Heres some cancer humor for you all. One day I was on my way to my Oncologist, it was time for my 2nd round of chemo medication. It was actually a LOT worse than the first 4 but either way I had no hair and I couldn’t stand for people to feel sorry for me so I always wore a cranial prosthesis🤣😂🤣 aka a wig so I’m headed to the highway and I get pulled over by a police officer and he tells me that I’m going 3, yes 3 miles over the speed limit. I said no sir I did not. I’m sorry. That’s when I reached up to the top of my head and pulled my wig off in one big swoop. I thought he would die. Right there on the other side of my door. On the highway. I said i have breast cancer and I’m headed to a chemo treatment so I guess I wasn’t paying attention. He says, you have a good day man.😬
Angie Cates That made me laugh out loud 😂 My poor mum kept getting mistaken for a man at the hospital during her last few months. She was too weak to laugh or care but she'd give my brother and I 'that look' and we'd be creased with laughter. Not sure how wiping your eyes from laughter, while standing next to your terminally ill mum in the hospital, looks to other people 😱🙄 but am sure others can relate 😅!
I have the same problem with steroids too. They make me feel so strange. Hang in there. Honestly seeing you get up and do what you do everyday makes me keep going so thank you!
You’re so brilliant for making these videos. When I had cancer 7 years ago , I desperately wanted to learn about fellow cancer sufferers’ experiences to find out what to expect and generally not to feel so isolated through my cancer journey. Thank you for making these daily videos - you truly are wonderful xxx
The Hayward-Hasans are the only videos I get instant notifications for and I stop whatever I'm doing to watch. Watched this parked up at a Happy Chef on the way from Brum to Nottingham. Probably looked like I was waiting on a drug deal. Think I need help with my obsession...
Tom Ripley agreed! I think her absolutely amazing strength and her positivity/love for life has made the cancer effects stay at bay. I send her daily "positive vibes" and I hope she receives them.
Steroids can be a blessing and a curse. When I'm on them, I can't sleep and get grouchy. They also make me crave salty foods like crazy! I know you are on way stronger dosages than I take. Stay strong sweet girl! Remember, you are a miracle and a blessing to us all!
You really cram in a lot in one day! Workouts, socializing with great friends, fooooood. I feel so lazy! You literally live life to the fullest Emily! ❤ ❤ ❤
Emily you are such an inspiration. You're young enough to be my granddaughter but you inspire me. I have poor health and lot's of pain and was feeling a bit sorry for myself when I discovered your vids a couple of months ago. You have inspired me to get out and walk regardless of the pain. I just keep telling myself if you can do it so can I. So you see, your daily vids do inspire even us oldies. Much love from Australia.
Steroids can be the worst nightmare. I cannot take them. I was ready to be institutionalized . I am amazed at how well you are tolerating them. Let your Doc know and maybe they can work it out to a better level. You are a hero Emily, truly.
Good evening Girl's, had to pop in to see how you both are and to say hello. Isn't it glorious when the sun comes out ( yes sunscreen always, always no excuses,) it makes us all feel a little brighter, it was a very long Winter. Fantastic to see you chilling in the garden, its vital for us all to learn to switch off, unplugging from the mainstream madness, that constant pressure of meeting targets, goals, finishing jobs, collecting the children, getting the house tidy, remembering everything, crossing all the T's and dotting the I's can be exhausting. It is essential for our well being to relax with loved one, friends and family.sending you vibes of peace and light. Xx
I just adore the two of you. You inspire me in so many ways. I've shared your videos with my 9year old son, and some friends, to share your optimism and positivity and strength with others. I too stop WHATEVER I'm doing to watch your videos. Thank you for taking time every day to share your life with us. I mean it. I am learning from you daily, I enjoy watching you both, keeping up with your journey. I am praying for you to have peace in your heart and mind, strength in your body, and praying for painless, symptom-free days full of happiness and love for you both. Sending love and good vibes from Peoria, Arizona (USA)
Watching your videos everyday IS my mood stabilizer! Thank you for allowing the world a window into your life and the life of people with cancer. You have given many patients a voice, and loved ones a way to understand cancers impact. I'm an oncology social worker in the US, and the lessons I learn from you I bring into my interactions with patients here. Thank you Emily.
When I had cancer and chemo I was on steroids. I felt all speedy, it was yuk. Hard to sleep, jittery. Then the crash was the worst part by a mile. I hope you’re ok. I am always excited to wake up to a new vlog from you. Love from NZ.
Hi both, I haven’t commented before but have been following for a week or so. My god. You girls are amazing. Everything that is current and positive. You have the most incredible attitude and I’m blown away. I’m a granny and cannot imagine where you find your strength. I will follow you forever and, I know it sounds ridiculous, love you both so much. I look forward to your posts and wish I really knew you. I have a stupid, pointless sales job which provides zero emotional sustenance and every day day I hate it. You are inspirational and always make me realise how pointless my lifestyle is. I WILL change this. All love to you xx
I found the worst part of steroids was the way it took away my sleep at night. And that causes the days to feel very off. I think I was a weirdo when my hair was falling out-I pulled it out myself one afternoon because it felt sooo horrible, like a pony tail gone too tight and twisted the wrong way. It felt better out! All the best tomorrow, Emily, with your hair. Your positivity will take you a long way. Hugs from Canada.
Ur doing so well Emily ur braver than me and My grandad had the same problem dizzy numbness ect after radiotherapy and steroids it eventually wore of give it time he panicked as he couldn’t feel his hand ect but it’s all come back think it’s still working it’s magic on u hope it get better ❤️🙌
Morning Beautiful ladies, So sad to hear about the side effects of your meds Em...with regards to knowledge of these, I can’t advise as I don’t know? Any close family member of mine with the same struggle as yours never really talked about it...I’m guessing it was because they didn’t want to talk about it like yourself and also because didn’t want to upset/worry us more than we were 😢 I shaved my mother in laws hair off during her treatment..I was a mess as usual (proper wimp ) and she was consoling me lol...her once straight/fine hair grew back thicker and curly 😳 Your hair will grow back beautiful! I’ll be thinking of you today Em more than usual lol...😍 Lots of Love, Kisses & Cuddles to you and Aisha and your families too 😘😘😘😘 Karen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx💖
Youre such a lovely, inspirational girl Emily. Youre a fighter and you dont let things get you down. You should be very proud of yourself, I am very proud of you and I havent even met you! Keep fighting xxxxx
Prayers for you. I think you deserve all the best the world has to offer; stay strong and thank you for being you! You don’t need hair for people to see the beautiful and amazing person you are ❤️❤️❤️
I look out for your videos everyday,I put the telly in my living on hold so I can give it my full attention which the rest of the family go mad. Love you both xxx
I am watching your vlogs and I am very invested. I am lurking but I am going to make myself known now because I am actually astounded by how you're dealing with this. I know it's only a few minutes out of your days and we will never really know the extent of the effects behind closed doors, but your positivity and your get-up-and-go attitude is helping me through a particularly vicious bout of depression. You're a truly inspirational person in so many ways and watching your vlogs are a pleasure. I've laughed and cried in equal measures and you making me feel something is helping me. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and I love your positivity, your vulnerability and your openess. Sending lots of love.
Yeahhh steroids are crazy, my last lot was for vertigo (which was apparently un MS related as no new lesions on the brain were found), but they gave me soo much energy i was on a mad one. Couldnt sleep, would get up at 6 in the morning, eat EVERYTHING and then go gym haha the energy was great but they make everything so intense and i was very shakey. Glad to see you feeling better, keep going girl x
Yes, I was on a massive dose after transplant and it was like every single nerve ending was humming... like magnetic... I felt like even the slightest movement I could feel as if I were sitting next to a concussive explosion. The mood settlers.... they take a while to normalize which is why you CANNOT abruptly stop them. Your brain will begin to use the meds in the proper way about two weeks after starting them. There are LOADS of different types and if this particular one isn’t cutting it, there are others. I went from seroquel to celexa and found that the celexa is my happy place, so to speak. It could be too high a dose, but wait out to the two week mark then bring it to your GP if it’s still off. I understand the hair part... I lost mine so many times and it’s nothing like it was before leukemia and the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. I’m a true medical chimera!
Totally love you guys .you are such an inspiration Emily .just started watching recently and can't believe how you both deal with what life is throwing at you .you are totally amazing. Two very special people xx
Emily. I had bad side effects from steroids also. Very jittery inside. Nightmares. Just felt like my mind and body were racing. It will get better but it is awful. It’s always great to see you two beautiful girls. (Married women). Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way!❤️
The warmest hello from Canada!Been praying for A & E - and am grateful you are sharing your journey of life with us!Inspiration, would be only one, of so many words to describe your attitude towards life. It feels a bit odd to care so much for for two amazing strangers - I'm hooked and I pray we will be watching for years to come !
When I subscribed to your channel it was around 15 thousand subscribers to see it now over 30 thousand is amazing your my favourite RU-vidr as you show people to never give up stay strong 🤘
Em, you are a true inspiration 💞 I've been binge watching your videos and I love your energy, way of living and love for life. Can't believe you are gone now, such a big loss for all of us. I wish all your loved ones and especially Aisha all the love and strength in the world. You are amazing 😘💞
Lovely to see you two beautiful souls enjoying every single day. You inspire us all so very much Emily. Hope tomorrow brings you less trouble with the numbness issue sweetheart. Love you both millions xx❣️❤️❣️xx
Hang in there until your therapy hits its peak. It's bound to make you feel strange; your brain was radiated, and you are likely to experience associated neurological symptoms. Additively, you are also feeling symptoms related to the high steroid load. Think of it as the manifestation of the assault on those pesky tumours! Great to see you enjoying yourself with family, and good friends! All the best from Southern Ontario, Sherrey💗🍓💗
You are MY Rock. You are so Solid in everything. Your attitude is like that of someone who knows the secret to life. I hang on your every word and you have changed the way I look at life. From Oregon USA. Peace
I'm glad as always to see you two on the go living life and getting stuff done. I'm going to be sad to see your hair go but hey.. it's just hair and you know what? After all this it'll grow back! You'll rock the new look with all your sweet hats you have. Even with no hat, still beautiful. Xx Kelly from Glace Bay nova Scotia Canada
Well done girls so in awe of your positivity, i look forward to your vlogs really makes my day to see you looking so well, good luck with the hair cut you will rock it! Xxx
Love watching your vids Em. You and Aisha are the bomb! I feel super charged when I have ever had to be on steroids. Not a fun feeling Hoping the numbness resolves itself! Keep on Keepin' on! You are doing great!

Keep thinking positive and getting on with life! Sending much love to you both! Such an inspiration and so nice that you have warm sunny weather! Enjoy ♥♥♥
Keep on pushing on Emily. Glad you are sharing your challenges and your successes. It's important to your subscribers but it's even more important to you. You are both physically and psychologically fit. Keeping it real. You rock girl!!!
Em don’t worry bout ur hair. You’re such a beautiful lady and so pretty you’re hair or lack of it won’t make any difference. Keep up the positivity and keep doing what you’re doing cause we all love you
Koodos to you for being true and honest about how the hand makes you feel - that is hard to talk about so giving you support :) Also good luck with the haircut! Just one new look to take over :) own it cause you will rock it!!
total admiration for you guys, can't believe the weights you were lifting Emily, your determination is unbelievable, you put me to shame. Sorry you are getting such shitty side effects hopefully they will pass soon. The love you have for each other (and food lol ) makes me smile, enjoy every minute xx love to you both
What a bloody inspiration you both are.....so much so I cannot articulate it. Emily you're smashing through and showing such positivity and strength. Ben with horrible side effects you're pushing through. Please share I'd you can go you keep such a positive mindset. As for your wifey what an absolute gem.....you're both so amazing together and I can only hope to have something as special as you both share. Congratulations on your marriage and being a pair of bad boi babes. Love one x
Top of the morning to you all, especially to Em and Aisha♥️♥️ , Like you Tom, Emily’s channel is the only one I get notifications for, so as hubby and I settled down last eve, he got “ quite impatience!!!” as I said I just needed to watch your vlog!!! I can’t help with the drug side effects cos I sailed through my chemo cocktail, (sorry Em) but hopefully someone out there will be able to help you. One thing for sure, you are not alone, (31k subs now, you rock Em). We hope you know how much we all love & care for you both and just pray the sun will shine everyday for two of the bravest, positive human beings we have ever known. Sending love & hugs from my heart as you read this😘❤️😘
Couldn’t agree more about the sun cream Emily! So sad people are still putting the suntan before the protection. You’re doing great bab, speak gobbledygook we get you anyway! There are going too be bad days there’s going to be side effects but bab, you got this!
All I can say tonight is I love you guys! I have a rare soft-tissue cancer, myoepithilioma which is one of at least 50 subtypes of Sarcoma. Thanks as always for sharing. 🌻💛🙏🏼💛🌻
I'm sending good vibes across the big pond. Your positive energy is going to work in your favor. I'm glad you have a good woman by your side because s×@t gets real with scary diagnoses. Keep moving, stay busy. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma 34 years ago and I'm still here. About the hair....I know that hair falling out is no fun but when you walk away with your life, hair means nothing. Best of wishes to you guys.
God Bless you Emily❤hope all goes well with your hair, and don't fret it's just hair. You should see mine looks like total shit! Anyways it's on the inside that counts the most and you are a gem of a young lady!😘
Emily with or without hair you are beautiful in & out your a inspiration to everyone your strong and we pray for your wellbeing to keep going wish you both the best love in life for ever and ever🙏😍
Steroids are awsome and horrible at the same time, often a double edged sword, they can fix some things but you often have the side effects. The moods swings, angry, the emotions, up and down, crying because you cried....the Jitters, can't sleep, super hungry, but nothing taste good, then other things never tasted better, swelling, mind racing, but confused, can't find your words, energy... yeah! heart racing, can't sleep or tired but can't stop your mind from running away....to mention a few side effects, on top of a battle for ur life. It makes things interesting... don't let it make u sour, let it make u stronger! Cheering u on. And Isha, she's amazing, happy for u both.
Emily, sending you and Aisha much love. You are looking wonderful, and your positivity is infectious... Keep on going girlfriend, you ROCK! You and Aisha are so blessed to have one another! Xoxo ❤ ❤ 😙
What a lose to the world without a beautiful Emily, you gave so much and left a legacy of massive magnitude Blessings to heaven Emily and Thankyou for being you Much Love from your Australian friend Lee ❤️💛💜💙💚♥️
Was just about to do some lesson planning for my class for tomorrow and I got the notification. Of course, I put the teacher schoolwork on hold for you!!! Isn’t it amazing how people you have never met love you and Aisha so much? I, too, feel a connection to you guys. Is this your new house? I can never tell. Anyway, see you tomorrow!! Love to you both from Brooklyn, New York!!
When Aisha asked if you were going to get food, I was like "YES, SHE'S GOING TO EAT ON THE VLOG AGAIN!! 😂" and then we didn't get to actually see her eat 😢 lol
Emily and Aisha,thanks so much for sharing your story with the rest of the world.I love your frankness,it’s so refreshing in this world of so much fakeness.Ive found in my life that I get get shit for being up front and honest,,however the real people like it.So pleased the sun is shinning in London,it does make life a little better.I visited London for the first time in September 2017,and was stunned by the amazing architecture,it’s so old.I come from New Zealand ,which is such a young country in comparison.Its such a buzz watching you go out and about,it reminds me of my trip there.Looking forward to my Emily/Aisha dose tomorrow.Peace and harmony to you both,and to all of your helpers and families,especially Tom and his cool editing and cool music.😇
Emily you brave brave lady Your strength of character, positivity and true British Grit continues to amaze me. Losing your hair will showcase your beautiful eyes 💖😘🙏🏻 keep fighting 💪🏻 x
You will ROCK the bald or shorter hair cut or whatever you decide to do! I have had the same experiences on steroids - I get wired (which was awesome for workouts!), but then I can't sleep and don't feel like myself. I've had numbness in my legs and feet before...and mood stabilizers are not easy medications to manage (correct dose, vs. side effects). I've worked with many people on mood stabilizers and its always a balance between benefits vs. side effects. I have often been told that while their moods are better, they just don't quite feel like themselves mentally and personality wise. In my experience you need to have a really good doctor who deals primarily with psych medications in order to get the right medication and the right dose. Hope this helps. Love to you and Aisha!
Emily my sister had brain radiotherapy and was on high dose steroids. She had problems with her hands and feet and she was edgy and jittery, couldn’t sleep, always thirsty and she had noise in her ears (tinitis) and dizziness. I remember she hated feeling so restless too. Her words got mixed up but we used to laugh about that😁 I’m sure it will settle for you. 💞💪🏻 Lovely to see you back in the gym 👊🏻xxx
Part of my journey with HPV cancer & untreated Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease I now have severe Neuropathy in my hands, arms, feet and legs some days I can’t stand walk or use my hands not given any help or treatment just never ending surgeries.. I’m waiting for my 34th one.. just exhausted I’m just upset for myself that I can’t function as well as you but happy for you, life is bitter sweet at times! you’re a star and other equally brilliant you tubers! Gotta Grab Life While It’s There & You Still Got Function.. much love to You Mrs & Mrs aka Emily & Aisha 😘😘💜💙💜😍😍 xxxx
I had melanoma a couple of years ago and now I’m afraid it’s back. I’ve noticed it about three months ago. Health care is quite different here in America. Medications are extremely expensive. One of my medications is $1,500.00 for a months supply. It’s disgusting really. That’s just too much. The drug companies and health insurance companies are beasts. If you can’t afford it, then you do without. I really enjoy watching your blog. Your positivity is contagious. Thank you.
Emily, thank you for talking about the importance SPF. As an esthetician, I take it very seriously! It only takes 2 sunburns in a lifetime to get skin cancer! You're beautiful and I'm sorry your hand is not doing any better.
April absolutely I had a scare because I'm literally a vampire, pale white , eyes that go blind in the sun . Mine was also on my calf. Women in general need to check thier calves and back of neck as that's where they usually begin (am I correct here?) x
Lara Hayes you should do regular mole maps. There should be a clinic in your area that does them. They map out every mole on your body, check them all.
Even very dark skin is only equal to an SPF of 5, so yes if you're on the very low end of the Fitzpatrick scale (fair complexion, light eyes) it's best to wear SPF even on cloudy days. Best thing is to get a dermatologist to do a full body examination and keep an eye on any moles that grow or change in size or scabs that aren't healing/crusting for longer than normal. It can happen anywhere, on the nose, shoulders, back. We can all learn from Emily's story.
I live is summer Washington. Pacific coast, little rainy. Lol. I have to say that I love seeing all the different foods you have there. The way it’s presented and prepared just looks so healthy. We are so unhealthy in America. At least I am but I’m changing it eating better to kill the cancer. You inspire! You are awesome wife Aisha . Stay strong.
Hi girls! Hope your numbness in your hand & arm is nothing bad Emily, keep being positive you are amazing, Aisha you are a rock hun, love you both lots 🐜 & Val ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘
PeggyJo5673 Awesomeness!! This young lady is so beautiful and sharing such a heartbreaking condition for the world to see her trials and give hope or comfort to others in similar circumstances is absolutely pure love, I somehow hope by all touched by her gives so much energy to heal her!!! I would heal her if I could!
Hi Emily! You and Ayesha are looking gorgeous as usual. Yes, those are side effects of the medication. Your body is reacting to the new drug in your body. Are you drinking lots of water? Make sure you're also staying hydrated. Love you both! ❤
Firstly, you are amazing and an inspiration. And your lovely wife is amazing too. Yes to the steroids, for MS in high doses. I have all those side effects as well as joint and body ache, like lay on the couch pain. After the jitters, usually comes a terrible low, feeling completely drained and very emotional. But hey, it helps. Love to you guys, keep on fighting.
Awesome bravery from Emily and Aisha. My friend was on high steroids for stage 4 GBM tumour in the frontal lobe. She developed tinnitus which she thought was caused by steroids but other factors could have been the reason.
Steroids are rough. Really take a toll on you. It’s not permanent so don’t let them deter you. You’re strong , determined and brave. That’s why we all love you and Aisha. Bless you both. 💖
my late father inlaw had brain tumour and was on high dose of steroids for a year solid pretty much, they made him not sleep at night and slurred his speech quite a bit and quite forgetful but made a good difference, he was 80 and so had your attitude and never stopped and worked his farm like a 20 year old, you are amazing just like him!!❤️
Speech and mind issues can be from meds and radiotherapy -- It lingers for me too and I dint have it on my head as you have. Sending love to you and Aisha!
Don’t worry pet it’s only hair!!!! It will grow back again 😀 hope your side effects go away soon so glad your both out and about enjoying the sun 👍 keep strong girl your Amazzzzzing xxx
