    Hey man just discovered your channel and have been binge watching your vids. I also am battling cancer, stage 4 RCC with Mets to spine ribs and lungs. I did do immunotherapy treatments which helped a lot. I just wanted to write you because I really admire your strength and courage. Your stoicism is something I strive for. I will continue to follow you on your journey brother, take care

    Ugh…when you said that when you got sick and people came for the first five minutes to support you, but we’re really making themselves feel better really hit a nerve for me… it’s spot on!!!!

My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age (3) while he is 31 years old now he has been through many health setbacks over the 28 years since diagnosis, he has always been a fighter and chose to live his life too the best of his ability. I know it’s a different diagnosis than yours they are both chronic and life changing. I think you both have so much to offer to this life by just being the awesome people you are. I will continue to watch your videos and cannot wait to tell my son about you. He used to be a big time gamer and has a dark beard. Keep going strong and sending good vibes.

    You show so much modesty and consideration in your answers, and you said this thing that is 'out of your control', how does someone accept this? It looks simple, but is a hard and complicated process of understanding and living it. We hardly accept things we don't like in our life, from not having enough sugar in our coffee to dealing with our own mortality, we just like having control.

    The scariest part to me is that pain and discomfort won't get better, it will get worse until I die. Medication helps but the usual coping mechanism of knowing it will get better doesn't work because I know it won't. The main thing I'm afraid of is the last days before I die, they're going to be the worst.

    Hey , I'm a new sub. Something bought me to your channel for a reason. I'm battling stage e with secondary in my spine and gastro tract and kidney issues. You sound like such a genuine, warm, gentle and kind soul. I don't think we can think about delaying treatment or chemo etc and that possibly being a cause later on of something else. The treatment we have is brutal, both mentally and takes a tol on our bodies. We have to have a quality of life, with pain management, good days with more energy to do the things in life that make us feel alive. The cigaretts, red meat etc, chemo you pushed back may not have made a difference to anything. I know others who run marathons, eat healthy and clean, don't smoke, do drugs, drink and sleep 8 hours a day and love their jobs. It's nothing we do. It just seems that this, just finds too many people and it's not fair. Nothing is definate with our treatment. I've certainly put off mine to have a better quality of life for a while. You're such an inspiration and been through so much more than me, and yet you're so calm, collected and in control of this. I know we all have days, weeks and moments which just hit us like a wave and flood our thoughts. Emotions run high and I find it hard to just carry on sometimes. Doom is an awesome, classic game. Hugs and best wishes. Hoping you have more good days buddy. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best each day. I'm in the UK England. x

    Watching your video is an odd experience. I have always found cancer fascinating, and I found your channel when I was doing research into colon cancer. But watching your video, you see a person and not the illness because you see so many people just kind of give up or lose themselves, so it is nice to see just a normal dude going through this and being like, yeah, I'm chill.

    Last year I was diagnosed with a low grade bladder cancer which certainly got my attention. But fortunately it was a kind that was/is very treatable. I had 6 weeks of immunotherapy which has a very high effective rate for my kind of cancer. So far so good. I will have lots of follow ups but that’s fine. I’m retired so I have plenty of time to deal with it. I don’t know why I’m telling you my story other than to say I’ve been in the cancer club too. My brother was too but he got a bad kind and he wasn’t as fortunate. Cancer is simply a beast.
    Best of luck you. I will be following you.

Everyone has a story and I am happy the feedback you’re getting is helping you. I worked in hospice for several years and that experience changed me, forever and for the good. Learned a lot, took care of a lot of good people, married couples for 72 years to young parents with children under 6, veteran’s…..we’ve all walked different paths, came from different walks of life, some people have good support, some don’t….having compassion is key, we can all be kind, listen and help if we can. I’m sorry for this diagnosis, you can help others, and are in these videos….I love your cool headed take on life and humor is invaluable! Stay positive kiddo, I’m rooting for you.

    Really enjoyed watching this. My dad has had a lifetime of bowel problems (not had to have any surgery though) and he found Arrowroot was the best thing for loose bowels. It’s a completely natural form of starch (sometimes called arrowroot flour or arrowroot powder) and has almost no taste. Various ways to consume it depending on what food you like. There are even arrowroot biscuits (what you call cookies) which are quite plain and have a moderate amount baked in. Dad would alternate between diarrhoea and constipation when taking medication for it but the arrowroot is a bit more consistent.
    Give it a google.

    If you don't mind I have some suggestions that might help with your stoma. Firstly, drink plenty of water, I know it sounds counter- intuitive but your body needs it especially with a high output stoma, but sip it your stomach can't absorb a great rush of water. Secondly try having six or seven small meals a day and make sure there is carbohydrates in them, pasta rice potatoes etc. Milk shakes, Ice-cream, chips (french fries) mashed potatoes and jelly babies (jubes) are good. When you eat meat make sure it is shredded. Some foods don't digest well, mushrooms, peas and corn are just a few, chop or mash them finely. You do need tons of protein, as it really helps you heal, so eggs and beans are good (if somewhat noisy). I would make extra and freeze smaller amounts so it was already there waiting, get family and friends to do this when they cook - as long as they a decent cooks. Thirdly stay away from highly processed foods (pop tarts probably come under this heading) look at the ingredients on the packaging the bigger the list usually the higher the processing, and if there are lots of numbers listed, you really don't want to go there. Don't eat or drink anything with artificial sweeteners or nitrates or sulphates, ham, salami etc - they may and usually do cause a very liquid output. Fourthly make sure that when you a prescribed medication it is not time release it can be in and out of your system before you get the full benefit. I hope you dont mind these suggestions, they are from my personal experience. I wish you the absolute best, you certainly have so many good wishes and love from around the world. Take care Jennifer

    Hello matey. Wishing you nothing but good stuff. I've a wee knowhow on this illness, what with my ickle mum having kicked its arse 4 times. However, the first three bouts (the third of which very nearly took her life) were when i was a kiddy during the 80s. The forth bout she endured was exactly 30 years after her third bout & i, being her carer at the time, took charge in her recovery & healing. I researched supplements 3 of which are known to be anti big C; Curcumin, Lions Mane & Selenium. I have mum take a few others for overall health like omega 3, magnesium, zinc, B complex plus a few others. BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT.....one huge benefit to your recovery will be to drastically lower your sugar intake especially glucose (forget bloody jelly babies!!!!). The big C feds & grows on sugar. And no processed proteins. I put mum on a virtually sugar free diet. Mums been big C free now for 5 years. She turns 80 this year. All she wanted was to see me reach the age of 18.... I'm 45. I'll check in with you again soon. Remember.....no friggin sugar!😉
