My survival story -- what I learned from having cancer | Martin Inderbitzin | TEDxZurich
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Martin Inderbitzin was 32 years old, with a fresh PhD degree, a new job and about to start a new life when he was suddenly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
He had to go through surgery and endure nine months of radiochemotherapy. While coping with his new situation and challenging his many fears he realized how important his own state of mind was. In the middle of his treatment, when he was barely able to walk, he decided to sign up for a triathlon, despite never having seriously practiced endurance sports before. Today, he says this was one of the most important decisions of his life.
With this new goal in mind he quickly realized the positive effect it had on his mental and physiological state. He tried to figure out how to‚train‘, while still being under treatment. After he had left the hospital his energy slowly returned and his training became more serious. Three months after the end of his treatment, Martin crossed the finish line of his first triathlon. Today, Martin is an enthusiastic Amateur-Triathlete, competing regularly in races around the globe.
During his time as a patient Martin was inspired by stories from other patients who had lived through the same hassle. While crossing the finish line of his first race he realized that he himself had become an inspiration for other patients. This life changing moment gave Martin the idea to start his initiative: to collect and document cancer survival stories in the form of short videos and make them available to other patients and their families on an online platform.
Martin Inderbitzin studied biology at the ETH Zurich and did his PhD in Neuroscience at UPF Barcelona with a special focus on artificial emotions and human computer interaction. After his studies in Spain he moved back to his home town Zurich and started to work as an interaction designer. In 2012 his dreams of a successful career were destroyed by a cancer diagnosis. While in treatment he decided to become a triathlete despite never having practiced this sport before. Since he left the hospital in 2013 he has completed multiple races and is enjoying his health again.

Hello everybody! It's me again. :) so you guessed right...I am still here! And I feel so humble and grateful to read all your comments and feedbacks. Isn't it amazing that we can share our stories and empower each other this way? My last 8 years were not straight forward and I have many ups and downs. Many treatments and surgeries, but I am still here. What I learned is that life is short. Don't wait. Go out and follow your heart. Dare to Live! before it's too late. What did you learn? I am curious to hear. With nothing but love and my best wishes, Martin
cheers

Praying for all the people that have cancer
Thank you for that as I have it apparently, and I am praying for everyone and offering the info I have come across that has people reversing it and getting rid of tumors. Thank you. I pray for their families because it is so hard on them too.
Stop praying. Inform them how to cure cancer!

Hi Martin, thanks for your story. I'm 9 years free of chemo + radiation and enjoying my rebirth..
I still have cancer bone cancer idgaf I'm going to beat it
Vidatox. Look into it.
Sam D I got curious, so I did look it up in a medical database. Turns out it wasn't in it. Naturally, I got even more curious and looked into it some more. Turns out Vidatox is water. And all the studies they list on their page are references to the UNDILUTED venom. Whereas Vidatox is homeopatic and thus, just water.
Good luck
Myles Porter How are things going brother? Hope all is well
I hope that your ok, my brother.
Just been diagnosed yesterday but I'm positive I'll be just fine.

Maybe this comment will help someone some day. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in March 2012. It's now almost October 2016 and he is still here. He didn't want to hear the life expectancy, but it was a year at most. AND HE IS STILL HERE. Thanks to immunotherapy he's still living ,so please never give up hope. best wishes to all going through cancer.
Praise God for his endurance. There is something called GcMAF that I want to do (need funds) that can be made at home, a pro biotic that feeds the immune system. Maybe that will be of help. Also something called Vidatox; I just heard of it the other day and am reading up on it. Available on line.
Wow that is so nice!!!! My mom went to heaven 3 days ago. I will always miss her. I have read numerous papers with tons of citations saying that probiotics amplifies the effects of immunotherapy. You should try them out! There are allegedly side effects of too much probiotics but there are now many products that prevents them.
Please, it's important to share that immunotherapy works for melanoma and lung cancer.
Your comment gave me strength. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and is trying my very best to help him think positively and have hope.
thank you for posting this. I am newly diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. I am in the process of switching my care to John Hopkins because they offer the immunotherapy. I am also making HUGE lifestyle changes because I feel I have to do everything I can to help my body heal and not just depend on medicine.
Great story! I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer stage 4 last year. I tried to fight with cancer by kept working even during chemo time. I tried to let my work speaking without telling others about my diagnosis except my supervisor, but the company still lay me off. The stress of lost job let me feel my symptoms back. I am trying to be strong and jump back the job market. I enjoyed working and concentration of working let me feel alive. By the way, I am 62 years old and I am a software engineer. I used to have Ph.D. degree of plant genetics. Your story let me know strength can get benefit in the battle of fighting illness as well. Thank you!
Hi Linda. Have you ever tried Wim Hof’s cold water therapy.
It’s a mixture of breath work, meditation and cold water therapy.
It strengthens the immune system, calms you down and boosts your health.
Check it out🙏🏻
There’s loads of clips about him and his method.
@@hermanhelmich Thank you for your information!
This was beautiful. I was given my diagnoses in November. Stage 4 stomach cancer. I refuse to let this disease beat me. I know that I will not die but shall live to tell everyone that Jesus saves. Maybe you may not believe in him but to believe that you will live means you believe in something. I JUST believe in my LORD 🙏 for this battle belongs to him. Loved the inspiring story.
🙏 for you!
Amen im also trusting God for my healing. Had colon cancer removed now its in the liver. Having op tomorrow. Jehovah Rapha is our healer. By his stripes we are healed. Will pray for you as well. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@Sharon-qr9vx Dear Sister, I prayed for you. As the sun sets on your operation day I pray God sends you comfort and you feel his presence more strongly than ever. I pray the nurses are skilled and kind hearted. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Who took pain in his legs away, jesus only requires faith, at that moment he had great faith maybe not in jesus but the sun shines on the righteous and unrighteous. I say thank you God, x❤️🙏
I have always believed that we must turn FEAR into STRATEGY. They both require energy. It is a mindset worth exploring.
I like that idea
LOVE IT
We just lost to cancer, a 19-year-old young lady. She was the oldest sibling and would help her mom with the rest of the children. She died praying without ever stopping. She was angelic in so many ways. I remember her when she was still a baby. I'm still praying for her eternal rest and for her family. The community is still overwhelmed because she was so young and kind. But there is a sense of conformity with the fact of her death because she was suffering a whole lot, and all the money in the world wouldn't suffice to get better treatments than the ones she got. She was such an angel! I'm so happy that I met her!
Martin, You sound like an Olympic Champion Gold Medal Winner! Nothing can stop you from being #1!!!!!!111
Omg, I'm crying. My mom was diagnosed a few weeks ago, she's everything I have and your way of seeing this is strongly helping me. Thank you so much, I'll fight this fear. I wish everybody could watch this video. Thank you, God bless y'all.
I hope you and your mom are doing okay.
ur mom will be fine there's heaps of us with great love ::)))
My mom just Wednesday I’m crushed. I pray you and your mom are doing well. How is she?
Sophia I’m sending you and your mum my prayers.
Prayers to you and your mom
I'm 32 with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis and only given monthes. I feel alone but not...I see the love around me. I will be writing a book to help others be strong when it seems impossible. Through a cancer, toxic relationships and post love ones, let's go.
How you doing??
Dude I hope you’re still fighting and if you aren’t I hope you got to finish your book. If you did pass I hope you went in peace
Look up dr.bergs videos on cancer
He did a interview with a man that had stage 4 cancer and he was able to reverse it .
There are a ton of testimonies of people given several months to live and they beat it.
YOU CAN SURVIVE-NO MATTER WHAT THE DRS SAY. FIGHT AND LIVE
I hope your ok. Please look into a 21 day fast. My mom died of PC and I wish she had tried a fast to.starve the cancer. It's well documented that it works
Thank you for your story. I survived small cell adenoma lung cancer it was 2011. I am 73 years old next month. Previously in 1976 my child was diagnosed with an incurable,inoperable brain disease called hyppsarrythmia and that he had 4weeks to 4 years to live. Doctor advised me to put my son aside and get on with my life. My son is 47 next month.He is very smart man works with computers, plays many musical instruments and has artistic talents. I am very strong in my attitude and very positive that my son would survive. When I was told of my cancer I was able to console my doctor who is my friend that everything would be OK however it turns out as I am not afraid of death.
I am from Bangladesh and I am a cancer survivor. I keep sharing my story and lessons whereever I go. God bless
Hi Bohemian, what is your story? Can we share it on My Survival Story so you can inspire a millionaire in Hollywood? ;)

I was diagnosed with cancer last year stage 3,
the day I heard about it, I was speechless and I can't stop crying.
But that night I told to myself, Nahhh I need to get through this so I could share to everyone what I been through.
Is everything okay now?
You ok bro?
How r you doing now
I hope you’re ok

"It's much more important how I live my life than how long I'm going to live"...... Thank you so much for those words of wisdom.
That was very uplifting. That was my mantra too, while you cannot control your situation you can only control how you react to it. There is life beyond cancer
What I learned from having cancer, is that the battle is not only against cancer, the battle is also against your mind.
So true
Or maybe becoming friend with your mind. Which can also be a battle. ;)
I just finished all conventional treatment a month ago , i never stop working during my treatment. I went to my treatment with my bycycle. I never treated myself as a cancer patiënt.
@Mannix Mannix how long should one take?

Hi Ana, stay strong. I am praying for you.
I am in my fifth year now and still surviving - indeed mind over matter! Thank you and let us tell our stories!!!
What did you do
God bless you and heal you.
I agree. I believe more people die from the "fear" of tne cancer versus the cancer itself. Cancer often follows a period of great stress. The fear itself causes even more. When you let your head follow that fear, your body will follow, so don't let your head go there in the first place.
Easier said than done!
I agree...you must tell yourself you can beat this....you must have a strong mind...
This is true..
very emotional moments when u get diagnosed especially during C19, be strong everyone::)))
Wat u mean
Great news you so lucky I too was given 12 mths 3 yrs on I'm still here stay strong and thank the lord 🙏 ❤
you're at the mark... you still here bud?
God Bless You, Martin Inderbitzin, for giving everyone going through this hope!
Wow! Strong people like you change not their own life but life of other people too. Please do that documentary it would be a life saver. When I was diagnosed ten years ago, all I did was searching for positive stories like that. Our mind can heal us for sure.
"I finished the race." Crying my eyes out about now.
As I have always said"you might have a serious illness,but,you must make sure that the serious illness does NOT have you"
This talk was excellent.
In this message I see courage, power and no surrender. We are not created to be weak
Such a beautiful story, it was good that you told your story, my husband Orrett was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. It is only a miracle that he is experiencing a good measure of health. God has been good to us. We thank you Jesus.
Praying for your husband Orrett. Healing in the name of Jesus. The God of miracles. 🙏🏼❤️
My father was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer and beat it a few years ago just to find out he had progressive prostate cancer. January 2020 he was told he had a 0.0 PSA and was cleared from stage IV cancer. A couple of months ago he had a sharp pain in his back where he thought was his kidney. He still has a big CYST in his nonfunctioning kidney & thought that was maybe it. He & I and all our family were praying it wasn’t. It turned out it wasn’t that, but they found that the Cancer from his Prostate had spread to the liver & the stomach. I am so sad and hurting. I pray for him everyday, if anyone who is reading this can keep him in your prayers his name is Rafael. At the very least, at least I got this off my chest. I’m trying to find anything I can to help cure him.
I will pray for him too...God bless you and your family❤️
Hi your father and my partner are in similar situations, he just diagnosed two weeks ago a stage 4 cancer liver. We both devastated. Please kindly include him on your prayers his name is Bob. Thank's a lot
I prayed for Rafael and Bob.
I m praying for Rafael. You are so wonderful to be giving him support. I’m sure it means the world to him. God bless you. 🙏🏼❤️
Hey..... that was a very inspirational video....I've been off cancer for 4 years now....happy to hear your success story too...pray that you are always blessed with good health and serve to inspire and morally support those struggling with this disease
My sister has been diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer a month ago, and doc said she has 5-6 moth to live.
What you said make sense, information from internet about this kind of survival rate is not good but I do agree with you that those statistics do not define her survival rate.
I will visit her tomorrow and will encourage her to think how she wants to live her life. One thing for sure, she has been a very committed Christian and have been living her life caring and helping the needy.
Xin-Xin Mah she can live. She needs to be in ketosis. Fast few days before chemo. Srsly people with terminal brain cancer survive doing this
SHE HAS CHANCES TO LIVE!!! PUT HER IN DEEP KETOSIS WITH INTERMITENT FASTING AND SHE WILL BEAT CANCER 100%. DO RESEARCH ON UA-cam LOTS OF PEOPLE BEAT CANCER BY DOING THIS. ALSO ALKALINE DIET WORKS VERY VERY GOOD IN BEATING CANCER.
Look up Cimevax for your sister.
please give garlic, turmeric milk, ginger, and home recipe , dr. kalyan basnet, alopathic hysician, nepal. god bless her......,
@@GanTreFTW What Rapha94 means is that Alkaline diet = Organic non gmo plant based. Animal products have no fiber and are acidic.
Keep smiling and keep on doing this service...millions of patients are looking at you as "God Sent"!....YOU ARE GREAT....God Bless You Martin!.
Thank you for sharing your experience. This video has helped me more than you know. I am paralyzed on my left side yet I am still going, just got married last year. 5 years of “fighting” brain cancer, positivity is key. After all it is all in my head. Take care & thank you
Hope your doing ok and I love the joke
Thank you for sharing your touching story! You are a beautiful soul and you are on your best way one day to die in peace :). Because you already reached thousands of people and you leave your trace of hope which will spread out like a lightfire. You give the people an instrument to fight. Probably the most important thing while fighting fear- the opportunity to get active.
I just came back home after a long exhausting day. Starting my work as a doctor on the oncology department today.
You are not only having effect on people suffering from cancer you are also teaching people like me!
Thank you.
Hi Marsilla, So happy to hear that and being aware how many people are supporting us patients in the fight against cancer. With my warmest wishes and big thank you!
Dr Bastin thank you for keeping me in a pointed direction of continued health, your skill and understanding professionalism is appreciated,,,,
Thank you for your kind feedback. It fills my heart with gratitude.🌱
The more you fear something the more power you are feeding it.
Encouraging.

Beautiful!
Thank you!
Martin.....THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS, completely can relate!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are amazing!!! May you continue to be fully blessed with great health!!!
I needed this video more than anything. I just found out my grandpa has lung cancer last night and I have been a wreck. You are inspiration to be more positive and not look at only the negatives. Life is short. Thank you so much.
I swear, you spoke through my soul here at 16:48 and seconds afterward. Thank you. Everybody needs to listen to this whole thing. Don't let fear be the one who wins. Be humble and confident in helping yourself and other alike.
How very pragmatic and Swiss. The story is important. I remember looking for someone to inspire me-it took a long time to find her. She is no longer here, but she remains an inspiration. I have outlived two prognoses and now have another challenge. I have saved your website, and I will share this with those asking me for pathways to inspire and support. Sometimes, it is not about survival but about surviving beyond expectation and living with the knowledge that each day is a bonus.
Thank you for that Martin!! It was so so encouraging and inspirational! Science cannot explain what God decides to do for us when we choose to THINK victoriously , have FIRM FAITH in Him, THANK AND PRAISE Him every moment and INTENTIONALLY CHOOSE JOY every day despite the circumstances!! IT WORKS MIRACLES!!
Martin, you are an inspiration! And a tour de force - cancer won’t want to mess with you ever again! It knows better than to try!Thank you for your story and your wisdom.
Well done Martin. Truly inspiring for those off us just starting our healing journey!
My cousin Ian Evans was a huge success story. I remember him playing his bass guitar in his bedroom all the time while everyone else was out partying. He worked so hard throughout his life and long story short he ended up playing for Lynard Skynard under the name Mississippi Kid. He was shinning like a star and so happy. All of his life's hard work had paid off. Then, not long after being hired by the band, he began to have stomach pains.
Two months later he was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. Two months later he was gone. He was 49 years old.
Im so sorry for your loss..
Cancer is a horrible disease
What a beautiful goal to aspire to. People need these inspirational stories! There is enough negativity on the internet, this positivity will help so many. May God bless you with good health and long life.

A couple common underlying threads between cancer survivers seems to be diet (low glucose) and exercise (help to m maintain low blood sugar). Otto Warbug discovered that all cancer types require high levels of glucose to function, so the common threads make sense.
i have close of 2 years fighting against the cancer , some days i feel so bad , mad,sad, but i don't know why?, my humor changes but i dont know why?. Sometime i feel fear to not win this fight, maybe this reason make me change my humor. But i most sure that i going to win, by my wife , my son and all my family. I wanna see grow old my son.

I don't have a diagnosis yet, but I've had some weird symptoms and I'm seeing the doc tomorrow. I've spent countless hours researching symptoms and differential diagnosis, and you're right about the doom and gloom on the internet. Cancer shares symptoms with so many other things, but I always think the worst. It's very frightening, but worrying about it isn't going to make it better. I do think I want to start training for a half marathon again. I think it is important to have goals and something worth fighting for, and it's possible your exercise starved some cancer cells. Either way, you are very inspirational. I wish you continued good health.
Thank you very much Martin for sharing your story! I was recently diagnosed with preconditions for pancreatic cancer and your story really inspired me.
14:48...brilliant....just brilliant...I hear somebody who understands,what pain is
What an inspiration you are, such words of hope and meaning. Thank you.
Thank you for talking about this,it has helped me to realize that focusing on living is of the utmost importance. I am so happy you are living the best life you can. Continue to thrive.
Martin Inderbitzin, you are an amazing man! Your story is so very inspiring! Thank you for sharing! Praise God for His goodness! We all know so many who have been diagnosed with cancer and inspiring stories are what we all need! Your mindset is amazing! Your determination is awe inspiring! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! It is very hard to express all I feel, but I so thank you for this!
Grateful to you Martin. A thoughtful, strong and generous human being. God bless you.
I just want to wish you all the best, and send a lot of love to you.
my mother recently diagnosed with Aggressive Breast cancer. The news brought great fear. Words cannot express . I was in great shock and cried out. I wanted an explanation for this. The fear for my mom and also fear that it is now family history. But I remembered that the word of God in Isaiah 53:4-5 surely He borne our griefs and carried our sorrows yet we esteemed Him stricken. Smitten by God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And by His Stripes we are healed. This is the word of God that never fails. My mom is healed by His stripes. In this journey Lord I know that I am not alone. To all cancer patients and caregivers Christ borne our sorrows and griefs. our loved ones are healed by His stripes. We have received justification by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. I join many who will read this that we have access by faith into God's grace and we can rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we also glory in tribulations knowing that tribulations produces perseverance and perseverance character and character hope. Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us . For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. The life of Christ saves us from sin and death eternal. how much more , The life of Christ has healed you this morning from all diseases and afflictions from Cancer in Jesus name. Amen.
Chi Opia-Evans God will see you through
Amen

Thank you. God bless you and God be with your sweet mother. You are a gem to her.
Amen. You are His lovely child.
Thank you your presentation confirms that your decision to react mentally/positively to any cancer diagnosis is very vital.
I hope there comes a day when cancer is not this deadly and horrific diagnosis
Your a great and beautiful man. Thank you for being so good and sharing your story. It brings me great joy.Thank you!
THANK YOU I am so changed by your words!
Thank you Martin! Many congratulations on your 5th year anniversary.
5th year, the talk was in 2014, should be 8 or 9 year anniversary???
So sorry about your diagnosis, but look at what's it's given you..........given us. Thanks for taking us on your journey.
What an inspiring story! Thank you so much for sharing it Martin.
I'm in 4th stage cancer which also resulted in being paraplegic. To die peacefully for myself would be difficult, not in the dying but in the living. For the way I lived was very unfulfilling, but more than that, unfulfilled, in that it lacked love. I would die empty. Only now, as you stated am I living more consciously. A lesson it's taken facing death to learn.
god bless
Please do fasting as much as you can and stop eating sugar. It will be cured for sure. I wish you the best.
Thank you for giving people hope
What an inspirational video. I’m going to watch all of your videos. God bless. So happy you are doing so well.
If anyone with cancer MUST READ "WORLD WITHOUT CANCER". You owe it to yourself!! Also, I can't stress enough, you must eat a plant based diet with no meat. Positive mind is also the key!!
everybody is sick, and I know why! great book!
Thank you very much for sharing your story, God bless you Martin!

The man who betrayed me badly long time ago is suffering from cancer now.
At first, I thought the god punished him as a revenge, but now I don’t resent him at all, because I learned a lot from this TED video.
Anyone who fights against the cancer has a fear and doesn’t want to be a weak person when the cancer beats him/her.
Also, the lesson is “How do you want to live? “…It doesn’t mean how long you want to live…
The attitude toward the life means a lot.
I want to be sincere to anyone all the time. Thank you!

Hi, I was diagnosed with an aggressive none-hodgekinson follicular lymphoma stage IV. That was almost 6 years ago. I went through three years of chemo. Never was I ill, didn't lose my hair, had my strength and stamina as well. I'm not bragging but I was fortunate to have very good physiology. Never once did I investigate it on the internet until recently, never went to any support groups either. What I did to survive was put it completely out of my mind. I kept busy in life, and I've never looked back. I had a total of 5 bags of blood, which was two transfusions in total. I was near dead when I was suddenly diagnosed after having problems within three weeks. In 20 years I have never even had a common cold, except one respiratory infection this August 2019 which lasted 3 weeks. I don't pay attention to diet either. My only advice would be to put the thought of cancer completely out of your mind. There's no place for it.
Darrel and 1minute flip. Thank you. 🦋
My journey so far has been much different from yours. Thank you for the good feedback. It helps me through this hard time.
Martin, I was surfing through UA-cam looking for various cancer related info for a project I’m undertaking as a survivor as well. I applaud your spirit and life The mind/body connection is astounding and mysterious and wonderful Best of health for the next decade and beyond. That’s how long I believe you’ll be here. I’m certain you are many people’s “story”
“Your life isn’t on the Internet”. !! What a profound statement ! Fearing things paralyze, life isn’t a race … are you a weak person if you have/die of cancer … definitely not …choose consciously, life-not with a time in mind-how about forever in mind ?! 👍🏽👍🏽Rev 21:3-5 🔆🔆
Thanks Martin for your inspiring story.
