🎥💡 TikTok to the Rescue! 💡🎥
Meet Cleo, a 21-year-old whose life took an unexpected turn thanks to a TikTok video. Last summer, while scrolling through TikTok, Cleo stumbled upon a clip that would prove life-changing. The video described symptoms like bloating, a puffy face, and weight gain—all of which Cleo was experiencing but had dismissed as side effects of drinking coffee on an empty stomach.
Feeling a connection, Cleo dove into the comments and saw someone mention Cushing’s syndrome. Intrigued and a bit worried, she researched the condition and decided to consult her doctor with her newfound insights. What followed was a whirlwind of tests, and the shocking news that Cleo had a 17cm cancerous tumour in her abdomen. Diagnosed with stage four adrenal cortical cancer, she began a battle that included surgery and chemotherapy.
Cleo credits TikTok for prompting her to seek medical advice, a decision she believes saved her life. As she continues her treatment, Cleo is turning her story into a powerful message: always follow up on unusual symptoms, and sometimes a little social media scroll can be more than just a distraction.
Cleo is looking towards the future with plans to study fashion buying and merchandising at university. She reminds everyone to listen to their bodies and never underestimate where lifesaving information might pop up—even if it’s on TikTok. 🌟
