I knew it wasn’t a phase.

According to a 12 year old on Xbox I actually do have cancer

Both my parents are terminally ill with stage 4 cancers. I witness them fade away gradually, despite trying every treatment under the sun. I fear i will get the diagnosis one day too. Really inspires me to live life to the fullest and don't take small joys for granted.

My friend has Auto-immune, and Cancer. It's heartbreaking that nothing can be done about it. She's a doctor and treats patients while being in tremendous pain and on heavy medications. They say she only has 1 or 2 years to live. I feel so helpless, not being able to do anything. I wouldn't wish this upon even my greatest foes.
Wish there was away to help her.

Wow. It's crazy how our own body can accidently kill itself!

In 2018, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Suprisingly, she was fighting it since 2011 until 2018 which was a long battle against cancer. Even though she passed she still inspired me to live the fullest and i think you should too!

As someone who is at a very high risk for skin cancer; I can say that my cells are losers

According to all the doctors in league of legends everyone has being diagnosed with cancer multiple times

Having recently discovered that my father has esophageal cancer – after both my grandfather and oldest nephew had it and survived – I was quite scared I might get it as well. While that chance is always going to be there, regardless of genetics, I'm glad that technology is advancing so much. I have hope that no matter how tough this thing gets, humanity will always find a way to suppress and/or cure it.

My heart goes out to all of you who've gone through or have survived it, as well as to the scientists who are doing their absolute best to find better methods to beat this thing.
Y'all rock 😁

Vsauce formula:
_"Hey! Vsauce, Michael here."_
• Seemingly irrelevant fact / thing
• Big question
• Meat of the video
• Depressing conclusion
• Uplifting and optimistic take by Michael Stevens
_"And as always, thanks for watching."_

So, this means that we are dead in the outside too.

This video is now 10 years old, I’ll come back again for when it’s 20 (if YouTube’s even still around by then)

[marcosboffa]

Idk why youtube remind me about this gem, but i'm grateful. Right in the nostalgia.
