Michelle's Story - A life turned upside down by cancer (full documentary)

[@veelighted7]

My dearest friend just passed from cancer. It’s been 3 weeks. When you see cancer up close, it changes you. She was my companion... we did everything together. Life is so short 🙏🏻

[@choccymilkconnoisseur2775]

i hope your life is going well, i know how hard it can be to lose someone so close to you. I really hope you're doing okay

[@sallymccoy6286]

So sorry for your loss. She fought long and hard with positive attitude, holding herself up until the end. Such an inspiration to those facing the same cancer journey she had to face. RIP Michelle.

[@nancybeveridgetaylor3256]

My father was in denial until the day he died. Sigh, she is being honest, but my poor dad, who died when I was quite young, was in denial not just to us, but to himself. It was brutal. He died of Pancreatic cancer. This woman is amazing! She is a fabulous woman.

[@lisamccullough5150]

How old was he? 😢

[@naeshastaley2816]

I hate pancreatic cancer 💔 my mom is going through this right now😢 I feel lost

[@ScottsdaleSushi]

Give your father plenty of GRACE. A pancreatic cancer diagnosis is like a Mac truck just landed on top of you. Staying in denial is just one way to cope with something so hard to treat that you pretend it's something else. This is an amazing family facing a horrible medical crisis as best they can - just like your father did.

[@cherishgladden7369]

Beautiful Michelle, you were never a burden. A perfect example of how to fight hard for staying here with the one’s you love. Amazing example of a wonderful mother. My husband fought for three and a half years with pancreatic cancer,he was 56 when he died this year in May. Thankfully I have our kids that will live on through him❤

[@booboo-pe7le]

Such a brave and beautiful woman. A tiny mole on my cheek turned it melanoma in 1997, scans showed it was in my lymph nodes and so I had surgery to remove 46 involved nodes in my neck. Chemo for a year and a half, remission, but was told cancer could show up just about anywhere in my body because of the lymph nodes involved. So far, so good thank God. But the anxiety is there even after all this time. Two weeks ago I had major surgery in my abdomen, Dr. Opened me up to make sure it wasn't cancer, adhesions had taken over much of my large intestine, but no cancer thank God. Even tho I've suffered from major anxiety now and then, this awesome young woman showed me what true bravery is and how to fight the good fight. Her family stood strong beside her and I just know they must miss this witty, loving mom and wife so much. God bless her, RIP Michelle and blessings to her beautiful family....boo :)

[@davinastanton3865]

My Melanoma started as a mole on my back. I to had my Lymph Nodes removed. After Chemotherapy it went into remission. Now our lives are yet again upside down 😢. My husband has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer and they cannot cure him. We are truly broken-hearted. 💔 My poor gentle husband has taken such good care of me. I must try to stay strong for him and take care of him. He has a biopsy on Tuesday then back to his Specialist on Friday. I will always be here for him. ❤

[@patriciaduggan4102]

@@davinastanton3865 I found when my husband had stage 4 melanoma I asked everyone I knew to PRAY for him and of course I also prayed. He started immunology therapy and all His tumors went away, he has been 6 years cancer free now I give all thanks to Jesus and Mary. I also thank Jesus everyday for all He has done for us. I hope this encourages you and I will PRAY for you🙏

[@Howiesgirl]

I'm SO glad I watched this! As a cancer patient myself, Michelle's story has inspired me so much more than I could ever say. She took on her cancer journey with unbelievable grace & emotional strength. Her husband & family are wonderful! It's obvious that she was 100% supported by them. I hope that they had people to lean on as well in those final days & beyond. I'm not in the final stretch of my journey yet, but I pray that when I get there, my husband & I will handle things as well as Michelle & her husband did. Peace be with the entire family.

What a graceful..beautiful woman she was! Her personality was rare...I know she drew me in and Michelle was the type of lady we would all be lucky to have as a friend! I'm so happy this video waa recommended to me because she changed the way I thought and felt about a few thing's...I so wish she could've stay cancer free...what a tremendous loss!

Beautiful words 💜

[@jaclynjamescook6836]

She didn’t lose any battle. She was victorious in recognizing her humble journey and embracing the beauty that only cancer can make you see. As someone who has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer I have told my family that one thing. Don’t ever say I lost my battle when my time comes. That is insulting to the strength and true warrior fight that we put forth on a daily basis fighting this disease. All I see is a beautiful winner in this documentary.

[@anglophils645]

Michelle is right. If you are a cancer patient, what matters to your loved ones, is to see you fighting to live. That’s how you show your love for them, and your love for your life. If your cancer ultimately ends your life, you’ve still won, just by committing to the battle. I am an adult who has lost both of my parents to cancer. I’ll never forget their strength and courage, and how they never gave up, never stopped trying to live. It will always mean the world to me.

[@kathleendowner6506]

So true❤

[@cinnamoslut]

That's not right. It should always be the patient's choice. No one should feel pressured to suffer in futility if that's not what they want. Seems like a very American thing. We have a hard time accepting death in this country.

I have staged 4 PC and I was inspired by Michelle s testimony. What a brave faithful loving person she was. We must get more funding for research for pancreatic cancer- like we have done for breast cancer and heart disease The answer is out there and there are brilliant doctors and researchers out there. Go to PanCan.org to get answers to questions, find clinical trials, find out how you can help. People are living years instead of months. Let’s make that possible for more people. I want to see my grandchildren grow up and I have a lot to do before I’m ready to leave this world. So I’m grateful for the excellent doctors I’ve had and the Folfirinox treatments that I made it through 6 months - I’m so blessed to be alive!

People are always so stressed and worried they are or will be a burden on the family members. I took care of my mom as she had brain cancer and lost her ability to stand and do pretty much anything. I can tell you it was alot of work but no it wasn't a burden as family members we don't think of it like this. If I had to do it again I would do it for a loved one. When you are going through this or are going to go through this it's usually just the person that is ill that thinks of the burden part. The family members will do everything out of love to help that person. It's not a burden.

[@irisrose4732]

Absolutely true. My poor Mama kept thinking she was a burden during her journey. NEVER did I think she was that; what she was and will always be, much like lovely Michelle here, is a graceful, strong, beacon of light that shines through the darkness. These beautiful people that suffered so much, have taught us not only how to live, but how to pass on from this plane. Such strong, beautiful beings, never considered a "burden" by those whom love them the most.

How true. I was a widow at 38. I cared for my late husband at home through his dying and death. It isn’t a “burden:” As far as I’m concerned, it was an honor and a privilege. It was the hardest yet most rewarding experience I’ve ever had and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Now, would I have done this for my biological mother? Absolutely not. She was a horrible abuser of her family and with whom I cut all ties a few decades before her death. I would ensure she had adequate food, clothing, shelter and basic medical care. Period. *People die the way they lived* and she abused everyone who cared for her, professional or personal up to her last breath. *No surprise there.*

That's right, we'd rather have them here and healthy but we do what we do because we love them. RIP MOM

AMEN🙏 WELL SAID

I agree as I was a caregiver to my brother-in-law and my aunt. Both had cancer. When you put love into it, you will find yr strength to help them walk their final journey home.

What a brave woman. My sympathies to her family and friends. Cancer is a terrible disease and I know of no one who hasn't been affected by either having a friend or family member having suffered from this terrible illness.
