Cancer Battle Update, I almost Died

[lnemonk]

I woke up this morning to a phone call from my Doctors. I didn't get good news. I felt destroyed. I was like you, healthy and vibrant. My mind went to the "why me phase". I just watched your video and all that came to mind was I was not alone and others have similar problems. You gave me some hope. I see your enthusiasm and zeal. You are still thinking about the future! I just donated my ticket to the Cherry Springs star party (was to be my first time) because I wanted someone to see the beauty in the sky if I could not. STAY POSITIVE, STAY HOPEFUL AND I WILL DO THE SAME.

Stay strong Ben, you're a warrior! 💪

Hi Ben, I'm writing to you from Italy. I've spent an impressive amount of money and time on this hobby and regained confidence in life, thanks to you and cuiv. I know how difficult certain moments can be, but your smile is an incredible strength. Don't let ANYTHING take it away from you. We are and will remain insignificant on a tiny dot in the cosmos, but at the moment we are the only fortuitous case of Life, and each of us right now is certainly an exception at least in this corner of the universe.

That's precisely why your impact is greater than you can imagine. Every smile, every word of encouragement, every moment of joy you share through your hobby has a ripple effect. You inspire others to find their own passion, to persevere in difficult times, to see beauty in small things.
Remember that even on the darkest days, your enthusiasm is like a light for others. Your dedication not only enriches your life but also touches the lives of those who follow and admire you. You are a living reminder that life, despite its challenges, is full of wonders to discover and share.
Continue to cultivate this passion, spread positivity, and be yourself. In a vast and mostly empty universe, your uniqueness and enthusiasm are precious. Never underestimate the power of your contribution to the world, no matter how small it may seem to you.
You are part of a community that appreciates and celebrates what you do. Together, we make this corner of the universe a little "darker" :) Thank you for being who you are and for sharing your light with us.

Your YouTube channel is more than just a platform for astrophotography; it's a beacon of hope and a reminder of the awe-inspiring nature of our universe. It encourages us to look up, to wonder, and to appreciate the precious moments we have

[solutionsexist]

I got a monochrome camera and started shooting in narrowband because of your channel in 2022. Just bought a 2600mm-duo. Thank you🤙 You’re awesome!

[viewintospace]

[bryanjames]

[Sunshineleroy]

Ben, thank you for the candid explanation of your battle. Best wishes for you and your family. Your attitude is good, and inspiring.

I am sorry to hear that you have to fight cancer. Since chemo usually makes people weaker and often leads to other, different types of cancer, I can only recommend you to investigate high dosage vitamin c-infusions. Cancer needs carbohydrates to survive, and it needs iron. So, the wise thing to do for any cancer patient is to lower the carbohydrate uptake to max. 30g per day. Do not take iron, unless you combine it with artemisia annua, a plant that is efective against almost all types of infections (10yrs ago, the nobel prize was awarded for the doscovery of it's effectiveness against malaria). Artemisia annua, a herb, contains artemisinin, the effective compound, that is toxic to cancer cells. It is transported to the cancer by hitchhiking on iron compounds, which the cancer cells absorb and then are eliminated by the artemisinin. You have nothing to lose and might give it a try. All the best, and thank you for all those wonderful explanatory videos.!!!!

I also have cancer and I come from my first chemo. All good, but the struggle is long. The real fight is in the head. Endure, overcome, overcome weakness, stay positive. No matter how bad the news are, the future is not yet written. Lots of encouragement! God bless you!

Stay strong Ben. It’s great to see your optimism for the future. I too have been in many dark places this last year after 2 spinal surgery procedures left me unable to stand, walk and unable to do much else. One year today, I left hospital not knowing what the future held for me. I can now stand and walk short distances with mobility aids. I even used my telescope rig for only the 2nd time in a year. It was like re-learning everything again, but I eventually managed to image the night sky.

Wishing you all the very best on your journey to recovery 🤝

[mattestabrook]

Sending my best wishes for your full recovery! Crush that cancer, Ben!

[DubbleD]

I’m not a religious guy but I’ll send positive energy your way Ben. Cancer sucks. I love your attitude and I hope things continue to improve. We’ll all be here whenever you’re ready. But do take all the time you need because YT can wait. Cheers bud.

[ТимурК-фи]
