My Final Round of Chemo!!!

[@SkyeHarMione]

Hey Grace, I know you were probably (half?) joking, but as someone who has also had cancer: you did not do this to yourself. Cancer happens to people no matter how healthy you try to be. There are obviously risk factors, but there's also a huge helping of bad genetics and bad luck. You do not deserve this. Also, depression and anger after treatment is over is SUPER common. You're no longer focused on fighting and can finally process how much everything sucked. Totally normal, and meds and therapy can help a ton.

[@itsgrace]

thank you!! this is helpful to hear!

[@Cerridwen7777]

Agreed. I still kick my own ass sometimes, blaming my alcohol consumption for my cancer. I still sometimes feel guilty about it, but you're 100% right.

[@JackiHamm]

Well said.

[@dreamincolor14]

I absolutely love this comment on her video. I literally came with the full intention of telling her you did not do this to yourself, just to see your comment and I love it😊

[@takeadeepbreathin]

Yes! Exactly this!

[@MissTwilightHater]

Telling your body it was doing a great job made me tear up. Yeah, Grace's body, you're fucking awesome ❤

[@itsgrace]

bodies do incredible things, turns out!

[@Tippyturtle84]

Me too! Then of course she made me laugh at….”even you left tit! True greatness ❤

[@MartaSBehindTheBoite]

Not me tearing up when you said, "I don't know" at the end. You and I have the same birthday, are the same age, and I've watched you for years. Way to go, Grace. Way to go, girl. 38 has been a time.

[@itsgrace]

38 is quite a year for us, fellow libra!!

[@MakeItMagical27]

Hi fellow birthday buddies 👋

[@Starinthesky826]

Hi! Well, I'm not a fully Birthday Buddy but I an an early October fellow Libra! Hi Fellow close to Birthday Buddy Libras! ❤

[@gabrielgrowingup]

I found Daily Grace when I was closeted in college and needed a friend. Then life got better (yay!) and hectic (oof) and I drifted from watching KZbin a bit. I just reconnected with your channel years later while I’m battling chronic illness, and to see you walking through your own experience with such vulnerability and openness and generosity-I’m kind of overwhelmed by the timing of it honestly but mostly just thankful for the weird wonder of the internet and how it connects strangers in ways that seem small but are actually enormously meaningful in ways we maybe don’t even yet understand. You’re a champ, and I’m proud of you, and I’m proud of me. Thank you. **fart noise to break the tension**

[@itsgrace]

I’m so sorry you’re battling chronic illness but how nice to accidentally connect at this weird part of life again. The universe is silly like that sometimes. Thanks for your support and gas! Sending it back atcha!

[@Ellysmelly48]

I'm going through chemo right now as well and you've brought me so much peace so thank you so much for your willingness to share your journey with all of us!

[@itsgrace]

that makes me happy to hear! good luck with your chemo! you can do it!

[@alyssanicholson4312]

God bless❤Many prayers!

[@j.jenkins1885]

All the thoughts and strength to you on your journey! You got this!!

[@dogdonut3]

❤ Sending love and hope your way!

[@Kloetenhenne]

Wow, I hope the side effects aren't that bad for you! Kick cancer's butt!

[@PfreshLim]

I teared more than I expected. You have a way with words Helbig, and they hit me every time. Will continue to root for you in the next steps of kicking cancers ass!!!

[@itsgrace]

💪🏻💓

[@heler87]

'I need to start working with my body not against it.' That really got me. ED recovery is so full of messages like 'love your body for what it does for you' but for some of us it makes us sick and how can we love it when it seems intent on killing us? By being a team; with, not against.

[@BendiFaguette]

Chemo turned my mom into a comedian. She was never funny before chemo but she’d tell the most terrible mom jokes to get through it. Her favorite joke went something like: “What is super short and super long at the same time?” It was her way of telling me to enjoy every minute of my life. The funny girl.

[@Ttoby89]

Shockingly long-time watcher, not much of a commenter, but this latest series has been really inspiring and oddly helpful in going over some of my feelings about my Mama passing from cancer a couple of years ago. I wish she'd had you to watch. Wishing you all the best

[@itsgrace]

💓💓💓

[@clystanieves]

I didn’t know how to verbalize these exact thoughts and you said them so perfectly. I lost my mom to cancer earlier this year. Sending you and Grace lots to love.

[@ginabongirno8128]

Grace hearing you feeling excited about christmas decorating is really helping me this holiday season.

[@itsgrace]

i'm starting to see what the christmas girlies keep squawking about

[@MoWhales]

Keep talking through those feelings. The transitions between points of care in my heart transplant journey are always a little melancholy, a little apprehensive, a little relief. It's like I am glad to be done with the thing, but feel like I got sent back to Go without my $200. And while the step you've been on may not have been your favorite, brains sure do like familiar don't they? Congrats on finishing chemo. Take a deep breath. You're getting closer to the other side.

[@itsgrace]

yes exactly those thoughts! lots of competing feelings all at once

[@mr_BlueJT22]

I've been around for a very long time, pre this channel and I've never been much of a commentator. But following this journey the last few months has been inspirational to say the least, you've handled everything with such class and openness and I just want to say how happy and proud I am for what you've done. Really helped me to keep moving forward through my own shit, no matter how small and remedial it may be. Much love.

[@itsgrace]

Thank you so much for these thoughts and support! I hope we all keep moving the best we can through our shit. There's some gifts in the shit maybe. 💪🏻

[@charlottekepler4892]

Congratulations, Grace!! I am a mammography tech - I often perform the exams before this process and after it's finished, as well as those tough biopsies like the one you described. Your videos have not only brought me joy but also helped to illuminate for me what my patients go through behind the scenes. We know, but at the same time we don't. You help me to give better care and I'll continue trying to do my best, just like you. Go get 'em! Thank you for what you do.

[@staceyn2541]

My ex did his first chemo yesterday for a pancreatic tumor. Your vlogs here have really helped me support him. I am trying to gently push him to watch too. Thank you Grace, your sharing is more important than you know. It's also helped me cope with my dog's chemo. He gets 16 weeks of treatment, 4 weeks left. Still can't believe it's the same drugs they give people. I am crying right now for the first time and I appreciate you for that too. Thank you Grace. Thank you

[@itsgrace]

Sending you lots of support!

[@mllemeg09]

I know this is weird, but this almost 38 yr old Canadian is just so grateful for you, Grace! We'll likely never meet, but I consider you a friend. The internet is wild. Thank you for sharing your journal reflections and your life with us. You make life less lonely.

[@Daydreamer52811]

Hi Grace! I really hope you see this comment - I’ve watched you for years and have never commented but I want to share this with you, I’ve had a pretty tough 2023 too I’m 39 and was diagnosed with colon cancer in late March 2023, had surgery mid April 2023 and did adjuvant chemotherapy starting May 2023 finished August 2023 when you just started your journey - chemo is definitely a wild ride to be on physically, emotionally, good days, bad days, awful days , I totally get it but as you mentioned there’s value in this experience too, I’ve never been so in tune with myself or have such clarity. Also listening to you & Mamrie helped me get through it, y’all always make me smile, so thank you!!! Your sense of humor, putting in the self care work, and your openness & strength is something you should really be proud of! Yayyy done with chemo! Moving onward and upward.. 💕

[@itsgrace]

💓

[@Kedzie_]

Cancer can suck it sideways. There's little rhyme nor rhythm with who is going to get cancer, as it's such a mix of factors. One poor bastard can smoke for a few years and get lung cancer, yet a grizzled old war vet smokes a pack an hour and lives to 100. You. Are. Strong!

[@AeileonNOTW]

She did it! She ended the video with "I don't know!" Honestly I know this has been such a wild and difficult journey but this era of feeling like classic Grace mixed with vulnerable Grace has been such a comfort watch lately.

[@noakessimon]

I think clichés exist for a reason, at their heart most of them are fundamentally true. I'm so pleased for you Grace that you got to the end of it.

[@kendrickunlimited]

i'm truly so proud of you grace. as someone who thought "dressed to repress" was so hilarious and clever as a teenager, it means a lot to see you being this vulnerable online. congratulations on completing round 6. you are so strong!

[@Bri9282]

What you said about not knowing other people’s struggles made me so emotional. I have had a chronic pain condition for nearly 20 years. I am 33 now and to the world I look like a normal healthy young woman. What most people don’t see is the pain and fatigue I deal with just trying to accomplish small tasks. I pull myself together as best as I can but at home my life is very different and difficult at times. Thank you for speaking on this and reminding people that we truly don’t know what anyone is dealing with. Whether it be a physical ailment, mental health, relationship trouble, or finances, we all have something going on. I always try to extend kindness to people.❤️

[@lindseyoreilly9211]

I've been a long time fan since Daily Grace! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. You've always been such a positive light in the youtuber world. Sending you all the love as you heal from this last round of chemo (hooray!)

[@beegbee825]

My mom had breast cancer at (my now/ your) age. She had no support. Seeing your journey has healed a piece of me that thought cancer was a hopeless and joyless experience. Thrilled for you. Rooting you on! ❤️

[@Georgiaisapirate]

“What gifts are hidden among all the sh…” that really resonates with me! I got diagnosed with an autoimmune condition around six years ago - it turned my life upside down but it also gave me strength, assertiveness and more understanding about myself. Thank you for sharing your journey. You’re incredibly strong, even on the days you don’t feel you are 💖

[@goatmenace]

Thank you for this very candid and intimate look into your journey with chemo and breast cancer. As a viewer who knows how much you mean it when you say you're a private person, sharing this really took a lot of guts and energy and I hope it's only better and better news for you from now on.

[@TheSummerquinn]

Wow. Grace. Thank you, I recently received a diagnosis that is life changing. I have been watching your videos/ being a fan for over a decade and I am so grateful I have “someone I know” giving information/perspective about going through a similar situation. Thank you for showing your bravery. Your strength means WAY more than you know. Thank you for being so honest and sharing with the world. You make me feel strong. I feel my worth because of you. Thank you.

[@natashabugarin140]

Thank you for your list of cliché’s that are very much cliché’s because of how VERY true they are. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I hate this for you but you’re not alone. I’m so glad you have the support system that you do. Pulling for you in this LAST few steps.

[@leahreiss2943]

I have personally been so encouraged by watching your health/cancer journey, Grace. I'm continually pressing for answers about my own tumors/health & I'm emboldened to partially because of your own advocacy. You've demonstrated that it's crucial for us to listen to our bodies, and through your vulnerability you've given your viewers the opportunity to see that joy, community, honesty, rest, and an air of comedy are essential to survival in the face of something so daunting. Thank you so much Grace, and congratulations! You've worked so hard and you're so close to the finish line ❤️❤️❤️

[@livbrooks4194]

I love how we’ve all (mostly) grown up here. I love the growth we’ve all gone through. Grace, your intelligence, your humour, and your energy are always so incredibly wonderful to experience. I love these glimpses we get of vulnerability that remind every one of us it’s okay to be vulnerable too. Thank you. ❤

[@queens6583]

Hooray, chemo done! You did it! Phase 2 surgery, you've got this Grace and I'll put in an order of good MoJo to the power's that be. Yes, our bodies are amazing and I can tell as a retired ICU nurse of 44 years, I have seen patients recover when everyone has written them off. Your absolutely right about leaning into family and friends for support. BTW, that tiramisu looked soooo good.

[@AmbroseReed]

My dad finished his last round of chemo a few weeks ago, and I was in LA for the whole process, feeling weird and distant, wishing I could do more to help but respecting his desire to go through the process his own way. (He didn't even let my mom go to most of the infusions.) We recently received the news that the treatment was successful and he won't need further surgeries or treatment at this time(!!) I watched this video from my parents' couch, and get to be here to celebrate this news in time for the holiday season. I'm *so* thankful to you and Hank for sharing your experiences, as it helped me understand more of what my dad was experiencing but unable to share in real time. And I'm so happy for you to be done with this difficult phase. Wishing you the absolute best, and hope you get to have similar celebrations with your family soon.

[@rileycordle6943]

sending you soSOSSO much light, love, positivity and healing, Grace🥰🥰🥰 you’ve done it for me SO often with out even knowing and i’m here to return the favor. 🫡♥️♥️♥️

[@MiaSaleemah]

Every update I get so much joy seeing how you're emotionally handling this. You're so right. Your body has been AMAZING in getting through this and fighting this cancer but your BRAIN and SOUL have been SHINING! You're amazing. Keep being amazing, Grace.

[@erininabox]

I'm so glad everyone's messages have been a bright spot for you. Para-social relationships are weird. But your videos have gotten me through some really shitty health days and some really shitty mental health days, and I just wish I/we could return the favor. You are a really beautiful presence online and the world needs more of that. You really deserve to be proud of the work you've put out there and the person you've become, and you deserve all the kindness you can give yourself, and then some.

[@aprilrivas5071]

All of these videos you have made make me very emotional, especially this one. I’ve been going through health battles that are frustrating and never ending. Nothing as difficult as cancer, of course, but your positivity through this entire ordeal has made me hopeful. I have watched you for over a decade, but I admire you even more now. You’re absolutely an inspiration to so many people and we are SO proud of you ❤

[@susanmcmillan6130]

As a survivor myself, I cannot tell you how important all these things are- but they really are. Thank you Grace, for allowing us to go along this journey with you. My only personal regret is that nobody was doing this when I went through it. IT'S IMPORTANT. And it makes a DIFFERENCE. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@aranzazucastro8947]

You’re a champ, dude. Going through what you have is not f* easy, and I can only imagine how hard it has been; understanding, accepting and integrating fear is not an easy task to deal with; and you still have the determination and willingness to find a way to share it with us. You give light to this world- in you own, unique way - and even though we don’t know each other, I thank you for existing. I send you a big, respectful hug.

[@EdwardCulpepper]

The cancer [insert any problem] was the problem, not me. ♥️ idk why, but those words made me cry so hard. Thank you Helbig for becoming more vulnerable. I’ve watched you from afar since early early New York. I always knew you were private, but I knew one day you’d blossom. It’s wonderful to watch you come into your own ♥️

[@Cerridwen7777]

So proud of you and happy for you. You handled this part of the journey with such grace (hyuk hyuk) and you're giving strength and hope to others with this bullshit disease (BC survivor myself, dx age 42, 5 years cancer free next spring). You're a warrior and an inspiration.

[@Shellzilla]

I love this version of you. You’re inspiring and remind me to be kinder to myself. 🩷

[@ajotcole]

Years ago when I was younger I used to watch Grace a lot, but then life came, and I was caught up with other things. But ever since the recent vlogs over the past months, I had rediscovered Grace's channel, and it feels like catching up with a relative that you haven't seen in years. I am also journaling a lot to keep my mind sane, so I genuinely enjoy listening to someone else talk also about their journaling. We all have come a long way, but we make the best out of it. Thank you for vlogging this process, I wish you a good recovery, Grace. Greetings from Germany! You are awesome!

[@lasau4284]

You are just keeping me going Grace. I love your videos. My dad is terminally ill from Pancreatic Cancer and watching you openly talk about how you feel brings such comfort !!

[@becks1716]

Mazel tov Grace! You did something that probably didn't seem like a feasible task at the start, and yet, you killed it!! 6 out of 6 chemo rounds = completed!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Some of us may never understand what you have gone through while others may fully get it, but regardless, we have all been here with you each step of the way cheering you on.

[@milshy01]

Watching you go through all of this has truly meant so much to me as I’ve also been going through my own triple positive breast cancer diagnosis this year as a fellow 38 year old. I’m a few months ahead of you in treatment terms though and I did a mastectomy followed by 12 rounds of chemo ending in September. I couldn’t help but nod along with all of your thoughts and feelings. Did you ring the bell? I couldn’t bring myself to do it because I still have to go for herceptin infusions every 3 weeks for a year, and I still needed a reconstruction surgery. I think the hardest thing about this next stage is the waiting game to see if the chemo worked and actually did what it needed to do so that there’s no recurrence or metastasis. It’s like you put all your energy into doing chemo, and feeling special, and getting lots of attention and then when that stops, it’s an adjustment to get back to real life. But I’m with you that cancer definitely got me unstuck out of the rut I was in and I finally learned to prioritize myself for once, focus on what I actually want to do, and recognize all the amazing and truly supportive people I have in my life. So thanks for letting me journal some of my own thoughts and for helping me to process along the way!

[@Pikazavrik]

Thank you so much for opening up a window into your life with honesty and care. Those interpretations of experiences and wisdom weigh in gold. You are awesome

[@milkshakebananaz]

Life is crazy. I’m having an opposite life experience rn (in the middle of a high risk pregnancy… I haven’t commented yet bc it’s obviously SO DIFFERENT and I felt weird even pretending to relate) but have been relating and crying to these videos so hard. Just the… grow up glow up while having your whole world change and the new appreciation for home and domestic stuff. Vulnerability and accepting help and being weak. Thank you, Grace. You’re great. I’ve been watching you since my damn channel days and now I’m 35. We did a shot together one year at playlist like a decade (or more 🫣) ago 😂 I think y’all were pretty faded and I was at the party with Toby Turner just to let you know where we collectively were at that snap shot in time. Time is wild.

[@stephymcgrath]

Hi Grace, 7 years ago I had a seizure while prepping Thanksgiving dinner. My husband found me seizing on the kitchen floor and I was rushed to the hospital. They found a brain tumor and I was rushed into emergency surgery. It was an arduous healing process. I just wanted to say that I definitely had a "grieving" stage. My life was much different after my craniotomy and I myself was very different. I wasn't able to do the things I used to. I was angry and frustrated and it took some time to come to grips with my new normal (cringe). I just had so many feelings that I didn't know how to cope with. But, I learned and I grew. You have so many more tools and so much more knowledge than I did at the time and even now do. Life after a traumatic illness is strange, but I am confident you will come out the other side even stronger than you were before.

[@TheDweller0690]

Hey Grace. As a fellow cancer fighter/survivor I just wanna say thank you for sharing. It has reminded me about my crazy journey through this whole thing. I wish I had done something like this to get all my thoughts out and share with others. I had one hell of a fight. Just wanted to say hi and thanks ❤

[@CherishTheePetersen]

Grace, the spiced cinnamon apple tea is absolutely so god damn delicious. It’s my favorite. I’m a reformed heavy coffee drinker because it started giving me migraines (isn’t aging just a peach), so I am all in on this tea journey with you! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, even though it’s so personal. I have been sending you so much love and allll the healing and good vibes 💕💕

[@andhisband]

Hi Grace! I'm so glad we've come so far and you're next to recovered. You amaze me, young lady. You also reminded me of another story (I don't know why) but it was at the start of the pandemic, right before we got the "stay at home" order. I went to Target to stock up on sanitizer, soap, disinfectant cleaner, etc. (It would help at this point if you knew I have serious hay fever.) Target was packed, the check-out line was long, and my arms were full because I was too late to score a cart. There I stood waiting when an Indian woman passed by; she had recently bathed with a strongly scented soap. Scents are my trigger, and I got a nose full. I was fighting it, but I had to let out the biggest, juiciest sneeze. SPLCHOO! Suddenly, I knew how Moses felt when he parted the Red Sea, as people immediately backed away from me in all directions. But the looks on their faces; it was the sort of horror you'd get if you kicked your neighbor's pet cat. Sheepishly, I mumbled "Sorry" and the space around me contracted a bit, but that day Target shoppers and I all learned the meaning of social distance: don't stand closer to someone than would make you comfortable if he started sneezing. I'm still going to be praying for you, at least through your surgery. Good luck!

[@itsgrace]

what a tale!

[@DeeEllEff]

There’s still some of that. My allergies caused a big sneeze (into my bent elbow, as usual) at the supermarket today, and I heard from behind me what sounded like a sincere “God Bless You” and turned (to say thank you) to see a woman scurrying away while properly wearing a face mask made of what looked like heavy saddle leather. She had nothing to fear, as it turned out, but we do live in a whole different world now!

[@andhisband]

@@DeeEllEff Indeed it's different. And it's kind of fun to see what people's ideas of social distance really are when push comes to shove. For that woman it could have been the next county.

[@kait5280]

So mother fuckin' proud of you Grace!

[@Candylady-jb6md]

Grace is the ultimate bad ass for surviving this horrible disease that could have easily killed her but she fucking survived this she's so fucking awesome

[@SophiieStew]

Congratulations Grace for finishing your chemo! That's such a huge acomplishment and to keep your humour and energy up to film these too just amazing! My mum recently finished her radiation after a lumpectomy for breast cancer and after hearing what you've been through with your chemo journey, I know for sure you're over the worst of it. Thinking of you all the time

[@AsukaS1993]

Grace, your stream of consciousness was so beautiful. As someone with severe anxiety and overthinking habits, i absolutely resonate with what you said. You're such a genuine, badass and inspirational person. Congratulations on finishing the chemo! I'll keep following your experiences from afar.

[@LakerZombie]

Wise words towards the end there Grace. You continue to be a beacon of hope and positivity even though you probably don't see it that way. Couldn't be more happy for you with this last round of chemo. All the positivity and good thoughts to you, your husband, and your friends and family during this holiday season 🙏

[@vanilacokefoke]

Ugh... You hit me with this one. That last bit of words of wisdom hit so many chords and now I'm crying, which I haven't done in months. I just want to say again that I appreciate you being so humble, honest and open through this journey and that you are truly making such a huge impact on so many people by doing so. THANK YOU.

[@jennifermiller1042]

Parasocial support is sometimes the best kind. It's just there, no effort or requirement. You've done that for us for so many years. I like giving it back!

[@LyssRyann]

Congratulations on your final round!! I really appreciate your vulnerability through all of this

[@ffabarbie-9002]

Grace thank you for being a positive light in the world. Congratulations on doing the hard work of fighting cancer. Even when fighting cancer your videos are me smile.

[@StephRosebud]

You are so insightful, gracious and wise. I’ve had a parasocial relationship with you for about a decade now 😄 and I’m so impressed with how you’ve handled your cancer experience. Sending giant hugs your way. Maybe Mamrie can bring back “YouDeserveADrink” and toast you because you definitely deserve one! 😊❤️🍹

[@fatsajak]

[@gemmalittle6206]

Love you so much Grace. I love your vulnerability and how you express all the ebs and flows of this difficult experience. The fact that you’ve constantly just kept moving forward with so much strength, understanding and empathy is amazing, beautiful and very admirable. All your feelings are so valid and I’m so glad you’ve given yourself so many incredible skills and tools to help you work through these difficult feelings with your studies and therapy. Sending you all the love, care, hugs and good health 💙💙💙💙

[@Greywacke838]

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you and what a big help these have been to me. I'm trying to deal with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), I haven't been able to work for two years now and work has been my passion and core of my life so I'm really struggling. I've been watching for years now and I find the perspective of a fellow introvert masking with comedy very helpful and insightful over the years but your last few videos have been particularly impactful in helping me with self compation and trusting myself. I think the worst thing about having a TBI is that I feel like my own unreliable narrator, my memory and feelings are so scrambled that I don't feel I can trust myself. Your willingness to share your struggles and successes with your own situation has helped me get a better perspective on my own so thank you very much and I wish you all the best!

[@mariegalvan2]

My teenage self and adult self is so happy for this human I’ve been keeping up with for years. So happy for you and hope your health continues to improve xx

[@carcritter]

incredibly happy for you grace. I was diagnosed with cancer nearly 3 years ago when I was 21 and remember the weight lifted from my shoulders when I walked out of the building after my final round of chemo. Your takeaways ring true no matter how cliche they may seem, I distinctly remember journaling about so many similar things as my treatment was nearing completion. I look forward to more good news and am wishing you well through future surgery and recovery, and of course, a happy holiday season :’)

[@KylinNicole11]

@DoctorMike This video is amazing for patient advocacy with Grace discussing it at the 15:00 mark. The full conversation of her cancer journey starts at 11:20 and is amazing to hear and gives great advice.

[@HillaShx]

Your openness and vulnerability are so inspiring, Grace. Good job on being a positive voice for people who battle some of the toughest and most lonely experiences in life. Sending love to you, your body, and your support system in your journey to full recovery and a deeper understanding of your own emotions. ❤

[@crystalnavarette5886]

Thank you for letting us see your journey through this. Especially the talk at the end. I also just finished my 6th(last) chemo for stage 3 ovarian cancer mid November and been going through a similar mental process. Not only has cancer given me a physical battle, it also takes you many places mentally. I totally cna relate to what you said. It's relieving to see that others go through this process as well. From the lifelong battle with our body/mind connection and realization that we never know what others are battling as well. I appreciate the honesty very much. Thank you so much.

[@alisaishere]

I had a full medical emergency just over two years ago and I almost died. They even told me in the ER that I would have been in a body bag the next day if I didn't come. I ignored all my symptoms and signs, because it's easier to repress and ignore. I got diagnosed with a handful of diseases all stemming from one cute little genetic default. Every single day that I'm alive, that's because of me and my body. Thank yourself for doing all the you can to protect yourself and stay strong. The medical world is a miracle worker and our bodies are amazing (I can go into a 5 hour lecture about the amazing ways the body changes itself to keep on functioning). But sometimes we also need to remember that what we do, even if it's as little as getting sleep and drinking water, is helping the whole team fight. And yeah, the emotions and therapy and all that helps so much in processing. My therapist had me bawling last week because she can't believe how far I've come and how much I've learned to take credit in caring for myself. Thank you for taking us along this journey and being real about it.

[@itsgrace]

Amazing to hear how far you’ve come! 💪🏻

[@chloemarie7069]

This situation obviously sucks and I’m so upset that you’ve gone through this, but the wisdom you’ve shared and the things you’ve learned for yourself along the way has to be a silver lining. Keep kicking ass Grace ❤

[@kateealer7]

In college, our Priest gave us a list of positive things to give up for Lent; one of them was giving up denying your limitations. As someone who always hated asking for help, I gave this up and have not been afraid to ask for help when I need it. Glad that you have seen this philosophy in your own life and are kicking cancer's rear end as a consequence. Godspeed, friend. ✌️

[@makrauss]

I had testicular cancer in '89, spent much of '90 in chemo, it's now 2023 with no more cancer issues, you'll get over this chemo sickness and get your energy back. I came out of it seeing life with a little better appreciation. well wishes for a long and fruitful life Grace

[@nickmancini1076]

Hell yea Grace! Congratuf****nlations! You did the damn thing, girl. And can I just say the perspectives you’ve gained from this experience are literally glowing out of you. I think we all would do well to absorb these pearls of wisdom. So proud of you, and selfishly thankful you continue to make time to take us all on some of this journey with you. We really are out there thinking about you and wishing you well. Onward! ❤💪💪

So hecking proud of you! I've followed you for a very very long time, and this has been a profound and insane journey to watch. Way to go Grace's body! Way to go Grace!

[@ashleymarks3726]

congratulations on finishing chemo! I'm so happy for you! when I first heard you had cancer, I was devastated for you. my aunt and my mom both had it. my aunt had a double mastectomy, but my mom didn't have to hers removed. I'm so happy you're progressing along.

[@thirdplanetfromthesun]

Yay!!! 🎉 I’m so glad you’re onto the next adventure in this saga. Much love to you!

[@Rockas360]

I didnt know you had cancer. I'm rooting for you all the way Grace!

[@tempraarroyo5715]

I just wanted to say an overall thank you. You just speaking your truth is so refreshing. Thank you for sharing so much grace i know its not the easiest, but i know its worth listening too. Just thank you

[@beverlym5465]

Thank you dear Grace for sharing so much of yourself with us. I had breast cancer twice, 18 years apart, and experienced the whole chemo thing both times. I’m so happy that portion of your war against cancer is over, I remember that confusing melancholy feeling at the end of my treatments. Weird, huh? I saw this quote that I want to share with you and for you “You are Soft, fierce, and powerful. You’re a woman That’s your superpower” As always, stay sweet and take care. Luv ya ❤ B-

You are one of the most insightful human beings on the planet. Your journal contains some real magic... it might be things we've heard before, but you do have a gift for phrasing them in a way that resonates. Thank you for reminding us that we don't know what others are going through. We could all use some extra patience around this time of year. Here's to a restful recovery from round 6!

[@Random_Viewer978]

Congratulations Grace! You crushed it! It’s been so good to follow along on your journey so far. Thank you for your willingness to share not only your medical journey, but also your personal journey. I’m an extremely private person too and asking for help is nearly impossible, so I know how much you must have struggled just with that alone. I’m sending you all the good vibes and positive energy in the universe and can’t wait to see you back at full strength and glowing with health 💗

[@itsgrace]

cheers to getting the help we need!

[@silliepixie]

The advice to connect is something I really needed. Thank you for taking the time to point out what is really important while you are going through so much.

[@saori8328]

You've come such a long way! Thanks for the time and effort you take to share with us. Seeing you grow and hearing your insights have gotten lots of us through our own good and bad times. Wishing you all the best! You've got this!

[@margaretshannon36]

I truly thank you for being open and honest as much as you feel comfortable. Congrats on the last round of chemo you’re truly amazing! I’m not fighting cancer but when you talked about how the early days of not taking care of your body I think I needed to hear this from someone who’s also in their late 30’s. I thought it was just me in my depressive state of mine. Granted I know my parents “root” for me and try and help but it’s not the same then when you hear it from your piers. Honestly with my long ramble I wanted to thank you for this vlog

[@SusanBanth0ny]

Loving this series you're sharing with us. Your journey is uniquely yours and precious and I am so glad things are moving right along!

[@cplecker]

I just love you Grace. You brought every stage of your life (that you’ve shared with us) I can relate to all of it. I wish you the absolute best through the rest of this journey straight to the finish line. You’re amazing. Keep going. ❤

[@erinbertram]

I have been trying to figure out the words to say for weeks now to you, Grace. I’m sure the words will come but the “urge” is here to reach out and comment. So here i am - Thank you for posting your triumphs and pitfalls in the last few months. I am sure that these months have been the worst of your life, but seeing you keep going through the worst of it has impacted me in such a positive way. I appreciate you and I am glad you appreciate the triumph that you are ‘even you, left tit’. i’m rooting for you as i have been for years and wish nothing but the best in the rest of your journey. i hope you have a rewarding and healing holiday season, Grace. sending so much love and good vibes your way ❤️

[@anukoo87]

Such a great speech at the end, you have a lot to say and im glad you took the chance to say them! You rock! Edit. I actually went back and listened that again, such wise words and as said you have a lot great things to share and I hope you will continue to do so.

[@Mackerrooney]

I love this vlog. Thank you for taking us with you in this process. We're all rooting for you Grace

[@samarasanchez7732]

You did it! Congrats!! I started watching your chemo updates almost at the same time my mom started her chemo, sadly she lost the battle 2 weeks ago. I wish you the best recovery and hope it all turns out perfect. You deserve a long happy life.

[@crosby9232]

Helbig, loved watching your kindness, levity and bravado working hand-in-hand to get you through such harrowing times. Keep up the good work!

[@mione134]

Congratulations, Grace! You keep going and kicking ass! You are an inspiration to us all. Truly! God Bless you!

[@alsmirle]

i cried as you finished the last round, thinking about all my loved ones who have done this on top of having followed your journey. sending you massive love and support, very proud of you for getting through it -- and elliot, too! xo

[@ingvildtravel]

70 % of cancer is bad luck, some is genetic and very few cases is caused by lifestyle. This is not your fault. You did nothing do deserve this. I have worked as a cancer care nurse for 10 years and most of the psycological burden comes after you' re done with the treatment. It's very normal to have a feeling of emptyness. There is some serious mourning going on over the person you where before your illness, and many don't really know how you're supposed to live as a person who has had cancer. And there is no right answer. I am happy you are in therapy, because so many try to go through this on their own. I wish you all the best, I have been following you for years and years, and seeing you go through this breaks my heart, but I am also weirdly proud of you. You help so many people by being open and honest about your struggles. Thank you ❤

[@ellenblanchard8722]

Grace, I have been an oscillating fan since...2011? Life and timing distance me from your content, and I was distant this summer, but paid attention to your announcement that you had cancer because it was so close to Hank's. I have returned as a fan and am watching videos and voraciously listening to the podcast (and have always stayed in touch because I follow you and Mamrie on instagram) but I have so loved watching and listening to your journey and your willingness to be open to change and reflect on your own journey of feelings and whatnot. You are the perfect balance of "awkward older sister" and thoughtful insightful elder sibling that makes great points and gives meaningful advice!

[@jennb3112]

teared up listening to your list at the end. cliche maybe but we all need to be reminded of those things often. the way things have been in the world compassion and empathy are so needed! ❤

[@star0kat]

Thank you, Grace. I am someone who struggles with chronic issues, and I often feel like my body is trying to sabotage me, and I hate to ask for help. Your videos sharing your chemo journey have been a major help for me. I remember years ago a reaction video you did where you cried and then blamed it on the fact that you were making onion rings. That was something I found very relatable. I make jokes to relieve tension and hide my feelings. Seeing your growth into a person who can ask for help and be vulnerable is inspiring, and I hope I can follow in your footsteps (without the cancer, I hope).

[@katydid9]

Thank you for sharing your journey in all its colours and shades. Still sending positive vibes and love as you continue to navigate through life. 🫶

[@kellinomnom]

Worst day to go to Costco! Masochist! I loves you! Congrats on your final week of chemo! HUGS , You Dream. I totally agree that people sending you texts saying that they care are amazing.

[@erbhastings]

You, my dear, are kicking ass! Good job for doing the hard work and thanks for sharing. You're helping remind/encourage a 32 in New Mexico to keep doing the hard work. Cheers to the next phase 😊

[@agincourtdb]

Sending good thoughts your way. Incredible of you to share your fight online, especially with your signature sense of humor. I have no doubt you'll win this one.
