TUMOUR HAS GROWN!! *cancer* 

hi my loving tiffanythinks family. I am so sorry for not updating straight away, I got results on Friday 4th and I just need some time to process everything. I have been so anxious & scared. I really don’t know what to say. I guess I just had a bit of hope in August that I wouldn’t need surgery but the scans have all come back different to the last time. PLEASE remember to live your life, be kind and do things that make YOU happy. I love you lots my tiffanythinks family. we got this💙

Tiff, I was 20 years old when I got diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the small bowel. I went in for an exploratory surgery and woke up with an ileostomy and a pretty big bowel resection. I had chemo and radiation as well. My team had the same misgivings about performing an ileostomy on a 20 year old girl. However, cancer had wrecked havoc on my family and other family members previously and we all agreed we wanted to have the surgery ASAP. I am 44 now, I am married, and was able to have 2 girls. I became a nurse after my cancer because I want to bring awareness about prevention and early intervention. Everything has a solution if you act quickly. Please do not wait. Do not be afraid of LIFE… in any way GOD gives it to you!!! WE GOT THIS!!! NOW!!!

I had my stomach removed due to gastric cancer just over 2 years ago. Yes - life after surgery is different. Cancer is not a bump on the road, it is truly a fork and things are never as they were before the surgery. I had to grieve the person I was before, before I could begin to rebuild and celebrate the person I am now. I am of course, profoundly grateful to be alive, but there is no understating the difficulties. It would dishonor the journey to minimize how very difficult it all was. Today, I am healthier than before the cancer. I am going to the gym and rebuilding my strength. I am stronger in so many ways than before the surgery. Embrace every moment. Process your grief, your fear and your anger and get through. Prayers to you.

I had this surgery in 2004, I was 40 years old. It took 3 surgeons 12 hours. The blessing is that you will get through this. I made the decision to live and enjoy life.

As to questions, my physician brother said to remind you Tiffany that answering all your questions IS your medical team’s JOB. You are never bothering anyone. He says it’s only wisdom to be wanting to know every aspect of your status!!! He is pulling for you all the way!!

Thank you for letting us know. You have the support of over 79,000 virtual family members. Sending you all my love ❤

Hi Tiffany, I was 33 when they found my cancer in the bowel. I had surgery and had a colostomy done. Then had radiation I chose not to have chemo I felt it didn't fit for me. I have a awesome family and hubby . I am now 57 and I have traveled all around the world and have a wonderful life , cancer doesn't define who I am and my body is what it is and it's a reminder I am alive and happy. All our love ❤ Shar and family.

Ah Tiffany, it wasn't what you or anyone else wanted to hear but like you said it is what it is. I was 29 when I had a huge neurosurgery operation lasting just over 12 hours. The week leading up to it was very stressful. But like you, I had no choice. My little boy was only a year old. I was in a brain injury rehab hospital for 7 months after surgery & had to learn to do everything again. Walking was a huge milestone that happened months down the track after a lot of hard work, but there were many other milestones just as big along the way. I never really thought I'd be well enough to return to work or look after my little boy on my own again but I did. Everything I've done since then is a bonus. That Neuro team gave me my life back. They were the most incredibly dedicated men & women I've ever met. Right now I'm sure you don't want to think about how you will be after surgery. It's life altering & very difficult to go into when you can't physically see something on the outside that needs such radical treatment. I kept thinking they'd realize during the surgery that I didn't really need to be there & I'd wake up & go home! But I did need it & in my case if I had waited even a few more days the outcome would've been very different. That's what kept me going every single day. I'd been given a second chance. My sister flew over to be with me & became my lifeline. She looked after my son & came to see me 4 times week, every week. I was a single mum, living in a country thousands of miles from my family and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. If I can do it, anyone can. You have the best attitude of anyone I've ever seen, you are like a hand of steel in a silk glove. And you have an incredible support team ♥️. You know this will be difficult but you are not on this journey alone. You have yet to meet the inspirational people that will work so hard to get you back fighting fit again. You WILL get there! Sending you love, compassion, understanding and lots & lots of hugs 🤗 You've definitely GOT THIS! ✔️✔️✔️

Your Matt is a gem, level headed and practical with no false sentimentality. You are so lucky to have him by your side.

Tiffany my girlfriends husband had this type of surgery 5 years ago and is still doing well. He was actually her boyfriend back then, the surgery allowed them to have a future! Your future may look different then you expected, but with all the loving support of friends, family and your u-tube family, you’ve got this! So many of us are praying for you! Btw: Your gnome is so cute, I really like him.

Waiting over nine weeks no treatment was was wrong decision should've had surgery back then now you have new growth hopefully they will be able remove the tumor Tiffany.

I found you when I too was diagnosed with colon cancer around the same time as you and came to the internet for support, help and information and just to find someone who might be going through the same thing. I'm just here crying watching this and knowing the fear you are feeling. You ARE stronger than you even know! But this is not an easy journey. Let yourself cry and please lean on your wonderful support system. Amma and Matt are there for YOU! They love you and can handle it! One day at a time sweet girl 💙💙 WE GOT THIS! GODS got you!

I'm so relieved you can still have the surgery! My mom had rectal cancer and was told surgery was not an option, so that is wonderful news that you can get rid of this cancer! My moms advice was just live in the moment and do what needs to be done for that day, and try not to let your mind go to the next day. Take it one day at a time. I'm reminded when you first found out you had cancer, the picture of Jesus fell out of yoyr Bible. I believe he was showing you he is with you through this process. Hang onto your faith in God and the Love of family to get you through this as I know you are. You Got this, but most importantly, God's got YOU!

Please all, let's be supportive and carefully think about what we say because this is a brutal time for Tiffany and, IMHO, being positive and being supportive is the best way to help her and yourself be a better person. Armchair comments and judgment calls are really not helpful and can be really harmful. Let's show some real love for her bravery and her compassion. All of us need love and a great way to get it - is to give it.

Please, please, please, PLEASE! SEEK OUT A THERAPIST! What you are going through is incredibly difficult and traumatizing. Having someone to work this out with is so important! Please do this for your mental health!!

Dear Tiffany, take a step back and look at what you just shared with us. You got some very hard news, but within hours, you, your sister and your Matt were rallying, dusting yourself off and talking about getting yourself stronger for this next step in your battle...another step....tick, tick, tick. We got this! 💙🙏💙🙏💙 Much love from Indiana, 🇺🇸

Hi Tiffany I'm so happy to hear that the Cancer has not spread and you're still operable! I just wanted to let you know that I started watching your cancer journey before cancer touched my life at all. Within the time I started watching you my brother and I were diagnosed with different cancers both in our 20s!! I truly feel like you were put in my life for a reason. I felt so prepared and knew what to expect because I had been watching your journey 💙. I have a biopsy tomorrow under general anesthesia to find out what kind of lymphoma I have. I am so scared for the anesthesia because I have never had any surgery before. I wish I had someone like you as a friend in real life, nobody really understands what I am going through. My brother is cancer free now after kidney surgery. I am praying so hard for you!! We are here for you!! Love from Canada... I know we will get through this

Just remember, you are NOT alone in this. We are ALL here for you and praying for a speedy recovery.

I would NOT be waiting until the end of the year for biopsy and surgery! I would push back for MUCH sooner!

Tiffany I am going to be brutally honest. Get it removed. I saw the same song and dance with my mother till the doctor waltzed in and said "get you affairs in order, you have max a month to live" I know it is harsh but you have to be laser focused on saving your life. You are such a doll of a human being. Remember you are just another folder on their desks and this is your life. Much love and you got this.

I am loving all these stories of recovery from cancer. Darling Tiffany, my friend's father had complex surgery for bowel cancer when he was 68 ... There were many concerns, not least because of his age. He lived to be 98. You've got this... We've got this! 💕💕💕

Matt is such a sensible guy. What a blessing to have him.

You are incredible and such an inspiration. Stay strong for this final hurdle - all 79,000 of us are cheering you across the finish line!

Your Mama did such a wonderful job raising you two girls. You are both such a credit to her. I’m so happy that the cancer is still operable and hasn’t spread. Life will be challenging after surgery for a while, but with your determination and optimism and Matt and Amma and your extended family you can live a long, rewarding and fulfilling life. There will be professionals and services there to support you. I’ve watched your long journey with heartfelt hope. Bless you, Tiffany. Stay strong but lean on your loved ones and us when you need to. Love from Sydney 💙💙

Tiffany, even though surgery may change some physical attributes, it does not have to change who you are. You are embraced because of your positivity and love for others and life. When the cancer is gone and you have recovered, you will still be Tiffany- able to love and enjoy life. 💙

Tiff, you are without a doubt one of the bravest people I’ve ever met in all my 61 years. Your positivity and amazing personality shines through in every video, no matter what this vile disease throws at you. If anyone can beat this, it will be you. Sending love xxx

tiffany dont tell yourself you have to be happy about the surgery it's a life changing one with a hard recovery and you're simultaneously mourning the life you had pre cancer and the future you could've had without it your feelings are valid you can be sad and still know it's for the best

My heart sank after watching the last few moments of this update. Tiff, our focus now is to eat super healthy and high calorie foods to be in the best shape and form for surgery. Did some research for you. Please eat the following for weight gain: 1. Avocadoes 2. Eggs 3. Cheese 4. Chickpeas 5. Brown rice 6. Quinoa 7. Whole wheat breads 8. Lots and lots of water

Matt is amazing and so level headed and what a great partner! Sending you hugs and strength Tiffany and WE GOT THIS!!

***To the comments about just taking out the cancer at time of biopsy: It's more complicated than that. It does not take a team of 5+ surgeons to do a biopsy that are needed for the main surgery. The team of surgeons for the oncological surgery would consist of: Anesthesiology, Urology, Genecology, Gastro, Rectal and myriad OR nurses and assistants. It is a huge, complex surgery and lasts many hours.

I am much older than you (my daughter is older than you), and this summer I had surgery for breast cancer. I was in surgery for 10 hours. I am doing well and my surgeons say they are pleased. You are young, strong, and have more courage than I have. You CAN do this! Please keep us posted if you are able. Everyone really cares.

Hi Tiffany. Sorry the news wasn't what we had all wished for. The tumour may have reared its ugly head again but the positive is it hasn't spread. You have some challenges ahead but you'll rise up to meet them - Biopsy ☑️☑️☑️ Surgery ☑️☑️☑️ Post Op life ☑️☑️☑️ Cancer's ass kicked ☑️☑️☑️ Remember you won't be alone because you've got Matt, Amma, the rest of your family plus over 79,000 in your support network. WE GOT THIS 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙

God bless & be with you sweetheart ❤ You are stronger than you know, as a former oncology nurse, I know what you’ve been through already & you are incredibly strong & brave. People like you, are my heroes, the ones I look up to & greatly respect. Cancer patients walk thru their very own private hells to come out on top, & you’ve got this sweetheart, I believe with my whole heart you will absolutely beat this. Much love & many many prayers . Now go & kick the sh ** outta cancer Tiffany! 🙏🙏❤️❤️💜💜

Love you Tiffany. One day 50 years from now this will all be a memory. You will tell you grandchildren about it.

remember the time when you desperately wanted the surgery to remove the cancer. I think the past couple of months when you thought you wouldn't need it has set you back emotionaly. Just remember how much you want the cancer gone and take it one step at a time. I can't imagine how frightened you are but I'm sure you're going to be fine. Your young, strong and have a great support network with Matt and your family. The next couple of months are going to be so tough on you all bu then you'll start the road to recovery - cancer free. You've got this Tiff xxx

It's good that the surgery will happen. That's what you were wanting from the beginning. Now work on your physical strength and get your body ready for the surgery. This is good news. You've absolutely got this 💙

Hi, Tiffany. Well, all I can think of to say is that you have a HUGE support group that is going to be loving you through this. And having Matt plus your incredible family right there will strengthen you. I was in my early 20s when I had an accident that completely changed my life. I'm now 54 and still living with the results of that accident. It becomes a part of you after a while and you won't remember what it was like to live before the surgery. A different life doesn't mean a bad life. You will adapt and you will thrive. I promise.❤🤗

Having your sister there makes it so much clearer. She clarified things even when you were still confused she explained.

I guess I don’t understand, why are they making you wait AGAIN? They made u wait so long already and it come back and is growing. Why can’t they get u in for surgery asap ? I mean no disrespect, I’m just concerned. Cancer (especially in that area) grows very fast. Are you able to tell them you don’t want to wait?? Please consider talking to your surgeon asap. Sending Love 💜

Not going to lie, I’m gutted for you Tiffany. However, you have the best people around you to get you through this surgery. We got this 💙

I have no idea how you manage youtube and dealing with all this. You are an incredible lady. I have been thinking of you since Thursday, wondering how it went, worried as there was no celebratory insta post. So glad you had your sister and Matt there to help you process and take in the info and Mum around too. You can do this Tiffany, so much to look forward to, just a very tough bit to get through first but if anyone can do it, it’s you! We are all here 100% please continue to shine like the bright star that you are and stay strong. We need you Tiffany! Get the Xmas decks up so you can recover with sparkle all around you ☑️☑️☑️Big huge love to you and your wonderful family ❤️xxx

My friend at 26 went through almost your same journey. Had the surgery and is now 43 with a new baby. We got this Tiffany!

I can see Tiff next year around this time with her beautiful smile being so excited for Christmas. Letting us all know she is feeling great and even though it will be a challenging journey her bright light will shine and life will be hers. We got this! 💙

Life after surgery is going to be LIFE !!! I’m sorry you are going through all of this. But I am happy you get the chance to have life saving surgery. You got this beautiful Tiffany❤

My precious Tiffany: I wish so much I could wrap you in a big comforting hug and take away your worry. I know this was not the news you were hoping for, but you appear to have a wonderful surgeon and your support system is so good. While we cannot take away your pain, please know that you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers. WE'VE GOT THIS!!! We love you so much.

Aww big hugs to you! My sister had the surgery and she had stage 4 colorectal cancer. She is almost 12 years cancer free, works full time as a nurse, yes she has a colostomy bag. She can do everything she did before Cancer and has a wonderful life! Don’t think the worst yet, we got this 💙

Hey Tiffany!! My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. But you got this girl! Life may be very different after the surgery, but thank God, you will still have life! We have been with you during this cancer journey, and we will continue to be there for you after the surgery. Your support system (Ama, Matt, your sister and the rest of the family) is amazing! So I would encourage you to have a good cry, and then take one day at a time ! I constantly pray for you Tiffany and will continue to do so - before, during and after the surgery! WE GOT THIS - God is still in control!

Bless you Tiffany im so sorry youre having to go through this. You have absolutely GOT this and we are all here for you every step of the way xx

Darling girl, hearing about treatment going forward in more or less concrete terms was probably quite a sobering thing. And, I think I heard Matt say this, the good news is that there are still treatments available. This will certainly be a defining point in your life and we all love and support you to the utmost.

Tiffany, I love your attitude! I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 44 almost 12 years ago, had a 10 hours surgery and I am so grateful that I am still alive. You have so much to fight for and a wonderful family to support you. You got this! Take care of your self, eat well, exercise and prepare por the surgery because the recovery if brutal but worded! I will be praying for you and your love ones.

You do have this Tiffany, you really do. And in times like this when you feel like you don’t, we will remind you ❤

Please get the surgery ASAP. You've done your best to follow the process and I know it's life changing operation but it's going to keep you here until you're old and you will have kids with Matt in any way possible. You've been too nice Tiffany, now it's time to kick ass. Sending all my love. X

Tiffany you know WE GOT THIS!!!! Now onto surgery and recovery WE GOT THIS we are here for you all together! Sending my luv and prayers to be strong and a cancer warrior who will fight with all your might all of us together we are the army! 💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏

Please darling, as someone who could be your mom, don't keep her in the dark. She needs to know exactly what is going on. She deserves to know. Love you! ❤️

I stick with my initial opinion you should have had that surgery since day one they offered it to you. I know is not my position or my decision but if i had something bas as Cancer in my body and they want to take it out i would definetely take it out the sooner the better wasting no time and preventing from getting bigger or spreading

we so got this tiff, life will be a bit different recovering from surgery but it will feel so so so so good to know it is finally out of you, it'll be a weight off your shoulders and you'll be able to put your mental energy fully into your recovery

You’ve got this Tiffany! Focus on what you can change, drink water, up your calorie intake, go on walks. In the end, your surgical team will do what has to be done. It’s not going to be easy, you know it. But if anyone has the strength to go through this it is YOU!

Watching this back now its astonishing how misinformed all three of you were leaving that appointment. Matt saying the surgeon was confused by the scans when a few videos later Tiffany said the surgeon came to see her before the biopsy and told her regardless of the biopsy surgery needs to be done because the scans were conclusive. Maybe Matt misheard conclusive and thought the surgeon said confusing 🙄

Sorry to hear the tumor has grown, I remember the plan is basically the same. You're still able to get surgery. Yes, life will be difficult and different after surgery but you will have a life after surgery and that's what's important. Be thankful that it is operable. Many people hear that their cancer is inoperable and yours isn't and a different life than what you have now is better than no life. Stay strong. We got this 💙💙💙💙

Tiffany you have not left my thoughts over the last few days, thank you so much for sharing this news with us. You are surrounded by love and as always, WE GOT THIS! 💙💙💙

Dear Tiffany, I can't even imagine how bad you are feeling right now. I'm so sorry for you, and seeing you that upset is really hard.Take your time, write your bullet journal to clear your thoughts - that is what always helps me the most. And hey! Your surgeon is going to remove THIS. Please, enjoy your favorite time of the year (it is mine too), make your place the coziest ever, and feel save and warm. You are in my thoughts and prayers (and all of you struggling with your health). All the best to all of you.We got this !

Watching this video brought me this awful feeling in my chest of anxiety 😓because I can see your nerves and I remember exactly how I felt every time my mom had a scan, every appointment... It is the worst feeling ever, and even now that my mom has passed away, I still can remember it and I just want to hug you so tight. YOU GOT THIS! I know you do❤

This is right for you! This surgery is opening up a future for you to embrace. We all love you.❤

I saw the titel and had tears in my eyes. I never cry for a youtuber. You are so special and strong Tiffany. You got this!

We're all here with you Tiffany. It's positive they can do the surgery, you're young and strong, we got this!!

Matt and your sister speaking some positive words to you Tiffany is the sweetest thing ever 🥺 we truly got this since we as your internet family are all in this journey with you. We got this 🫂

Beautiful Tiffany, your light shines so bright that cancer doesn’t stand a chance against you. ❤

You are the definition of a pillar of strength! We are here for you! Sending so much love your way ❤

Matt is absolutely brilliant and he will love making sure you have all the yummy food and fun strengthening you need before the surgery. It is so much information but you all did so well talking about it together in the car, helping each other see the positive and allowing your RU-vid family to send you all so much love and support!!! You can go buy lots of cozy socks and jumpers for afterwards too! Your being scared is what any of us would feel and you can count on all of us around the world to send you love and light everyday! 🙏🏻💖💜💙💙💙💙💙💙

It's good you have so many people to support you, and of course your wonderful mom, you are so blessed to have her. :) It's going to suck, and I say that because my husband has gone through two stage 4 cancers, the last one was throat cancer, and had a 13 hour surgery to make a new throat. But that was a year ago, and so far so good, you are young and will heal fast, you really got this! :)

So sorry the tumour is back 😪Sending lots of strength , love and prayers ❤ it may not feel like it right now, but we got this ❤

I’m so sorry you didn’t get the results you were hoping for. You are so strong and inspirational. I had a major bowel resection six weeks ago if ever you want to talk x

You deserve to feel everything…gratitude, sorrow, confusion, etc. I could see how strong you were being for your family. As you’ve said, the surgery will be life altering, so you deserve to grieve the body you have known before you accept the body you‘ll be in post-surgery. Sending prayers for strength, peace, love, and faith. 🙏🏻 ❤💙

You are amazing and your way of dealing with your hardships is inspirational. I know this must be extremely difficult to share but I hope you never stop. I don’t have cancer but 2022 has been the hardest year of my life. I lost a baby, found out my son might have autism and lost my grandfather. Although my struggles are different watching you overcome your battles has left me feeling like I can do the same. I just bought a “We got this’ sweater so I can wear it to all my future hospital/doctors visits with my son. I know the surprising news of the wait and see approach left you feeling like you might be cancer free. And getting this news even though could be expected at some point was extra shocking. I know you got this ♥️ You can do hard things! So much love from the East Coast of Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

Tiffany, know that we are all praying for you! Hopefully everything will be great after the surgery. Just try to smile knowing how many people love you!

Beautiful Tiffany, I am sorry to hear about what a difficult path you will be on for the next year with the complicated surgery and long recovery. Please know that there will be prayers surrounding you from all around the world. You are such a bright light for so many others like myself who are fighting cancer. Cry when you need to, smile when you can, and always remember how very much you are loved. 💙

I’m so sorry it’s not the news you wanted Tiffany, but we will all support you through this. One step at a time. Give yourself that time to grieve and get ready for that last push ahead! Many people are able to lead successful happy lives with the adjustments after surgery. You’ve got this ♥️

The positive in all this is not only that now you have answers, but there is something that can be done. I understand that it's a lot to take in, but soon this will be all over with. The pain from surgery will not last forever and you will be up and running in no time. You've got this Tiffany! And we will be here with you and praying for you throughout the whole process! We love you. Big hugs from Nashville, Tennessee!

I saw that you watched Emily Hayward’s channel and you remind me of her positivity and strength. She once said that she wouldn’t of changed her life because she loved the one she was living and had her soulmate and amazing support system. She said she would rather live a shorter life than one not with the love of her life. You will have a long life because of the surgery even though it is daunting you have so many people who love and care for you! It’s just one more huge TIC TIC!! we all are here for you

Tiffany, I hope you realize what a huge difference you're making in this world. My son-in-law has been quite unwell for months but he's been too stuborn to take time off work to get himself checked properly with the doctor. He's lost over 50 pounds since this all began. A few weeks ago his body finally took the desision out of his hands when he became desperatly ill and in agony while at work.(he's always at work) He still refused to let his co-worker take him to hospital until their job was done. He just lay down in the truck until quitting time, but at least he finally went. They have it narrowed down to two things. It's either crohns or colon cancer. Obviously, we're hoping for crohns. I've been following you since your cancer journey began and I'm so very grateful to you for sharing all this. It's comforting to know what may lie ahead if the tests don't give us the answer we're hoping for.

I don't understand why they trying do biopsy. Just take it out, be done with it. I'm so sorry you have to keep doing this to you. I will be praying for you and your family.

Surgery at the end of the year?? And what if (which is highly likely) it grows even more in that time?! Surgery should be happening urgently. Waiting too long will take you to a point where surgery is no longer an option. I can't help but think that the hospital etc are delaying for a reason 😐

Okay, the results were not what we wanted but there is still hope. Decorate your home for Christmas, visit with family and friends, meditate, pray, follow doctors orders and drink lots of fluid and eat well. Enjoy life. At the end of the year, your fight against cancer will take you on another new journey. We haven't given up, and neither should you. WE GOT THIS 💖

My heart sank when you told us what the surgeon has said about your results . You need to look after yourself. It's amazing that Ann-Marie Buckley has reached out to you, to prove there is definitely life after surgery. To talk to someone who has had lots of surgery, possibly similar, you can ask all sorts of question. More of Matts cooking, cakes and anything yummy. Go for it. Stop this horrible thing in its tracks. You're a fighter and we are all with you! X

Tiffany, I can't tell how happy I am for you to have such an amazing support system, you have a great family. 💙 I am praying for your recovery, we've got this!! 💙

Build yourself up Tiffany for the operation. You are always in my prayers.

oh dearest Tiffany, my heart truly aches for you. it's totally normal to feel every bit as upset as you do, humans are emotional beings and this involves a lot of sadness, worry etc. Of course there's all the hope in the world you'll be great after a long recovery and major period of adjustment. Let yourself have your feelings, come share them with us, but let Matt and maybe your sister too see not just beautiful sunny Tiffany but also vulnerable frightened Tiffany, so they can shower you with comfort. As a fellow cancer patient i know the crazy roller coaster of emotions we go through. My heart bleeds for you because this is such a hard time but i also know you're so strong, you've truly got great support, and you're going to be OKAY!! much love to you

Dear Tiffany, I'm so glad your sister was there to support you and Matt through this appointment, and to ask all the questions that you might understandably miss. It's good news that the surgeon is saying that the surgery is still possible, and although I imagine that it's an extremely hard prospect to face, I note the many people commenting and saying that life was "yes" different but getting through their treatment/surgery allowed them to move forward with the rest of their lives. You've got this! You have a wonderful support system in your personal family and friends and also in your "tiffanythinks" family. Sending big hugs from Carol in Australia

Tiffany once you get rid of cancer it will be a new challenge & a new beginning for life. You can do this. We love you. ! You got this. Much prayers. Strong girl! 💙🦋🦋🦋

I am very sorry Tiffany. Unfortunately I don’t think many realize how radical the surgery will be. At least you know 100% that it has to be done. You have a strong support system even if life looks a bit different post-surgery❤ Agree that you need to prepare for surgery like it’s a marathon. I’m sure you’re going to be in shock for a little while. Would suggest reaching out to a psychologist to talk through such a big surgery, get your emotions out without feeling like you’re burdening you’re family as you mentioned before, etc. Dealing with mortality and big life changes is really tough and most need extra support. The Royal Marston may have a specific program. There is usually a chaplain too that people can talk to.

Hi Tiff, I am reading all of these amazing uplifting comments! I cant believe how much you have come into our lives! We love you! What a geat love that you have built through video and internet! How crazy!! You have been able to touch our hearts and make us your friends no matter where or who we are. What an angel you are! A true messanger of love! You will get 'through this' surgery and move on to a fulfilling life! We know it!!! You will!!! Enjoy these next two months like crazy so that you have lots of memories and joy to think about as you heal. Love love love

It would be impossible for the tumor to have gone away, and then come back this quickly. I believe this is the original cancerous mass. It could be worse Tiffany the Cancer hasn't spread, and they can still operate. The surgery will be life changing and some things might not be able to be reversed, but at least you will still have a life. The alternative is non curable terminal Cancer with a life expectancy measured in months.

I am so sorry you are going through this. But, baffled as to why the Doctor's have been so slow to do surgery. Waiting only lessened the chance to be able to do the surgery?! The confusing part now is doing another difficult biopsy before surgery? And why are they waiting 2 months to do the surgery? I'm sorry, my head is swirling with questions that you probably don't even know...

Sending you so much love and prayers Tiffany. I am so sorry for all that news! So glad you have such a loving and supportive family. You got this💙

I love how supportive Matt and your family are. You have so much love surrounding you and that makes me so happy. I am praying for you and your family. You got this. We got this. 💙

We got this! YOU got this. Matt is right the worst news would've been him saying he cant operate. Focus on getting strong right now. You must feel scared like you're about to head into a battle. You can do this though, we're rooting for you. Life will change a lot but you can adapt, and a chance at life, even if it is totally different with ostomies, etc, is better than death. Take some time to yourself to absorb the information you must be completely overwhelmed.

He’s going to do another biopsy but the issue with that is a tumor can grow 1 millimeter away from the area he biopsies. The scans show a more complete picture. They need to get it out ASAP, waiting shouldn’t be an issue. Why do patients have to wait so long in England? I’ll never understand. I’m a dual citizen with family there and they’ve had to wait months to be seen for suspicious pains. Praying for you sweet girl - please stand up for yourself. 💙we got this💙

I don;t usually comment on you tube, but I have been following your journey for the past few months, and I find your bravery inspirational. I find it also gives others hope, as well as others that comment here who give you hope, if that all makes sense? In many ways you are a big family. For Matt. As a person living in Ireland, you can be proud of the way that you support and love Tiffany during this difficult time, you do it in such a gentle but strong way, and that's what she needs at this moment, as cancer affects everyone, not just those associated with the actual prognosis. Tiffany you have so many people in your corner, with a wonderful extended family. We can only hope and pray that all will be well for you, so I will light a candle for you so that you know you are loved and supported. Try and keep the head up as best you can, but know its ok to feel a bit low too. You got this
