    before this series i didn't know how bad we were at knowing what kind of cancer someone had from just a few scans.
    imagining the thousands of patients that have been incorrectly treated through medical error is really quite a grim thing to think about, glad you're calling attention to this joe :)

    Dear Joe
    Great to see you!
    I am with you, on keep the bullshit away, I am also going through the same thing, (have commented on this before), pharma is there to help, without the medication to lengthen our lives, we wouldn’t be here! It’s expensive for trials and formulating medication over years that can help clients. I was given three months originally and am still here three years later! I used to be an RN, anyone can get this.
    Looking at your previous video you had masses of practical messages to give that you still have today! I loved the toast to ones that have gone before, that was really very special, plus your birthday at the time, we learn as we go along, that shows in the videos.
    I am also learning with this also, as a nurse I didn’t get to see a lot of the radiology department or understand it, now of course it’s a different matter, I am so grateful to have the opportunity to have use of everything I need and am in awe of the people who work in these places, people who work in hospitals want to see you get better or improve the quality of life you have.
    Love your videos, love and hugs to you and your lovely wife💕 condensed. Hope you enjoyed your fried chicken!

    Well shit, Joe, this channel wasn't something I expected to find.
    I'm an ex-elite dangerous player and joined in a few of your streams (I went on the Dove Enigma expedition and went canyon racing in a Type-9 around Pomeche if that sets the scene for the sort of time I'm talking about!)
    You mentioned then that you had thyroid cancer but it seemed it was caught early and I thought it was a given you'd get clear of it.
    I'm feeling gutted to stumble across this channel a few years on and hear the different story.
    I'm an antitheist too - my favourite antitheist writer was Christopher Hitchens, I suspect from the fact you used the term 'antitheist' you've probably heard of him already (thats who I learned it from) but if you haven't, get some of his books (doesn't matter which, they're all amazing!).
    Admire your ability to keep it real and gunning for the bullshitters!
    Kilo, out.

    Condensed. I don't see a huge difference in looks between how you look in 2019 and now other than the hair color and length. You are a handsome man in both. I do hear a difference in the sound of your voice, though. I find your retrospective videos interesting, but can't help wondering if there is an emotional toll on you to do them. I know that when I see pictures of my younger self, I feel a lot of emotions including sadness and regret. As always, wishing you the best.

      I find them very interesting to make, I don't re-watch then beforehand so the reactions are real. When it comes to it I felt and said those words in that moment and how many of us get to look back at any moments of our lives with perfect clarity and see where we were compared to where we are? I don't really have any regrets regarding treatment, things said or done. I just wanted to be the one that beat the impossible disease.

Thyroid cancer is one of the easiest cancer to cure and it takes forever to kill. I know someone who has had stage 4 for over 10 years and he's still kicking around and you wouldn't know he has cancer. I'm assuming you had it it for a long time without knowing? So sorry!!!

    You spoke a lot about how you've aged in this one, when your life is condensed into a struggle every single day you're bound to age at a more accelerated rate then you would have if you where living in the zone of proximal development or in comfort. Not that you haven't talked about age in all of them, or at least noticed or mentioned it, but It's good to see you with hope for the future, at least I assume that at this point you had hope for the future since you noticed that you had aged. I hope that you will notice that again in a future video where you review this part of your journey!

      It just ends, you cease to exist. There is no awareness that your life has ended, it's just over. We don't remember anything before life either. All that is left behind is other's memories of your and the impact you had on the world.
      There is no proof, no one has seen loved ones from the other side, thr human brain will create illusions we need to get by in times of extreme stress. Also there is no proof of spirits leaving bodies.

      ​@@JoePlater Although having a hard time myself believing there is afterlife (seems really unrealistic..) I have say, there is no proof there is, but also, there is no proof there isn't anything after life either, because non of us alive have been dead....Like with the Universe.., is there other life than just us on earth? We have no proof there is on that either. Personally I actually think there is life in some form in another Galaxy perhaps. Don't ask me why though..
