when she wants to be. tabitha is 17 and lives in northampton with her two tiny dachshunds. but two years ago, her life was turned upside down. i was coming home from school, really tired, falling asleep for hours on end until dinner, and then i'd fall back asleep. my mum knew there was something wrong with me, but ijust thought i was doing a bit too much in year 11. in fact, that was the start of tabitha's cancer journey, after doctors found a tumour — a really big tumour. obviously, as a parent, it's one of the worst things you want to hear. people sometimes compare that it's an orange or it's a lemon, _ or it's a lime or it's a walnut. you know, those are the sort i of scales that they were using. this was outside of those scales. this was enormous. on world cancer day, tabitha shared her story. hi, guys.

which most of us didn't even know existed. everyone was terrified. woman: they broke the glass. every body stay down, get down. (distant people shouting) you could hear people shouting, yelling, "hang mike pence." you could hear people screaming, "where's nancy?" and then capitol police officers came running in with their guns drawn. (distant people shouting) i was very frightened to be away from my tabitha and i kept calling my chief of staff, julie, begging them to keep the door locked and barricaded. they ended up hiding under a desk as people pounded on the door. (doors banging) (people chattering) and as we were evacuated out, you could see complete mayhem. ♪ (people chattering)
