The Start of My Journey with Cancer

[@gabrielblack]

Thank. you everyone for all of the support on here! I'm working to respond to everyone! I have a lot more updates on my tik Tok and instagram as its hard to hit all of these lol but I'll keep trying to share everything I can on KZbin also! Love you guys so much the support is keeping me going. @sbgabriel black on all my other socials. 🙏📿

[@rebel4466]

Came here rather randomly, but my advice would be to keep a positive mindset. Had a friend going through chemo and all that stuff recently and approaching it with positivity and maybe some dark humor seems to make it easier. Best of luck to you.

2017 Christmas Day my dad found out he had stage four lung cancer, he made it to July 2018, he took his last breathe in my arms, God bless you bro. We are praying for you.

[@hemacdonald400]

I recall a newscaster in Canada being diagnosed with a rare cancer. I will never forget what her response was….”we are all mortal, I just have a bit more information about my mortality”. This was a least 10 year ago and she is living her life with that information still tucked away in her mind. Your unique life will continue on, ignore the stats and live your life every day, you will survive.

[@gabrielblack]

This is very motivating thank you so much!

I'm a stranger to you, but you're not a stranger to me. I love your music, your vibe, and you! I have faith that you will come through this stronger than before! What I know today to be true is... the human body is an incredible machine, we are capable of miraculous things! Stay strong, stay positive! and just know, there are strangers all around the world cheering for you!!

I had cancer a few years ago. You wouldn’t be human if you were not scared in this situation. Right now I have so many friends with cancer, all ages, it is driving me crazy. Don’t give up on your dreams, keep doing what you need to do. ❤

[@gabrielblack]

This means a lot thank you 🙏

[@MrJonroock]

I’m praying for you Gabriel. I went through a scary time with prostate cancer, and it scared me. It will be OK. Just live all you can now. I believe when this life is over, we just transition. It’s inevitable. Some get to have all the answers sooner than others. When I think about it like this, I’m not afraid of death. There are so many people family and friends that were gone before me. I think it’ll be one big party when I get up there.

I firmly believe in diet, my father is stage 4 Pancreatic C and we changed his diet drastically. Everything you mentioned but kiwi's and broccoli are staples in his diet. He is into it one year now and his markers are good. He is able to continue with chemo and I know for him his diet is why he has survived so far. Thank you for sharing, will follow your journey. Blessings to you and your mom.🙏🙏🙏 Happy Thanksgiving!

[@siobhanrose1680]

I don’t know you Jacob, I’ve never heard your music, I’ve never seen your socials. Somehow you appeared on my feed, and I watched you speak so eloquently, with such a brave demeanour. I can’t begin to imagine how much you must be reeling. How the fear that creeps in, must feel. I am so sorry you have been thrown such a horrible curve ball in your life. I am not a religious person, but honestly, I will pray for your healing. I wish you well on this journey, I hope it is smooth, and you do not suffer too much through this intense treatment you are about to face. You are a warrior, I can see it instantly. Be well Jacob. All my love x

[@gabrielblack]

Thank you so much for those kind words. Glad you were able to find me. I hope my music can move people in mine and other situations.

[@caratownsend1166]

Fuck, man. I hope you beat the odds and fuck this cancer up. Good luck with the chemo. I'd love to hear this project but please don't put yourself through too much in order to release it when things can be hard enough. You're so strong, and being scared doesn't make you any less strong. ❤️ Hope your mum is doing well too.❤️

[@celinaarroyo3776]

Sending so much love and support to you and your family! You are amazing and will get through this. ❤❤❤❤

[@claybutler]

I'm a little bit further along with you. I too have a very rare cancer, but mine is incurable. However my chance of living 3 to 5 years is higher than yours. So treatments are really just there too suppress the tumor load as long as possible. It's rough. But it sounds like you're doing the right things mentally. I think about my mortality daily. I have to make peace with it so I can release myself, so I can live in the present to the best of my ability. But boy, is it a time and energy suck. Just managing a rare cancer is a part-time job in itself. It chews up so much bandwidth, and it can just leave you tired at the end of the day. Not so much physically but mentally. You can only handle so many consultations, appointments, scans and dealing with insurance before you're just done for the day. Keep on keepin' on. You're doing a really good job of getting a handle on your disease and coping with this news.

[@BigWrangler]

Hang in there, man. Thats rough. Sorry you’re going through this. Hope you get better

So sorry for your predicament right now, it’s a difficult time for you but be positive if you can and as long as you have the will to live you will survive. My husband had cancer 5 times, some so bad it’s a miracle his still alive, includes testicular, cancer in the spine, colon cancer and bone cancer, it’s a long road but stay positive. Pleased you going the medical route rather than the religious one. Don’t give up the chemo as much as it’s debilitating at times, it does help. All the very best and sorry l won’t be praying for you as prey doesn’t work.

Hi my son who is 29 but at 28 had start having problems with his prostate and what the symptoms you spoke about with the hard to pee and peeing takes a long time and little stream. But no pain in his penis or balls. They did it surgery and said he had an infection and a very enlarged prostate but zero cancer. It's been a year on antibiotics and a certain prescription that helps him pee but now he is having pain on his side and now I will be taking him into the emergency room tomorrow or Friday I'm not sure if it's part of his enlarged prostate stuff or his appendix o Dr nothing but I won't sit around and do nothing while it gets worse. So I will pray for you to be healed through the team of doctors you will be having while you do your treatments. I've never heard your music so I'll start and go down the list of your videos and check them out. I really hope you kick cancers butt. Take care and get rest. I had a rare form of cancer for women in 2014 called gastrointestinal stromal tumor they found it while I had surgery to remove 85% of my stomach and some of my intestines for a condition I have called gastroparesis meaning that my stomach and intestines are paralyzed I also have a feeding tube. So for years I've had either a gj tube of like now a NJ tube in my nose. You might also need one. They are very little pain. At the time of surgery we had no idea I had cancer so on October 22 2014 I had it found and removed and no other treatment was necessary. My type of cancer is primarily found in white men in there 50's and 60's I was 42 and NOT male. So please don't give up because of the stats you can beat this too. Chemo is hard but you are tough. You can beat this you have many people in your corner. Good luck and pray and ask God to heal you plead the blood of Jesus on your life. You can do all things through Jesus Christ!!!!! God bless and keep us updated❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

The thing about diet, cancer cells are animals cells that enjoy the same foods the healthy cells like to eat, that's why the Physician said diet doesn't make any difference. However, there is a least one brain cancer patient I know of who seems to have found success in staying alive by going on a very restrictive diet, one that was intended as a protocol for hard to treat epilepsy patients.

However, I have seen other cancer vloggers before and I've always wondered if in their valuable time they should be worried about making videos for their new fanbase. If it makes you feel better and more connected then by all means keep going! But anyway, regardless of all of that let's get a complete 100% recovery 💪

I'm sorry for your bad news. Try to stay positive, eat lots of gut friendly foods and lots of variety in your vegetables, 30 different plant based foods every week. Gradually up your fiber content to over 50g a day. Doctors say this kind of thing doesn't help but doctors go by guidelines that are agreed upon in meetings, often they are 10 years behind the latest studies. Nobody is saying this will cure you but it's better than doing nothing and you will want to do everything you can, and for heavens sake don't drink or smoke. All the best for your coming battle against cancer and I hope with all my heart that you survive and live a long, happy life.
