#Cancerversary #braincancer #braintumor My Cancerversary. It’s been one full year since I have been diagnosed with brain cancer a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma. Thank you everyone for your continued support.
I love that you took a negative situation and turned into something extremely positive. More specifically, you shaved all your hair off, and said "wait, I can be Dr.Eggman for my kids!" and that's one of the most badass things I've ever seen. Thank you for being exactly who you are. (Also you've helped to inspire me to take on puppet making and other fun things like that, so thank you for that as well
You're my hero, dude! I'm learning to make puppets through your videos and I bought your book and everything. You're incredibly strong and brave for going through every thing you have been through. We got your back if you need it! And thank you for everything you've done to inspire so many people! Please please please get better soon! ❤❤❤
I know Adam … he taught my child, this comment made me cry! As a teacher he is a hero & inspiration to soooo many! If anyone deserves this praise, it’s you Mr. K!!!!!
Keep up the fight Adam, you are doing great. My mom is a cancer survivor and her advice is to always have the best attitude towards it and act like you are not sick at all. I was just a child when that happened, and now at 35 I am so glad she fought like she did.
i watched your video on setting up a monitor to film my puppet a year or so ago. I had no idea you were ill. I hope you're feeling better and thanks for that advice it really helped me. Good luck with your treatment and all the best for your family in 2024.
You are doing fantastic! Your attitude, humor and just overall positive vibes is making a big difference...and not just for you. There are people out there who have been diagnosed with cancer who are scared, depressed, given up... Your video would be a very big inspiration for those who are having a rough go of it. Keep them coming!
🥺good luck man hope you feel amazing after this you helped me when I got mad making puppets you showed me it was easy and fun thanks dude for everything (;
Hi Adam. I have lung cancer and am in my 25th year of living with it. 90% of the challenge is in your head so keep positive and you’ll do great. Thanks for sharing this highly personal experience with the world. There is so much fear associated with a cancer diagnosis and it’s been my aim to try and make the whole thing less scary. I have been very lucky in that my lung cancer isn’t very aggressive but my husband passed from a very aggressive form of kidney cancer so I’ve seen that side of it too. I hope your treatment is 100% successful and you continue to be a great role model to anyone faced with this awful disease. Also thank you for sharing all your puppet building ideas. I hope to make my first Snoof next week! Take care Adam! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your store! I too have a brain tumor (grade 2 Astrocytoma IDH1 mutation) and found out by having a grand mal seizure. I love your positivity, and believe that truly helps this fight. I found out about mine in 2011 when I was 22yrs old. I’ve had 3 brain surgeries, chemo, radiation and I’m now on a new type of chemo treatment. However I’m still living life, enjoying it and raising my son ❤ I hope to hear more! And if you ever have questions or want to talk I’m here and happy to help!
Just as a seasoned teacher nurtures the talents of their students, your journey has been an invaluable source of inspiration. Through your own experiences and triumphs over brain cancer, you have become a living example of the power of puppetry and performing arts. Like a master puppeteer, you have skillfully maneuvered adversity, transcending mere entertainment and touching hearts and souls with profound messages of strength and resilience. As a fellow teacher, I have been deeply moved by your dedication to nurturing the creative potential in others. Your willingness to share your expertise, despite your challenges, is a testament to your selflessness and the profound impact you have on those fortunate enough to learn from you. Your artistry has touched my life and inspired me to become a better teacher and puppeteer. Your channel has taught me that puppetry is not just about manipulating a puppet and creating characters; it is a transformative art that can heal, educate, and bring joy to both performer and the audience. Your talent, resilience, and unwavering dedication have shaped the artist and educator I aspire to become. May your journey captivate hearts and inspire countless others, just as they have touched mine.
Ich wünsche Dir nur das Beste und alle Kraft die Du benötigst. Du hast so vielen Menschen ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert. Dafür danke ich Dir. Stay strong und viel Liebe aus Germany❤
I've been a follower of yours for 2 years, ever since you made a blue and purple fish, and I really admire your work. You are a fighter and a warrior. I am very happy with your victories in life. Congratulations and may God continue to give you strength to spread your work around the world. Congratulations
You don’t know me and I don’t know you, but I am so proud of you for handling this with so much bravery and grace. Your kids are lovely and I expect they will grow up so well with you as a role model!
Adam, I just found out about your tumor! Love your channel so much and love the joy that you give to others! This is just another challenge in a life of challenges and you got this. The way you feel right now is OK. We're here for you however you need us.
Adam I just recently found your channel and love it. I am a special needs teacher and use puppets in my class even though I have been told my students are too old for puppets. I teach middle school students who are mostly non verbal. I want you to know that your puppet videos are amazing and they will inspire future generations to love puppetry. I’m sorry about your cancer but you have been so strong and an inspiration to all of us. I will be praying for you Adam. I’m not sure if you believe in God but please draw near to God and He will draw near to you. I lost both of my parents to cancer and Jesus helped me through those rough days. The YouVersion Bible app is great. Thanks for your time. I am praying for your quick recovery so we can see more incredible puppet videos from you. Thanks
It was great seeing you at the National Puppetry Festival at University of Maryland . You're so healthy-looking now!😃 Your kids are so CUTE!😊❤ Thanks for spending time with my son! I hope you have MANY years of good health and happiness!🙂👋🏽👨🏽⚕️
To a speedy recovery. I’ve never made a puppet and not sure I ever will but your videos have inspired me and my family. We can’t wait for you to be happy and healthy again!!
I love your positive attitude. My family has dealt with my mom being sick with an autoimmune disease for 30 years. So many hospital stays, surgeries, and meds…..I KNOW how hard it is to stay positive. Keep it up! God Bless! 🎉
I found your channel just before you were diagnosed and all that because I wanted to make a very ambitious puppet. I realized part of the way in that I should work on some smaller projects first but Tizzy will live one day! Thank you for being so passionate about what you do and pushing through the tough times.
You are one of the strongest people out there by taking something like cancer as a trip in your life, because that's what it is, just life Praying for you all the time ❤
Adam, wishing you a full healthy recovery!!! I have been watching your videos for years and you have been such a personal & creative inspiration. Sending lots of positive vibes and wishing you all the best ❤️❤️
im not crying !!!! NOPE NOPE NOPE....... okay maybe a bit... I pray a fast Live long recovery..... you are one of my favorite TUBERS ... sending love and healing blessings... XXOO
You're a strong man to not only have made it a year, but to resolve yourself to fighting rather than giving up. Whenever you feel like quitting or are just down in the dumps, try remembering just how strong you actually are and that you were the one who made your survival possible.
Adam, I myself have epilepsy. I know how crappy seizures can ravage your body after having one. Cancer, on the other hand, I’ve not dealt with thankfully. I know you are, and I know that it can only go uphill from here my friend. You’re always in my thoughts.
New to your channel. Oddly enough, i had my own (but different) cancer journey. I had hair loss with the first round of chemo treatment in Feb 2022. As a female, I didn't have the confidence to go into daily living without at least a wig on. I had 99% hair loss and was scared to look at myself in the mirror. I finally said goodbye to the wigs when my daughter had her 1st birthday and now get compliments on my hair that's all grown in. Haven't trimmed it for hair growth since September 2022 and finished 5 weeks of radiation treatments by early Aug with internal overnight radiation in Sept 2022! Been NED since Dec 2022! You got this Adam! ❤
I'm so glad that you're still making life work for you and getting in a lot of great moments with your family. I wish you the best on the rest of your cancer recovery.
man, YOu will be in my thoughts and prayers Adam. I just love how your turning one big negative into a psotivie light. You are a strong man Adam. I also wanna thank you for bringing me into the world of puppetry yet again in 2019 when I found your videos. You Helped me discover the world of improv through puppetry as well as learning to make friends which was always hard for me to do through Improv. Nobody deserves cancer not even you. You can kick cancers butt. You got this Adam.
I mean God bless you man. You seem to be facing this like a titan, I don't even know how I would be. I wish you nothing but good health, a quick and easy recovery, to be cancer free, and of course see a new fleet of puppets lol much love to you.
Love your white hair! I think you're getting younger LOL. You are adorable as ever. This is some Journey you are on. Thank you for sharing it with us. You are a champion. Praying blessings on you Adam. ❤
I very recently discovered your page whilst looking for some puppet making guidance. Now the kids and I are following your progress, glad you are on the mend. Lots of hugs from London - UK
Adam thank you for sharing your Journey with us. Do what you can and enjoy yourself however you can and i hope life treats you better ❤ I'm rooting for you and so is everyone else you absolute Treasure of a Man 😘♥
I've never seen anyone with such a beautiful attitude towards life. You are a blessing to us all. I learned how to make a puppet from you and I have seen so many of your videos. You are an amazingly talented young man and you have the best demeanor. I am praying for your speedy recovery. God Bless You and your family! xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
