So sorry to hear this... here are a few things I learned working as a financial analyst for a hospital system. Medical Bills in the US are negotiable. Pick apart the bill and communicate issues to the hospital, they will lower the price if there is an error (there is always an error). See if you qualify for charity care (every hospital has to offer this). See if you qualify for Medicaid. If your cancer is rare you may qualify for free treatment at the National Institute of Health. Do not let fear of debt get in the way of treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@sharonvalentinerex]

Good advice. Most hospitals have social worker's who know about grants etc. Big churches are also a good place to look for help. I'll be praying for you Chris. I am a 20 year cancer survivor. It's no longer a death sentence. 💙

Tell this to the Canadians who know nothing about our medical system and how the US spends more money per capita on their citizens healthcare than any other country. We don't even have to pre-pay in taxes for supbar services and wait months to see a doctor.

[@ericl4060]

I echo the above comments, the top comment needs so many more likes. I manage insurance contracts at a federally qualified health center (FQHC). A federally designated health center whose purpose it is to not only deliver primary care to Medicaid, Medicare, and uninsured patients, but provide resources for essentially all aspects of life to those that need them. In this case they could help with determining Medicaid eligibility, navigating insurance, helping with sliding fee scale eligibility which can provide little to no cost care, an affordable primary care doc, a care management team who might be able to assist with the chronic care management of this, and really anything else. An FQHC that has an outreach and enrollment team or care management team could connect you to resources at the health center or beyond. There also exist safety net hospitals who could provide hospital care that function similarly in terms of who they’re made to deliver care to, but of course the best help would be what the commenter above is saying. The quality of care provided by FQHCs and Safety Net Hospitals can wildly vary, some being as good as a normal health center or hospital, others being abysmal. But hopefully this information, in conjunction with the other comments, can at least provide an option that will help you better navigate the criminally confusing US healthcare system and get the care you need. There are so many resources out there for folks to utilize, the US just does a horrible job at telling people they exist. I sincerely wish you all the best.

[@anyaw340]

@@KmusikOne Apparently, YOU don't know anything about our healthcare system, either! The fact that the US spends more than any other country on its citizens' healthcare is NOT the flex/brag that you think it is. Why? Because we're STILL unhealthier than the Canadians despite all of that spending and their wait times! Did it ever occur to you that we spend so much precisely BECAUSE our citizens are so unhealthy? Our citizens are so unhealthy because SO many people cannot afford preventative care and medications, so small problems become BIG problems that require BIG spending. Slightly elevated blood pressure that goes untreated turns into severe hypertension, which causes kidney failure and strokes, which forces people to show up in the ER one day needing critical care that MUST be provided; if they have no insurance, or are unemployed, it just might be YOU paying for that critical care. And when hospitals aren't fully reimbursed by the government (which they often aren't), that gets passed on to YOU in the form of raised costs for hospital services. THAT'S where America's spending goes. Lastly, we don't wait months to see a doctor in the US because SO many our nearly 400 million fellow citizens simply can't see a doctor, which frees up access for those of us who can. Look at this guy, who can't schedule an appointment with a doctor because he has no insurance. THAT'S why we can get sooner appointments. That's not something to be proud of. You also say Canadians "pre-pay in taxes" as if YOU aren't *after-paying* for people's astronomical critical care costs. In America, you're going to pay your OWN enormous bills, as well as the bills of many other people. In Canada, you "pre-pay" a reasonable, predictable amount in taxes, in exchange for no out-of-pocket costs for services that you WILL one day use yourself. If America's system made us healthier, you would have a point, but our health outcomes are inferior to Canada's despite America theoretically having the best healthcare in the world.

Now I will no longer be able to change my insurance but at least I already had selected the best possible for my current situation. Medicare is the kind of insurance everyone should have. In four years of cancer treatments I haven’t paid anything out of pocket. It is just unacceptable for someone to not be able to receive the treatment they so desperately need unless they have money.

Praying for you man ! I’ll ask my wife what she recommends your next step she’s a nurse who manages patients care in California.

[@davidkaufman671]

Asking for help, leaning on others is incredibly healthy. Sending healing energy and thoughts.

[@ObservingBeauty]

This video shows up and I'm thankful for your sharing! I can't imagine how you feel but its very clear that you are brave to meet it directly. There must be profound lesson in all this for you, and your sharing of it can ripple far to others.

[@farmgirlpicker6423]

So sorry to hear this. Shocking and traumatizing. I believe your GoFundMe will raise the money you need to get the best treatment. Keep updating here as people really care and want to support you! Sending you lots of prayers, love and light.❤

[@larrywilliams5708]

Omg, I’m sorry Chris. I’m a survivor of a different kind of cancer. Chin up, fight like hell. Wishing the best 🙏

[@mmcrommett]

There are dozens of cancer charities that help patients pay. I am a cancer patient my self. I would look into those. Also there are many churches willing to help even if you’re not a believer. Don’t get discouraged you got this!

[@sdudigumi]

Also synagogues but they dont help non-jews.

[@bordereau1]

I went through everything I had. And after surviving Stage 4 cervical, uterine and colorectal cancer ......I am back to work...at age 66......reach out to the America Cancer Society, local charities and charity care through the hospitals. Sending prayers

[@brockjenken4307]

Chris, your videos have provided me endless comfort and enjoyment. It breaks my heart to see you go through this, but know we're all rooting for you

[@UndoneUndone-m1s]

I am so sorry for not just you, but all the young persons that have the same diagnosis especially the young mothers,who’s little kids is left motherless,and have to grow up with stepmothers-- sometimes bad or- just looking out for their own- and new loves !!!! May The Lord keep them close and safe. Be strong and get well Al of you, God willing.

[@haposapi3776]

Sooo sorry to hear this. You are in my prayers. I got diagnosed with gastric cancer 1 month ago, I am young and worked out regularly, healthy. Terrifying. You will overcome this. Treatment options and navigating doctors is a full time job

[@stevef7814]

Pulling for you. I have my own cancer journey, so understand much of what you're feeling. Chipped in, and hope more random strangers see this and do the same.

[@grainydaysss]

Damn, no me gusta. Hang in there buddy, let me know if you need anything AT ALL WHATSOEVER. Sorry for text-screaming - i hope everything gets easier from here 🙏

[@scottfarrellfoto]

Don’t know where you live in Wisconsin, but one suggestion would be to see what state assisted health / cancer programs are available thru the University of Wisconsin Health / Carbone Cancer Center. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery.

[@Chanelle2024]

Hi, this is the only video I’ve seen, so I really don’t know you but you just touched my heart being so natural and candid as you say ❤. I live in Switzerland where we pay a great amount of money every month for our health insurance. But then, in your case, we would have an immediate appointment with the right spécialist and also the necessary surgery as soon as possible, whatever the cost. So I immediately went to your go fund me to do my part and I’ve been so glad to see that others did the same to help you after this terrible and unexpected shock you had at the ER. Wishing you the BEST and tell us about your fight … if you wish ❤

[@oifiismith]

I am 51 and I am getting checked out now for cancer. I know the worries you have. My heart hurts for you and all the young people getting cancer. I am praying for you. Stay surrounded by the people you love and that love you. Much love, prayers and hugs.

[@deborahlynn4439]

Affordable Care Act? It accepts everyone regardless of preexisting conditions. Wishing you a full recovery.❤

[@lindajohnson.]

That is what I was thinking. 😢

[@lowkey3820]

Yes but its based on income and tho they cannot deny you it can still be expensive. Unfortunately he will have to get a diagnoses and if its stage 4 or considered terminal he can get on disability and get health care insurance provided to him that way. Affordable care act sucks unless you are poverty or close to it. If you are middle class the monthly premiums can still be very expensive with a lot of outta pocket expenses. Welcome to the United States Of America! Where we have $800 billion a year budget for the military but good healthcare is a privilege.

[@kamranzaheri3016]

Previous comment is correct. Apply for social security ASAP. You will start receiving your checks within 12 months however your Medicare will take 24 months from the time of application. Good luck🙏🏼

[@fredsmith3456]

The earlier suggestion from someone else of getting a social worker is a MUST. Thinking of you and praying for you.

[@sigalabergel916]

You are never alone. You have us all. Sending our best wishes 🙏 keep us posted here, okay?

[@Joferry2000]

Im sorry your going through this. I can’t imagine how difficult this is. I’m in Canada where everyone has healthcare, I will never understand why the US ( wealthiest nation in the world ) doesn’t cover medical for its citizens. I hope you can get the treatment you need ❤

[@michalkubalaofficial]

Sorry to hear this Christopher, it will be fixable and u will get stronger mate!! Keep doing the work, even small projects it can help you with the fight - but rest a lot, u need energy. I experienced something 7 years ago and I changed a lot. Support your body with juice detox, try to change diet to more plant based, skip all the sugars - no alcohol, no sweets, no junk food.. keep sweet just from the fruits. We love your chanel and we love u, fight and inform us about the steps of your treatment.

[@barbarajean7208]

i'm sorry this is happening. I reviewed the comments and believe they have given sage advice: check out Obamacare, speak to a social worker, and do the thing despite the potential debt. Take care and wish you a speedy recovery. You are very brave! Asking for help is key.

[@Kim-qk2vl]

Of course you’re overwhelmed. But you are going to be surprised how many helpful professionals there will be on your journey. Demand honesty. Ask for benefits vs risks every step of the way. YOU determine what is of value to you and you deserve full transparency with physicians you trust. God bless.

[@narcassassin8998]

Same man I have cancer too I’ll see you on the other side hopefully not soon. Hope you beat it. It’s too late for me

[@Wazza25]

All these young ppl getting sick it's so sad. I really hope your okay . I'm so sorry

[@northernlitez1]

I'm so very sorry. Your video just came through my feed, so this is my first time watching. If everyone would watch your video"s and pump the views up, that would be some income. I will be praying for you.

[@Dr.Fiendish]

Best wishes to you for the future. Makes me grateful to be here in England where you don’t have to pay for medical treatment. I can’t imagine how awful that must be worrying about money at a time like this. Hope things work out ok.

[@MYT-Ixe]

Yes it is a wrong System in the USA

[@silvieb2024]

He should have had insurance like everyone else. He obtained it now, and so will be covered for his healthcare.

[@TimothymakeupsDitzler]

Oh man. Chris I am so sorry. Here for you if you need anything. You’ll get this sorted. ♥️

[@anthonygasparini1734]

Just happened upon your channel. I want to say you are not alone. I will keep you in my prayers and wish you all the best.

[@wildehorse2803]

So sorry you’re going through this, especially on your birthday. Wishing you all the good vibes and best energies to get through this trying time. 🙏🏼

[@QuickTechReviews]

Dude push for clinical trial. My mom had exact same way of finding out - left side of body seizures/spasm. Lesions on brain. Stage 4 lung…had amazing success with Durvalumab.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Unfathomable Chris, I am so sorry to hear. Contributed and sending you strength and support.

[@thedondeluxe6941]

So sorry to hear this. I'm crossing all fingers and toes and hoping for the best🤞🏻 Hang in there!

[@ruthgoff3540]

I had two different typea of cancer diagnosed 1 month apart. My most severe stage 4 is now in remission. Dont give up hope. I am much older than you, there are people (philoptriphast) spelling that are there to help you. There are resources you need a nurse navigator and a good set of cancer team. I have been blessed. Its hard right at first, but people will be there for you. Prayers. Ruth.

[@mph85032]

Really impressed with your poise. I can't imagine dealing with something like this. I'll support how I can and will check in regularly on where things stand.

[@bekalyn]

I take care of my mom who has metastatic pancreatic cancer and she had a Whipple in 2020. It’s a long, hard road but never listen to life expectancy. Insurance is shit for a lot of people but I’m sending you all the positive vibes possible and I hope that even with it metastasizing they figure out how you can live long as possible. Again, never listen to life expectancy results ❤️

[@itskirstenlee]

Oh no! I’m so sorry that you’re having to navigate this in general and without active insurance. I can’t imagine how stressful this must be. Wishing the best to you and yours, man.

[@Wickedlydrivenmedia]

I have stage IV ALK+ lung cancer and can relate to you. You will get through this, just take it a step at a time. If you need support and want to talk please let me know. If you can get a genetic test it will tell you if you are ALK+. If you are there are a lot of options out there for treatment and it becomes less terminal. There is also a lot of support online for people with lung cancer. (and lung cancer tends to travel to the brain so it doesn't surprise me.)

[@Endahsusi-d1s]

If ALK genetic test negative then still lung cancer with ALK positive ?

[@Wickedlydrivenmedia]

@@Endahsusi-d1s no... you need a positive result on the genetic test for ALK or EGFR. ALK+ is still lung cancer, but its easier to treat.

[@sorted.1235]

So scary. Hang in there, hon. Slow down, hold your loved ones close, breathe. From one cancer survivor to a future other one, blessing on you. My advice (when advice is usually unhelpful) bring your partner with you to appointments to record it / take notes, and drink water. Lots of water. Water is good. For everything.

[@biffalump]

Love from the uk fight fierce my friend , will keep donating what I can peace and love from my family to yours ❤❤

Sorry to hear that, hope your treatment works well . Donated!

I love you, man

[@thetroothhurtz]

So so so sorry to hear this. Stay strong brother. I wish you the best!!!

[@langedenver]

Hang in there man there’s always hope. Wish you the best

[@AeromaticXD]

Really hoping you get well soon! Keep on keeping on! My Aunty had brain tumours and she kicked arse for an almost extra 20 years.

[@charleyfolkes]

Jimmy Carter had a brain tumor and was able to receive an immunotherapy drug called Keytruda, and his success with that treatment is worth noting. Cancer is one of the most studied diseases and there is a protocol for each case and type, but there is always a treatment. As far as timing and waiting, yeah that can be upsetting but honestly it might take some time anyway to get all the tests done and treatment plan in place so be easy on yourself and don’t react, take long walks, work on your stress. How do I know .. I’m sharing bc I’ve been there since 2017, and I’m going to thank you bc your show on YT and others helped me. I’ll pray for you.

[@seanroberts8553]

Brave of you for sharing, sending positive thoughts and love your way.

[@CG-up9iv]

You did a great job of explaining this while you're still processing it. Wishing you all the best, you seem like a strong dude and totally capable of fighting this. 💛

[@kennyward5252]

Holy cow man best of luck with your treatment🙏🏻

[@elamenop88]

Donating now. Very tough to hear. Thanks for being brave and putting this out there.

[@eatthetoast]

i feel like this is happening way to often. my brother, i relate to you on every level. i was diagnosed back in december with cholangiocarcinoma. after the last 20 years of what ive been through health wise, i never thought id see the day were i would say the C word about myself. all i can say to you is surround yourself with a support team, do what makes you happy and dont look back. just fight as best you can, thats all ive been doing. i make is my best effort to do something everyday, not care about the small things and cherish every moment. im sending you all my love man, im here if you need to reach out and talk and get stuff of your chest, always man, always here.

[@CCitis]

Oh dude, the amount of young people getting serious cancer is WILD. There are so many youtubers even that have it... its very odd

[@eatthetoast]

@@CCitis absolutely bizarre, it’s blown my mind how many photographers have either had cancer of recent or a just being diagnosed. I don’t get it

[@xxxxMonkeyGirlxxxx]

It’s the terrible food that we eat. Processed foods and highly processed foods are bad for you but new enough that no one knows the long term health issues. Compounded by all the pesticides in our foods as well that again no one knows what the long term health issues will be and now you had PFAS in almost all drinking water and food which is known to cause cancer and you have a recipe for disaster.

[@gentlefoo]

i’m keeping you in my thoughts and only sending positive energy! you got this! stay strong ❤

[@krisstiell6548]

Bro I'm so sorry this is happening to you, I wish you are able to find a solution, please keep us updated on what's happening. God bless you 🙏🏽

[@Alves69]

Its sad to see the cancer numbers sky rocketing this year, i've never watched none of your content but this video showed up on my main page, all the best, do not give up, and fight it with everything you have
