    Thank you for sharing these videos. I'm part of a palliative care organization at UF Health Shands hospital called Streetlight, and because of this organization, I have formed relationships with many cancer patients. Its truly inspiring seeing their strength, but just because they are strong does not mean they don't struggle every day of their treatment. Before every Streetlight shift, us volunteers engage in a "focus" to learn more about the patient populations we serve. Themes for the focus usually revolve around our patient's identities, lives, how to deliver end-of-life care, etc. I am a captain on shift, meaning I help lead the group of volunteers that day, and one shift every semester the captains get to choose a focus. I decided to show the first two of your Cancer Diary videos becuase I felt that the themes and reflections you shared align perfectly with what Streetlight is all about. We ensure that these patients' identities are held as sacred as possible by creating posters for them with their favorite things, talking about their hobbies and interestes, and celebrating milestones (like birthdays) with parties of their choice. We try and show them that they are so much more than their disease. Your videos are so powerful and show common struggles that cancer patients have to go thorugh. These videos will help many cancer patients who are also feeling isolated feel like they are not alone, but they also have helped the volunteers on my shift become more educated on the emotions associated with cancer treatment so we are better able to serve our patients. Because of the relationships I have made with patients, like you, I have a new outlook and appreciation for the life I have. I have learned to carry those that were lost with me so I can become a better, kinder person. I love your optimistic outlook on your disease, becuase that is so necessary for something as life changing as a cancer diagnosis. Keep staying strong thorough the rest of your journey, and thank you again for documenting your experience!

      I recently watched a documentary on palliative care. You guys are awesome! No one is ready to die but when you have a terminal illness, it's that care and attention that makes it easier to say goodbye to life.
      When it's _my time_ I want staff to play me Jimmy Buffett songs 😂 No time to be sad, I've had a fairly decent life! Hope I can taste rum and tiramisu for the last time and go out in style...

    This was so powerful, the fact that you still produce such beautiful videos despite going through what you go through says a lot about your resilience. You're going to beat this sickness, it will make you stronger and yes it has changed you from within, but it will inspire you for the future. I almost had tears watching this because this was so genuine, so true and full of meaning. I guess you see life very much differently than before. Isolation is never a good thing, but on a positive note , you have reached thousands of people and we are there with you. Silently perhaps since we're not close to you or around you, but I want you to know that there are a lot of people wishing you the very best, you will beat this thing Vuhlandes, you will definitely. Thank you for inspiring us since day one! You take good care of yourself, that's your only priority now. Don't loose hope , you will beat this, you are stronger than this. I m wishing you a lovely holiday season but more importantly , I m wishing you a speedy recovery. You are going to beat this I just know it! Sending you lots of strength and courage from Belgium. Take care and remember, you will beat this disease !

    One thing I’ve always admired about your films is how beautifully they capture emotion. But ever since you were faced with this unfortunate battle with cancer, I noticed a profound shift in your perspective on life. There’s a rawness, a chaos, and an honesty in your work now that truly resonates. Everything you’ve expressed-visually and emotionally-allows someone like me to step into your shoes and feel what you’ve felt.
    Sometimes, the hardest moments in life become a part of our journey, not to break us, but to help us grow. As it says in **Proverbs 3:5-6**:
    *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."*
    Your ability to find purpose and meaning in the chaos is inspiring, and it’s a testament to the strength of your spirit.

I have been away from youtube and all of these things and in this exact moment i was studying for some exams i have tomorrow and the day after, and out of nowhere i just thought "how's vuhlandes?" i came here to search if you had posted anything else and sure thing, u posted this yesterday...
    thats crazy... Hope for your recovery!
    Maybe try talking to someone who has or is going through the same thing as you. Just like you were saying, all that we need is someone to get us and feel what we are feeling. maybe one person can give you more peace than hundreds...
    I know that most of our problems can be solved and sometimes it just takes one single person, conversation or experience that changes your mindset or perspective over the problem. hope you feel better and not so much isolated.
    loved your video!

    I was 18 the first time I had cancer. I didn't have any support. The last time I had cancer, I had to go to pre op alone and care for myself after surgery. I now have a ton of support. I'm sorry that support for you has dwindled. I actually think of you often. I really feel this. You've inspired me to pursue my photography more over the years even when I often don't have the energy. While my struggles are different and I can't understand completely, I really relate on a deep level. Something that helps me is having support groups of others with my diagnoses and knowing that those in my life choose to be.

    Just 1 month ago I finished my first ever longterm therapy, got diagnosed with several addiction diagnoses as well as borderline-personality disorder... I mean the symptoms always were there, the addictions a desperate last try to deal with the bpd and I kinda learned a little bit how to deal with all that, but to know now that I have this terminal mental disease just hits different man. I moved and have now been in some sort of reintegration program but it ain't easy. I also tend to isolate, especially when I'm unwell. I wish you the best and want to thank you so much for sharing your art, which I have been following for years now. Stay strong brother.
