buzz cut!! She looks amazing.

You honestly look so stunning with short hair

1. She looks amazing with short hair oh my gosh 2. This was the most inspirational and emotional thing ever Congrats 💕

Her boyfriend is amazing...he is so supportive and caring towards her❤️

I survived 8 minutes of this, and then I broke. You brave, courageous, lovely lady :)

So brave and so beautiful. What an amazingly strong person.

your letter to yourself is the most inspiring thing...makes me feel like i can make it through anything...thankyou..

I swear to god, i mean this from the bottom of my heart,, you LOOK STUNNING and that hair looks perfect on you 💛💛💛💛

All my love Megan. BTW you look amazing in short hair, I think it fits you really well, even better than long hair.

My heart goes out to her😣😔❤❤❤

GIRL THAT HAIRCUT THO I LOVEEEEEEE

My partner got cancer at 25 too. It was a true battle for her and i truly feel this video as i was that man standing beside her through the chemo, radiotherapy and multiple surgeries. We went through everything that you went through in this video just a year ago. She had a rare cancer, epithelial lymphoma carcinoma. It was a journey we went through and we came out stronger as she was declared to be in remission just last July. Best of luck in life my friend! We stand with you. With love from Malaysia.

3 years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 26. A cancerous cyst ruptured my left ovary. Thankfully that was the extent of the cancer and I didn't need further treatment after surgery. I consider myself incredibly lucky. You, my dear, are a survivor. You are strong. And you are BADASS! Thank you for sharing your story ❤

I swear to God you look INCREDIBLE with hair, without hair, in wigs...You're so gorgeous no matter what. Partly because you're physically beautiful, but partly because your strength, humor, and passion for life is so apparent no matter what. ❤️

I really hope you and your boyfriend will get married💍

You are beautiful and incredibly strong. Literally cried as you were reading the letter. Thank you.

You're so strong. My mom died in June of cancer after fighting for five years. This made me cry.

Hi Megan, my name is Kate. First I want to say congratulations and well done. I know what it's like to battle this enemy because in 2013, at the age of 12. I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma bone cancer. I went through the hair loss, nausea, fatigue, weight loss, GI sores; I went through it ALL. So coming from someone who is also a survivor, congratulations! You live today because of how hard you fought, and even if you fell and felt like crap, you got back up! I just celebrated my 5 years off treatment and 5 years cancer free. Make your milestones something waited for!!

This is 😭 sad, Megan I hope that you are doing amazing right now

I’m so proud of you. This reminds me so much of my experience with my dad last year. He was diagnosed in February of 2017. I was his chemo and radiation buddy. Your emotional journey reminds me so much of his. Your strength reminds me of his and warms my heart 💜

Best, most meaningful video on As/is

Damm she looks perfect with hair, without hair, and just overall we love you ok😍❤

Girl you are so brave for putting this up, thank you.

I love your curly hair but you are looking so good without it too I think!

I cried so hard 😭

All respect ! I’m sorry for what u’ve been through , but so proud of u , how u took ur experience and turned it into a light for other cancer patients , what u did is amazing and so brave !

I was born with a brain tumor and was diagnosed at 5. I went through 6 years of chemo and I had to take 8 pills a day. It sucked but I appreciate what I went through to get better. I still have an MRI every 3 months and labs but I appreciate what it does for my health. And I’m 17 now.

My mother’s best friend died a few months ago from pneumonia/leukemia (it was the pneumonia that killed her in the end, and she kept getting infections because the cancer weakened her body), and she was only 28 years old. She had the biggest, bluest eyes anyone has ever seen. Damn I miss her, she was like another mom to me.

One of the most powerful letter anyone ever wrote to own self. You are one brave fighter woman sis ! Lots of love for you ❤️❤️❤️

Made me cry of sadness and of happiness in the end, girl you are so brave, so powerful and I wish you all the best, you are inspiration!!

Omg when I looked at the thumbnail I was like, isn’t that the girl with the gorgeous curly hair? It was. Cancer is such a scary thing, she’s so strong for talking about it with the world. God bless her and everyone else who has to go through this.❤️❤️❤️

Everyone who's suffering and battling cancer, i'm sending so much love and strength to you ♥

OMG MEGAN! I went to college with you, i unfortunately had to remake my fb i lost my emails and couldnt log in. I'm glad you are on the path to recovery, I was in Phi Tau at csuf and i believe you were ZTA . I hope only the best, i randomly stumbled upon a couple videos in my youtube. Praying for you ! Glad to hear the update tho ! - Spencer C

thank you for sharing your story with thousands of strangers, we’re all rooting for you!

I work on a surgical unit at a hospital, every day I help take care of people fighting cancer. I just spent the last 5 minutes bawling like a baby. You are so strong, thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Wow my Grandma has been fight colon cancer for 7 years now and she never lets us now how she truly feels and this made me realize everytime she says she "fine" she really just wants to be strong for us

YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING; SO PROUD OF THE JOURNEY!

THIS is the best story and presentation i've ever seen. You are a true warrior!

I got cancer at 9 and now I'm 14 and a survivor ;) and this video I LOVE because I understand the pain

I have stage 2 reoccurring thyroid cancer. Found out when I was 19 I’m 24 now. Keep fighting girl!

*WIG SNATCHED* Edit: she snatched her own wig

Megan looks so dang good with really short hair. It’s like breathtaking. Like she has such a pretty face

Now these are people that deserve to have amazing lifes

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 8 and had to go through chemotherapy. She had been free of cancer for 5 years when it can back around June of 2018. She’s doing better than ever but will probably never be free from cancer. Anyone looking at her wouldn’t know she was going through a tough time and she won’t let it stop her. Cancer doesn’t stop us, it makes us stronger.

So heartbreaking to see people go thru this.

You did it you lived! You are strong, and brave, and beautiful. I hope you have an amazing future and an amazing life.
