please see if 'right to try' laws will get you access to the drug in the trial that you wanted! Ask your doctor to help get it (from NCBI "Right to try, like expanded access, allows the use of an experimental drug outside of clinical trials to treat people with serious or life-threatening diseases."

19 year GBM extreme survivor here and you've got the right mindset for it. Art is so important in this journey, I started a nonprofit art community for survivors, caregivers and the support circle that offers scholarships for that exact reason. I can't wait to see all the puppets and videos you create during this time! It'll be tough still for awhile but with such a great attitude, you've got this! 🤞for your trial

All my prayers to you . Definitely, you will be soon cured. Please my advise you that I reversed my thyroids low and high, and my type 2 diabetic . I changed my nutrition, and some exercises did mindfulness and internment fasting . I learned and trained myself about products that we consume and use can be toxic for our body . Research and learn . I will support you all the way. Take care. ❤

We have your back, Adam and family! Cheering you on to full health ❤

Make a puppet version of your tumor and get a good look at it face to face. So you can stare it down and say what you have to say to it, and maybe hear what it has to say for itself, and why it's taking you on this journey. We love you, Adam. Levi, my son, and I are in a world of puppets and he thinks you're the best thing ever. I would be fascinated to see what kind of puppet you'd come up with to represent the hitchhiker in your head.

I'm no puppeteer or puppet maker, but I stumbled upon your channel at the beginning of your cancer journey. Since then I have grown to admire you greatly as a creator due to your dedication to your craft, and more so for the incredibly supportive community you've cultivated. Adam, thanks for giving everyone here countless lessons not only in creative expression, but a HUGE lesson in courage in the face of adversity. You are an inspiration, and we will have your back all the way brother 👊

Heart broken...This sucks. My daughter had a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma that mutated into something weird after six years that was faster growing. I love your being so positive but I know how scary this is. Everyone here at my studio is sending you and your family all the love, all the good and healing vibes and that you find a treatment to kick this this things booty. My daughter went through three remissions, it wasn't easy it was in her brainstem and cerebellum. If there are folks in the puppet community reading this let's get together and embrace this awesome man and his family as he does the hard work! Love your fall risk bracelet (heart). Healing, healing, healing.

Hoping the best for you. Love that you are not giving up. I started watching you because I was kind of curious about making and having my own puppet. My ADHD has pulled me in all kinds of directions, but I keep watching you. I'm a colon cancer survivor. Do NOT stop fighting. As long as you have breath, make sure you let cancer know that they picked the wrong guy! Here for you!

Not ridiculous at all, focusing on your art is very beneficial, especially in this situation. Good to hear you're not giving up sir!! You got this! Your family got this. God bless please!

Adam, I pray that you beat this and make a full recovery. We need your joy in this crazy world.

Rarely comment on youtube videos, life long lurker when it comes to KZread. Stumbled across your channel and it was a rabbit hole that i got lost in. I've met multiple professional puppeteers who were inspired by you and your videos, i cannot even imagine how many kids you've expanded the horizon on. You are such a kind, charismatic person and willing to share as much as you can. tho i've never physically met you, you've become part of my life story- along with that i can assume are hundreds of thousands of other people's lives as well. Keep up the content and keep up the strength! Thanks again for everything you've done, sharing is the ultimate form of caring.

Adam your positivity will get you through this! Also I love seeing all that movement in your left arm again! You and your family are loved. ❤❤❤

Love this comment!

Adam, you and your family are in my thoughts, I hope that you get into a good clinical trail. You have been such an inspiration to me, you are one of the people that taught me how to puppeteer, I love using puppets with children (I was an early childhood Educator, but I am developing a storytime youtube channel and I'm going to incorporate puppets) I find that puppets really engage children, because puppets are approachable for children (sometimes more approachable then adults) and they help you tell engaging stories. You keep going Adam, I know you can get through this, and I hope that you continue to do what brings you joy. You, your wife and children are in my thoughts, keep going Adam, don't loose hope and don't give up 😊

Mr K - I believe you will be given the opportunity you need! You are still my favorite teacher that I have ever had! Go South Davis! GO MR K!!

I never knew clinical trials were so like strict and competitive. Wow. I wish you the best and that they can set you up quickly.

@MmrBader

Its not that clinical trials are competitive .they aren't. Every trial has a strict protocol ie design, in which it is calculated in advance how many patients are needed to confidently ascertain whether the findings are genuine outcomes due to treatment or a chance outcome. Each trial has very strict criteria for entry otherwise too many interfering variables make it impossible to interpret data. So therefore recruitment is strictly limited according to the design and patients must meet specific criteria ..there may also be a timeline to follow. Therefore the investigators in the hospitals recruiting patients for the sponsor have no choice but to follow the design they are handed. There are also funding issues. Clinical trials cost millions to run and they are budgeted for a fixed number of patients. With all these factors in mind your chance of being recruited depends on your suitability as well as how early on in the recruitment process you happen to approach it. It really is that complicated. Not a competition.

You have been my inspiration for many years, you made me smile with your videos and taught me so much. You are a giving, kind, and patient soul.

I’m praying for you, Adam. You’ve inspired me to start my own TikTok account with my puppet and I don’t know where I will be without your helpful videos.❤

Thank you for keeping us updated, even as you're going through all this. My mom is 4 weeks (of 6) through radiation, and will start chemo when she's done. Never lose hope. You are strong. You and your family are always in our prayers. ❤

Adam your passion for puppetry and generous sharing of your knowledge as a professional maker has changed my life, and I know many others could say the same. You’re an amazing artist, educator, and person and I’m in awe of your journey. I look forward to seeing you on the other side of this difficult time in your life.

Thank you for the update, and I am sorry about the progression. Speaking from other experiences, the unknown and the waiting are perhaps the worst parts. Keep going strong, you all got this!

You are a great person, an excellent teacher. It hurts us a lot that a person with your talent and charisma is going through this situation. All of us who recognize your work hope that you have a speedy recovery and that all of this situation is left behind. ❤

My mother had cancer and is now cancer free and my brother has cancer too but keeps his spirit up. He had 11 surgeries last year which wasn't easy at all. They gave him two years to live and he is now in year 4. And things looking better now. I really believe their zest for life kept them alive. Don't get me wrong. They had many dark moments, especially after surgery. But their overall appetite for life kept them going. It is very helpful to surround yourself with people who believe in your healing. I'm sending you my love and prayers from Germany my friend. 🙏🔥☀️

You and your family remain in our family's prayers.

I wish you so much luck with the trials, im sending as much love as i can, being an internet stranger ❤ I made my very first puppet recently, and ive learned so so much from your channel. Thank you so much for everything you do, youre very important to the puppetry world and i hope you know it. Sending so much love your way! ❤

Really wishing you the best, dude. You're a hecking inspiration, got me into the puppet making game while I felt lost during the pandemic. But thank you for everything. It's has helped me get thru. Fuck cancer and kick its ass.

Keep at it! I’m right there with you im this journey. I just had to end my clinical trial on Thursday as it wasn’t working. Met with my doctor an hour or so ago and am going onto a different treatment that will hopefully balance things out so we can try and find another clinical trial to work on. My goal was to make it to Christmas. Then once I hit that my wedding anniversary. Now we’re working towards my birthday. Then after than my daughters birthday. And I’ll keep setting goals like that as long as I can. So much to do still!

You're a legend man. One of the bravest people I've ever seen. Thanks to your videos and patterns I have fulfilled my lifelong dream of making puppets, with four completed projects. You have made a massive difference in my life, and I will be forever grateful for that. Warm wishes from the UK!

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers Adam and I will hold you in healing ❤️‍🩹 light

3:32 No excuses, Adam! It's what's going to keep you alive: it's something to live for. Don't ever make excuses for wanting to live!

Keep going Adam and stay strong, you have thousands of us rooting for you, here's hoping you get into a clinical trial really soon, sending positive thoughts to you and your family. Thank you again for your generous spirit, for sharing your passion and bringing so much joy into the world. My son and I have spent many happy hours making puppets following along with your videos and we look forward to many more in the future :) xo

Hey man; firstly, happy birthday. Going through something like this, those milestones may seem like small potatoes, but they're pretty important. Secondly, what a tease with that clinical trial. That's a heck of a roller coaster that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Thirdly, I'm rooting for you. Staying strong means you don't give up, not that you have to act like you're unbothered. That's not to say that I think you're not giving yourself the time to take care of yourself; that's just to say keep it up. From our narrow perspective into your life, you're doing great. Thanks for the update.

I wish you all the best. A clinical trial saved my life several years back. I got hurt a coal mine and spent 10 days in a coma. The doctor where telling my family that i had more then a 97% change of not pulling through. The broken back wasn't what was killing me. It was acute respiratory distress symptoms. I was drowning on my own fluids and they couldn't pump it out fast enough. The lung doctor that was trying to save me happened to read about a study from a mid western university that was testing some sort of drug for the exact same condition. Thank god the stars aligned just right and i was perfect for the test and a few hours later i got the drugs. 6 hours after that i was off the ventilator, out of CCU, in a regular room, screaming for something to eat and trying to flirt with some of the nurses! I went from dieing for the past 10 day to dieing to go home in half a day!

Positivity is key and you’re there. Keep focused. You’ve got this, Adam…and we’ve got you. ♥️🙏🏽♥️

Made my first Snoof yesterday. Came out so cute. Excited to learn so much more from you.

Your videos helped my daughter and I to create a puppet for a school project around 3 years ago. You have a great attitude and through the grace of GOD you will get through this time! 🙏

Cosmic good vibes headed your way. You've got this, man.

You inspired my 10 year old to get into puppetry! We made Snoofs for his whole class for Valentine's Day. Stay strong and sending prayers your way!

I don't normally comment but something I tell myself when the road get rough is "this too shall pass". Wishing you and your family the best.

Great way to describe clinical trials. My goddaughter was on one for her cancer and the hoops they jumped through were insane. You are my hero and I will keep you in my prayers

My prayers for you have never stopped. THEY WILL NOT STOP. I will pray now for you to find the ideal treatment in the ideal span of time. I have learned so much from your videos, you keep making them and we will keep watching and learning. God bless you!

Hi! I've been watching your channel a lot to learn about puppet building, and I just wanted to send you some support during this difficult season. Your videos bring me so much happiness and brighten up my day. It's so kind of you to share your knowledge of puppeteering with the world. You're an amazingly talented person. I'll be praying for you to find healing and recovery from cancer. John 3:16 💛

This just breaks heart completely! You're such an amazing dude and by god you don't deserve this! Next pay check i swear my support shall be fierce!!! I believe in you!!! ❤

Adam, you truly do got this! Keep that positivity up and it will get you through this! We are all rooting for you.

Adam, Thank you for taking time to share your progress with us, your unwashed masses (lol, just kidding. I showered today). I have really struggled with emotions around your diagnosis and I've avoided watching this video since it's upload... I first found your channel when I was struggling with some dark experiences and you were/are one of the lights in my world. Cancer is so unfair and the best people seem to be struck by it when there are so many people who skate by... Having had cancer twice (as a very young parent at 32, and again 14 years later) it has been really hard to process seeing such an amazing, young person have this come into their world. There are so many people who have had their lives bettered for you being here on YT and I can only imagine the positive impact you've had for your students but mostly your own children and wife. I know your diagnosis isn't about me - it's just brought a lot of painful memories for me and my deepest wish is that you get into a trial that is successful for you and you are healed and still here with us for many years to come. Less for us, but definitely and penultimately, for your family who love you so much. So, long comment short, May the universe bring you all the things you need to be healed and well. If part of that means we lose you from KZread, so long as you are here with your immediate family and loved ones, I'd be okay with that. So much love and many blessings sent your way, from me to you.

I only just got into puppetry, and finding your videos, where you share your passion with such engagement and positivity, has been such a delightful push into a weird, fun and felty universe. The universe ain't done with you yet ✨ thank you for all the work you've already done, and thank you for all the good work you'll do in future. It's good to see you're not taking the whole thing lying down! Keep up the amazing work, we're all cheering from the sidelines.

I normally don't pray but you are one of the few outside of family and friends I pray to with your journey. We all have your back and agree you have more to show the world.

Adam I've never met you in person and maybe never will but you feel like a friend to me. I"ve been watching your videos for several years and you are always an inspiration to me on several levels. I'm praying for you. God is the great physician. I want to encourage you to be trusting in Him. John chap. 15; Psalm 103:8-14

Keep the faith! The world is a better place with you in it!! You got this!

Good luck Adam! You're an inspiration!

Adam if you pass away just know that you've left a huge imprint on my life and I will always miss you and you were one of the best puppet makers I ever knew

Hi Adam, We are praying for you and your family. You are a blessing in my life and that of other people in the world. You will come out of this and give testimony of victory. Let us glorify the name of Our God together. God is in control of everything. Everything is under God's control. If this is happening there is a purpose. Have faith hope. My name is Marcelo Meneses, Pernambuco, Brazil A big hug.
