Thanks for sharing this. Watching vlogs like this made me feel less alone when I had mine done. I was struggling with symptoms when Naomi was diagnosed and it made me ask for a colonoscopy. Came back negative. Appreciate my health so much now. Never take it for granted

I just came across this video but I have stage IV colon cancer as well and I’m only 26. I don’t have it in my genetics, but my whole family is getting screened now too. Thank you for raising awareness for getting checked out, it’s so important and can save lives!

Thank you to you and your sister for bringing awareness, especially the fact that younger people can get it too. So many younger people's symptoms/complaints are being dismissed and they are being told they're too young for it and are being diagnosed too late. I'm stage 4, like your sister. I was diagnosed in 2018, after nearly dying. I've been fighting since then.

Thanks for this! My father passed from colon cancer when I was ten(he was 41)so my brother's and I have to get checked every year from when we are 30 on, I'm currently 28 so it's nice to see what I will be getting into. Thanks for raising awareness!

Thinking about you and Naomi all the time. I’m listening to your podcast from the beginning again because I just enjoy it so much even though my baby is about to turn 1 and I don’t currently need a baby name. I never had any siblings and always wished for one. The relationship you two have is very special and I just love listening to the two of you. I hope the trial she is doing works for her. Sending my love from Idaho!

Thank you so much for sharing this. You can help so many people get through this difficult but necessary experience by allowing us all to see you doing it bravely, with a smile and as always, looking pretty!

So thrilled to hear you're all clear SJ! That is such comforting news. Sad to hear the chemo's not doing what you had hoped it would for Naomi though. Keeping her and the rest of your family in my prayers. ❤️

Thank you SJ, I’m about to have a colonoscopy for suspected IBD and this has helped me understand the process so much better. I’m the type who feels less anxious the more I know! Naomi’s amazing legacy lives on ❤

I’m scared to get my colonoscopy. Thank you for sharing! I’m so happy to see Naomi (who looks great!) I’ve been missing your beautiful sister banter on the podcast. ❤️

I just did it here in the states with no history, but you made me do what I should have last year. I had to drink 8 cups of water mixed with the laxative and lemon flavor…it didn’t taste terrible it had a weird texture. By the 5th cup I had enough but kept going. Then I had to get up at 3AM and take 4 more cups. But I got a clearance of no test for 10 years!

SJ thank you for this, I have to have my first colonoscopy very soon due to some severe GI issues I am having that are undiagnosed at the moment. I am nervous as I am fairly young but I am thankful for this video taking some of the fear out of it! sending hugs to you and sweet naomi ❤️

Thanks for sharing, Im doing my bowel prep tomorrow so this came at the perfect time!! 🤍

So lovely to see your sister, what an amazing relationship you have. Amazing you’re raising awareness for getting checked. X

Such an important topic to bring light to SJ. I really apprecitated your vulnerability on your experience because so many people seemed to be embarrased about it and avoid it all together! My parents have both gone through this process and shown how important it is to check for cancer whether it runs in the family or not. So happy to hear you are well and I am wishing you and your sister nothing but happiness and healthiness now and forever. 💛

Thanks for doing your prep live very brave guys !♥️🙉💔💯✌and spreading awareness I have positive gene mutation too and have been screened for a long time since 18 never give up love you X

Sending you and Naomi so much love. 😘

Hope you’re doing ok SJ - haven’t watched yet but always nice to see you pop up on my feed. Have been binge watching all of your old videos to get inspiration for naming these identical twinnies!! Currently 14 weeks. Sending lots of love to you, your sister and all of your family xx

thank you for this ive been there had my checks as i have had polyps myself

Three years ago I had stage 3 colon cancer. Thankfully I am ok now. But in the process, I found out I had Lynch syndrome. Which is a predisposition for cancer. I have colonoscopy once a year. My prayers go out to you and your sister

Check Guy Tenenbaum he got incurable cancer and 3 months to live. He checked on youtube and did metabolic theraphy Keto and fasting. Cancer died. Just cause the dr say doesnt mean You can do something. Recommend Folllow beat cancer with me. Stage4 and he is doing this. He has just a little bit of cancer left.

On the NHS at any age bowl screen for gene positive people is every 2 years X

I've been having colonoscopy and endoscopy every year for the past 3 years since I was 30 as I have Lynch Syndrome, I found out from a genetic test at a hospital that my dad has specialist at, as my dad had colon cancer and most of his siblings sadly passed from cancer.

❤🧡💛

Even if you were disposed to it genetically, epigenetics thankfully proves that our environment is what determines whether or not these genes are ever expressed, so it’s not something that’s entirely up to fate and we do have control over our health, which can be quite jarring for many because it often means that then we have to really look at why we became sick - but the flip side is that we can also become our own healers. In fact, this is the most powerful factor of healing 🤍 It can be a beautiful journey of empowerment and evolution!
