Remission!!! Yessss!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m stage 4 terminal, so likely won’t ever hear those words but still fighting for as much time as I can get. Whenever I hear of someone in remission it makes me SOOOOO extremely happy! Best news of the day for sure.

[@lanceward540]

Good luck and I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get all the time you need and make the most of it. Your positive attitude is admirable 🙏

I have terminal cancer too. I was given 1-3 years to live with no hope of ever changing it. 8 years and two bone marrow transplants later I’m still here. 2022 was a bad year for relapsing. I was completely paralyzed from the neck down from a large tumor growing in my spine which was pressing up against my spinal cord. It literally cracked my back bone in half. I felt it at work.. 98% chance I would never walk again . Three days later I took two steps. My cancer mutated from blood to tumors. Yes tumors plural. Spine and ribs. Funny thing is that I was told I was cancer free literally 10 days before my surgery. 6 screws and two rods in my back. T1-3 permanently fused together. I fight for every day I have.

Best of luck and stay strong, they make advances every day, let's hope a treatment is close

Having had to go in for a couple of cancer biopsies I remember how scared I was, it must be a million times worse to get that positive result. I'm glad you're in remission, you're one of the go-to people for folks starting out in repair and I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy your uploads.

As a fellow lymphoma survivor who has learned a lot from your video's over the years I just gotta say the start of this video brought me tears of joy and overwhelming happiness!!! YOU FREAKING DID IT MAN LETS GO!!!

[@mperry0913]

My wife was diagnosed with CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia) in 2006. She's been taking meds ever since, and the meds just wipe her energy. She recently, within the last year or so, was told that her counts are almost at 0. It'll never be 100% gone as it's a bone marrow cancer, but the doc told her she's in remission! I'm very happy to hear you are in remission as well. When I finished college for electronics technology, one of the things that happened, was that motherboards became cheaper to replace than getting someone to replace a resistor, diode, etc.. Kinda felt like I went to college for nothing at the time. Fast forward 25 years or so and I found your channel. It was so awesome to see someone doing component level work, and I've stuck around since. So thank you Steve for what you do, and the content you make, so an old guy like me can enjoy the craziness of component replacement. lol. Thanks again, and congrats for being in remission!!

[@ShoresyEsquire]

My grandfather lost his battle with cancer right around the time that you told us about your fight with it, so I was particularly concerned about your health for a while. I might not have been able to leave you a message previously, I’m SO glad to hear that you are in remission. I hope for your continued longevity and good health.

Bro I really have to say this, didn't watch your channel for awhile(maybe the algorithm pulled a trick), when I saw you were through chemo it backstabbed me, you're such a wholesome guy and your channel is awesome, I've learned so much just by seeing your repairs, seeing you slowly recovering made me really happy

[@kylechanove2060]

Omg this is so great to hear! I been bummed out that alot of my favorite KZbinrs have left this earth and man tbh Im not the religious type but I been praying you made it through. You and your channel have got me through some sad times and just watching you fix gaming things makes my day! I hope you see this comment one day and see that you may not really notice but you honestly impact some of our lives out here. Please keep making videos and no matter what I'll keep watching!!

[@sscultima]

just started watching your videos recently, and have been enjoying them thoroughly. Even got my interest to start doing solder work again after so many years.

Hey Steve, I just wanted to swing past and say congratulations on your remission. I'm sure the past year has changed you in many ways, even more so than the physical aspects. I hope you are enjoying every day and spending time with the ones you love. I sadly lost my mum to cancer 3 weeks ago, she had undiagnosed Metastatic Adenocarcinoma, so it was a shock to us all when she passed. I'm happy to hear that you have beaten it and can return your life to some what normal. Keep on trucking man and hold your family close. Cheers for keeping up with the videos too, I've learnt so much from you, Thank you!

[@Papabears_2nd_rate_art]

Can't tell you how happy I am to hear about your health. I think after watching people's videos or listening to their music, or whatever, you kind of get to know that person. I'm having some health issues myself. To the point that I lost the drive to work on my projects. I still enjoyed watching videos on the subject, though. When I started binging your videos, I saw what you were going through and really was concerned. The other thing I saw, though, was you were still working. Still fixing things. Your positive attitude was contagious. I started working on my gameboys again and made the connection between my recovery and the resurrection of these old systems. Two months later, my health is improving, but more importantly, my attitude is recovering too. Some people hide when they're hurt, you just kept on pushing through it.Your videos and your positive outlook are very helpful. I really appreciate both, and I'm looking forward to more of the same in the future! Cheers!
