@@itsgraceUA-cam offered to “translate this to English” for me lol
I picture you holding Pom Poms! =)
Going through breast cancer at the same time as you has made me feel a lot better. I appreciate you posting your journey, it can feel weird with how often I’m going to the hospital and I haven’t been working for months but your positivity makes me just feel like I’m not alone. We got this girl!
it's all very weird but yes we do got this!
Ugh I'm so sorry. Hope you are feeling well
Well said fellow warrior! It can be so isolating. You’re not alone! I’m NED as of March, but it’s been a hell of a year. It’s so hard and no one else gets it. Def not alone, girl. Sending love!
@@itsgrace your doing well considering the circumstances, it could be really easy to be in an awful mood, and you seem to be staying positive and I know we aren’t seeing your whole life but what we are seeing your handling it very well, should be proud.
I'll be praying for you, too.
Been watching you for YEARS and am so proud of the person you’ve become. We’re all rooting for you grace ❤️
We love you grace we are rooting for you through this fight crush this fucker #fuckcancer kick cancers ass
echoing this
Same!! All rooting for you 🙏♥️
Daily Grace Fam iykyk
@@ajoy__"i dont know" :)
I just finished chemo round 6 of 12 for my colorectal cancer. Making the nurses laugh is my GOAL. I’m glad I’m not alone there lol. Being a delight to others is my motto! ❤
LOVE that motto. Wishing you the best!!
yesss!
Wishing you health and healing Carrie!
Yes! More than half way there!! Amazing! You can do this! My mom's motto was "just because I'm having a shit day, doesn't mean I have the right to make your day shit too, so I'll be nice to you. Even if it's hard"😂
@@LostEveryMarble♥ ♥
I'm so glad you mentioned ADVOCATING for yourself. This is especially important for women. I've seen doctors literally ignore my wife's statements unless I echoed them. Until they start training doctors better, please, always speak up!
yes!
I’ve worked in a hospital for over a decade and couldn’t agree more…there’s some great doctors out there…and some that just suck, and you really have to figure out how to stand up for yourself and ask for what you need
I have a progressive disorder so the older I get the more drs offices/hospital rooms I end up seeing. I was so used to being ignored and treated poorly until my mother in law-who works at a dr office- started coming with me while wearing her scrubs 😂 am I a grown adult going to see drs with a parent? Yep! But do they give SO MUCH MORE information and treat me more seriously now that they see another medical staff member in the room? YEP!! 🤣
@@hannahbarrett1221 Thanks for sharing that, Hannah! I bet people could order a set of scrubs off Amazon. I mean, I don't think it's illegal to wear them - Just allow people to assume things. I'm glad your MIL is there for you!
She manages to make this process look normal and not terrifying 💕
Agree!
💯%!
I am a triple negative breast cancer survivor. I’m 2 yrs cancer free. I just wanted to say thank you for using your platform to tell your story! You are brave and strong and you will beat cancers ass! You are my triple positive to my triple negative 💜
My mom had that type of cancer, she passed away last year. I miss her every single day. But it made me so happy To hear that there is people like you that recovered. Sending you hugs
Kudos to you ❤
@@MarmotayTaiwan I’m so sorry for your loss. May she rest in power ❤️
One thing I learned from my doctor, not sure if others know, so worth sharing. If your mother had it, the recommend you get your first mammogram at the age 10 years before your mom was diagnosed (if it’s before the recommended age to start) . For example, if your mom was diagnosed at 40, you should get your mammogram at 30.
Great tip!
“I wanna be where the people are, but there’s no fuckin’ way I can be where the people are” absolutely killed me. I’m glad you’re taking care of you and your little humour light ball of a soul 💛.
As a chemo patient this kills me i had floor seats to Taylor swift and couldn’t go because it was a day before chemo 😂😢
I’m a month younger than you and I’m getting my first mammogram tomorrow morning! I found something that I want to get checked, and I got in almost right away. Thank you for sharing this process with us ❤
so glad you're getting checked!
NO ONE warned me about the fatigue. I was prepared for nausea, throwing up, pooping, hair loss. The fatigue was the worst by far.
Grace is such a Libra, lol. (I'm the same way.) Could be going through absolute hell and crying alone in the bathroom, but still gotta make that good impression and put on a pleasant countenance or at least charm in public! 😂 Grace, you are doing so well, you got this!
you get it!
I'm so happy grace FINALLY showed the biore strip thing. It's been years since she mentioned it on tmgw and I've always tried to imagine what that looked like. So glad to put that one to rest. Thank you
once you see it you can't unsee it
@@itsgrace first off I'm gonna throw up at the fact that you replied to me. Holy cow this give me only one chance to say that you and Mamrie are the main influence of the podcast I host with my bestie called Chill Vibes Only. Now if somehow you actually read that ad I also wanted to say it gave "I just found out in a production of Cats and I have to make my own costume"
Just in case nobody has told you... You are doing a great job.
thank you!!
Honestly as a chronically ill girly, seeing you hype yourself up. Being nervous but telling yourself your brave. Is so validating and soothing. Thank you for sharing this journey. As someone who respects you so much, it really is affecting me positively.
To Grace and all of the other people in these comments who are fighting cancer, I am proud of you. I am in awe of you. You are going to win! ❤
Well said!
I just found Grace's videos and am currently fighting stage 3 breast cancer. Your comment put a smile on my face. Thank you.
My mom just got diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Thank you for sharing your journey. It is helping me a lot.
The fact that Nathan sent you a Disney Adult starter pack is adorable. Thank you for showing us part of your journey in showing cancer who is the real boss. Slay, Queen, Slay.
Fellow fatigue girlie stuck in the bed today super proud of you for brushing your hair and teeth and washing your face! Also, fellow Disney adult. There is a way to be one without being the one of lore. Lots of love!
enjoy that bed today!
I know that feeling. Not a cancer patient just dealing with chronic fatigue.
I've never had cancer, but I've had chronic illness and autoimmune disorders since I was 3. Trying to describe fatigue to people who have never truly experienced it is impossible. So sorry you're on this journey, but you're such a light. I know you're going to crush it. Love how you're setting small goals. Getting to the couch on bad fatigue days is such a mountain, but you're doing it! Sending you light and love every day, Grace! I've always loved watching you. You've always been amazing company on my own illness journey.
small goals are huge!
@@itsgraceI second all of this!! I also have several chronic illnesses and have always found any Grace content to be such a light for me in dark times! ❤
Echoing this with two autoimmune diseases. It’s exhausted to exist. 🩷
@@AndreaLogan Sometimes it is, but there are so many beautiful things and people in this world. :)
I’m in the same boat as you and you’re so right! It’s honestly impossible trying to explain it. I hope you have some good days coming your way where you feel well and happy! ☺️
I’ve been a full time patient for the last 3 years and the way you summed up how day to day feels in treatment/being in the healthcare system really made me feel seen. Your nurses are lucky to have you in their care and you are DOIN THE THING BABYYYYY🥹🌼🩵
i see you
I haven't watched you in years. I had no idea you were going through this! I'm praying for your good health and God's mercy and GRACE, Grace! 🙏
Been watching you long enough that it feels like we’re friends irl, like we’ve been figuring out life together. It’s an honor to get to walk through this with you, too. Here for the laughs, wherever they come. Love you, Grace!
I had to have surgery a couple of times this summer (I'm totally fine, just a weird random thing), and I NEEDED to be delightful to the nurses. My husband said I needed to win surgery. And I did win surgery. The nurses LOVED me. So, you go win chemo girl!
i understand this deeply lol
felt this deeply, nurses would come in my room to hide and i felt so amazing about that😭
Say it with me class: “I need it notated in my medical record that you’re refusing to run tests due to my age/gender/diagnosis.”
Doctors will suddenly take you much more seriously
I'm only 31 but I get mammograms every 6 months now because I'm considered high risk after my mom, grandma and 2 aunts were all diagnosed (they all beat it - yay!) It was way less awkward and less painful than I thought it would be! and like you said the peace of mind it gives me is so worth it. For anyone nervous about getting one or talking to your doctor about it, I promise you don't have to be! There is nothing more important than being proactive about your health.
I'm so glad you've felt comfortable sharing your journey and being so open about everything Grace. It's going to help so many people. Sending you all the love - you got this!
exactly this!!
You're such a trooper Grace. I just want to crawl through the screen and pat you on the head and tell you I'm proud of you. You're a real life superhero!
You're the best of us, Grace. Keep going!
My mum always talked about her mammograms' and how much she hated them. I feel like I know way too much about them. Great to see your editing style in 2023 and how it's evolved. Great information, self advocacy is incredibly important especially now and love the video!
“I wanna be where the people are” & “there is no f*cking way I can be where the people are” LOL so relatable, even without poison in my veins. It sounds like it should be a Tik Tok sound 😂
love you Grace. been watching for years, met you on your book signing tour, and happy to see your positivity throughout this process. I can only imagine how you're feeling. Thank you for sharing.
Actually checked my breast whilst watching this, thank you for the reminder Grace ❤
nice!
Your positivity and optimism through this process are so inspiring. I am helping my mom navigate her cancer diagnosis and it can be so hard. I admire your attitude through this so much ❤
Grace I’ve been a fan/follower since the end days of daily grace and you three were filming camp takota. I was a fresh baby just out of college. I’m in my early 30s now, married, and the mom of a toddler. Anyway I feel like I grew up (in adulthood) with/just behind you and it’s been so cool watching you grow and change and find your niche.
All that to say I hope you kick this cancer in the bootyhole and take no prisoners. You’ve got this!
I was completely disconnected to Grace for years, she just kinda fell off my radar for a while. Since seeing a video on tiktok of her updating people with the diagnosis I have been checking in regularly and I have to say, I absolutely missed you Grace. I have needed your mildly chaotic anxious energy for such a long time. You won't be dropping off my radar again any time soon.
I am incredibly impressed by your attitude during this. I’m 28 years old and was diagnosed with thymoma in January, which is a rare cancer that grows from the thymus gland in your chest. I had surgery Feb 5th to remove the 18cm tumor and the areas of local metastasis in my chest, which was greatly successful. Now I’m in the process of meeting with oncology and they’re saying the plan is for chemo and radiation. And I’m terrified. But your videos are helpful and your attitude is helping me to try to see things differently before I start this process. So thank you, Grace. You have handled this with grace.
What a sweet, wonderful, inspiring and ✨ authentic ✨ vlog! Your positive attitude (even though I’m sure there are times where it’s different and that’s okay!!!) through all of this is amazing! You’ve got this, you’re kicking cancer’s butt so freaking hard ❤
It is truly amazing how wonderful a space a cancer center can actually be. I went twice a week, every week with my grandfather, and everyone there, patients, staff, and volunteers alike, were so sweet, so kind, so funny. You really think it's going to be sad and bleak, but it just isn't. Everyone there is committed to the fight. Thinking of you often, Grace. ❤
I know, the nurses are SO NICE
I’ve had a few stints in the hospital due to my seizure disorder, and my nurses and I call the machines that you’re attached to, that give you your fluids “Ralph” because he’s that overprotective boyfriend that won’t leave you alone. It always kept it a little lighter/gave us a good little chuckle. It’s the small things in the hospital.
You got this Grace!
lol ralph is so awkward and clingy
My dad is going through a cancer diagnosis, we haven’t started treatment yet, but it is so good to watch your videos, Grace! I don’t know why, but seeing you share your story just somehow helps settle nerves. So thank you for choosing to share you story and making the effort to make videos for us.
You are doing so great! And I really like how you set your own bars, that’s the way to go!
Beating that thing one day at a time!
I hope we will also face it with same grace and force that you do! (No pun intended, by the way😄)
Your energy is so contagious, thanks for being your delightful self
hahahah I DIED at the reenactment of Marie and Grace together.
Grace I've been watching for years, and I really wanna make sure you know I have you in my thoughts, and that I'm so thankful for you advocating for mental health and now for women's health. Also I'm so happy you're still doing the TMGW podcast, it's so funny (but also don't feel bad if you ever need a break obviously!)
Sending love and strength to you. I’m currently going through a skull base bone cancer diagnosis. While watching your videos has made me a little emotional and teary, it’s also very comforting so thank you for sharing ❤
Praying for you both! 🫂♥️
@@JonasBrotherLuver122 thank you so much ❤️
you got this!
@@itsgrace thank you so much Grace, we’ve both got this!
I'm really glad I can help you get through a hard time. You've helped me so much for over a decade, even though you never knew. Love you!
I just love you so much. Your positivity and humor is so comforting. I hope you know you’re a rockstar! You are going to kick this cancers ass
I’m getting a lumpectomy on Thursday and ik it’s not nearly as intense as actual breast cancer but watching your videos has helped me stay calm through this whole process. I can’t thank you enough for being so open about your breast cancer journey 💕
Good luck!! Remember breathing helps!💪🏻💪🏻
@@itsgrace thank you!! 🩷
i loved this vlog!!!! i didn’t realized how much i missed this form of content, you’re really good at it! if you’re ever creatively strapped, this was so fun to watch and i hope it was fun to make too :)
Proud of you Grace thank you for sharing your journey with us, love you
Thanks for keeping us updated and sharing with us Grace. We love you
It's so good to see you making this experience as positive as possible❤ We love you Grace
You saying “goober” while wearing an orange hoodie made me want circus peanut candy so insanely bad. The brain is a mysterious place. Thanks for sharing your journey 🥰
hi grace and everybody else maybe going through cancer treatment! i highly recommend everybody use a N95 mask when indoors/at treatment because it is SO MUCH BETTER at protecting you from getting any kind of sick. i love the 3M aura mask, it's so comfy and breathable compared to the surgical masks. much love to yall!!
Agreed! Hank wore masks while filming with John.
Seeing you in the actual chemo chair broke my heart. You have bought so much joy and comfort to us over the years. I hope we can return the favor during this for you. we’re with you the entire way Helbig.
Grace, thank you. You inspire me. Things in my life feel incredibly unsettled and unsettling, but seeing you push through while still keeping your wonderful personality and sense of humor Is giving me life. Thank you for being you and for bringing us on part of your journey. I hope you're feeling better and keeping your head up. So many people the world over love you and are rooting for you!!
💓💓💓
Wanted to let you know I really appreciate you sharing your journey so intimately. I recently had a lump myself and your videos on Instagram really pushed me to get checked ASAP. My mammogram came back with just a dense breast diagnosis but your videos really help to take the scariness away from having to go through this stupid disease. So thank you so much for this and keep on taking that power away from the cancer. ✊
so glad you got it checked and everything's okay!
her job is just couch and she's doing amazing at it damn
I really appreciate you putting yourself out there like this, telling us your story as you experience it. I’m sure it’s demystifying cancer for a lot of people. Who may feel less overwhelmed seeking help for symptoms or supporting a loved one. Wish you all the love ✌️
I'm going through the fear of this possibility right now. My left breast has been feeling "off" for a month now. Pain, throbbing, burning, aching, heaviness.... I was checked manually and the dr felt dense tissue where my pain is coming from, so I have my first mammogram and ultrasound scheduled for next week. My gut is telling me that it's cancer and I can't stop thinking about it, because I'm literally feeling it every day and night. I'm so afraid, not for myself, but for my 3yr old son. I couldn't bear leaving him without a mother. This is helping - thank you.
You got this Grace! I know how incapacitated one can feel after a round of chemo and I’m sure you’re getting all the caregiving snd support from your loved ones right now. Your people can truly be the best medicine and I hope that we all can help be that for you in addition to your family!
i followed your enthusiasm, care, and communication - but fuzzed the content to be able to comment on. styling was so great too.
you put Taryn Southern on my radar - thank you so much / take care so much!
Duvet cover trick:
Step 1:
Lay out comforter flat on the floor or bed.
Step 2:
Flip duvet inside out.
Step 3:
Lay duvet over top of comforter.
Step 4:
Use a chip clip to connect the bottom corners of the duvet and the comforter.
Step 5:
Flip the duvet right side out with the comforter attached.
Step 6:
Reach in and take off the chip clips when complete.
Its the same theory as when you make a pillow case or quilt or something that needs flipped and filled. Saves hours with duvets. Good luck!
How do you have the ability to make me laugh more than anything else today when you're going through all this?! It's a gift! You are indeed a "delight." :)
Good god I have it paused on Monday after you said the stuff about wanting to be productive and then not and then "I'm in this dialogue now" and like GRACE I love you so much like its unbelievable to me. thank you for being here. i missed you in the youtube space
Watched a lot of your videos like a decade ago when I was living abroad by myself. Back then, you really helped me out. Hope sending some support from Northern Michigan helps you out.
You got this Grace! Love the honesty and openness of you sharing your story. It’s so interesting to see what goes on during chemo and how it makes you feel.
I've been watching Grace since I was in highschool. I'm not sure why, but I got teary-eyed when watching this. I'm so proud of her, and please keep in mind that we love you and are always here for you!
I was diagnosed at 31 in 2019. I wish I had recorded more of what I did. A lot of my memories of that time are fuzzy and lost because it was just a LOT to process.
it's so much to process and also chemo brian is no joke. I'm forgetting so many things immediately after they happen 🫠
hugs and kisses from denmark, started watching you since about 2012-13! kicks cancers butt!
Appreciate this openness with your process. A couple of friend went through lymphoma and blood cancer during covid, was not able to join them physically during the ride and every time they would tell me the stories of chemo sessions i would picture them not like this hahaah i always thought it was painful. They are both in remission, two years and one year respectively. You got this ❤
A Grace vlog makes a Monday morning so much better! Thanks for taking us on even just a small part of this journey with you.
The way you positively describe scary things is amazing and inspiring
Much love, hope you get better soon. You've been one of my favorite youtubers since I was in high school now I'm a teacher and I love that I can still watch you. I'm the oldest in my family so you always felt like an older sister guide. I wish you all of the health and happiness in the world. I love that you talked about wanting to do shit and not doing anything as someone chronically ill I struggle with feeling unproductive but also needing rest days. 😊
I’m so happy you’re back vlogging
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Round 9/16 for me tomorrow.
Got diagnosed with breast cancer at age 24, so thank you for spreading awareness, that - yes - young people can also get it.
Love you Grace! Still cracking us up through tough times, that’s our girl💖💪🏽
Thank you for the pore unclogging tip, here's a tip for putting the duvet cover on: turn the cover so it is inside out and find the corners, then get the top corners of your duvet grab them with your hands still in the corners of the cover and then shake/flap maybe even turn it into a dance, the cover will eventually cover properly the last thing to do is tuck the bottom corners in and button it up (I hope that made sense) 😊X
Long time fan, thank you for sharing this journey. You are saving lives.
I'm so happy to see you are powering through this journey.
I’m a fashion design major and this a semester I’m learning about sustainability and never knew/considered that some of the rising Brest cancer links to micro plastics in clothing (stretchy/non cotton bras, leggings, undergarments, etc), and it works in the same or a similar way to BPA with water bottles if that makes sense, and our skin is considered an organ/absorbs it. Ofc check it out for yourselves, but after learning about this changed a bit of how I think about clothing
Healthy blessed hugs 🤗 from Boston!
Grace! Thank you for reminding us "younger women" (medical field terms) to trust our instincts and get checked. I am 25 years old and have been trying to find a gynecologist for my irregular periods. The first 2 doctors I saw said I was too young and seemed healthy based on my lab results but my third doctor finally listened to me and I was able to get a referral from them! We found out that I do have a small growth based on my ultrasound and will be looking into it some more with my gynecologist. So again, thank you for encouraging us to advocate for ourselves because sadly, us "younger" women often tend to get shut down by doctors. Wishing you all the best, you are an inspiration xx
Your attitude this round is so fucking positive! You're doing so great! I'm glad to see you in good spirits. Keep it up Grace! You got this.
"I thought I knew what fatigue was... but I did not". I don't know chemo, but I do know ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and I felt that line to my core. I wish healthy people could get to flip a switch and feel what it's like just for a tiny bit, I never knew to appreciate the days I had energy until I started having a lot of days where I did not. If they could feel what the word tired can mean, they too could learn to appreciate the good days which is honestly one of the best things about being chronically ill, you learn to appreciate things you used to take for granted.
it definitely helps me appreciate even the small bits of energy!
@@itsgrace Exactly! I do one task and I feel like I earned a medal :3
Round 2 done and the way you're going through is still really impressive! And it's cool that you picked up "Notes on a Nervous Planet". I think you're gonna like it.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I was diagnosed with stage 1B (lymph node involvement) breast cancer last summer. Had a double mastectomy, 8 rounds of chemo, and 25 rounds of daily radiation. I’m now No Evidence of Disease (NED) 🎉🥳😄💜I will be having reconstructive surgery on November 16th, finally.
I’ve met several other cancer warriors. No matter the treatment plan, cancer is a trauma and it’s a LOT physically, mentally, and emotionally. And it’s so hard to make yourself rest.
Just, thank you for sharing. No one knows what it’s like unless they’ve had cancer.
Thank you for showing what it’s like so others know. It’s a big deal and I appreciate you.
Sending all the love and strength on your your journey.
You’ve totally got this. 💪💖
Amazing!! Best of luck with the surgery!!
My life is different now because of you. Over the years you have literally made me laugh until I cried but now I'm crying for real. Not only are you crushing this cancer but you are doing it with such strength and courage and, dare I say it...Grace! I wish I could give you the biggest hug. Thank you for being brave enough to share.
Regarding cleaning out pores: The boring, skin care UA-camr-y answer is gonna be BHAs, specifically salicylic acid. There’s also some serums that people use to massage the sebaceous filaments and gunk out of the pores, namely the mixsoon Bean Essence, if I’m not mistaken. I haven’t personally tried that one tho. I use salicylic acid and maybe once every other month I use one of these pore vacuums which you’re also not really supposed to do, haha!
I'm so glad that you are having a good reaction to your meds. When I was fighting cancer, I was on a treatment that completely fucked me up. I have zero memory of what happened in between my treatment.
ooof yeah so far they're okay 🤞🏻
Thank you for sharing this with us, Grace. You're not alone and neither are we- and it's kinda nice to know that. Please continue to take care!
LOVED that bit of Psychobabble promo - great to see your experience Grace, I hope things have been alright!
You are so blessed that Chemo hasn't totally kicked your butt.
My first time doing 9 rounds of chemo was hell.
I've been fighting breast cancer for 3 years now. I'm praying you for you Grace. Keep up with positive attitude
Thank you sooo much for this. I finished my battle a few months ago.. what a wild ride to say the least! What you’re doing in vlogging this might feel weird and silly but it is SO important. Thank you so so much x
💓
I’m rooting for you SO HARD Grace!
I've been watching you for over a decade since the DailyGrace days. I'll pray that you stay strong and beat this.
Love you, Grace! Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Sending lots of strength and support to you and your loved ones!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so beautiful and positive ❤I am hoping and praying you will be the winner, you will beat cancer's ass!! You can do it, Grace! Sending my love to you and all cancer fighters out there ❤❤❤❤
Praying for all in this journey
Going through breast cancer stage 3 chemo myself seeing your volgs makes me feel normal, my emotions have been all over the place.
Thank you for sharing your journey picked up few tips ❤
GRACE! I love this so so much. Thank you for being so open, and for sharing your positivity in the face of frickin' crap cancer. Rooting for you!!
