I have my own website: www.romeedussenbroek.com ! Here you can find a forum to connect with each other. You can start a conversation about your cancer journey or a cancer journey you have been watching from the sideline. Or just talk about your bucketlist/travel plans/passed travel experiences. It's a community for all! See you there! (it's also a school project of mine for my senior year, so please check it out!)
just want you to know i'm in montreal and youtube delivered me your cancer video and then i started watching all your videos and i couldn't turn them off to go downstairs and brush my teeth, i've been carrying my laptop around listening to you for half an hour.
I’m an oncology nurse at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. Oncology patients are some of the strongest people I know. This doesn’t mean they don’t have “bad days,” but that they are fighters. You’re a fighter, Romee! Keep fighting. 💪
You are strong too. I mean you are working at a „sad“ place, I know it myself because I have cancer too and I can see how much work those nurses put in their work 💖 I wish you the best ❤️
MD Anderson is the cancer hospital I choose to take care of me throughout my cancer journey. I finished radiation treatments in December 2020 and will have my first 6 months check up June 2021 .
I don't think you even understand the magnitude of how much you are a role model to people. It's not just the people on TH-cam; you're influential to the people in your every day life. As strong as you are, though; don't forget to cry, don't forget to hug whoever you need to. You are an absolutely beautiful soul. Keep fighting! We all want to see you get better.
Stumbled on your page a few weeks ago. My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian cancer in March. It had spread aggressively and they gave us a very grim prognosis. Well after seven rounds of chemo, and an extensive surgery - this past Wednesday she heard the words, “No Evidence of Disease”. March-November a whole lot of things changed. Believing the same for you, beautiful one❤️
Not getting remission isn’t a character flaw. So telling her she can do this is ridiculous her drs have to figure this out ! I been in remissionfrom stage 4 for 3 years I didn’t do it my drs did. Stop the ignorance
Yes, but the doctors don’t bring you to the chemo sessions, they don’t ensure you attend every sessions and diligently follow protocol. Other than administering the a treatment, everything is on you. It’s a brutal process that many can’t handle, especially follow up treatments if the initial rounds don’t work. Doctors can only help as much as the patient shows up and adheres to the treatment. I can tell you as someone who’s actually training to become a physician, when it comes to cancer treatments, doctors have the easy job. It’s a whole lot easier to administer a medication and come up with a treatment plan than it is to actually be the one allowing themself to be poisoned (because that’s what chemo really is) for months on end. Don’t underestimate your role in improving your health.
Hi Romee! Cool story and awesome trip! I met a guy on a dating website. We texted each other. 4 hours after replying to his first "Hi", I was already in the restaurant having dinner with him. Three weeks later we moved in together. 8 years together since that time, never being apart, happily married and crazy about each other :)) Sometimes we need to be irrational and just follow our hearts
Me here feeling like dying everyday after loosing a job and seeing now such a strong lady like u makes me realize I should stand more firmly in facing life struggles... more power to you! stay stronger!
We all need reminders. We all have weak moments. Way to use those moments to become stronger. Pain is pain though. It's ok be feel bummed about the job. But it sounds like you are moving forward so that is awesome!
Holy shit! That is truly impressive. You should buy a decorative frame with two sides. One for your before, "holy shit" picture, and one for your after, "I made it" picture. That would be neat to show the grandkids one day.
Statistics say that it’s not strangers that are dangerous it’s people close to you. I did a crazy thing when I was younger. I met a man online and before I knew he came round to my apartment. I hadn’t told anyone what I was doing. We had a great time....And 13 years later I am still his wife. He is the most amazing man and has given me the most amazing daughter and I am a strong believer in fate. When you know you just simply know!
Dear Romee Thank you for showing Switzerland- I am from Geneva and have been living in the US for so long. I cried watching this video because I miss my family and because I am so moved by your generosity and outlook on life. Be strong 💪 ❤️
May you continue to stay strong. My son at 21 was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2018. He had 19 chemo treatments and a stem cell transplant. He is now in remission and doing fabulous. Don't lose faith and think positive. You will get through this.
Girl !!! You are so strong !!! I wouldn’t be able to stay as strong as you, I would be defeated by it probably . I know things are different behind screen and I do wish you the best mental and physical health for the future❤️
You may think that you are not strong, or that you would have been deafited, believe me when I tell you, that you have no idea how strong you are until you are face with a particular situation that you have to deal with or being push to your limit...a limit you never thought you had, you will be suprise at how strong you could be. Blessings
Your story touched my heart! I am from switzerland, near basel. My mom came from the netherlands (geleen). She was 18 years old when she came for work to switzerland, met my father and fell in love with him and this country. She died 17 years ago, breastcancer. I will pray for you🍀🙏 Love from switzerland❤
Been watching her video from day one she is amazing and confident young women she laughs which is a good thing she cries also she has many emotions and she should its a lot to go thru she is so amazing she is so cute she has of people that are behind her and hoping for the best she is loved
Hey 🙂I am a two years breast c survivor , I give you a positive message that you can definitely beat it and have a normal life again 🤗hugs , and stay strong girl!
I just finished chemo for endometrial cancer. I had a mediport instead of a picc line. The mediport is placed above the breast and the line goes directly into the main artery. When the chemo meds are administered, the needle is inserted into the port instead of directly into the skin. It’s definitely less invasive and less painful although it isn’t totally without discomfort. I am starting radiation the second week in January even though my scan was clear. It will lower my chance of recurrence from 25% to 7%. Romee, I hope you will overcome this horrible disease and live a long life with a wonderful man and a beautiful family. (And whichever guy you end up with will be a VERY lucky man.) You already have the thing that is most crucial to recovery - a positive attitude. 🙂
Wow...that video alone showed us so much of who you are. You really are an amazing woman. I hope you know that. Your attitude, your adventurous soul, your beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing that weekend with us too. You filmed it so respectfully of him. I can’t say enough about how you are impacting me and clearly many others. Thank you so much! 🙂
You are not alone...same shit here...feeling sorry for myself, sad, depressed, angry, lonely, not wanting to live...same shit.... thinking why, why, WHY feeling like this for no reason...wtf, when there're people who would give everything for just to be healthy again....
Your ‘issues’ aren’t any less significant. My friend has a boatload of health issues and gets so mad when I say I don’t have the right to complain about the things that I’m going through, just because she’s going through a lot. What you’re going through is important to you, regardless of what others are going through.
Oh Romee, I am a stranger on the internet but I would write a whole poem about you. Such a unique, lovely and strong personality. You're gorgeous, young and you have all life to live. You will get through this, you will meet that person and other great people again! That weekend in Switzerland may have been your best time until today, but I am sure more weekends like that are yet to come. Just fight and stay optimistic, we love you!
I have a son your age, I can imagine the reaction of your parents when they saw the video. I'm glad you had such a lovely time in Switzerland. HUGS. In my prayers
I really wish you all the best & pray for your speedy recovery. You are doing so well. Especially seen as you are continuing on your TH-cam journey and normal life too. Taking the time to answer questions and explain is very kind of you. You are truly a inspiration. I wish you all the best. Much love from the UK xx
I love the footage of your adventure in Switzerland with a stranger - the sharing of all those small but significant moments with someone new. It reminds me of that iconic old movie 'Before Sunrise' with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. If you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend it. As for the photo of the tumor - your bravery and attitude are truly inspiring. Stay strong - and I know you will.
Cancer ruined our lives for the last ten years. My parents have seven kids and four of us had cancer in ten years 😭😭😭 it’s not easy . Watching you breaks my heart but you got this dear my brother is like you he very strong and happy at the time cancer doesn’t stop him . You will be fine sweetie 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I’ve never left comments on any other video ever but I just had to say how amazing I think you are :) the strength you show is unreal :) I wish you all wonderful things & nothing but the best 👍🏻
God sends love when it’s needed. A friend’s daughter, age 13, was dying of cancer when three young men, she had never met, came to visit. They played guitar and sang to her weekly. She told her mon that one of the boys said that he loved her. What a blessing at the end if a young girl’s life.
I have to say that I cried watching this video. I'm really happy you had the courage to take that plain and have the time of your life. You deserve all the happiness of this world, please don't stop being strong and the sweatest person I have ever known.
yes! whenever you do something risky like meeting a stranger, trust your gut! if you have a bad feeling about something, don't do it! but if you have a hopeful feeling about something (or someone), live your best life girl! you're going to beat this Romee!
Thank you for sharing your positivity. I have stage 4 colon cancer, metastasized to the liver, lungs, and abdominal wall. I know the ups and downs of the journey. I have a port that works similar to your picc line, but it's just under my skin on my chest at my shoulder blade. They put the needle through the skin and into the port for my chemo. I take a pump home with me for 2 days after sitting in the chemo chair for 5 hours. Then I go back to have the pump removed. Cancer is a beast, but there are brighter days, and I try to really appreciate good days.
I hope you know how much your videos mean and how many of us are with you, beside you. I work in oncology and I learn things about my patients just from watching your videos. You’re amazing for being so inquisitive and honest about your experience and I thank you for that. Stay strong.
Ne plači, najlepši osećaj je kada pobediš strah!!! Samo živi...jako si pametna. Iskoristi um i umom leči bolest. Veliki zagrljaj ti šaljem iz Beograda🇷🇸❤️❤️❤️.
I am praying for you. I hope that's all right with you. I think you are amazing. I am a Registered Nurse retired with a removed brain tumor now I have a shunt. Happened 10 years ago. Stay the way you are. You are a Survivor and will make trips to many places you chose around the world.
Romee, I am so glad that you had this great weekend with this special person. Good memories and beautiful experiences are food for the soul. Maybe you could post more videos with "soul food", so you can watch them again on bad days... or you can write them in a book and stick photos to them. The tumour is really huge, I hope the chemo can shrink it. I guess he will be irradiated afterwards? I wish you the best!
Romee, that’s unreal that the doctors didn’t think you were seriously ill! WOW!!! You are going to have an amazing story when you beat this cancer! Don’t lose hope! You’re a fighter!! My thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏🏻💖💪🏻
I (German) met a lovely Canadian in Canada while I was there on a working holiday visa. It was supposed to be a 3-day trip to the mountains, which is where he happened to live and work. Well, almost 3 years later we are still together. We are going back and forth between Germany and Canada but we are doing it together. Taking a chance on it was the most uncharacteristic thing I have ever done. Worth it! :) You are awesome!
On Etsy you can buy piccline covers if you don’t already know. I’ve gotten some cool ones. If you have sensitive skin just make sure to tell the person making it and they will set you up with a nice fabric. Also pro tip if I’ve been going places or doing lots of activities in a day generally I use an alcohol prep on the port tubing and cover. Also changing out the piccline cover regularly and washing them may help lessen infection. I was very uptight about keeping my piccline clean. If you ever want to talk more about a piccline or any other medical devices let me know I’d be glad to help you out as best I can.
@romeedossenbroek I don't know you but I want you to know you are valued and appreciated. I appreciate you and celebrate you... You are SO STRONG to inform everyone of your journey and I am following wishing you only health and happiness. Keep being you. Much love from Gatineau Canada 🇨🇦
Randomly found this recommended to me...your such an inspiration to smile in pain😊I learn from you that accepting your life take you to happiness.I pray for your health.God bless you.You will do this..more power to you!!
I feel like you're my friend, man - I just turned 23 (on the 19th of November, the day you were in hospital), so we're around the same age. You're a gorgeous soul and I am sending so much love and so many good thoughts for your recovery. My friend was at university in Amsterdam last year and I visited her there, it's one of my favourite places ever.
I like your philosophy to go and find discomfort. It makes you stronger person, allows you to challenge yourself and aids self-development. Thoughts and prayers are with you on your journey. Xxx
You are beautiful inside and out. I am going thru my own cancer journey and I found your videos. You are truly an inspiration. Just wanted to say your friend is just as lucky as you to have you in his life. Stay strong!!
I'm so glad you got that little happy break during the summer. sounds like you guys are meant to be together. couldn't believe my ears when you said Switzerland, and even less when you said, Geneva (it's my hometown)! I love your videos, you're one of the strongest person I 'know'. sending love,
We prefer to put PICC’s in right arm because of the “path” to the heart- less twists and turns going on right arm!! But it can’t always be done in right....we also do them in legs of babies!!
I say the danger point of your naughtiness was much needed by the smile on your face. The memories alone will help you get through rough times. I'm glad that you survived it, lol, and that you actually came back. Blessings to you.
I love the story about your weekend 💕 Reminded me of my own life changing story. When I was 19 I left Sweden to travel the world by my self. 6 month in I met a Swedish guy in Indonesia. On this tiny little island with almost no tourists at all. Long story short.. Had the most amazing 24h. Before I was leaving for... New Zealand! Six month later we still kept in touch. Emailing each other every other day. When I got back to Sweden we though we just HAD the meet up. See what was really going on. And so we did.... Yesterday we celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. 14 years together. With two beautiful boys 10 and 8 years old. Keep fighting, you’re truly an inspiration💪🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing your weekend with us🥰 Watching you be open and free made me happy. Your smile is infectious and gives me joy. So, I thank you, dearly 😘🌷😎
I wanted to cry with you I was so happy for you! I can't wait to watch more of your videos and see where life takes you. I am praying for you and wish you nothing but the best on this crazy cancer journey. This guy sounds amazing...
Hey girl 💕 I’m 24 and a cancer survivor. I know how crappy chemo to be. Know that you’re not alone and that the bad days are normal, but not permanent. You’ve got this and I’m cheering you on from Canada xx
Go Romee. It is heartwarming to see that you take life by the horns. Your trip to Switzerland was a well calculated risk and you trusted your instincts. More people should follow your lead. I too did these things when younger and have had wonderful memories for life. You now have a different journey to face but I can see that your live in the moment attitude will be a big asset. Find the beauty in each day, smell those flowers, find the your story in this unexpected journey ❤
I have been down the path you are travelling along,your attitude is the right one,your strength will see you through the bad days as there will be some & the good days which you will have,you will learn who your real friends are & emerge even stronger 💖
I love your positive attitude! I do understand how you think your X-ray is cool. What’s going to be really cool is when it gets much smaller. Your new Friend was so blessed to have spent that time with you. I know for sure he will always hold you in his heart. You are such a beautiful Soul inside and out. ❤️
Hi Romee . I have watched a few cancer stories here on you tube so I get the notifications as you would expect. But your story captivated me. Even though I have seen loads. I have watched your journey and I find ,myself thinking of you even when I am not online. When I see you post online , I jump on it immediately. I love your story about your trip to see your friend. I am not ill but I will be having a real date tomorrow after a few lockdown zoom dates. It will be safe and I am in good hands. There has also been several weeks of honest and amazing chat. Your words were inspiring. Continue with your great courage and words of enthusiasm. You are an amazing young lady x
I just finished my first 4 rounds of chemo as well...rough...yep. I will be praying for you. Prayers and positive thinking do wonders. You are a fighter for sure. Bless you for sharing and uplifting us all 🌹
I don’t know how you came up in my feed but I’m so glad you did. I’m thinking if you and sending love and positivity your way. Stay positive. Lean on your loved ones. Rest when you need to rest and give yourself grace. You’ll beat this. Don’t. Give. Up.
What a beautiful weekend story, im glad you did it and everything went well with this Person. Im sending lots of hugs and best wishes my dear!!!, Keep going strong!! I will be praying for you always!!, I survived Ovarian cancer 2 years ago.
Hey girl! We're picc line sisters! If you have any questions about central lines/piccs, I'm basically an expert after having so many over the years. It's our lifeline! Remember, staying positive helps our immune systems, but it's also important to allow yourself to grieve as much as you need to. Scream, cry, pray, vent to friends...do whatever you need to do to help yourself cope. Just don't ever give up!!! Lots of love
I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and you are just such a lovely person!! You are SO strong girly, you got this! ❤️ Sending you so much love.
Romee, keep that positive spirit! You have to as it will guide you thru this battle! I know, I've been there.. Keep fighting and YES, live your life one sec, one min, one hour, one day at a time! But, fill it with everything beautiful and positive! Sending you loads of love and energy from Oklahoma USA
Dear sweet Romee, all the kind words you said to your host at the end of the video were describing YOU in our eyes. God does have a plan and things do happen for a reason. So happy you had such a beautiful experience and connection prior to your diagnosis. Love, prayers, and a virtual hug to you from Olympia, Washington state, USA. 👩🦳💞

I have Ovarian Cancer too, and this is my recurrence now :( it's a small one but still one , Glad your mom is NED
That picture is going to look even more badass after you beat this. I’m rooting for you.
People say that is weird that we laugh about our "tragedies". Well, laugh it is a great therapy. I loved watching you laugh.
I laugh at a lot of the bad things in my life because it’s how I cope it’s not that I think it’s actually funny
My birthday is on november 23, I'll ask as a gift for you to be okay and for you to beat cancer before my next birthday, I love you fighting
My birthday is also on Monday 🙂
So sweet so beautiful 💜💜💜💜💜
Aww this made me tear up
My birthday is nov 23rd as well.
my boyfriends birthday is on november 23rd as well
You got this. I am officially in remission after almost two years of treatment. You can do this!!!
I wish you the best.Your a beautiful young lady.I will pray for you.Think positive & alot of faith in God.

Hello do you need some help in any area ?
As humans, we tend to think our problem(s) r worse than anyone else's! We're wrong!!
I just balled my eyes out. Whoever you are in Switzerland, thank you for making her weekend special 💕. I don't know her but she's so angelic
I have discovered through traveling solo that the world is full of amazing people.
You have the mind of a doctor- that's why you find your x-ray interesting! You will come through all this wiser than the rest of us....
Holy shit! That is truly impressive. You should buy a decorative frame with two sides. One for your before, "holy shit" picture, and one for your after, "I made it" picture. That would be neat to show the grandkids one day.

Hair or no hair ur soul is beautiful. Im not just saying that. I lost my hair and I was devastated. Im lucky to be alive. Keep your head up.

Taking the time to answer questions and explain is very kind of you. You are truly a inspiration. I wish you all the best. Much love from the UK xx
I love the footage of your adventure in Switzerland with a stranger - the sharing of all those small but significant moments with someone new. It reminds me of that iconic old movie 'Before Sunrise' with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. If you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend it. As for the photo of the tumor - your bravery and attitude are truly inspiring. Stay strong - and I know you will.
It reminded me of that movie as well!! "let's meet in six months again!"
Before sunrise is my favourite movie ever! Watched it 12 times lol
@@melissamoskaluk3159 wow! Do you still get emotional at the end? hahaha
Cancer ruined our lives for the last ten years. My parents have seven kids and four of us had cancer in ten years 😭😭😭 it’s not easy . Watching you breaks my heart but you got this dear my brother is like you he very strong and happy at the time cancer doesn’t stop him . You will be fine sweetie 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Just curious, what country are you from?
I’ve never left comments on any other video ever but I just had to say how amazing I think you are :) the strength you show is unreal :) I wish you all wonderful things & nothing but the best 👍🏻
God sends love when it’s needed. A friend’s daughter, age 13, was dying of cancer when three young men, she had never met, came to visit. They played guitar and sang to her weekly. She told her mon that one of the boys said that he loved her. What a blessing at the end if a young girl’s life.
Some love, giving a young woman lung cancer. 🙄
THINK.
God doesn’t give disease and suffering. He gave ETERNAL LIFE through his son, Jesus. Bless you on your spiritual and physical journey.
Sweetest story. Thank you for sharing that.
I have to say that I cried watching this video. I'm really happy you had the courage to take that plain and have the time of your life. You deserve all the happiness of this world, please don't stop being strong and the sweatest person I have ever known.
Go have fun never apologize for it and your friend that hosted you is a well brought up man.
Wishing you health and all the happiness. ❤️
3rd stage cancer survived after doing yoga pranayam and changing food habits
yes! whenever you do something risky like meeting a stranger, trust your gut! if you have a bad feeling about something, don't do it! but if you have a hopeful feeling about something (or someone), live your best life girl! you're going to beat this Romee!
" I had a fantastic weekend with a beautiful soul!". This was the entry in his journal. xx
Thank you for sharing your positivity. I have stage 4 colon cancer, metastasized to the liver, lungs, and abdominal wall. I know the ups and downs of the journey. I have a port that works similar to your picc line, but it's just under my skin on my chest at my shoulder blade. They put the needle through the skin and into the port for my chemo. I take a pump home with me for 2 days after sitting in the chemo chair for 5 hours. Then I go back to have the pump removed. Cancer is a beast, but there are brighter days, and I try to really appreciate good days.
Your city is breathtakingly beautiful - like you - and your spirit and courage for sharing.
I hope you know how much your videos mean and how many of us are with you, beside you. I work in oncology and I learn things about my patients just from watching your videos. You’re amazing for being so inquisitive and honest about your experience and I thank you for that. Stay strong.
Your love of life is contagious
You have youth and strenght on your side. Show the world whos boss! 💘
Ne plači, najlepši osećaj je kada pobediš strah!!! Samo živi...jako si pametna. Iskoristi um i umom leči bolest. Veliki zagrljaj ti šaljem iz Beograda🇷🇸❤️❤️❤️.
My daughter-in-law and her sister both beat lymph Noma tumors in the lungs just like yours you got this
I am praying for you. I hope that's all right with you. I think you are amazing. I am a Registered Nurse retired with a removed brain tumor now I have a shunt. Happened 10 years ago. Stay the way you are. You are a Survivor and will make trips to many places you chose around the world.
Romee, I am so glad that you had this great weekend with this special person. Good memories and beautiful experiences are food for the soul.
Maybe you could post more videos with "soul food", so you can watch them again on bad days... or you can write them in a book and stick photos to them.
The tumour is really huge, I hope the chemo can shrink it. I guess he will be irradiated afterwards?
I wish you the best!
Romee, that’s unreal that the doctors didn’t think you were seriously ill! WOW!!! You are going to have an amazing story when you beat this cancer! Don’t lose hope! You’re a fighter!! My thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏🏻💖💪🏻
You have the best attitude in regards to your cancer. Never change that 👍
You are such an amazing young women and you inspire my soul. Sending you the biggest prayers and the biggest love!!
I (German) met a lovely Canadian in Canada while I was there on a working holiday visa. It was supposed to be a 3-day trip to the mountains, which is where he happened to live and work. Well, almost 3 years later we are still together. We are going back and forth between Germany and Canada but we are doing it together. Taking a chance on it was the most uncharacteristic thing I have ever done. Worth it! :) You are awesome!
Hello dear do you need help with any area ?
That is a huge tumor and it’s quite obvious. Thanks for sharing.
I’m praying 🙏 for your healthy recovery.
On Etsy you can buy piccline covers if you don’t already know. I’ve gotten some cool ones. If you have sensitive skin just make sure to tell the person making it and they will set you up with a nice fabric. Also pro tip if I’ve been going places or doing lots of activities in a day generally I use an alcohol prep on the port tubing and cover. Also changing out the piccline cover regularly and washing them may help lessen infection. I was very uptight about keeping my piccline clean. If you ever want to talk more about a piccline or any other medical devices let me know I’d be glad to help you out as best I can.
Good for u girl, going for that wkend. As long as u r safe why not ehy?
Stil sending u healing light strong lady!
✨⭐🌛💛🌜⭐✨
@romeedossenbroek I don't know you but I want you to know you are valued and appreciated. I appreciate you and celebrate you... You are SO STRONG to inform everyone of your journey and I am following wishing you only health and happiness.
Keep being you.
Much love from Gatineau Canada 🇨🇦
Randomly found this recommended to me...your such an inspiration to smile in pain😊I learn from you that accepting your life take you to happiness.I pray for your health.God bless you.You will do this..more power to you!!
I hate that bad things happen to amazing people. I hope for a quick recovery and lifelong remission!
I feel like you're my friend, man - I just turned 23 (on the 19th of November, the day you were in hospital), so we're around the same age. You're a gorgeous soul and I am sending so much love and so many good thoughts for your recovery. My friend was at university in Amsterdam last year and I visited her there, it's one of my favourite places ever.
I like your philosophy to go and find discomfort. It makes you stronger person, allows you to challenge yourself and aids self-development.
Thoughts and prayers are with you on your journey. Xxx
The end of this video made me cry.
You are beautiful inside and out. I am going thru my own cancer journey and I found your videos. You are truly an inspiration. Just wanted to say your friend is just as lucky as you to have you in his life. Stay strong!!
I'm so glad you got that little happy break during the summer. sounds like you guys are meant to be together. couldn't believe my ears when you said Switzerland, and even less when you said, Geneva (it's my hometown)! I love your videos, you're one of the strongest person I 'know'. sending love,
We prefer to put PICC’s in right arm because of the “path” to the heart- less twists and turns going on right arm!! But it can’t always be done in right....we also do them in legs of babies!!
I say the danger point of your naughtiness was much needed by the smile on your face. The memories alone will help you get through rough times. I'm glad that you survived it, lol, and that you actually came back. Blessings to you.
So true, so happy 😊🙏🏼 she came back safe.
I love the story about your weekend 💕 Reminded me of my own life changing story.
When I was 19 I left Sweden to travel the world by my self. 6 month in I met a Swedish guy in Indonesia. On this tiny little island with almost no tourists at all. Long story short.. Had the most amazing 24h. Before I was leaving for... New Zealand!
Six month later we still kept in touch. Emailing each other every other day. When I got back to Sweden we though we just HAD the meet up. See what was really going on. And so we did....
Yesterday we celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. 14 years together. With two beautiful boys 10 and 8 years old.
Keep fighting, you’re truly an inspiration💪🏻❤️
Praying for you all the way in South Africa. There is something so special about you 💛
Wow. Your positivity will get you through this girl! Wishing you a successful recovery and a life full of amazing memories that are yet to come!
You are such a sweetheart and a RAY OF SUNSHINE 🌞
LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA 😘❤🇦🇺🌞❤🌞😘🌠🇦🇺
Romee, you're such an amazing woman 🥰 thank you for sharing your story and inspiring us!🌷💐🌺 Love from France 💖
Thank you for sharing your weekend with us🥰 Watching you be open and free made me happy. Your smile is infectious and gives me joy. So, I thank you, dearly 😘🌷😎
I wanted to cry with you I was so happy for you! I can't wait to watch more of your videos and see where life takes you. I am praying for you and wish you nothing but the best on this crazy cancer journey. This guy sounds amazing...
Hey girl 💕 I’m 24 and a cancer survivor. I know how crappy chemo to be. Know that you’re not alone and that the bad days are normal, but not permanent. You’ve got this and I’m cheering you on from Canada xx
Hello there is a secret cure to it and I know who can help you with it . it worked for me
I am so glad your trip turned out enjoyably. A bit of serendipity in life is oh so good.
Good for you! there are good people in the world! god bless you!
God bless you baby girl...may flowers shower you on your journey!
Go Romee. It is heartwarming to see that you take life by the horns. Your trip to Switzerland was a well calculated risk and you trusted your instincts. More people should follow your lead. I too did these things when younger and have had wonderful memories for life. You now have a different journey to face but I can see that your live in the moment attitude will be a big asset. Find the beauty in each day, smell those flowers, find the your story in this unexpected journey ❤
I have been down the path you are travelling along,your attitude is the right one,your strength will see you through the bad days as there will be some & the good days which you will have,you will learn who your real friends are & emerge even stronger 💖
You are so positive and peaceful 🤗I’m praying for you🙏🏽
I love your positive attitude! I do understand how you think your X-ray is cool. What’s going to be really cool is when it gets much smaller. Your new Friend was so blessed to have spent that time with you. I know for sure he will always hold you in his heart. You are such a beautiful Soul inside and out. ❤️
You have a heart of gold. Keep moving forward, we are all rooting for you 💪❤
Hi Romee . I have watched a few cancer stories here on you tube so I get the notifications as you would expect. But your story captivated me. Even though I have seen loads. I have watched your journey and I find ,myself thinking of you even when I am not online. When I see you post online , I jump on it immediately. I love your story about your trip to see your friend.
I am not ill but I will be having a real date tomorrow after a few lockdown zoom dates. It will be safe and I am in good hands. There has also been several weeks of honest and amazing chat. Your words were inspiring. Continue with your great courage and words of enthusiasm. You are an amazing young lady x
I just finished my first 4 rounds of chemo as well...rough...yep. I will be praying for you. Prayers and positive thinking do wonders. You are a fighter for sure. Bless you for sharing and uplifting us all 🌹
Hello do you need help with the cure permanently ?
I don’t know how you came up in my feed but I’m so glad you did. I’m thinking if you and sending love and positivity your way. Stay positive. Lean on your loved ones. Rest when you need to rest and give yourself grace. You’ll beat this. Don’t. Give. Up.
What a beautiful weekend story, im glad you did it and everything went well with this Person. Im sending lots of hugs and best wishes my dear!!!, Keep going strong!! I will be praying for you always!!, I survived Ovarian cancer 2 years ago.
Hey girl! We're picc line sisters! If you have any questions about central lines/piccs, I'm basically an expert after having so many over the years. It's our lifeline! Remember, staying positive helps our immune systems, but it's also important to allow yourself to grieve as much as you need to. Scream, cry, pray, vent to friends...do whatever you need to do to help yourself cope. Just don't ever give up!!! Lots of love
Praying for the best possible outcome for you. You are a very strong person and I really want the best for you.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and you are just such a lovely person!! You are SO strong girly, you got this! ❤️ Sending you so much love.
Very very very inspiring!!!! To go through what you’re going through and still
Carry this JOY so very beautiful!
You have a wonderful sense of humor.
Thanking God you're doing ok my love,may God continue to bless u.🙏🏼
Romee, keep that positive spirit! You have to as it will guide you thru this battle! I know, I've been there.. Keep fighting and YES, live your life one sec, one min, one hour, one day at a time! But, fill it with everything beautiful and positive! Sending you loads of love and energy from Oklahoma USA
Dear sweet Romee, all the kind words you said to your host at the end of the video were describing YOU in our eyes. God does have a plan and things do happen for a reason. So happy you had such a beautiful experience and connection prior to your diagnosis. Love, prayers, and a virtual hug to you from Olympia, Washington state, USA. 👩🦳💞
