SHE SURPRISED ME| CANCER UPDATE

[@shoshana2107]

I have never commented before, but as a nurse I have noticed an issue with your left eye lately. My guess is that things are following the course they will follow. Take it slow, take it easy, but most of all just take it all in. You are a well grounded young woman with a beautiful support system around you and appear well informed by your doctor's and nurses. In my opinion, you are not only handling this with complete grace and openness, but allowing us to bear witness to this journey you are on is very special. Hold those you love close, say the things that need to be said, and know that I see you, I hear you, and I honor your sharing what you are going through.

[@barnabasschuler9025]

I just found Emily,love her enthusiasm. I wonder though if she was in her right mind?

[@SimonsBand1]

@@barnabasschuler9025 what does that mean?

[@denisdaly1708]

lovely said..

[@anniesimone]

​@@barnabasschuler9025What?! I cannot believe, here you come, five years later and after watching Emily's vlogs where she had terminal cancer and about a month left to live, and you are asking if she "was in her right mind"? Get brain cancer and you'll find out it actually affects you..To me, Emily was still sharp as a razor blade, witty and her sense of humour intact. Of course she had issues, her brain was literally swelling from tumours, and despite that, she was up and about, seeing things positive. I have never to this day, watched or seen a more inspiring human being. She was something else, and we all need to watch & learn from her.

How is Aisha dowing?❤

[@shirleyhand4002]

Your wife. The best. She loves you the way most people on earth deserve to be loved. xoxoxo Sweet Emily.

[@Diana-tf5xq]

Em that sounds very like super low blood pressure! Please DONT go to the gym right now until this improves? Speak to your nurse about this. Do you get your blood sugar checked regularly? I’m so glad you enjoyed your surprise BBQ Aisha is so very thoughtful 👍 You need to take the time to chill and let your body regulate these drugs. Your utterly Amazing and things will get better very soon I’m positive of this so chin up chook and take care and listen to your body. We all love you both loads xxx

[@hollyhocks7360]

Aisha the garden looks lovely lots of colour, you have green fingers as well as being beautiful . Lucky you Emily ! You may have postural hypotension which basically means your blood pressure is low when you are sitting or lying down, so when you stand it drops in your boots and takes time to normalise. It can be due to dehydration and or a side effects of your tablets. Give your nurse Peta a ring as she may be able to suggest a change in your medication. When you go from sitting to standing do so slowly. When you are standing try marching gently on the spot or flexing your toes in your shoes for a minute or so as this helps bring your blood pressure up before you start to walk away. This is a trick the soldiers do to stop them fainting on parade. Im sure this can be sorted by your team at the hospital. Big hugs xx

[@luxste]

Great advice! Unfortunately, it can stem from pressure on certain parts of the brain, too. That's why I deal with it. My Grandpa has it, as well, due to minor brain damage from a lack of oxygen when his heart stopped for 5 minutes. I really hope you're right, and it's just her medication. It'll be okay either way, though! She seems to handle situations like this bravely and brilliantly, like always! 💜

[@thriftingintheholler7854]

You can also try to have water at your bedside and drink it before you even get out of bed. Get up very slowly! Throw your legs over the side of bed and just sit there for a few minutes before you stand up. I'm so sorry you aren't feeling up to par. I can't tell you not to workout because that's part of who you are. If you want to workout then do so but maybe Aisha or a friend could go with you? Much love and well wishes from the US!

[@kiwipics]

POTS is a good answer / suggestion, but it would of shown up before. Another thing might be a medication interaction problem that causes a normally low BP to drop and give POTS like symptoms. There could be another 100 or so reasons for the black outs .... petit mal etc etc

[@luxste]

Doesn't POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) result in an elevated *heart rate* upon standing? Orthostatic Hypotension (or Postural Hypotension), which we have been talking about, results in your *blood pressure* dropping upon standing up too quickly, and Emily already mentioned that she has issues with low blood pressure. I deal with OH because of pressure on my brain/brainstem due to a cerebro-spinal fluid blockage and fluid build-up inside my skull. It doesn't happen ALL the time, and it showed up later in my long list of symptoms caused by my disability. I don't think it necessarily would've shown up earlier for Emily, either. Especially not with all the changes that Emily goes through consistently with her medication and treatment.

[@susanparker4550]

It's heart bresking because they're both such lovely girls, i know Emily passed on but on Earth or in Heaven, God Bless both these special girls, with love x ❤

[@lululovesyou7618]

I wanted to skip physical therapy today due to pain- but I thought" I bet Emily is up and at it!" - so I went and kicked butt. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You are both lovely people.

[@akaSuzanne]

Nurse here Emily. Having dizziness and blacking out can be dehydration. Your blood pressure drops and pulse rises upon standing causes symptoms. You were on the right track with salt, but, it needs to be himalayan pink salt which has 86 different minerals in it unlike regular salt which as two. If you can add vitamin C at the same time as well as extra potassium from something it will help as well.

[@kkaterina12]

akaSuzanne I completely agree!!!!!!

[@lluna1266]

Agree, she looked a bit pale too, low blood pressure definitely wouldn’t help

[@marytillman8758]

akaSuzanne as a Nurse I second that advice. It's nice to meet you.

[@Diana-tf5xq]

I 100% agree with everything you said👍👍👍

I totally see why you fell in love with each other. The real mystery is how is there not a constant stream of love struck people following the two of you around. Just absolutely amazing women y’all are.

Emily Hayward I never knew you but I watch your videos all the time. You were a very strong young woman, and your KZbin family misses you very very much and I'm sure your girlfriend does too. You have been such an inspiration here on KZbin and even though God has called you home you've made your mark on the world people are watching your videos everyday to gain inspiration as they fight cancer. I know you're in heaven but I hope you can hear this and I hope you can see this you are very loved and you are missed very very much every day. I wish I had had the chance to meet you maybe we'll see each other one day again in heaven may God bless your heart, you are loved ... rest in peace young lady 💖

i want to hug that dog omg so sweet

[@Darkangel-hy8ev]

alice-laura Me to,i wish someone would give that beautiful fur baby a cuddle and the gorgeous cat.Let me just say first off my heart breaks for this girl,and i think she is an inspiration,and its awful what she went through and was took way to soon. However that aside im hoping and i presume the cat and dog arent theirs? does anyone know? i know its not their house,i dont think,they live with one or the others parents i belive,im hoping the animals belong to them,as ive never hardly seen either of them even stroke those animals,yet alone consider taking the dog for a bloody walk,that would of been a great form of exercise for her and the poor dog,instead of that stupid gym all the time! They were always out and about,never took the dog,i really couldnt belive it,animals give you such joy and comfort especially in times of sadness and illness etc I guess you only will understand this if you are a true animal lover.I really dont think either of them are,and its very obvious! Just hope the animals belong to the parents,does anyone know? Animals are precious to and deserve to be loved and treated right,broke my heart seeing that dog hanging around all the time,and no one ever bothering with him,and you never ever saw the cat really.I have animals,and i kiss and give them cuddles everyday,as it should be.Dont come for me guys,i feel very strongly about animals,and just dont understand when people have them,and ignore them,lets hope ive got it wrong,and they are the parents animals.R.I.P Emily.

Oh wow Aisha is the best! What a lovely gathering of your friends you worked with Emily! How cool is that!!!! 💐💕❤️ I love how you two talk to each other it is so cute!!!! ❤️ Some lovely gifts you both received and I hoped it brightened you both up even if it was raining! To your blackouts I would ask your nurse. The only thing I can come up with is if you are lying down or sitting purposely move slowly so it won’t give you that black out feeling. But honestly I don’t know. You are still looking well and I am happy you are having some fun this week!! 😀 My day was shit but when I opened my phone and saw your notification I was all smiles and all my shit went away!

[@msmeow8913]

Emily - It’s lovely to see you & Aisha enjoying time together and to watch you unwrapping gifts - you both deserve them! Please do take extra good care to really rest up whilst you are experiencing what sounds like very low blood pressure/feeling faint - understandably, you must be exhausted and in need of lots of extra rest. We all love you Emily & Aisha XXXX

[@kerimoore8392]

I have had the blackouts that you are having, for as long as I can remember I used to get them during growth spurts and I still get them for couple of weeks at a time sometimes collapsing to the floor. I have always been told they are ‘head rushes’ caused by standing up to quick and the blood pressure in your brain getting too low for a few seconds I can only suggest making a conscious effort to get up slowly when standing up, if lying down don’t go straight to standing but sit up for a few seconds first. Possibly try to be aware, that like with me sometimes they can make you collapse so be careful not to fall on anything and hopefully they will pass after a week or so. I hope this helps, and I want you to know that I honestly aspire to be more like you, a strong, honest, kind person who has a gift of bringing sunshine into peoples lives.

[@nickew117]

Sweetheart 💞 dont stress about how often you upload, please. If youre struggling mentally or physically, aside from the meds I can honestly recommend breathing exercises and meditation, they are both fab for calming anxiety and are a fab coping mechanism.

You two are totally the best, you're always full of joy fun and laughter, and I'm sure that for you Emily it must be the hardest ever thing to be every time you come visit us, and as for Aisha, well!!!......she just amazing, to be always so cheerful and so encouraging for you, Bless her because I'm certain that cannot be easy for her especially when she loves you so much but she never complains and always has a smile on her very beautiful face. Emily I think those blackouts you asked our opinion on, is your blood pressure problem, I've also just come through two cancers (I've just been told I'm in remission, haha but then I've been told that before - I still keep smiling though) anyway I too get those blackouts and the oncologist says its the BP, so hopefully yours is for the same reason, I'm sure it will be. My love to you both and I have to say this, that to tell the truth its such a relief when I see your up on YT, I start looking from about 9pm then throw a big wobbly if your late lol.

Aw, you can tell how tired you are and the drugs are really causing you grief. I believe you are going to “get back on it” so don’t worry about your vlogs. They are still awesome and you two are still amazing no matter what. I’m so glad Aisha got a nice present, and it looks great on her. I’m a newish subscriber and you are fascinating. I am well but have spent my life scared shitless of cancer. My mom died of it when I was 20. That was a long time ago and they didn’t have half the treatments they do today. So just go with it and the way you feel each hour and each day and when you can give more and do more you will. You are amazing. Aisha is amazing. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and many many more.

[@carolehanrahan]

You two crack me up! I love watching the back and forth between you both. I can actually see the love and care that you have for one another and the fact that Aisha thought to invite your friends over to cheer you up was awesome. What a sweetie! I have low blood pressure as well and I have just learned to try to move slowly and purposefully when I get up and if I start to feel like the blackness is coming I find a spot to sit. It can be a bit embarressing to sit yourself down on the sidewalk or curb or in the mall on the floor but I've found it's much less embarressing than falling over fainted and cracking your head on the cement. Funny part of that story is that they called the ambulance and I was so embarressed that I pulled the sheet up over my face and people thought they were taking out a dead body from the mall. I can laugh about it now. Anyway, keep your chin up (and off the floor). Love you both lots.

[@chellyw63]

I experienced the exact same symptoms Emily, whenever I stood up, my vision would be effected and I would see black patches , sometimes my hearing would be effected to and sometimes whenI had a very bad episode, I would feel really sick as well, mine was found to be a sudden drop in my blood pressure, making sure that you remain hydrated can help and that you are eating enough as well, it could well be that one or several of your meds, that they happen to lower your medication. Was so thoughtful and kind of Aisha to invite a few of really close friends round, it’s so wonderful how she knows just what will lift you up , when you have had a challenging time, and you do the same for her her too. Love how gorgeous the garden is looking sending you both love and positivity xxxxxx

Hi Emily, lovely to see you feeling more upbeat! Looks like Aisha organised a fab suprise for you, she really is a diamond. Take it steady, sending lots of love as always ❤

[@hippymama100]

Hiya! I have disautonomia and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and I HIGHLY recommend you to get compression garments for your legs. I wear thigh highs. Also take salt tablets. Makes a world of difference!!!

[@hippymama100]

Yes, but the cause of ones blood pressure dropping when one stands up is blood rushing from the head/top of the body, into the extremities. Wearing compression garments helps keep the blood distributed properly and keeps the blood pressure from crashing so dramatically. The salt tablets work by keeping the blood volume high enough to counteract some of that displacement. So, she could try it out and see if it helps. There's no harm in it.

[@WhisperingJohn]

Aisha is such a lovely calm woman. Positive thoughts, Emily

[@elanamccullum1479]

AISHA IS ABSOLUTELY UNABASHADLY ADORABLE WITH HER LAUGHS😂😂😂

[@lizmacleod4334]

Sounds like postural hypotension, or a sudden drop in blood pressure caused by standing up too quick. Possibly caused by your meds? Just take it easy and no sudden moves!

[@shanonniles8620]

Liz MacLeod That’s what I was thinking! I have the condition myself and I have to keep my fluid and salt intake higher than normal to keep it under control. I drink diluted sports drinks throughout the day and it keeps me from having any fainting episodes.

[@Nettietwixt]

My son has a similar condition. He has to be sure to keep his fluid and salt intake up. Though he's ten and it's a battle sometimes. I wonder it's caused by meds with Emily.

[@loannaxxx8845]

Low blood pressure used have it really bad just eating more made me better. When my blood pressure was low getting up made me dizzy and had to lay down again my breathing was effected, Emily while you on your treatment you have to force yourself to eat or your bringing it up so you will feel like you do, hope you will recover soon love best wishes.x

[@hhwe9785]

Beautiful, healing garden! Fruits = generally sugar. Cancer feeds on sugar (and others) hence recommended little fruit & lots of organic vegetables. Do your own research! Get well, healthy soon.

[@Chelloowie]

Emily i have some blackout tips. I have a condition called POTS that means I blackout constantly throughout the day when I change posture as my blood pressure plummets. Eat more salt to bring your BP up, when it’s happening sit or lay down with your legs elevated, when you stand up get up SUPER slowly so your BP has a chance to fight upwards with you and stay cool as heat makes it lower too. Drink plenty as dehydration makes it go whacky low even without postural change so that’s a big help. I go to the gym to try to get some resistance to the drops, it hasn’t helped a ton but helps mentally. I do sit down weight training on days that it’s really bad and avoid cardio until you have a better grip on it :) hope that helps!

Love love love both of your hoodies!! That’s what I call the hooded sweatshirts. Emily, you crack me up with your caps, I wear caps all the time and I’m constantly turning mine around backwards too. My grandsons always tell me, “Gram?! Why you wearing your hat backwards?!” Well, because I want to, is that a good reason? “Yes, I guess so, but we just thought we should tell you.” Well excellent, I’ve got my own fashion police sounds like. Wonderful to see you two enjoying the beautiful garden as well! Emily, to answer your shout out about what to do about blackouts, I hear you on that one, when I stand up too quickly that happens to me, I have low blood pressure as well, but I just let the moment pass & allow my body to catch back up with my brain. 👍 Have a wonderful weekend!!

[@judithannboyer7099]

Emily, I am so sorry you are feeling worse, I get the black out symptoms in the morning when I rise, my cardiologist suggested to sit on the edge of the bed a few minutes before standing so your head can catch up with your heart beat. I’m sure it is your meds, it’s a pain but I know you will work through it! :)

[@HWolfe]

Oh, and yea, that garden is coming along wonderfully Aisha, and I am a master gardener, and know a good looking layout when I see it.lol...

[@beckbeck8816]

I have low blood pressure as a side effect from an auto-immune disease and decided years ago not to continue with medication because of side effects and you were correct in your other vlog with upping your salt intake! Salt raises your blood pressure but also needs an upped intake of water to be able to retain the salt for it to have any positive affect on your blood pressure. Similarly my eyesight 'blacks out' when I stand up because of something called Vasovagal Syncope and if you google you'll find small exercises you can do to help out with it such as wiggling your toes as you stand up (sounds silly but encourages oxygenated blood to move faster around your body when naturally gravity is taking it away) but can also happen naturally after exercising I've found because of adrenaline and heat. Good luck with everything lovely x

[@nadinerelihan807]

I stumbled upon your channel and I’m just in awe! You’re such a strong person, it’s incredible how you manage to stay positive. You both are so cute together and I truly wish you’ll grow old together despite the odds! Sending you both love 💛

[@Dolphinsz]

Aww you poor thing looks like you are getting worse! But! This does not have to be the big slide! You could bounce back! Love you xx

[@lilybecker1523]

Definitely postural hypotension- blood pooling in your legs and not getting up to your head when you stand up. Compression stockings can really help!

I commented a few times that you looked no more than 16 years old. I was wrong, 14 max. I am totally jealous. It is so nice to see you two loving each other. So inspiring.

[@jasmines3605]

Looks like you had a lovely time with Aisha and your friends, fab vlog as always and really good to see you and know you’re ok. Blackouts sound tough to deal with - not a nurse so no advise but I do have something that I like to say to myself when times are tough (I have an autistic, non verbal toddler who struggles with going to sleep and meltdowns) and that’s the very simple phrase “this too shall pass.” I repeat it to myself loads when I’m struggling and it does really help, things do always pass and life gets back to being good again. You are such a strong woman and you should be so proud of yourself xxx

[@yucabacho]

Wow!!! The garden looks amazing. Sending you those good vibes, as usual. You two rock my world. I hope the blackouts subside... hugs!

[@deborahrushing848]

Wow your garden is just beautiful. Looks a lot like my sisters backyard. I live in second story condo now so I don’t have a yard anymore. The blackout feeling can happen sometimes with different meds. You definitely should speak with your nurse but in the meantime stay very hydrated and increase your salt intake...can be a little tricky with your cankles. Be careful working out until you figure it out.

Hey Em and Aisha, you two continue to inspire me. I have been married to my husband 19 years this July, together 23 years and you and Aisha feel like a couple that's been together that long. My chronic illness took away our chance to have kids, to travel, to do anything involving adrenaline because it makes me go into anaphylactic shock. I think your cancer has bonded you two as well. You've both been faced with adversity and continue striving and doing your best to stay positive. I love you both so much and I've never even met you. Seems odd, but seems right at the same time. Praying steady. You're a rock star xo😉🇨🇦❤p.s don't worry about how often you post, or what the content is like, we just want to see you and Aisha and Cookie and know you're all ok

[@hairnettv6821]

Emily!!! Ur backyard looks so pretty! Aisha, has a green thumb! As far as ur blackouts/dizziness, call ur nurse. She will help u figure it out...get some rest and move slowly...lots of water, lots of good food! Love u both!

[@elainemurphy509]

Aisha you're so good at keeping things normal a great support for Emily. Emily you are just amazing, xxxx

[@marzipanlady2800]

I agree with those saying that it might be low blood pressure. Stay hydrated, steer clear of the gym and definitely talk to your nurse!

[@melissajohnson2935]

Its called orthostatic hypotension. The only thing to help is, figuring out what's causing it, stay hydrated and get up slower. It could be a sign of anemia. But it could also be caused from your cancer and/or your meds. You can diagnose yourself with a b/p machine. Check your b/p when laying down, then sitting up, then standing. If you do get a automatic b/p machine, I highly recommend one with a upper arm cuff. The wrist ones are convenient but are far less accurate.

[@melissajohnson2935]

You can also try compression stockings, up your salt intake. Definitely let you medical team know. It's probably a side effect of your treatments but they still may check you heart to just be sure.

[@HeyyyEverybody]

I feel so blessed and privileged to be a part of "this lot." There is nothing but love over here. I want to send Aisha a package just for her because I love her reactions so much (and of course because she deserves it). Love to both of you from Tennessee over here in the States. ❤

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

[@shelleystevens9660]

Emily sounds like low blood pressure,I suffer from high blood pressure.. just be careful,and not to over due things ,i.e. the gym ...glad you guys had a great day with your friends . Keep strong . X

[@tina4niko]

I have very low blood pressure. If I stand up too quick I pass out! Just take things really slowly when you go to stand up. Sending you girls loads of love. And thank you so much for the vlog. Xx

[@deeblick1886]

Emily you are so amazing, stoic and such a great girl. I have only recently found your vlogs on youtube. I admire you 100 percent for how you are handling such a gruelling condition and I love the way you put your vlogs together. You have real talent, courage and balls. XXX

[@christiangautama6486]

Hay emliy Hayward .i subscriber gelnn julifer .i very excited to see you on KZbin .because you are so brave to make video on KZbin.i know you got sick (cancer).and i Will support you.may God bless you .Emily.

[@charchar8608]

I have that problem but mine is when I lie down I almost pass out, even at the Dr's office. She says it's the difference in body positions and your blood pressure trying to adjust. Try Himalayan pink salt in water because it really helps me. Resting is a part of healing. Yoga and stretching with resistance bands can be a satisfying workout in a different way and the breathing techniques can be beneficial towards overall well-being. I know it's a tough time for you both but you will find your way. Peace and love to you, your extended family and to your family and friends...

[@lindaneff2030]

The two of you are so damn adorable. I loved seeing Aisha come skipping out in the beginning with a huge smile and the garden is so lovely. The party looked great, all having a good time. Emily, yeah I think your right sweet pea, it's your blood pressure. Had that myself and was told to get up very slowly. It can be scary. I'm sure your doctor can advise you. Love you both!!!

[@deannahardin6094]

Hi Emily, I have positional hypotension, which is what you're describing. In my case, it's not caused by any illness or medication, but is just a thing my body does. Definitely talk to your doctor, but in the near-term, try squeezing your leg muscles when you stand up, like you're lifting a heavy weight from a squat. This forces blood upwards through your body and combats the drop in blood pressure that's causing the blackouts. The other tactic that works for me is to get up in stages, first sitting very straight, then putting one knee beneath me, and then standing. Take about ten seconds at each stage to give your body a chance to adjust.

[@ginamcleod4321]

What a lovely surprise for you eoth your friends coming over. Awww Aisha's the best eh.

[@karentrombetta3820]

When you get up fast, your blood pressure is dropping quickly causing the blackouts. When you get up, do it slowly, stand still until you get your bearings. When lying down, sit up first and go slowly.

[@kellym7555]

Aisha that was super sweet of you to gather friends and have a surprise bbq! The yard and garden look amazing! Emily, I really hope that this passes with the blackouts and such. I know how scary that must feel. I really hope you've called your nurses and doctors. Maybe you can check in to see if there's a medication to help with low blood pressure?

[@mckinaartis7577]

Ash your a sweet heart u appreciate everything your parents did a wonderful job rasieing you...

[@ip795]

Dearest Aisha! I feel so stupid leaving 3 comments in a row, but let me just say that you are an amazing human being. I know how it is to have your loved one having cancer. You doing a great job. Take care of yourself dear girl.

[@aishahasan3407]

Thank you so much xxxx
