Thank you.
Thank you! I forgot to add chapters on this video and haven’t gotten around to it yet
Go to America or canada ASAP and get high grade pure cannabis oil, the cancer will be gone in months.@@SamanthaL

So is that because people just want to skip to that part and not listen to the lead up to it?? I will definitely listen to the whole thing, love
Stay hopeful. I’m in year 12 of Stage 4. Breast Cancer spread to my bones. Ignore anyone that isn’t supportive or hopeful.
God bless you
My first diagnosis was in 2012. I was good for 5 years and then 2017 it came back stage 4. I’m thankful to Jesus that l’ve lived this long. As a nurse l have seen my cases often.
I heard "fenbendazole" aka dog dewormer powder off of Amazon cures cancer, and for breast cancer bee venom cures that from what I seen

I've gone through almost the same thing. Cancer in 2021, NED after treatment. End of last year, my neck started to hurt. Like you, I thought nothing off it and tried to ignore it. Then had physical therapy until the pain got so unbearable that I had an MRI and it showed a fracture in my T1 vertebrae. I had surgery two days later followed by 22 rounds of radiation and a shot of xgeva every four weeks. Today, 3 months later, I'm back working, mowing the lawn, riding my bike and walking my dog. You got this!
Glad to hear you are doing well
God bless you
That's amazing news! I lost a friend to cancer, it pains me to hear people going through this stuff.
the sad part is the doctors give treatment instead of giving ppl the cure, yes there is a cure for every disease, also natural cures exist@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309
I'm happy you are doing great now I wish you the best ❣️🙏🏻💚💞🇧🇷
A friend of mine has had spinal metastases for 15 years. She is still well. Stay strong.
Thank you for sharing this
Great to know. Samantha you’ll be fine ❤
Good to know, thanks for giving hope. I truly believe that your mental state and attitude helps keep things under control. Take one day at a time.
I bet she had suffered all those years. Even though she is still alive but she did a lot of suffering.
That is amazing!! Such inspiring news !!!! 😊
Has she been on active treatment during this time? I'm interested as I'm stage 4 and mine keeps spreading 🙄 but they have ran out of safe treatments for me. I last had a brain tumor removed and radiotherapy on my head last October but it's still in my windpipe and possibly in my lung again.
I'll find out after my PETCT scan next week 😬
I love hearing these cases that defy the odds 🙌
I have had cancer twice and I’m disgusted with anyone who leave’s negative comments. Shame on you!!! Do you have any idea the strength it takes to go through surgery, tests, scans and just the waiting to find things out. I hope the best for you. Please don’t listen to the negative comments as the people who leave those are mentally unstable. ❤🙏🏻
As a breast cancer survivor, I can say that the ignorance of anyone telling you that you did something wrong……is mind blowing. It just has absolutely nothing to do with any of the nonsense you were told. Follow the guidance of your medical care team, those you trust and those who love you. Above all, do not pay ANY attention to negative comments.
Come on, no one is that evil. Well maybe a few idiots.
The people who do not wish her well are the people who are saying she was indulging in hubris. It's because she had a baby despite having stage 4 cancer. It was, I suspect, self-righteousness about the baby. That she would leave her baby without a mother.
I am not saying that should ever have been something said by anyone to Samantha or ANYONE ELSE IN HER SHOES. Far from it.
But I also confess when she did it (I have been subscribed to her channel for a long time), I did wonder what she was thinking in getting pregnant. I can understand freezing your eggs and wanting to wait to see how things go. What if she had had a sudden explosion of cancer while she was pregnant? Admittedly Gray is a great guy, but we are talking about creating, possibly, a very tragic circumstance.
But as Samantha has said, she is about living her life, not worrying it away. There are plenty of people who have small children and get killed in car accidents. There are no guarantees. But their baby will have two outstanding parents and infinite love for as long as she can and the only thing that MIGHT change is the loss of one of her parents and god willing, not nore than that.
Ya… people can say whatever they want until… it happens to them.
I totally agree with you, it’s a huge bet, you could win, you could also loose!

Wishing you happiness and sending you prayers. My heart with you. Take care ❤️
People can be awful
I'm so sorry that anyone has made you feel judges, they have no right to say anything, please know there are many of us supporting you and wanting the very best for you.
It’s the internet. They have a right. It’s also a well known fact and risk having a baby if you’ve had cancer. She’d have known this. Hence of course people are going to comment on it.
@@zhaviyah84 No no, you're mistaken. She has every right to do whatever she wants for her own body and people giving her shit about how it's her fault that her cancer came back is bullshit and uncalled for. If you're purpose in making a comment is to make them feel bad or worse, shame on you.
@@zhaviyah84no, no one has THE RIGHT to judge someone living their life and trying to be happy, especially just because it’s the internet. She’s been through far enough, she’s a young woman, trying to make the most of her life.
It’s the internet, so you can be a jerk? You’re screwed up.

Hi Samantha, my channel is a cancer journey too, and I get the anti-sugar brigade in my comments too. I also get the fasting and keto crew too. So I really feel for you. I know exactly what you are talking about. Be strong. Have sugar or not. Keto or not. Fast or not. Whatever you choose, I support you. Best of luck, and best wishes. Ours is a difficult journey, as only we know. Paul.
💜
Paul, I’ve been following your channel… you are also in my humble prayers 🙏
So sorry, sending you prayers, stay strong. Peace and faith, peace and faith, …
I feel sorry for you but what you commented is not good. Sugar, tea, coffee, refined oils, packaged food will shorten your chances of cure.
@@amuj10k258agree! All this items make me so sick. When I stopped eating unhealthy food, my kidneys healed. I was at stage 5.
To EVERYONE....I PRAY FROM THE CORE OF MY HEART for you and all to recover from this disease and Allah bless you with health and kind heart. Amen
Aameen
Thank you 😊
🥰I had recurrent ovarian cancer and it was stage four the second time and I am telling you five years later, as of September 18, I will be clear for five years. It is possible to beat this Samantha! I promise you! And anyone who says anything negative to you is a piece of SH*T! To those people…KARMA DOES COME INTO PLAY AND YOU *WILL* REGRET BEING MEAN TO SOMEONE VULNERABLE! Love, Love, Love Samantha! 😽
Love this!
Just what l wanted to hear today. I’ve been told l have stage 4 colon rectal cancer after having gone through cancer previously. I am devastated. I’m working through different approaches.

My sister died from Ovarian 3 years ago and I’m still struggling with it so it’s so good to see someone survive it. She was 36.
Imagine being so devoid of empathy that you wish someone's cancer comes back. What a world we live in.
Much love n prayers 🙏 Hope you get the best care and are surrounded by compassionate nurses n Drs.
I dont think people were saying THAT, were they? They were saying "I told ya so", which is slightly less heinous. I still think these people were poorly trained and possibly even on the spectrum. No awareness of socially unacceptable.
Also, I think they were thinking of Samantha's baby. As though a recurrence was inevitable and that she was inviting disaster and it wasn't fair to the baby. But of course, that totally underestimates Samantha and Gray and suggests THEY hadn't thought all these issues through.
I prefer to think they aren't evil. Just stupid.
@@aliceschmid9697THERE IS NO DEFENDING THEM ALICE ..Please re read that post your post because you just admitted what they said to her was less ""HEINOUS"" a touch heinous is extremely, heartless, insensitive, and inappropriate to post. Grown Adult's should know that "if you can't say anything nice then don't say at all" keep negativity and EXTREMELY INSENSITIVE comments to themselve's.. We teach children and grandchildren that, so why are so many Adult's not doing it.. There's no defense for someone who would post that to a cancer patient it was heartless void of empathy and sympathy ... Absolutely no justification for them ..
@@aliceschmid9697... NO they weren't thinking of her baby don't make excuses for deplorable heartless behavior..
@@aliceschmid9697They're not evil or stupid they're heartless and don't have sympathy and empathy for other people.

❤❤❤. 2 time breast cancer survivor.1st cancer 1996. Second 2007. Still here. ❤❤❤.
I am a breast cancer survivor, and you are one of the strongest woman I know , and I will be praying for you. Only listen to the people that love you, and are positive.
Praying
Samantha, you have done nothing to deserve this. Cancer is evil, devious, and completely unfair. Just continue being the warrior that you are, and pay no attention to any ignorant comments. Sending hugs and good vibes. ❤
facts and I heard "fenbendazole" aka dog dewormer powder off of Amazon cures cancer
Look at it differently.
Answer to yourself; what is cancer. Not from doctors. They teach rubbish.
Who does anything to deserve cancer? NOBODY deserves cancer!
She's paying for the wrong that Adam and Eve did in the garden. And I dare a believer in God say anything different.
@AngelaJones-db9fj cancer is avoidable and removable in a peaceful way. Cancer is from a parasites in our body. She is paying for believing in the system.
I been battling stage 4 breast cancer for about a year now. Treatment is going well. It is scary and the future is never certain but there’s always new breakthroughs.
Whoever would go into a person's comments and say something cruel when the person is sharing sad news, that person is sick and has serious problems.
Having said that I am praying for you ❤
2015 I was diagnosed with stage 4 double lung cancer! I’m now a 5x double lung, lymph node, rib and brain cancer survivor/ fighter! Unless you’re smoking 5 packs of cigarettes a day, you didn’t do anything to make cancer reoccur! My first cancer occurrence I was having back pain and scan’s didn’t show anything! Dealt with pain for almost a year until pet scan showed a hot spot in that area! Biopsy was performed right in the area of the back into the lung which confirmed the cancer returned. Listen to your body and don’t hold off in getting answers!
Samantha, I'm sorry there are hateful, horrible people in the world who would ever say ugly things to you. There are many, many more of us that love you to pieces and think you are the most amazing person in the world. Sending hugs, prayers and good wishes to you and your family. ❤
As someone who knows a lot about cancer, I can tell you that you absolutely did nothing to bring on your metastasis, or your original diagnosis.🌸
Stopping treatment and getting pregnant with oestrogen positive stage 4 definitely didn't help tho.
@@paulinakonopka9211 Are you an Oncologist? If not, why are you commenting negatively? What's wrong with you?
Sadly it is true. I had work on the oncology department and oncologist don’t recommend to have a baby when you have a cancer, especially a oestrogen positive cancer. It is like feeding the cancer. And with stage 4, she already was having cancer inside her. But she propably already knew it and was accepting the risk.
@@Armistead_MacSkye she need to stop feeding baby milk. i tell true.. the genetic already in the mother milk. better follow utube Chris Beat Cancer
Hi Samantha! I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2017. My oncologist opted for estrogen therapy. Ibrance, letrozole, Herceptin, xgeva, and faslodex worked up until a month ago. The cancer moved to my liver. It’s only 2mm so they can’t do a biopsy. Besides that it had already metastasized to my bones and lungs in 2017. MBC has definitely changed my life. I started chemotherapy again on 8/24/23. This time my oncologist chose to start me on Enhertu. I’ve only had one treatment so far and honestly it made me very tired and l experienced nausea for 4 days afterwards. Zofran did help slightly. Of course I’m out on disability and l don’t know if l will ever return back to work. Cancer really sucks. I hope things go well with you. Forget what people think. This is your journey and no one have a right to judge you.
I’m sorry to hear you’re going through all of this. If zodran not working well, they might give you promethazine. I get migraines with nausea and that works like a charm. God bless. ❤
@@halliehorn7523 my oncologist prescribed Prochlorperazine 100 mg. It works much better. Thank you so much.
Hand in there darling, I hope your oncologist can find a way for you to reduce the nausea to a minimum... Enhertu is a super drug but unfortunately it does come with nausea, but we have many medications including aprepitant and akinzeo that might work
You qualify for expedited Disability through Social Security Administration. Apply right away. Do not be discouraged if you are denied the first time-appeal!
@@Bruised-Not-Broken I applied for ssdi under the “ compassionate allowance” my application has been expedited. I should hear something in a couple of weeks. I have the 40 credits and years of monthly medical records. I applied for LTD through my last job which l worked 20 years and now they are firing me soon. Reasoning is me being out beyond December 1st will cause the employer an “undue hardship”🤷🏿♀️ God has this and he has always provided for me so I’m certain he won’t fail me now. ❤️
Oh, honey…once we’ve been diagnosed with cancer, any unusual or constant pain is an alert. So sorry you are going through this. Prayers for you n family
Samantha, I’ve watched you from the beginning and went through breast cancer and treatment a few months behind you. Your informative videos helped me so much. The fear of recurrence is always in the back of our minds and F anyone who judges you. I feel like the one thing I’ve learned from having cancer is that we all have the right and the gift to live life on our own terms. Whatever that looks like for each of us. Girl, I’m at the beach on vacation and had a double dip ice cream cone today. Donuts for breakfast yesterday. There are so many conflicting views on cancer and ultimately the bottom line is that no one knows why we get it. Manage your pain and live your life on your terms. I will be keeping you in my prayers as well as your family. Such a blessing to be moving back home where you have family to help. Sending loads of love and healing. I know you’ve got this! 🩷
Thank you so much for this comment
Nicely said, hope you are enjoying your vacation! The beach is just such a great place to be ❤ F haters and F cancer!
i would check in with your doctor first to make sure there are no medication interactions and nothing bad will happen to you but there is a person on youtube an italian doctor that cures cancer with sodium bicarbonate ( baking soda ) and is convinced cancer is an overgrown fungus. i would look into more natural and healthy alternatives then what they give to you in the hospital because it is extremely deadly and alot of the time doesnt work. oregano oil also seems to be another really good one for fungus and bacteria overgrowth. www.youtube.com/@ListenToYourGut1st/videos i like this persons product because they seem to know what they are doing and they explain how you arent supposed to chemically change and process the oregano oil and you dont want anything added to it. a few years ago i had a white patch on my tongue that woudlnt go away even when i brushed it and after i started looking up what it could be alot of mouth cancer looked like that so i started to freak out and did alot of research on cancer on the internet and what i found was surprising. after the first time of trying baking soda the white patch on my tongue completely went away and never came back. good luck hopefully this could help you find a safer and healthier alternative to chemotherapy

Oh Samantha I am so sorry to hear this. I have been battling Metastatic Breast Cancer for 3.5 years. I have Mets in my spine as well. You are young and strong you got this. So many new treatments are out there for us. I have talked to some people that have had Metastatic Breast Cancer for over 20 years so it gives me lots of hope. Hope you get some relief soon and they figure out your treatment plan. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
I am so sorry, Linda.
Pain is doing well! Thanks for your comment 🥰
So sorry prayers from Alabama 😊
I am very glad to live in a country, where getting an MRI isn´t a matter of money. If you need it, you get it.
Yeah, because that’s what you’re supposed to focus on here, different countries’ health care payment systems. You’re very astute aren’t you?
Just found your channel! I was a nurse and oncology and hospice were my favorites. Just listening to you today was a blessing and you are now on my prayer list! Today treatments for metastatic breast cancer are sooo much better (though still lots of pain as you know). This is not the end of your story. You are in God’s hands, and all of us who truly care about you will continue to pray and love you no matter what!❤️🙏❤️
Thanks you for your work with people! God Bless
Your favorites? Umm ok
God do for you the best. Miracle and health.you always to hope your save from this desease ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@wandah9468 of course I do. The truth hurts stay mad
My maternal grandmother succumbed to stage 4 ovarian cancer in 2004. The hospice workers, I am convinced, were angels walking on Earth. I get exactly what you mean when you said that cancer and oncology cases were your favorites...your most meaningful work. I am so glad that there are people who do this work so that us family members and care givers can focus in what we need to be focusing on.
People are horrible……don’t take it on. You got this…we’re all behind you every step of the way. Watching from Canada
Sorry about this please 🙏 to recover!
I’m sorry I have been battling metastatic breast cancer through out my bones for 8 years. This has been my worst year. I have had about 15 fractures. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
It’s so frustrating hearing how much pain you had to go through to get answers. You’ve got the strength for this, even when you doubt yourself.
Now she needs to advocate more for herself! Especially in the USA where Medical treatment is a business, based on whether the treatment is paid for, or not. Which is appalling! When told to have Physical Therapy, then to pay for an MRI SCAN, following a previous Cancer diagnosis , that's EXACTLY what needed to be done!! I hope, in her future treatments, she actually makes her decisions based on her Medical advice. She could have easily been diagnosed, and had treatment, before having to suffer such terrible extremes of agony. It's awful that the Cancer is back. And it's sickening to know that, both before and following Surgery, this beautiful girl has had to endure such pain. I'm not judging her, even though it reads that way. I'm a nurse who is both saddened, and frustrated, about the decision making in this case. BY THE PATIENT!! It's horrifying that she, needlessly, suffered for a lack of clarity around her decisions. And not getting a new Oncologist? I don't know how long she's lived here, and don't care if they planned to move again!! They should have been in touch with an Oncologist where they now live. 2° breast Cancer is hardly rare! They're now parents to a BABY. Not teens just randomly travelling around , with zilch in the way of responsibility! They need to grow up , think more deeply and not live in a state of denial over Health issues! Makes me so mad!! Why didn't THEIR parents step up and guide them more?? Still, I wish her every blessing as she continues to recover from Surgery and as they go forward. Cancer is an evil illness which absolutely NOBODY ever deserves. May this couple and their baby enjoy many, many Happy years ahead of them .
Your a very brave young woman. Please don’t read the negative comments, mean people don’t deserve the attention
hi samantha! im 17 and undergoing treatment for ewings sarcoma (bone and soft tissue cancer) and im really sorry for all the negative comments youve surfaced on ur AMAZING and truly INSPIRATIONAL channel!! i came across your channel when I wanted to view other cancer patients and their victory over the disease and your channel has been one of the ones i come back to watch!! wish you the luck and strength to beat this again! we got this:)
💐 🌸 🌷 🌻
Best wishes and prayers to you
Wish you the best, sincerely.
❤❤❤❤❤
thank you!!
I am sorry that this is happening. I officially became cancer free last month ( remission) after 2 years of treatment. But for me it’s not remission, it’s just maintenance. It’s horrible how people think that we did something wrong. It’s not your fault and I am glad you had a baby and moved on with your life. We deserve to have a life because we did nothing wrong. Stay strong! Love your videos ❤❤❤
Wishing you all the best 🎉
@@trapsav1369Thank you. I am trying 🙂
It's your parents fault. If she wasn't born, she or anyone else would not be experiencing cancer.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone is trying to find a cure, telling me what diets I should try. They’ll never understand it’s nothing you did wrong. You’re so strong and brave ❤
No-one is saying she did anything wrong, they are suggesting things that might help. The comments are coming out of concern
The jab
@@grzlbr it has probably played a big part
Words are empty, at least others are trying to help, you seem very full of yourself and actually you are the judgemental one trying to second guess the motives of others
I think when something is said out of actual concern it is wrapped in kindness. Even I, who believes that a healthy diet is extremely important, could never imagine what having cancer would feel like, and I am not a doctor, so I can’t be so cavalier to come and give advice. Especially in a hurtful way. It helps no one to say “i told you so”, or is saying that magically gonna resolve the cancer? Of course not. That is just self righteousness, and “wanting to be right”. So selfish
Hi Sam; First time seeing a video of yours. I could literally feel the pain you described as I was just diagnosed with stage 4 Colon cancer that has spread to my ovaries liver and lungs.
I get those shooting pain up me and sitting is the worst!!!
I have pain that shoots up me and my back just aches so bad that when I’m in a moving vehicle I seriously need to hold myself back from jumping out because of the pain. I’m sorry for anyone who has to deal with Cancer but it’s especially hard to deal with and a small child besides. You are amazingly strong and resilient for all you’ve been having to deal with. Your husband sounds amazing so that’s a blessing!!
I will pray for you and your family and hope some positives come out of this. I will think of you and your strength as I go through my own cancer journey. Thank you for sharing and being so strong. 😘😘😘
That's terrible.
I hope and pray you get all the help you need.
Sorry to hear that.

Brand new here on this page, from Scotland - and I am APPALLED to hear people have been commenting negatively...how cruel & needless. I immediately see a hugely brave lady, a. Beutiful mother dealing with this bloody awful illness, by the sound of it not for the first time. All strength & love dear lady....instant respect & admiration for sharing your story....it helps. Love from Scotland x
As long as people are honestly expressing how they feel, I'm fine with it; but if someone is trying to sell their *Sky Daddy* (God) nonsense on the back of someone's misfortune, I'm going to be one of those people commenting negatively.
Same here, first time on here and also from Scotland. Be assured of my prayers for you and your family. I cannot imagine your pain. I have back issues for the last year and at times I was not able to walk but even so my pain is nothing like yours. My heart goes out to you. I pray you are completely healed and able to enjoy life with your family. You are a very beautiful and brave lady. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
Ditto from me in England.
Hey Samantha, a Stage 3 BC mum of a 10yr old here, 5 yrs from when I was first diagnosed. I had a bone scan with contrast to check for Mets due to spinal pain a few days ago. Im in Australia though & I feel so privileged by our health care system as what you’ve gone through before being diagnosed is mind blowing and I can’t imagine happening here. I’m so sorry for your progression. I’m thinking of you, Gray & your Bub, sending love, support, virtual hugs & healing vibes to hope that whatever treatment your Oncology team starts with, gets you stable. Keep us updated when you can. Much love. Shelle xx
ha! love calling the baby Bub since we dont know her name. what a great nickname! you ok with that Samantha?😍
State of the Art healthcare in the United States!!!!!!!!??
Hi Samantha,
I’m a nurse and diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months after my wedding. Hearing your story- I am so upset with the delay of medical intervention and you have to go through a lot of pain because of late intervention. It’s very frustrating…. I am a nurse but I have to push my way and assert myself to the health care system to get a clear picture …..
just hearing your story…. The delay??? ….. you are very strong! I admire you for that…. I wish you healing and recovery…. Tc❤
I’m a retired NP. You are not a wimp. Spinal cancer is very painful. I’m sorry this was not diagnosed right away. It should not have taken a fracture to diagnose it. You should have had an MRI right away. I hope they treat your pain adequately so you can tolerate activity. Nobody should suffer with this level of pain without appropriate pain control and treatment to minimize it. Bone pain is harder to treat and requires adjunct medications like gabapentin, seizure meds, anti-inflammatory meds/steroids, blocks, etc. I’m glad you are moving back to Virginia. Don’t delay. You need multidisciplinary coordination of care. I’m so sorry you are going through all this.
Dear Samantha,
We are so lucky to be living now when there are so many treatments available to help people with stage 4. You have a great team who will get things under control soon. Being back in Virginia will be sooo helpful since you and Gray will have all of that extra support and help. Just try to take one step at a time and not think too far ahead. You have a great team who will guide you through this.
You are a beautiful, strong person with a wonderful husband and daughter (and fur baby) and so much love is being sent your way from your closest family and friends. Soak this allllll up and soak up the love and good wishes being sent to all of you from your many, many virtual friends who have grown so connected to you because you cared to share your cancer journey with us. Ya I know we have not met, but we are connected because you have helped so many of us with your candid, honest, funny videos and have made our cancer journeys a little less scary and lonely. Both you and Gray have also been such awesome role models by showing us how to handle adversity with such grace. You also have reminded us (me) all about the importance of living large every day and finding joy and fun and laughter through positive relationships, wonderful travels and through the experience of making your dream of having a baby come true.
Gray- we care about you and want you to take care of yourself. Those that care for us with cancer are the true unsung heroes and your own health can be so negatively impacted by being a care giver. Please feel all of the amazing good wishes and love being sent your way too.
You’ve got each other and so many others that care about you …and you’ve got this!🩷🩷🩷🩷
Samantha , look up “ Too cute for cancer “ Jodie has been living with stage 4 breast cancer for the last 20 years and is doing very well . Thankfully it’s 2023 and living with cancer is possible due to all the new treatment’s ❤
Beautifully said
Gray and your family really know what love is. Samantha continue to to love them with your whole heart.
We would be even luckier if cancer didn't exist in the first place. I'm starting to believe that ppl love suffering by continuing to bring children into the world for this (cancer and other destructive diseases). Religious ppl say we are living in the last days but they don't believe that bc they keep bringing ppl here in which many suffer in. Antinatalism and childfree ppl by choice problem solved.
As a Brit, I always find it really disturbing when US patients have to put financial considerations over their health. Then the sick person has to shop around and travel around to get care. I feel much happier paying through general taxation so that I can have healthcare that is free at the point of delivery if and when I need it when money is the last thing on people's minds. We love our NHS here in the UK and I wish the US had something similar.
Sending hugs & ❤ from Scotland.
You Scottish people have guts and fight for what is right. Unfortunately most people voted Tory and seem to care more about football than our brilliant NHS here in England. It’s actually quite shocking just how corrupt the greedy over privileged government here inEngland have become. Particularly cruel in talking of making very sick or bedbound people work from home. 😮 You couldn’t stoop much lower. You have a lovely big heart thinking of the victims of the USA who have such financial worries when running scared of a dangerous disease such as cancer. I live in Brighton, Sussex and I love Scotland but my asthma gets far worse in colder climates. Look after yourself. X
@@cozmarine7771 Thanks. Things are a bit better here in Scotland although I blush to confess that I recently chose to have my hip replaced privately as it would have been a 4yr wait on the NHS. That broke my heart as I have devoted my career to the NHS but I could hardly walk. Not everyone can afford £13k for an op and you see more and more people using walking sticks these days. So sad.
Girl, you are so strong mentally, you will get through this. This post isn’t about me but re: surgery on your L2, I’m a firefighter and injured my back falling through the roof of a house fire and had to get a anterior n posterior lumbar fusion from T12 down to S1. Yes super painful recovery, but pre-op the pain was excruciating…I’m so sorry you had to be in so much pain until it was all figured out.
I wish I could just give you a huge hug 🫂
People these days are savage, evil and wishing cancer or pain on anyone is some diabolical shit. You know your worth n that’s what matters. Karma will catch up to them, don’t let that negativity rent space in your head. You don’t need that.
I hope you have a speedy recovery from surgery and will be praying that God heals your body from head to toe from the inside out.
Sending hugs and lots of prayers ❤❤❤❤
I had a 360 spinal fusion 9 years ago and the pain is unlike any other, I had such PTSD afterward nightmares of epic proportions. I remember using my walker and dragging my foot behind me. You are a WARRIOR and don't let anyone tell you different including yourself ❤
I know the feeling well…. I’ve done it twice. Recovery from them is brutal!!!
She looks fantastic for so soon after surgery & she absolutely is a Warrior!!!
You are stage 4 for almost 9 years?
Wow, your story sounds so familiar. I have breast cancer with mets to my spine and pelvis. Your description of the pain was spot on. I was diagnosed over two years ago and am doing well. I know you will be too.
I’d like further info. My mom was also diagnosed a week ago and we are going crazy. Life expectancy is 2 years.
why don't you make vids.and share youre experience?
MEAN COMMENTS ? IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE CAN BE SO HORRIBLE!
Listen, some people have metastasis and live long lives, don't let anyone tell you that death is near! Not even doctors! You got this, God can help you get through.
This is my first time watching your channel, but I just want to say I admire so much that you value your child’s privacy!! Thank you for respecting your baby. I’m sorry you are dealing with all of this ❤️
Sorry my thumb kept hitting the 👎 by mistake! Unfortunately it happened a couple times. I hope you have a better day & I didn’t upset anyone.
My heart dropped when i read the title. Sending you love.
Wow, just wow. I had no idea that you had a pain level of 9 out of 10 at the beach! Let me tell you, you have an EXTREMELY high tolerance for pain! You handled that 9 out of 10 pain level with such grace and grit! I am in awe of your strength and sacrifice! No one could tell you were in that much pain! You amaze me❤️
I am so sorry for being one of the people who assumed you tore a muscle in your back and were in a severe muscle spasm! That's what it appeared to be the way you were walking and standing up/sitting down. I never would've imagined it was so much more severe than that. (in 2011 I could only walk with a walker due to pain from a torn back muscle). All that to say, we meant well with our advice and encouragement, but you handled it so well, we just had no idea the level of pain you were in. You are so mentally strong!❤
I am so happy to hear you are back in Virginia with the medical experts that know you and your amazing family support.
You are obviously the toughest, most courageous woman I know, and God has great plans for you and Gray and your baby❤️
You have many prayer warriors in CA praying for all of you! I love that you are so aware of the fact that your husband, parents, and siblings are suffering watching someone they love (you) go through this. You have such a generous spirit ❤️
Praying consistently for you! You are SO LOVED and will continue to help people through your experience❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! I definitely wasn’t in 9/10 the whole time but there were times when it was that bad. I appreciated all the advice then too because I wasn’t even sure what was going on. I was just kinda going off of what people were telling me. I know I wasn’t explaining it well enough because even Gray had to keep asking questions to understand what I was talking about
@@SamanthaL it's hard to think clearly when you're in such pain!
Definitely true. It’s still a mystery to me what was going on at the beach because the vertebrae wasn’t even fractured then yet. I’m not sure muscle spasms is the right way to describe it because since my surgery, I’ve been feeling more of what I think muscle spasms actually feel like. I was able to walk at the beach but some of the pain then was worse than the day I went to the ER, and I couldn’t walk that day. I think there’s just so many variables with back injuries that I never realized and they’re all painful in different ways
Oh babe. I can’t imagine the pain you are going through. Facing a cancer diagnosis with kids is the worst thing I can imagine. I hope you get all the emotional and medical support you need.
I am so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve watched long enough to know there’s nothing you can’t handle. I’ve seen weird commenters pop up on all the best channels. I think it’s so brave of you to put your story online. I wonder if a friend or someone could prescreen your comments for you - once you’re ready and strong enough to look at any of the comments. I know you know this but for every weird comment there are like 300 of us that are like uggh really? They are vastly outnumbered bc a ton of kind people just watch and don’t comment. 😳😆 Sending you all so much love. 🥰
💕
Just looking at that MRI was painful. Wow. It makes sense why hanging relieved your pain since it served as traction to decompress the vertebrae. Going thru all this is hard. But doing it half a world away from VA and with a newborn is next level. Tip my cap to you & your family for working together to see you through this. As for people blaming you for cancer - we’ve been having babies since the dawn of time and eating sugar since at least 8000 BCE. You have to live your life and having children is for many the greatest joy and eating sugar is everyone’s joy.
I’m a nurse and my husband’s a doctor and I’m appalled by the lack of care you received from the hospital at various points during this whole process. I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. I hope you recover and get well! Stay strong and stay positive. You’re in my thoughts.
I am a surviver of kidney cancer .
How could anyone write bad comments to you. Some people are vile and heartless . Maybe one day they will have to go through what we go through . Love and best wishes to you from the UK
During my chemo treatment my oncologist told me that there is only so much you can do to prevent a recurrence. Some people will do everything right and it will come back. Some people will do everything wrong and it won't. There is a low ceiling on how much you can influence this. She also said that you mustn't forget to live. Whether it comes back or not is pretty much out of our control so live life as fully as you can. You have done this beautifully and any decisions you have made have been correct for you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are strong and a hell of a fighter. You got this.
The automatic dismissal of you by ER staff is what they do with patients they think are med seeking. I am so effing tired of seeing doctors automatically dismiss patients experiencing pain and act as if there is nothing causing it.
You poor thing being gaslit by your own care staff. It saddens me greatly to know you are dealing with so much. Hoping you can stay comfy for a while and that the doctors finally treat you.
Whisper hugs from Ohio.❤
You are strong & seriously AMAZING! ❤
Ive never commented before. I just want to say how much I admire your courage, not just for how articulate you are in relating your story so far, but how you help us to understand your pain level ( lying on your stomach to eat your dinner), your frustration with Gray in that awful, human moment. I cant imagine. I feel such heart for you both and, of course, for your family. To be in such pain and concerned about your baby and no MRI!! Aaaaaargh!!! You are incredible and I am so, so sorry that you are going through this. I dont know what I could possibly say that could help. I wish I could. But I hold so much hope and love for you and your beautiful family.
Oh, Samantha, my heart and prayers go out to all of you. I am so sorry. Thank you for the update. I'm sure it was very difficult for you to do. There are so many of us who truly care about you and only want you to be happy and healthy. We are all here to support you. I'm so glad that surgery went well and is helping you feel better. Sending you gentle hugs. Continue to be as strong as we all know you are! ❤
Thank you so much!
It's not your fault. F what the internet says. You're a great mom. Wishing you all the best xo
Love this
Prayers for you sweetheart. Thank you for sharing with all of us who care about your journey. I have always loved how you have carried on being a cancer survivor. That’s EXACTLY what I have done. Whether cancer comes back or not you live your life. You got this kid doing what it takes to be with your family through all the pain I saw the photo of you holding your baby with ice around you not expecting to hear your cancer is back. Crap!
Samantha, Having followed you since your primary diagnosis which occurred simultaneously to my own BC dx, I was sad to learn of the new Mets to your bones, and so sorry for all of the pain you’ve endured. You’re a fighter and we’re all praying and pulling for you. Much Love.
So sorry to hear this. I have followed your story and was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago and your bravery and humor have helped me alot.
Hoping everything is going well with your treatment!
Thank you had surgery a week ago waiting on treatment. I wish you the best in your new fight. ❤
New subscriber, I am a breast cancer survivor and a physician, some of the doctors who saw you could have done a better job. Prayers for you
You’re awesome!!! You’re strong and you’ll get through this challenging time and live a long happy life 🙏
Sending hugs and healing vibes your way. Best of luck on your fight.
Samantha, no one should judge you on how you feel or your cancer, I know it’s not easy but try and ignore them as it says more about them than you.
❤wow
I'm so very sorry the cancer is back. Your videos were such a great help to me when I started my own journey with breast cancer. Recurrence is a daily fear of mine, and most cancer survivors, but you have inspired me so much to live life to the fullest every day no matter what the future may or may not hold. No one knows what is ahead, and it's so important to live your dreams in the present. You are in my thoughts and I'm hoping for the absolute best for you. You have a great medical team, and I'm certain they will come up with a plan of treatment that will allow you to have many more comfortable years with your precious child, husband and extended family. Take care and keep us posted if you feel like it. ❤
Wow you are one strong lady. I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure all this emotional and physical pain. What a nightmare this whole ordeal has been for you. I just came across your channel because I sustained a spinal injury and was searching that topic. Wishing you all the best for your surgery and hope the worst is behind you. Stay strong.
Thank you so much for sharing so vulnerabley ❤ You are precious and I'm so happy to hear you're recovering well from the surgery. You've got this ❤
Hey, I never watched a video from you before today. Idk why but I just got this overwhelming feeling to tell you that you can do this. I’m sorry the cancer is back but I’m also sorry for the cancer cause you’re going to kick it’s ass and survive for that baby. You got this & everyone has you in their thoughts. It’s just a tiny bump in the road for your life long journey.
Anyone who wants bad things to happen to to you, they arent happy in their own lives. I feel bad that you are having to see those at all. Sending love and high vibrations your way ❤❤❤❤
Much love and prayer for you Samantha. I pray the cancer treatment goes well.
You’ve got this girl! You are stronger than you know! ❤
You are SO BRAVE! I was diagnosed with Triple Negative last year and I don't think that I could have done a video without breaking down, so soon after being diagnosed. But, you are right, you will be fine. You are strong and have the love of family and good medical care and I will keep you and all of us fighting cancer, in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your strength. God bless you.
You got the covid vaccines?
I’m so sorry you’ve been going through all this and had your world turned upside down. Nobody should judge, you’ve made the best choices for you and continue to do so every step of the way. I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better and I know with the help of Gray and your team you will continue to heal. Wishing the best for you & your family 🙏🏼
Prayers for you Samantha and your husband and baby. This just showed up on my feed. I hope I receive another video soon saying you're working on and conquering this disease. You're an amazingly brave young woman. God bless you.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. Your strength and love for your family will pull you through.
I am so sorry to hear this but I am so amazed at how strong you are. Nobody should have to go through something like this. I just know and have a feeling you are going to come out the other side of this better than ever. You got this!!
I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with all this. You’re a very strong woman. Huge (but gentle) hug for you and your family.
I’ve only just come across your channel. I’m so sorry to hear your cancer is back, devastating news. Stay strong sweetie we are all hoping for the best outcome for you and your family. Sending love and warm wishes from England 🇬🇧 xxx
I’m saying a prayer for you sweet girl. I’m 4 months out from chemo for clear cell ovarian cancer. The ride feels like a roller coaster. May you feel peace on this journey and experience healing in every way.❤🙏
Thank you for your video… anyone who has gone through breast cancer, like you and I have, carries that fear of it coming back pretty much daily. It is incredibly helpful to others to see you handling it with such calm and grace and courage. It is a reminder to me that when we deal with things and stay calm, nothing is as bad in reality as it sounds in the abstract and imagination… you were giving so many people a gift by keeping us all down to earth! There are so many unknowns in life and nobody knows how long we all have here on this planet. It’s so nice to see you living your full life and spending time with your family and becoming an amazing mom. Nothing should stop you from seizing every day and every opportunity. I’ve been watching your videos since I started going through cancer and I will keep watching them because I just like you! and if anyone says anything mean to you in the comments, it says a lot about them and absolutely nothing about you. It would be great if someone could read the comments for you first maybe… But it seems like you have a great way of handling it on your own either way. Sending you tons of good vibes and I hope things turn out the way you want them to. ❤️ Jodi
I just cannot believe these horrible news , I have been following you for so long and I loved that you were healthy , got married and had your baby.
I am so so sorry , I actually never believed you were going to relapse ever 😩 I can't understand how a person with history of cancer goes go the ER with that amount of pain and they discharged you without an MRI ? What the hell !
Know that even if I cannot do anything more than just pray I'll do that.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Sending prayers for you and your family.
Praying for you and your family.
I support you Sam I’m sorry you’ve had bad news . Fight like you’ve never fought before. I wish you well.
You’ve got this and I am so sorry you’ve gotta go through these hard times. You are amazing. All the best to the three of you! ❤
Hi Samantha,
I’m so sorry to hear your cancer is back. I know it’s not easy to avoid certain people but you have to. Focus on getting better and use those negative comments as a reminder that you’re much better and will kick this cancer’s ass. Don’t ever let no one blur your mind, emotions and self esteem. This is only a bump on the road. I was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and certainly understand what you’re enduring. Sending positive vibes your way. ❤
I’m really sorry about this setback Samantha. Hoping for the best possible outcome and a speedy recovery!
I am so sorry that you are going through this and so sorry that there are so many nasty people in the world. Always remember there are many good people who are wishing nothing but the best for you. Never doubt what inspiration you are for others. I am 63 and have just recently gone through surgery and radiation for stage 1 breast cancer and I dealt with it with a lot less courage than you are dealing with your diagnosis. You do really inspire me to meet it head on and to enjoy and appreciate life while we have it.
Your empathy shows a lot here. I hope your health returns to you soon.
I will pray for you🙏❤ Stay strong and hopeful
Samantha I will add you to my prayer list today. Patrick from San Diego,CA. I lost my cousin to breast cancer 27 years ago. God Bless You!!! Keep fighting and praying!!! You are an inspiration to others!!!
I'm sorry to hear the cancer returned. I hope things get better for you in whatever way possible. You're a gem and seem like a genuinely good person. I'd say it sucks when cancer happens to good people, which is true, but it pretty much sucks when it happens to anyone. I hope you're able to get some pain relief and find a lot of happy moments in each day. Your baby and husband are incredibly lucky to have you in their lives, and we're lucky you are willing to share moments of your life with us. ❤
My heart hearts for and is simultaneously wowed by you Samantha. I appreciate your straight forwardness and stand with you, believing you will be healed. I've always admired how honest you have been in the videos when you share fun and hard things, and this video is no different. Gray and and your sweet little baby are blessed to have you and you them. I will be praying that as you prepare for and undergo treatment, you are able to find an even deeper love, sense of purpose and all that good kinda stuff that makes life sweet. I will also be praying for your parents and all who love you.
Speedy recovery. You are brave. You got this. Thank you so much for all the videos you make. Keep going. ❤
Samantha, you are a rock star through and through. I hope and pray everyone can see the goodness that flows from you, and good for for doing things your way. No one, even those who say they know everthing, is to say your decsions didn't prolonged this relaspe. All my prayers are with your family.
I’m sorry to hear this news, Samantha! I’m glad you’re feeling better after surgery. May your move to Virginia go well. Wishing Grey, baby and you the best. ❤️ Lindsay
Hi Samantha, thanks for the update. Praying for strength as you tackle upcoming travel and further doctor visits. Glad you are finally getting relief from the excruciating pain. You are a bright light in this broken world-keep shining🌟. You have support from so many people who care and truly want the best for you. God bless you and your family.❤️
you got this girl! praying for you!!
