I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how passionate the gyn is about her standard of care and how she treats her Patients

[@bryanashcraft8017]

Insurance unfortunately kick back most of them. My wife had a 1.7cm lump in her breast , insurance kicked back CT scan . Crazy

[@mandibutler7534]

Wow! Taylor is so calm and collective. Just listening to him describe everything, I am in tears. Haley's story is going to change lives all around the world.

A pelvic ultrasound should be included with a woman's female yearly exams....

Every time I see Taylor speak about Haley it is just what I needed to hear. You always think you have it bad then you hear stories like this. Thank you for sharing your story and advocating for women and health. ❤❤ God bless

I followed their journey since Taylor posted the first video and my heart goes out to Taylor and Weston and the whole family. Our Hayley girl will always be loved and missed. She was an inspiration to so many people. I cried when Hayley passed as I'm sure millions of others have, she truly was a warrior. Rip Our Hayley girl forever in our hearts.❤

My 17 year old daughter had a issue similar. She was having pain in her lower right side where the female parts are. I took her to the Dr over and over they did nothing and told us she's fine. It got to the point she was in so much pain she was sweating and puking so I took her to the ER and they found a cyst that was 4 liters full of fluid. It had grown from her tubes into the stomach under her ribs. She had to have emergency surgery bc the Dr told us she wouldnt make it to the bigger hospital in time. Her stomach had gotten huge and hard she was gaining weight and we couldn't understand why she couldn't lose either. Well it was a torsion cyst that had grown for years. I was so mad at the Drs bc no one listen to me when I told them something was wrong with her. Well she ended up losing her tube and ovary bc it twisted so bad it cut off the blood supply to it and they cut her open as a c section to drain the cyst and pull it all out. I've learned now when it comes to anything regarding your health you have to advocate for yourself and do all you can to get testing and such done because it can go under the radar if not. Thank God my daughter is alive and well now and hopefully she can still have children one day.

Age30…. Devastating. My heart goes out to Taylor and Weston.

[@naresh2592]

Hello everyone, each time I here Taylor share his story, I learn something new. Great podcast.

[@nataliepage6936]

I love listening to Taylor speak about the love he has for his wife ❤

[@LayRae13]

Amazing man, father, & husband. Haley was an amazing woman. God bless them 🤍 Haley’s story will live on through us all ☀️

[@juliannewood7149]

Taylor , you truly are an inspiration.

[@KristenEstrada-wb8hn]

Yes, an ultrasound should be standard care!

[@sarinhaxo]

Really enjoy watching!!! I learned so much !!! We need more doctor’s Iike her on the field!

[@Mrsknightful]

I cried the whole time!

[@kmaree2603]

You know what would’ve been the best way for the gyno to let Hailey know everything was fine, by doing a scan straight away. It’s wild, she could potentially still be here if it was caught early.

[@MissSasa9]

It's truly unbelievable

[@briellejoy8887]

Wow. This story is so impactful and brought me to tears more than I even anticipated. Thinking of Haley everyday- and Taylor & Westin. So much genuine love/care within so much of this heartache.

[@allkindsofrescues7773]

He should bring out a book too sharing her story ❤️👍

[@snuff2023]

I'm halfway thru and maybe my comment is premature, but I just don't understand how it wasn't caught sooner if she went to the obgyn each year? I'm terrified of getting cancer in those areas and keep expressing the worry to my obgyn. She keeps telling me my paps are fine and when she feels my ovaries they feel fine. If her dr was doing all that, how was it missed? 😢😢

[@enricaippolito9732]

Thank you so much

[@Glamourlifebeautifulvibes]

Be where your feet are, Be present!

[@JuliaJones-r1y]

It’s so frustrating to know how much Haley tried to advocate for herself and the doctors kept brushing her off! The whole “you’re too young for cancer” line is sooo outdated!

[@ryryk6977]

Doctors failed her

[@jeovanabonifacio7531]

The sad thing with this disease is that people tend to use the WORD MY, giving so much power to a disease does not belong to the person. I don’t ever said MY disease, only the name of the disease, never diving the sense of belonging.
