      Honestly, the Green brothers are some of the best parts of the internet. I’ve been following since ‘09 and they are genuinely great people who are effecting positive change in the world. They are the best of us and encourage all to try to be the best version of ourselves possible. I could go on, but their positive influence on the world cannot be understated. And they’re just very normal (if extremely talented, hardworking) individuals and I think that is a critical form of representation needed online nowadays with all the trash-influencers spreading around like wildfire.

    I think young folks with cancer diagnoses are also worried about cost. As someone who is currently dealing with this, my husband has and is getting treatment for cancer, and it's completely drained our measly savings and cost us so much money. Over $10,000 out of pocket, of which we're paying what we can monthly for. And obviously I want my husband to get treatment and get better, but we did have some very serious conversations about him not wanting to be here, him feeling guilty about how expensive it was, and what more we could do to be able to afford it. I'm thankful he has a therapist to help get through the mental strain. But yeah, we're gunna have to live with this medical debt for a long time.

      You have to connect with the social worker at the hospital or treatment center where your husband goes. There are so many organizations that give out grants for people in your position. 👋🏻 Hi. I’ve had cancer for ten years. 😊 Most of the grants I received were around a thousand dollars. There was also an organization in my area that paid bills for you. So they paid our mortgage for a few months and a car payment and an electric bill. All of that added up and kept us from losing our house (for now). Look in to disability. Medicaid/Medicare. A lot of things depend on your type of cancer and income, but it never hurts to try. I have a very deadly type of cancer. So I was approved for disability automatically. It’s not that way for most people. And lastly, just google cancer charities. Usually you have to fill out a short form and write a paragraph about your situation. It is worth the time. Good luck. And tell your husband this stranger is proud of him!

      I was recently diagnosed at the age of 40 with 2 young kids. So many people have asked me if I'm going to keep working. I have to keep working. My health insurance is through my job and my company is so small they don't have to offer FMLA (not that 12 weeks even comes close to enough time). But at least my health insurance is very, very good. If I manage to stay employed, it will only cost me my monthly premium and the gas (and parking fees) to get to my appointments and treatments.

    It was really good being able to hear you both discussing Hank's cancer journey. I've been diagnosed with a slow-growing lymphoma myself, and it's been difficult dealing with the lack of treatment because I haven't met the threshold to get treatment yet. The danger of cancer in my body isn't more dangerous than the effects of chemo, and so I just have to sit here and wait. I thinks it's really important to talk about these things. Thank you for this discussion. And thank you Hank, for documenting your journey and teaching us more about cancer and cancer treatment. It's definitely helped to soothe some of my worries.

      That must be frightening and stressful, to know you have cancer and just have to wait around for it to get worse. You can't really get into that "fighting for your life" mentality. I feel like I wouldn't even want to know I have cancer until something can be done about it, but that's probably not a great way to think about it. There's gotta be some middle ground between "knowing each and every disease you're genetically more disposed to" and "being wilfully ignorant of your health".
      I wish all the best to you on your journey!

His videos on his process and treatment of Cancer really helps me in terms of understanding and dealing with my mothers cancer treatments and brings me a bit closer to understanding what a person going through cancer thinks etc. Fantastic guy for sure. Love you Mom

    Can we consider Hank Green a philosopher in our time. Because all the learning and things he’s doing for community. His big thoughts on the world and our existence and the goals in life. He’s got pupils that follow him to learn. He rights himself when he gets it wrong. I think he is the great philosopher of our time.

    I loved that you spoke with Hank and I love that he's doing stand-up about his journey through cancer. When he found out, I was so worried and concerned for him and his family. Then, I found out that we have autoimmune disorders/diseases under the big umbrella of autoimmune diseases and we take a similar type of injection that can cause cancer. Not to turn it on myself, but I did start to think about the what ifs. Then, I found out in November that I had endometrial cancer, which the stats are not great for. I had to have emergency surgery for a hysterectomy at 40, which is very young for this type of cancer (median age is 62). Thankfully, it was caught early enough that it had not spread, and the removal of uterus and other parts was enough that I didn't have to go through chemo or radiation.
    However, there was a month before the surgery, where I had the similar thoughts as Hank about take that dark leap. I felt inadequate for my family and support system, especially since I'm also disable, and I just wish that more people spoke about these things. The dark, the bad, the ugly, and the good.
    I wish I'd had someone to speak to that I wouldn't burden. Therapy would have been great, but the medical bills I already have and the small income I bring in doesn't allow me to take take care of all my medical needs, like most people in the States. As is, I'll never get out of medical debt and the cancer just piled another 10k on top of what I already owe. (Medical insurance covered a little over 90% of it, otherwise...)
    Anyway, I know this is long and I added a lot of my own personal stuff, but I'm so proud and thankful for Hank speak honestly and truthfully about these things.
    And thank you to Anthony for expanding the platform to let more people know about this.
    Now, it's time for a Hank Green Netflix Comedy Special!!
    Blessings and kind, healing thoughts to all. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

    I have watched him for many years and I was diagnosed with the same kind of cancer (I think slightly higher stage) 2 weeks before Hank announced his to the world. It was so comforting to see someone else going through what I was going through and it really made me feel not so alone. So thanks Hank even if it did make you the "cancer guy", (which I dont think you were) for a bit you've helped me so much on my own journey and Im sure many others aswell.

    I really appreciate Hank’s honesty here, both the good and bad impacts from cancer diagnosis/treatment. I’m the spouse of someone who’s gone through cancer treatments (so a little different) but yeah I’m also working through the added anxiety from that and got myself into therapy as well. You can experience both the highest of highs and the lowest of lows during that period. I look forward to hopefully hearing his stand up. Unfortunately couldn’t make it when he was in my area 😢

    One of my very good friends recently passed from her cancer and one of the things we enjoyed together was the nerdfigjter community. On twitter shortly after Hank announced to us what was happening with him, she and him a few short interactions on twitter or threads about ports and getting them putting and removed. I remember reading them after the fact and just marveling over how funny they both were about this terrible thing that was actively killing my friend.
    It was a beautiful thing to experience.
    I’m happy Hank is doing better and happy that my friend got to laugh with him for a moment.

    Hank Green is genuinely one of my biggest role models. And I don't say this to put pressure on him or to put him on an unrealistic pedestal, but if I were to have a role model it would be him. Obviously he's smart and funny, but also vulnerable and kind and introspective and creative. Tolerant and fun and ironic and open. He's like that one kid who has a bunch of different not-necessarily-related interests/hobbies/talents/skills, but instead of losing them/only focusing on one part as they grow up to become the boring adult society wants them to be, he remained multifaceted and embraced all of his creative outlets and ideas. He's not afraid of growth and trying new things, even as an adult, which I admire so much. He gives so much and shares so much, and I've learnt a lot from that. He's inspiring - he was even before cancer and his current self-discovery journey - and now he's arguably even more so because he took his diagnosis as an opportunity to learn and spread awareness (not just about cancers and education around cancer, but about mental health). Even though he didn't have to, he also let us in on the vulnerable and reflective state he was/is in - proving that living with medical diagnoses doesn't have to be lonely or "the end" or kept secret or entirely depressing, even though they can be. He is a prime example that life goes on, that it isn't always the end, that it may be difficult and that's okay. I especially learnt a lot from his reflections about death, about being labeled as "the cancer guy" and on how people always think "it could never happen to me" but then it does, and how he kept trying new things. He has taught me so much, not just about science or UA-cam or cancer, but also about emotions and the human experience. Thank you Hank Green, if you're seeing this.

    I didn't grow up with Hank and John like so many people my age, but I will say that Hank has been a consistent presence through two significant times in my life.
    In 2020, I discovered Crash Course when I was looking for something to distract myself during lockdown. I ended up binging almost all of the series throughout the year and still watch the latest episodes to this day.
    And then, last year, Hank announced his diagnosis around the same time my father got diagnosed with cancer as well. I would send Hank's videos to my parents not only for educational purposes but also for some relief as we entered this very uncertain time in our family. I already knew a lot about chemo by the time my dad had his own chemo, I showed my dad the video of Hank talking about his portacath before his own surgery and I sort of commiserated when Hank talked about radiation therapy because my dad had already finished his before going into surgery and then chemo.
    I hope if/when Hank reads this he takes this as a compliment. Because his knowledge sharing has definitely made an impact in my life (and my family's) when I needed it most.

  • @threeleggedcat

    I have always had a lot of medical anxiety, especially surrounding cancer, like at times just hearing the word would make me dizzy, and following Hank's journey with it helped so much, it made it less of a terrifying unknown, and hearing about the treatments, all the scientific facts just made it so much more digestable, I'm so thankful that he shared it the way he did.

The telegraph could go very far distances instantly which was literally never a thing humans could do until then.

    The best way to channel nervous energy is to try and replace that feeling with being excited.

Sweaty hands from being excited sounds better than anxiety sweat. I hope that makes sense lol

    Out of any of these beautiful, heavy-turned-light topics, I was tearing up as Hank was describing the new study hall project. With a disclaimer that I think Anthony's journey is amazing, the work he's doing is interesting and important, this doesn't take away from that... I don't think there has been a person with a platform and approach to that platform like Hank Green since maybe Fred Rogers. Not necessarily in the same way or with the same deep young-childhood nostalgia that Mr. Rogers holds, but with the humble dedication to being _kind,_ to doing their actual, genuine, _human_ best to just... to just help.
