00:00Hi, my name is Dominique and I'm making this video because two weeks ago I got diagnosed with incurable colorectal cancer which had metastasized my liver.
00:09I wanted to start this TikTok because essentially what I wanted to do in my life was help people.
00:15It was going to be through psychology. I was, until two weeks ago, a third year psychology student and I wanted to do clinical psychology eventually.
00:26And that would take another five years to study for. And my doctors gave me one to five years to live. I'm 20, by the way.
00:36So that's 25 maximum. Or 26 because I'm about to be 21 next weekend.
00:44But anyway, so yeah, I was doing that at university and I was working part-time in HR as well which was really cool because that was another side of psychology that I was enjoying.
00:53Um, but basically I stopped work and uni because I have such severe cancer and the treatment is so intense.
01:04I've had one chemotherapy so far and I had some really bad days. Really bad days from it.
01:10I wanted to make a difference somehow and leave something behind and hopefully help people.
01:16And I know that cancer is getting a lot more common in the colon for like younger people so I really wanted to eventually share my symptoms and like raise awareness just so that other people hopefully will get to catch it sooner before me.
01:29Because it sucks. Like everything has kind of been taken away from me.
01:34Um, I won't get to be a mum which is something I was working towards in my career and then I was going to be a mum.
01:41And that was my whole plan. And it was a lot of people's plans.
01:44But yeah, um, I won't get to do what I wanted to do with my career which sucks as well.
01:49But yeah, I'm hoping with this I can make a difference.
01:52So if you're interested to like follow my journey which I've literally only just started, um, follow along and yeah, feel free to ask questions and I'll share what I'm comfortable sharing.
02:05But I, yeah, I just want to help people and raise awareness and yeah, welcome to my TikTok.
02:11So if you're interested in this video, I'll see you next time.
