Fuck dude. I didnt know about the fluids from chemo making you bloated. In marching band, we were going to London and there was this clarinetist that graduated but was able to come back to go with us. She came back looking seriously big. Like not fat but something was making her swell very disproprtionally. Nobody knew why, but we knew something was up. She was so fuckin sweet man, so we hated that something wasnt right. But she went on the weeklong trip anyway and had such a great time with us all. Sometime later, after we all graduated and in college, we saw that she passed away. So she mustve either just finished chemo or was in the middle of it when we went to London back then. Damn Teresa. I wish I couldve been there for you more. I miss you.

When I was about 8 years old I spent a month in a hospital because I had rheumatism. 3 weeks long I had this one girl, same age, in my room. We both weren't really able to walk much, so we talked and played all day. We became pretty much best friends. So, after the 3 weeks i got released. Back to normality, while she was still stuck in there. I visited her a few times but life went on and we didn't talk to each other for a few years. With 13 years i started to develop chronic migraines - so i had to go back to the hospital to get a diagnosis. Actually the moment we left we met her mother smoking infront of the main entrance. She told us that she didn't actually have rheuma but blood cancer and that she was fighting for her life. I remember being sad, but i had that strong feeling that she would get better. 2 years later my father had a phone call with her mom. She told him that she died. And that totally crushed me. so i feel the pain the woman in the video feels. But at least it brought back so many beautiful memories. So thank u.

[@Turbopasta]

Hi, I also had leukemia at 24 (ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia), what a coincidence. I'm 29 now and I've mostly recovered. What she said about the throwing up seems pretty normal for that diagnosis, I first noticed when I was running at track and I got winded extremely early, then had to throw up everything into a garbage bin. I also experienced the "blowing up" thing she talked about, all my old pictures from back then I look super bloated in the face. The first time my hair grew back it came in curly so my old pics literally look like a different person. It's hard to say if chemo affected my taste buds or if it was just the constant nausea, but it was a while before I could enjoy real food again, absolutely euphoric when I was finally able to. I had some brain fog but I don't think it was as bad as her's. I actually ended up doing chemo infusions for about 3 years, and then oral chemo medications for another year after that if I remember correctly. Apparently men have to take chemo longer because there's a higher chance the leukemia stays dormant in the reproductive system. Unfortunately I didn't end up getting treated in time so I ended up suffering a stroke which took out the right side of my body for a while. My arm and face are fine now, my leg still has problems but I can get around fine now. I also suffered from 8 seizures before my neurologist finally stopped upping my dose of an anti-epilepsy pill that didn't work for me and tried something else. My seizures are pretty well controlled on Keppra now. Ironically, I got somewhat lucky as an American since I ended up getting coverage from Obamacare and basically paid nothing throughout everything, aside from some extremely small fees here and there. I also had medi-cal which covered the "other expenses" that I think she talks about in the video. I ended up going through physical rehab, but I also gained a lot of function back just from playing video games. Rhythm Heaven Fever was the first one I requested since I knew it had simple controls, then I slowly advanced through my library of other games until I could beat my friends who came into the rehab hospital to visit me in Smash Bros. Don't say being a tryhard never pays off lmao. I'm doing more or less okay now. Leukemia definitely screwed up my life in a lot of ways but I mostly got through it. I actually have to get a hip replacement now because of side effects from the prednisone I had to take, so if you're doing prednisone be sure to ask for regular MRI scans of your hips and knees if you feel any discomfort. I'll be answering any questions you guys might have for me in the comments if you made it this far, so feel free to ask whatever's on your mind. I just wanted to make a nice comment on this video since this story resonated with me and I think it resonates with lots of other people as well.

I'm half way through this and want to cry. Why don't we have a system that takes care of others? Health care is a necessity, and we allow our most vulnerable to be taken advantage of while others live in luxury. Healthcare is not a luxury

[@dividale2821]

10:00 listening to this I'm really glad to live in Canada where we have universal healthcare.

[@sandboxhd6426]

Yeah except you get the health care 3 mouths after your dead

[@ethansoxtra]

Oh how I have missed syrmors content

[@Ojthemighty]

It makes me so angry that people who are responsible and pay their health insurance still are financially broken through no fault of their own. The whole health system is corrupt and broken

[@homelessmeme1075]

I agree :( if only we had a universal healthcare system m....

[@Ojthemighty]

@@homelessmeme1075 im not sure what that is. I know in england we have the nhs which we all pay for through our tax and national insurance but its so corrupt that people with cancer are not being seen too and valuable resources are wasted. In my mind private health care, if you pay your insurance you should be treated. This "your not covered by your insurance" bullshit is immoral. Healthcare isnt free but its been turned into a money making buissness and the lives of people come second to their profit margin.

7:36 oh the irony of me having to rewind back on that because every word past this quote lost meaning for a while

[@benlambe3168]

Think the blood doctor word she was looking for was phlebotomist

[@mazdaspeedpower]

That was one of the hardest parts for me I think, I survived 3 bouts with AML Leukemia. . .the friends I met and got to know. . .so many lost their battle. The relapses. The bad news. 8 years old when I first got sick. Grew up fast. 2 bone marrow transplants and a stem cell transplant later, 20+ years later still kicking. Im sorry about your friend. Stay strong and stay as healthy as you can✊

Dude! Something is very wrong! This video should have over 100,000 views by now. Did KZbin demonetize you? Because I swear I subscribed and set the bell on for all notifications, and I still didn’t hear about your new video!

[@theblackbaron4119]

"Feeling kinda bad for having Insurance" The US is so weird. You guys really should take most of Europe as an example and get universal healthcare, but there seem to be enough uneducated people rejecting that idea for personal and selfish reasons. A human life's worth shouldn't be limited by a horrendous hospital bill. I gladly pay my social insurance, knowing it catches people when they fall. When they don't have the funds to afford to be healthy again.

[@dylanwentzel1012]

My brother(19) got diagnosed with A.l.l yesterday, and starts chemo for a month tomorrow. Your video and Ronald gave me some hope but also scared me. I'm going to be there for him. What can we do to make their lives more entertaining while they're at hospital for those long periods

[@bulox9619]

How is it going for him after 4 months ? hope he's alright

[@GreenMachineOG]

"Insurance only covers up to a certain percentage at a certain point" 10:25 I thought it was the other way around? It was explained to me that your out-of-pocket costs only go so high until insurance covers everything else? My $55,000 surgery was lowered down to my out-of-pocket cost of less than 8000. Which is still ridiculous IMO but way better than 55k. I hope she's able to find a way to pay everything off :(

[@Altaranalt]

"I'll be paying the bill of for the rest of my life." 5 minutes later: "I have insurance." Oh my god, living in America is terrifying.

When she was talking about her memory issues and said "My life is gone" that fucked me up way harder than I expected. I have epilepsy and ADHD, and along with my meds, my long term memory is absolute shit. Particularly when it comes to recalling specific memories or people. I've probably forgotten 95% of them; the closest I can get is sorta recalling how I felt around those times sometimes. It doesn't sound that bad, but not being able to look back on nearly anything in your life gets incredibly depressing when someone tries to make conversation about some important stretch of time in your life and all you can say is "I don't remember any of that."

[@kethran6730]

My younger sister was diagnosed with cervical cancer shortly after she had her first child. On and off of Chemo several times, in and out of the hospital. Mostly in. She was declared cancerfree and in full remission two times. It came back every time. She died the 17th of March last year. About two years after her first diagnosis. She was 30. Far too young. This video reminded me of everything she went through. Though I doubt I'll ever forget it. Thank you for these videos. For letting people tell their stories. It's important.

Bald girls are beautiful, dont sweat it. Im sure you're beautiful.

[@waifu1275]

During COVID my step-grandma and my aunt both got cancer at the same time. It was a painful time for our whole family and things didn’t sit right. Luckily they both are okay this day by the grace of God. But it’s just so heartbreaking to hear this story. I wanna know how she’s doing if anyone can give updates.

[@ethereal-dewd8409]

Holy shit, as a cancer myself, I never fully realized I do the same shit with 'Before Sick' and 'After Sick'; that was a bit of an abrupt reality check.

[@Jasperr2016]

14:58 it’s really weird to me how blacking out for any reason gives a really subtle terrible, uncomfortable feeling. like our bodies say something must be deeply wrong if we can’t make memories and process them later.

[@alainpbat3903]

I can't dude. Your videos hurt me so much. Good art hurt people in ways they wouldn't be able to cope in real life. And this hurts a lot

[@alainpbat3903]

And the worst part is, this isn't fiction

[@DaddyDevit]

My father and aunt have been dealing with leukaemia this last year. I can’t fathom paying for healthcare, they would be gone if not for the UK healthcare system. Like we would not afford it. It’s monstrous putting a price tag on your survival.

[@thegreatqtip4516]

Oh god, talking about how you get all chubby in the hospital from all the liquid they pump in you is bringing back memories. The first time I ever went to the hospital for more than one or two days, I distinctly remember the horror I felt looking up in the mirror and realizing just how round my face was. Looking back it was hilarious, but then I was so embarrassed.

[@spacemansquid]

Something about Syrmor's particular style makes me wish I could be a part of and share my own stories with his audience, too. Alas, it would just be ramblings of a jumbled mess of memories.
