I wish my husband was this open about his cancer journey. He is stage 4 voicebox cancer that has now metastasized to his lungs. Going through brutal chemo, and his lung has collapsed 2x. He won't open up and talk. He just told me he was afraid to die last week. We've been married for 38 years. This has been a hard journey for him and myself. I keep things positive for him when I'm breaking piece by piece watching him struggle. Please keep him in prayer. Thank you for sharing your story of life.
Please ask your husband if he would be open to having someone from a church come speak with him, even if he doesn't believe in God or doesn't belong to a church. He needs to be able to open up to someone and share his fears, regrets in life, and possibly questions about the afterlife. Your husband's care team or social worker should be able to help put you in touch with a Chaplain or give you resources on someone he could speak with privately.
@@southernsass-f3dI second this. Even if you don’t necessarily believe in it, I feel like it would greatly be beneficial. The thought of me dying is no longer a fear of mine. Something that’s going to happen to all of us.
Blood in his stool and no colonoscopy, then letting this poor man go six months, allowing the tumor to grow to the point when they finally do a colonoscopy they can’t even get through the intestinal track because the tumor was so big. God please watch over this wonder couple . Truly godly people. Sending prayers
It’s awful! I’ve heard so many stories like this. It makes me appreciate when I’ve had problems (like GERD) & my Dr immediately orders testing/imaging.
Every doctor is different and there should be one protocol for anything that has to do with blood in stool, bloating, excessive gas, etc. He could have been staged differently had the Dr not waited to screen him. I get screened regularly because my brother was stage four at 54 and passed at 56 and my sister is stage four and diagnosed at 54. She’s now 66. I had my first screening at 48.
@@MMMC-z8y he’s made peace with the fact he’s transitioning soon. It’s not uncommon for people with a terminal condition to be at peace with their approaching death
with the state of the world and being so young/barely having a legacy its now easier to find peace in leaving it. Its the pain of the illness that makes everything scary
Yeah, but at least you don’t have to live the life like I do on a daily basis. I mean, I struggle a lot with My mental health I have autism and a very rare chromosome disorder as well, which causes me to have like psychotic behaviours as well as OCD behaviours To me it’s like I am living a cancer world on its own you know it’s not good you know when I’m not happy A lot of the times But you know I try to be happy. I try to be positive and I just try to do the best I can do you know I try to live my life to the fullest and that’s all you can ever hope for
My best friends’ daughter was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer 6mos after having her 2nd daughter. She fought hard to beat it but 1 & 1/2 years later she lost her battle 🥹😔 Her husband is now a widower w/2 young daughters 🥹😔
Even if you’re not actively dying from cancer or another disease, eventually you have to accept your own mortality. There’s no point in being afraid of something you have no control over. Best of luck to him in his final days.
Fly high buddy when its time. Love that this interview is a little lighter coz it's really hard to endure in real life. You wife is beautiful and supportive. ❤🙏
My now ex had an appointment for a colonoscopy several years ago due to GI symptoms and he was only 34 or 35. He had huge precancerous polyps and the doctor said that had he waited until 50 to get his first routine colonoscopy he would have definitely had stage 4 colon cancer by then. Colon cancer is rare in the 20’s and 30’s but it can happen. I’m so sorry to this beautiful couple
Praying for you dear. My husband has Stage 3 Multiple Myeloma, there is no stage 4 with this cancer. This is his second cancer diagnosis in less than 5 years. He's been fighting for 15 months, he had a stem cell transplant in January to keep him with us longer. He will be on oral chemo and infusions of chemo for the rest of his life. Now, he was diagnosed on his 70th Birthday. I pray for you sweet boy and your lovely wife. I pray you don't have a lot of pain. God bless you always. Love, hugs and light coming your way.
Cancer strikes anybody no matter what ages. Doctors should be more aware of this and screen patients aggressively. Cancer dont care age, race, religion, or any other thing. People please watch your bodies. Im stage 1 CA too. Caught it on time. Always checked yearly.
My father died from colon cancer. His Dr at the time told him that a fecal occult blood test was sufficient. It was not! By the time he was diagnosed, he was stage 4. No One likes a colonoscopy, but trust me, dying of colon cancer is far worse!!!!! My dad had no known risk factors and was in excellent condition. I miss him a lot!!!!!
Red meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Processed meat increases the risk further. A Research in Europe & US pegs high intake of red meat at anything equal to or more than *5* ounces/ abt *142* grams per day . Check National Cancer Institute article -- 'Pattern of DNA Damage Links Colorectal Cancer and Diet High in Red Meat ' . Harvard Medical School also has reports on this. Plenty research papers available. online . Search red meat and colon cancer or anything along the same lines
@nicolaxoxo1 so sorry for your loss. I'm 45 and I've already had two colonoscopies due to stomach issues. I thank God everything came it normal. Get a colonoscopy, it could save your life!!!
As an end of life Doula, I’m so happy you all have openly discussed and planned Tanners end. Why? Because you all can now enjoy your time left and live life to the very fullest as much as possible. Thank you for sharing your fears, tears, joy,pain and appreciation for life and each other!
Doctors need to take patient symptoms more seriously! His doctors waited 6 mos of critically time to finally take him seriously! I hope they sue the doctor for malpractice
He is really a chill dude during the interview and handling his rare stage 4 cancer diagnosis well. I really hope he recovers from it. Once again, cancer sucks big time.
Amazing Man living his life to the fullness with a wonderful loving Lady I've never seen a man with such courage and still smiling with the cards he was Dealt ❤ I'll be praying for a miracle for you 🙏🙏
I just lost my husband on July 11 to cancer. It’s a god awful disease the loss of someone that you love the love of your life. This is traumatic as it gets. I’m a psychotherapist with 30 years of private practice retired. But nothing prepared me For the loss of the love of my life. There’s not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. Thankfully, the good Lord has given me the knowledge that it was a goodbye. It was just see you later. If I didn’t have my faith I would be lost.
Thank God you have faith and a believer of Jesus Christ. I know it must now be lonely but whenever you don't know what to do or feel lonely or scared, just pray and continue to keep your faith. God Bless, Renee`
I feel so bad for this young man and his wife. My mother had colon cancer when she was 51 and she survived it but she passed from Leukemia when she was 85. I have tested positive for blood in that area three times but I won't go through a colonoscopy because of the pain, I am 78 years old and I hope my time is up sooner than later. I hope he can enjoy his life with the time he has left.😢🙏💔❤
Curious what treatment? Only one man is living the longest with brain cancer. Pablo Kelly. He refused chemo, radiation. Because that kills you. I wish doctors would discuss this topic. I refused some treatment and have lived 20 years after cancer.
Agreed. No matter how many times you go to chemotherapy or surgeries to remove it, it always comes back in a year or so. It always does in any part of your body.
came home crying on balcony, listening to good good father by Chris tomlin, and gratitude by brandon lake, wailing my soul out, because I want to be closer to jesus and I don't know how to be, and because I miss and long for Bryan from the very core of my being
Picc lines suck I see him with one and brings me back to when I had mine. I battled sepsis this year I couldn’t imagine battling sepsis and terminal cancer at the same time. My grandfather has stage 4 prostate cancer for over 15 years and still kicking it he did every other treatment besides chemo. I hope he pushes through or at least spend time rest of his life spending time with his family.
I pray for this family & all those in need of prayer & its a good thing they caught it early, so that they could spend time together as a couple & as a family & got to do good stuff while here in this temporary life, why a temporary life well because the real life is Eternal Life with the Creator. The reality is, is that we, all of us, as the audience will not escape this same road of passing away, for most of us, it will be a normal day then in a split second, done, finished. So thank you to this couple of reminding us & the world of what is important in this life & that is to love thy neighbor & to love God. “Hebrews 9:7, It is appointed to all of us to die once and then the judgement.” Jesus is the Way, the Truth & the Life. May the Good Lord Jesus Bless y’all. 🙏😊
This story broke my heart, I lost my Mom to colon cancer a few months ago. It’s so unfair, cancer sucks! My prayers and love go out to this beautiful couple and their families. Colon cancer is not an “old people” disease any longer. I’m proud to see them spreading the word to prevent more undiagnosed cases in our youth.
This wonderful couple gives new meaning to the concept of making the best out of a difficult situation. I wish them every joy and happiness, help in every way they need it and peace wherever and whenever they find it.
Colon cancer took a friend of mine 5 days ago. I’m still torn up about it. She fought a good fight. I had just talked to her and then a week later she was gone 😔
My mom has an issue with her colon too, But hers is not cancer is Called malabsorption it’s where she can’t eat much fatty foods because it’ll go right through her and it’ll come out diarrhoea and yeah so eating calories and that is really hard for her Eating any kind of stuff that has like more fat or more calories Will make her have the diarrhoea right away you know she even says she wakes up in the night sometimes two times sometimes three or four times in the night with diarrhoea that’s how bad it is Her body can not absorb food so she has to be on a very low-fat diet. You know she has to eat very very, very healthy. Otherwise whatever she eats will not stay in her body and that’s why my mom is very very, very skinny as well at times because she eats very, very, very healthy foods with less calories And that
My mum fought for 17 yrs of colon cancer. Every other yr after remission it had moved. Treatment and surgery. When we knew it was over when she lost her last kidney. But she did survive a few months after that one... She went back to the village in Germany we lived in when my dad was in the military... She passed soon after. 17 yrs and six days after my dad's battle with cancer
❤❤❤ This young couple is saying what REALITY is I for one applaud them! With the bad and the good 😊 that comes with LIFE There’s more beyond this LIFE Keeping you both in my prayers and thoughts ❤❤
❤GOD Bless TANNER MARTIN and all his 💕 Loved One's with a Health Healing Miracle Blessing .. in the name of 💜 JESUS CHRIST Holy name we / i Pray 🙏 Amen 😘🥰😍🤩🙏💜🇺🇸✝️✝️✝️😇👍🥺😢
May God save them both, awesome couple, and I pray his days of relative health and wellness will be extended so they can make more precious memories together.
