With thanks to
@SarahN for her thread title suggestion combined with
@ladyt7087's idea. Kudos to you both!
Well the proverbial has hit the fan on the TT channel. Not only is she having voice issues, and breathing issues, but her latest CT scan has shown that the mass in the neck area has grown. So while the nodule in the rib/lung area has remained stable, the neck mass has grown quite substantially since the previous CT which wasn't all that long ago. That means the end of her trial, a PET scan being scheduled, a mould fitting done ready for daily radiotherapy. Interestingly she didn't appear as distraught with this news, as she has previously. We all remember the "I'm not going to make it" video. The good news is we are now spared any further Baxter removal videos, yayy!
Okay, the news was bad, and she felt she needed to seek solace in the hospital chapel. However, why would any normal person who had received upsetting news like she had, deliberately film themselves opening the chapel door, and then take time to set up the camera in the chapel, focusing it on a pew, and then sit down and look heavenward while the camera was rolling? Okay, she was upset, but how many of us, on receiving such horrible news, would deliberately grab the camera to video themselves praying in the chapel? Answer: Tiffany does. She loves taking her camera in church and making sure she has it in the right position to film herself praying.
Still, the clicks shot up faster than one of Space X's rockets. 150K views in next to no time, and almost 3,400 comments. It's clearly obvious that there's a multitude of what they term 'death watchers' who hang out for such aptly named videos on a cancer influencer's channel. Her normal views sit at around 75K to 90K. Her comments tend to range from a few hundred to maybe 1500 maximum. However as soon as there's a dramatic title the numbers go up substantially. That means more $$$.
Regarding her results, she made a point to mention that she'd told the doorMatt, her sister and a few friends about them, however did not tell her mother because she didn't want her mother to have a bad night's sleep that night. What about when she told her mum the following day though? Her mum would have still had a lousy night's sleep, why prolong it? The worst though, was the following video she made which clearly showed her mother looking quite distraught, obviously still trying to deal with the news that her youngest daughter's cancer had not responded to the trial. Why on earth would you deliberately aim the camera to show your poor mother's face while yabbering away? Give the poor woman some privacy, she's your mother, not there to be used as a prop for clicks and views. She received a lot of critical comments from her viewers because of how she flaunted her mother on that video, of course they were removed. Of course the usual blue hearts and prayer warriors flooded her comments and there were the usual pleas for her to try Ivermectin and to stop eating sugar. And of course one of her chief henchmen, well, henchwoman actually, has responded to most of the critical comments made. No sign of the Fluffyfox for a while with her 'block and delete'.
Meanwhile her voice is causing issues and her speech therapist has given her some exercises to do and advised steam inhalations etc. Whether or not they will be of benefit I don't know.
Her breathlessness is a concern, to the point where she felt she couldn't go with the doorMatt into the supermarket because she was so short of breath. Although she was able to push herself enough to do some clothes shopping for herself. Things to wear on all the picnics they are going to have during summer. She allowed the doorMatt to purchase a pair of socks for himself, complete with the infamous WGT blue stripe.
I wonder what she bought for her chief chauffeur and cook, her mother?
She's looking forward to wearing some of her new clothes on picnics. Picnics like the one she recently enjoyed with the doorMatt and friends where they dabbled in art. Apparently some of the paintings may be displayed at the Louvre.
She's really in need of some counseling, she's obviously struggling at times and could do with some. If she doesn't want to use the services offered by the Royal Marsden, then why not try BetterHelp? After all, she did endorse their services, saying how wonderful and convenient they were. Surely she wouldn't have allowed them to sponsor her video if she didn't actually use their service? How else would she know what great counselors they have?
At the very least she could always try a Life Coach. Hmmm, now who could we suggest??
I agree with many people who say that she really doesn't seem to comprehend what stage 4 cancer is, and certainly, not her own journey. With the watch and wait saga back in the days before her PE, she was of the hope that maybe her cancer would disappear. Remember her discussion with her mother when the doctor was unable to get a biopsy of her rectal cancer they were of the opinion that maybe it was because there was no longer any cancer there. And she refused mop up chemo after her PE surgery and again after her lung ablation surgery. Because she felt she'd had enough chemo prior to the PE op, and she didn't like the side effects, especially the neuropathy. She's still waiting for the cancer to be gone. Is there ever going to be a wedding? I've seen/read about many cancer patients who have married when they are stage 4. Emily Hayward was one, Jade Goody was another. Is she waiting to be declared 'cancer free'?
So now, next on the agenda is the PET scan. To check if there's further disease elsewhere that's not been detected by the CT scans. No doubt she'll string out the results for that.
She's been wearing just that grotty old back headband and while showing glimpses of her bald head, aside from a few strands of hair left, she makes mighty sure that she doesn't allow her viewers to see her without the headband. Or even worse, wearing her overpriced, tacky merch baseball cap.
Otherwise it's pretty much rinse and repeat.
