I am always saying WE GOT THIS in real life and online. We all have our own struggles and I believe we can get through anything together. When I was diagnosed with cancer in September, I thought this was my own struggle but I realised my cancer has affected everyone around me. I am a daughter, a girlfriend, a sister, a friend, a cousin, a grand daughter & more. I know my journey has affected everyone around me and I know now more than ever that I have no choice but to get better. Whatever life throws at us, we are going to get through it together. We Got This
love you lots xxx WE GOT THIS

[@sandrabugler9813]

There are lots of children out there who need good loving homes. I wasn't able to have children so I adopted two. No better feeling than when they put a child in your arms. Only difference was I wasn't laying in a bed we met both of our children in an office. It was still very exciting and now that I'm an old lady I know I wouldn't change my life for the world.

The advances in science and medicine regarding freezing your eggs for a future family is truly a blessing. Surrogacy is an amazing option. Just the fact that you have eggs frozen is huge. I truly believe God has paved the way for you to be a mom, a healthy mom at that. It may not be traditional, but possible 😊. Prayers and love to all.❤🙏🏻

[@simfimpim]

Surrogacy within families can be an option, but there are serious ethical problems with surrogacy outside the family unit, when money is involved.

[@kathyg154]

I’m hoping that your sister is able to help you with a baby. That is done often within families. But first things first. You must be fully healed and recovered. And your sister , if she indeed would choose to carry your baby, needs time to decide and get used to the idea. Meanwhile, you’re continuing to heal. But I think after all, you will be THE most loving Angel of a new Mommy!!! So full of love are you, your child will flourish, no doubt! With Matt and your genes, she’s bound to be so lovely !!! And if he’s a boy.. the good looks of his Daddy and sweetness of his Mommy… a wonderful little boy for sure!!! What a great thing to think about, having a baby! ❤️❤️❤️

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Yes, sometimes even a good friend can be a surrogate. I recall when a friend was having difficulty with trying to start her family. I would have been more than willing to be a help, since I had successfully carried my daughter. In the end it wasn’t needed, but I was more than willing.

A person might have lots of money and very ill health to the point that money no longer means nothing to them because they are too ill to enjoy it.

[@carolynbrown4720]

A lot of times people have been angry even when she missed posting on days she said she would, she had cancer!!! Geez, I would not be at all apologetic, but she was/is. How dare people tell her these things like you must give us a video no matter how you are feeling, you owe us! No, she does not! And then when she needs to go back to work, that is her business!! Are you kidding me? She just got out of that major surgery and back home not long ago and they are telling you what you should do already. Nobody seems to teach their children manners anymore, work ethics, respect, and you don't always get what YOU want!! Sorry I'm ranting/venting, I just get so worked up by this subject because parents in America tend to want to be friends instead of parents to their offspring, they need life skills. I have friends and relatives who have 30-something children and their families living with them, on welfare and food stamps, no plans to get off of either one. Excuse me, I work for a living and was taught work ethic, kindness, how to treat customers in a retail setting and welfare is only for when you absolutely need it until you get on your feet, soon, not 10 years from now. And I have to go now because I'm having flashbacks of the very last time (ever) I will have been in a WalMart when somebody 500 pounds to my guesstimation ran me over with the scooter they supply there to get to a frozen pizza part of the freezer isle. Oh Please!! No wonder we Americans are laughed at. We have gone downhill since the no spank rules.

[@vivienleigh4640]

Take your time, Tiffany. The emotional reaction often comes when the physical threat isn't acute anymore. Depression, anger is very common and that may collide with expectations from others and maybe yourself "It's over! You should be happy! Thankful!" Of course you're all that too, but allow yourself to feel whatever you feel. If you try to skip over this phase, it will most likely catch up with you. You don't owe anybody anything, not even an explanation.

My mum had a stoma bag and used to worry about finding bathrooms when we were out. Just so you know as a stoma patient you are eligible for a radar key which means you can use disabled toilets where there is a sink etc in the cubicle. Just thought it might be useful for you. You can apply for one online.

From personal experience, I understand your pain. I had a hysterectomy at 24 and my dream was to have a dozen kids...5 years after my hysterectomy, I adopted a beautiful daughter than 3 years later came my son. I am thankful and blessed to have them however I will be honest I still long for my other 10. I don't mind that I did not physically carry them as I love and appreciate them even more. I just hate that adoption is so expensive and I had to go thru so much to adopt them. Tiffany you got this and I am praying one day you have children of your own too.

Tiffany, I totally get the issue of looking healthier than we are. The literal abuse and discrimination that comes from this is very real. My combined genetic and autoimmune challenges are like having cancer: EDS, SLE, Scleroderma, Sjogrens, RA, OA, mild MS, Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Stroke at 26, heart attack at 44. I look 100 percent healthy, try to appear so. People think I'm lying, exaggerating etc. Needless to say, I never feel well. So you have my empathy. We've got this, dear girl.

Dear Tiffany.. you were on point talking about life after cancer when it comes to having children and working. Cancer took my chance for having a baby also, i didnt have any luck to freeze my eggs so i will never have my own children and it breaks my heart every day! Its been a year since i finished all the treatments and im very happy and thankful im cancer free and i can live my life again, but the mental part after cancer is very hard! The having no babies is the hardest for me at the moment, i can cry about it almost every day and i let myself do that because it is part of the proces!

[@enigma_-_79]

That is a very mature way of looking at your recovery. The aftermath of having cancer will stir up many emotions and suppressing them is not healthy. I’m sorry that you can’t have your own biological children but then I think of how many beautiful angels are born into a life with parents who don’t want or love them who would love to make a family with people like you, and life doesn’t seem so bad. ❤

I absolutely understand what you mean when you say cancer has changed your perspective on working, money, and chasing after the next material thing. When you come so close to dying and are given that chance to keep living, it really makes us examine ourselves and our lives. It really clarifies what is important and what is not. I know before I experienced this, I had a job which I really liked, and I had my family (husband and 2 sons), but I let work dictate my life and take me away from my family. I worked 70+ hours a week, and I couldn't find a proper balance. I knew I needed to change, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. As I was lying in the hospital so very ill and not knowing if I would live or not, I remember lying in my hospital bed one night all alone, and I suddenly knew that if I survived this, I would never go back to the job I had. The job itself is what nearly killed me at that time, and what led to my subsequent brushes with death. To this day, I am physically unable to go back to work. But if I were to ever be able to work again, it would not be like before. I cherished the time I then had to actually focus on my family and be there for them. Now, I have grandchildren and am very involved in their upbringing, and I am so blessed to see their day-to-day growth and development. So, Tiffany, you go back to work when and if you are ready. Do not let other people dictate your life.

[@CarrieRichards03]

I can't thank you enough Tiffany 🙂 you were meant for me to cross paths with me on our journeys. Everything that you express, talk about is exactly what I try and express to others when they have questions. I can't believe the people who have never had cancer tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing. If I try to explain, they might get cranky with me. You touched on the same thing in terms of people saying that you look like you can go back to work. You hit it exactly right, people think that bc we look well on the outside we are no longer battling "C" word. It never ceases to amaze me that people around me who know nothing about cancer or even compare me and my journey to someone else who they know. It's like they get offended if I don't agree. So, thank you so very much for mentioning this that you go through as well ♥️ I will be finding out at the end of this month if my cancer has metastasized. I don't have family who live around me and my friends have their own lives. I went through my surgery and then treatments completely on my own. I don't want to do it again, I don't think that I will go through it alone again. You are so inspiring to me Tiffany, bless your heart you are so precious. Thank you for sharing your journey 💗💗💗

Tiffany, I’m a solid year out of chemo and 16 months since surgery, and I’m still just regaining my stamina. It is a process. What people see on the outside does not paint the real picture. I experienced the same - ‘oh you must be fine now’ - ‘just put it behind you’. People are clueless, because it’s not something anyone wants to really discuss, unless they are going through it or a loved one has been through it. Just take good care of yourself! I’m so glad you’re through your surgery and on the road to recovery! Sending love.

[@tiffanythinks]

You’re so right 💙 thank you so much for commenting - you’re absolutely right💙💙💙 i hope you’re okay xxx lots and lots of love💙💙💙

[@julieseidel7044]

There's so many in children Tiffany that need homes. You could adopt. Giving give a child a loving home.

[@lillychawla9079]

Right 👍🏻

[@queenp9549]

Right!

I don’t know why health companies push juices as they do; it’s common knowledge that many of the nutrients are lost by juicing fruits and vegetables as opposed to putting them into a Ninja or Vitamix. I do love a good ginger, garlic or turmeric shot though. PS the striped tee is really cute 😍

[@pjl92668]

Take your time! Do NOT rush back to work, your surgery was incredible! I also had a couple internal surgeries, and everyone commented on how good I looked! That is not at ALL how I felt. The surgeons said you will be back to normal in three weeks, it was more like three months, and I was an avid biker and weigh trainer🙄

[@pjl92668]

I used Clinique products in my late teens and early twenties.once in my thirties, I had to change he to Elizabeth Arden. Love EA, expensive, but fantastic for my skin.

[@pjl92668]

Use products with serum, and lots of moisturizing affects in all their products. I am 54, people think I an in my late 30’s and mid 40’s. Genetics helps too.

[@carolbaswell5019]

You are sooooo adorable---I literally wept through the last couple of minutes to see you so happy and out walking about. Continue to give yourself peace and time. You have all been through a very traumatic time. You are so loved!!

[@greenblood64]

Hi Tiffany; I’ve left you many posts before this one. I am a cancer survivor and it been a year now. I have beat myself up about being so tired (I’m still tired). Tiffany, you are still recovering. Please allow yourself time to rest and heal. What’s the hurry?! You’ve had major surgery and you need as much rest as possible for your body to heal. Take care Tiffany. I’m praying for you!💚🍀

[@nicholamc2629]

Hello lovely Tiffany! I was watching your video of the first few days after surgery last night, isn’t it amazing where you are now! So so happy watching you pip about, living your life! Sending love as always. 💙💙💙💙

[@HayleyLouiseFace]

Tiffany!!! Firstly... You go back to work when you WANT to. Not when you're recovered from this journey which could be such a long time mentally but when you are ready to. Like you say, this rollercoaster has given you so much perspective on life.. LIVE IT! Also... You are going to be the most incredible mother one day. It doesn't matter how you achieve it, that child will be yours to love forever. It's ok to feel sad about not being able to carry your own child but remember even that has its downs! I would loveeee another child but would also love to skip the pregnancy part. Keep focusing on those positives. Some days the negatives will be at the forefront but knock them right back. Second chance at life 💙💙💙 You are suchhhhhh wonderful person xxxxxxx

[@tinacollins2055]

Please don't listen to other people about what you "should" do. What you must do now is continue to rest and let your body heal. Tiffany, I had a small cancer removed from my nose years ago. My plastic surgeon told my that the wound would not be totally healed for about 6 months! You've just been through a very difficult surgery that has changed your life forever. Do not feel guilty about not doing much around the house or any other activity.

[@isabellavannet667]

I use Boots No 7 repair and protect intense. I am in my seventies and have no wrinkles around my eyes. I have tried all the expensive creams but always go back to this one!

[@hannahwolf191]

Contentment is a gift from God! Cherish it when you get there!

[@missnonegiven3542]

Hi Tiffany! It's so good to see you up and about and looking so healthy! Prayers are answered! So happy for you and your family. I just wanted to share some difficult wisdom regarding HRT. I took HRT for 5 years and ended up with stage 1 breast cancer, eventually leading to complete bilateral mastectomies. It's known to cause breast cancer. Just please proceed with caution. I still have hot flashes, but it's better than cancer. Best of luck and love! Enjoy every day. The world needs more people like you.

[@julieseidel7044]

Tiffany I got a question why don't you answer some of your comments that have like questions and stuff?

[@marciamusial9952]

Because she probably doesn’t read these responses and doesn’t even realize there are questions. Do you honestly think KZbinrs care about their “followers”? This is a job $ for them and that’s all.

[@Shazdog123]

Forgot to say, when you do decide to get on a plane again, def book ‘wheelchair assistance’! Honestly, I couldn’t make it from check-in departures if I had to walk. They take you right through and whoever is with you goes to. Saves you standing in a queue and worrying about your bag filling and not getting to the loo! Us ostomates have to learn all the tricks to make life a bit easier. X

[@Witchy_Woman]

Take your time and allow yourself to heal. You'll know when you're ready to go back to work. It's better to take time to heal properly than push too much, too soon and have setbacks.💙

[@robynfiner]

You do what is right for you! Only you can decide ,other people love to give unsolicited advice. You are doing so amazing. I am proud to be part of your journey. A lot a lot a lot!

[@ginamonroe9659]

Dear Tiff, perhaps instead of looking at your health as ONE issue, give each issue you've faced the time to heal. Like cancer meds are one, your bum another, your colostomy another, major surgery of your insides another, and mental health yet another. Each issue can take a different amount of time to get back to normal. I've heard that our bodies really don't recover 100% from major surgery until a year out, and you've faced more than just that one. Your journey has been nothing but amazing so far. Relax, breathe, live, repeat🥰 With love and hugs from America, Gina

[@joanahcarr8482]

Hey Tiffany👋🏼nice to see you looking stronger and stronger Also getting out and about with matt but still listening to your body and getting your rest it's great🙏🏽💙💙💙

[@annsmith4739]

Tiffany I have multiple sclerosis,I look after myself an people always says ,o you look well ,an a lot of the times I could go back to bed ,they don’t know how you feel ,I bless every day I’m here .love an preys Ann 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💙

[@BelleOfAmherst]

Oh my goodness. My heart goes to you even more. A smile elevates your spirit, so I’m glad I helped, Tiffany helped, even a little bit. I’m so sorry for your suffering. I’ve had family & cared for people with MS. You’ve been added to my nightly prayers & thoughts for healing. I’ll look for you here in the future. Take good care. Much love to you, Ann. Belle 💙💙💙

[@erintheresa2430]

I wanted to say your hair looks amazing! So healthy and shiny!

[@Autumn_Forest_]

Y’all are so adorable! Watching you getting ready to eat, I realized what a huge blessing it is that you’re still able to enjoy food and eat like before your surgery. ❤💙

[@Chirmanickityville]

When we have leftover oats we make pancakes with them. We put walnuts, apples, raisins, and cinnamon in it. Eggs flour and baking powder and a bit of salt. I had a hysterectomy at age 21 due to cancer, it is different for everyone but I think I can understand that part of your experience. Sorry, you have to go through this. You are making such good progress.

[@lisabullock7461]

Good morning Tiffany, Amma,and Matt,have a blessed Sunday😍

[@patriciaroy5013]

Tiffany I had a radical hysterectomy at 21years old, and I wear an estrodot patch(estrogen). I stick it on my tummy, and I change it every 3 days. It is really small and clear, so much easier than taking a pill every day. It has worked great for me, no more hot flashes and all the other side effects menopause brings. It is important you start hrt soon. Do they do bio identical hormone therapy in the UK? Ask your dr if they do. Glad to see you are doing so well. I understand how you feel, my radical hysterectomy was a soul shattering experience for me. I always wanted to have children, but that choice was taken away from me due to an incurable illness. It still breaks my heart if I let myself think about it. If you have trouble sitting get a donut to sit on, people with hemorrhoids use them. It will make sitting a lot more comfortable. For a moisturizer I like to use CeraVe for normal to dry skin, I use the cream one not the lotion. I use it on my face, neck, and entire body really. It is a great moisturizer and is very well priced. Stay blessed 💜.

[@cdpresently]

I don't know who is telling you to "should" your life choices! You have made, and continue to make, a journey that is so challenging and so full of hard work and choices! Rest. Shelter. Peace. These are what we, your community, wish and pray for you.

[@pjk1714]

Tiffany, I use Argan oil on my body after shower and my face lightly each night before bed. We dehydrate while sleeping. With your stoma you may need electrolyte daily some months. I use LMNT from Amazon in water daily. Not having your hormones worked out can also cause dry skin. Recipe I enjoy that serves 5 days. Baked oatmeal 350f 40 minutes 8x8 oiled or buttered pyrex. 3 cups oats (not quick kind) 1 cup Oat milk or substitute with almond/macadamia 1/2 cup pure honey or maple syrup Pinch salt 2 eggs 1 cup berries If you mix bananas then cut back on the sweetener. Once you can digest nuts 1/4 almond slivers or pecans or walnuts ground up. Serving size is about the same for overnight oats. Just cover in fridge once cool. Filling and easy to digest. Becky at scratch pantry makes and freeze in larger amounts. Depending on weather you might need a bit more milk before baking. I like it a bit soupy around edges before popping into oven. Dab butter on top if you like too. Don't fret over people talking about working. Your experience takes 6 to 10 months before even considering. Just build strength daily and enjoy life as you heal. You can control work load based on needs and energy. Having stoma can also dictates what you can do. Dehydration happens quickly. Just work to live not live to work. Big hugs, very happy you are finding your normal💙💙💙💙

[@strawberry1025]

It's wonderful to see you moving so much more easily Tiffany. And great you had that chat with the Stoma Nurse. It's the little tweaks that actually make such a HUGE difference to comfort and confidence.😄

[@debramorrissey8670]

It’s so lovely seeing others creators recommending other cancer KZbin channels such as Jenny Apple, too cute for cancer, the list goes on. Aren’t you the kindest angel.

[@lorraineearle5967]

Tiffany, don't use up any of your energy trying to figure people out. Those that think you should be going back to work. My therapist refers to these insensitive people as 'emotionally limited.' These people have so little self-awareness that they can't see people's needs. Take all the time you need; you'll know when you're ready. Concentrate on your self-care. You've got this! 💙

[@Binx-ud1hk]

many of us couldn't have children even with ivf even with multiple miscarriages and loosing children at birth life goes on you are alive you can still have kids. Many who went thru this have also gone thru cancer. You need to turn it around you lucky to be alive its ok to grieve but now its time to live be happy and grateful

[@user-yu3ci4sl8v]

Tiffany - I’m so happy to see you getting stronger and stronger each time I see you 💪👍😍💙💙💙And I’m sure you have the best mother, man and family in this whole world 💙💙💙 Everytime I see all the love you are surrounded with my heart gets really warm! You are so blessed and you yourself are a blessing to us that follows you 💙💙💙 Thank you for being YOU 🙏💙💙💙

[@misfitm1457]

You're still young, there is time. So many options for kids, fostering, adoption, surrogacy, even uterine transplants are happening and maybe will be more of a thing. I'm 44 and didn't get to have kids, so I understand how it feels, even now after years of knowing I won't be having them it can be hard. Take it at YOUR pace, nobody knows what is right for you but you. One step at a time, you've been through so much and it's a massive trauma for you all

[@phyllisbowen3698]

I personally dont have the thought about you returning to work yet. You have been through a monumental year & you are still healing. It seems you tend to put a lot of pressure on yourself. Take time to breath and get back to enjoying life more.

[@lejlaletic7591]

You are a beautiful person inside and out Tiffany. Your perspective on life is so wise. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us all.

[@bridgetz8532]

Glad to see you getting better each day. I know you mentioned you really want a dog. Maybe now would be a good time to get one while you have time to train him 🐩🐶🐕❤️

[@RobynG70]

Tiffany sweetheart, you still have a lot of healing to do..physically, mentally and spiritually.. you also have a lot to grieve and its all normal... You need time to heal in a lot of ways..... Take your time and go at the pace YOU choose, not what someone else thinks you should choose.. 💙💙💙

[@elsienaicker1080]

So glad that you improving everyday. Only go back to work when you ready. Love and light to you and your family 💗

[@eleanorlyons9709]

I agree with you about having a comfortable life not pushing for more and being happy and content in my everyday life 🙏🏽

[@holliethomson6147]

Hi beautiful Tiffany, it's wonderful to see you happy, and so much better. Please don't worry about what other people say, only do things in your own time and what feels right for you. You are so brave, strong and just incredible. I'm sending you, Amma and Matt so much love ❤️ xxx 💙💙💙

[@larryellis9573]

It makes me so happy to see you living life! This video just warmed my heart even though you started with some tough things to think about. You and Matt are so sweet to each and other we can all learn things from you. You couldn't have summed things up more perfectly, life is for enjoying, not always worrying about bigger and better material things. You have been through so much and you are so positive, kind and loving. We need many more of you in this world. All the best to you and your family.

[@kerry3852]

She shouldn’t of told u off. U should get the exfoliating wash and also the toner number three, then apply the cream. It works wonders for your face. But u have had so much going on. Also the L’Oreal serum and vitamin C is amazing. U truly are amazing x

[@lfjphotog6779]

You need to take your time. It is literally no one else’s business (nor could they possibly know) when you are physically and emotionally ready to do that. Try not to worry too much. One thing at a time. You will have your miracle baby to look forward to and we will all celebrate with you. If I were 20 years younger I would carry it for you, but promise you will find a way to do it. There are so many options now. Ireland will be fabulous. It’s my favorite place in the world.

[@mummymoomoomummymoomoo8443]

I love how you and Matt, Amma enjoy food so much. It’s lovely watching you cook and eat and drink together. I’m an extremely fussy eater so food isn’t very enjoyable for me, but it’s nice to see that you’re all enjoying it. My sister shops in Bromley quite often, I find it a bit overwhelming as I’m used to Croydon however there are no shops left in Croydon, Bromley is the closest alternative. I enjoy watching your videos, I hope you continue to post xx 💙💙💙

[@barkingfromnewmexico9448]

Tiffany, I wish I had written this yesterday before the Stoma nurse came, but I got distracted. Anyhow, in your last video, you mentioned that you had packed some Stoma bags in your car. My thought is that cars do not have constant temperatures. In the winter, they can be very cold, and in the warmer months, they can be extremely hot. Those changes in temperatures might cause the bags to harden and crack, plus the adhesive might degrade and become weakened or useless depending on how long they have been in the car. I am no expert on these matters, so please consult your health care providers.
