Dear Lord please give her the courage to keep fighting, you are the healer of the universe and I wish Natasha going forward that the gift of continued quality of life for many many more years to come is in the cards for you. Keep fighting and thanks for sharing your story.
Please stop saying "Fight". Life is not about fighting diseases, but living each day to the fullest even in our weakest moments through treatment and lack of support.
I was diagnosed with a brain tumor at seven years old. I can relate with everything said here. My prayers are with you during this hard time of your life.
Wow, the first thing she said was exactly what I wish I knew. I think I missed out people who would have been willing to help and be there for me. Instead, there were a lot of people I didn’t tell until well after I was done with radiation treatment. The people who knew were those that I had no choice but to tell. I think I was concerned about getting too much negative reaction or too much negativity around me, so I didn’t share. I think I missed out on having even more positivity around me instead. 🤷🏾♀️ But, praise God I got through it! Praying for her full and complete healing and a long healthy life! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Currently battling stage 3 breast cancer and this video was spot on. Add family who support and don’t support you to that list when you need them most. But most of all you find yourself again.
Just floated to the Oncology unit today... I can't do it. I'll take Psych any day. However, when they DO send me there, I learn SO MUCH. Life is SHORT. It puts SO MUCH IN PERSPECTIVE. I'm Dx'd w/Severe Mental Health issues. Nobody reaches out to you. No one wants to discuss or hear about it. When I work the oncology floor, giving a bed bath to someone just a few years older than me whose on her DEATH BED, I realize how little my issues are in comparison. She's on the clock. My labile emotions will NOT kill me. An inoperable brain tumor will kill her and impact her young children for life. (I lost my mom, not to cancer, but I miss her every single day...). Thank you so much for sharing this. I'll pray for your remission. Please pray for mine...
Thinking of you...oh beautiful one!!! My niece had cancer 6 years ago, she literally came back to life from the brink of death. I visited her every weekend for a year. I have to say being part of that experience has made me more emotional. In general, some people's episodes of their life are just non-sensical! And if you don't accept this B.S. life challenge it might emotionally/spiritually kill you--it is such a tough experience. And I felt emotionally exhausted and I was just a stand-by. Furthermore in my niece's situation Cancer robbed her of her fetility but at least she is alive, with long, thick afro hair up to mid back length! And I hope every woman of child bearing age, if possible is always given the choice of freezing healthy eggs. Her Cancer when discovered was too advanced so she was never given the choice. I am ranting now....I really hope you come through! And you lead a good future!
My sister was given that choice to freeze her eggs, Loma Linda Hospital. She had a pituitary tumor at 21, and thyroid cancer at 14. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you...Most people don't truly live their life until they are confronted with death. Your story opened my eyes as to how precious life is and that we must live each day like it is our last day....I pray you live a long and healthy life. Much love T
I'm glad she spoke about ghosting. 90% of us with cancer have family and/or friends ghost us. I also like the fact she touched on a sense of being alone, esp as a young person. Although I was 30 when first diagnosed with cancer then stage 4 at 35...Counseling has helped so much, but my faith is the #1 factor. I do not allow this thing to consume me nor prevent me from my well deserving joys. This woman is such an inspiration, may the Lord continue to give her healing.
I hate when people talk about cancer as a battle, and act like patients have to “fight” it. What does that even mean? It’s a disease process, and it either responds to treatments or it doesn’t. The patient doesn’t have control over that. It’s unfair to make patients feel like it’s their fault if the treatments don’t work - as if they weren’t strong enough or didn’t “fight” hard enough. Cancer patients shouldn’t have to feel like they’ve got to be brave, or act as a positive role model for others, or that they have to be some kind of a hero. Being sick is exhausting, it can be disgusting, it can be time-consuming, it’s expensive… It is simply not fair to impose on people who are sick they idea that they have to be or act a certain way to make other people feel better.
Your attitude can have a huge impact on the hormones in your body and a healthy immune system requires a healthy balance of hormones and that can make a small difference. It doesn't mean that anybody should feel inadequate or feel like they should have to put on a happy face every day but you want to have an efficient body as possible to help you and to have a healthy mind for anyone is a huge part of any recovery battle
As someone who is currently battling stage 4 cancer my mental health plays a big impact on my overall health. Everyday is in fact a battle and I can choose to either give in to to this wretched disease or keep kicking it’s ace and live intentionally with purpose and not let cancer get the best of my days here on earth. I choose the latter to keep fighting until the day I breathe my last breath.
I agree 100 percent! Just love and support your loved one going through cancer. My cousin had bone cancer, and he wanted us to just treat him normal, not like he was sick, and we did. He was so strong all the way up to the end..😩
No matter the who, what, when, why or how some of us that may be cancer free at the moment could precede this Beautiful young woman. We know NOT what he knows. Praying for you, Natasha & all of us.🙏🏿🙌🏾
I’m the same way. There’s life pre-stroke and life post-stroke. I also learned how to put myself and my health issues first. Life is frightening but life is beautiful too. I definitely am not ready to leave it yet. Good luck to you! ❤
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
PRAYING 🙏 FOR YOU AND YOUNG LADY I'M SO SAD TO HEAR YOU SAY SOME OF YOUR NEAREST FRIENDS WILL LEAVE YOUR SIDE WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST. DON'T EVER GIVE UP NO MATTER WHAT MAN SAYS GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY IN ALL THINGS. ❤ PEACE AND GOD BLESS YOU FROM SAGINAW MICHIGAN DONTOONS
I've been in remission from cancer for two years. I'm praying for your body to heal and recover from this deadly disease. You continue to stay strong and live your life to its fullest potential.
I pray that this beautiful young woman beats this horrible disease. In fact, I know that she'll beat it. It's so sad how people leave you when you need them most after you disclose that you're dealing with certain things. It's not contagious yet people will treat you as you have a contagious disease. So sad but like she said it also makes you realize who really cares about you and who doesn't. Stay strong and keep fighting.
Thank you for sharing your story! 🙏 Don’t know what else to say. I have a friend going through stage 4 cancer who is at the end of treatments. Go, Natasha!
My heart truly hurts 😢😢 my uncle died one year ago from this Sunday after battling cancer. I have to say he had the most genuine friends stick with him through it all. May God give this beautiful young lady so much courage, strength, happiness and love inside and out and from the world she walks through today. May you be healed and the journey is not over. ❤❤❤ I wish I can give her a huge hug 😢
Your beautiful❤ While I can empathize with illness, not cancer and I hate toxic positivity so I won’t say anything regarding that. Having an autoimmune disease has also showed me how shallow people can be and it is hurtful. And people judge those of us fighting invisible illnesses. You have more friends than many with or without illness so consider yourself blessed. Those who shy away from illness need to understand that it could be them. No one is immune to it. Ask yourself how you would feel if it where you before you ghost someone due to an illness. Anyway, I love your resilience and the fact that you are still living and thriving as best as you can. In enjoying your life to the fullest, you are serving one of your purposes. You have inspired me. Shine on beautiful, vibrant queen. Will diligently be praying for you. 🦋 ❤🙏🏽💐
I COULD HAVE NOT SAID IT BETTER MYSELF! I am also going through a cancer journey and EVERYTHING you said is what I have been feeling. False Friends being lonely and saying NO. God sees everything and wants the best for you. Be Blessed ❤
Hi Natasha, I don't know if you will ever see this, but I want you know that your story was very inspiring and so relatable. You helped me today. And im sure that your message has helped others--with or without cancer--to keep going another day. I will keep you in my thoughts, and I pray for your recovery and continued strength to fight this awful disease. ❤🙏🏾😊
Yound lady, you are such a a bright light! What a strong, intelligent, emotioinal and all the astonishing adjectives in between. I pray for the continued strength in your journey; meeting amazing people; surpassing goals. Thank you for your undeniable bravery in sharing your story. May the Lord continue to keep you, comfort you and heal you!!!
