In her post, Taylor said: "For Christmas this year, I asked my mom that one of her gifts to me be her going to the doctor to get screened for any health issues, just to east some worries of mine.
"She agreed and went in to get checked. There were no red flags and she felt perfectly fine but she did it just to get me and my brother off her case about it."

Taylor (25) continued: "My mom wanted you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle."
