I too would have the same reaction to the coyote. wishing that full circle moment does it’s thing 👏🏼 also “see through specialist” is the best name ever for an xray tech I think. wishing you all the best & sending you lots of love!
What a wild synchronicity!
So glad you are ALIVE Grace❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for taking all my mushed up thoughts about that coyote and turning it into the best words!
“Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion”..as a 12 year bc survivor, having had two lumpectomies and 10 weeks of radiation I can relate…I’m proud of you, for being honest, humorous, skeptical, while going through something that is truly life-changing..your bravery is admirable, you’ve fought the good fight, like a girl🎀💖
Thank you! And huge congratulations on 12 years!! Incredible!
Ah hell, I read “12 year old” and was shocked. You are tough as nails though. Wow!
you go girl!!! congratulations
Hearing “I don’t know, and that’s okay” just caused me to burst into tears. Seeing you in such great spirits and seeing how much you’ve learned and grown as a person throughout this process while being so open and honest is truly such a gift. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤️ I don’t know you personally but I’m so proud of you.
As an x-ray tech, I will forever be telling people that my title is "see-through specialist" thank you for that
I absolutely cackled at that, I'm a nurse and I wholeheartedly plan on using that from now on too 🤣
I just would like to point out that the "DailyGrace", and "It's Grace" "troubled" girl has managed to build a loving community that is still here today, which is pretty awesome!... I'm very happy and thankful to have news from this girl who once upon a time, hazed me, and made my day! ❤🧡💛
A life to make? ... more like, thanks for having our girl's back all these years ❤
@@StaceWah "Youuuuu've been haaaazed!" 😄
@@alifetomake 💖
"You can do it. You can do hard things. You can do things that you don't think you can do." That rereassurance from you is truly everything. And it can apply to soooo many situations...Thank you so much for this😭😭💜💜
As someone who has had a chronic health issue for a couple of decades, I can concur with your idea that full, thoughtful, detailed information from doctors is such a caring thing for them to do. Being able to feel like I know what I'm dealing with and what might come next makes things much easier, in so many ways.
"My brain has been through a lot" resonates with me. I felt like I was thinking in super slow motion when I did chemo. I'm glad no one told me about the the "guide" wire process, I felt like I had guitar strings sticking out of my boob! Sooooo happy you have completed chemo and surgery - congratulations on some huge f'n accomplishments!
Yes just like guitar strings!
Once again your video got me in the feals! When you mentioned your angel of a mother Theresa , i cried. Thanks for another great eye opening video about going through the cancer process. You Rule Helbig! Go Birds!!
💖
I just love the jumps back to "in studio" Grace
Hi Grace, watching this felt very full circle. I’m currently sitting in my home office working on a project/remodel you’re talking about daily Grace and I flash back to watching daily Grace in my dorm room in college sitting at my desk working on getting my interior design degree. I’m so glad you’re doing well, and I’ve been sharing with my mom all about your journey/recovery. ♥️
Wow love that full circle!
@@itsgrace hope you, Elliot, and Goose have a nice new year! 🩷
Every update video makes me so happy. I'm rooting for you so hard. You're doing awesome, Grace.
Ps. I would love to watch old Grace videos along with you. Old content is definitely different from anything you've posted, especially lately
Each little clip was charming but super emotional and real. You did it! You made it through surgery! You made it through so much this year! ♡
Watching this on Friday and checked IG to learn you are cancer free!! I am so so happy for you!❤
I admire all your honesty and openness! Whatever health news you receive on Thursday, I sincerely hope that you can continue your positive attitude to fight the big C!
i was hospitalized *on christmas* because i fell and broke my knee/tibia in a bad way, so thank you for this. i wasn’t expecting to be getting surgery tomorrow morning but having this to watch will be nice.
Good luck!!
Good luck with your surgery ❤
Good luck with your surgery. I’m so sorry you have to go through that but I am sending you all of my best wishes and love your way!
All the best for your surgery & wishing you a full, smooth & speedy recovery
I broke my fibula and I think from how violent the fall was and walking on it I needed surgery. I think I've blocked that out of my life it wasn't even that long ago.
Been here since daily Grace and I can’t thank you enough for your honestly and vulnerability. You’re an amazing lady and I’m so glad you feel able to share this with us ❤
I love the advice to remind yourself that 'this is temporary'. I feel like that can apply to any difficult situation. Congrats on making it to the other side Grace. Glad that coyote came and checked on you.
The “and that’s okay” addition at the end made me kinda emotional. Like I’ve really seen a major transition in your content being so feelings averse to so much more genuine. It’s beautiful.
when you said "and that's okay" after "I don't know" it rly made me feel things 🥲I love that mug btw ❤
These vlogs have helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. New city, new job, no friends, depression, anxiety, mania, addiction, and just general misery. You've been an inspiration, a companion, and a heroine. Keep fighting and keep posting if you can and feel like it! Thank you!
Nothing like crying at 9:15am while catching up on work! You have such a an amazing way with words, projecting your thoughts and feelings on such a relatable level, and showing how much growth you’ve had in your TH-cam career. So many tearful moments, telling your little brother first cause he’s your person, your moms support just instantly making you and all of us tear up, “i don’t know, and that’s okay.” So much good content. I wish my mother could’ve seen all of this when she went through breast cancer, but I’m so glad she can look at it today and reflect on how capable she was during that time. You are wonderful ❤
So proud of you Grace! And so happy your surgery is done and you’re at the tail end of this!
Super grateful for your vlogs. My cousin just got diagnosed with cervical cancer and these vlogs helped me understand a bit of what she’s going to go through.
Also this particular video has helped my anxiety a little for an upcoming procedure. It’s small but it’s still my first surgery and first time under anaesthetic.
Anyway, thank you for these videos throughout your cancer journey! Way to kick butt!! 💜💜
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have to have a lumpectomy tomorrow and I'm very nervous about it but seeing your positive outlook has definitely helped
You can do it! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it could be!
@@itsgrace you were right! Deff not as bad as I was expecting, just very sore now, thanks again!
Why am I smiling and wiping away tears? Love you,Grace! And a big hell yes to that coyote!
You are an absolute treasure. Thank you for being so open through this life changing time. You truly cannot imagine how helpful and lovely your posts are.
💖
Hearing your moms response to you telling her made me cry immediately and then you got choked up and I full on sobbed. Just know I'm sending you all the cyber hugs. In the most creepy way. We love you so much grace ❤
So happy you are doing so well. Will be thinking of you tomorrow and hope you guys have a fabulous new year. I’m all for a better 2024!
You're one of my longest and favorite parasocial relationships and I've been thinking about you almost everyday since this new cancer chapter started. Your growth as a person is so apparent, thank you for sharing with us for all these years, Grace. You have helped me more than you know. I am so proud of you. Love you so much
I am just getting caught up on your journey. I’ve watched your videos since you were posting with Michelle. You are amazing and such a light. So incredibly inspiring. the world is lucky to have your voice and presence. I hope you never stop creating content because all of your life chapters are true gifts to anyone lucky enough to find your videos. So grateful to a friend encouraging me to circle back when I was afraid the updates might make me too sad. Your storytelling is genius and a warm blanket over a dark time for many. Thank you. wishing you health and happiness in the new year.
"Following my fears" is such a lovely thought and healing. Thank you for that... Still sending all the heals - cheers
it's been really powerful watching this journey you've been sharing with us. i've been watching your videos for like? ten years? longer? no real concept of time here but as a woman who has always had an enormous fear of medical things, it's been very helpful seeing the way that you share your experience. helpful enough that i'm going in to get my boobs checked friday cause i've noticed a change that i'm unsure of, and that's something that i would have avoided entirely not all that long ago. anyway thank you for sharing, for being as funny now as you were to me forever ago, and wishing you an amazing, fresh new year.
so glad you're getting it checked!! good luck! 💪🏻
THANK YOU for answering my question (the last one was me). Watching your journey has helped me so much as I'm just at the beginning stages. I'm feeling alllll the nerves and fear, but I will remember that I CAN do hard things. Thank you!
you got this!! and it won't last forever!
Grace, you made me cry today in the best way possible. Im so happy your treatment went well and that you seem so happy and loved. Ive been here a long time, and i am just so delighted to still have part of you to enjoy.
Congratulations on being post-surgery, Grace. You did all the hard things. Keeping you in my thoughts while you're in the strange waiting time.
I’m so glad you’re being so open about all this process. I’m pretty sure it ain’t easy but I hope talking about it helps you to fell better too
the coyote gave me chills. I love full circle moments like that. sending all the love. so happy whenever i see your face on this otherwise lil box of doom. Will be eagerly awaiting that new book!
"after that, i don't know, and that's okay" 🫶🏼
i kept it together through this whole video, but that brought me to tears (in a good way). i'm so glad you're here, Grace. and i hope 2024 brings further peace and more of the joy you were denied in 2023. sending love as always! 💜
💖💪🏻
Lost my dog of 13 years today, doing a lot of reflecting and your video popped up on my tiktok the connection with warmth I feel from your videos is insane! Glad your doing well and being so strong! Needed to see your video today ❤
💖
I came out of the fog of anesthesia (from a minor surgery) by laughing at a joke the nurses made about some office gossip they were sharing. We all laughed, and they panicked realizing I could hear, even though I seemed out. I enjoyed surprising them, still one of my favorite stories
Congrats on having finished surgery!
I'm so excited for the new book, I'm really glad to hear that that's still a project for you in the new year.
Thanks again for being so vulnerable and open. The message you put out there is truly profound. I'm glad that you chose to share as much as you have over this whole period, especially since you have developed a understandably more critical perspective on the internet.
Every generation thinks they're special but we millenials are really in a unique place that we're the last to have witnessed a world without the internet. For people in the future that might seem like a world without fire.
wishing you and your hubby A GREAT NEW YEAR AHEAD! You are amazing to share this and help others.
You are such a sunshine and also a strong warrior at the same time. So inspiring
Sending you so much positive energy and love ❤
I’m so proud of you! I think I can speak for SO MANY by saying we’re SO PROUD of you!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You’re an inspiration. ❤
I've heard the term Gentle January as a way to ease into the new year rather than feeling rushed. It's great. I can create goals and aspirations as time allows since life is fluid and growth is constant. I think a good word for me this year will be Progress/Growth and/or Explore.
Thank you for giving the internet a glimpse of what it this process looks like. My mom had breast cancer and I would have liked to have someone like you to show me just a bit of what she was going through at the time. It can’t be easy to be so vulnerable on the internet, and I hope you never feel obligated to share with us, but it’s definitely helping someone understand what someone they love is going through or has gone through.
Honestly, I had a reaaaally hard time in my late teens about 10 years ago and at this time I binge watched every single video you, Mamrie and Hannah put on the internet. Including Camp Takota. I even had a coala onesie.. that stuff was my escape from real life and I kinda connected with you because I have always been awkward and don't like being touched by people.. well, turns out I have Aspergers. You guys helped me through dark, dark times. And I want to thank you for that!
I hadn't watched your content in a while and suddenly the youtube algorithm thought it was a good idea to show me your first cancer video. I was shocked to the core. I've been there since then and I am really proud of you. You are fcking strong. It even kinda felt like by watching I was there to support you in your dark times (sounds stupid, I know but I don't know how to express myself in English when I am emotional, it is not my first language and I live in a country where English is never used) to kinda pay you back in a way 😂
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I also went thru my active cancer treatment in 2023. Lumpectomy, chemo, BRCA2 diagnosis that led to Double Mastectomy and Radical Hysterectomy. I am so tired of cancer being the focus of my life. But, like you said, "I'm alive"...and grateful. I know it will still be this way for a while, but I am hopeful 2024 will be better, less cancery. Wishing you Peace, Health and Continued Happiness in 2024 and always!
Thank you for sharing this journey. I hope that your new year is full of goodness and meaning and fun.
You are so articulate. I appreciate you being so honest and open, sharing your story. We’re around the same age and fully felt some of your feelings about various things. Keep on doing everything you’re doing. You’re an amazing person.
Grace, you are amazing!
I had a Lumpectomy on 29 November. My experience is completely different, and as I learned from my two sisters who are breast cancer survivors, every experience is very individual and different. Fortunately, everything biopsied, tested ,and removed has been benign, but it's still been a concern, and will be for the rest of my life. (As my Genetic Counselor informed me, also I now have a Genetic Counselor because I'm fancy af.)
Thank you for sharing your experience. When I received my biopsy results in October it was much easier to share the news of upcoming surgery with family.
Your humor and outlook are a treasure. I'm way older than you (I learned of you years ago from my daughter, who is similar in age to you and is still a fan, as am I) and I think you are doing super great. I also don't know. 🤓
Sending love and healing vibes. 💜
So excited for your book, the genuine way you have been speaking in these last few vlogs has been really…captivating? That’s the best word I can use to sum it up. But it’s wonderful, and yes WE CAN DO HARD THINGS
15:05 Grace I am so happy for you. Your journey has been wonderful to observe. You’ve grown so much since NY. Smellbig would have never opened up like this on camera in the past. ♥️
17:49 me again, feel a bit emotional. 😢😂
21:10 again, me. Very similar point in my own life.
In case you were wondering, Still crying. 😭 😂
24:50 idk, and that’s okay. ♥️
And now you’re in the clear with your complete response!! Well done Grace, you smashed it
Thank you for being so open about this journey. My mum was just diagnosed with cancer. I and the doctors are confident that she will be fine after chemo but I am very scared nonetheless. Hearing your story and honestly bring a lot of comfort.
same here, my mom was in the hospital over xmas holiday and today confirmed it is cancer. stay strong
sending lots of support to you and your mom!!
@@itsgrace thank you so much 🤍
@@WhisperRunner sending prayers your way. Thank you for responding 💕
@@WhisperRunner confirmed it is not curable. They have not said terminal and have not said remission. Not sure what do with the information. How do I cope with this?
22:00 given how much of your content I’ve consumed over the years (and haven’t looked back much to early dailygrace) it’s absolutely bonkers thinking about your level of success. You absolutely were a pioneer in this platform! If you’ll allow me to be a further fanboy, you might really enjoy Beyonces recent concert film. It’s obviously a blast but most importantly shows a lot of behind the scenes about her psyche dealing with that amount of success that I think you’d relate to. Did I just call you the Beyoncé of your TH-cam genre? Maybe! Bye!
Hell yeah, so proud of you, fellow warrior! Glad surgery went well! 💕✨
And thank you. For showing what it’s like. It is a whole new community of humans, the cancer community. You kinda feel like an alien. Because it changes you on such a deep level. Thank you for sharing your story. 🤟
@@JackiHamm 💪🏻💖
You’re incredible grace. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. This has been immensely inspiring and helpful- you got me to get my first mammogram and when they saw something (just dense tissue) I went, “Grace did it, I can do it if I have to.” Love you so much, so glad you’re on the healing and processing step of this journey/phoenix rise! Excited to see your rebirth however it looks on you❤
congrats on your first mammogram!
Thank you for reminding me that I can do hard things. ❤ I'm so relieved to see that you are continuing to do well!
You probably said silly stuff before surgery but they’re so used to it! I’m glad your surgery went well and hope the results are clean. Keep on taking your sweet time getting to a new normal! Don’t expect to wake up and feel ‘normal’ again. This is a great time to be in tune with your body and find a new baseline to make sure you are always listening to your body. Wishing you the best and hoping this is the end of your medical journey.
Great advice! 🙏🏻
Things I didn't learn at the seminary: Jesus's blood type was French Roast.
Grace, it's good to see you back to almost normal. Your humorous POV certainly remains unchanged, and that's a continued delight.
This one made me laugh out loud 😂
@@thebonnienonnie Thanks for your comment. It's rewarding to know that someone found my comment funny.
I hope your mom and brother are doing ok- I remember how much they loved you in your old videos. I’m so happy you’re healing and doing ok ❤
I loved hearing you talk about the social media stuff and anxiety! Masters degree Grace! I’m thankful you had Elliott to help you and that you fought to make it to the other side of chemotherapy and surgery! You can do hard things! ❤️
thank you for another incredible video. i was very moved when you were talking about sharing your diagnosis with friends and family, particularily with your mom. i teared up. similar for me, this year i hadto tell my mom about my own health scares and i was so scared to make her worry, but she was my rock. she told me i was going to be ok and get through this, and immediatly i felt so much better and like I could actually get through this. she was so calm. but my aunt did let it slip that behind closed doors my mom was so so worried. the nature of a parent i suppose. thankyou again for sharing your journey. i wonder if youll ever know just how much it has helped me and thousands of others. youre amazing and i really look up to you.
Grace, you are such a strong woman. I have been following you on and off for so many years now it is fucking incredible! You have been my pick me up for so long, you have no idea!
All my prayers go out to you, but you are such a warrior, only hope my wishes reach your tip toes!
P.S. please make it a plan to come visit Romania, Europe! Would really love me giving you a very sarcastic european tour!
Love and healing to you dear Miss Grace! 🙌🏼✌🏼
Yay I’m so happy your surgery went well, that coyote totally foretold it 🐺❤ Still watching and wishing you the best over here in Finland 🇫🇮💙 Hope you have a speedy recovery and a happy start to the new year 2024 🎊🎉
I’m an X-ray tech. I’m now only going by See-Through-Specialist. Love it 😂
graceeeeeeeeeeee just letting you know how important you are!!! you are and always will be one of my biggest inspirations in comedy. love you so much!!! so proud of you!!! been here since mydamnchannel and will always be here :)
It always feels weird when I watch these videos and relate to them because of my pregnancies. But I am the same way with not wanting too many details and my husband also saw my body doing some weird stuff and was so supportive about it. I like the updates and am glad you’re doing well. Hoping for good results and a speedy recovery.
Hell yeah Helbig 💪 What a journey this has been & I’m so glad the surgery went well. Loved the vloggy clips & q&a and sending all the very best vibes for good news from the test results!
love you, thanks for talking to us always. sending you the biggest most gentle hug
I don’t know and that’s okay is going to be the new sign off I can feel it❤. Also, if you have the energy for a chemo product favs in the “can ya see it” style I just feel like the world needs it
Aww Grace I’m so fluffing proud of you. The way you have handled this, seeing Elliot care for you whilst still having dumb adventures. You’re a hero!
My question is now you’ve graduated.. do you know what you’d like to do with it?!
If you do decide to bring back past things from older videos I would love to see your monthly favorites video make a comeback. I always adored the funny way you would say “CaN yOu SeE iT!?”
GRAAAAACE!!! I am in my feels FOR you, so I can only imagine how you're feeling right now! CONGRATS on finishing the next wild and terrifying step in this process. Here's to a much less eventful 2024 for you - or just as eventful, but in FUN ways! Thank you for sharing this with us - i can definitely relate to the feeling of only wanting to share the shitty stuff with friends/family once I can tell them I've figured it out and its not gonna be shitty anymore!! So thank you for that reminder 💜
GOOD JOB GRACE!!! I’m so proud of you! I love you and Ive been sending all the witchy healing vibes your way 💜💜💜
So happy the surgery went well for you. I hope recovery continues to go well.
Grace I missed you.. I've been out a while and I haven't been able to check up on you.. you are a strong person and you inspire me to be one also.. I've been a since I don't even remember. thank u for reminding me that whatever struggle I'm going through, it's temporary. I don't know a lot of things about my future but it's good to know I am not alone with that feeling, that there's someone else who's going through the same thing in a different way. We don't always have to have answers in front of us and sometimes we need to live with uncertainty and that's okay.
I'm glad you're doing well. Hope you had a nice xmas. Happy new year Grace.
I gave up coffee too but it reeled me back in. I do drink more tea these days.
Glad everything went well and your on the mend. You've come a long way baby. I think that coyote is your new spirit animal. Although, I don't know how I feel about random wild things in the backyard. Hope you guys have a Happy New Year!
So glad to see your beautiful face ❤ I'm glad your procedure went well and I am sending all good vibes for great results!
Loved the divergence from the heavier content to talk about UAPs and your relationship with the internet! I was born in the first year of Gen Z but find a good bit in common with Millennials too, hence the term Zillenial. My fellow ‘97 babies and I grew up alongside evolving tech. It’s almost like as we grew up, so did technology. I had some very early digital toys and I know what a HitClip is, but I also learned to type in middle school and had an iPhone by my late teens. Wishing you well, Grace!
Proud of you for everything you have been through❤️
You were one of the first TH-camrs I ever subscribed to back when I was like a junior (?) in high school (2010ish). I get being uncomfortable looking back yourself at the videos from that time, but as a longtime viewer, I look back so fondly on them! So we’re not all cringing at you OR with you, if that helps 😹
Our girl is cancer free! 🙌🏻🥹
After well over a decade of watching your adventures, this news made my heart explode with pride and relief. There is nothing you can’t do! 🎉🎉🎉
I have a chronic illness called CRPS (aka the suicide disease....cute, right? 🤦♀️ I want to thank you so much for sharing your story. You are helping so many people out there. And from a chronic illness survivor, you have always helped get me thru some rough times with your humor, kindness, and goofiness. You've brought so much laughter and happiness into my life for a decade. Sending you all the ❤ and all the good healing vibes! You got this, Grace!
You made getting anesthesia sound easier than I’m imagining in my brain so thanks for that. I have put off a surgery for a long time due to being scared of being put to sleep. You made it sound almost pleasant. lol
I am glad that u have gotten through what all u have..and keep going...u most definitely got this❤❤❤❤😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
Hahaha I clicked to see how you're doing and I left so seen!! I also get distracted by people's faces and the environment when I'm talking with someone. It's hard for me to retain what they're saying so I just politely nod.
Thank you for sharing Grace! I care for you deeply. Here's for a best 2024, girl! 🥂
Your psychology studying is showing through and I’m here for it! 2024 is the year of the self aware girlies!
Grace, I appreciate these videos so much. I'm supposed to be having major surgery tomorrow and am so nervous that it will be postponed again. Last time, I waited in a pre-op bed for half a day before they sent me home because the hospital was too full. Fingers crossed that I get the surgery tomorrow.
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I had the surgery yesterday and everything went well! 🎉
Thank you for sharing this journey. You got this, Grace. Happy holidays! ❤
You're smashing this process! I'm super excited for whenever the new book comes out too. 💖
Been here for awhile and still get excited to see a grace upload. 💗
Was writing in my notebook as you said to write down ‘this is temporary’ so I did 😊
Nice!
Watching this after the good news of a total response!! So the coyote symbolism is even more significant. I totally get why you were excited.
it's interesting to me to see the different approaches to treating cancer, especially with different types of cancer. before you think i'm being gross, i had stage 3 (out of 4) colon cancer in 2017. i had been sick for several years leading up to it. they started me with surgery, and a few months after i recovered, they started me on chemo, followed by radiation, followed by more chemo. i'm alive today thanks to that-we caught it just in time. they staged me at 3A, as of the 20 lymph nodes they "harvested" for testing, 2 had cancer cells. i see that with certain forms of breast cancer they start you with chemo to shrink the tumor before surgery. i'm crossing my fingers for you, grace! sending love & healing your way ~
wow it's incredible what you've been through and how different everyone's treatment plans/experiences are while also being very similar emotionally. glad you caught yours just in time!
Sooooo excited for your next book 📖 ❤ much love ❤️
Congratulations on surgery, and good luck for tomorrow!
