Leg Tumour | Shannon's Story | Stand Up To Cancer

Since a young age, Shannon has been treated for a leg tumour. Shannon hasn't had a normal childhood, she hasn't done things that normal teenagers should be doing.
Her parents were told that her leg tumour is no longer curable but Shannon just wants to be happy for as long as she can.
'I just want to be happy in every single way I possibly could be.'
1 in 2 people in the UK will get cancer during their life time. Every pound you give helps speed up life-saving cancer research, bringing treatments to people who need them, faster.

Knew Shannon's brother through football. Lovely lad. Was devasted for him and his family when this happened.. No one deserves this. Cancer is vile and takes away too many good people. RIP Shannon

[@bobs1356]

You got that right. Let the murderers live and all the bad people. They need to see what it's like to suffer. I guess this is why I am bot a religious person. I am tired of people saying he wants another angel 😇. That so far from the truth.

Burying your child is the worst thing to happen to a parent. I don't think there is a bigger heartache than to see your child die and not being able to save them.

I watched a mother break down on the casket of her daughter she was a school mate who took her own life at 14 a beautiful young girl I knew since primary school seeing her mother emotionally destroyed like that was a pain I couldn't fathom at the time the shock of death at such a young age it should never happen.

London 07:00 I came from the gym and was getting ready for work., I thought to play some music on youtube when Shannon story came up and I clicked to watched. I have no words to describe my feelings after I saw Shannon passed on. Sad. She wanted to live, be a mother, wanted to see her friend's child grow, her brother to become a dad. She was such a beautiful young girl and so kind. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

[@benzielke7149]

My brother just had surgery on his leg 2 days ago. He is 52 and has never had to go to the hospital for anything. I have been in and out several times until I had a section of my intestines removed.... He had cancerous tumors from upper leg down to the knee on the back of his leg. They hopefully cut them out and got them all... I don't think he had any idea what the pain and discomfort would be. A mind blower. No shower for the first month, & they live in an area where the home care nurses wont go because "normal health insurance doesn't pay as much as we get from medicare so we don't do those." That's exactly what they told my mom when she asked why they wouldn't be helping him. Greedy bastards.

Watching families cope with the slow loss of a parent, child puts life into a different perspective for me, the realization many of the challenges in my life are minor, are able to be managed, compared to the inability to change the path of abrutal disease.

Watching this in 2020 and, to be honest, I'm quite frustrated as not much changed regards to cancer treatment and survival rate and how much money has been donated for researches for studies ......

[@thefuturemrs.billhader5767]

Cancer will never go away because the government and medical companies make way too much money off of it.

[@tracywhellams6316]

Suki Weeks You're so confused. God heals, the Devil causes pain in hopes that we will curse God, and the Devil will win if we do that. You need to realize you're helping the Devil by blaming God for suffering caused by evil, not good like God is. Why would you think God causes suffering?

[@gordanazakula4927]

@Gary Mcguckin Thank you for your wisdom!!! Personally, I would rather die from cancer than undergo treatment, as I hate hospitals. One does have a few extra years of "life", but is the pain worth the " gain"? Chemotherapy sounds terrible, and in Shannon's case, they just prolonged her suffering. Please reply to me.

[@subswithnoVideos-fo4ue]

Gordana Zakula my treatment had a 30% chance of working and i undergo treatment for 2 years missed college, but if they didn’t give me treatment i would be dead now, people with cancer, including myself want to live more than anyone else so we will take any treatment opportunity, i was lucky enough to be successful with my treatment and now i have been cancer free for 3 uears

[@jesussaves1827]

Please turn to Jesus He loves you very much, He is the God of miracles, i was ill for many years but the doctors couldn't really help me, i don't blame them there was only so much that they could of done for me, Then Jesus gave me a miracle and healed me, There is hope in Jesus, God has done amazing things in my life and in the life's of people i love, He can do the same for you and yours, When you need Him call on Him, The bible tells us in Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, He is the God of comfort and will be there for you when you call on Him, God saved someone i love from an illness leading to death, There is nothing impossible to God, Its as simple as asking Jesus into your heart and life to be your personal Lord and Savior, confess your sins to Jesus and Jesus will forgive you, And if you truly seek Him Jesus will answer you, i know this because He answered me when i called out to Him, Take care
