The Truth about My Cancer 

Me too

It was such a bummer to find out my skull isn’t made for buzzed hair. Thats why god gave me luscious hair so I wouldn’t be tempted to in the first place. Ive learned my lesson. Thanks friend. Onward!

I appreciate that thank you

Thank you so much.

Appreciate you.

I’m trying! It’s just a dramatic difference in a very short amount of time so I’m super self conscious.

Yes I read an article by a lady who scammed 100,000 from people on you tube and go fund me .She said saying you have cancer makes people want to give you things She even bought a used oxygen tank on eBay so people would think she was on O2 .She got 8 years in prison

Dude same. I feel like I’m back in high school.

@@ThePhotoDept Not the fondest memories to relive! Hope it normalises quickly.

Luckily already have protonix and clindamycin.

Gross and true

Oh wow, small world

@@ThePhotoDept - I'm curious. When you had just the lake behind you, were you around the South Shore area or more by Bradford Beach. It looked more like South Shore.

I thought my migraines were just migraines. Turns out they were brain tumors! I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with that, unless you have migraines you can’t truly understand what it’s like.

@@ThePhotoDeptI can’t pretend to imagine what it must be like to have pain from brain tumors. Migraines are debilitating on their own. Especially, when they can go on for days. I’ve had close loved ones go through cancer. As a caregiver to people who’ve had cancer, I can empathize with what you must be going through. I hope all goes well for you. Fight on!

What do you think this video is

I tried to be really clear about it, basically going forward, I want to keep more personal stuff off of RU-vid and focus more on photography. If you’re really invested in the cancer journey and want to see the more personal stuff, it isn’t unreasonable to put it behind a modest paywall. In the first hand it deters the conspiracy theory loving, hateful, online trolls from engaging. Check my cancer announcement video to see what I mean. On the other hand, if you really want a peek into my personal life that bad, $4 isn’t going to bankrupt you. It seems fair to me. Hope you have a good weekend.

​@@ThePhotoDept I am speaking from a perspective of someone who is not into details of insurance/medical payments topics of your country. It's only natural for me to keep such info truly personal and not share it with anyone, but as I said before, I can't fully comprehend the concept of not having everything treatment-wise free (speaking more emotionally than intellectually) because I'm from Europe. That said, I'm also a medical professional, so I say it's understandable and I really wish you the very best. I will also follow your journey, but within the scope of your own choice on YT.

​@@EmericaTheTourfollow (retired NY Giants NFL and Good Morning America Host) Michael Strahan's daughter Isabella Strahan on YT,she was diagnosed with stage 4 brain tumor last October and is documenting (with Duke University) her chemo and radiation treatment. Some videos go into depth with her treatment, tubes being removed,two brain surgeries to relieve pressure (high fevers).

What an insane thing to say without any proof. I would watch out for that karma thing if I were you. Can’t be good for karma telling cancer patients you think they are scammers. Have the day you deserve.

@@ThePhotoDept My instincts are usually right.

@silviebreber1523 well I hope you can cope with the times they aren’t. Like right now. It takes a lot of balls to tell a stranger anonymously you think they are a scammer when they are fighting stage 4 lung cancer.

Even if you think this, it's a crazy thing to say. Even if you're convinced that's the case. An 'instinct' isn't worth even the smallest possibility of accusing someone who is already suffering so much physically and emotionally of scamming. Instead of going around accusing people with cancer of being scammers, maybe you should advocate for free healthcare in America which would solve the 'scammers' problem, as people wouldn't need to fundraise to get medical help!

@tombrown2468 very well said.

Yes we do

@@ThePhotoDept how

Because of the video where I announce I have cancer. And the video where I show myself going to get gamma knife radiation on my brain tumors. I show nurses and doctors preparing a face mask for me to be put into the gamma knife machine. I talk about my medications and the specific type of cancer I have. What more do you want? You want to see my personal and confidential medical charts? You wanna come to my chemo infusions with me and taste the chemo drugs to verify that it is in fact chemo and not Dr Pepper or root beer? Do you want my doctor to give you a call and verify that my diagnosis is real? Do you want me to upload a video highlighting all of my symptoms and side effects, and show you my suffering in real time? Or, here’s an idea: you can be a real human with empathy and a good heart and you can believe someone when they tell you that they are suffering from stage 4 lung cancer instead of being a cynical sheep following all of the conspiracy theorists. Have the day you deserve.

@@ThePhotoDept No I'm familiar with everything regarding lung cancer metastatic to the brain stage 4 be ause I have it.Did you have a biopsy done ? The last I watched you had no biopsy because a machine was broken ? Thanks! No need to be nasty simply trying to understand your diagnosis

Not being nasty. If you look at the videos you’ll see I’ve received a fair amount of hate and conspiracy theorists trying to tear me down. It’s been difficult. Yes, I got a biopsy when I established care at a new provider. It was determined to be EGFR Positive NSCLC. I am taking Tagrisso, or Osimertinib, to treat the lung cancer. I am also doing chemo, Carboplatin and Pemetrexed. I am on my third round on the 8th of this month.

God gave him eyes when he was born. Thank you very much
