Much love OPT. I have so much empathy, I've had to have 60% of my stomach removed. Mine was separate from my cancer, but I've dealt with a lot of the same things you're going through. Just wanting you to know you're not alone and sending you so much healing love strength and support. ❤️ Edit to add, cancer owns my family. My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer when he was 52. Mindset is everything. Everything! He always believed he would beat it. We did finally lose him at 55, it doesn't seem like much, but after he passed his Oncologist came to us and told us my dad was the reason he never ever gave his patients "time left". If he had he would have given my dad literally days. He never believed or understood how my dad managed 3 years. His body, even his bones, were that ravished with cancer when they found it. He swore it was shear mindset and willpower that kept my dad living. Believe you'll beat this. Believe in your quality of life, there is something to you being home even if you don't see it now. But your willpower will take you far. I promise ❤️
I am so sorry that you’re going through this. Sending love and positive thoughts. My wife was a hospice nurse and has experience with these things, so if you need a sounding board, let us know.
Chin up. You’re a bad ass. You’ve got this. We’re all cheering you on from all over the world. Do what you need to do to beat this. I’m so glad your dad is available to be there to help you out. I’m sure you’re getting some amazing quality time together. You haven’t made it this far to give up. Think of your life as a book. The tough stuff in the beginning just makes the victory even sweeter in the next chapter. Sending hugs!
Hi OPT, thinking about you guy, happy you are home. So many people have your back and love you and my prayers are with you💜✝️💜🙏 Family is so important and am also happy that your dad is there with you❤
I'm so very impressed by your ability to talk about your Cancer, my friend ... and all the wonderful medical fun stuff; which it really isn't ... I had colon cancer 20 years ago ... Yep, 20, two zero ! ... There's always someone who has traveled the road you are on no matter how many twists and turns it may present ... So, let's talk about it ... Chemo (?) is no walk in the park, but you may actually have an advantage by not being able to eat ... During chemo (?) I lost all sense of taste ... A spoon of ice cream tasted like overcooked Farina .. blech ! ... Radiation (?) that's the hardest ... I don't know if you're a candidate for proton or not, but if it's offered (?) It's a real plus ... For yr comfort, use RadiaCare patches ... Somewhere in the middle of treatment, yr doc will probably ask if you'd like to take a couple days off ... this, my friend, is when you will utter an emphatic YES w tears in yr eyes ... Know that I'll be thinking of you ... See you in 20 years ... Much love ...
Thanks for sharing. You never know who you help by sharing your thoughts and feelings. You seem like such a sweet man and deserve all the good and none of the bad.
I am so incredibly sorry that you have to go through this right now. I too am praying and believing that this difficult journey is just a trial in the greater course of your life and that you will come out of it and the universe will finally be as kind to you as it should. We're all here for you however we can be, my dude. 💜
JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL. IM SO SORRY THAT U ARE GOING THRU THIS😒 CANCER REALLY SUCKS!! IM HOPING THAT THINGS WILL GET ALITTLE BETTER FOR U AS FAR AS THE DISCOMFORT U ARE HAVING. U HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE❤ PLEASE HANG IN THERE AND KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU.
Why do these horrible things happen to the nicest ppl and theirs evil ppl out there with perfect health it’s just not fair makes me so angry . I wish you all the best darling keep that positive thinking and sense of humour 🙂 you can get through this xxx
Please stay strong, Keep participating with with us as much as possible in the various channels so we can help get your mind of the suffering. I have you in my thoughts and prayers.
I just watched a video on YT, that was a Frontline episode from 2015 called "Being Mortal". Please watch it if you have the desire to watch clips. It's about an hour. I don't know you, but I find such value in what you are doing. Educating people about your illness, is never time wasted, and there will be other people who will watch your video's that are going thru exactly what you are, and will be inspired. I hope you know how much you are loved in the YT Universe! I lost both of my parents to mesothelioma (lung cancer, caused by asbestos exposure), and talking about your fears, telling us what's going on, and all of the thoughts you have day-to-day, is so helpful for so many of us. It's a legacy you can leave to the world. Please don't ever feel you're rambling, or stupid, or weak, or that you should have never recorded this. I listen to every word that you say, and want to hear more! How do you pass your days? I'm glad your job situation is good, and you've got those sick days banked in case you need them. When you cried, I wanted to hug you so much! I'm such a mom, and wish I could be there looking after you. I understand your desire to be at the hospital. It's a very scary thing you are going thru, and it's normal to want to have help right at hand, when something happens. It's like having a baby, and then they send you home with this tiny little creature, and you have NO IDEA what you are doing!! I was like, can't I stay here?? But I got thru it, with a few mistakes. Sending you love, and big, healing energy hugs, from Toronto, Canada
Caught just a couple minutes of you on SC's stream ... You looked good ! ... & I must have great timing, because I was in time for a couple of yr humor "darts" ... Sent a smarta$$ email to Cat at his contest email ... Hang in there ...
Difficult to listen, but really try to maintain a positive attitude as it is important for the fight. I wish I could help more, but all I can do is pray for you. Thinking about you often man!
Been thinking of you ... Hope you are doing ok ... I'm so glad that you have Dad w you ... A support system is so very important ... Can you have Tina w you (?) She's aDORable ; and, I imagine, a great friend ... Much love
Do your best to keep hope alive... no matter how hard it might get. There's always hope. Get as much sleep as you can for both physical and mental well being. When you can, do whatever makes you laugh. You are stronger then you know (we all are, I speak from experience), hang on and keep going... no matter what. You don't know me, I don't know you... but I really want to see you reach the other side of this. Just think, with the thing in your stomach, you really have a unique perspective about "garbage in, garbage out". Bad joke... I'll show myself out now.
No fundraisers, no. As of right now, that is entirely unnecessary and this community has enough issues. Plus, I don't need certain people looking into my personal affairs that closely :P I don't care to play that game with them.
I'm really just teasing you. I truly hope you feel better then get strong enough to fight this. My hubby has agent orange cancer. It sucks so bad. I will pray really hard for your peace, comfort, and health blessing.
@@OPTLawyer I hear you. You only concentrate on good vibes. On healthy vibes. You need an understanding ear I'm always here. Unfortunately too many have been affected by that nasty C word.
I am so sorry... Is there any kind of support group or therapist, who could help you in this difficult time? I really hope, that the chemo will help you and make you feel better. Even, when it takes some time. I wish, I could give you hope. Please stay strong. You are loved by many people. You are not fighting alone.
I don't know you but I hope you're able to beat the cancer and adjust to your new devices. Fentanyl and other opiates help with your quality of life and can ease the pain. I know that ice packs helped me cope with the incisions from my own surgeries. Being home right after surgery is difficult, I'm glad you have family helping you during your transition home.
Always great to hear from you and that video is a great reminder that you're loved, buddy. You don't face this alone.
Love ya, Chammy! :)
I didn't know you but I feel I do... May God have your back and live forever in Heaven with all the Angels.
Poor dude. Seemed like a fantastic person. Way too young. Peace.
Rip Beautiful Soul
R.I.P. brother. The heavens gained a great man with your presence.
Aw man so awful, enjoy Heaven.

Making this video shows how much of a strong and amazing person you are. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
14:10 Laughter is good. Hell, I can't imagine a better time for a little gallows humor than right now.

Hugs and prayers for you OPT - you can beat this shit. You have huge support from yer community - just look after yourself and get better.

I have Cancer. Lost a lung and CANCER SUCKS. Not a big fan of the American Cancer Society. All they seemed to do for me is ask for money.
Really hope you beat it Hun, wishing you a fully recovery, Hugs ❤
Hope you feel better soon Hun, Hugs❤
