So this is pretty funny to me because one of my spouse's co-workers was thought to have lymphoma but actually has TB. They all work in radiology so when something looks like one thing and is another it is rapidly shared news. THEN my 17yo went in for testing, we were going "Come TB!" Until the kid pointed out that he would be in isolation if he has TB so we were back to "Come on Hodgkin's Lymphoma!" So I am here for the comments and resources because my kid has to start Chemo shortly. And I can't find a good book on what to expect! Seriously, how is a nerdy librarian supposed to work under these conditions!?!

LOVE this. As a cancer veteran who just got re-upped, I have learned that attitude really helps. Maybe it is just because attitude is contagious, and those of us in the patient role in the cancer movie set the tone for the rest of the cast. It also makes it clear that we are actively involved in the process and it isn't just raining down on us. The score card is brilliant. Although I have to say--I personally loved the photo with the out there costume. After this is over, I think it could be repurposed for next year's Met gala.

Turning the illness into profiteering? Do you know how much good Hank has done for other people in this world? And if you only had any idea how little money KZread videos actually make, you would be mind blow. It's not what you think it is, He's not "getting rich" off of KZread videos. He's not begging for sympathy, he's telling HIS story, and it's HIS story to tell. This is Hank's outlet for dealing with his cancer. He is allowed to make videos, and talk about it, and he's HELPING so many other people also going through it. You realize some people with cancer, NEED to hear from others who have it. Some families going through this (like ours), is THANKFUL that he is sharing his story and doing his best to stay positive and educate people about it. Your Toxic negativity about what he chooses to do is sad. I get it, you are hurting because your parent is going through this, but you need to find a way to deal with your thoughts and feelings, so that your family can better move forward and be positive. Cancer sucks. No matter what. It just sucks. Hank is doing amazing things here, and he's an amazing person who has given back to so many.

I've been fighting cancer for 20 years (CLL) or a third of my life. Fortunately bio technology has kept moving forward and has bailed me out every time I fell out of remission. This year was the hardest with a stem cell transplant which appears to have worked very well. My journey has extended from MD Anderson in Houston to Fred Hutch in Seattle. My first recommendation for those with cancer is to find the experts that specialize in that particular disease. I have been fortunate to have been treated by some of the best leukemia doctors in the world. My second recommendation is to manage your treatment. Doctors are very busy people and can't keep on top of every patient. You need to be pro-active in how you approach treatment.

Thank you for continuing to show that there are ways to be critical of things without tearing it apart. 💛💛

Hank, as a fellow cancer survivor, I wish you all the best. I had a similar diagnosis five years ago, although they thought mine was lymphoma initially it was actually testicular cancer but the tumor was in my chest. Some days chemo will be hell, and you'll feel like garbage. But, you'll get through it. I also teach psychology and I use your crash course clips weekly. You're a fixture in my class. Also, my last name is Green, so I think that sometimes my students think you're a distant relative. Anyway, keep being an inspiration and an advocate for learning!

Hank, 3 years ago you did a video called "The Sudden Obliteration of Expectation" that was so influential to the way that I deal with my anxiety and the rapid change that characterizes young adulthood that I felt the need to share it with my dad. It changed the way that I approach life so profoundly that I routinely go back and rewatch it, because it's just that big. In the two videos that you have done surrounding your cancer diagnosis, you've hit on something similar again. The strangest combination of perfectly timed humor and genuine serious understanding and so many other little things is just... Exactly what I've been needing right now. Thank you for being the "adult" [scare quotes not intended] in the room for me over and over again. I feel like a better person (less in the moral sense and more in the "I'm better at being a person now" sense) for having been exposed to your media, and I'm so, so grateful for it.

Beautifully said

How happy this clearly made Hank is honestly the best. I just love that for him. For him to find something in all of this that he can not only see as a positive experience, but to absolutely run with it, and make it as fun as he possibly can, is inspiring.

I love so much that the things available to us in our world right now allow for Hank to take this part of his life in stride and cope by, as another commenter said, vibe-checking news outlets in a tier list. There are some great things about the younger generations, and the outlets we've made available to ourselves such as memes like this are truly amazing.

I love that you're also rating it by scare factor as well because news reports making stuff scary is honestly a pet peeve of mine but I would not have thought to derank because of it!

Watching this made me cry, a little bit because it's hilarious, but mostly because this relatable cancer content feels so important. Cancer info and content is always so bleak and sterile. This humanizing approach just feels like it will really help other people who are going through similar things. I hope your treatment and recovery goes well.

Quick warning: Stardew Valley is *not* bummer-free, because some of the special cutscenes you get with the characters can pack quite a punch! Shane and Alex are two examples of characters who have some really sad storylines, so watch out with them. (There might be more; I haven't seen every scene!) In general it's a comfy game, but I didn't put it on my recommendations list in the comments for the cancer sharing video as I figured the storylines for some characters would be a bit much right now.

@sarahmihuc3993

Жыл бұрын

Yep! I have seen pretty much all the scenes, and I agree that Shane is probably the darkest storyline. For no-bummers, I'd suggest sticking with Leah, Maru, or Emily, or Elliott, Sebastian or Harvey. All the stories have slight mentions of past struggles, but these should be manageable. (For example, Leah's past struggle is problems with an ex. Maru's I think has to do with being conflicted about moving away to follow her dreams iirc?) For a similar level of light, almost no bummers, I would also recommend Pokemon Scarlet/Violet btw. Overall it's a very positive game, just some mentions of past bullying and there is a sad old dog who gets saved/healed by the protagonists, but the first scene with him is a bit tough (you can avoid this storyline by not doing any of the herb side quests). And lastly, for a less-bummer version of Stardew Valley, I recommend all the Harvest Moon games that it is based on. They generally have zero bummers iirc, maybe a little bit if you follow certain storylines but less than Stardew Valley. I think most people agree the first 3 games for N64/GameCube/GameBoy are best (and can surely be found on an emulator for free), although all of them are good including the Rune Factory spinoffs, there are several Harvest Moon and Rune Factory games available on the Switch. (Rune factory has more of a fantasy world vibe and focus on killing monsters but still the same core concepts of farming, friendships and romance as Harvest Moon)

It was one of the scariest things I've ever been through (the realization that your parents aren't invincible and won't be here forever always is), and I can only imagine what it was like for him when he was told that he probably wouldn't make it until the end of the year, but I remember him making jokes like this. It was more for the rest of us than it was for him, I think, but it helped immensely as we moved through his treatment and adapted our lives for cancer stuff (and he's been in partial remission for about 15 years now, yay!). I guess what I'm trying to say is that I appreciate you and John comforting all of us and giving us funny, bittersweet updates. I think all of us would understand if you didn't, but boy howdy does humour make facing uncertainty more bearable! I admire y'all for it.
