Taryn Hillin was preparing for a lifelong dream move to the south of France when a routine doctor’s visit revealed a tumor on her cervix. Initially reassured it was likely benign, Taryn’s persistence led to a biopsy that confirmed high-grade small cell neuroendocrine cancer at stage 3C.
In this cancer vlog, Taryn shares her emotional experience, from navigating the complex medical system to undergoing a radical hysterectomy and intensive chemotherapy. She reflects on the unexpected challenges, the importance of self-advocacy, and the resilience she’s built while approaching her five-year milestone.
Thank you, Taryn, for sharing your story to help others.
