I HAVE AN EXTREMELY RARE STAGE 3 CANCER... Why I'm Scared | Appendiceal Goblet Cell Adenocarcenoma

[@bignoknow]

Happy New Year everyone. Wishing you all the contentment in the world in 2025. It's going to be a big year of growth, faith, and discipline for my family and I as we embark on this cancer journey in hopes of one day being able to be in remission. I will continue to document my journey as it's been invaluable for my mental health to have a creative outlet right now. I can't thank you all enough for your prayers, testimonies, information, well wishes, and donations to my GoFund campaign: gofund.me/c3e2410b I draw strength, wisdom, and courage from all of you each and every day. First doctors appointment is tomorrow and will film the entire thing to share. Till tomorrow's vid. - Noah

[@adeanamaynard]

Be careful. You are gonna wear yourself down. You are already prone to anxiety. Overthinking things will compound the anxiety and adrenal fatigue. Please take some time for meditation outside thoughts of "beating" this and the "what ifs". You must find headspace to rest. I was a caregiver to a dual diagnosis cancer patient (blood and tumor cancers) for 10 years. The best thing sometimes is to back up and let ones you trust (Dad) worry for you. My heart is with you as you navigate your new normal. You have a marathon ahead of you. It's like a cross country trip vs a trip across town. Sit down, take a deep breath and ground yourself. Praying for your peace.

[@audalice1]

Hi Noah - You think so carefully about everything. That’s a good thing but I think you need to concentrate on lowering your level of stress. I wrote before that I had stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. I’ve had a lifetime of treatment for anxiety and panic disorder but somehow the cancer didn’t throw me. I didn’t even ask about the stage. My oncologist insisted I look at the report that said ‘no metastasis.’ I went through a year of chemo, surgery and radiation. I have been absolutely fine ever since. I really believe you will be too. 💌

[@audalice1]

Noah, consider seeing if a doctor at the Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital in Toronto is familiar with your particular kind of cancer. I think I know two people who had the same thing. Possibly there’s a specialist at another Toronto. Princess Margaret is considered one of the best cancer hospitals in the world.

[@KellyEsposito-bj3oq]

I was a patient of Md Anderson Hospital in Houston TX and had met a person who had your exact cancer of the appendix, which is rare like you had mentioned. He told us his story how he beat this cancer. The doctor did a cancer bath. It’s where they opened him up and put chemo in his intestines and then closed up the incision. Thereafter they operated again and scrubbed each organ in the intestines. At the time it was the cutting edge to treat this type of cancer. MDAnderson is the place if you’re looking for cutting edge treatments. I’m sorry you are having to go through all this. The majority of the battle is in the mind, fear is crippling, but please know that perfect love of Jesus casts our all fear. I will add you and your family to my prayer list.

[@bignoknow]

Thank you for sharing. Taking screen shots of everything and passing it along

[@sharenbrewer9611]

Noah, MD Anderson in Houston knows all about your cancer. My friend just went through the Hipec procedure for the same appendix cancer and he is all good ! You’ve got treatment waiting for you !

[@felixcat9455]

Yes I saw this too. Heated chemotherapy injected into peritoneal cavity.

[@alexisjaquay6052]

Please look into this, Noah! I spoke about it on another video of yours. It can be a tough treatment, but it's been helping so many people with rare cancers.

[@KS-fe1dp]

Yes! I mentioned MD Anderson in a previous video. There absolutely are experts of rare conditions, including appendiceal cancer.

[@micheleboris2851]

My friend had hipec also and is well now. They also had ' the mother of all surgeries' to take away chance of a spread. Their surgery and treatment was done at Roswell Park Cancer center in Buffalo NY.

[@shernandez2276]

My sister had it five years ago. It gave her another five years however the cancer came back twice. On two chemo treatments and is fighting hard!!

There is a man in Perth, Australia with a rare appendiceal cancer, his KZbin is Paul in Perth. I don't know if there are several types but he has and is sharing his journey and has had a lot of treatment and is doing well at this point. Just wanted to share if you haven't heard of his journey.

[@elizabethmoddison8764]

Came here to say this!!! 'Paul in Perth' has PMP (can be appendiceal cancer or colon cancer depending on where it originated). It is a rare cancer as well. He was treated with surgery to remove cancerous tissues as well as HIPEC therapy. Noah, wishing you all the best on your cancer journey.

[@sharenbrewer9611]

Yes I follow him too , amazed at his healing

[@rosemarykriegel3226]

Take from this what you will. Back in 1955 at OHSU my grandmother, 54 years old, had cancer. I know her surgery lasted 8 hours back then and she ended up with a "bladder bag" as mom referred to it. My grandmother wasn't expected to see me born that December. She not only saw me born, but lived to be 90, another 36 years. When I asked her why she thought she lived so long she told me, "I decided to eat very well." During her long life, 1901-1991, she never drove one day; she walked everywhere. She also had a hobby that kept her creativity active and looking forward to the future as she was inspired to create. Last, but not least, remember Lorenzo's Oil. It was his parents that discovered what he needed for life. There's something special about a parent's love for their children. I'm happy you have your father by your side. God bless you, mind and body, and those helping you on this journey of discovery.

[@lindc1070]

Paul is doing well now despite thinking the end was near not that long ago. He was even talking about death with dignity but had a turnaround

[@southerngal345]

I do understand the fear and panic of being diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer. It is the most fearful and lonely experience of my life. When my oncologist told me that I shouldn’t have this type of breast cancer for many reasons including I didn’t fit the profile or lifestyle of someone with this type of bc. I didn’t even know there were different types of bc. After he said rare, aggressive, low survival rate - I completely fell to the floor. There are no words for the gut wrenching fear and pain I felt. Here I sit 15 years & 2 grandchildren later. You are doing the right thing, educate yourself, combine traditional & holistic methods. Love and family will be your best medicine.

[@bignoknow]

Oh my word. Bless your soul. Thank you for sharing this. The courage you had to sustain. I’d love to hear more about your story.

[@southerngal345]

​@bignoknow At first All I could focus on was 3 words : rare, aggressive, low survival. I spent hours, literally, going from despair, why me? and denial. I remember scouring the inet, slamming my laptop shut and curling up in a ball. I think the big turn around for me is when I finally met with the oncologist and we came up with a plan to work. Like your dad said on the video, you're both driven hard workers, so am I. Don't ever settle for a medical team member who doesn't share your drive. Kick anyone not all in with your healing beliefs to the curb & move on to another. I fired 2 doctors who poo-poo'd my inclusion of holistic practices. I included holistic along with medical intervention. I went to support groups. You will find your path, it's amazing how Spirit will place the right people & practices in your path. I started having talks with my cancer and let it know through visualization that it's not welcome in my body. I literally starved it, I believed it. I sought out a Chinese medicine healer. Followed his advice. I used accupuncture, massage, Reiki, meditation. Find your path and people. Even now, my onco dr tells me every year..."I'm so happy - you're a miracle to last 5 yrs (let alone 15) w/o a recurrence". Keep showing up for life!

[@ChristineCollins-b4f]

I love your dad! He was my now 20 year old son's pediatrician. While we never had to deal with anything like your cancer, during all of our visits he was always so comforting and knowledgeable with his recommendations and approaches. I love his non-conventional approaches. He believes and appreciates in how he was cared for while he was still in my belly up to when he was 17. My now adult sons approach his medical care the same way He was cared for by Dr. Paul! He is a great person to have on your team!

[@rosemarykriegel3226]

Dr. Paul cared for my grandchildren until covid shut him down. He's a fantastic advocate for his patients and even more so for his son.

My granny was diagnosed with rare high grade breast cancer with inflammatory breast cancer. She was in her 80s in 2018. We were told she had 6 months. I was devastated. We had just adopted our daughter who was 2 and I wanted her to grow up knowing her great granny and have memories like me. God is the only one who answered my prayers. She is now 89 with no evidence on disease on last scan. She will never be cancer free but… here we are 7 years later when doctors said she had 6 months. The power of prayer and finding the right targeted therapy for her. Wishing you all the best!!

[@staceynewcome6883]

Noah, this is your purpose. If anybody can find the best doctors, counselors, and spiritual leaders for this type of rare cancer, IT IS YOU TWO. You were chosen to help many others figure this out. God only sends his toughest soldiers in to fight. He knew how much you and your dad would spend finding ever ounce of information on this cancer AND he knew you BOTH have the platforms to help people all over the world. This was put into play years ago. Your KZbin success, yours dad's, his struggles with the medical field, your struggle with dependence. He fixed is all so you could win this battle and helpothers. You, my dear, are an angel on earth. God loves you and God bless you.

[@staceynewcome6883]

P.S. I suffered with a TWO YEAR battle of reoccurring c diff immediately after the birth of my first andonly child. I was so sick, they left me on vancomycin for 1 year straight. My case was taken to a medical convention. Eventually a new drug came out specifically for c diff. It worker however the damage was done mentally. I was told multiple times I could die. It left me with severe anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and depression. I wanted 3 kids but I was so scared to get pregnant and have some type of common infection that would make my c diff relapse. I cannot go into a hospital because know that is where c diff thrives. It's been 15 years and I still have a panic attack then flashback if I think i am going to have diarrhea (bloody and multiple times a day - it's the tell ta,e sign). Ihave educated as many as possible about the problem with overusing antibiotics. My son just turned 15. He has never known the "real" me - theme before c diff. I still fight the mental battles. You will too but are much more prepared.

Dad is such a supportive and helpful doctor in your corner. I’m married to a dear retired physician. He’s now struggling with dementia at age 92. He’s prone to major depression that requires long hospitalization involving ECT. It’s kept him well until the last few years we collectively decided no more depression treatment for him anymore. He’s depressed and all I can do is care for him with love and encouragement. Just as your dad is doing that same support. Again I admire your raw vulnerability in being transparent about your feelings. Praying for you - God’s got you.

I was diagnosed with a rare form of stage 3 colorectal cancer in March of 2024. I had an MSI-H adenocarcinoma, which my doctor said only occurs in about 2 to 3% of colon cancer. This actually improved my odds of survival to almost 100% because this subtype responds very well to immunotherapy. I started treatment with immunotherapy (Dorstarlimab) alone in April, was declared cancer free 6 months later! Because it's rare isn't always a bad thing. It may mean you have even MORE, and more effective treatment options. It could be rare in a good way.😊😊😊😊😊

Hers wasn’t caught in time at all. It was already past stage four but she put on a fight. What was important to her was though she loved around her and she made sure she enjoyed every minute with her. She loved with a smile on her face make up on and her hair done even with her going through so much so brightly I don’t know how she did it previous beautiful soul ever.

Cancer runs very high on both sides of my family, female cancer and colon cancer. And pre-cancerous cells that’s why at some point to get tested on a regular basis, including on a cellular level. I have gone through a rare disease that almost took me out that blocked my do a demon an metric artery I had to have life-saving surgery but just before I went into surgery I had major mild pancreatitis thank goodness that lifted so I can have the surgery. I’m so grateful to the surgeon saved my life, but still was a suspicious underline how this came about to begin with wasn’t until later on I was diagnosed with autoimmune diseases overlapping with complexities and autoimmune also runs in my family tree as well mainly MS I personally been diagnosed with lupus SLE, destonia, sjogren's Syndrome type of developing vascular reflux disease that was passed down from my grandfather, which has been a mighty top of everything I’m fighting. Faith is very strong battle against anything I had so many close calls when it comes to almost passing the one thing to everything is faith, family, and positivity pushing bored and staying strong! 💪🏾 Everything has gotten so advanced nowadays, as in how they approach certain things that are going on that are rare but the same time sometimes the basic approach sometimes is the best all depends on the situation personal preference, spiritual preference overall is a personal battle that no one goes through, but you be your own agitative fight battling anything stay strong and considering you’re very healthy overall benefits your fight!

Noah, your story is bringing me some peace and bringing back memories of when my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer back in 2000. Everything was so uncertain. He lived 12 years beyond that diagnosis and he went to Karmanos Cancer Research Center in Detroit. Your story is reminding me of the journey my family went through over the years. I also have mental health problems I have recovered from. My brother (now deceased) was dealing with alcoholism which got worse when my dad got sick. All that stuff devastated our family, but we still bonded together and rode the roller coaster together.

[@peggyesquibel8353]

Hi Noah. As I was watching and listening to this video, it brought back lots of memories of my cancer journey. I cannot say I understand what you are going through because our cancers are not even close to being the same, but I do remember feeling many of the emotions you are experiencing. The fear was overwhelming at the start of my journey and my mind took me in every direction imaginable! I did not want to die! I cried often, was very angry at times and felt sorry for myself. I felt even worse for my husband and son. One day, as we were leaving my son’s soccer game, he said to me, “Mom you know this cancer thing”? I said “yes”. He said, “you don’t seem sick”. That innocent comment made me realize that a lot of my feelings stemmed from the fact that I felt fine, so how could I possibly have cancer? I don’t know where your journey is going to take you, but I do believe in the power of positive thinking, meditation, prayer, rest, getting out in nature and surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people. You sharing your cancer story/journey is not only going to help you, but also help so many other people who are going through the same or similar situation as you. Thank you for sharing your insights as you make your way through your cancer journey! You’ve got this Noah! Take care!

One of the disciplines that may help calm the noise in your head is called morning pages. It comes from the book The Artist's Way. The idea is you just write 3 full pages of whatever you are thinking first thing in the morning. What happens is it gives an opportunity to let all the thoughts out instead of just swirling around. It can make the rest of the day calmer. There is something about doing it first thing in the morning that makes a huge difference. There are KZbin videos. Praying for you.

[@AppalachianAnnies]

Hey Noah, I have been touched by your channel and wanted to say hello. I have a lot of experience with Cancer, I had a brother who was diagnosed with leukemia 57 years ago and I lost him. I watched 6 family members deal with Cancer. The stories of their illness was so different from one another. The amazing differences between them all. I see your fear and it’s okay to feel that way. Noah , you will go through many changes in how your feeling, talking and sharing your emotions is important to you and your loved ones. Cancer is not always a death sentence, I have seen things that completely refuted statistics. I think you need a distraction a couple hours daily, sure it’s hard to do but it’s important to your mental health as well as your physical health. I believe that no matter what happens, you will be okay. . I’m going to pray for you and your peace of mind. I was just told I have a small mass in my left breast but I’m going to be okay however this goes. I have a strong faith and I know God is with me and that the Lord Jesus Christ will never leave me alone in this life. Get your Bible out and find a verse that touches you in your soul. Jesus Christ says that you can do all things through Christ who STRENGTHENS you !!! When God wants you home or healed He has a plan for you and He is in control. It’s that simple honestly and who are we to question Him. I promise if you give this to the Lord and ask Him to be with you He is faithful. There’s many decisions that you must make regarding treatment. Can I just say, do not let this steal your peace and joy. It is possible for you to still have some joy in your life. I hope that I haven’t offended you, that’s the last thing I would want for you. Hugs and love from my heart 💜 Hang in there

I love seeing your Dad by your side. How fortunate for you. He is so tender with you and it’s beautiful to see. You all are so articulate with your emotions and your analysis of the situation.

[@momkrk49]

Prayers for you and your family.

[@ForTheSakeOfTheSongs]

Happy new year! I want to see no stigma at all on anybody with addiction, depression or cancer !

[@tammyruth8531]

OMG Noah I am so saddened and shocked to discover you are sick with cancer!!! I haven't been exploring KZbin much in recent months and so that's why I didn't see it until now. Please know that I am praying for you and for your family as you go through this terrible trial in your life. You are such a special person, I have seen you go through many very difficult things and I know that you are a strong individual and that you serve as a shining example to others on how to be courageous in the middle of crisis. May the love of God comfort and strengthen you as you walk through these times...be blessed!!!

There's a woman who was diagnosed with appendiceal cancer who shares her story on "the patient story'. She had a chemo bath done as her treatment after tumor removal. I think it was done at memorial sloan kettering.

[@danielbobberson9849]

MSK is another place that sees these rare tumors more often than you imagine.

[@Cat-qn1yw]

I had it, it’s a mucin cancer starting in the appendix. No tumor.

[@j3d354]

I was going to suggest MSK in New York also. They are the experts in rare cancers. 🕊️

[@TexasAries4]

Gosh dang, I would love to have someone like your dad in my life.

[@MichaelDuby-d7u]

You have a perfect right to be scared. Cancer is scary it’s the unknown that we find hard to navigate. But you have a great support system and faith. Plus all of us pulling for you. With your medical team and following the advice they give you , you’ll be great. I am praying for you and I’m here to listen if needed. You’re stronger than you think. You are just going through probably one of the most difficult times in your life facing this but you are loved and in great hands

[@rachemlil]

Praying Noah! I am in hospital with heart issues right now. I am praying for all With needing better health. I miss Oregon more than you know. I miss my family and friends. I am praying for you so much!! You are a blessing

[@MsArizonaGrown]

I know you're getting overwhelming amounts of advice.. and I have no experience with cancer but I do have a lifetime of experience with panic and anxiety disorder. I strongly recommend that you spend time outside... I don't know what it is about the outdoors but it really calms my anxiety. I struggle very much with existential dread even though I don't have any type of scary diagnosis to back constant fear of my life ending but the more time I spend outside the less fear I have. It's like magic

[@jimsmith1549]

Noah, wow! There was a lot in this video. I'm so glad you have your wonderful, smart, caring Dad in your corner. I don't think it's a coincidence that he's a retired M.D. It's good that you went out to the meeting --- even if only to get out of the house and away from your laptop for a while. But I know it helped you on deeper levels. My sense is that the more we SEEM to run up against seemingly impenetrable walls, the closer we get to a Higher Power and to a STRONGER Faith. [like that wonderful woman you talked with on the phone whose husband had died.] Stay strong, brother!

[@stephendvorak060075]

Prayers to you! You are helping so many people by these videos!

[@KikiBear_01]

Hi Noah, I really understand all your feelings and the emotional roller coaster that you’re on. Anticipate feeling reassured and encouraged with treatment options. You’ll definitely feel more in control with time and a plan of action, your mind will calm, and you’ll be so aware and amazed with the blessings and silver linings your journey will gift you. No one wants to be de-railed like this, and believe that your beautiful life will be more beautiful and you’re just adjusting and the purpose you’re serving now has levelled up. We’re proud of everything you represent. Thank you for sharing and teaching and inspiring us and being the peer support for others while you’re finding your own answers. 💚

[@deeleavitt6121]

I had a right hemi-colectomy 30 years ago because of a carcinoid tumor. It was many years of running to the restroom. For at least a couple years I had to invest in Tux because I was going to the restroom over 10 times a day! They cut me open vertically and it was very painful to cough! I wish you the best and pray you will do well !

[@erical7051]

Hi Noah! I can understand how overwhelmed you are feeling with all of the options and decisions that need to be made along this journey. I just wanted to encourage you to ask God for his will in all of this. Pray for discernment, wisdom, and for him to lead you to the right specialists to handle your situation. He loves you so much and he will be right there holding your hand through all of this. He has got you, none of this is a surprise to him and he will guide you. Take comfort in that! You’re doing great!!

[@TJones0868]

This totally breaks my heart my thoughts and lots of prayers are with you!!

[@maryyung1994]

I'd definitely get myself into MD Anderson in Houston or the Mayo clinic. The oncology department at MD is extremely top tier and I'm sure they have someone with knowledge on how to treat your particular cancer. I understand it is very rare but also tends to be aggressive. You need somebody that can be 2 steps ahead of this kind of cancer. I'm glad you have your dad to help you out with all you'll be facing in the near future.

[@shell2136]

Noah you are processing a shock and trying understand your new normal. One day at a time!❣️🇨🇦

[@kyledesu]

Definitely keep sharing your Journey it helps all of us.. Keep going strong Brother I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.. God has a plan for all of us !!

[@underthesunbabies]

Yay 😃 I am soo happy that you found a support group in your area and you did it too throw zoom , I knew that you will find a colon cancer support group, I am praying for wisdom for you in this journey, just k know your never alone in this journey, our cancer changes life’s , it will never be the same again ,mine changed me and I learn alot by attending my support groups, I attend throw zoom ,because my cancer center community does not have a group for gynecologists oncologist,so I found it throw resources and research and by good friends from my church that are social workers. I have a feeling that yours is a rare cancer, and ones your done with what ever treatments your oncologist and your cancer team help you decide ,i believe by faith, that you will be in remission like me ,sharing your story does helps many people from all over the world and in all 50 states, you got this . I will continue to pray for you Noah ,am glad that your dad (Dr Paul ) is guiding you and counting you .its the best thing to have is support, it’s a blessing, keep up the good work,Happy New Year,and can’t wait to hear more and your progress .hugs and be blessed

[@jfraser9011]

We are all headed in the same direction friend❤it’s so hard to be told that your time may come sooner than you expected. My brother was diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer called MPNST 6 years ago. He tried what the drs recommended but it was just too late and the treatment didn’t do anything to help. It was literally a nightmare situation, where he was basically told to get his affairs in order. He came to peace with that eventually and did amazing things with the time he had left and displayed bravery that will be remembered by our family forever. The point of this comment is not to make you worry more but to help you realize people do walk this journey every day around the world and though you may be given an absolutely shit hand you are in control of how you proceed and react. Wishing you so much peace and luck in finding a way to beat this❤

[@tonyachapman9255]

Noah you will beat this,I guarantee you you'll beat this stay strong in your mind soul and spirit and of course your body,we're with you man❤❤❤❤❤

[@EarthsGeomancer]

Guarantee, huh? 😂🤡

[@ronnimesser]

I have had cancer twice, two different kinds, both kind of rare at the age of diagnosis, but I am a year past the second diagnosis. I go for my next set of scans next month. I agree it is a roller coaster, a journey. A scary one at that! BUT….You have some amazing support and resources. You Got This Noah!!!

[@mistyneal3747]

I love your dad Noah! Even though I am stage 4 Breast cancer with Mets to my bones, I feel like I do have it easier than you do. Do get genetic testing. I did , found out I am BRCA2 positive, which meant my kids needed tested. My daughters tested positive as well, so for me that they know because of me, and they decided to proactive. Meaning my cancer may save their lives makes it totally worth it for me. I think that is partly why it is easier for me. Also I am 2 and a half years into this journey, so I have way more time to emotionally adjust. But I so do remember the beginning, and it is so fully frightening in the beginning. I feel for you so much. I promise you every good PET scan gives you more strength. Also, honestly, what will happen is you will change. You will become a better friend, husband, father if you are one, and son. Most things that once bothered you won’t anymore. You find out what is truly important. Time, it takes time to get where I am, but you will get there. And totally feel your feelings. You are allowed to feel everything you are feeling. Praying for you. I promise you will be happy again.

[@eduardonavarro6335]

Your dad is a great man. You’re gonna get through this, try your best to ignore all the noise and focus your energy on faith. Technology is advancing at a crazy pase, you will be alright man. Stay positive.

[@dub9raider]

Noah, sending you love, prayers, strength, peace and positivity. Wishing you the best in your journey. You’re a young, strong man. Outcomes are always better for those in your situation, no matter how rare the diagnosis may be. 🙏

[@alexisjaquay6052]

Hi Noah!! I know we don't know each other, but I love you and your family! You guys are so supportive of each other. I think you've got yourself an army behind you. 😉 Ty so much for documenting your battle! This is really educational and inspiring for those fighting their own battles. I love how you don't spare details and you're raw and so transparent. You're a light on this earth. ❤

[@americaneagle697]

Noah, something that helped me was positive thoughts. I kept telling myself i would fight, and i would win. No gray areas. Then a friend of my husbans gave me a witten prayer and he said to say it in the morning and night. I slept much better. Im not good at computers, but i want to send this written prayer that is very powerful. Ive seen.the prayer with commitment to faith change lives. Ill work on getting it to you. Wishing you the best.

[@nathaliehenchey5092]

You got this! Give yourself a chance … it will take a while to process it all. So much to learn, very overwhelming! It feels like a crisis now… but in few weeks you will get/ find some extra strength that you did not know you have… to face all of this. Take it all a day at a time. I am so proud of you already! You are strong! Your support is dedicated to you! It is ok not to be ok! Focus on one good/ positive thing that has happened today… now focus on you and your healing. You have to come first for a while.

[@markpatrick5246]

been watching your mental health videos for awhile and never expected your life would turn to cancer. im so sorry you are going thru this..im so glad you have the love and support of your wife and esp your dad who is a dr to come up with the best medical plan possible for you....i would imagine given your past mental healtjh issues that this is def triggering and im so sorry......i lost my parents 2 yrs ago and ive been ill with severe depression/anxiety/ptsd and not functioning alone in the world without family......family is everything - lean on them and love can cure!

[@boruchsiper4844]

Noah, you don’t realize (maybe you do) how awesome it is to have your dad at your side through this journey. He’s a doctor who’s very knowledgeable, and most importantly, supportive and compassionate. Also, the fact that you started your spiritual journey a year ago isn’t a coincidence. I, as a cancer survivor and a person of faith, honestly don’t know how agnostics/atheists go through this. We’re all rooting for you! May God give you long and healthy years in happiness.

[@baksopluk]

Your dad is an amazing resource ! What a wonderful relationship you two have. Prayers for you attacking this head on ❤

[@janicew5320]

I don’t have nor ever have had cancer so I may be wrong for saying this but as someone who lives with sometimes debilitating depression, I remind myself to make time to stop focusing on my condition and do something that I love and just to appreciate my life as it is. Sometimes it is just simply standing outside and feeling the sun warm and listening to the birds. Give yourself grace and time to live for the moment. You will in my thoughts.

[@barbmueller1178]

Janice, I lived with debilating depression for decades until 2 years ago when my psychiatrist prescribed 30 mg 2xs a day of deztromethorphan (which is the main ingredient in cough syrup) along with wellbutrin. I can tell you that I had relief instantly, so I know that the dextro is something that my brain needed...Ive experienced a genuine miracle for my life!

[@Joe81204]

I don’t know what you’re going through as far as cancer goes. I do have a very strong understanding of anxiety and how it makes you feel. I can’t begin to imagine how you feel personally. You are blessed beyond measure to have your dad by your side. He is level headed and so intelligent. You guys will work together day in and day out to just work and work and work this problem. I have a very personal friend who decided to leave local medicine and go to Mayo Clinic. He was stage 2 almost stage 3. 12 months ago a wreck emotionally, today he is thriving and winning. Finding mental clarity right now seems impossible, do your best to stay positive. From an internet stranger, you are in my prayers. ❤

[@spex76]

Wishing you the best, as always, Noah. You'll come through this stronger than ever.

[@anneh7217]

Happy New Year Noah. My heart goes out to you as you try to absorb this diagnosis and it's rarity. You are being very honest with your fears. Please know that I am praying for you, I pray that you will have courage, acceptance, fortitude, and determination to be guided into a treatment plan that will create a good outcome. I have confidence in you and your dad's ability to come up with the best treatment possible, that will also be included in my prayers for you! Blessings from Vancouver. Canada

[@ryans413]

Your dad always has the best answers for you. You’re lucky to have him.

[@calmrestored6031]

I love the precious relationship you two have. You’re both very lucky to have each other. ❤

[@gilbertwalker6769]

I'm praying for you and with you, Noah! You mentioned that you're praying more and trying to cultivate your relationship with God. Man, you are so connected with God that you couldn't disconnect, even if you wanted to. That's part of our Christian faith. Blessings and support in your journey!

[@traceygilligan1201]

Noah thank you for sharing your day, and what you have learnt. Your Dad is Amazing with words. Pleased to see that your emotional state is up, as well as down, all down would not be good. Be encouraged by information, and words, and aim to get good quality sleep. Best wishes

[@marjilaplante9579]

You're so honest and so real. So vulnerable and open. Thank you for being you.

[@kerrywallace9298]

Hi Noah, I just want to add my encouragement to all the others you've had from the amazing people commenting on your channel. I live in the UK and only found your story a few days ago, and resonated immediately with how you're feeling, you were describing, perfectly, my feelings... In December 2nd last year, I was diagnosed with 2 rarer cancers, Triple Negative breast camcer and Inflammatory breast cancer. Unfortunately mine has metastasized to my Liver and left hip bone, so is classed as Stage 4 and is uncurable. My treatment is just to prolong the amount of time I have left (anything from 4 months -1 or 2 years, no actual prognosis on life expectancy yet). I am a women of faith and my faith has grown even stronger since my diagnosis. I pray every day, for you, for myself, for everyone with Cancer, for complete healing... and I keep coming back to the Bible (NIV)and Jeremiah 29:11-13 (For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope"......), and it brings me a real sense of peace and calm. May God bless you and heal you in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen x

[@Schleg969]

practice accepting.... I can't tell you how acceptance overrides fear. God is with you!!!! Once you accept an treatment path that will be a relief as well. Fight in a good way.... a relaxed way. You seem so much better in this video so I think you are regaining your health!
