My Thyroid Cancer Story - What a Month - 02/05/2023 

Guys got a broken freakin' neck, broken arm has been through hell and he is worried about getting us a video to keep us updated. Absolute legend, thinking of you Joe.

You are one incredible individual. You have been through hell, and you still have such candid eloquence. I admire your stoic nature, and I have been entirely moved by you. Bless you, sir. Thank you for all of your posts. You matter Joe. You always will.

"If I knew dying would be such a drag then I would have given it a hard pass." - My grandmother, days before her passing.

“As long as I have breathe I won’t stop fighting” Joe Plater. He kept his word. Love and light Joe. ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙✨✨✨

Norm MacDonald on battles with cancer: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”

I hope you know that your strength, personality, and sense of humour will be remembered by many watching you across the globe. I've never met you, but through these videos, I've come to really appreciate everything you represent as a human being. Sorry life was so tough to you - you didn't deserve this at all. But you have, and will continue to inspire many people with your videos.

You seem to be handling it with composure and dignity. As a fellow cancer sufferer around the same age, I find it inspiring.

You are allowed to cry. You are allowed to feel tired. You are allowed to feel what you are feeling due to what you are going through. You are an amazing person Joe. Anyone that says anything harsh such as you're faking crying for views, has NO idea what it's like to live with what you're dealing with and they'd cry too. I know you've got limited time, but I'm always glad to see videos of yours and knowing you're still here. Keep fighting for your comfort because you deserve to be comfortable with whatever time you have left with the world. Thank you, for sharing your story with us. Despite it not being easy to share your story to a lot of random people on the internet, it's a story that will for sure inform and help a lot of people in the future.

As a fellow stage 4 who just had a curve ball and lying in specialist unit trying to fight multiple issues. Thank you for this and wishing you as many pain free and joyful hours & days that you can have x

I’m in a similar situation. My Cancer treatment has side effects that totally wipe me out. I’m thinking of quitting. Your journey has helped me immensely. You do you young man. Your courage is inspiring. We will both pass soon. I salute you young Man. I wish you the best. I’ve learned how to cope with Cancer thru you.

No words. You're incredible. Wish more people in this world would be as straightforward and real as you are.

Lamp! The freaking courage you have Joe

Lamp. I'm just a random internet nobody but I want you to know you and your story have touched me deeply. Thank you for the update and thank you for always being your amazing self.

Hey Joe, we are still here with you and send you much love and hugs and comfort. You are such a wonderful inspiration to so many, more than you know. Keep fighting Joe, you are an absolute warrior 💜

Watching you has changed my entire look on life and I’m not scared to say I’ve cried watching every single one of your videos. I’ve taken my life for granted and at 45 I’m healthy and everything works. I make such a huge deal about ageing and it’s made me mentally unwell as the years progress, I’ve no idea why I suffer so much over something so trivial but I do. After watching your videos I’ve started to change my mindset as well as way of living. I’ve stopped smoking after 30 years, will never touch one again. I’ve gone to the gym and feel more settled in cherishing my years on this earth instead of dreading them. You have the axes to grind even though u don’t ever complain, what you’re going through is crueler than cruel and incredibly difficult for me to watch. I do it out of sheer respect and admiration for you but also to help me try and enjoy my existence since none of us know when that’s gonna change, you are proof of that. I’m terribly sorry for what’s happening to you but I’m incredibly proud of you for keeping such positivity through these toughest of times. My father passed away at only 62 with prostate cancer and I watched him go from the dad I knew to a thin skeleton laying in a bed not able to hold his bodily functions, talk or walk, it’s a loss I will never be able to move on from but listening to you gives me a little more strength, I’ve no idea why but you single handedly have changed my entire view on how I feel and how I see things. You’re absolutely incredible and I salute you and want to say thank you.

Hey Joe, great to see you, we’re all thinking about you and wishing well to your family. Hope you can find meaning in the time that you have

Glad to see you!! You've come a very, VERY long way, and it's okay for you to be tired, just like you said. It's okay to cry, too. You're at the highest peak of this mountain, you've been through so much, you've seen so much, you're been robbed of a lot- but I hope at the very least youve been surrounded by love the entire time. You yourself as so strong for how hard you've fought, and you've done everything in your power- and that in itself is inspiring. I can't know what you've been through, I'm only 19, but you make me cherish the little things and inspire me to pursue medicine and cancer research in hopes of even bumping something a little further along for people. Because you deserve the world, you deserve a long, prosperous life and time with your wife and family. I wish I could give you my own time, as lame to think as that it. Lamp!! Farewell for now, Joe. Be well,

The light you still have in your eyes is something amazing. There is something really powerful in how you “watch us” through your camera and you are trusting us with your honest message. You are a magnificent human being… Lamp 💡

2nd watch through of this video…I learn new insights every time. I love when you said,”People criticize me for crying to get clicks…I have cancer you idiots. It hurts.” I butchered the quote…but I have cried so many times because of the intense pain. Keep being real Joe. I love ya man!!!! Keep fighting. So inspiring to another Stage 4 thyroid guy.

Stage 4 for going on 11 years. Starting new chemo this week and have gained strength from seeing you pushing on. May you find relief from physical pain and comfort with those you love for as long as you are able to.❤

This video is so heart-wrenching but you still manage to make me laugh -- you listing all the fake "cures" and telling "big pharma" loons to shut the fu*k up was my personal favourite moment. Your complete intolerance for bullshit is a beautiful aspect of your character, and has probably steered some vulnerable people away from that nonsense. Your videos are life-saving and I'll forever be grateful I found your channel. I look forward to the next upload. Lots of love. Lamp.

The entire health care INDUSTRY should adopt the Hospice care model. Joe, you will be in my thoughts here on in. By the way, the video and audio was perfect. Heartfelt gratitude.

You continue to articulate your shit show beautifully. Lamp

Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my sister to stomach cancer on the 30th of January. She was 44. She fought so hard and so long, and I always wondered what was going through her head, it sounds mad but we didn’t talk about it much, she didn’t want to and we respected that. Towards the end she was totally shut down. Lost in “total pain” as they call it. We all tried to second guess what she may be thinking or feeling and react the right way and do the right things - I know I worry I may have made mistakes. Some days I was just there, I hope that was enough. Your videos have given me an insight into what she may have been thinking and feeling and I am comforted by that, tho you and she were different people, your stories and attitudes to it all are so eerily similar. She was given no hope but she was as tough as they come, just as you are. LAMP fella, and thank you again. Best wishes. x

My heart is broken , what a wonderful and amazing man , RIP dear one and I’m SO relieved you are finally at peace now 🕊️

Thank you for updating Joe. It can’t have been easy. I don’t think anyone really cares about any technical shortfalls, we’re here because we care about you and are invested in you, not your tech. It sounds like a really rough week, I hope radiation gives you some relief, and I’m glad you’re in a place that can care for you more appropriately, the Hospital sounds horrendous. Sending you support and best wishes from Oz.

Hey Joe, you are a truly brave and inspiring human, and your light shines so bright despite all the hell you’ve been through. You’ve been on my mind for a while and I’m sending you my very best wishes from halfway around the world. Thank you for being you.

LAMP. ❤️ Searing honesty is hard to hear, Joe, but you’re not sparing us any of your experiences. I have no wish to see you suffer any more, but I can see you want to relish what life you have while you can. Thank you Joe, that’s all I can say. May your final journey be as peaceful and pain free as possible. You have left a huge impression on me and so many others. Love and peace to you and yours. ❤

Joe, how u doing bud? Any updates? Just been wondering about you. From Canada, best wishes.

Truly sad that he passed away a few days ago.. Condolences to his family and may his story help others..

You're one brave guy, Joe. I admire your strength and honesty and hope things even out for you now you're settled in the hospice. Shining a light on this horrible disease is selfless and very important work. I wish you peace and happiness for the time that you have. Stay strong, Commander.

Lamp!! Joe you are an inspiration, always. My Dad passed of Anaplastic thyroid cancer, he was tough, he would never mentally give in during life, always find a way to push forward. He grew weak. At some point in the weeks before he passed, he quietly told me he was running out of fight. He was ashamed of that. I told him that there is no shame in honesty. It’s ok to have days where you just can’t, you have cancer for goodness sake. He would sometimes cry, and feel ashamed because he was not a crier in normal life. Again, there is zero shame in being wide open and honest. His pain was, as you were in, full pain, physical and spiritual and emotional and mental pain. He had days where he was more stable, we had great laughs on those days which I’ll always treasure. Dad wanted to die at home, and because Marie Curie, Hospice At Home, and other similar options were not in the catchment area, I moved back home to care for him, to let him die where he wanted to. Joe, I only tell you this because I want you to know that you too are more than entitled to cry, to run out of steam on some days, all days, whatever the case may be for you. This is your time. If you need a softer pillow, it’s your right to have it. You are still the driver of your own train, and while the train may keep puffing along while you are taking some well deserved rest, it’s puffing along because of your prior instructions and wants and needs. You can take time off while still being in full control. As a nurse myself, I would like to say that I agree entirely with everything you said about the hospital. While I have never visited nor worked in that specific hospital, it’s an awful epidemic nationwide. There are sadly, nurses and other staff members, who in the midst of overwork and underpay, forget that people are individuals with opinions and thoughts and family and entitlement. One of the things that I despise is how we treat our dementia patients, nurses often think that the louder they speak, the better a confused patient will hear, it makes no sense. While I was a ward sister, I really truly came down on that sort of treatment, and I would like to offer my sincerest apology on behalf of my profession. Take this example if you will. A confused patient in pain who needs to be turned and cleaned for fear of bedsores forming or worsening. Example A: staff hold down the patient while talking louder and louder, despite the voicing of fear and pain. The reasoning is bevause it needs to be done, there are a million more patients and this patient is just holding up the process line, so we tell them that. “You realise you are just holding us up while there are people more poorly than you here that need us much more than you do”. Example B: same patient as before, same reasoning for turning and cleaning. We lower ourselves to the patients level, we speak softly and calmly and explain the what, where, when and why of the process. Even if they don’t understand us, we treat them with the same respect and explanation as though they did. One nurse holds a hand and talks softly with eye contact, while the other nurse starts the washing, slowly and gently. Perhaps this patient says he will only tolerate this once his family arrives. That’s ok, he may have an odour, but we juggle our order of jobs to revisit him later. Perhaps he has too much pain for this, so we assess and treat pain to the best of our ability firstly, and return in an hour to see how his pain is…. Perhaps we can clean his top half now, lower half later. Something that I really dislike is when newer nurses assume every patient is unable to do anything. If the situation allows, I will always hand the patient a washcloth and suggest they get to work on their face and hands, while I do harder to reach areas…. Often times the patient will continue and wash most of their body themselves. If they need help, we give it. Distraction is key, we talk about pets, family, tv shows, we build a rapport with that patient regardless of if they are staying for an hour, or a month. Human to human contact and kindness is key. We still have a million jobs to do, but that patient will never know that we are in a rush, because when we are with him, our focus is on him. He didn’t ask to be here, he would rather not be here, and our workload is not his concern. Sadly, I left bedside nursing for this very reason. There is a saying in nursing, the moment you stop feeling, it’s time to leave. I had to leave because so many staff members had stopped feeling due to huge demands, and I couldn’t bear to see it anymore. I tried my best to advocate for everyone, and make it a better place, but being just 1 nurse I failed. I moved into trauma and anaesthetics, then left my job to are for my dad for 3 months from diagnosis to his passing. Unfortunately, I have been left with quite severe CPTSD for various reasons, and am at present too unstable to return to work. Hospice is an entirely different thing, and I’m so glad you found somewhere that looks at you holistically, is able to talk to you and sit with you, and allow you to sit back and take that well needed break while still being the boss of your own train. My auntie was a nurse, and in her day, the staff would have to whisper at night, and check patients quietly by torchlight, ensuring the best environment for sleeping, as sleeping is so important to the body, whether to get better, or to manage the dying process easier. Thesedays, it’s a shitshow … it doesn’t surprise me that people were cleaning around you at 5am. You are in a great environment now. Make it a home from home, be demanding if you want, you are entitled to the things you want and need. This is a time for you, your family and your loved ones now, and I hope you can settle in to the new normal for now. With lots of love and huge respect, from Jo (Cotswolds, UK 🇬🇧)

Thinking of you Joe. Your unwavering strength, resolve and sense of humour in the face of overwhelming challenges, are a sobering source of inspiration and focus.

I don't know you, but I think about you a lot

Spent the afternoon with Joe & Kim yesterday. We “chewed the cud”, had lunch together, and I spent meaningful time with my best mate. To those “numpties” on here, you know who you are, go crawl back under the rock you emerged from. The majority seem like loving descent people, it’s a shame that a sad and twisted few have to try and ruin things for everyone else… they try, but ultimately they will always fail. Marc V x

When I was first diagnosed with melanoma, I had some send me a message. At first, I was thinking how nice. And then I read it. Basically, I was told I had caused my cancer because I ate meat and if I changed my diet, I wouldn’t need surgery, chemo or radiation. I blocked her. I am a nurse and my heart broke when I heard about your care. I hope hospice is good for you. Much love to you.

Hey Joe, we never met but you feel like the friend i never had, but wanted. Huge respect to you, i have learnt much of myself through your journey.

Been following you for a while now. I've learned a lot, especially how you tell it like it is, and do it will that amazing grin of yours. Hope they can get your pain under control! Even with that giant lump on your heard you are still simply adorable! Peace!

Never forget you Joe, Your courage and intelligence shined through all the pain you suffered. You put others first to tell your story in order to help others. A real hero. You are missed. Hope someone writes your story, it should be read. Be at peace wherever you are. Your fans and friends loved you.

I love your sense of humor and the way you tell off big pharma and even your providers. I absolutely adore my oncologist who's been nothing but kind and honest with me and I can't see myself saying anything negative to him. It's not his fault I have stage 4 met breast cancer to ribs, spine, long bones, lung and lymph. I'm ok for right now but already going into my 3rd year after diagnosis and I don't have a lot of "good time" left. I eat what I want, sleep a lot and watch movies and tv and read books. I try to exercise and walk a lot but I'm more tired than ever. I'm not sad, not resentful, not negative. It's time to sort of "go with it because there's nothing I can do to stop it". All I can do is hope for painfree comfort on my way out when it happens. That's what I wish for you, Joe---peace and comfort. Still gonna pray for your atheist arse! HUGS from Alabama!

I admire you so much Joe. Your strength and fight are truly astonishing. It hurts me to see such a wonderful guy suffering this hateful disease . Best wishes Joe. Lamp !

Look up bravery and courage in the dictionary (yeah I’m that old…pre-Google) and you’ll find this man’s name and picture. Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Lamp! You’re a beacon of light!

So lovely to see you again Joe but incredibly sad to hear what a tough time you are having. Thank goodness the hospice and hospice staff are kind and caring. Thinking of you and your family. You're so articulate. X

Seems to me in the States our healthcare is way better. Our downside is we go broke paying for it.

It’s beautiful to see an update. Your personality is one in a billion. Special guy for sure. We’re right here with you, if only digitally. Sending you all the love in the world.

You have more courage in your little finger than most people have in their entire body xx

Thank you for this upload. I have been thinking of you everyday since your last upload. Seeing you now has given me both hope and sadness (for the previous weeks of challenges and pain). You are a teacher, whether you know that or not, as well as a friend to many people whom you've never met personally. Thank you, friend, for your generosity and humanity in these harsh times. And yes, you are a shining light in the world.

I'm glad you're still with us! Lots of love buddy, I hope things stay manageable for you

Sending you so much love, Joe. Always in my thoughts! Even in all your pain, you still make us laugh. Youre truly an amazing man! ❤❤❤

Hi Joe, I'm just checking in to see how you are. Thinking about you mate.

You're right about people telling you to try some alternative treatments. They don't work, it's nonsense. But we can be grateful for the Facts and Science we have today! Please don't forget that. O, and Lamp of course!

Lamp 🙏 Thank you so much for the effort you have put in to this post Joe… the editing is spot on so don’t worry about that! I used to live in Watford so know the General very well… it needs more than just help!! I was going to write stay strong but no.. you don’t need to stay strong now Joe, you let others be strong for you. I love you man… x

You are a complete champion of a human being. Thankyou for sacrificing your time to give perspective on this gauntlet of difficulty you have endured.

So very sorry for your loss 💔Kim & Joe’s family my heart breaks for you all. Joe is a hero in my eyes, such a wonderful, tenacious, kind, intelligent and brave human being he will be missed by many Rest In Peace Joe ♥️😢x

Dear Joe, despite all of cancer's attempts over the years, there's one thing it's never been able to take away from you : your charm ! It's always there: when you laugh, when you cry, when you're scared, when you're calm, when you have hair, when you don't... Screw you cancer, you can never steal that !

"Lamp Joe Plater bringing the light to RU-vid", kidding :). I can`t explain why I love to see you so much and share your experience even tho is something so horrible you are living trough. You really change the way I see so many things, and I'm gratefull that you let us be a part of your existence. Thank you from Argentina (WHAT A REACH JOE🤣😚)

It is nice to know that you have so many people that care about you! Don't give up! You are an amazing human being! We all love you Joe!

Hey joe, im sorry your situation is so shit. Please take some comfort in knowing you are incredibly brave and inspiring. Even though you are terrified, just making these videos show your strength in character. I hope your last days are beautiful. All of us that have followed you love you.

Never seen you before, but you popped up on my stream. I see you now, and you are mighty. Thank you for your generous spirit. Peace.

Hi Joe! Hope you're doing fine. Greetings from Germany. Please let us know what's up. Fight!

So good to see you. I think about you and your wife daily. Your blogs have been life changing and I will never forget the respect I have gained for you both. ❤❤

We've been worried about you Joe...good to see you! Your story is heartbreaking yet your strength of character is astonishing!

I cracked up when you said water fasting for 30 days. I really don't think that's a good idea in normal circumstances but it's even worse when you're very unwell and need energy to fight. It sucks man. I've been watching you since the beginning. It just seems so unfair how some people have to deal with this BS.

Has anyone heard from joe latly

Thank you for sharing all you have, I’m going to school starting in a month to be a nurse. What that means to me is to help someone feel as comfortable as possible mentally and physically while they go through a difficult time. I don’t like how many nurses handle (or don’t..) their patients. I will make a difference when I step through those doors, I promise. Thank you for having an honest conversation about all of this. Cheers to your life!!!! You did it. :)

You are the Lamp to continue to share videos in your state of pain. God bless you, man.👍

Hi Joe, there are no adequate words to describe what you’ve endured and continue to endure. So glad a hospice space became available for you to get you out of the ward. Blimey, that seems a strange thing to say but hopefully you know what I mean. I hope the pain and any other symptoms can be managed well and that you’ll have access to all you need to make this as comfortable and smooth as it can possibly be for you and all you love. I hope you can feel the love from people commenting here for you and your family. You are an exceptional man. 💞

Lamp! And love to you and yours from a stranger who is in awe of your courage, humour and straightforward talking. All power to you. Tears are good. Crying is ok. Thank you for showing us the way x

This man is dying, and trolls have the audacity to talk sh*t to this guy and leave nasty comments? Special place for those people

Sorry you had an awful hospital experience (I have also been put into a ward years ago that made the film one flew over the cuckoo's nest look like the ritz) who can get better in a hell hole like that? America envy our NHS???,they should be admitted sometime then get back to me. I heard a great saying by Patrick Swayze when he had cancer was "I'm not going to chase staying alive,but I want to live"sending you hugs and many woo woo healing crystal energy your way 😉😉 ❤

You amaze me Joe, your strength and resilience is second to none! You’re a hero for many reasons imho. So glad you’ve updated us was getting worried, that said I’d seen you on Twitter so was relieved. Sending as always a massive bunch of love to you and your wife and your family ♥️♥️♥️

Such a sharp brain & mind, AND with that lovely sense of humour intact, despite everything that's going on. Have nothing but the deepest respect for you.Courage & strength!🍀🌸

You are a brave man Joe! I take my hat of and make a deep bow for you. Lots of hugs! 😘❤️

An absolutely incredible man. That’s what you are. So much strength, courage, and humour even in your toughest days. I have no words ❤

Joe you have fought the good fight. You dont need me or anyone else really to tell you what is blatantly obvious in that you can hold your head up high in the knowledge that you've done yourself and your family proud. Ive been watching you for a long time snd i just really want to tell you that i need your wife to steal that fucking lamp when she gets there.

I honestly don't know how you do this - documenting your declining health and morale. You're amazing. How dare anyone accuse you of crying for likes? Lamp, lamp, lamp, lamp, lamp, lamp . . .

Total respect to you and what you've achieved in the last 6+ years, from raising so much money for charity to help educate others in such an honest way...oh and respect to the lamp too 💪🏼

Joe, my fiancé & I have the utmost respect for you. You’re such a huge inspiration to us all. After everything you’ve been through and you’re still smiling. That takes one hell of a strong man. 💚 My father has neuroendocrine cancer. He has been in & out of hospital lately unfortunately. Dad has said exactly the same to me about the nurses, wards etc. Sorry you had to go through that. Glad to hear you’re being well looked after now. Hope to see more of you and your lamp soon. Sending love & best wishes to you and your family. B x

hope you are comfortable and looking forward to your next video

Lamp… because you ARE the light 💡 even though the journey was dark you held your head high ❤ RIP brave soldier.

Joe I’m so happy to see you. I have been thinking about you hoping you were still with us. Thank you for sharing with us what has been happening, a-bit of a shit show you’ve had. Glad your are receiving the care and support from the hospice team you so deserve. They are truly amazing people. Try to keep your courage up and your sense of humour too. Good luck with the radio therapy. Will be thinking of you. ❤

I want to wish you all the best buddy. you are an inspiration. i cherish every day due to your story and vids. im planning Christmas and it feels wrong you may had you your last. youve been dealt a hand and held it so well. no one knows what is around the corner but what a man! you have inspired alot of people and you have put thyroid cancer out there. you should be so proud. i hope you are pain free and can enjoy your time with your family and friends.

Joe I am so sorry that you are going through this awful journey 😢 You are one amazing human being..Just want you to know that we all love you ❤

Don't ever say you don't have the courage. You've been one of the most courageous people on the planet. Any person fighting for this long is courageous! 💚💚💚

This reminds me of when our 5 yr old son was dying from liver cancer and was in the hospital. The nurse didn't think he needed anymore pain medication. It didn't take long for my husband to throw himself over the nurse's station to go after the nurse who refused to call the Dr for permission to give him another shot before the 8 hours from his previous injection. Fortunately, he prevented himself from inflicting any harm to the nurse, the doctor was called, more medication given to a young boy who was dying. Shame on any hospital or doctor who tells you what you know you need! God Bless you!

LAMP ! Joe, when you said " I'm running low on hope.. running low on courage ".. unashamedly this made me tear up, because one of the things I've adored about you is the incredible way you have faced this, and worked your way through this to the point you are now. I think when your time comes you're going to be staring it straight in the eye and saying " Here I am fucker.. it is what it is.. " . It's an honour to bear witness to your journey, Joe. You have already made and continue to make your unmistakeable mark on the world.. and goddamnit, if you find tears in your eyes, just know that goddamnit, we're already teared up, wishing like hell your journey could be otherwise.. Joe.. KNOW that you're a hell of a guy, and I will never forget your ways of dealing with the shit that's been dealt to you, and showing me the courage it takes to life a life well lived..

Lamp. You are often in my thoughts and grateful to see this video of you even though it was hard to hear how tough it’s been. Your tears are warranted and I cried with you. Thinking of you all the way from Australia 🦋💙💚💗

You are an amazing human. You and others like you are exactly why I have worked in cancer research for the past 12 years. All the best to you and your family and I hope the radiotherapy goes well. Lamp!

Hey joe, I watched this video when it came out and was heartbroken to see your situation has deteriorated so much. Just now i had a thought about you and was hoping you were still as okay as can be expected. Hope you've had a good few days. Lamp

Not to blame him because he didn't owe us jack shit, but when he said "there will be other videos, I promise" I got sad. So many things he wanted to share and give the world, but couldn't. Fuck cancer, it took a great guy way too young. Joe, I know you are an atheist, but I hope if there is any sort of afterlife you are at peace.

That's one epic LAMP! Thanks for the update and continuing to share your story. (The audio ways perfect btw 👍) Stay strong and I hope to hear from you again soon!

You are one incredible human. I’m sorry you ever had to go through this. & just praying you are comfortable and with those you love most ♥️

Hi Joe, Thanks again for this inspiring video. You are the best in relating your story for all of us. Give our regards to your wife Kim and thank her for the tremendous care she is providing you. So sorry that your hospital stay was horrible. Sometimes one wonders how some of these institutions are allowed to operate. Joe, you are amazing in your articulation of your cancer’s progression. I hope you could get a trial that will help you. I feel for your low spirit and totally understand why you feel this way. But regardless you still persevere. Thank you. I only hope I can be as strong as you when my cancer comes back. May the radiotherapy offer some relief and hopefully the doctors can provide some other comfortable treatments. LAMP LAMP LAMP three times for emphasize.

Hey Joe, thanks for being such an inspiration. You are truly teaching many of us so many important lessons through your videos. Honestly love you without ever needing to know you up close. It's completely fine to be tired of all this bullshit. You don't deserve any of this, and life is really unfair to great people. Know you are going to be remembered by so many as a freaking legend. You are not dying on this earth dude, not while we all remember you and apply to our life and the life of other people around us all the teachings we got from what you've been sharing. You live on, my guy!

It sounded like you were literally describing Hell when you were in that room.

Lamp✨️ So good to get an update Joe; also so sorry you had to go through that nightmare of a month 😢 it sounds scary and horrible 😭 Thank you for sharing so much of your journey with the world. I'm a physician from a caribbean country and your videos have taught me so much of the rarely seen side of the patiens experience; and they will continue to teach and help because I share them with my colleagues and so on. You are truly an exemplary human being (and an amazing patient). Sending thoughts of comfort and peace to you and your family ❤

I live just outside of St Albans so my nearest A&E is Watford General. I'm sorry you were treated so poorly and yes, it's normal for patients to be left waiting on beds in the corridors outside of A&E. 😢 I also agree with you about the wards being extremely hot. We asked to open a window when they said they couldn't manually turn down the heating. Crazy when the NHS should be saving money and not throwing it away!

That's a lovely lamp. Sending love to you and your family. I hope you remain relatively pain free. Hugs for your wife.

Hi Joe, I'm sending you big hugs. 🦋✨lamp

What a lovley person you are I wish I could do something for you ❤
