I'm a 27-year-old cancer patient and here is what I wish I knew before my diagnosis

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.

Praying for complete healing for this young lady.

Been following Natasha for 4 years I’m am so glad that she’s still with us and sharing her story

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.

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.

Father , I lift up this beauty before you, I pray that you cover her, heal her and hold her during her journey. ❤❤🙏🙏🙌🙌😇😇

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! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

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...

Jesus is a healer!!! Praying for a complete recovery and peace through this journey!!!

Truly wishing her all the best and she beats cancer!

I can’t imagine being in her shoes. I wish her peace and happiness

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.

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.

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!

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 was diagnosed at nine with synovial cell sarcoma...doing good now...prayers 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.

I’m praying for you young lady, May God continue to keep you in his loving arms.

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.🙏🏿🙌🏾

May God heal you completely and may the cancer never return. ❤
