19 year GBM extreme survivor here and you've got the right mindset for it. Art is so important in this journey, I started a nonprofit art community for survivors, caregivers and the support circle that offers scholarships for that exact reason. I can't wait to see all the puppets and videos you create during this time! It'll be tough still for awhile but with such a great attitude, you've got this! 🤞for your trial
All my prayers to you . Definitely, you will be soon cured. Please my advise you that I reversed my thyroids low and high, and my type 2 diabetic . I changed my nutrition, and some exercises did mindfulness and internment fasting . I learned and trained myself about products that we consume and use can be toxic for our body . Research and learn . I will support you all the way. Take care. ❤
I'm no puppeteer or puppet maker, but I stumbled upon your channel at the beginning of your cancer journey. Since then I have grown to admire you greatly as a creator due to your dedication to your craft, and more so for the incredibly supportive community you've cultivated. Adam, thanks for giving everyone here countless lessons not only in creative expression, but a HUGE lesson in courage in the face of adversity. You are an inspiration, and we will have your back all the way brother 👊
Hoping the best for you. Love that you are not giving up. I started watching you because I was kind of curious about making and having my own puppet. My ADHD has pulled me in all kinds of directions, but I keep watching you. I'm a colon cancer survivor. Do NOT stop fighting. As long as you have breath, make sure you let cancer know that they picked the wrong guy! Here for you!
Rarely comment on youtube videos, life long lurker when it comes to UA-cam. Stumbled across your channel and it was a rabbit hole that i got lost in. I've met multiple professional puppeteers who were inspired by you and your videos, i cannot even imagine how many kids you've expanded the horizon on. You are such a kind, charismatic person and willing to share as much as you can. tho i've never physically met you, you've become part of my life story- along with that i can assume are hundreds of thousands of other people's lives as well. Keep up the content and keep up the strength! Thanks again for everything you've done, sharing is the ultimate form of caring.
Adam, you and your family are in my thoughts, I hope that you get into a good clinical trail. You have been such an inspiration to me, you are one of the people that taught me how to puppeteer, I love using puppets with children (I was an early childhood Educator, but I am developing a storytime youtube channel and I'm going to incorporate puppets) I find that puppets really engage children, because puppets are approachable for children (sometimes more approachable then adults) and they help you tell engaging stories. You keep going Adam, I know you can get through this, and I hope that you continue to do what brings you joy. You, your wife and children are in my thoughts, keep going Adam, don't loose hope and don't give up 😊
Not ridiculous at all, focusing on your art is very beneficial, especially in this situation. Good to hear you're not giving up sir!! You got this! Your family got this. God bless please!
Its not that clinical trials are competitive .they aren't. Every trial has a strict protocol ie design, in which it is calculated in advance how many patients are needed to confidently ascertain whether the findings are genuine outcomes due to treatment or a chance outcome. Each trial has very strict criteria for entry otherwise too many interfering variables make it impossible to interpret data. So therefore recruitment is strictly limited according to the design and patients must meet specific criteria ..there may also be a timeline to follow. Therefore the investigators in the hospitals recruiting patients for the sponsor have no choice but to follow the design they are handed. There are also funding issues. Clinical trials cost millions to run and they are budgeted for a fixed number of patients. With all these factors in mind your chance of being recruited depends on your suitability as well as how early on in the recruitment process you happen to approach it. It really is that complicated. Not a competition.
Heart broken...This sucks. My daughter had a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma that mutated into something weird after six years that was faster growing. I love your being so positive but I know how scary this is. Everyone here at my studio is sending you and your family all the love, all the good and healing vibes and that you find a treatment to kick this this things booty. My daughter went through three remissions, it wasn't easy it was in her brainstem and cerebellum. If there are folks in the puppet community reading this let's get together and embrace this awesome man and his family as he does the hard work! Love your fall risk bracelet (heart). Healing, healing, healing.
Dear Adam, I am writing you from Greece. I came across you while looking for how to make my own puppets. You have been my inspiration for many years, you made me smile with your videos and taught me so much. You are a giving, kind, and patient soul. I can't help like everyone else with the difficulty you are going through. I will do what I can. I will pray to God to make you victorious. I know that all things are possible to him that believeth. With much love and appreciation.
I’m praying for you, Adam. You’ve inspired me to start my own TikTok account with my puppet and I don’t know where I will be without your helpful videos.❤
Thank you for keeping us updated, even as you're going through all this. My mom is 4 weeks (of 6) through radiation, and will start chemo when she's done. Never lose hope. You are strong. You and your family are always in our prayers. ❤
My mother had cancer and is now cancer free and my brother has cancer too but keeps his spirit up. He had 11 surgeries last year which wasn't easy at all. They gave him two years to live and he is now in year 4. And things looking better now. I really believe their zest for life kept them alive. Don't get me wrong. They had many dark moments, especially after surgery. But their overall appetite for life kept them going. It is very helpful to surround yourself with people who believe in your healing. I'm sending you my love and prayers from Germany my friend. 🙏🔥☀️
Adam your passion for puppetry and generous sharing of your knowledge as a professional maker has changed my life, and I know many others could say the same. You’re an amazing artist, educator, and person and I’m in awe of your journey. I look forward to seeing you on the other side of this difficult time in your life.
Thank you for the update, and I am sorry about the progression. Speaking from other experiences, the unknown and the waiting are perhaps the worst parts. Keep going strong, you all got this!
Make a puppet version of your tumor and get a good look at it face to face. So you can stare it down and say what you have to say to it, and maybe hear what it has to say for itself, and why it's taking you on this journey. We love you, Adam. Levi, my son, and I are in a world of puppets and he thinks you're the best thing ever. I would be fascinated to see what kind of puppet you'd come up with to represent the hitchhiker in your head.
I wish you so much luck with the trials, im sending as much love as i can, being an internet stranger ❤ I made my very first puppet recently, and ive learned so so much from your channel. Thank you so much for everything you do, youre very important to the puppetry world and i hope you know it. Sending so much love your way! ❤
Keep at it! I’m right there with you im this journey. I just had to end my clinical trial on Thursday as it wasn’t working. Met with my doctor an hour or so ago and am going onto a different treatment that will hopefully balance things out so we can try and find another clinical trial to work on. My goal was to make it to Christmas. Then once I hit that my wedding anniversary. Now we’re working towards my birthday. Then after than my daughters birthday. And I’ll keep setting goals like that as long as I can. So much to do still!
You are a great person, an excellent teacher. It hurts us a lot that a person with your talent and charisma is going through this situation. All of us who recognize your work hope that you have a speedy recovery and that all of this situation is left behind. ❤
You're a legend man. One of the bravest people I've ever seen. Thanks to your videos and patterns I have fulfilled my lifelong dream of making puppets, with four completed projects. You have made a massive difference in my life, and I will be forever grateful for that. Warm wishes from the UK!
Really wishing you the best, dude. You're a hecking inspiration, got me into the puppet making game while I felt lost during the pandemic. But thank you for everything. It's has helped me get thru. Fuck cancer and kick its ass.
Adam! All the strength and positive energy I can muster is headed your way! You are brave! You are beautiful! You've got a lot of people behind you as you bravely traverse this scary situation. Lots of love to you and yours! Stay strong!
I really hope you find something that works. I've never really watched your channel before, but I feel deep sympathy for anyone going through this sort of thing ever since I lost my mother to cancer years ago. Your determination and positive attitude are an inspiration to us all!
Thank you so much for your support!!!

I agree. He's already inspiring me so much and I just found this channel!

well, when you have this many incidence of cancer popping up like never before doctors can afford to turn a few peasants away.
Omarlocke, you just wrote absolute nonsense. You haven't a clue about how clinical trials work.
@@MmrBader no. i commented reality to a bunch of “cap”. not sorry if you don’t agree.
@@omarlocke4351 you have no idea how trials work. I do clinical trials and they don't turn away people because of too many cancers. That's rubbish .
