Then, when she mentioned that people in the comments section asked her if Matt was a chef (I also thought he was a chef.) , all she says is that Matt isn't a chef, without telling the viewers what he is professionally. (He is an optician, like her--from his Facebook and Linked in profiles.) She does not realize that her first AND last names are available on a simple Google search. By association, so is his on her personal facebook page other than the 'tiffanythinks' page. Ok, I've said too much, but many people on this forum already know that Matt is an optician.Here's what you missed - Tiff never used to love Broccoli... but the way Matt cooks Broccoli made her really *really* enjoy it
help.

Yes and when she says 'I will make a separate video about that' (something actually relevant to the cancer and not some random nonsense) but she never does.

Once she was showing us her food and she said it was 'pasta with veggies' but all I saw was pasta and no veggies.
Sorry this is so long...
apologies to all the responses I am now behind given the time it's taken to write this...
Thanks to DivineMystic and others for the video synopses so I no longer have to suffer through them. She couldn't watch any more of it: was there anything further of note, did anyone else watch to the end? I appreciate these summaries very much, it has saved me slogging thru them to find anything related to cancer news. As DivineMystic put it so aptly: "I can't. I just can't" (I put my hand to my forehead in a Scarlett O'Hara gesture for added emphasis).
So, I don't think I can accept as reasonable any expressions of confusions, etc. She has had it explained, she has copies of the medical reports, she has a medical professional in her family. Heck, Google has helped my own understanding of Tiffany's situation enormously, I have read the studies on "watch and wait" for Stage 3 T4b adenocarcinoma. I've learned about MAC, I understand what a PET scan highlights and its limitations, what the biopsies show and don't show, etc. I have learned far more than Tiffany seems to understand and that's only from reading info given in her comments and quick Google searches to fill in missing details. What I don't have is the full picture only because it hasn't been shared. We're left to fill in or speculate. I just am not comfortable doing that knowing Tiffany actually HAS the answers but chooses not to disclose the entire picture to us.
This is the first first cancer YT'er I've ever watched (I was never a sub and I'm glad now). I do not have cancer and actually don't know why her video ever showed up as 'suggested'. Like so many others, I started with genuine concern and support but am now utterly confused. I also went back to watch many earlier ones. Now I'm vexed. I have been skipping thru her vids now looking for any cancer talk but frustrated by so much inane vacuous musings. I can't bear it. I have to skip thru comments now too...how can she have time/interest to read them all? Why isn't she using that time more productively to improve her cancer experience?
In her defense though, she did ask her viewers if they wanted to see other parts of her life whereby so many said they wanted to watch anything and everything she put out. Unfortunately, the promos "we wear the WGT merch everytime we go to the hospital, link is below if you want to buy", and repetitions: "going to hospital for blood test, treatment, tic tic tic", "how much would you pay", making & eating food, buying plants, opening presents, stupid emotional background music when filming extraneous events, etc etc, it's all become maddeningly frustrating and annoying. What was cute has now become irritating.
I no longer want to watch her physical journey, just tell us the pertinent, salient info in a sitdown, be straight to the point, tell us how you, Matt and Amma are feeling about it, and then I'll be glad to come back and support you. Show interesting related events, but stop thinking you need to make movies about it all! You are not the director of nor Jim Carrey in The Truman Show! That show was less than 2 hours long!
I have neither time nor interest in following her regular life in such minute, repetitive detail, why doesn't she split her videos between "regular life" and "cancer"? At least we could choose which part to engage in, it would be good for everyone since it's clear she has a desire to post every mundane detail of her life as she's been doing so long before cancer entered the picture and long before she had an audence of more than a few thousand who cared to follow her. If she would only give us a choice. I agree, the misleading titles are too much.
I too am now experiencing disdain at her trying to capitalize so much thru this trying time and from those following her to be there for her in her journey. From not donating the proceeds of her merch sales to a cancer charity (btw I know nonprofits that sell merch via bonfire, the revenue thru them is between Β£4-Β£11 depending on tshirt, sweatshirt, etc), to her amazon merch links, to food delivery promo, etc. I was really put off when she celebrated and received gifts when reaching 50k followers, I found it unseemly, as I also did hearing her talk about her 100k follower new objective and YT plaque. Her cancer journey is not entertainment, she should not be celebrating her increase in viewership as a sign of success and strategizing to achieve a certain greater # of viewers. We've become numbers to her now. Even having regular days to post her videos seems off (just post if there's anything going on with you related to cancer!), or calling extra videos titled with "cancer" a "bonus" video is completely missing the mark and who her audience is! That is outrageous and ugly to call anything a "bonus cancer video" We were mostly there to support her emotionally, offer her strength and prayers, and possibly learn from her experience. I don't want to be a number. I don't need "bonus cancer videos". That is abhorrent and absolutely distasteful.
She lost me when she began believing she was exchanging entertainment value for commercial benefit. She completely lost what this community was actually all about and turned it into a commercial venture. Even noticing the time she posts, the days, her shorts, attempt at tiktoks, what she is now doing as is recommended by other YTers for best exposure and monetary value, this is all very unseemly to me.
She lost the spirit she had initially created. Like others, I now cringe seeing Matt's pained expressions as Tiffany tries to film a hug with him, or Amma's when she's driving her to A&E, so worried about her daughter, or seeing her shots in a hospital bed knowing they were staged before captured and the camera was strategically placed there for maximum dramatic effect. I'm getting an "icky" feeling now.
I also cringe now seeing video of Tiff walking down a hospital corridor or other set up shots, knowing they aren't natural, but are cinematically added for YT content. I am nauseated thinking she is actually making a motion picture out of this rather than filming raw and real life experiences and emotions. That's what I was attracted to. That's what's been lost. To not even know her health status really leads me to believe that she's become too caught up in the "storyline" and perceived commercial success she's created that she can no longer face let alone disclose what's really going on. Unfortunately, I think Tiffany lost her true self and lost the true spirit and meaning of what she'd created. Instead of inspiring us to want to continue on, she lost at least me when she became too enthralled in her success and lost the big picture of documenting her raw, unedited cancer journey. We became numbers to her in her YT story.
I can't watch anymore for my own mental health so ~THANK YOU~ to those providing summaries here! I remain partially invested in her cancer journey, so this way, I can at least keep up with any pertinent health status updates! You are saving my sanity! I truly hope Tiffany can give great thought to what she's doing and what documenting and sharing her cancer journey is really about. It is a tragedy to knock down such a community of support and treat them as numbers to achieve financial gain, especially when she may need this community the most. To see the outpouring of support when she deigned to ask for opinions on her nontreatment choice only goes to show the depth of knowledge, experience and compassion she had built. It was quite overwhelming and inspiring. I hate that she may lose it all for such shallow ends. I hope she expands her outlook and talks to those around her who may be able to have a better grasp on what's going on. And let's hope it's only her audience who is left baffled and discombobulated by her health status, and that she has a much MUCH clearer picture of what is really going on with her health.

I am pretty sure she recorded her doctor meetings, she plays just seconds of it before editing out the rest on her YT vids, so I do think she has a record she could review herself or with her doctor cousin or rely on when laying out the situation for us, but chooses not to. Same with phone calls, with oncologist, nurse, etc., she has her phone and camera with her all the time. I have a sense she does have recordings of these discussions too, she tells us right away if an incoming call or one she just had was from one of these people and I think she's transcribed pertinent points, it seems part of her nature to be very organized. I bet her bullet journal is full of definitive info from the surgeon that she's jotted down for herself.

She comes across like a proper mean girl delivering block and delete threats in that sweet innocent baby voice while grinning from ear to ear.
Some more comments...
Some more comments...
Having watched the video I am going on a gut feeling here. I think she's very scared and perhaps heard something she didn't want to hear. And perhaps saying it all on today's video would have then made Thursdays video a repeat, seeing as how she has already filmed much of Thursday's before today. So I get that she didn't want to say it yet, much as it is also frustrating for her many loyal viewers. I don't think she is in denial either she said 'I know things are going to get difficult again' which is a very telling comment. To me she seems rather lost and uncertain today.
And I just want to say thank you to those of you who have bought it, and helped support it, and just wearing it on a daily basis, sorry I meant to say thank you to those who have supported me in spite of my being worn down on a daily basis. Honestly, thank you so much. Today is a Tuesday, and it's the day I levelled up to active member status. I don't know why I didn't upload a video yesterday, actually I do know, sorry I meant to say I don't know why I didn't level up yesterday, actually I do know. It feels like you've given me purpose, so thank you. I do not have instagram, facebook and tiktok, so there is nothing please to subscribe to, even if you want to. Did you like the bonus video?! Let her know, geez.
Ok, thank you for sifting out my message amidst the turmoil still reeling in my head.

She has had issues which required an IV of Fe before from her much earlier YT videos, so the ongoing blood loss is definitely something that would have needed extra support, especially given how thin she is as well.
Maybe she addressed it. Who knows? Is she even getting covid vaccines or the special treatment available for those immunocompromised that helps achieve a sufficient antibody response? She has enough potential exposures, I really hope she is protecting herself. So much not disclosed...
OMG I am so happy I found this thread, as I am so frustrated with this girl! And I was scared to point out any concerns, as she is blocking people. Also I started to ask myself why am I even watching this nonsense about brocoli and Christmas planning in October. Seriously this is so frustrating to watch a 30 year old women acting like a 10 year old girl, in complete denial, refusing to get a proper help. First I thought her doctors are neglecting her but now I think she is just refusing to ask proper questions, or she just doesn't want to hear the response she is getting. It is so shocking to watch this videos about nothing, when she could have used this time to go banging at her doctor's door, to finally have a proper discussion about her LIFE. My mom died of cancer and I just can't watch these videos, it makes me want to grab her through the screen and shake her properly.
She was probably told she cannot skip the surgery and she's hoping the surgeon (who I imagine is hiding in a basement somewhere) to tell her to wait another six weeks so he can flee the country.
TY for completing the summary!Here's what you missed - Tiff never used to love
Broccoli... but the way Matt cooks Broccoli made her really *really* enjoy it
Welcome to the Twilight Zone (cue chilling background music)...

All giddiness aside, yes, she looked totally exhausted at the end of every video these past weeks. That begs the question too, what would a reasonable person have done? Why could she not have done what a reasonable person would do, taking into account all the circumstances of her situation?
I think her thought process is this: The Oncologist said.... but maybe the Surgeon will say, 'ya, it's bad, but we can fix it". I'm guessing she's thinking that the Surgeon can fix what's wrong.
She mentioned that she was really tired, and one of her Subs said there could be many reasons why she could be tired; and it's this mentality that is not helping. Tiffany has a tumor, she's tired because the Tumor is robbing her of blood and nutrients. It's not good to lie to her. She should rest, not make 5 videos a week. The body heals when we rest.
Matt is a Computer Tech I believe. I'm pretty sure she mentioned his job last year. He work for an IT company. They make good money, and damn good thing, because she LOVES to shop!!

I thought he was an optometrist. He studied optometry. Maybe he took another job after the diagnosis?
My thoughts exactly. She has time to post a new vlog but hasn't yet called her surgeon back???? This "I'm so confused" mantra is getting very old, very fast. She's an adult but can't advocate for herself? I honestly think she doesn't want to hear the stark truth about her situation. And, of course, many subs today are attacking her doctors, which is so, so wrong. There is no reason at all for her to still be so confused about her diagnosis and prognosis at this point in time! She doesn't want to hear the truth or else the docs tell her and she blocks it out. She teased a discussion about what her onc told her, but said she was blocking it out and would discuss it on the Thursday vlog. How much you wanna bet her Thursday discussion will be full of vague comments, confusion and so on and so on. It's truly the way a child would react.
I have finally watched the latest vlog
She just kept repeating that she was so confused after the meeting with the oncologist. She did say she could not sleep but she also implied that she still thinks that she is cancer free so this makes me think that what the oncologist told her cannot be too bad and she is just exaggerating to make sure many people will watch on Thursday. Her whole performance felt false. Her mentioning she needs to ask the surgeon questions after ignoring people's comments about that same thing for so long ... Everything she says seems calculated and strategic. She goes back to the cancer at times to make sure people will stay interested. Also, how can she be this confused? What is this?

Oh okay, for some reason I thought he worked for an IT Company. I'll take your word for it =)
I took it that she was doubting that she's cancer free as she's still bleeding.I have finally watched the latest vlog
