I wish my husband was this open about his cancer journey. He is stage 4 voicebox cancer that has now metastasized to his lungs. Going through brutal chemo, and his lung has collapsed 2x. He won't open up and talk. He just told me he was afraid to die last week. We've been married for 38 years. This has been a hard journey for him and myself. I keep things positive for him when I'm breaking piece by piece watching him struggle. Please keep him in prayer. Thank you for sharing your story of life.
Please ask your husband if he would be open to having someone from a church come speak with him, even if he doesn't believe in God or doesn't belong to a church. He needs to be able to open up to someone and share his fears, regrets in life, and possibly questions about the afterlife. Your husband's care team or social worker should be able to help put you in touch with a Chaplain or give you resources on someone he could speak with privately.
@@southernsass-f3dI second this. Even if you don’t necessarily believe in it, I feel like it would greatly be beneficial. The thought of me dying is no longer a fear of mine. Something that’s going to happen to all of us.
@@chazlon5061it’s a crapshoot. I know many thin people diagnosed with colon cancer. Why kick someone when they’re down and essentially blame them for developing cancer?
I lost my husband to this dreadful disease when he was 38. As someone who has lived it, it warms my heart that you guys had the time and made some really wonderful memories. Hugs to you both…as one lives with it and one will live after it.
@@MMMC-z8y he’s made peace with the fact he’s transitioning soon. It’s not uncommon for people with a terminal condition to be at peace with their approaching death
with the state of the world and being so young/barely having a legacy its now easier to find peace in leaving it. Its the pain of the illness that makes everything scary
Blood in his stool and no colonoscopy, then letting this poor man go six months, allowing the tumor to grow to the point when they finally do a colonoscopy they can’t even get through the intestinal track because the tumor was so big. God please watch over this wonder couple . Truly godly people. Sending prayers
It’s awful! I’ve heard so many stories like this. It makes me appreciate when I’ve had problems (like GERD) & my Dr immediately orders testing/imaging.
Every doctor is different and there should be one protocol for anything that has to do with blood in stool, bloating, excessive gas, etc. He could have been staged differently had the Dr not waited to screen him. I get screened regularly because my brother was stage four at 54 and passed at 56 and my sister is stage four and diagnosed at 54. She’s now 66. I had my first screening at 48.
Yeah, but at least you don’t have to live the life like I do on a daily basis. I mean, I struggle a lot with My mental health I have autism and a very rare chromosome disorder as well, which causes me to have like psychotic behaviours as well as OCD behaviours To me it’s like I am living a cancer world on its own you know it’s not good you know when I’m not happy A lot of the times But you know I try to be happy. I try to be positive and I just try to do the best I can do you know I try to live my life to the fullest and that’s all you can ever hope for
38 mother of 3 here diagnosed with incurable terminal cancer myself while pregnant with my third… cancer is a joy stealer. I do my best to stay positive and make memories with my children. God bless everyone. ❤
Praying for you dear. My husband has Stage 3 Multiple Myeloma, there is no stage 4 with this cancer. This is his second cancer diagnosis in less than 5 years. He's been fighting for 15 months, he had a stem cell transplant in January to keep him with us longer. He will be on oral chemo and infusions of chemo for the rest of his life. Now, he was diagnosed on his 70th Birthday. I pray for you sweet boy and your lovely wife. I pray you don't have a lot of pain. God bless you always. Love, hugs and light coming your way.
My best friends’ daughter was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer 6mos after having her 2nd daughter. She fought hard to beat it but 1 & 1/2 years later she lost her battle 🥹😔 Her husband is now a widower w/2 young daughters 🥹😔
Fly high buddy when its time. Love that this interview is a little lighter coz it's really hard to endure in real life. You wife is beautiful and supportive. ❤🙏
My now ex had an appointment for a colonoscopy several years ago due to GI symptoms and he was only 34 or 35. He had huge precancerous polyps and the doctor said that had he waited until 50 to get his first routine colonoscopy he would have definitely had stage 4 colon cancer by then. Colon cancer is rare in the 20’s and 30’s but it can happen. I’m so sorry to this beautiful couple
My partner and I discussed funeral arrangements when a close friend passed and his wife arranged for his memorial service, minister (yes you have to pay him too) and the reception hall, the catering service, we both agreed that we would rather the survivor in our partnership have the money than to give it to a funeral home. We were together 44 years, and he passed from dementia, and I made arrangements to have him cremated with no service. It is always better to discuss such matters, we were both in our 70s, can't imagine having to do so in your 20s.
My dad died of colon cancer at 58 when I was 23. I started getting colonoscopies at 23. I fought hard to get those approved and now the VA does them as frequently as patients need. My sister had breast cancer when I was 32. I was pregnant at 33 and breastfeeding until I was 38, so I couldn’t get mammograms until then. Now I get them twice a year through the VA and biopsies once a year. So far cancer free. I truly believe and agree with early screening. I’m 46 now
As an end of life Doula, I’m so happy you all have openly discussed and planned Tanners end. Why? Because you all can now enjoy your time left and live life to the very fullest as much as possible. Thank you for sharing your fears, tears, joy,pain and appreciation for life and each other!
I have a friend who does this. Thank you for existing and doing what you do. What you do is beautiful. It takes a strong human to do it too. Thank you again.
This wonderful couple gives new meaning to the concept of making the best out of a difficult situation. I wish them every joy and happiness, help in every way they need it and peace wherever and whenever they find it.
My father died from colon cancer. His Dr at the time told him that a fecal occult blood test was sufficient. It was not! By the time he was diagnosed, he was stage 4. No One likes a colonoscopy, but trust me, dying of colon cancer is far worse!!!!! My dad had no known risk factors and was in excellent condition. I miss him a lot!!!!!

@nicolaxoxo1 so sorry for your loss. I'm 45 and I've already had two colonoscopies due to stomach issues. I thank God everything came it normal. Get a colonoscopy, it could save your life!!!
I just lost my husband on July 11 to cancer. It’s a god awful disease the loss of someone that you love the love of your life. This is traumatic as it gets. I’m a psychotherapist with 30 years of private practice retired. But nothing prepared me For the loss of the love of my life. There’s not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. Thankfully, the good Lord has given me the knowledge that it was a goodbye. It was just see you later. If I didn’t have my faith I would be lost.
Thank God you have faith and a believer of Jesus Christ. I know it must now be lonely but whenever you don't know what to do or feel lonely or scared, just pray and continue to keep your faith. God Bless, Renee`
@@Xane_Dragon I’m really sorry that you think faith is nothing more than a child’s imagination. It must be very lonely if you’ve lost someone to not believe. Xane I’m not a Bible thumper.

He is really a chill dude during the interview and handling his rare stage 4 cancer diagnosis well. I really hope he recovers from it. Once again, cancer sucks big time.
Tanner STRONG 💪! Cancer sucks. I had breast cancer. Thank God i didn't have to have chemo. I do, however, have to take a chemo pill twice a day it makes me sick most of the time. I know my Cancer journey is nothing compared to some. I have made peace with the fact that someday the Cancer can take my life. I'm ok with that. My sweet grandma will come get me and usher me inside the pearly gates. May God be with everyone affected by this horrible disease. Sending love and big bear hugs from north Ga. ❤
Amazing Man living his life to the fullness with a wonderful loving Lady I've never seen a man with such courage and still smiling with the cards he was Dealt ❤ I'll be praying for a miracle for you 🙏🙏
This story broke my heart, I lost my Mom to colon cancer a few months ago. It’s so unfair, cancer sucks! My prayers and love go out to this beautiful couple and their families. Colon cancer is not an “old people” disease any longer. I’m proud to see them spreading the word to prevent more undiagnosed cases in our youth.
Doctors need to take patient symptoms more seriously! His doctors waited 6 mos of critical time to finally take him seriously! Being treated sooner may have made all the difference! I hope they sue the doctor for malpractice!
I really wish I had known about something called “living funeral” eight years ago before my partner passed away from liver cancer. We could have celebrated life and all the sweet memories we shared. Love you always, Apiy ❤️
A co worker of mine is going through this, but as a young mum of 2. She was so gaslit by the medical community. She is still living, and still fighting. It's so unfair
Agreed. No matter how many times you go to chemotherapy or surgeries to remove it, it always comes back in a year or so. It always does in any part of your body.
I feel so bad for this young man and his wife. My mother had colon cancer when she was 51 and she survived it but she passed from Leukemia when she was 85. I have tested positive for blood in that area three times but I won't go through a colonoscopy because of the pain, I am 78 years old and I hope my time is up sooner than later. I hope he can enjoy his life with the time he has left.😢🙏💔❤
Everyone should be transparent with their love ones about their illness. She is right about planning his funeral together so she doesn’t have to stress about it later. Losing someone you care about is stressful enough without having to deal with funeral arrangements. My dad passed away from lung cancer. He didn’t tell us until it was too late. I guess he was in denial. So when he passed We didn’t know what to do. It was a very stressful time but we made it through. It would have been nice if he helped us planned it like this couple.
I have lost 3 family to cancer and I have to say: Is all the treatment (radiation and chemo mostly) worth it? I'm talking about late stages/big cancer like colon or pancreatic. My last family member it was 11 months from diagnosis to death. In those 11 months, the first 2 were ok then it was 9 months of doctor/clinic/hospital visits and being sick constantly....he died anyway, was it worth it? At 67, I think I would just ask the doctor for pain meds and let me go. Nothing lasts forever.
My mum fought for 17 yrs of colon cancer. Every other yr after remission it had moved. Treatment and surgery. When we knew it was over when she lost her last kidney. But she did survive a few months after that one... She went back to the village in Germany we lived in when my dad was in the military... She passed soon after. 17 yrs and six days after my dad's battle with cancer
Colon cancer took a friend of mine 5 days ago. I’m still torn up about it. She fought a good fight. I had just talked to her and then a week later she was gone 😔
Even if you’re not actively dying from cancer or another disease, eventually you have to accept your own mortality. There’s no point in being afraid of something you have no control over. Best of luck to him in his final days.
This may seem insensitive to some but I’m reading a memoir about a theologian who was slowly dying from pancreatic cancer and some realizations were that it not life OR death, its life AND death, amongst other profound realizations that helped me accept my own mortality though I am currently healthy. I get what you’re saying.
His woman is amazing. Truly a wonderful person. My wife divorced me for “feelings” to run off with another man and with my 4 year old girl. Yet, Shay stood by his side through every second. She is one in a billion.
Mark Hamill is known to be a super good guy; you picked a great celeb hero. What a beautiful celebration of life; what an incredible gesture. Blessings.
came home crying on balcony, listening to good good father by Chris tomlin, and gratitude by brandon lake, wailing my soul out, because I want to be closer to jesus and I don't know how to be, and because I miss and long for Bryan from the very core of my being
I admire this couple for their strength together, their being open and taking head on the diagnosis of terminal cancer and how the young man wants to prep for death feeling that he would be ready when his time comes.
So very sad. He's so young and should have a long life ahead of him. So many young people die from this disease. This young man seems like such a nice guy. It will be a true loss for the world and, of course, his loved ones.
Thank you! Both of you for sharing your story, is very important always talk about our wishes for our own funeral plans one day, is very therapeutic for us, to be prepared, even when it's not easy to talk about it. God bless all of you 🙏🏼❤️
Such a sad story. Everyone needs to pay attention to their body and advocate for their health. It's a shame that you just can't have a colonoscopy at any age without having to fight doctors and insurance companies to get it. I was lucky that my colon cancer was found at stage 3. Wishing the best for this lovely couple.
Picc lines suck I see him with one and brings me back to when I had mine. I battled sepsis this year I couldn’t imagine battling sepsis and terminal cancer at the same time. My grandfather has stage 4 prostate cancer for over 15 years and still kicking it he did every other treatment besides chemo. I hope he pushes through or at least spend time rest of his life spending time with his family.

Tanner “Jiffy” Martin is a good friend of mine. He is one of the most amazing people you will ever know.

Sending prayers, I just lost my mom. Due to lung cancer terminal she died in 5 weeks, Cancer sucks, I wish they would find a cure for cancer
While i dont have cancer nor do i know anyone with cancer...
All i can say is that any type of cancer sucks...
Agreed. No matter how many times you go to chemotherapy or surgeries to remove it, it always comes back in a year or so. It always does in any part of your body.
@@sonicgalaxy27wow. So am I wasting my time? I'm battling stage 3 breast cancer right now 😢
@@sonicgalaxy27
Agree. The best thing to do is leave it alone
@@Breezy-o1wstay strong and eat healthy only please 🙏🏾
@@SUGAR_XYLER Yes true. We just have to leave it alone. It always finds it way back. I really hate saying this.
I feel so bad for this young man and his wife. My mother had colon cancer when she was 51 and she survived it but she passed from Leukemia when she was 85. I have tested positive for blood in that area three times but I won't go through a colonoscopy because of the pain, I am 78 years old and I hope my time is up sooner than later. I hope he can enjoy his life with the time he has left.😢🙏💔❤
What pain? Your out of it the whole time
Everyone should be transparent with their love ones about their illness. She is right about planning his funeral together so she doesn’t have to stress about it later. Losing someone you care about is stressful enough without having to deal with funeral arrangements. My dad passed away from lung cancer. He didn’t tell us until it was too late. I guess he was in denial. So when he passed We didn’t know what to do. It was a very stressful time but we made it through. It would have been nice if he helped us planned it like this couple.
I have lost 3 family to cancer and I have to say: Is all the treatment (radiation and chemo mostly) worth it? I'm talking about late stages/big cancer like colon or pancreatic.
My last family member it was 11 months from diagnosis to death. In those 11 months, the first 2 were ok then it was 9 months of doctor/clinic/hospital visits and being sick constantly....he died anyway, was it worth it? At 67, I think I would just ask the doctor for pain meds and let me go.
Nothing lasts forever.
My mum fought for 17 yrs of colon cancer. Every other yr after remission it had moved. Treatment and surgery. When we knew it was over when she lost her last kidney. But she did survive a few months after that one... She went back to the village in Germany we lived in when my dad was in the military... She passed soon after. 17 yrs and six days after my dad's battle with cancer
Thank you for sharing your difficult journey!
Colon cancer took a friend of mine 5 days ago. I’m still torn up about it. She fought a good fight. I had just talked to her and then a week later she was gone 😔
Thank you for so bravely sharing your journey with us. I pray you won’t suffer too horribly. God bless you both.
Putting an ad in the middle of this is diabolical
God bless you, Tanner, and thanks for sharing your story.
Hope you live long x😊
Agreed.
Even if you’re not actively dying from cancer or another disease, eventually you have to accept your own mortality. There’s no point in being afraid of something you have no control over. Best of luck to him in his final days.
That’s not the point 🙄 nothing is worst than losing loved ones especially watching them go thru pain
This may seem insensitive to some but I’m reading a memoir about a theologian who was slowly dying from pancreatic cancer and some realizations were that it not life OR death, its life AND death, amongst other profound realizations that helped me accept my own mortality though I am currently healthy. I get what you’re saying.
@@courtneymiszczak6413 It is life and death, death is part of life.
@@Bunny11344well said 👏
Well done Warrior! God bless you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
His woman is amazing. Truly a wonderful person. My wife divorced me for “feelings” to run off with another man and with my 4 year old girl. Yet, Shay stood by his side through every second. She is one in a billion.
Mark Hamill is known to be a super good guy; you picked a great celeb hero. What a beautiful celebration of life; what an incredible gesture. Blessings.
God bless you guys .I admire your courage;)
My little brother died at 25 from lymphoma. Cancer sucks.
God bless this couples
Poor baby, his wife is an angel!
As a death doula I love the idea of a living funeral. What a beautiful couple! I wish that they had more time together.
I had no idea that was a thing! Beautiful and what a privilege
came home crying on balcony, listening to good good father by Chris tomlin, and gratitude by brandon lake, wailing my soul out, because I want to be closer to jesus and I don't know how to be, and because I miss and long for Bryan from the very core of my being
Whose Bryan?
Thank you for sharing your story! 🤗❤️
Love your guy’s story ❤, thanks for sharing the story.
Saw that look in her eyes after you said you had stage 4 cancer and replayed it a few times..
God Bless! Tanner you’re a hero!
I admire this couple for their strength together, their being open and taking head on the diagnosis of terminal cancer and how the young man wants to prep for death feeling that he would be ready when his time comes.
This is beautifully sad...May the Lord be with you. ❤
So very sad. He's so young and should have a long life ahead of him. So many young people die from this disease. This young man seems like such a nice guy. It will be a true loss for the world and, of course, his loved ones.
Thank you! Both of you for sharing your story, is very important always talk about our wishes for our own funeral plans one day, is very therapeutic for us, to be prepared, even when it's not easy to talk about it. God bless all of you 🙏🏼❤️
Such a sad story. Everyone needs to pay attention to their body and advocate for their health. It's a shame that you just can't have a colonoscopy at any age without having to fight doctors and insurance companies to get it. I was lucky that my colon cancer was found at stage 3. Wishing the best for this lovely couple.
God bless and thank you for sharing your story.
Sending sooooo much love to you both and your families!
This, is Courage!
Picc lines suck I see him with one and brings me back to when I had mine. I battled sepsis this year I couldn’t imagine battling sepsis and terminal cancer at the same time. My grandfather has stage 4 prostate cancer for over 15 years and still kicking it he did every other treatment besides chemo. I hope he pushes through or at least spend time rest of his life spending time with his family.
Exactly. My mother's husband has had bone cancer for 17 years and hasn't had any treatment. He's still living!
I hope this man and womens journey ended peacefully, god bless them
Always remember their is no way to avoid the death of your body but your soul will love forever
I love how much they live and love each other. God Bless.
So courageous. God be with you. So sad
