After watching this, I had to Google how Rhod is doing now. He received his first clear scan in October 2023.
He’s going on tour next year, which I bought tickets for a couple weeks ago. I last saw him on tour during his Battenburg Tattoo tour. I’m glad he’s doing better.
I am so relieved. Thank you for making this post
I came to the comments for this Thank You. I don't even know who Rhod is but I'm very happy for him and his loved ones 💟
I'll add to the "thank you's" for your update on Rhod's condition. One of my favourites on WILTY, QI, etc. (I'm an Aussie and we get those programs Down Here).
OP, I much appreciate the update, ty
@@nolajacobs6730 He's a comedian who does stand up amongst other things. I know him best from Taskmaster. He seems like a decent guy & can be absolutely bonkers which can be lots of fun if you like that sort of thing :)
awesome news ...thank you
It's so weird seeing Rhod Gilbert cry because I'm so used to seeing him laugh and swear and be witty. I don't even know the man, but it makes me so happy that he's doing better and will tour. So happy to see his good news, his moment of triumph after such an ordeal. He's a lucky man.
You will never know how it feels to watch someone who has had the all clear . I’m currently going through chemo as I have stage 4 breast cancer , I will never get the all clear . They are just giving me as much time as possible . I was only diagnosed a year ago too , but it was found too late to cure x
I just read your comment after watching the clip and I don't know what to say other than I Wish You Well !
Hang in there. My neighbor had Stage 4 and has felt pretty well for the last 10 years. She continues to do well!
I hope you will be cured
Wishing you all the best ❤❤❤
Dedees, your story sounds exactly the same as mine ... only ... I feel cured and never think about cancer. My next appointment is on the 23rd Nov and I feel really confident. I don't believe in losing sleep over it ... not when I feel 100% fine. I so wish the same for you and all others in the same boat. 🙏🤗😍🥰
Durban / South Africa 🌍🦁
No matter what he's doing, he's such a beacon, here with humility and vulnerability. Rhod is an absolute treasure 😢❤
I picked him up a few years ago in london in my taxi,an absolute gentleman he was,glad he is doing well
Let me start by explaining that I am an oncology nurse in New York City at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I have been a fan of yours for a long time. I send you so much love and respect that it’s difficult to explain. It is always an enormous privilege to care for every single cancer patient. When you thanked the technicians after your scan I could not stop crying. I am deliriously happy that you are well and I continue to think of you often and to send you love and gratitude and strength. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It means so much to anyone in fear of or fighting cancer and I hope you know how amazing a gift that is. Thank you.
I had no idea Rhod had gone through this, I'm in NZ and never saw it reported. I am so in awe of this lad, so much about him is to be admired, not only his charity work, his wonderful comedy but the inspiration and comfort this gives to others. Showing himself so vulnerable and his raw honesty does help others to face this knowing their feelings are valid. That sounds daft to someone who's never been through this type of thing but when you have it you beat yourself up over the emotions you have and you expect too much of yourself. Cry when you need to, feel angry, let your emotions out because you only have one battle to fight and that's the disease, you don't have to prove anything to anyone. So happy to read he's got the all clear and will be back on the road to put those smiles on faces again.
God Bless You, Rhod Gilbert. I send you a big warm embrace & best wishes for your health & happiness.
He has tirelessly raised money for Cancer - his reward is to be given it himself. That's the only thing God has blessed him with.
Somebody give that man a hug. ❤
Rhod described perfectly being a wreck going into that first scan after treatment. And I was hugely relieved to hear his result. I had stage 4 tongue cancer in 2009 and went through a similar treatment at Royal Marsden Hospital. Fourteen years later, I remain as grateful as I was then for the care I received from immensely skilled and caring doctors, nurses, and technicians. Thank you for sharing your experience, for your bravery and grace in opening this emotional window to people who will hopefully never have to face it themselves.
I've always really like Rhod, not just his comedy but his attitude. That was so hard to watch, but I'm glad that he's managed to come out the other side. More power to you, sir.
I’m a 49 year old man. This made me cry for the first time in over 30 years. My dad just got diagnosed with cancer (prostate) as well. Watching how open and brave Rod was, broke me. I never wanted to hug a dude so bad in my life. I’m in the states but if Rod ever tours out this way no doubt I’d go. My son loves him too. What a special man.
I’m so so happy for you!
I was battling stage 3 breast cancer for 2 years.. I also got the all clear in October of this year!
Really appreciate life, every minute of every day! A second chance! So much love and healing sent your way!! ❤🙌🏻
4:02 is such an important moment. I went through chemo treatments for my own cancer and the nurses, the doctors, the custodial staff, EVERYONE was absolutely amazing people. Each one was a comfort to have and made the hard treatments as easy as they could possibly be.
I did all my chemo in the hospital because it was a 24 hour thing for 6 straight days. In the middle of maybe the second round i woke up in the middle of the night sick and before i could reach even a bucket i threw up all over myself. I sat there almost in tears cause i was a grown adult and had just puked on myself like a child because i could not even make it to the bathroom. As im sitting there wondering what to do and feeling ashamed of myself and at the lowest i have ever felt the nurse came into the room. She must have seen my heart spike on her monitor. She came in and calmly helped me up and to clean me up and get me a new gown. She didnt act like it was a burden or that it even bothered her. She just came in and got right to work making sure i was okay. I didnt feel any shame for it, she just wanted to help me and told me it was okay, that these things happened. I was at my lowest point i have ever been in my life and she came in and washed that all away and i didnt feel ashamed of what i had done anymore and ill never forget that moment.
Nurses are amazing people, a special kind of person.
Dear Mr Gilbert, I’m so happy for you, and on selfish note I’m so glad you will return to work and make me and mrs cry with laughter again.
So glad Rhod got through it.
You never get through it. Head and Neck cancer radiation therapy leaves permanent damage, I’m nearly 5 years post treatment, new scar tissue is still forming causing eating problems. Ongoing problems with ulcers, sore throat, oral thrush, all my teeth have gone, post nasal drip clogs up my throat, food gets stuck in throat which makes me vomit. Radiation treatment to neck area has dried out the sheath around the top of my spine so I get electric shocks down arms and legs. Probably lots of other side effects but these immediately spring to mind. However, it was worth it, so far 🤞. Took me 3 years before I could eat crisps, now that was a reason for celebration. You try and not let it get you down and make the most of the days when you feel ‘good’. None of us will ever get our full saliva function back.
@@freebirdh604 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offence.
Kudos to Rhod for making such an honest video about his experience, I’ve had cancer and radio / chemo myself, so can really relate to what he’s going through.
Watching this has brought me to tears
We lost our mother to cancer earlier this year and the whole process of chemo is brutal. It destroys you. Physically and mentally
We lost our mother, but I am genuinely happy for Rhod that he came out of this. It is tragically beautiful to watch
Same here. My dad didn't make it. He didn't die of cancer, he died of chemo. So glad Rhod made it. ❤
❤❤❤
So sorry to hear.
When TH-cam treasure (+ engineer of goofy things), Simone Giertz, got the all clear, she turned her treatment mask into a light fixture. th-cam.com/video/qcCxs-YoAI8/w-d-xo.html
My heart is breaking at the pain he is having. I’m glad it’s over, praying it stays over for him and all those who are suffering.
So glad Rhod got through the cancer and treatment and is recovering. Thank you Rhod for sharing your moving emotional story. Stay well
My husband battled metastatic Pancreatic cancer for 2 years and 10 days.
Thank God you got the best news possible, Rhodes Gilbert. I am so happy for you and your family ❤❤❤❤
Heart broken. Rhod is such a great character. Sean is/was such a great character. If cancer could just leave our favourite people alone. Or just.. everyone alone.. that would be amazingly good.
seeing rhod so vulnerable hurts my heart :(
Cancer treatment can be very difficult. The kindness of the people giving it makes such a difference. Brave to show this.
Saw him at Hastings White Rock Theatre last night, he got a standing ovation from the crowd it was such a good show. Well done Rhod!
I've had cancer when I was 11, 2 years ago they discovered an (unrelated) tumor which is a dorment thing I shouldn't worry about. But it's very nice to see this. It's unique that someone shares it like this and it makes me feel stronger about my situation too. I know comedians aren't always the funny guys, but still, it hits harder to see a comedian beat down like this. And to get through it nonetheless, gives hope in a weird way. Hope you are allright, Rhod (if you'd ever get to read this).
I like to think no one cheered louder than Sean Lock. Congrats Rod, miss you Sean.
My goodness. Seeing such a sweet and funny man so downtrodden is so freaking heartbreaking. But I'm glad he is strong enough to present his ordeal, even though you can see him pushing hard. Thank you for sharing. 😢
I genuinely wish you a long and happy life, Rhod!❤
I feel emotional just watching this, i can't imagine what patients go through having that dreaded talk with their doctors. I'm very glad Rhod is feeling better now, fingers crossed he stays well. Love the man, he openly talks about very real problems loads of people go through and not many people are brave enough to do so. He's a good egg!
I've seen my dad cry a total of two times in my life. Once at the funeral of his mother and once, when he told us he wouldn't need chemotherapy after all, when he had bowel cancer. The relief Rhod (and my dad) felt must be insane
Congratulations Rhod! As a Minnesotan American who discovered you through 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, I appreciate the humor you bring to the world. Thank you for all of the laughs you gave me and for flipping off Jimmy C. He needed it!
I appreciate his honesty in his battle against cancer. My parents both died of cancer and I have friends who have been through cancer battles themselves and they are all still here!! I’m so glad he’s gotten through this.
The place he works so hard to save, has now saved him. Wow.
Oh Rhod 😢
Praying he's alright and the cancer never returns.
Incredible scenes there, Rod is an amazing person and hardly shows any emotion, but you can see how much that means to him. Bless you
As someone who's gone through Cancer too - there's so much that goes on that people wouldn't even possibly imagine - my heart goes out to Rhod and everyone else who is going through it.
❤❤❤
I thank you for your kind words, I have just had my third year control tests after being diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in oct of 2020, had surgery and six months of chemo. it was the worst time of my life but I think and hope I have pulled trough. Rhod you are a star for the work you have and are doing to try and help fight cancer... keep strong and carry on..
I'm an American so I wasn't familiar with Rhod until I discovered WILTY and started watching from the beginning. He's my absolute favorite guest so I went lookong for more especially since he hasn't been on in the later seasons. I watched and loved clips of his stand up so I wondered what he was doing now. I'm so sorry he went through this but glad he seems to have come through. He brings joy to a lot of people and I hope he stays well and has a long, happy life.
I got the all clear on cancer 3 weeks ago.. im still weeping about it. bladder and prostate removed. I know what Rhod is going through and I wish him the absolute best of times ahead.
That’s just wonderful news that he’s cancer free. I hope he continues to heal mentally as well and feels peace again.
Sadly it is called remission. Not cancer free. It takes five years to declare cancer free. We wait in limbo to see if the treatment works. If there is re-occurrence 80% of the time it is in the first two years. But you are right it is wonderful to have you first scan show NED! Now lets hope they all are!
Rhod, Thank you for this - it’s so hard to convey to others how it can feel going through cancer treatment. Literally familiar scenes for me here as I am indebted to the wonderful people at Velindre myself and always thank them with all my heart.
You just never know… I’d gone through 56 years just needing occasional dental treatment and then in a single moment my very existence is depending on their critical medical expertise and treatments. You don’t think it’ll be you but then it suddenly becomes your whole life. What’s more Velindre kept going without interruption of my treatment when the pandemic hit. True professionals who must be properly valued by us all. I’m lucky so far and I wish you well for your ongoing recovery.
That was distressing and uplifting. A huge dose of human spirit before my morning coffee. Thank you ❤
Been thru it. Horrible. Helping my bff go thru it w/ 18 yr old granddaughter. We're here. Distance means nothing. Many blessings, Rhod. Long life.❤
This breaks my heart! I wish you only the best! God Bless!
Could not stop crying! Rhod is just such an AMAZING person! So happy to hear things are going well, lately. 💓
I’m crying seeing this. So happy for you Rhod ❤
Well done to Rod and all of the Doctor's and nurse's.
Rhod - crying with you here, so emotional and reminds me of my dad, first and only time I ever saw him cry was after finishing his treatment ❤️
I am 11 months post treatment for throat cancer. This is but a glimpse into the horror of treatment, but I am glad he shared. My father, step father and foster daughter all died of cancer (different kinds of cancer) the fight is harder than anything anyone can imagine. Thank you.
I was quite emotional watching this. My Mother was diagnosed with cancer about ten years ago. She went through an operation then radiation therapy and chemo, and was given the all clear. Five years later, it came back. More chemo, and then given the all clear again. After another four years, it had come back and spread to her lungs and esophagus. She refused any more chemo, and decided to live out the rest of her days to the fullest that she could. I went to all her chemo treatments, and doctors appointments and tried to do the best I could for her. I lost her last year. Cancer is such an ugly disease.
God bless you Rhod. Wishing you good health. ❤
I love this man so much! He deserves all our prayers and respect. Blessings to u, your wife, and family.
Keep checking Rhod at least once a year mate. We are absolutely delighted this nightmare has arrived in your favour.
GOD bless and keep you Rhod!! Sending much love, hugs and prayers for ongoing cancer free good news! Many of us here is Canada adore you!
God this made me cry. All the way in the US, Rhod Gilbert is still one of my absolute favorites. To see someone who has made me laugh until I cry by being full of life reduced to tears over chemo was heart wrenching. Glad for the all clear
He reminds me so much of my stepdad. I miss him every day.
Rhods such an inspiration to many and I’m so happy he got through this.
Oh Rhod, you're such a brilliant person. Thanks for sharing and I wish you a speedy recovery. Much love mate. Only 4 yrs younger than you......mind blowing journey you are on.
Saw him last year with my brother in Glasgow. What an extraordinary talent and good man. I'm so sorry he and his family have gone through this. I hope he feels the love of his fans in this moment
❤
Big hugs to Rhod & Sian! I’m so happy to hear this!
I’ve been thinking about Rhod for quite a while. I’m so happy for his good news. ❤
So glad Rhod got through it, fab news and great work from all that treated and supported him!
Good luck to him. The relief of recovery is enormous. There are still to many who don't. I'm one of the lucky ones myself.
Ah Rhod. Just so sorry to hear of your rough journey. This was powerful. Thanks so much. Stay well
Good luck Rhod - hell of thing to go through
Wow that was emotional. I spent most of last year contending with malignant breast cancer. I don't get the "all clear" talk. Mine was in my lymph nodes so the doctors say it's probably in my bones. I am on therapy for the next 9 years to see if it stays dormant. But by God I am so happy Rhodd is in the clear.
The treatment is brutal beyond belief, I had 70grey of radio, chemo made me profoundly deaf no sense of taste or smell. Outstanding. I was diagnosed in 2019 and I’m living the dream today. Still cancer free. The Swallows charity offers amazing support for what is an epic journey. Thankfully new developments in therapy are looking good for the future❤
My best friend got throat cancer a few years ago...
I was so worried for him ..
Even though we were hundreds of miles apart, I thought about him so much of the time..
Fingers crossed, he's doing well now..
The price fanny magnets pay.
Rhod, your willingness to show emotion is wonderful. So many people try to tell cancer patients that they must fight and be strong and think positively. It's really important that people going through this process can have moments when they feel weak, vulnerable, ill, sad, worried and tearful. To deny them that is cruel. And, as someone who's experienced (to a lesser degree with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia) the competence and kindness of medical staff ... well, they are without peer so far as I am concerned. So very glad that you are on the mend.
Rod, ALL THE BEST TO YOU FROM FINLAND 🇫🇮
Bless him, so open and honest
I love this man, he brings such joy to others and is so grounded and compassionate. To watch him suffer and offer his vulnerability to others is a testament to how wonderful he is. I am so happy you have had the all clear, I’m crying with you ❤❤
Poor Rhod. Bless him for sharing this story. Im so glad he's doing well now.
Rhod. I love you mate, although we’ve never met. But you’ve brought so much joy, laughter and happiness into the lives of ordinary folks who needed some cheer. And I thank you for it. You are a beautiful soul and a charming man. Know you are loved across the world dear Rhod. BEEF! 😊 ❤️🦋✨
Hello, Beef!
@@docostler Ha ha yes of course, courtesy is important at the Agriculture Dept. 😆
@@MeissnerEffect I wonder how many people, like myself, around the world have formed an 'opinion' of the UK through obsessive watching of comedy panel shows?
A west coast Canadian brought to tears by learning about Rhod's battle with cancer. The same Canadian who had been reduced to tears of laughter by the antics of Rhod, Sean, David, Lee and all the others.
@@docostler Yes the Brits have a league of great comedians, and there’s some kind of ‘honesty and genuineness’ to it too. (Not quite the right words). Nice to meet a Canadian 🇨🇦. Had a best friend from Red Deer, Alberta. I’m from Western Australia 🇦🇺. Good folks that I’ve met from your homeland. I always had a soft spot for many decades for good old Norm MacDonald, though he was more right wing politically than I. Sean Lock’s passing was very sad. I shed a tear for all the legends. But boy they still make me roar with laughter.
@@MeissnerEffect Western Canada has many Australians. A lot of them working the ski hills. I'm working with one at my job right now.
Australia has some good comedians as well. I'm addicted to (and a financial supporter of) Juice Media, their Honest Government Ads is one of the best series ever on You Tube.
Thanks for the pleasant conversation, something the Internet is not very well known for.
Wishing you the best Rhod Gilbert.
If you see this Rhod, thank you for sharing your journey with such raw vulnerability. It’s difficult to watch someone go through such an emotional and physical battle but it’s important to raise awareness. Stay strong, but always be free to cry.
Bless you fella for sharing your difficult journey with the world.
As a Gilbert from Surrey,I believe you are gonna be great. My mums had it twice and dad once. All survivors,I thank god that I still have them. Keep the positivity going. Never forget to be funny every day.
Sending BIG LOVE to you Rhod! I appreciate you even more now...not that it should take something like cancer...I've always loved your wit and humour! Way to hang in there!
Very moving - well done to Rhod and the people that treated and supported him - heal well!
More power to you Rhod! Contunued happy healing!
It’s been a few years since my cancer journey & I’m still an emotional mess, I cry at tv adds, & right now
Wow, that was actually a bit hard to watch there, Rhod. THANK YOU for sharing! And for being so kind to the workers that help you! Get well soon, and rather make us laugh again! ❤
Congratulations Rhod, thank you for sharing
I’m rooting for you Rhode Island 🇨🇦🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing this very personnal experience Rhod.
Have always enjoyed Rhod's humour. I was so saddened to read of his diagnosis. How incredibly generous of him to share his very personal journey. It is no doubt very difficult to show this vulnerability, but I'm not surprised he has chosen to do so. He's been very public and forthcoming about his neuro-diversity diagnosis and the ways he has overcome so many challenges, with grace and good humour. No doubt, it has helped others to know that he has done so. I hope that his choice to share this journey also helps others who are facing similar challenges in their lives.
I'm proud of you, Rhod, and I am very grateful! I wish you well!
I am sorry to hear you have gone through this…happy to hear you have conquered. Unfortunately, I have not had such luck. All the best Rhod, hope you stay in remission.❤
I just want to give you a hug Rhod. Thank you for sharing your brave man.
I felt so bad for Rhod when I first heard this. No matter who you have around you, you're kind of stuck going through it alone and the meds grind you down. Am so relieved he is doing OK now.
I’m sorry to hear you are traversing this difficult road with cancer. Sending daily prayers for you .🙏🏻❤️
Well done and thank you Rhod for sharing this, and for all the fundraising you’ve done and no doubt will continue to do.
I want to give him the biggest hug
Your battle was hell please l hope you never experience that trauma again and it never comes back you are so important to the world it’s going to get better and your humour is the cure for us all you are so brave sharing your experience with us god bless ❤️
Glad to watch til the very end and know Rhod is doing well.
Wow. Very touching, wish you Rhod, and every other person fighting cancer, get good news.
May God bless you Rhod. Keep smiling and the sun will shine brighter for you.
I myself went through the same treatment. All of it was awful. The day I finished radio 2 absolute worst weeks followed. The pain was horrendous, couldn’t eat. I lost 40% of my body weight. Hopefully never again!
We love you, Rhod. Good man.
Love ya Rhod. You've brought the family and I many smiles over the years and we wish you nothing but the best in your many years to come. So glad to hear things have improved
A thumbs up is such a vast understatement of how I feel about this video. I got diagnosed with MS this year and I can relate to a lot of this, yet at the same time I remain grateful my diagnosis didn't include cancer or anything so severe.
