Hello, my name is Francine. I started my channel for hobbies and passions, but my life changed in January 2023, when the universe took me in another direction. I have a recurrence of low grade serous ovarian cancer. This time it's terminal. The goal is to make every day count.
My journey also created a space to connect to others in a meaningful way. Now I cover the updates of other people we follow in Cancer YouTubers Updates and Cancer YouTubers Spotlight.
I hope you'll subscribe to my channel, hit the bell to notifications, and interact in comments. You can also become a channel member for exclusive content and members-first videos. 💗

Francine's Cancer Journey
Hi Everyone! I was planning on scheduling a live, but I'm still in recovery mode, and I need to rest a bit. I think I overdid this past weekend, so I'll see you in a few days. 💙

I'll be speaking at The Lancaster Metaphysical Chapel in Lancaster this Sunday 9/20 at 11am. My homily is based on the Forgiveness video I uploaded recently. I'll be offering messages as well. Come out and say hi! lancasterchapel.org

No video today, guys. I'm spending time with Kris. I made homemade hamburger rolls for burgers on the grill. But first, we're off to the movies. I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend.

Francine's Cancer Journey
DNA-based nanobots can kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Scientists at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet have developed a DNA-based nanorobot designed to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue largely untouched.
The tiny robot carries a powerful cell-killing molecule, but it remains safely hidden until it encounters the acidic environment surrounding many solid tumors.
Only then does the nanorobot reveal its "weapon" and begin attacking cancer cells.
In laboratory experiments, the researchers showed that the weapon remained inactive under normal conditions but became highly effective when exposed to the lower pH found in and around tumors.
When tested in mice with breast cancer, the nanorobot reduced tumor growth by about 70% compared with an inactive version.
The technology is built using "DNA origami," a technique that folds strands of DNA into microscopic structures capable of carrying out specific tasks.
Researchers say the built-in "kill switch" is designed to reduce damage to healthy cells—a major challenge with many cancer treatments.
The technology is still in the early stages of development and has not yet been tested in humans.
The team now plans to evaluate the nanorobot in more advanced cancer models and investigate ways to make it target specific types of tumors even more precisely.
If future studies prove successful, the approach could open the door to a new generation of highly targeted cancer therapies.
