Hi. I'm Jay Seals, nice to meet ya.
This is just a simple vlog that will primarily discuss my experiences/insights gleaned from my fight with stomach cancer. Other topics will be discussed as well (because, really, who wants to talk about cancer ALL of the time?), but this is mostly just to leave... something behind. I may get it right. I may get it wrong. But I will always be honest.
Edit: It is with great sadness I regret to inform everyone that Jay Seals passed October 31, 2018
Thank you all for your support and understanding.

Reserved Memories: Cooking my "world famous" spaghetti
With the help of my lovely and beautiful step-daughter, Kathrine, this video covers how to cook my "world famous" spaghetti dinner. I thought I would need to edit/fast-forward some parts of this, but everything went fairly fast and smooth, so you'll get the full 24-minute video.
Note: I didn't mention what kind of sauce we used, although it was clearly visible. I ALWAYS use Ragu spaghetti sauce, the kind that "flavored with meat."

Burn Pits Music Video

This song was written to bring awareness about the dangers of burn pits to our Soldiers and veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many different types of illnesses ranging from cancer to serious respiratory conditions have been linked to the use of burn pits, causing our honored veterans to suffer and often die, yet the VA and United States government continue to refuse to acknowledge th...

While coming home from dinner with my wife and mother-in-law, we were waiting at an intersection to turn left. When the light turned green for us, we started the turn but apparently the driver in the opposite direction (whose light was red and he was NOT in the turn lane) decided it was time for him to go straight forward. He very nearly got himself into a head-on collision with yours truly. If...

Specialist Jay Seals (me) has stage 4 terminal stomach cancer which developed during service in the US Army. This song, co-written with Doug Gill, represents a powerful lesson I have learned through my fight with cancer: Life takes you to places and through situations you may not necessarily plan for, but a life well-lived is every bit as bountiful as the one we try to shape. Operation Song is ...
Hey Jay, wherever you are, i am happy that the last video you did was with spaghetti, as an italian i am always happy to see people happy with our food (but hey thats not an italian recipe, we will have to talk about that in the "wherever"). The video is very sweet and a bit sad at the same time, thinking that you wanted to cook food while dying of stomach cancer. nature could have made us feed ourselves only out of necessity without feeling the flavors... but instead food is one of the most beautiful things, and I don't think all this is accidental. Have your tasty spaghetti with meatballs wherever you are, in happiness .
Vaud a form of National Healthcare and so many think that is what the U.S. should have. I have seen so many cancer stories in countries that have National Healthcare and people were tired of waiting so long to see specialists or the long waits for CT, ultrasounds or MRI’s and had to go to private healthcare where they were immediately taken care of
Rest in Paradise. Thank you for your service. We'll see you in Heaven.
Hope you are doing well 🙏🏾
Just beautiful...
I know the va now has the pact act which vets are asked about their exposure to burn pits. This is so sad 😢
Hello my friend. Thank you for your story. I have been sick for the past several months. I have pain daily in my stomach and am being treated for h pylori bacteria which is a main cause for gastric cancer. I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I invite you to know Him. 🙏😊
You said the chemo wasn't working any more.. Have you been put on any different treatment
It's 5 years old, he passed away not too long after this video.
@@RuckFussiaThank you for letting us know. Very sad. My Dad was in USAF during Vietnam and agent orange was used on his base for clearing vegetation and treating dogs. Still, he was not included in Va lawsuits and whatnot as only 2-3 (I can’t remember) bases where acknowledged for having agent orange. He suffered a long 15+ years at stage 4 prostate and bone cancer. 💜
I lost my sister to that.she kept being fobbed off with ibs!eventually in 2016 she was diagnosed and had her whole stomach removed November that year.she had 6 bouts of chemo and umpteen tablets which made her very ill and weak,during 2017,then January 2018 she was told she was terminal and passed March 7th.xx
Think I have tummy C too. At 64 I had a good ride. Nobody lives forever. But 45 is to young buddy. G🌎D Bless
I am in pain in my stomach now for few weeks and I am waiting to see specialist I might have cancer too😢
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I learned I possibly had cdh1 gene when I was on a facebook call with my 33 cousins . I went to my gp and she sent me for genetic testing. I was positive. I then decided that I might be among the 20% who would not get stomach cancer. So they scanned me every 6 months. In July 2021 I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. In Sept 2021 my stomach was removed. I get scanned every 6 months and am cancer free so far.
The VA has some of the worse doctors in their system...
Bless be strong 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What happened to you is inexcusable, the army should be held responsible
My daughter was living in Mexico, she went to many Dr's, but they all said she was fine. All they did was give her antibiotics for H. Pylori and Prilosec, this went on for over 2 years, then she started getting weirder and weirder symptoms, and the Dr's gave her the same meds. About a month ago she started having bleeding in her stomach, she thought it was a bleeding ulcer, and just kept taking the meds, and didnt go to the hospital, and she really should have. 3 days later, she died, of stomach cancer, and maybe metasticised in other organs, she was 44 yrs old, and my heart is broken. I begged her to come home to the US and get checked here, she refused, she didnt think it was serious, just acid reflux and a stomach ulcer, it would come and go, until about the last 3 months. My daughter had a very high tolerance for pain, and that is why she didnt feel the pain very much until 4 days before she died. By then, it was far too late, even tho we didnt know it. I miss my baby. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭The funny(not funny) thing is, I worried she would get Covid and die, because she didnt get the vaccine, she got Covid, at least twice, and that didnt do anything, she was fine, until March 10th, I still cant believe shes gone. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh my goodness 😔 I am so sorry. That's how my story started but it has been 4 years and I just started getting the advanced symptoms. I went to my doctor every two weeks and often more
This is absolutely horrible. I am so sorry
so very sorry, my daughter is having symptoms and the dr is sending her to the stomach specialist , i'm sorry your daughter didn't get the same care...

Do you have family history of the disease in your family?
Thanks for sharing Mr Seals. My wife was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer and we're just starting our fight. I hope we can face it as bravely as you.
How is she going?
Seems common amongst veterans
The gross negligence is astounding and unacceptable. Doctors get away with murder, no wonder many of them are so despicably arrogant
Wow. So for FOUR years, he had stomach cancer and didn’t even know it. Because these incompetent fucks didn’t tell him. 🤦♀️
So sorry to hear of all the disgusting neglect Jay had from Military. Jay sounds so bitter and angry , kept saying the word YAY with great sarcasm . 😳😳😳😳I dont blame him at all. From 2cm tumor to 20 cm ! in such a short time. ! Doctors can be so cruel , and even un my experience they never own up to serious mistakes that are life changing to patients. . Sorry to hear he passed away a year later.....Senfing much love and strength to his family and friends. Bless you all. 💚💚💚💚
how old is he
@@tnecniv1124 I assume he was in his 40s . So sad ..still very young.
This is very sad I’m sitting here crying how could this happen to somebody nice and hard-working like he was and his death was not his fault it could’ve been avoidedThis man’s life was stolen he could have live another 40 years

RIP Jay 🙏🙏🙏
RIP 🙏🙏🙏
I pray to allah that your family get strength to overcome from all tough situation.
Bs they let you down like that. You should have been informed immediatly of the mass in stomach
So Sorry you had to go through all this,rip 😪
Right behind you brother. See you soon glory be to God
My condolences. A very brave man.
It really disappoints me when some doctors brush over things that can possibly catch cancer's earlier.
I think the medical world in incapable of diagnosing early as they are only able to cure what is really really obvious .... curative care instead of preventive or early stages of ailments that can become dangerous and life threatening and I think they don’t care 🤷🏻♀️
So sorry for all you and Jay have had to walk through Tori.

TheNightShadow I’m sorry. I wish I had better words.

My condolences Mrs. Seals and family.
I am so sorry. I was treated for breast cancer in 2017 and 18 but I think it has spread to my stomach. I have had issues since the beginning, but I was "fat" so losing weight wasn't considered a problem. I will know in a week or so, but I'm pretty sure it has spread.
Jay Seals is posthumously helping me fight a binge eating addiction, thank you and rest is peace

It's absolutely fucking disgraceful how the military/government tries to deny the reality of the diseases they cause in the workplace.
eat raw garlic and you will be cure...it cause burning and pain when you eat it raw but it will cure you...
how much?
Garlic is poisonous for brain.
A native American I know did that to cure her lung cancer completely.
I am just starting the journey. Over the years I have worked with toxic substances through welding and brazing at work. The thing is, that so many people get stomach cancer that have never been exposed to anything toxic. Maybe it was cooking with Teflon that got too hot, aluminum, or a thousand other things. Why were not the lungs effected first. So the bottom line is nobody knows what causes it. Trying to find the villain that caused it is probably a futile endeavor that leaves us feeling like the victim of something that we can point to. I had an endoscopy done at the beginning of the year They said there was signs of irritation in the stomach but could not determine the cause. So about 8 months later I am going in for another endoscopy in 4 days to see if it has become cancerous. I found this video by looking for info about it. As odd as it is I talked with another guy tonight who said he was in constant fear of dying from something. I told him we are all going to die from something, and fear was a way to victimize ourselves before that happens. I wish us both the very best quality of life before we maybe meet on the other side.
Stay strong may all the positive forces be with you !
This is so terrible that this has happened to you. When they discovered the mass in your stomach they should have told you right away. They had no right to keep that from you,they have basically stolen your life from you. I'm so sorry that you have had to go through all of this as a result of their negligence.Please check out Dale and Paula Black Ministries,they have a cancer Coaching Ministry and a book Life cancer and God that you might be interested in. Prayers and God's Divine Healing and God's Love over you and your family and all you are going through in Jesus Name Amen 🙏😢💔❣️ Thank you for your Service to this Country and God Bless You Sir 😢💔😢 ❣️
Tingling sensation in fingers/toes. My tumor was 5cm/bleeding/fungus & esophagus. When there was talk about taking out my stomach, I refused. I am two years into the diagnosis.
i had surgery 2017 September removed total stomach .
Praying for you
Thank you.
Please give cbd/thc cannabis oil a try..it can help...
We're working with a few different solutions for pain these days.
Jay - I am so sorry to hear this and I send you my empathy and my energy to you in the hope that you won’t feel alone. I came to watch this video because I had a similar story in 2015. I had meckel diverticulum and I also had that tube to suck the food out of my stomach. Three years later, I am still afraid because I don’t trust American gp’s. I hope you know that your love for lie will be rewarded with something much better.
Hi Jay, tomorrow I am going to get full gastrectomy. It will be a challenge but nothing compared to your story. I keep going back to your story because there is so much neglect from your doctors and truly hope your story reaches others and become aware of incompetency in the medical field. I hope you can sue those people for the sake of your family. I wish you well.
Unfortunately, due to something called the Feres Doctrine, which prevents Soldiers from suing the Army, I cannot pursue legal action. My wife has other venues to pursue, however- it's complicated. I hope your gastrectomy went smoothly!
Wow talk about shell shock , sending you lots of love and prayers ❤️🙏🏻
Are you doing ok? Still alive and hanging in there?
Yep! Still kickin'. On an immunotherapy-based treatment at Vandy these days. Lost a lot of weight, but still in the fight. Sorry I haven't made any new installments on this series in a long while. Part of it is that I've been busy, but another part of it is, well, I just haven't felt motivated to record anything. That might change in the future, though.
