[@nusaocvirk5128]

Thank you 💖💗❤️

[@arieswar4327]

Thank you

[@darondatoole7439]

Dear Sweet Brave One. You are so inspirational. Such an amazing thing you have done by allowing us to join you on your journey. You are a gift. Hugs & prayers

[@Yodasstuff]

You are one tough lady and an inspiration to me. I'm sending positive energy and prayers from Arizona, USA.

[@tammymtampa]

Romee, I am 60 years old. Diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer 3 years ago. Had chemo, radiation, surgery. I now go every 6 months for a checkup and for lab test, the one that the numbers determine if C is coming back. I just wait for the doctor to say yes, it's back. Basically I wish I had just 10% of the mental strength you have and you wonderful attitude through all of this, and at your young, young age. Thank you for your videos. You are such an inspiration. Congratulations on your college degree !!!! With your great attitude and strength, you WILL get thru this Romee ;) I wish I could have been there to play Yahtzee with you !! xo Tammy xo

[@lexiehollens3610]

when I lost my father I used to cry in the shower, it lasted for about two years

[@christineallen764]

I also did the same thing after I lost my Dad. Even though he has been gone three years I still sometimes cry in the shower as I miss him so much.

[@BreezeWithAfrica]

Me as well.. it took me three years.

[@dothatch5147]

I am 74 and have known lots of people along my way with chronic illness. I can honestly say I have never ever met a person as strong as you. Uour attitude is remarkable. I follow all of your videos and no matter what happens to you, you handle it like none other. I pray for healing soon and keep your strength.

[@cg1492]

Stay strong and I hope the month flies by.

[@privateuser3859]

Romee, you're definitely not crazy. Go slowly, one foot in front of the other. You'll get through this. Love from Australia. x

[@breephoenix111]

You can do this Romee 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕. Remember to call your friends and family Romee, it gets lonely in hospital for long stays hun. You're a strong young woman xxx

[@elizabettmallon4796]

I just spent 6 days in the hospital getting my last chemo.... listening worship music helped me a lot.. totally lift my spirit

[@karenbell5309]

You help people more than you know you got this sending postive energy from the uk

[@kristinegarciabroker]

So many of us praying for you! I had some challenges today and I cried..on my birthday at urgent care so believe me…you can cry all you need. I felt better after crying. Probably could use a bit more. Try to sleep well and eat what you can. We all adore you and sending our love!

[@moondoveblueskys8560]

Bless you Romee.. I have cried in the shower many times in the past.. The reason for the shower was so my 3 children didn't see me cry. Its good to let all the stress out. I wish you all the very very best, sending peace health and happiness from the UK. 🇬🇧💜🕊️🕊️🕊️👍

[@DiannaCarney]

Congratulations to your friend & her new tiny miracle!! Babies are so exciting, that’ll be such a fun thing to look forward to when you get out of here! Thanks so much for continuing to keep us updated with life! 🥰

[@Outdoorlass]

I look forward to every one of your videos. You may not think your videos are interesting, but I think they are very informative for me personally. My father had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and I never knew the details. Your vlogs are really wonderful, the every day stuff, how you’re feeling, what you’re doing, that you’re bored, that you’re sad. I love it all. Keep it coming. Oh, and I am so happy that you treated yourself to a new iPhone as a gift for completing your masters. Congratulations! Maybe do another Q&A for an idea for future vlog?

[@_JoyceArt]

Shower cries are the best, your worries, sadness, stress or whatever it is that makes you emotional wash away with the water. I have had those too, just sitting on the shower floor with the water as hot as I can tolerate.

[@annakaster7272]

Watching your courages battle makes all my "problems" go away. You are truly an inspiration.

[@BaileeBlair]

Shower cry’s are the best! You are not crazy you are so so so strong!!

[@duisan8656]

I wish you all the strength possible. Your attitude and positive mindset are really inspiring - you are a warrior. All the best and I hope you will get well very very soon. And congrats on your bachelor´s degree! :)

[@janetoney4714]

Romee, you are braver and stronger than you think. Don't ever worry about having a good cry when you feel like it. It's an excellent stress buster. Keep up the fight beautiful lady. I'm with you all the way. 🙏❤

[@FlowerPower-bl7qp]

I don't know what to say..I wish you a miracle, Romee Dussenbroek. I'll be praying for you.

[@tammyyoungmua]

I wanted to leave a wee message and just say your truly an inspiration, keep fighting and be kind to yourself xx

[@beckyneese186]

Praying for you. God will never leave you. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@pattigreavin8516]

You are not a victim at all! Crying can be so therapeutic. You have been through so much. Remind yourself are far you've come. You are dealing with cancer and yet to managed to get your degree. That's amazing⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@kimberlyholt2241]

You GOT this! Cry if you want to & glad you got yurself a present🤗 You brave soul! 😘

[@lauriestewart3700]

Strongest woman I've ever seen. Going through all that shit. I'd be a basket case no lie.

[@debbibrown2178]

I cry a lot in my shower!! I hate hospital stays and they are never easy! So look in the mirror and say “You got this!!!!! You are strong! You are brave!! You are beautiful!!!!” everyday it helps!

[@mcconkiem]

If you're looking for something to do, I'd highly recommend animal crossing for switch if you haven't played already. Hang in there!

[@thelittlewhitebird]

I was going to comment the same. I was addicted for weeks lmao.

[@barbara8802]

Yes! I love being on my 🏝

[@3NSII]

I agree, I was never into gaming but it got me into it. Animal crossing is a calm game to play and it helps killing time / having negative thoughts.

[@ButterflyMama]

I love it too! I get lonely often after my only son passed away from many health problems. I was his home nurse. So, my animals (or villagers) keep my smiling and sometimes laughing. It’s fun redecorating and terraforming. Animal Crossings can be always changing if you want. Sending you love and hugs and praying for great health and being cancer free after all of your treatments. Xo

[@HumdrumCurio]

My animal crossing island kept me sane for a long time. It’s so fun and if you have internet you can visit other people ❤️

[@SkyEaglespirit]

You are a Warrior Romee!! 💪 I pray for your complete healing & I know you will be 100% cured of all that your fighting! Love you..❤

[@melissavanoosten6678]

I admire your strength and positive attitude. Sending you lots of love Romee!

[@dee_ewell_pierce]

Shower cries are a natural part of life! Prayers for your upcoming stem cell transplant. Our Pastor is having his next month.

[@jemmahamilton-shead7255]

Hey there! Hang in there, you're so nearly done!!! I also cry in the shower, I think you already know we all do too! I came across your vlog whist watching path lab videos (I work as a Scientist in Cancer Diagnostics in the UK). Yours is my 1st and only vlog I follow! I've learnt so much so thank you for being so open and honest! Sending powerful healing vibes for those stem cells to do their thing!! Can't wait for more updates! Jemma

[@jennyvdwesthuizen2478]

You are a strong and brave person💐💐💐💐❤️🙏🏻 sending you positive vibes from Jeffrey’s Bay South Africa 🇿🇦

[@Haazziee]

Girl, sending you all my love. Can’t wait to see you back to normal, healthy, happy, your full potential. I pray for that everyday for you. PLEASE BE THE LAST CHEMO!!!! 🙏🏻❤️ Love from Maine, USA.

[@amyt6254]

Congratulations on your graduation!! You are fabulous! I’m so sorry for the chemo you have had to go through and for the boredom. All of that would be so hard. I would cry, too. I’m trying to think of something you could do to decrease the boredom when you are in the hospital. You may have already tried origami or other paper crafts like junk journaling or glue books. (I am pretty new here, so not sure of your interests.) There are some great videos online related to those activities. Just learning about them can be fun to do, as it gets your mind planning for your next project even if you can’t work on a big project just yet. Maybe memorize something like jokes, poetry, verses, or a language. The Yatzee by yourself was a good idea. Best wishes!

[@carolwood9270]

Yes, we are with you big time. I think about you often and pray for you through the day. I have sort of adopted you into my heart. ……love you Romee…..

[@lindacraig5056]

Oh Romee I am with you I feel exactly the same way today. Cancer Sucks BIG TIME. I hope the rest of your hospital stay goes fast and everything works out great. Stay strong. Watch the olympics while you are there takes your mind off of things.

[@SprinkleMeKute]

You can get an adult coloring book and some color pencils. The adult coloring book is so fun but more importantly its extremely relaxing! You should definitely give it a go.

[@lexiehollens3610]

Congratulations on your graduation!!

[@JustmeKelliC]

My son took oxalipatin and had to eat ice the entire the bag was going in. It wasn't too bad it goes quick. Also, his peripheral neuropathy got really bad during this drug and gabapentin was a blessing to help with the pain. Hope this month goes by quickly for you. Hugs🤗

[@kurtcraig3421]

i spent 5 weeks in hospital and it truly sucks ass, watch plenty of tv to pass the time, and get every friend you have to visit individually.

[@Eva-gs5uk]

Hi Romee! What saved me during my hospital stays was getting into embroidery. I could be really creative with it and try new stitches, or if I wasn't feeling up to it, some simple stitches on a piece of clothing I already owned. Cross stitch kits are great too- there's less decisions to make which can be great if you're tired but looking to create something!

[@maryannoneill7224]

Romero..sending you good vibes and prayers. You are doing so well.. it's normal to be sad sometimes,..shower crying is a good outlet .

[@kkyles605]

Romee, as I am also undergoing cancer treatments, I understand your need to get in the shower and cry. It's all a mental merry go round. You feel fine, but you have this thing that has grown in your body and you've got to get rid of it. I had a lot of "how did this happen? why did this happen?" Having a good talk with my doctor helped and like you, having a good cry, and then getting back to business (treatment) and knowing that it will soon be over. You are so strong, hang in there and Yay for the last chemo treatment!

[@princessbuma7661]

Hello 👋 My hubby is from NL. He was born in Den Haag and grew up in Zoetermeer. I moved there after we married and we stayed there for 2 yrs then made our official home in the States. Which area *town* are you getting treatments at? I'm actually a cancer survivor. I was drawn to you because of you having cancer and living in NL 😊 I had childhood Leukemia ALL. Was diagnosed at 4 yrs old. I went thru loads of Chemo...3.5 yrs straight. I'm now 43 yrs old with no relapse. It is awesome you are keeping busy and not sitting at home all the time alone and thinking about life. Keep your head up and know you have a Dutch guy in the US and an America girl rooting for you 💞 Tot Zo 😘

[@pamelav8819]

NOTHING better than a good cry !! It cleanses the soul & recharges you ❤🙏 BTW love the arm cover for the shower !! I had a pic line 20 yrs. Ago for 10 wks. & it s*cked taking a shower.. I wrapped it w/ a trash bag & I had about 5 min. Before the tape started to come undone ...

[@sharonevans]

Hang in there. Cry scream and just know we are with you. You are so brave

[@karbear26]

Ok 1 week down only a couple more left you can do it!! Yes to this being your last chemo!!! You’ve done such an amazing job!! Crying in the shower is a great idea! I hope it helped your mental state! Sounds like you have lots of activities but yes being by yourself isn’t fun!

[@cathyfield4765]

Hi, please embrace your tears, you will be releasing beneficial endorphins. Also enjoy stress relief by knitting. If you are too wound up to follow a pattern, just knit endless rows to keep a rhythmic pace that will help you become relaxed. Best wishes for successful treatments.

[@ioletmcfarland3017]

Don't cry just be happy that ur alive and well romee

[@breannag5082]

Uhg I 100% understand that picc line troubles. I also had a picc line for 3 months and struggled with skin reactions from the tape. We went through several versions of dressings and finally found the IV 3000 sensitive dressing was the best! Good luck!! Hopefully last chemo EVER! At least no more pokes while with picc line (:

[@barbhelle5481]

You are in my prayers. You for sure have the right to cry whenever you need to. You are a strong woman. Hugs from the USA.

[@MRKakala]

Thinking of you during these tough times. I'm watching your video and said out loud "you're so brave!" Although you have down times your brave enough to keep fighting keep moving and keep striving forward. Praying and keeping you in our prayers for a Speedy recovery. As you asked for suggestions on things to do, Try reading the bible or download the bible app it has some pretty amazing encouraging messages and daily bible verses that will keep you busy while in treatment ❤ take care x

[@delondaroberts2753]

So happy to see a new video. You are such a strong beautiful young lady. The month will be gone before you know it. Sending love and hugs.

[@meganbarto4138]

You've gone through so much so I don't blame you feeling a little mentally down. I would too. Being stuck in a room is super hard I'm sure. Congratulations on graduating! You deserve that new phone! Also, if you get Netflix..try and watch Virgin River..its soo good!

[@brigettebray6463]

We all cry our eyes out. You are allowed to have down time. It comes and goes. Luv you sweetheart 💓

[@ChakaLostie]

You go girl!! Thanks for bringing us with you on your journey. I love that you planned a crying session! I always think crying is the body’s way of getting rid of pent-up ‘bad’ energy and feelings. It’s like a pressure release - a reset. I call them my CTRL-ALT-DEL moments! Stay strong and keep smiling (and occasionally crying because that’s okay too)! 😊

[@christinebogers89]

Kom op Romee je bent er bijna ik vind je zo'n held hou nog even vol ik vind totaal geen pieper in tegen deel ik heb zoveel bewondering voor je moed en doorzetting 's vermogen!!! Een studie zo knap afronden onder deze moeilijke omstandigheden je bent een held!!!!!Sterkte en beterschap en aftellen tot dat je weer naar huis mag!

[@debrasopp6115]

You are an amazing young lady. You hang in there you got this.

[@barbaracilley8200]

Thank you for your update. It’s so good to see you. I will keep praying for your continued strength and courage. A nurse below has Mentioned something they use in the hospital for your mouth when your getting chemo. Check it out.

[@susanbenson6108]

Yes, I did that too when I had breast cancer. It felt so good to release all that emotion. Also, going into the closet and screaming into a pillow until you can't scream anymore was awesome! You are one tough cookie!! Stay strong sweetie you got this!

[@silvialogan9226]

Romee, suffering from mental depression is quite normal undergoing treatments because having this terrible disease and doing all these treatments can be quite devastating. I hope that it will be the last chemo which you are getting and you will be healed from cancer forever.

[@MissAna5]

My prayers, Girl🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you are the fighter! 👍🏻 so much Love and big hugs from the United States🤗❤️

[@juliearnone1421]

So glad to have found your channel! I have been in the hospital every month in 2021 with Crohn's Disease complications and rectal cancer. I'm actually writing this in the hospital right now. I'm in the process of trying to decide whether I want to do chemo and seeing people like you lets me know I'm not alone. The nurses think I'm still too weak to take a shower so I had to do a bed bath & I actually cried all my stress out too. Does that count as a shower cry?! Lol. Also I'm just curious-- why didn't they give you a port? I have one and it's made life so much easier 😌 Thanks for sharing your story with us and hang in there!

[@supersparkley123]

I usually just cry by myself in my bedroom, but I like the idea of crying it out in the shower! 🚿 i don’t like to cry in front of others, unless it’s family! I am praying for your comfort, being pain free, and not sick from the chemo! ❤️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 from 🇺🇸

[@mysticalmisty9772]

Ahh sweetie you let it out & cry! It’s the best stress etc buster I know of… hang in there we’re all there for you xxx

[@jwilson2042]

You are absolutely incredible. Of course it’s okay to cry in the shower, I’m doing it all the time at the moment. It’s good to release the build-up of stress and emotion. Never be ashamed to cry. Love and light Romee. ❤️🙏❤️

[@barbtries]

You will beat this. I'm sorry you have to go through all this misery in the meantime, but you deal with it so much better than I would. Hat's off to you

So excited for your last chemo! Praying you get through the stem cell treatment easily as well. Just wondering what your plans are after you get through all this. I'm positive you will succeed if you tackle it with the same positivity that you faced this cancer with. I, too, cry in the shower. You are definitely not alone.
