'I can diarrhoea and do a crossword, but I will CRY when I vomit' is so spiritually relateable. Both when I was doing chemo and every other day of my life generally. Keep on, keep strong, Grace!

You got this. I've survived cancer twice. My son survived stage 4 colon cancer. My mother has survived 3 rounds of cancer (2 different types) I know it's scary. Do lots of positive affirmations. The gratitude practice is a brilliant idea. We love you and we're praying for you.

I had non-hodgkin lymphoma when I was 20 years old. In hindsight it was a time of great changes. What really helped me was realizing that being afraid of dying meant that I was still living. I became very accepting of my current state. When I was happy I was happy, when I was sad I was sad. And when I was afraid I realized that I was just afraid. It all meant that I was still living, so I enjoyed even the bad parts. The thing is, we only die for like a second and then we're dead. All the time leading up to that second is still us, experiencing life and I wasn't going to miss that life by not experiencing it. Hope that makes sense and helps someone out there

I can relate to this so much. At the end of 2022, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. And the 10 months after were the worst of my life. It was the longest, scariest time of my life. There were so many times where I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it to my next birthday. There were so many things that I had to accept. The hair loss was the hardest for me because I could see my sickness in the mirror. Shaving my head was traumatic and very difficult. My chemo rounds were week long hospital visits with a lot of nausea, headaches and sadness. I almost lost hope so many times. BUT. Even though I was going to some horrible things, I fought incredibly hard to keep my positive attitude. I knew that dwelling too long on my negative thoughts wouldn’t help me much. It wouldn’t change what I had to deal with. I did my best to keep a smile on my face when I could. I appreciated the little things in life. My nurses always told me that I was such a patient and positive patient when it came to everything I was going through. That made me happy because even though I was feeling like crap, I wasn’t taking it out on other people. Some things were harder to accept. Staying in my house for days/weeks on end was hard. And not seeing my family for months at a time was also very hard. It was a lonely time because no one knew how I was feeling and what I was dealing with. I joined a couple of fb groups, and those helped a little. They at least made me see that I wasn’t the only person in the world dealing with it since that’s what it felt like. I’m have since been able to return to work part time. I have slowly build back to the person I once was. It is a little bit tough since I can be a stubborn person. But I’m getting there. I apologize for the longest post ever. But Grace, you got this. You are going to kick cancer and you’ll get back to the person you once were soon. Though you’re going to be a much stronger person at the end of this. You already seem to be, but you will see life in such a different light and you’ll appreciate things soo much more. I wish you all the best and strength in this journey.❤

When I was diagnosed with Stage 3c grade 2 cervical/uterine cancer I was "ok" until I was told I would lose my hair. BUT once I lost it, it was one of the most freeing experiences of my life. I embraced the baldness. Lots of caps and hats and even going "commando". Didn't do wigs, it just wasn't me. You do what makes you feel ok during this God awful journey.

I’ve been watching your content for over 10 years now, and you have always been my favorite creator on this website. Very recently, after joining me on a cross-country journey to move me to California, my mom has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Uterine Cancer. It has been so hard being away from her when I feel like she needs me most, but by you sharing your experiences and journey, in a way it feels like I’m learning and able to help her. I can’t thank you enough for being such a huge part of my life growing up, and I’m so happy we get to be there for you and listen to your experiences as you go through this. You’ve got so many people sending you good energy and support, and I just know that you’ll push through all these hardships and get to the other side of this thing stronger than ever before!

I’m 27 and going through a lot of similar things while we are trying to basically figure out which gastro related auto immune disease I have. Hairs falling out, teeth falling out, puking daily, shitting my pants, endless and expensive appointments and procedures. Waiting on multiple biopsy results. It feels like hell like 75% of my days. Seeing your updates and your mindset that you show us is really encouraging for me and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we all think you’re phenomenal and want to keep hearing more as you feel up to it 🥰 I’ve kept up with you and mamrie and Hannah and hank and John for SO long, and to hear the goods and the bads and the gross and the weirds helps me so so much.

Hi Grace! Thank you for posting about your experience. I was also diagnosed with Triple + breast cancer at just 29 years old in July and have my second round of chemo this week. Feels like we’re going on this journey together. I’ve had the same experience so far with all of the same side effects. It was a brutal first round. I’ve started losing my hair this week. I’ll probably shave my head soon. 😢 We’ll rock the bald heads together. Wishing you the best - we’ll fight through this! ❤

Mashed potatoes were my aunt’s favorite post chemo food! “Chemo brain” is also a thing with forgetfulness. She also cold capped & cut her hair a little shorter than yours, she kept some of her hair and lost some. She wore a lot of hats, but did not shave the rest. As a whole she’s glad she did it and the grow back process was less drastic with her keeping her hair. But I know the cold capping process was a lot to keep up with!

you asked for a life update from us, so buckle up! i've spent the last year at doctor after doctor after doctor trying to identify, manage, and treat the chronic condition(s) i have been struggling with (undiagnosed) for about 15 years. i have at least 16 specialists and physical/mental therapists. it's super fun!!!!!!! /s. so although my situation is different, i still relate to a lot of what you're talking about. i've come to realize that there's a sort of grief in being sick, like grieving the loss of the person you were before and the control of your health. it really does get lonely and scary sometimes. i like what you said about treating it like a challenge and an opportunity for growth though, I honestly hadn't thought of it that way but i'm going to ponder that now. because hoooo boy is it challenging! so anyways thank you for being so open and honest and willing to share your situation with those of us who, although not cancer-related for me, are dealing with similar feelings. and i sincerely wish you the best of luck in the rest of treatment

I love and appreciate these updates both because of the relatable nature of the content and also because there seems to be some catharsis in the making of it for you. This particular video hit those points extra hard with me because I had a stroke last week and am still in the hospital trying to sort out my recovery process. I need to get a sign printed with "This shit sucks, but it’s also manageable, and it’s temporary. And some of it is so shitty that it’s hilarious." That's something to tell everyone who keeps asking what I need when they come to visit. I'll end this comment before I get too snarky or too emotional (impossible to predict) and because it's taken forever to type this. But thank you and fuck cancer.

I had pretty bad sores in my mouth during chemo. Salt water rinses really helped to calm them down (every 4 hours). I personally couldn't get past the taste of magic mouthwash but that's also an option, it has numbing medicine to help with pain. Also, one of the worst pains I would get would be in my sternum and hips following my Neulasta shot. If you start taking Claritin (specifically Claritin) everyday it helps to prevent bone pain. Although watching this content is a little triggering for me I also find it comforting in a weird way. You seem to be handling things very well and I pray that anyone struggling with cancer will find your videos and know that they will get through this. God bless!

since you said what what we're up to, hi I guess :) I watched some of your stuff at one point (I specifically remember having a minor fashion fan phase because of your met gala review videos), and the algorithm decided your cancer diagnosis was destined for my home page this morning. After having cancer on the brain from watching Hank Green go through it (long time vlogbrothers watcher) and losing a grandpa to untreatable lung cancer just this week, I clicked. Your honesty and optimism are refreshing and I'm so rooting for you now. I cannot believe the progress we have made on cancer treatment and human health overall. I'm not up to much right now but I got a new carbon steel pan in the mail (major treat yo self moment for me) and I'm very excited to season it and go nuts cooking new things in it!

First time for me I wore wigs, different styles and hair color. It was fine, but they were sooo hot! Second time I wore headscarves. I asked my coworkers if that would make them uncomfortable; next day they all wore a headscarf and at The end of the work day, they each gave me the scarf they were wearing. The support and solidarity was touching. Cancer treatment is a lonely fight, even though you are not alone. As far as the amnesia stuff, I was given meds that produced short term amnesia so I wouldn’t remember how bad it was on me. Cry if you want to, feel every emotion as it comes, don’t ask yourself “why me?” Just face it head on in that fabulous Grace Helbig way, you’ll find out how strong you really are. Remember, this is a temporary rock in your road, it will end, ut in the meantime, kick the hell outta that nasty cancer and show it who’s boss. I love you, Grace, take care and stay strong.

Hello, Grace. I’ve watched you for some time now, as a younger teenager now into my 20s. I have been a registered nurse for 2 years now, I started in the ICU during the storm of COVID. Recently I had a patient who had a new diagnosis of cancer, and I was comforting her as best as I knew how, until it dawned on me, she needs someone like you, who emanates charisma. I recommended for her to watch your videos as you bring so much light and brilliance to such a heavy condition. Thank you for being you. Even after all of these years, as you once helped me through my teenage years, I can now provide help to others through you. Thank you for everything you do, feel better soon. Stay hydrated and remember you are not alone in this world. 🖤

It's crazy it's already been a little over 7 months. My mom did about 3 months of chemo, (two different types) every other week. Similar to Grace, my mom got sick which was a scary 3 weeks. She lost a ton of weight during that time, but she got through it. She's now 2 months post mastectomy. She's getting stronger every day, but still struggling with neuropathy. She doesn't have to do radiation, just take a pill for 5 years, which is great. Now we just live in hope that it never comes back, which is kind of unnerving, but I try not to think about it. Sorry if this was an overshare, I just wanted to give another perspective similar to yours. Every treatment and way it affects a person is different, but if you have any questions you can always ask me. Sending well wishes to you and your mom.♥@@auntiee_m

Regarding hair. Different situation, but I hope the similarities can help. It was a roller coaster. Back in 2019 I shaved my head for and to donate my hair to charity (200g and 64cm of thick wavy/curly hair). I convinced myself it didn't mean anything to me because I had almost always had long thick hair and hated that people used it as part of my identity. I first shaved the sides for a few weeks and absolutely LOVED it. Then, I shaved the rest. I spent the first day crying in my bed with my mirrors all covered. I didn't realise how much of a shock it was going to be and part of me was disappointed with myself for caring. I thought that I wasn't losing anything by shaving my head because it would grow back, but what I learnt was that I was "losing" the time to grow it back. For the first week I just focused on my reason, which was charity. I didn't know anyone personally but it was something I really wanted to do because I had a resource I could easily get back and it would go to someone who couldn't. Once my hair was longer than my eyebrows, I actually started to like it. I could drive with the window down. It felt fun to touch. And then the first day I randomly put on a wig, I realised, I now had a blank slate to accessorise my head however I wanted. I was having fun with it. My first trip to a barber was one of the best hair based experiences I've ever had. Every time I thought he was done he would go back in with a different tool to be even more precise. He listened to exactly what I wanted and gave advice where I was unsure. My hair grew out and I kept playing with different pixy styles. If covid didn't hit, my plan was to dye it different colours, but I wanted to do it properly through a colourist as the first colour was going to be silver and I am NOT skilled enough to pull that off on my hair. Basically, if you've gotten this far, I know people can get scared about losing their hair. I get that now, even though I still kind of resent mine because I still don't know how to properly look after it. I would no longer try to convince someone to shave their beard off they have had for years. BUT it can present opportunities to have fun. I'm glad you have already looked into options like getting the scarves. Having something to look forward will help it seem less intimidating. Honestly, I could see you still creating different personas for the wigs and just having fun with it. Or you might decide you enjoy the freedom of no hair and just put hair on when you feel like it. Totally practical. Billy Zane does it :P Whatever happens, it will be a journey, and more so due to everything associated with it. But we love you Grace and look forward to when you can post your full recovery video.

I still was worried tho because her family also has a high mortality rate in these situations. I can't know exactly what you are going through but I will say that my mom is still here with us today after going through double mastectomy, and reconstructive surgery, chemo, and radiation. She is 58 and does still deal with some left over damage but the fact that she went through so much and can do the things she does now today is absolutely amazing. I believe you can do well through this as well.

It's so taboo for people to share their experience going through this in their life when it shouldn't be because the likely chance is that someone has experienced it or had someone in the personal/family life experience it is almost certain. It's so rare to find anyone in day to day that hasn't dealt with cancer in one way or another. Documenting this experience is such a great insight not only for those who have gone through it but for those of us who have a greater chance to go through it due to genetics or whatever. Thanks, Grace. Keep kickin' ass.

Oh, how I’ve missed you Grace! Watching this felt like I had my old friend back, when I was watching your videos you made in your tiny New York apartment. It’s evident that your resilience and good nature is letting this experience bring out the best in you, and I’m so appreciative of you for sharing it with me and all of us! It’s evident you feel a sense of purpose with these videos, and it makes you shine. In my little sometimes sad and lonely world, it’s so lovely to laugh with you! (As I was audibly laughing along with you throughout this entire one) it feels like being with a best friend ❤ honored to be with you on this journey

good job Grace!!! I'm going into surgery to have my ovarian tumor removed in a couple of weeks and we'll know after they go in whether or not I'll need rounds of chemo as well. This is suuuper helpful in the sense that I was feeling a bit crazy for secretly geeking out on the new things I learn and the new way in which I've been challenging myself :)

Not gonna lie, this is your most honest and best content. I adore it. I love that you aren't shitting rainbows about it while keeping a really good attitude about it and putting your unique Helbig twist on it with humor and darkness at the same time. After watching you since my early 20's (I'm 37 now) I sort of grew up into adulthood with you, I really started to apply your embracing of the suck while also turning into something hilarious while not ignoring or nullifying my feelings. People have often told me that because I face both sides of things I bring comfort to them. I learn that from you and watching you do it about this particular rock in the path is very comforting to me. I don't know if that made sense. But I'm okay with it if it didn't I feel like you understand me. Do what content feels right for you but I absolutely have loved watching you start this journey and see your perspective.

A course of chemotherapy usually takes between 3 to 6 months, although it can be more or less than that. The treatment will include one or more chemotherapy drugs. You may have the chemotherapy into a vein (intravenous drugs), or as tablets or capsules. Cycles of treatment During a course of treatment, you usually have around 4 to 8 cycles of treatment. A cycle is the time between one round of treatment until the start of the next. After each round of treatment you have a break, to allow your body to recover. So if your cycle lasts 4 weeks, you may have treatment on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days and then nothing from the 4th to the 28th day. Then the cycle starts again. Or, as another example, you may have a 3 week cycle where you have treatment on the 1st and 8th days, but nothing on days 2 to 7 and days 9 to 21. I love you and much love

Oh, Grace. I don't have cancer, but I have a *lot* of autoimmune stuff happening, and the side effects do overlap a bit. As a fellow cry puker, I feel you. One of the big things happening right now for me is that my hair is falling out at an alarming pace. Put my hair up in a ponytail the other day, and I'm like, "Oh, so I'm basically bald. Cool." It's a lot, what your body gives up because it decides it's expendable. I think of you often, and I really hope that things go well for you.

I’m glad you’re getting treatment and moving through this with a sense of humor as is helpful in situations especially medical things like this. I hope for a full recovery and that you make it through this smoothly and… gracefully 😂… 😅.. I’ll see myself out, really though, I hope you’re managing well, and that you make it through this strongly, we love you and want you to be well. Much Love and Blessings.

Hey Grace. I just wanted to say I’ve been watching you since the that damn channel days. In December 2022 I got news that I am HIV positive. I was in a country that deemed HIV illegal, so I also got deported. I started my medication a few months back, and I really relate to every single word you’re saying. Everything feels weird, there’s a sensation that you’re getting to know this ‘new body’ in a way. I have insane headaches because of the medication, oral ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, HIV rash, and lots more. I wanted to say thank you for sharing your journey, I know how hard it is to talk about these things and how tired you must be feeling. I’m so appreciative. I’m anonymously sharing my story while you’re out there being so vulnerable and unapologetically your strong self. I haven’t been seeing content that relates to me lately and this has me feeling seen. I love you so much. You got this. Like you said, all this discomfort is temporary and you will be done with it in no time. Yes no doubt this shit sucks, but you fucking rock. I love you ❤

I have an undiagnosed disease and awaiting on the last possible doctor appointment on the list whilst I largely stay home-bound. I've been trying to accept the uncertainty and that there's nothing more that I can do. So I've been really into finding my true colour palette, body type, style and fashion videos (and of course lots of TV shows) hahaha! It is a lovely distraction for me to do research on something lighthearted, fun and more exciting rather than research endlessly about conditions when I know there's no more to look at. I really appreciate your perspective on trying to take this as a challenge and room for more emotional growth than could have occurred without this. In fact I naively thought I had reached "inner peace" haha before being confronted with mortality hah. But you're right in that it's brought up stuff that I would have never bothered to heal had I not gone through this experience. So thank you for sharing your experience. For me personally, it really does make me feel less alone :)
