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.

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!

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!

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.

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?

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.

Hi Gorgeous! I had a breast cancer situation when I was 39 and being BRCA gene positive, I had my ovaries out as well. I was able to do bio identical hormone replacement therapy. Check and see if that’s possible for you. Even in the short term, to get you over the hump. I never had any menopausal symptoms and weirdly was able to skip the whole menopause thing, in a way. I am athlete and trainer and I can promise your fitness is going to be so helpful for you! I found it helpful to take the health on as I would an athletic challenge, mindset wise. It worked for me. That was all over twenty years ago. Wishing you all the success.!! And don’t worry, being without hair only enhances your beautiful face. Much love!!💖💖💖

Beautiful, young, talented lady. I hope your future stays bright and if you experience those side effects (as I have) your doctor will work with you (was given an estrogen tab for direct insert, use Astroglide, you'll be fine. I always say, I'm alive to be aggravated with it. You're so fit, this will help.

So she had nothing before the IUD then couple of weeks it was there ? Doesnt seem normal to me did they miss it

@nuhrisha Ай бұрын

@Bambotb She obviously did not get a vaginal ultrasound, which would have showed the tumor. She went for an IUD, so the gynecologist just used a speculum to inspect the vagina and cervix. That’s why females should insist to get a transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) during their well women checkup, to have the endometrium and ovaries checked. A PAP test is a screening test for cervical cancer only. Gynecologists do not automatically perform the TVUS, unless you have certain complaints or specifically request this to be done.

You are a rude person! If you have the same illness then you should understand people respond to serious illnesses differently. I would think if you truly also had OC you would be a little more compassionate and understanding.

Hang in there! You’ve got this. Being in great shape is a major plus. I got stage 3C OC 17 years ago, at age 47. I had chemo and radiation. (Weird type, requiring radiation.) Stay on top of follow ups. Ask about a Signatera test, in addition to the CA-125. 🩵
