What kind of doctor refuses to make eye contact with a patient and refuses to explain the rare type of cancer they have- instead, opting to tell that patient to “Google it”? How cruel.
It's heartbreaking to see this. Fingers crossed you're one of the 15%!!! You deserve to live!

That doctor is a monster. This is not how you tell a human they have an "aggressive" cancer. If you feel ypu cannot present the information you get someone else who will. He's disgusting. Telling this young woman to "google it." Negligence. I will keep this vibrant glowing woman and her family in my meditations. 🙏🏽
Sending prayers to Natasha ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Skip out on the doctor who just excused her she's a sweet heart for not naming his butt
What kind of doctor said “Google it”

My breath caught when she said that. How unkind to say that to a patient her age who needs to understand the severity of her situation. A situation none of us would want to be in. Instead of patience, this idiot doctor was almost cavalier in saying 'Google it.'
Sending prayers to you Natasha 😢😢❤❤
😢my lord 🙏🏽🙏🏽bless her with healing
I do understand how she feels, I’m not diagnosed with Cancer, but I do have fatal illness. I understand her mental state ❤❤ prayers of strength, and peace 🕊️ that’s what I’m coming to terms with!!

Tulsa I'm sorry girl I hate hearing bad news I hope they find a cure for you 💕💕💕
What a beautiful young woman cancer so hard to have.
Google it? A male doctor refusing to explain a test result and telling a female patient to “Google it?” This is why women have shorter lives in the hands of male doctors. Unacceptable. Natasha, sending positive energy your way.
Beautiful girl, so strong and beautiful! Please keep her healthy Lord 💖🙏
Sending prayers to you, Natasha. I hope God always provides you with an abundance of happiness and surrounds you with good people 🤍🌷🤲🏻
I've been doing this since last year.. also waiting thanks for pointing it out
Wow! Praying for her healing and strength ❤😢
This is for you, Natasha. Good morning. The Lord is your shepherd. You shall not want. He will take it to Egypt, he will not suffer your foot to be move. He will take care of you, my dear. My prayers 🙏 are with you and your mom. I know how your mother feels because i know how i felt when my daughter was diagnosed. Hang in there, dear. Just have faith in God.
I ask God to put his healing hands over you. You are a beautiful earth angel! God bless you always!
God bless you. I pray for all of you🙏🏽
First of all prayers for this young woman and that she's able to fully complete her bucket list and overcome this rare cancer. I am convinced that just because a person is capable of completing the grueling education required to become a doctor or nurse doesn't deserve to be in that position if they don't have genuine compassion for people. How cruel and ignorant of that doctor to tell this young woman to "google" her cancer diagnosis.
Please stay strong 😢. Thank you for helping others navigate through these times. Research is improving. I really hope they can help!
God bless you Beloved Natasha 🙏🏽✝️🫂
Sending prayers and hugs ❤❤
MY BELOVED BROTHER ACUTE MYLEOGENOUS LEUKEMIA ( OVER 10 YRS AGO DIED ) BEFORE 30 LEFT BEHIND 4 YOUNG CHILDREN BEAUTIFUL WIFE PARENTS SISTER . FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY. SURELY LOVED AND MISSED ,LOVE YOUR SISTER
God bless her and others dealing with cancer, etc.Her doctor was rude. Told her to google the type of cancer she had when he could have told her. Her should be fired. It's sad and alarming how so many people especially young people are diagnosed, battling and dying from cancer and heart related issues.
Attitude is everything! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏼💪🏼😍
Prayers for complete healing!
May God Bless you all!!❤❤

Can we talk about the heartless doctor?? We need names and addresses because how do you tell a young girl that diagnosis with no regard for her feelings??
Blessings to you beautiful ❤️. You got this 😄. I'm so proud of you ❤. You are going to beat this 😊
The environment and the foods we eat is a huge reason why younger people are getting it.
What a terrible doctor to deliver such devastating news in such a careless way.
In March ,2024 my spouse was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive kidney cancer that typically affects people with Sickle Cell Anemia. Its called Medullary Renal Carcinoma. He's undergoing Chemo treatments. You will defeat and conquer cancer, so will my spouse!!!! Thanks for sharing your story & my prayers are with anyone battling Cancer or any other medical condition. God bless everyone 🙏✨

Why is this shocking? Our environment is toxic. Our water and air trashed. Our environment is killing us, there is no "could," it is happening. Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?
Its our environment we arent taking care of it. Or our bodies. I hate to say it but its true. Also if we had insurance in companies for businesss for health care wed be ok. But our environment is playing a huge role. Bless you girl .I'm constantly checking my body in my mid 40s breast cancer is always around the corner. But Seriously its our environment.

Something is changing...I wonder what that could possibly be. It would be interesting to know how many of these young people suddenly turning up with rare, aggressive cancers also participated in certain experimental interventions expecting it to prevent infection that turns out, it didn't.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I wanna go on a cruise with Natasha!! Go on a parasailing excursion. That would be fun!!!!
@1:36..."something is changing"-- the Western diet has taken global prominence. Fast-food restaurants, ice cream, donuts shops, and the like, have fast contributed to the growing health concerns of a vast amount of youth. That type of food is what they grew up on. Whereas, baby-boomers on back primarily ate fast-food as an occasional treat. Nowadays, even here in East Asia, young people are feasting on junk.

Cancer rates now compared to when our grandparents were coming up....what's the difference??? Technology and diet!!
The "google it" stopped me in my tracks... That doctor is not it.

Okay, do you want a medal? I dont understand why you're judging. People cope the way they can. I'm in the beginning stages and seeing people my age speak up makes me feel less lonely and more informed because they know how it feels. My old doctors cannot relate. My family cannot relate. If anything my emotions stress them out. I barely go out either.
