My daughter was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma in 2018. She relapsed in 2020. She was diagnosed with therapy related Acute Myleoid Leukemia in 2021. She passed away at 24 in September 2022. She was my only child. The chemotherapies were brutal and ultimately she passed away because of the chemotherapies. 4% of government funding goes to childhood cancer. The newest chemotherapy is over 40 years old. We need more funding and other choices than high dose chemotherapy to treat childhood cancer. 🌻🎗
Hey I just found your channel and it's really inspiring and I wanted to say thanks. Maybe a bit weird to do it on the chemo video lol... But I lost my dad to cancer in January and this reminded me of how much he struggled last year with chemo, but he always still tried to be there for me. Before he died I had let anxiety hold me back from doing so many things I wanted to do, including applying to medical school. But after he died it made me realise life is too short and we never know how much we will get. I've been feeling more anxious lately (and missing him badly because he's who I would have talked to if I was struggling before...) and I was starting to get bogged down and lose that drive a bit. Finding your channel reminded me of why I want to do this, and of all the things I can still achieve and all the happiness I have waiting for me, even though he won't be here to share it with me. So thank you for being so open and vulnerable to all us strangers. And yes I can definitely agree that chemo sucks.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to brain cancer in 2018. For the previous 20 years, I watched him go through many rounds of chemo, radiation, surgeries, etc. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I hope you keep your drive and go on to do great things. Grief sometimes sneaks up and catches you, but they sneak up less often with time. Good luck in all of your pursuits!
Ty for sharing. My thing is brain, not body, and obv idk you. But I think your dad would be proud, and there's no shame in talking to someone else- whether that be a friend, family, writing, art, or a professional. Or even if that takes multiple tries to find the right one. Regardless, GL, you can do it!
My buddy lost his arm in a crash. You can’t even tell he lost it. Rolling blunts with one arm. Works hard. These things don’t really define a person. Loosing a body part is like grass growing through a rug. Life just finds a way to move on
My dad had a motorcycle accident and lost his arm as well. It was his dominant arm. He lost it when I was pretty little, I don’t remember him having two arms but I remember hearing about his accident and seeing him in the hospital. But that never stopped him he’s still a Pilot, he drives a stick shift and has won a few small racing awards, watching him water ski and wakeboard is absolutely incredible. It’s very strange to me that it just seems super normal.
This is so good to know. My stepmother is already an amputee (from a car accident 16 years ago) and is now diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing chemo
dude ur fucking awesome man I had my left leg have a limb salvage for a prosthetic knee and half of my femur replaced with a metal rod because I had a tumor of osteosarcoma in my left knee and I just feel like really ig connected in the way that you described ur stuff and the way you are living now man keep up the good work chief and I probably will lose my leg at one point in my life and the fact there is technology like this is just crazy to me
I had osteosarcoma too!! I hated having to clear methotrexate!!! My level always went down a ton the first day and then took forever in the days following. Love your content!! Thank you for sharing!!
I also had methotrexate because of osteosarcoma for a few weeks. It absolutely sucked and the worst part was that it wasn't even effective on the tumor so they started a stronger chemo
🥺 that sounds very hard and sad 😢 I hope your doing better this days ❣️ I really don't know a lot about chemo or what exactly it does 😐☺️ btw I've been wanting to make a smoothie bowl but I'm not exactly sure how I don't want to make it wrong
Definitely doing a lot better now! Chemo back then was rough! It really just kills your body to get rid of the cancer cells in the goal to cure your body!
Can you please do more videos about this topic? And maybe some ways a spouse can help you through this? My bf 25 was diagnosed with stage 2b lymphoma and awaiting treatment. I'm scared I wont be enough help or do enough.
You're helping more than you can imagine just staying with him. You might not believe it but he's probably feeling pretty alone right now and needs some words of encouragement, and not just "You're going to make it" he needs a "My Handsome man and I will get through anything together"
I wasn't admitted into the hospital for my chemo for my ovarian cancer. I don't know if I would have handled it that well. I hated what I went through as it was.
I used to take Methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis. 13 years ago, when I had chemo for Hodgkin's lymphoma, one of my chemo drugs was Methotrexate. I felt so crappy during chemo. Eventually, I could barely eat and was very weak. My arthritis felt much better though. I was on a much higher dosage of Methotrexate than I had ever been on when I took it for my arthritis. So while I felt horrible every other way my joints felt much better.
hey man, luv your vids and inspired by it. Cause I also lost one part of me (my left pinky finger and having flat feet on both since I was born). I always wonder how my life would be if i was normal, but im grateful to be alive. Keep working hard and live your life to the fullest.
My Mom and my bfs mom have taken methotrexate for autoimmune conditions, and just from the label it looks like a particularly scary chemical; just exposure the dust from inside the pill bottle or bodily fluids from someone taking it can be toxic
I took methotrexate (lower dose, no hospital) for Rheumatoid Arthritis for a bit myself. I ultimately had to stop because, while it did get the inflammation down, it shot my liver enzymes way up (they were completely fine prior). I'm lucky they went back down after I stopped. there was a very good chance they could have stayed. even at a lower dose, I had a LOT of the main symptoms. one cool thing, though, is I also got chemo curls (:
I do the same too haha, sometimes when i got a problem on my blood(which is low) and the electrolytes after methothrexate, my doctor dont want to let me go out of the hospital and i waz like 😵😤😭
I think he probably had osteosarcoma, which is a bone cancer. I’m assuming they had to amputate to remove the tumor. I had it too, and I needed an amputation as well.
I've been experienced same things you have been too. watched almost all your videos 👍. I feel you Man. Finally this year i get my medical university graduate. I'll be working as doctor from now on. I hope u fullfil your dreams too. I wish for me also such a good prosthetic 🦿. Much love

The world is more interested in playing politics , than uniting to create better healthcare options

Wisdom is to you as perseverance is to Alex.
"Rolling blunts in one arm" god damn that's impressive 😂
The body learns to adapt

Yep I lost my leg too but It’s fine doesn’t matter to me :)
This is too relatable. Waiting in the hospital is literal hell. The doctors don't understand we heal. After and eat better at home
This is so good to know. My stepmother is already an amputee (from a car accident 16 years ago) and is now diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing chemo
I had cancer and I still remember the crappy feeling that I felt after chemo or taking medicine and it does suck

I HAD METHOTREXATE TOO! I had it I think like 10 times at age 13. Fuckin sucked so much! Glad you're still here like me.

God bless

could you make a video telling your entire story? im intrigued!
You are a strong guy my friend. Your videos are top notch. Hope you are doing better and may God heal you 😄
I’m not sure if this is rude but how did you lose your leg??
I think he probably had osteosarcoma, which is a bone cancer. I’m assuming they had to amputate to remove the tumor. I had it too, and I needed an amputation as well.
Can I just say you are beautiful 🫰
My bro.. U can make guinness Book of world record.... Coz you will be the one of doing highest one leg squat
You have a a similar story to Zach sobeich. With cancer
What were your symptoms?
You’ve drink to much water never think I would hear someone say that😂
Did he lose his leg or was he born without a leg?
He lost his leg to cancer I believe
Osteosarcoma?
Total noob to channel. How did you lose leg? I saw chemo stuff in videos. Cancer?
I've been experienced same things you have been too. watched almost all your videos 👍. I feel you Man. Finally this year i get my medical university graduate. I'll be working as doctor from now on. I hope u fullfil your dreams too. I wish for me also such a good prosthetic 🦿. Much love
