Your story ought to be on TV so people become aware of this horrible disease. You are a brave soul. God bless you.

Your survival is an honor to my late sister, who didn't make it from colon cancer. There weren't alot of trials back then. Wishing you every blessing.

@linn8100 I am so sorry. I can’t imagine the pain.

It is brave patients like this young man, who push through and endure years of agony to be a 'guinea pig" and do clinical trials. It's those clinical trials where the researchers can fine tune these medications so others can survive. Thank you sir.

This brings such intense feelings, my husband passed of stage 4. They gave him 2yrs he fought thru 61/2 yrs of continuous chemo cycles, but for many of those yrs he was just the shell of the person he was. Chemo til the end was his choice, im not sure I’d make that decision for myself today. Forever living inside my Heart ♥️

I'm almost 100% sure chemo isn't for me. My CRC treatment is going to be radiation and surgery, otherwise I'm going to focus on taking care of my family by giving them lasting memories of the person I was, energetic, full of life and compassion. I don't want those I love to remember me as a cancer patient or a sick husk of a person in bed, machines whirring in the background.

I lost my partner as well 4 years ago, of a cardiac arrest, he was 28… It was very sudden. And no cardiac issues whatsoever. We don’t know why he died… I sometimes wonder what’s worse. To know they’re going to die, or for them to die suddenly without a warning… Anyway. He will live in your heart for ever, like my boyfriend is going to live in mine for ever as well. Sending you my love ❤❤

You were given horrific circumstances in life but you still are fighting to live. You are just amazing. 💙

Thanks so much for sharing your story. Very brave indeed. It seems you have had excellent healthcare too. I am 60 years old and have just had colon surgery after a stage 1 diagnosis. I will be starting chemotherapy very soon after only one lymph node from fifteen was found to be cancerous. Wishing you all the best ❤ 🇬🇧

You’re such an inspiration omg 🥰🥰🥰. Your video is such a reminder of being stuck on traffic not a bad day , fail a class not a bad day , a breakup is not the end ect….. . We tend to take llife , and our health for granted until you come across a video like this . Thank u is an understatement 🥰❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I understand you. I was on TPN for 5 years. I will remember you. My Mom had colon cancer then breast cancer. I had colon cancer 2 years ago the my appendix wss slouching off and turning to cancer last year. I've had a pain pump many times. You are rewriting my story. Make sure you talk to people that's been my biggest mistake. Mental health is a big thing to deal with. Prayers and hugs to you today.

Tenacity. Courage. Persistence. Wisdom. Strength. These are some of the traits you show to those around you. Thanks for sharing your story.

Your life has already been a tremendous contribution to anyone who views your videos. Your voice and words show strength, vulnerability, courage, resilience, and a relatable genuine person. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers as you continue along your journey.

God, I wish something could be found to alleviate that intense pain you and others have suffered.

Fellow survivor here, Stage 4 B-cell lymphoma. You are a fighter, sir. I hear you on the need to watch out for your mental health, and wish I had done a better job early on. But, I have become a believer in that the best time to get support for your cancer journey is when it starts, but the second best time is today. I hope your treatment works, and bridges you to an eventual cure. I hope your days without pain are many and lasting. Peace, Luis

My first words after diagnoses was I’m worried about my mental health. It’s really hard, and Covid made it all so much harder. You’re so strong. Never give up!

I am thankful you shared your story, as someone who dealt with cancer I can relate to so much you have shared. I'm so very proud of you I can't even put it into words, you are the definition of a true fighter. I can't imagine the physical and mental pain of dealing with all the chemo you did, you gave yourself the greatest gift by reaching out for your mental well being. I put therapy off myself even though I was struggling, I couldent wrap my head around one more appointment during treatment, bad on my part but I did finially begin therapy about 2 months ago and it's the best thing I could have done. It takes a real man to admit they need help, keep up the great work ♡. I will keep you in my prayers, take good care of yourself JJ and thanks again.

If you recite the under mentioned prayer 400 or 2000 times, all your illnesses will vanish by the permission of Allah (all glory and praise be to Him). "O Allah, send prayers, peace and blessings upon our Master Muhammad, the medicine of hearts and their treatment, the soundness of bodies and their cure, the light of vision and its illumination, the spirit of all spirits and the secret of their endurance."

. this young man is amazing. So inspirational. Yes, prayers are so important.

I'm stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Went to my vertebra, a rib on the left side, and a tumor on my coxi. My metastatic was found in 2020, before New years, I just found out it spread more to the L4, so it literally is all over my vertebra. This coming Monday, I'm getting an MRI done, and I have a new pain on my lower back. I can't hardly walk, bend, that's my lumbar spine, where I feel all my movements and the pain is horrible. When you mentioned pain, I definitely relate. Is tuff living with pain but is worth living right. Let's see what my docs find this time. I find myself crying a lot. I understand when you say you feel lonely even though there's a million people texting and sharing their own hardships. I don't meet in presence with a support group. There's none around here. I sometimes share my feelings with an online community group of metastatic patients like me. I totally get that when you don't even have the strength to grab the phone, I get like that, too. Never thought of not wanting to be here, no thoughts of suicide. My faith is strong. Honestly, God gives me the strength I need to go on. Keep up the amazing effort you're doing. Your story is very inspiring. It gives me hope. I want to tell you that you have a long road ahead. Enjoy this life. Do all the fun things you like, travel, and even build a family. God has a different plan for you, kiddo. Thank you for sharing your story. Believe!

@jackjones1915 Thanks to God, I'm doing much better. My movements have improved a lot better. Thanks to so many beautiful hearts, those people praying for me. I'm searching for a good physical therapist so I can start walking slowly. Thank you for asking.

He matters, everyone matters. His bravery will help thousands/millions and that means everything.

You are so very brave! All the best to you from Germany.

I so admire you young man, your strength is amazing. I have stage 3 CRC, your story has convinced me to have immunotherapy, being 70 yrs old, I couldn’t imagine having side effects that’s so horrible, yet if it works I might be out of pain. The pain is unbearable at times, I just don’t care to prolong it. If it weren’t for children and grands, your testimonial I wouldn’t do it. Their little faces break my heart, the thought of me passing, I will fight. Gods Will be done either way. I’ll go with palliative care, and fight fight fight for this life I was gifted with.

The smile and light in his eyes say everything about the power of support, finding friends thru this journey. 💚

I am amazed by you JJ. What a nightmare you have been through these past years and yet you somehow manage to tell us your story with a smile on your face. Thank you for your honesty and for opening up about the dark feelings of sadness and hopelessness so many of us cancer patients have to deal with. I’m so happy that you found your support in Man Up. Knowing that you aren’t alone and that there are people like you who care can make all the difference. Never give up JJ! You don’t know what treatments are around the corner. THERE IS HOPE. Look how far you’ve already come! God bless you young man.

prayers on a daily basis for you, hoping your " good days " increase and outweigh the bad,

So glad you joined the group (s) and have support from others online. Prayers that the clinical trial keeps you going for many years to come.

You are a true inspiration, a hero to yourself and someone who chose to live the life you have. Thank you.

You are my hero. Sending love, lots of love.. Stay strong.

That’s some story. No one should have to endure that. I can only imagine how hard mental health is in your case. I struggle with mental health too. Joining support groups is an amazing help. I wish you the best of everything, you are amazing!

I am like you stage four been survival for twelve years and still undergoing chemo by taking chemo pill I believe I can stay that long through prayers alone believe me believe in power of prayers you be fine brother trust God

Thankyou for sharing your story with us. It will help so many people.

So sad you are a very strong person , hope you have a speedy recovery, stay blessed.

❤️...hugs ! Gosh, I'm so thankful....You're here for a reason, and never forget the difference you have made / and continue to make. WOW, God is Good !! I'm thankful as well, you have others to talk to, and the support that is needed.

Cancer has given you wisdom FAR beyond your years! You have an acceptance of life’s terms that some don’t obtain in a lifetime! No one your age should get this prognosis, and hopefully, the day is coming where they won’t! 😢

Your story has really inspired me and it pushes me to speak out for my health issues. I was working full time at Mayo Clinic on the chemo floor. I loved my job so much but one day my life just took a complete turn around. I had to step down from my position because of upper GI pain and blood in my stools. I had a upper GI scope and was told I had a sever case of inflammation and gastritis but it’s been 6 months and still know relief from this pain. I am a firm believer in the Lord and this is where out hope and strength comes from. God is our healer put all your faith and trust in the Lord. God bless you!! Much Love!!

I’m happy and feel good to see that you joined the men’s group and are visible person in and helping other people and getting support for yourself.

God Bless you love ❤Do not let it define you ! You ate strong and a fighter ! Proud of you for seeking mental help ! I did the same after chemo ! It helped so much ! Eat clean , no sugars , NO ALCOHOL ! Nothing that feeds the cells ! Lots of garlic , tumeric , u-tube has a lot of therapeutic healing frequencies from A-Z I listen to a lot of immunity booster frequencies, inflammation, stress etc ... there are also cancer killing frequencies ! Your in my prayers 🙏🏾💜

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s so important. For people who are caring for or close to someone with cancer it’s great insight and it will help people to understand the mental health toll it takes on everyone. I can’t wait until mental is taken as seriously as physical from the day we are born. ❤❤❤ so grateful for this information.

I don't know how you do it! You're amazing JJ. - I was just diagnosed yesterday with Pulmonary Metastatic Disease. The Dr just called to expedite "The Journey." I'm being referred to the Pulmonology Dept, and from there, based on the consultation, it will be decided if I have to be referred to the Radiation Dept. I'm scared, yet I see all you survivors and realize I've got to get over being the "Baby Princess" realizing that there is the possibility of being like the rest of you who have gone through this cancer journey. Your story gives me courage and hope. - Thank you JJ.

Your a brave young man JJ, my sister had cancer when she was younger. God bless you xx

I am so sorry for all your pain, you are a beautiful person.

God bless you man! You’re so strong and resilient! Keep the faith, God has a plan for you!

wow, what a strong person, good points about support groups
