I KNEW Something Was WRONG - Tiffany | Ovarian Cancer | The Patient Story

Tiffany was diagnosed with Stage 3A ovarian cancer after experiencing heavy bleeding following an IUD insertion.

Her journey began with what she thought were routine issues related to the IUD. However, persistent symptoms led to an ultrasound, revealing a large cyst. Further tests confirmed ovarian cancer. Tiffany underwent a challenging surgery to remove the tumor and prepare for chemotherapy.

Despite the hardships, including managing the side effects of treatment, Tiffany found strength in her hobbies and the support of her family and friends. She emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy and staying informed about one’s health.

In this cancer vlog, Tiffany shares her story to inspire others facing similar battles and to highlight the significance of early detection and self-advocacy.

I KNEW Something Was WRONG - Tiffany | Ovarian Cancer | The Patient Story

Hi Tiffany. Your story is somewhat similar to mine. I was diagnosed with stage 1A ovarian cancer. Like you, I began bleeding super heavily. My IUD actually fell out which prompted my gynecologist to do an ultrasound before they would place another one. That thing literally saved my life!
After a complete hysterectomy, I did six rounds of chemo.
I am now 11 years out. Thank you for sharing your story and praying for continued health for you!

You are confident, knowledgeable, and incredibly beautiful, not to mention how physically fit you are. Keep your positive attitude. I have ovarian cancer and have gone through chemotherapy as well as radiation treatment. People who have never gone through chemo don't realize how the disease and the treatment leave you debilitated. The caustic drugs attack cancer cells but also damage healthy cells. I wish you healthy, peaceful days ahead. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you for sharing your story. OC is hereditary in my family. My grandmother died from it and one of my aunts had it but caught it early. It’s such a hard thing to go through at such a young age. It’s great that you’re in such good shape. That will definitely help. Praying for your recovery!

I was wrongly diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis in my country last year when I was 43 years old (I have a history of uterine Fibroids since I was 32 years old). Went to a advanced country and got diagnosed with low serous ovarian cancer stage four. It's been a year now since my proper diagnosis. The doctor said I couldn't have surgery cos I was very low in weight. Since then thanks to God, prayers, staying stress free, stopping dairy, soy and gluten and after three lines of chemotherapy, my cancer markers have cut in half, I gained weight, my hair grew back, I look healthy, my accites dramatically reduced from 8 litres every three weeks to be drained at the hospital now to only 250ml every two weeks (fluid buildup in my abdoman) and my period just started.

Tiffany, you’re beautiful in every way. I can only imagine how scary it was to receive such a diagnosis so young. Yes, you’re still drop dead gorgeous without hair. Most importantly, you’re a warrior & I’m so glad that you & hubby have fertility options. Keep fighting, love, you’re a special person who’s got so much to offer the world. Love & hugs. 💕

Why do doctors brush off bleeding as normal. If a patient reports abnormal bleeding then what harm would be if they ordered testing instead of guessing off the top of their head?

Stay strong 💪💯 Sending love and hugs from NYC🍎

Sending good energy for healing your way. I had a similar surgery and surgical menopause. It was a little intense at first with hot flashes and poor sleep, but now my sleep is doing well and the hot flashes are better.
