@@itsgraceTH-cam offered to “translate this to English” for me lol
I picture you holding Pom Poms! =)
Going through breast cancer at the same time as you has made me feel a lot better. I appreciate you posting your journey, it can feel weird with how often I’m going to the hospital and I haven’t been working for months but your positivity makes me just feel like I’m not alone. We got this girl!
it's all very weird but yes we do got this!
Ugh I'm so sorry. Hope you are feeling well
Well said fellow warrior! It can be so isolating. You’re not alone! I’m NED as of March, but it’s been a hell of a year. It’s so hard and no one else gets it. Def not alone, girl. Sending love!
@@itsgrace your doing well considering the circumstances, it could be really easy to be in an awful mood, and you seem to be staying positive and I know we aren’t seeing your whole life but what we are seeing your handling it very well, should be proud.
I'll be praying for you, too.
Been watching you for YEARS and am so proud of the person you’ve become. We’re all rooting for you grace ❤️
We love you grace we are rooting for you through this fight crush this fucker #fuckcancer kick cancers ass
echoing this
Same!! All rooting for you 🙏♥️

@@ajoy__"i dont know" :)
I'm so glad you mentioned ADVOCATING for yourself. This is especially important for women. I've seen doctors literally ignore my wife's statements unless I echoed them. Until they start training doctors better, please, always speak up!
yes!
I’ve worked in a hospital for over a decade and couldn’t agree more…there’s some great doctors out there…and some that just suck, and you really have to figure out how to stand up for yourself and ask for what you need
I have a progressive disorder so the older I get the more drs offices/hospital rooms I end up seeing. I was so used to being ignored and treated poorly until my mother in law-who works at a dr office- started coming with me while wearing her scrubs 😂 am I a grown adult going to see drs with a parent? Yep! But do they give SO MUCH MORE information and treat me more seriously now that they see another medical staff member in the room? YEP!! 🤣
@@hannahbarrett1221 Thanks for sharing that, Hannah! I bet people could order a set of scrubs off Amazon. I mean, I don't think it's illegal to wear them - Just allow people to assume things. I'm glad your MIL is there for you!
I just finished chemo round 6 of 12 for my colorectal cancer. Making the nurses laugh is my GOAL. I’m glad I’m not alone there lol. Being a delight to others is my motto! ❤
LOVE that motto. Wishing you the best!!
yesss!
Wishing you health and healing Carrie!
Yes! More than half way there!! Amazing! You can do this! My mom's motto was "just because I'm having a shit day, doesn't mean I have the right to make your day shit too, so I'll be nice to you. Even if it's hard"😂
@@LostEveryMarble♥ ♥
She manages to make this process look normal and not terrifying 💕
Agree!
💯%!
One thing I learned from my doctor, not sure if others know, so worth sharing. If your mother had it, the recommend you get your first mammogram at the age 10 years before your mom was diagnosed (if it’s before the recommended age to start) . For example, if your mom was diagnosed at 40, you should get your mammogram at 30.
Great tip!
NO ONE warned me about the fatigue. I was prepared for nausea, throwing up, pooping, hair loss. The fatigue was the worst by far.
I am a triple negative breast cancer survivor. I’m 2 yrs cancer free. I just wanted to say thank you for using your platform to tell your story! You are brave and strong and you will beat cancers ass! You are my triple positive to my triple negative 💜
My mom had that type of cancer, she passed away last year. I miss her every single day. But it made me so happy To hear that there is people like you that recovered. Sending you hugs
Kudos to you ❤
@@MarmotayTaiwan I’m so sorry for your loss. May she rest in power ❤️
I’m a month younger than you and I’m getting my first mammogram tomorrow morning! I found something that I want to get checked, and I got in almost right away. Thank you for sharing this process with us ❤
so glad you're getting checked!
Say it with me class: “I need it notated in my medical record that you’re refusing to run tests due to my age/gender/diagnosis.”
Doctors will suddenly take you much more seriously
Grace is such a Libra, lol. (I'm the same way.) Could be going through absolute hell and crying alone in the bathroom, but still gotta make that good impression and put on a pleasant countenance or at least charm in public! 😂 Grace, you are doing so well, you got this!
you get it!
“I wanna be where the people are, but there’s no fuckin’ way I can be where the people are” absolutely killed me. I’m glad you’re taking care of you and your little humour light ball of a soul 💛.
As a chemo patient this kills me i had floor seats to Taylor swift and couldn’t go because it was a day before chemo 😂😢
Just in case nobody has told you... You are doing a great job.
thank you!!
I'm so happy grace FINALLY showed the biore strip thing. It's been years since she mentioned it on tmgw and I've always tried to imagine what that looked like. So glad to put that one to rest. Thank you
once you see it you can't unsee it
@@itsgrace first off I'm gonna throw up at the fact that you replied to me. Holy cow this give me only one chance to say that you and Mamrie are the main influence of the podcast I host with my bestie called Chill Vibes Only. Now if somehow you actually read that ad I also wanted to say it gave "I just found out in a production of Cats and I have to make my own costume"
The fact that Nathan sent you a Disney Adult starter pack is adorable. Thank you for showing us part of your journey in showing cancer who is the real boss. Slay, Queen, Slay.
“I wanna be where the people are” & “there is no f*cking way I can be where the people are” LOL so relatable, even without poison in my veins. It sounds like it should be a Tik Tok sound 😂
Honestly as a chronically ill girly, seeing you hype yourself up. Being nervous but telling yourself your brave. Is so validating and soothing. Thank you for sharing this journey. As someone who respects you so much, it really is affecting me positively.
Fellow fatigue girlie stuck in the bed today super proud of you for brushing your hair and teeth and washing your face! Also, fellow Disney adult. There is a way to be one without being the one of lore. Lots of love!
enjoy that bed today!
I know that feeling. Not a cancer patient just dealing with chronic fatigue.
To Grace and all of the other people in these comments who are fighting cancer, I am proud of you. I am in awe of you. You are going to win! ❤
Well said!
I just found Grace's videos and am currently fighting stage 3 breast cancer. Your comment put a smile on my face. Thank you.
I've never had cancer, but I've had chronic illness and autoimmune disorders since I was 3. Trying to describe fatigue to people who have never truly experienced it is impossible. So sorry you're on this journey, but you're such a light. I know you're going to crush it. Love how you're setting small goals. Getting to the couch on bad fatigue days is such a mountain, but you're doing it! Sending you light and love every day, Grace! I've always loved watching you. You've always been amazing company on my own illness journey.
small goals are huge!
@@itsgraceI second all of this!! I also have several chronic illnesses and have always found any Grace content to be such a light for me in dark times! ❤
Echoing this with two autoimmune diseases. It’s exhausted to exist. 🩷
@@AndreaLogan Sometimes it is, but there are so many beautiful things and people in this world. :)
I’m in the same boat as you and you’re so right! It’s honestly impossible trying to explain it. I hope you have some good days coming your way where you feel well and happy! ☺️
My mom just got diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Thank you for sharing your journey. It is helping me a lot.
I was completely disconnected to Grace for years, she just kinda fell off my radar for a while. Since seeing a video on tiktok of her updating people with the diagnosis I have been checking in regularly and I have to say, I absolutely missed you Grace. I have needed your mildly chaotic anxious energy for such a long time. You won't be dropping off my radar again any time soon.
hahahah I DIED at the reenactment of Marie and Grace together.
I haven't watched you in years. I had no idea you were going through this! I'm praying for your good health and God's mercy and GRACE, Grace! 🙏
Actually checked my breast whilst watching this, thank you for the reminder Grace ❤
nice!
I had to have surgery a couple of times this summer (I'm totally fine, just a weird random thing), and I NEEDED to be delightful to the nurses. My husband said I needed to win surgery. And I did win surgery. The nurses LOVED me. So, you go win chemo girl!
i understand this deeply lol
felt this deeply, nurses would come in my room to hide and i felt so amazing about that😭
It is truly amazing how wonderful a space a cancer center can actually be. I went twice a week, every week with my grandfather, and everyone there, patients, staff, and volunteers alike, were so sweet, so kind, so funny. You really think it's going to be sad and bleak, but it just isn't. Everyone there is committed to the fight. Thinking of you often, Grace. ❤
I know, the nurses are SO NICE
Been watching you long enough that it feels like we’re friends irl, like we’ve been figuring out life together. It’s an honor to get to walk through this with you, too. Here for the laughs, wherever they come. Love you, Grace!
I’ve been a full time patient for the last 3 years and the way you summed up how day to day feels in treatment/being in the healthcare system really made me feel seen. Your nurses are lucky to have you in their care and you are DOIN THE THING BABYYYYY🥹🌼🩵
i see you
That’s so thoughtful of you to be a good patient ❤ thank you for sharing your journey, you got this! ❤
So glad this round was easier on you! Keep it up! And the content is GREAT! 🤍
Thank you for the vlog! Love you Grace, you’re always in my prayers!
I love your humor through this process, please keep that going. 😄
You're such a trooper Grace. I just want to crawl through the screen and pat you on the head and tell you I'm proud of you. You're a real life superhero!
riding out covid right now so i caught up on these updates. thanks for all the info it actually is super helpful. very glad to see you in such high spirits and can’t wait to see you kick this cancers ass out the door 🖤
You're doing so good. Thank you for sharing the journey
So proud of you!!! You have a great personality and you are helping other people.
I'm so happy to see you are powering through this journey.
GRACE! I love this so so much. Thank you for being so open, and for sharing your positivity in the face of frickin' crap cancer. Rooting for you!!
I was thinking about you yesterday! You do such a great job of keeping a brave face through the tough times and I admire that - but please remember we're here and will admire you just as much even if being brave feels too hard. Thinking of you and sending all my love
Continuing to be an inspiration for all!! Thanks for sharing.
Love you Grace! Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. You're helping me sm
Long time fan, thank you for sharing this journey. You are saving lives.
A Grace vlog makes a Monday morning so much better! Thanks for taking us on even just a small part of this journey with you.
so incredibly impressed how you're handling this. I know what we see is only a snippet, but your attitude is really inspiring.
We missed vlogs and we love hearing from you!! And I’d love to hear Grace’s nurse small talk 😂
Your positivity is so inspiring!!!
You are so strong and so incredibly resilient. I applaud your ability to continue *being* as you go through this process. I am constantly sending my well wishes & I am so entirely proud of you and your strength to continue and persevere.
I'm only 31 but I get mammograms every 6 months now because I'm considered high risk after my mom, grandma and 2 aunts were all diagnosed (they all beat it - yay!) It was way less awkward and less painful than I thought it would be! and like you said the peace of mind it gives me is so worth it. For anyone nervous about getting one or talking to your doctor about it, I promise you don't have to be! There is nothing more important than being proactive about your health.
I'm so glad you've felt comfortable sharing your journey and being so open about everything Grace. It's going to help so many people. Sending you all the love - you got this!
exactly this!!
You got this Grace! Love the honesty and openness of you sharing your story. It’s so interesting to see what goes on during chemo and how it makes you feel.
Sending lots of strength and support to you and your loved ones!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can't even express how much seeing you handle this is helping my health anxiety. Thanks so much for being vulnerable with us mate
Grace thank you so much. I’m sure you’re touching so ver many people’s lives. I can’t wait to see what happens for you. I have been here with you since your beginner TH-cam days!! I’m happy to be here w you now. Xoxo
Much love, hope you get better soon. You've been one of my favorite youtubers since I was in high school now I'm a teacher and I love that I can still watch you. I'm the oldest in my family so you always felt like an older sister guide. I wish you all of the health and happiness in the world. I love that you talked about wanting to do shit and not doing anything as someone chronically ill I struggle with feeling unproductive but also needing rest days. 😊
Thank you for sharing your journey. Your positivity and curiosity is valuable in this difficult situation. You're gonna beat the tar outta this cancer ❤
Also the muppets characterization of you and Mamrie doing TMGW podcast made me lol - so accurate 😂
My mum always talked about her mammograms' and how much she hated them. I feel like I know way too much about them. Great to see your editing style in 2023 and how it's evolved. Great information, self advocacy is incredibly important especially now and love the video!
Your positivity is amazing! Thanks for sharing your journey! Pizza after chemo sounds familiar - I was always very hungry after chemo. You are a survivor Grace!
Keep up the squawky small talk! ❤
It's helping yourself and so many others sharing your story - love you're keeping your humour part of chemo!!
Thanks for keeping us updated and sharing with us Grace. We love you
I feel so much for you, love you lots, went through the same thing, and everything will only get better after this
So happy you’re doing okay, relatively speaking. Thank you for sharing with us. Your new kitchen came out great - I love the color blue you chose!
You're the best of us, Grace. Keep going!
Love you Grace! Still cracking us up through tough times, that’s our girl💖💪🏽
Proud of you Grace thank you for sharing your journey with us, love you
Love you, Grace! Thanks for sharing your experiences.
You saying “goober” while wearing an orange hoodie made me want circus peanut candy so insanely bad. The brain is a mysterious place. Thanks for sharing your journey 🥰
i loved this vlog!!!! i didn’t realized how much i missed this form of content, you’re really good at it! if you’re ever creatively strapped, this was so fun to watch and i hope it was fun to make too :)
I love your attitude, Grace. You're an inspiring human and I have so much respect and admiration for you. You're definitely helping people by doing this. I'm emotionally joining you on your battle to beat this. If anyone can, it's you. ❤
Coming back to this channel many years later so see where my good girl is. I wish you the best of luck on this journey Grace!
LOVED that bit of Psychobabble promo - great to see your experience Grace, I hope things have been alright!
i followed your enthusiasm, care, and communication - but fuzzed the content to be able to comment on. styling was so great too.
you put Taryn Southern on my radar - thank you so much / take care so much!
I’m so happy you’re back vlogging
I really appreciate you putting yourself out there like this, telling us your story as you experience it. I’m sure it’s demystifying cancer for a lot of people. Who may feel less overwhelmed seeking help for symptoms or supporting a loved one. Wish you all the love ✌️
Praying for all in this journey
Going through breast cancer stage 3 chemo myself seeing your volgs makes me feel normal, my emotions have been all over the place.
Thank you for sharing your journey picked up few tips ❤
It's so good to see you making this experience as positive as possible❤ We love you Grace
You truly are an amazing human! You're funny, delightful and beautiful. ☺️ Thank you for opening up your world to us during this difficult time.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Grace. You're not alone and neither are we- and it's kinda nice to know that. Please continue to take care!
Round 2 done and the way you're going through is still really impressive! And it's cool that you picked up "Notes on a Nervous Planet". I think you're gonna like it.
Your attitude this round is so fucking positive! You're doing so great! I'm glad to see you in good spirits. Keep it up Grace! You got this.
Thank you for sharing your experience Grace ❤
Just finished my 3rd round of chemo for ovarian cancer yesterday. Thank you for sharing your journey. 💙
Thank you for sharing what you can. You will get through this! 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It helps. 😊
I was diagnosed at 31 in 2019. I wish I had recorded more of what I did. A lot of my memories of that time are fuzzy and lost because it was just a LOT to process.
it's so much to process and also chemo brian is no joke. I'm forgetting so many things immediately after they happen 🫠
awww, Goosey snuggles, dogs are such good nurses. Hope the process is going well, hope Elliot's eye recovers good. Amazing to see the process of the therapies. THinking of you, Grace.
Grace, the perfect name for a woman who can make hard things seem easy! I am so inspired by your compassion towards yourself, your situation, and like you said, being so kind to others. What a strong woman!!!
Thank you for this vlog this was amazing your truly a great person and you got this
Fantastic. Amazing. Super woman. I love it so much that you are making videos on your chemo journey. I'm also going through a health journey in the past months trying to figure out how to cope with chronic fatigue and you are just so inspiring Grace. I've been following you for a decade now and I just wanna say thank you so much and I wish you all the best. 💖💖💖💖💖
hugs and kisses from denmark, started watching you since about 2012-13! kicks cancers butt!
love you Grace. been watching for years, met you on your book signing tour, and happy to see your positivity throughout this process. I can only imagine how you're feeling. Thank you for sharing.
You got this Grace! I know how incapacitated one can feel after a round of chemo and I’m sure you’re getting all the caregiving snd support from your loved ones right now. Your people can truly be the best medicine and I hope that we all can help be that for you in addition to your family!
I’m rooting for you SO HARD Grace!
I'm really glad I can help you get through a hard time. You've helped me so much for over a decade, even though you never knew. Love you!
Love the new kitchen! Been so curious since you mentioned it was being renovated!
Appreciate this openness with your process. A couple of friend went through lymphoma and blood cancer during covid, was not able to join them physically during the ride and every time they would tell me the stories of chemo sessions i would picture them not like this hahaah i always thought it was painful. They are both in remission, two years and one year respectively. You got this ❤
I just love you so much. Your positivity and humor is so comforting. I hope you know you’re a rockstar! You are going to kick this cancers ass
What a sweet, wonderful, inspiring and ✨ authentic ✨ vlog! Your positive attitude (even though I’m sure there are times where it’s different and that’s okay!!!) through all of this is amazing! You’ve got this, you’re kicking cancer’s butt so freaking hard ❤
Your energy is so contagious, thanks for being your delightful self
The day before I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, I underwent a sternotomy to have the mediastinal mass that was near my heart removed; since they didn’t know what it was for weeks. It has been such a rollercoaster and recently finished my second round of chemo. I truly appreciate you for sharing your journey! I don’t feel so alone during this process and hope for the best for you as well during chemo treatments ❤️you got this!
