Inspiring Young Woman Overcomes Multiple Life-Threatening Health Issues

An inspiring young woman has overcome multiple life-threatening health issues. Enduring one of the horrifying ordeals and scary situations she has had to face would be too much for most people. Check out the video about this resilient and persistent young woman who cannot wait to begin helping others despite everything she has gone through.

Life is rarely, if ever, a fair experience. We all have problems and unpleasant circumstances we’re presented with at one time or another. These situations are typically painful, can be devastating and often result in grief and sorrow. However, we all know individuals who, for whatever reason, seem to be given what appears to be more than their fair share of difficulties and struggles.

Caroline Laubach, a Pennsylvania college student, is someone who has faced several massive, frightening health problems. According to a video posted on YouTube, Caroline, who is disabled, was experiencing enormous pain, making it difficult to breathe. It turned out that the young woman, at just 18 years old, was experiencing liver, kidney and heart failure.

She badly needed a heart transplant, but then, days before she would go under the knife, something else started to go wrong. She suffered a spinal stroke reportedly caused by a machine pumping blood to her back that restricted her airflow.

At that point, Caroline said doctors told her family to start making final arrangements.

Thankfully, Caroline was able to receive a much-needed new heart. But her health struggles did not stop there.

She was later diagnosed with cancer.

“It was on my left tonsil. It was on lymph nodes next to my heart. It was in my upper GI, lower GI and my bladder wall,” Caroline said.

According to the YouTube clip, this incredibly strong and inspiring young woman who had already been through so much managed to defeat cancer not once but twice. Now, she is not letting anything stop her from fulfilling her dreams and goals. She is pursuing a degree in nutrition and an occupational doctorate.

“I can’t wait to just start helping other people,” she said.
