There are some real troopers in these comments that have beat/ are in the process of beating cancer and you guys have my absolute support. A positive mindset is difficult, but it helped me tremendously. If you're still fighting: you've got this. There are also those who are paying tribute to the loved ones they might've lost to cancer, and I have a message for you guys specifically: When I was in the clinic with other kids 17 and younger who had cancer I met a lot of wonderful people. I met people the brightest minds and the most colorful personalities aged 5-17. Unfortunately, a number of the people I met never made it to 2024. They live on through their families, but I also try to honor them each day, even if in small ways. In my mind, if I put a little bit of them out in the world each day, in a way, they live on. When you're grieving, you'll find yourself focusing on the death of your loved ones. Focusing instead on their life and celebrating the person that made such a profound impact on you is the best way you can honor them.
I really appreciate this story man, I relate to this a lot I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma last year I’m 15 now and I really appreciate your story and the support you show to others your story is very inspiring and I really enjoyed listening to you talk. ( I also myself got a gaming PC)
this has opened my eyes, I've been in such an all time low since i lost both of my grandparents this year and my mother also has cancer but she's slowly getting better with each treatment but im no where near her(im in the military and is stationed overseas) its been nothing but stress and grieve for me and this means a lot, i cannot thank you enough for your story and everyone else who went or going through it
My mom was just diagnosed with cancer on November 11th. This video appeared randomly on my home page today and I just gotta say thank you for your perspective and for sharing your story. We haven't even really begun the process of getting her treated, but I know she's going to be okay. We're blessed to be able to get her all the treatment and medicine that she needs. I've been able to stay strong and give her my support and stay positive for her, but its nice to hear from someone who has really dealt with it and hear that they were able to take the good from the experience. I wish you the best with the rest of your college and the rest of your life. ❤
Makin me emotional man, can thank my mom for that lol. But, seriously I hope everything goes well man. I think about my mom and something like that happening to her and can't begin to imagine how it is. I know it all sounds Cliche and I apologize if it does. But I genuinely hope everything goes well man!
Been sick for months and not too long ago the doctors found something they may suspect to be cancer. Hearing your story gives me hope that things might just be ok. Came across this video randomly and I’m really happy I did. Thank you.
No matter what it is, I hope you get the help you need to overcome it. Your most powerful tool is a positive attitude. That’s what really made the difference for me. Stay strong dude.
Lord, willing you’re going to be fine. I truly hope you make it through this. My grandma had stage 3 breast cancer and beat it and I’m almost certain you’re younger and stronger. Don’t stop fighting my friend.
Does it really? Its hard, sure. But you dont need willpower to overcome it, it just happens and you live with it. I f-cked up my back and it didnt take me nothing to get through it, i just waited it out and didn't hang myself despite wanting to. All you have to do is basically not kill yourself and wait, then you either survive or you dont
Hearing someone say "I don't have cancer anymore" is just so nice and refreshing. Luckily, in my family there's nobody who has (or has had) a malignant tumour but just about a month ago, my dog (which I've had and loved for almost 10 years now)got diagnosed with cancer. So I immediately got her the surgery she needed about a week later and I thought that all went well. It really looked promising, because she didn't feel any pain and there were also no visible metastases. Well, I got the lab's results and apparently the surgeon wasn't able to remove all infected cells of the primary tumour (I only had him do one biopsy and he couldn't see this during surgery). This sucks because this means it will come back for sure, but on the other hand it might have been better this way. Because if he removed the rest, he would have had to remove a bunch more muscle tissue and I don't want my dog to be disabled in any way during her last hopefully months or year. If (or rather when) she will feel pain and it gets worse at the end, I'm just going to do some palliative care and get her IV or IM opioids until it's over. Until then, we're gonna enjoy the things she likes most: eat and play ball. We should probably all make the most of our lifes until we're dead.
Drunk/drug addicted uncle just got diagnosed with cancer. He got home and forgot what kind of cancer they said he has. He currently doesn't give a shit.
As someone who has had cancer twice this video made me feel like someone actually understands I’ve tried to explain these things to friends and family but they never seem to truly understand what it’s like thanks for dope ass 2010’s cod commentary glad to hear you’ve recovered
My mom is currently about to beat stage 4 ovarian cancer and I just need to say. Thank you uploading this, thank you for sharing your story. I’m happy you beat cancer.
Just saw this video and was really interested to see what other people went through. I myself got diagnosed with Leukemia in early 2022 and honestly had no emotion shown when they broke the news to me. Chemotherapy treatment was a really strange time for me and I went through a lot of things I wish I didn't have to go through. Felt great when I finally beat it in late 2023 and actually finished treatment this august. I loved hearing your story and how similar it was to mine and I hope I'm able to tell my story in the later future.
I got my bone cancer diagnosis when I was 17, I beat it in December last year and I'm 19 now. I can relate to a ton of things in this video and I kinda feel the same way you do about my diagnosis, I never would've met a ton of friends and wouldn't have been able to get into the university I'm in now without it probably. Although it was the 10 months of chemo was the worst time in my life when I look back at it the first thing I remember was the time I laughed so hard playing games with my friend just after surgery that it started to genuinely hurt. It also just made me apricate life more and the basic things that I couldn't have during that time. I loved this video, thanks!
@Not_a_Femboy._. I had a surgery which removed the cancerous bone and surrounding tissue and replaced it with a metal bone! It was my entire femur bone as well as my knee.
@@Wijim3Oof. I have metal inside me too for a bimalleolar ankle fracture with dislocation and syndesmosis tear and also four torn ligaments with significant displacement and bending. Have a plate along my fibula and i believe 7 screws, with one crossing between my tibia and fibula (the syndesmosis)
As someone who just beat stage 4 Hodgkin's last year, our experiences were very different, I knew I had it before the doctors did and I had to go through several misdiagnoses and wrong treatments before they figured it out. But hey we made it in the end. The silver lining I've felt is that I appreciate the little things in life a lot more now, my life goals and values kinda took a sharp turn because of the whole ordeal. Also all your future achievements will be slightly more impressive now in the eyes of friends and family as a young "cancer survivor" . Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for making this amazing video. I’m currently fighting S4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma and this hits real close. Cancer is a very terrible thing but has taught me not to take anything for granted despite the situation I’m in. Thank you for speaking about this and bringing awareness to the symptoms of this cancer. It affects mostly young people so please if you’re seeing this… make sure your health is good.
This is so crazy. You explaining your story is like watching my own life from 3rd person. Exactly same diagnosis, exactly the same shower hair situation, exactly the same weight loss moment as well. If It wasn't for cancer, I don't think I would ever touch TH-cam either... Funny how life works out. I really hope that TH-cam pops off for you, your storytelling is really good, keep it up! :)
This was quite possibly the most profound and reassuring video I have come across on a whim. As a fellow hypochondriac and someone who has a dealt with a few debilitating things themselves, it is very reassuring and a bit grounding to hear your perspective regarding everything you have been through. I would venture to say that this video has healed a part of me that I never thought would be possible.
I watch my mom go thru cancer around the same time as you. When u said “it’s a blessing in disguise” u are 100% right. I feel because of cancer my mom found what truly matters to her in life and has become happier as a result.
I'm watching this 11 days after it has been posted. I always feel so lucky to have never been afflicted with any significant medical conditions, but hearing about your story is so intriguing and eye-opening. I'm sure sharing your experiences has altered the perspectives of many and helped those who are experiencing the same troubles. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Your story is great man. No idea there was this much depth to it... always amazing to see the stories you're able to tell from your life and how grateful/humble you are all the time. God bless you after college! (PS Thanks for the shoutout 🙃15:14)
I’m currently struggling with leukemia and going through chemotherapy. Hearing another person’s perspective about cancer is really comforting and great video
I was diagnosed with testicular cancer at 16, and damn it was an eye opener. Hearing the diagnosis for the first time is something I believe all cancer survivors have ingrained in their heads, and sometimes it still pops up in my daydreams time to time. I found acceptance and understanding as my solution to the battle, and maintained a stoic attitude throughout the whole endeavor. One thing I would say to anyone reading this comment, if you are male, do not be afraid to reach out for help if you notice or feel anything out of the ordinary on or around the privates. Too many people are ashamed to speak up, and then it’s too late. Always do routine checks at least once a month, and search up a video on how to do so.
Same bro same, I too was diagnosed in 2019, now 5 years cancer free, it definitely taught me to not take my health for granted and it allowed me to have time to think and reflect on what I wanna do in life and what my goals are.
COD gameplay over twenty minute rants will always get you sitting down and contemplating after they're over. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey bro.
Could never imagine how it feels like being diagnosed with cancer, same with actually beating it. At first it's soul crushing, then once your doctor tells you it's over you just feel victory, and genuine joy like a permanent buff for the rest of your life.
Laughed my ass off when they actually came through with giving you the setup. I guess it’s because we never really hear what people realistically want from MakeAWish. Glad they honestly came through with that stuff.
When I was pretty young, about 8 years old, my mother was diagnosed with I believe stage 3 skin cancer (specifically melanoma) in January of 2020. For the next 2 years, not only did we have to deal with everybody but my dad getting covid, but also my mom's cancer. It was rough, because my mom was so weak and sometimes just wouldn't get out of bed. She would pass out while cooking in the kitchen, or even sometimes just not wake up until late afternoon (and I mean REALLY late). She ended up winning her battle against cancer in 2022, and made a full recovery. Sometimes I just think about how blessed I am to have as good health insurance as my family have. It was very refreshing to hear your story with cancer, so I just would like to say thank you.
Awesome video dude, i got Hodgkins lymphoma in 2019 as well Jan,19th MLK day. i had stage 2 and made a video talking about some of my experiences as well, super cool to hear yours. there aren't videos like ours to help comfort others that have it and are scared. Also cool to hear that you "beat" stage 4 i thought that was supposed to be a death sentence. Makes me less worried about if it comes back for me in the future. You should think about talking about some of the more personal things but be mature, appropriate and educational. Makes me wanna talk more about it now that i have a PC to record
yeah I was initially stage 3 but it turned into stage 4 which sounds really scary but the doctors explained it really well, it just means it's in more places of your body, there could be a super aggressive stage two that could be more concerning than a stage 4, especially with lymphoma it's in the blood and lymph nodes so the chemo already goes through your whole body so the treatments are more less the same.
The difference between stage 1-4 is not that big. Basically survival is slightly better at stage 1-2 (90-95%), while stage 3-4 are both basically exactly 85%. As was explained to me when I got it is that the spreading is kind of "to be expected" as your lymph nodes naturally exist everywhere in your body, and I believe since its a very specific "type" of cell that is cancerous it typically spreads to the same organs and can be cured with the same treatment options
My brother was suddenly diagnosed with cancer a few years back and sadly passed. Hearing you talk about your day to day experience of treatment reminds me of him and in a way makes me feel like I’m spending time with him. He always practiced gratitude. It’s nice that through your struggle you were able to find gratitude in the life and blessings you have now
Don't feel guilty that you 'benefited' from having cancer. It's not undeserved. You went through hell and survived, and deserved a second chance and a head start. My story's not the same as yours but I've recently come into money for similar reasons, after years of having nothing. You held out, you suffered, and it's okay to feel like you deserve something for that. I'm happy for you, bro
Almost the same exact thing happen to me in the summer 2019 before my senior year of highschool. Had to do my entire senior year online and couldn’t do sports anymore and lost my college offers. But got in remission in 2020 and graduated. After all this my view on life changed and am grateful for it.
hearing that you went through that and still stayed positive, and that you fully recovered is actually really inspiring and helpful. keep the work up with the channel g
Im currently stressing over a small mole on my back and i am waiting for a dermatology appointment in early December so im just sitting here freaking out. I really didnt want to see this on my recommended when i got up this morning... Glad it all worked out for you man.
awesome video man. reminds me of what i used to watch growing up. ive never had cancer myself, but i have had a fair few close people in my life get cancer and express that in a way it was a good thing for them. last summer one of my uncles was given 3 months with pancreatic, and shortly before he passed in January (a little over 6 months from his late-stage diagnosis), he had been telling us how happy he was that he was finally able to say the things he'd left unsaid for many years (as a sweet but definitely of-his-time older guy who was reserved and didn't wear his feelings on his sleeve), "even if it had to be cancer to kick [him] in the ass and get [him] going". there's a bit more to it, but i think it's the first time i truly understood why these people had expressed joy after getting cancer. im glad i got reccommended this. i dont know you, and you dont know me, but im glad you are here to share your experiences :)
I'm only half way through the video, but I'm so unbelievably proud of you for going through all this, it's such a difficult thing to talk about and especially go through Sending so much love to you
this video was beautiful homie. from your story, and experiences dealing with cancer, to the BO2 gameplay and just hearing how grateful you are to be in the position you are in now. cant wait to see what you do going forward. 🖤
Grandpa recently got diagnosed with cancer and currently going through treatment. Hes doing a lot better which is good. Im glad you made it through everything and have the mindfulness and perspective to see it as a good thing even. I'm super impressed you managed to push through college as well with all this going on. You're a trooper man
Thank you for this, I have a larger risk for cancer because of my Condition but this video helped me understand that getting that diagnosis can be a second chance at life, please create more.
I also got diagnosed with cancer in October and also had a fever and got admitted around Christmas, mine was the day after tho. I got diagnosed 5 days before i turned 16.
You got diagnosed a few weeks after my mom passed from pancreatic cancer. This hit hard. Glad you made it out okay man, rock on. Subbed to ya keep on keepin’ on
Thank you for this video. I found it quite ironic how you talked about rushing straight to google researching about little change you noticed and managed to convince yourself of the worse. Ive been doing the excact same recently and in 1 year have been going to the doctors more than i have in my entire life. Thank you for this your story was comforting and i hope you are doing well.
you for sure made an impact on me with this one. thank you for sharing your story. YOU'RE A WARRIOR. hope to see more content from you in the future. God bless!
This was a really good video, man. I remember when I got diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma back when I was 18. My mind immediately went to the wrong places and I thought that I was gonna die for sure lmao. I spent about a month in the hospital and I got to leave after I was "healthy" enough and able to walk again. Spent about two weeks at my aunt's crib, had some friends visit to check up on me, then towards the end of that second week, my ass collapsed when I got up to go use the bathroom 😂 ended up staying another month at the hospital and it was worse the second time around. Blood transfusions, ALMOST had to get a catheter in my wang, had to get a tube shoved down my nose and into stomach, etc. Shit was crazy
Hey I just wanted you to know, this video meant a lot man. My mom currently is experiencing symptoms of breast cancer and she’s going to check it out in a few days and I’ve been terrified since I found out. Knowing that you got throw it in such a positive light really made me feel better and hopeful for my mom. Thank you
I stumbled upon this video by complete chance, but I’m soo glad I found it. This story was soo impactful. I know you don’t know me from a can of paint, but I want you to know that this story genuinely touched me. That’s ALOT for a young person to go through. I want to let you know that I’m proud of you and am thankful that you beat this. God Bless 🙌🏿🙌🏿
This video actually inspired me to keep going. I'm suffering through some stuff rn which I won't get into but hearing your story about beating cancer motivates me and gives me hope that I can get out of my own current shithole. Great video man.
Wow, just listened to your whole story. It is amazing how open you are about what you went through. Everyone has to deal with cancer at some point in their lives, whether that be through their friends or family, or in your case, your own life. It was refreshing to hear about it from just a normal dude cod player the same age as me rather than some distant relative or some unknown celebrity. I wish you the very best of health and luck going forward, much love from Scotland.
Got me watching this at 3am on a school night. I'm glad you shared your story, you are very inspiring and you have pushed me to enjoy the gift of life we've all been blessed to continue having. Thank you so much
As a 37 year old man I gotta say i sat here and listen to you speak. 6 months ago I lost my father to stage 4 lung cancer. I always enjoy hearing people talk about how they beat cancer and how it impacted their life for the good and the bad. I just wish i could of asked my dad how it has changed his life. Keep walking in that positive direction of life my friend. Thanks for sharing!
Isn't it kind of crazy we don't have a make a wish for adults. I mean a twenty year old hasn't lived that long. I digress. You took me back dude to 2012 with this type of commentary. I'm glad you made it through and life has been going good for you man. Lastly, I understand the fear of "Oh, Lord it's my time. The google told me I have twelve minutes to live"! Anxiety is a bitch and it's hard not to get yourself worked up on things lol.
im just happy you beat Cancer...my Nana had breast cancer and i was scared of losing her...she beat cancer and it motivates me to appreciate things in life more...seeing people beat cancer helps motivate me that you can fight the hardest challenges...im proud of you
I relate to this video in so many ways, apart from name, age, way of talking and wanting to impact people, i had my own experience with health related trauma and while i cant believe i felt like that back then it made me realize how great life is, every single day feels like a blessing, everything is just so good all of a sudden, anyway. Thanks for the video and i wish you the best, keep chasing your dreams.
This video reminded me how blind I've been to my situation. I've been really negative for the past year and have been struggling but this video reminded me not to take every moment for granted. Your story is extremely inspiring and you should push it out to the public more. A lot of people need to hear this and I'm grateful I came across it. God bless you.
dont know who you are or how i stumbled upon you but im happy your hear man. lost a family member to a terminal cancer back a year or two back and felt your story close to mine! thank you for sharing.
It’s crazy how eerily similar your story is to mine. I was diagnosed in may of 2017 with leukemia. I had been sick for quite a while before that and most of my teachers had also noticed that I looked pale and extremely tired all the time. A couple of times I ended up falling asleep in class, which was not normal for me. This led me to eventually getting bloodwork done to see what was going on. Eventually the bloodwork came back and I went into the oncologist the next day where they told me that I had ALL. Just like you I was in and out of the hospital over and over again. I missed a lot of important events because of cancer and I lost out on a lot of time. And to make things worse, make a wish never gave me anything even though I was still in school when I was diagnosed. When I saw this video pop up I knew it was something I had to watch because for a while now, I’ve felt the same way. While I still wish I never had gotten cancer, it has opened up a different perspective on life for me. Getting diagnosed with cancer was a blessing and a curse for me. On one hand, it was a curse because during my treatment, I ended up getting an infection in my blood stream that almost killed me. That infection ate away at my muscles and cartilage in my hip joints and I had to learn how to walk all over again. And cancer definitely has had its emotional toll on me too. Every time I’m sick I always fear the worst now and I have PTSD from all the times I was in and out of the hospital. But even after all that, I still sit here and think about how lucky I am. I feel like saying I’m happy I got cancer is a bit ignorant, especially considering I have lost a lot of good people that I’ve met to cancer, but it truly has changed my life for the better. I was fortunate enough to go into remission only a month after I was diagnosed. Getting cancer helped make me into a better person. I’m way more away of the people around me and I feel like now I have a responsibility to help out others who are also battling cancer the same way I did. That’s why I’m choosing to become a pediatric cancer therapist. Without cancer, I wouldn’t be on the path I’m on now, so for that reason, I too am happy I got cancer
I don't know why but this low quality (please genuinely no offence) kind of mic gives me nostalgia. I feel like we're in a party chat and I'm listening to your life. Thank you for talking about your story man.
This video made a impact on my day brotha! I don't wanna try to convert you into anything or preach to you. All I gotta say is I love you and Jesus loves you more!
If this guy wouldn't have survived cancer, I wouldn't have clicked on this video because he wouldn't have made it. Congrats man, stay safe and live life till it's too late..
this just made me think of my grandfather who died from lung cancer. I never really got to say goodbye to him and tell him my real feelings. he was an amazing person and i will never be able to make up for that. im crying
this is so crazy that this is my life right now im 16 w rhabdomyosarcoma and almost everything you talked about i had the same thing you are an inspiration bro❤
I love this laid back style of content, I'm so happy that you made it through this so you could inspire all of us to look at life through a different angle.
this video was great. as a current chronic googler who also always things I’m dealing with some horrible disease, it was uplifting to hear your journey of how you also had that tendency, overcame it, and beat a disease to boot. i hope things keep going well for you, and thanks for the BO2 commentary
As a childhood cancer survivor myself I faced the same problem. I had too much faith in doctors and thought that they just knew everything however you need to see a specialist.
Damn man, hearing this story was pretty eye opening for me a good amount. It wasn't the same thing as far as cancer, but my nana back in 2020 December passed from COVID amongst tons of other illnesses as well. Life has never been the same since then, I try all the time to replicate feelings that I had when I was a kid and my depression and anxiety has gotten way worse since then, causing me to think about things I hate or don't want to think about cause I know they aren't true what so ever cause I know who I am as a person. But, hearing this made me happier in a sense, got a lil emotional reminiscing about everything. But, just for me at least, the fact that I have to move on from the past and be the person who I am now is scary to me but I have to. I'm 19 now, with my girlfriend who makes me happy, but it's so hard for my brain to let go of those things that happened in the past that I severely regret. Especially when my girlfriend in the past before we were together told me that her doctors already told her that she has a high chance of developing cancer and it'll be aggressive since her family history carries that. Meaning she has a chance to die before 30 which terrifies me and I always try to deflect it when she makes a joke about it. I don't mean to make it about myself and seem selfish, I apologize if it comes off that way. But, happy you were able to persevere through those rough times and end up where you are now. Hearing where you are now in your life and what you've accomplished gave me confidence to do the same. (kinda). Gonna subscribe alone from this video. Happy you're here man, world wouldn't be the same without you. Keep kickin ass brotha.
There are some real troopers in these comments that have beat/ are in the process of beating cancer and you guys have my absolute support. A positive mindset is difficult, but it helped me tremendously. If you're still fighting: you've got this.
There are also those who are paying tribute to the loved ones they might've lost to cancer, and I have a message for you guys specifically:
When I was in the clinic with other kids 17 and younger who had cancer I met a lot of wonderful people. I met people the brightest minds and the most colorful personalities aged 5-17.

Hearing someone say "I don't have cancer anymore" is just so nice and refreshing. Luckily, in my family there's nobody who has (or has had) a malignant tumour but just about a month ago, my dog (which I've had and loved for almost 10 years now)got diagnosed with cancer. So I immediately got her the surgery she needed about a week later and I thought that all went well. It really looked promising, because she didn't feel any pain and there were also no visible metastases.
Well, I got the lab's results and apparently the surgeon wasn't able to remove all infected cells of the primary tumour (I only had him do one biopsy and he couldn't see this during surgery). This sucks because this means it will come back for sure, but on the other hand it might have been better this way. Because if he removed the rest, he would have had to remove a bunch more muscle tissue and I don't want my dog to be disabled in any way during her last hopefully months or year. If (or rather when) she will feel pain and it gets worse at the end, I'm just going to do some palliative care and get her IV or IM opioids until it's over.
Until then, we're gonna enjoy the things she likes most: eat and play ball. We should probably all make the most of our lifes until we're dead.
i read that literally as soon as he said he doesn’t have cancer anymore and man that felt different
Correct me if im wrong but i thought at stage 4 its not possible enter remission?
@moonlight-qr6px the guy who made this video did I think
@moonlight-qr6px It is possible just not as likely as earlier stages. Also depends on the type of cancer, some are more aggressive than others.
Drunk/drug addicted uncle just got diagnosed with cancer. He got home and forgot what kind of cancer they said he has. He currently doesn't give a shit.
damn bro that sucks
i mean shit maybe he's not wrong then
I know I shouldn’t laugh but your uncle seems like my kinda buddy lol (I have cancer too)
Some people just don’t care
what a badass
As someone who has had cancer twice this video made me feel like someone actually understands I’ve tried to explain these things to friends and family but they never seem to truly understand what it’s like thanks for dope ass 2010’s cod commentary glad to hear you’ve recovered
glad you recovered too, I hope your living the best rn 🙏
Congratulations on beating it twice! Although your phrasing is quite amusing. It sounds like you got cancer twice WHILE watching the video lol
My mom is currently about to beat stage 4 ovarian cancer and I just need to say. Thank you uploading this, thank you for sharing your story. I’m happy you beat cancer.
Good luck for your mother
@ thank you brother. I wish your family love and prosperity ❤️
My mum just beat her ovarian cancer good luck to your mom 💪
Hope she gets better soon
Just saw this video and was really interested to see what other people went through. I myself got diagnosed with Leukemia in early 2022 and honestly had no emotion shown when they broke the news to me. Chemotherapy treatment was a really strange time for me and I went through a lot of things I wish I didn't have to go through. Felt great when I finally beat it in late 2023 and actually finished treatment this august. I loved hearing your story and how similar it was to mine and I hope I'm able to tell my story in the later future.
God bless you
Hope you stay healthy forever man.
I got my bone cancer diagnosis when I was 17, I beat it in December last year and I'm 19 now. I can relate to a ton of things in this video and I kinda feel the same way you do about my diagnosis, I never would've met a ton of friends and wouldn't have been able to get into the university I'm in now without it probably. Although it was the 10 months of chemo was the worst time in my life when I look back at it the first thing I remember was the time I laughed so hard playing games with my friend just after surgery that it started to genuinely hurt. It also just made me apricate life more and the basic things that I couldn't have during that time. I loved this video, thanks!
How did you get treated? I thought bone cancer was always terminal unless you amputate.
@Not_a_Femboy._. I had a surgery which removed the cancerous bone and surrounding tissue and replaced it with a metal bone! It was my entire femur bone as well as my knee.
@@Wijim3 damnn that's gnarly bro glad ur good now
@@Wijim3not to sound ignorant but thats pretty cool, like when a villain in a futuristic video game has all these robot parts
@@Wijim3Oof. I have metal inside me too for a bimalleolar ankle fracture with dislocation and syndesmosis tear and also four torn ligaments with significant displacement and bending.
Have a plate along my fibula and i believe 7 screws, with one crossing between my tibia and fibula (the syndesmosis)
As someone who just beat stage 4 Hodgkin's last year, our experiences were very different, I knew I had it before the doctors did and I had to go through several misdiagnoses and wrong treatments before they figured it out. But hey we made it in the end. The silver lining I've felt is that I appreciate the little things in life a lot more now, my life goals and values kinda took a sharp turn because of the whole ordeal. Also all your future achievements will be slightly more impressive now in the eyes of friends and family as a young "cancer survivor" . Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for making this amazing video. I’m currently fighting S4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma and this hits real close. Cancer is a very terrible thing but has taught me not to take anything for granted despite the situation I’m in. Thank you for speaking about this and bringing awareness to the symptoms of this cancer. It affects mostly young people so please if you’re seeing this… make sure your health is good.
Hey man, hopes and prayers. Wish you all the best 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@ thank you brother. Your words are much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keep fighting brother good luck to you
@ thank you man I appreciate it 🙏🏻
good old bo2 gameplay, brings me back to the good times
Facts, this map Overflow looks much better than I thought when I played the game but anyway the new maps haven't been great since bo2 imo
ultra based pfp and name
This is so crazy. You explaining your story is like watching my own life from 3rd person. Exactly same diagnosis, exactly the same shower hair situation, exactly the same weight loss moment as well. If It wasn't for cancer, I don't think I would ever touch TH-cam either... Funny how life works out.
I really hope that TH-cam pops off for you, your storytelling is really good, keep it up! :)
As someone who’s always stressed about my health, constantly going to clinic for the smallest thing, I feel like I needed to see this.
This was quite possibly the most profound and reassuring video I have come across on a whim. As a fellow hypochondriac and someone who has a dealt with a few debilitating things themselves, it is very reassuring and a bit grounding to hear your perspective regarding everything you have been through. I would venture to say that this video has healed a part of me that I never thought would be possible.
Feel that 100%
I watch my mom go thru cancer around the same time as you. When u said “it’s a blessing in disguise” u are 100% right. I feel because of cancer my mom found what truly matters to her in life and has become happier as a result.
I'm watching this 11 days after it has been posted. I always feel so lucky to have never been afflicted with any significant medical conditions, but hearing about your story is so intriguing and eye-opening. I'm sure sharing your experiences has altered the perspectives of many and helped those who are experiencing the same troubles. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Your story is great man. No idea there was this much depth to it... always amazing to see the stories you're able to tell from your life and how grateful/humble you are all the time. God bless you after college!
(PS Thanks for the shoutout 🙃15:14)
I’m currently struggling with leukemia and going through chemotherapy. Hearing another person’s perspective about cancer is really comforting and great video
You got this.
Hoping for you man, you can do this.
I was diagnosed with testicular cancer at 16, and damn it was an eye opener. Hearing the diagnosis for the first time is something I believe all cancer survivors have ingrained in their heads, and sometimes it still pops up in my daydreams time to time. I found acceptance and understanding as my solution to the battle, and maintained a stoic attitude throughout the whole endeavor. One thing I would say to anyone reading this comment, if you are male, do not be afraid to reach out for help if you notice or feel anything out of the ordinary on or around the privates. Too many people are ashamed to speak up, and then it’s too late. Always do routine checks at least once a month, and search up a video on how to do so.
Same bro same, I too was diagnosed in 2019, now 5 years cancer free, it definitely taught me to not take my health for granted and it allowed me to have time to think and reflect on what I wanna do in life and what my goals are.
COD gameplay over twenty minute rants will always get you sitting down and contemplating after they're over. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey bro.
you're a great storyteller. you have me looking forward to more of your content, whatever that might be!
14:30 i'm glad you BEAT cancer so you could start this channel. I love this style of content ❤
Helping me come down from a panic attack. Feels like I’m just listening to one of my friends. Thank you.
Could never imagine how it feels like being diagnosed with cancer, same with actually beating it. At first it's soul crushing, then once your doctor tells you it's over you just feel victory, and genuine joy like a permanent buff for the rest of your life.
Laughed my ass off when they actually came through with giving you the setup. I guess it’s because we never really hear what people realistically want from MakeAWish. Glad they honestly came through with that stuff.
Niko oneshot
There is a fine line between over-worrying about your health and being the guy with a purple toe it says "Ah, she'll be right"
It’s very humbling experience to be able to reflect and really extract the positive from the negative. Thanks for sharing and keep up the work 💪
When I was pretty young, about 8 years old, my mother was diagnosed with I believe stage 3 skin cancer (specifically melanoma) in January of 2020. For the next 2 years, not only did we have to deal with everybody but my dad getting covid, but also my mom's cancer. It was rough, because my mom was so weak and sometimes just wouldn't get out of bed. She would pass out while cooking in the kitchen, or even sometimes just not wake up until late afternoon (and I mean REALLY late). She ended up winning her battle against cancer in 2022, and made a full recovery. Sometimes I just think about how blessed I am to have as good health insurance as my family have. It was very refreshing to hear your story with cancer, so I just would like to say thank you.
Awesome video dude, i got Hodgkins lymphoma in 2019 as well Jan,19th MLK day. i had stage 2 and made a video talking about some of my experiences as well, super cool to hear yours. there aren't videos like ours to help comfort others that have it and are scared. Also cool to hear that you "beat" stage 4 i thought that was supposed to be a death sentence. Makes me less worried about if it comes back for me in the future. You should think about talking about some of the more personal things but be mature, appropriate and educational. Makes me wanna talk more about it now that i have a PC to record
Do it, I’ll watch and ima sub to youcrn
You rn*
yeah I was initially stage 3 but it turned into stage 4 which sounds really scary but the doctors explained it really well, it just means it's in more places of your body, there could be a super aggressive stage two that could be more concerning than a stage 4, especially with lymphoma it's in the blood and lymph nodes so the chemo already goes through your whole body so the treatments are more less the same.
The difference between stage 1-4 is not that big. Basically survival is slightly better at stage 1-2 (90-95%), while stage 3-4 are both basically exactly 85%. As was explained to me when I got it is that the spreading is kind of "to be expected" as your lymph nodes naturally exist everywhere in your body, and I believe since its a very specific "type" of cell that is cancerous it typically spreads to the same organs and can be cured with the same treatment options
My brother was suddenly diagnosed with cancer a few years back and sadly passed. Hearing you talk about your day to day experience of treatment reminds me of him and in a way makes me feel like I’m spending time with him. He always practiced gratitude. It’s nice that through your struggle you were able to find gratitude in the life and blessings you have now
Don't feel guilty that you 'benefited' from having cancer. It's not undeserved. You went through hell and survived, and deserved a second chance and a head start. My story's not the same as yours but I've recently come into money for similar reasons, after years of having nothing. You held out, you suffered, and it's okay to feel like you deserve something for that. I'm happy for you, bro
Almost the same exact thing happen to me in the summer 2019 before my senior year of highschool. Had to do my entire senior year online and couldn’t do sports anymore and lost my college offers. But got in remission in 2020 and graduated. After all this my view on life changed and am grateful for it.
hearing that you went through that and still stayed positive, and that you fully recovered is actually really inspiring and helpful. keep the work up with the channel g
Im currently stressing over a small mole on my back and i am waiting for a dermatology appointment in early December so im just sitting here freaking out. I really didnt want to see this on my recommended when i got up this morning... Glad it all worked out for you man.
If it helps, you’re fine. No cancer
awesome video man. reminds me of what i used to watch growing up. ive never had cancer myself, but i have had a fair few close people in my life get cancer and express that in a way it was a good thing for them. last summer one of my uncles was given 3 months with pancreatic, and shortly before he passed in January (a little over 6 months from his late-stage diagnosis), he had been telling us how happy he was that he was finally able to say the things he'd left unsaid for many years (as a sweet but definitely of-his-time older guy who was reserved and didn't wear his feelings on his sleeve), "even if it had to be cancer to kick [him] in the ass and get [him] going". there's a bit more to it, but i think it's the first time i truly understood why these people had expressed joy after getting cancer. im glad i got reccommended this. i dont know you, and you dont know me, but im glad you are here to share your experiences :)
I'm only half way through the video, but I'm so unbelievably proud of you for going through all this, it's such a difficult thing to talk about and especially go through
Sending so much love to you
This was unexpectedly profound. Got me sitting here pondering at 10 am
damn this video is really eye opening. lads don't take being healthy for granted. we're all mortals and therefore vulnerable. do what you can
as someone who also had stage 4 H lymphoma this really resonated with me, stay safe and i hope everything is okay
this video was beautiful homie. from your story, and experiences dealing with cancer, to the BO2 gameplay and just hearing how grateful you are to be in the position you are in now. cant wait to see what you do going forward. 🖤
Grandpa recently got diagnosed with cancer and currently going through treatment. Hes doing a lot better which is good. Im glad you made it through everything and have the mindfulness and perspective to see it as a good thing even. I'm super impressed you managed to push through college as well with all this going on. You're a trooper man
Awesome! I was feeling gloomy all day but I’m going to start to make music now, this lifted me up!
Thank you for this, I have a larger risk for cancer because of my Condition but this video helped me understand that getting that diagnosis can be a second chance at life, please create more.
I also got diagnosed with cancer in October and also had a fever and got admitted around Christmas, mine was the day after tho. I got diagnosed 5 days before i turned 16.
You got diagnosed a few weeks after my mom passed from pancreatic cancer. This hit hard. Glad you made it out okay man, rock on. Subbed to ya keep on keepin’ on
Thank you for this video. I found it quite ironic how you talked about rushing straight to google researching about little change you noticed and managed to convince yourself of the worse. Ive been doing the excact same recently and in 1 year have been going to the doctors more than i have in my entire life. Thank you for this your story was comforting and i hope you are doing well.
you for sure made an impact on me with this one. thank you for sharing your story. YOU'RE A WARRIOR. hope to see more content from you in the future. God bless!
I felt like I was watching the weeky slap, love these vibes. OG cod and authenticity
i could never handle shit like this yall are strong af ❤
This was a really good video, man. I remember when I got diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma back when I was 18. My mind immediately went to the wrong places and I thought that I was gonna die for sure lmao. I spent about a month in the hospital and I got to leave after I was "healthy" enough and able to walk again. Spent about two weeks at my aunt's crib, had some friends visit to check up on me, then towards the end of that second week, my ass collapsed when I got up to go use the bathroom 😂 ended up staying another month at the hospital and it was worse the second time around. Blood transfusions, ALMOST had to get a catheter in my wang, had to get a tube shoved down my nose and into stomach, etc. Shit was crazy
Non-Hodgkins is no joke. The fact that you’re here is miracle dude
Hey I just wanted you to know, this video meant a lot man. My mom currently is experiencing symptoms of breast cancer and she’s going to check it out in a few days and I’ve been terrified since I found out. Knowing that you got throw it in such a positive light really made me feel better and hopeful for my mom. Thank you
I stumbled upon this video by complete chance, but I’m soo glad I found it. This story was soo impactful. I know you don’t know me from a can of paint, but I want you to know that this story genuinely touched me. That’s ALOT for a young person to go through. I want to let you know that I’m proud of you and am thankful that you beat this. God Bless 🙌🏿🙌🏿
This video actually inspired me to keep going. I'm suffering through some stuff rn which I won't get into but hearing your story about beating cancer motivates me and gives me hope that I can get out of my own current shithole. Great video man.
I'm happy you survived cancer I will subscribe and watch more of your journey.
Wow, just listened to your whole story. It is amazing how open you are about what you went through. Everyone has to deal with cancer at some point in their lives, whether that be through their friends or family, or in your case, your own life. It was refreshing to hear about it from just a normal dude cod player the same age as me rather than some distant relative or some unknown celebrity. I wish you the very best of health and luck going forward, much love from Scotland.
this shit made me cry proud of you for making this youtube channel and talking about ur story
Got me watching this at 3am on a school night. I'm glad you shared your story, you are very inspiring and you have pushed me to enjoy the gift of life we've all been blessed to continue having. Thank you so much
you are a strong minded man Julian, Love from the UK
As a 37 year old man I gotta say i sat here and listen to you speak. 6 months ago I lost my father to stage 4 lung cancer. I always enjoy hearing people talk about how they beat cancer and how it impacted their life for the good and the bad. I just wish i could of asked my dad how it has changed his life. Keep walking in that positive direction of life my friend. Thanks for sharing!
Badass for going thru that shit especially on Christmas Eve and kept pushin thru, good for you bro
"in a lot of ways i really shouldnt be here" hit hard, proud and happy for you man!
Massive congratulations for beating cancer, man. This video will sit with me for a while, I'll need to chew on it. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Isn't it kind of crazy we don't have a make a wish for adults. I mean a twenty year old hasn't lived that long. I digress. You took me back dude to 2012 with this type of commentary. I'm glad you made it through and life has been going good for you man. Lastly, I understand the fear of "Oh, Lord it's my time. The google told me I have twelve minutes to live"! Anxiety is a bitch and it's hard not to get yourself worked up on things lol.
Love the vids brother, nice listening to you. All the best from 🇳🇱
im just happy you beat Cancer...my Nana had breast cancer and i was scared of losing her...she beat cancer and it motivates me to appreciate things in life more...seeing people beat cancer helps motivate me that you can fight the hardest challenges...im proud of you
sitting listening to this like it’s a podcast driving in the car rn. bringing back old youtube
I relate to this video in so many ways, apart from name, age, way of talking and wanting to impact people, i had my own experience with health related trauma and while i cant believe i felt like that back then it made me realize how great life is, every single day feels like a blessing, everything is just so good all of a sudden, anyway. Thanks for the video and i wish you the best, keep chasing your dreams.
Wonderful video, it’s nice to see something so heartfelt. Will be sticking around, wishing you all the success in the world
Glad you made it through that bruv. My mother passed away from cancer. It was horrible to watch her deteriorate.
What a crazy video man. Loved the BO2 gameplay in the background.
I obviously don't know you, but I'm glad you're here with us (;
Those are some real blessings from God bro. Keep up the good work man!
Thank god you beat cancer. Hope you live an amazing life. I lost too many people to cancer.
I’m a grown man and you actually made me cry. So happy you beat the cancer and are now able to chase your dreams. ❤
i love you bro, i would be so scared. stay strong
This video reminded me how blind I've been to my situation. I've been really negative for the past year and have been struggling but this video reminded me not to take every moment for granted. Your story is extremely inspiring and you should push it out to the public more. A lot of people need to hear this and I'm grateful I came across it. God bless you.
dont know who you are or how i stumbled upon you but im happy your hear man. lost a family member to a terminal cancer back a year or two back and felt your story close to mine! thank you for sharing.
Man these videos hit different, glad you beat cancer man
It’s crazy how eerily similar your story is to mine. I was diagnosed in may of 2017 with leukemia. I had been sick for quite a while before that and most of my teachers had also noticed that I looked pale and extremely tired all the time. A couple of times I ended up falling asleep in class, which was not normal for me. This led me to eventually getting bloodwork done to see what was going on. Eventually the bloodwork came back and I went into the oncologist the next day where they told me that I had ALL. Just like you I was in and out of the hospital over and over again. I missed a lot of important events because of cancer and I lost out on a lot of time. And to make things worse, make a wish never gave me anything even though I was still in school when I was diagnosed. When I saw this video pop up I knew it was something I had to watch because for a while now, I’ve felt the same way. While I still wish I never had gotten cancer, it has opened up a different perspective on life for me. Getting diagnosed with cancer was a blessing and a curse for me. On one hand, it was a curse because during my treatment, I ended up getting an infection in my blood stream that almost killed me. That infection ate away at my muscles and cartilage in my hip joints and I had to learn how to walk all over again. And cancer definitely has had its emotional toll on me too. Every time I’m sick I always fear the worst now and I have PTSD from all the times I was in and out of the hospital. But even after all that, I still sit here and think about how lucky I am. I feel like saying I’m happy I got cancer is a bit ignorant, especially considering I have lost a lot of good people that I’ve met to cancer, but it truly has changed my life for the better. I was fortunate enough to go into remission only a month after I was diagnosed. Getting cancer helped make me into a better person. I’m way more away of the people around me and I feel like now I have a responsibility to help out others who are also battling cancer the same way I did. That’s why I’m choosing to become a pediatric cancer therapist. Without cancer, I wouldn’t be on the path I’m on now, so for that reason, I too am happy I got cancer
Asking for a setup is honestly 1,000 IQ, the fact that cancer set this mans whole life up is kinda crazy
As someone who has beaten cancer I appreciate you sharing your story. I hope things continue to get better and your community grows to new heights.
I don't know why but this low quality (please genuinely no offence) kind of mic gives me nostalgia. I feel like we're in a party chat and I'm listening to your life. Thank you for talking about your story man.
This video made a impact on my day brotha! I don't wanna try to convert you into anything or preach to you. All I gotta say is I love you and Jesus loves you more!
If this guy wouldn't have survived cancer, I wouldn't have clicked on this video because he wouldn't have made it. Congrats man, stay safe and live life till it's too late..
this just made me think of my grandfather who died from lung cancer. I never really got to say goodbye to him and tell him my real feelings. he was an amazing person and i will never be able to make up for that. im crying
Black ops 2 distracted me from the fact this is a recent story. Glad you made it through brotha, Wish you the best.
this is so crazy that this is my life right now im 16 w rhabdomyosarcoma and almost everything you talked about i had the same thing you are an inspiration bro❤
"We are shaped by our past, not defined." Happy you're here man, looking forward to seeing the future of this channel.
I love this laid back style of content, I'm so happy that you made it through this so you could inspire all of us to look at life through a different angle.
1:16 I had no idea that spot existed dang
this video was great. as a current chronic googler who also always things I’m dealing with some horrible disease, it was uplifting to hear your journey of how you also had that tendency, overcame it, and beat a disease to boot. i hope things keep going well for you, and thanks for the BO2 commentary
@2:29 this always makes me sad. I really wish healthcare was a basic right in the US.
As a childhood cancer survivor myself I faced the same problem. I had too much faith in doctors and thought that they just knew everything however you need to see a specialist.
You should be here man. Sending prayers your way brother ❤
The title is wild. But I love your videos
Damn man, hearing this story was pretty eye opening for me a good amount. It wasn't the same thing as far as cancer, but my nana back in 2020 December passed from COVID amongst tons of other illnesses as well. Life has never been the same since then, I try all the time to replicate feelings that I had when I was a kid and my depression and anxiety has gotten way worse since then, causing me to think about things I hate or don't want to think about cause I know they aren't true what so ever cause I know who I am as a person. But, hearing this made me happier in a sense, got a lil emotional reminiscing about everything. But, just for me at least, the fact that I have to move on from the past and be the person who I am now is scary to me but I have to. I'm 19 now, with my girlfriend who makes me happy, but it's so hard for my brain to let go of those things that happened in the past that I severely regret. Especially when my girlfriend in the past before we were together told me that her doctors already told her that she has a high chance of developing cancer and it'll be aggressive since her family history carries that. Meaning she has a chance to die before 30 which terrifies me and I always try to deflect it when she makes a joke about it. I don't mean to make it about myself and seem selfish, I apologize if it comes off that way. But, happy you were able to persevere through those rough times and end up where you are now. Hearing where you are now in your life and what you've accomplished gave me confidence to do the same. (kinda). Gonna subscribe alone from this video. Happy you're here man, world wouldn't be the same without you. Keep kickin ass brotha.
