3 time cancer survivor here. This song hit me so hard, not because it reminds me of what I've been through, but because I remember seeing what it did to my family. I never felt sorry for myself, I felt sorry for my sisters who drove 1600 miles to stay with me, drive me to my chemo and radiation treatments, help me make it to the bathroom every 30 minutes to puke my guts out. I remember hearing them downstairs crying and praying to God to let me live. Cancer doesn't just hurt the victims, it hurts the families even worse.
Steve, you are incredibly strong and you should be proud! Your family loves you and that is a blessing to have them there for you! I’m proud of you!! 🙏🏼 sending love to you ❤
My wife had triple-negative breast cancer stage 2 that spread to lymphnodes. I spent 2 years taking care of her and my son durring the day and working nights trying to keep our heads above water. I averaged 2 hours sleep a night and I am still trying to recover from the stress a year later. However I would do it all over again for her, family is family.
Tom is NOT a Rapper, Singer, Writer, or Philosopher. He's a true ARTIST. This is a rare. We're all blessed to have that divine spark. But some rare individuals 🔥 with it brightly.
I listened to this song while I was going thru treatment for liver cancer , This song and many more by Tom got me thru some very dark dark times been in remission for 3yrs now but thanks to Tom he helped me thru and I was lucky enough to tell him too , He was quite humble and really genuine as a person I now listen to Tom everyday as I have purchased every Cd he has more diversity in his music then another rap artist which sets him apart from the main stream musicians
i’ve been an HOG army soldier for about three years. And I’m a grandma who’s fixing to turn 60 this year. But my heart is still young. Hated rap until I came across Tom. I tell my adult daughters that he’s my adopted son because that’s how much I love him. 😅Like a son. 🫶🏼 It’s crazy. I’ve got nine or 10 or more 🤷♀️ of Toms albums, all kinds of HOG clothing, etc. etc. I have a hog necklace that I wear to work so everyone can see it, and I’m a nurse at a major hospital. LOL So, how you are feeling now when you just found him, that’s exactly what happened to me. 🤯🥳🤩💃💃💃 I went from the beginning of his videos all the way to the end. I know most of his songs by heart. Of course I can’t sing them, but I can try to sing along with him. 🤣And now I’m officially a proud HOG soldier forever. 🙏🔥🫶🏼 Tom has the platform that we can stand behind as an Army. to stand for the truth in this God forsaken country. together with Tom, it seems like America’s got a chance. Tom is the commander of our army. He is a good and honorable young man.🙏🫶🏼
Lost my dad to cancer a few years back. My absolute favorite lines of this song: You won't how to be brave 'til you choose to fight when you're afraid And you can't experience strength 'til you struggle to carry the weight And you won't know why you have faith 'til you look the devil in his face And you don't know what you can take 'til you realize that you didn't break Sober is another great emotional Tom song, but it's real personal for him. I've seen comments on other channels that the song is literally saving people's lives going through the same stuff. I also like Church with his friend Brandon. I Wish is another emotional one that will hit harder and harder the older you get.
As a survivor of Leukemia this song makes me cry every time. Of the 40 people on my ward only 2 of us survived taking an experimental Chemo for a year. The fear and pain for the family is real. I can say after being in remission for 13 years the drug study I was on had amazing results and went on the market 2 years ago. Is is so sad that it wasn't available to all the patients on the ward with me. Great reaction... emotional song....
My dad is also a leukaemia survivor, it was found through a routine eye test - I was a child so never allowed in to visit, I remember speaking to him through glass on the red phone from the corridor - I wish you a long and happy life ❤
Has anyone else listened to walk alone, spilt milk,hourglass, and heros? If not I would highly recommend these songs. There is no music video for most, but done with fan art.
Holla Vanessa and Happy Monday. I really enjoyed Tom McDonald new song Cancer and this a very difficult for anyone who you know who has cancer and it be anyone like your brother, sister, husband, or wife who are going through a tough time and beating this disease. I had a great time and I am so glad you are getting better everyday. Take care. Bye Vanessa.🇵🇦🇺🇸❤
Tom is awesome with what he does and how he calls out the state of lunacy this country is in! My dad died of cancer over 5 years ago now. Not something you ever really get over BUT kudos to Tom for the song, you for the review and I'll see dad again in heaven one day!
When cancer strikes children and they pass on it's especially hard even though we know they have not perished. The dead are cared for and we will see them again someday even though we miss them. Love and respect, sister, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
This song hits me so hard! I rarely listen to it for that reason. I almost skipped your reaction. I lost my Mom, Grandmother, two Uncles, and one of my best friends to cancer. My Uncle and bonus Mom both survived it. Cancer SUCKS!! With all of the advances in medicine, how can we not have a cure?! UGH!! Thank you for your reaction!
This is why most people in #HOG will tell you that Tom is an artist. His music has actually helped a lot of people. When I realized that, I decided I was a fan. Even if he was only in this for the money, which I don’t really believe, that only leaves two options. He’s doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, or the right thing for the right reasons. Either way, he’s helped people. Great reaction, and good job holding back on getting choked up! 😜✌️
So many of us either have had a family member with cancer or been through it themselves. This song hits straight to the heart. Tom keeps it real no matter what he's singing about. #HangOverGang
Great reaction. Yeah my brother died at the age of three, I was two. Then my dad died of cancer at the age of forty one. I believe in laying on hands, speaking in tongues, anointing with oil, praying and fasting for the person that is sick. We have these things that god gave us. Testimonies are very real Vanassa and you'll know what Jesus can do. There is a reason for us to go through trials and tribulations. Most of the time its for you to come to Jesus. Praying for the person you know that has cancer,that god will put his healing hands upon them. Find a Nondenominational church and ask it they are baptized in the Holy Spirit (speaking in tongues). I was in Almosa CO looking for a church and it was under Nondenomination but when we went to the church and I asked if they spoke in tongues she said no they don't believe in it. We didn't return. It's in th he book of John chapter 3. I was sent by God to this small church and it was like no other religion I've been to. I went to few religions seeking for forgiveness for my sin that religions don't believe that God forgives. They was ALL wrong. God forgives ALL sins except one "THE DENIAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT". Give it a chance, miracles is what really brings us to follow Jesus. 🤷♀️ Your Bible is your Noahs Ark of today. Love ya sister H.O.G FAMILY IS THE ONLY MEMBER I WANT TO BE WITH...TOM IS A GIFT FROM GOD IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. Watch "Fighter" and "Best Rapper Ever" 🙏 📖 🙏 🧎♀️ 🙏 🧎♂️. 🙋♀️
my son as just finished his tredment and i tell you this just setting there lession to this song togiver will he’s was in pain and i was struggling to be there from him and both just crying is a moment i’ll never forget it helped so much
Tom's music can make you think, laugh, cry and get angry, sometimes all in one song. My recommendation is Best Rapper Ever, it's one of my favourites from Tom and in my opinion Nova's best video work. #HOG in the UK 🇬🇧
Tom does a video called 'Fighter' . I would really like to see your reaction to what I would call his attempt to help those who have almost given up. I know because when I've been so far down that I have to reach up just to scratch rock bottom, somehow, his message brings me back. Bless you
His song “sober” is really good too. It’s about the struggles he went through and how he got where he is now. It features Madchild and Toms girlfriend Nova. Also, you don’t need to do this, but you should link the original video in the description just to show Tom a little support:) great reaction:)
As a Father of a child with leukemia the long dark nights when you're on your knees praying and damning God at the same time begging to know why he did this to your baby. Tom Macdonald is a real one
Think about it! Only one kind of Aids, only one kind of MS, only one kind of pretty much every other disease but so many kinds of Cancer. Tom is right on with this one. I lost my wife of 12 years and she was only 33 years old. You are my favorite reactor right now, keep up the great work and keep lighting up the world with your smile! God Bless
I've been avoiding listening to this song for personal reasons, I have alot going on in life and don't want to add anymore sadness, but I watched it with you and cried with you. Tom really shows how much he loves ALL people with his music. Anyways, thanks for reacting to this song and keep smiling 😊 #HOG4LIFE
My Daddy got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and not the kind from smoking either it’s where he did construction work and became a supervisor worked at the same company for 36 years. He found out in end of February 2023 and died October 10th 2023!! Cancer sucks…🥺😭🙏🏼🙌🏼😇 He’s my angel now.❤️🥰💯. Sorry to hear about your family member. H.O.G. -4- LIFE 🤟🏼🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥
Time has many sides of him...if you liked this one watch castles and my fans....have a blessed day and stay strong...have you ever thought of doing a double header two vids back to back of tom...check out in god we trust.. he is with Adam nova struggle and hin....awesome song.
This song always makes me tear up. I lost my dad @ (47), mom @ (60) and younger brother @ (30) all to 3 different types of cancer =_(. On a positive note my son was diagnosed with stage 4 testicular cancer at 26 and went threw 2 1/2 years of chemo, 4 surgeries and a stem cell transplant and he is now 32 and cancer free. Knock on wood. It was hard going thru that with my son knowing the bad outcomes from the other family members but my son was a HS football player and wrestler and had the fighting spirt it took to beat it. Great reaction Vanessa!
My Mom is a cancer survivor and went through it first. Sadly my Dad passed from stomach cancer. In my mind, I thought it would be the other way around. My Dad, at 80 years old could kick most people's butts 30 years his junior. Tough as nails and the picture of health. One day he said I'm finally feeling my age and a month later he was diagnosed with cancer. This is one of Tom's best lines and he has many. You won't how to be brave 'til you choose to fight when you're afraid And you can't experience strength 'til you struggle to carry the weight And you won't know why you have faith 'til you look the devil in his face And you don't know what you can take 'til you realize that you didn't break
This song has gotten me through a lot. Still I cry every time I hear it. My mother decided to be with GOD 3 years ago. I’ll never fault her. She found her piece. Amazing song. Moving forward, don’t edit your emotions. Songs like this bring out the realest in all of us.
Hi Vanessa I'm new subscriber and I love your videos. This song is great and sad I haven't had family members die from cancer, but I had 2 brothers die In car accidents and when you lose a family member it hurts really bad.
Tom's grandfather passed away 11 plus years ago due to cancer. When Tom's grandmother finally beat leukemia a week before this video was released. On the album the name of the track was called f* cancer, but because of RU-vid, Tom' changed the title.
I can't watch this video and not sob. My ex wife is a cancer survivor. My aunt is a breast cancer survivor. And I lost a good friend 10 years ago to Pancreatic Cancer. It is awful and I have to believe there is a cure but like Tom said...40 years of research and $90 billion in donations. Sadly...they want the money. I hope some day soon they figure it out and cure it. No one should have to suffer like that. Another banger reaction!! Keep it up!!

My child is in Madison, and is 15, it's so hard as a father because you want to perteck them, but this not something you can protect them from, you feel like you're hand's are tied
