TotalBiscuit talks about living with stage-4 cancer

[@castin5244]

I just wanna say, About a year after I watched this podcast when it was aired, I noticed a persistent pain in my balls. I ignored it for a few months but then remembered this podcast. I remembered what John said about not waiting and how "fucking dying" is a lot worse than being embarrassed. So I decided to get it checked out. I got a couple ultrasounds and was pretty much instantly diagnosed with testicular cancer. A week after that I had surgery to have it removed. 6 Months later and I'm cancer free. I really do think it was John who kind of snapped me into reality and gave me the courage to get it looked at. John and this podcast might have seriously saved my life.

[@JackTorrance333]

Wow that's scary. It's sad he died of cancer. But he saved you in a way. Well and your doctor of course.

I remember watching this when it came out. Now I am diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, that is incurable. I'm 26 and supposed to die within a year. I can't believe how my life turned out and I feel like I can relate to so much of what he says.

[@jordanski5421]

Shit man I hope you beat it dispite the claim that it's incurable, I have a friend that was also diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the age of 15 he was only given until 17 maximum to live and he's been cancer free since his 18th birthday (now 20) I hope your story turns out more like my friends. We all have to deal with the cards we've been delt but I have a firm belief that we all have an extra ace hidden up our sleeves.

[@dysfunctionalpeach937]

Douglas Schultz People seem to forget that in 2013 he apologised for it and the person he told to "get cancer and die" to, actively told people to stop throwing that fact in his face, you must have had something very traumatic happen to you that makes you lash out at a dead man, may he rest in peace, also honestly anyone can rip a profile pic off of Google images so chances are you're a basement dweller yourself, but honestly who cares.

If anyone who says something silly like "get cancer and die" in anger deserves that fate themselves then I'd estimate at least half of the people who have ever played an online game deserve some combination of cancer, AIDS and death in a fire.

[@Skelldr]

John, the first video you made about the whole cancer ordeal made me go to the doctor and they discovered cancer at an early stage. Luckily I went through surgery and chemo and i am symptom free today. It was not the kind of cancer that you had but because of that video it was discovered early. RIP, you will be missed.

[@KCinSD84]

Did you just go for a normal routine checkup, or ask them to take blood? I'm thinking of doing this soon. Haven't seen a doc in a long time.

[@Skelldr]

DubQWST I went to my doctor because of a lump that was kind of numb. I ignored it for some time and thought it was nothing, but watching his video where he said ‘don’t be stupid get yourself checked’ i did just that. 3 days later they called me from the hospital and said that they suspected that the lump was cancerous. Turned out it was.

[@kellykieltyka1262]

Skelld I know this is an olf comment but as a cancer survivor myself I'm really happy to hear you were able to discover this early because of TB.

[@beyondbackwater4933]

Was it a pre cancerous mole? A lot of people have had those cut out including myself

[@Skelldr]

Kelly Kieltyka Yes, it’s kind of surreal. A guy I loved as a youtuber made me catch cancer at an early stage and it saved me. Then watching him die from it. So sad, and he will be missed. He literally saved my life he never got to know. And congratulations to us surviving one of the worst shit disease ever. Wish the support for survivors were better. I suck at recovering.

"chemotherapy is killing the patient and hoping the cancer dies faster" - TotalBiscuit amazing quote

[@isabelg.2450]

Francisco Gomez it's not a literal comment. It is saying chemo is extremely difficult, and can beat down on a cancer patient.

[@autumn4514]

Francisco Gomez It's hyperbole, but the sentiment is true. Like he explains, it's very difficult to eat. You get dehydrated very quickly and easily. You have no energy. Your immune system takes a hit every time, sometimes to the point where it's barely there. It's extremely straining on the patient.

[@Bankrotas]

I lost my grandfather to cancer this last year and he fought hard, lasted longer than they expected him to, and that enabled me to spend his last christmas with him. Every day after Christmas was a miracle, they said. I think the only reason I got this was because of my grandfather's similar tough spirit. These words will stay with me forever.

I already had half of my tongue taken out in surgery and I'm pretty far into radiation so I can no longer eat and rarely drink so everything has to go through a feeding tube.

My mother died of bone cancer a few hours before this was uploaded. 10 years ago she had breast cancer and beat it no problem, so I didn't really think much of it when she was diagnosed with bone cancer. I was blindly optimistic. She had mostly good days. The bad days pretty much came all at once. Even then, I was still optimistic.. She beat cancer once after all. I didn't really think about what to do once she died because of my blind optimism. My aunt who just happened to be visiting was scrambling to call family, getting paperwork done, figuring out if my mom is to be cremated or not and a bunch of other crap. It honestly hasn't hit me yet. I cried for a while and all, but my dumb ass is currently staying up really late like always watching youtube and playing video games. I even played PUBG with some friends and didn't tell them that my mother died. I don't even know why I'm typing this tbh, I'm not one to comment and I'm too tired for this lol.

I realize just how powerful having cancer can affect the person who has it and their families. I never would of thought that anyone in my family would ever get any sort of cancer but the most unfortunate thing had to happen this year. My sister got thyroid cancer this month and she has her surgery on the 31st. I remember her waking me up in the morning after she had come back from getting her results at the hospital and she just broke into tears when she mentioned she had cancer. I was lost for words and could do nothing but hug her and try to ease her down. I had just watched H3's podcast of erhan's parents and remember ethan's mom mentioning she had thyroid cancer when she was pregnant with him and his dad saying that thyroid cancer is perhaps the most "best" one you could have and it could be solved with surgery. So now I've been very nervous and worried this month hoping everything goes well. I'll do my best to keep my spirit up for my sister the same way ethan did for his mom!

I loved the cooptional podcast 😭 and saw the terraria too

[@Rashelleb23]

I am so used to hearing about cancer symptoms on a daily basis, as I’m an oncology nurse. But I must say, it’s inspiring and insightful hearing someone from what id consider my “outside life” talk about cancer this way. made think a lot differently about the symptoms/situations of the patients I see everyday. Your mind becomes “used to” hearing about anything if you hear it all the time, it’s normalized. But listening to him made me really feel for the hundreds of patients I care for every week- I really needed this reminder. Beautiful conversation, felt that I had to share. Papa bless to you all.

[@dimebagdarrell7735]

[@Oniphire]

Thank you for everything you do every time you go to work, Rashelle. Having worked in a hospital I've seen the things nurses have to do & endure on a regular basis which makes me grateful for every day you show up for work.

[@GreasemonkeyCGI]

Take care of yourself, yeah?

[@Rashelleb23]

dandelions it’s different for the different types of cancer- but often it’s pain in a localized area, new and heavy onset of headaches/fatigue/exhaustion, rapid weight loss or gain, change in vowel habits, discoloration of skin, itchiness or lumps of the breasts. It’s hard to generalize the symptoms because it’s unique person to person, but those are the most common objective ones.

[@kookiemony01]

Sometimes it's good to get an outside point of view, especially in the medical field. Burnout is a dangerous thing not just for yourself but for your patients. The good thing is that sometimes all it takes is one person to put everything back into perspective and remind you why you do what you do.

[@mattwilcks5156]

Davis Sutton Why do you find him inspiring then? I’m sure you, like the rest of us have had family members taken by cancer, were they inspiring?

[@davissutton9864]

Matt Wilcks many of them were, the way they never lost faith or just gave up. Is that not fair to say? I recently lost an uncle to ALS and he never gave up and that inspired me

[@mattwilcks5156]

Davis Sutton No that’s perfectly fair to say. I just can’t comprehend anybody giving in. It never crossed my mind that people think about giving in and need inspiration not too give in. Clearly they do and I believe I have learnt something today.

[@AdamCKA]

I'm willing to bet TB has saved multiple lives with his message of getting symptoms checked out, when he first got diagnosed he mentioned he waited too long. So when i got some blood in my stools he convinced me not to be embarrassed and get it checked as soon as possible, turns out i have ulcerative colitis but even that could have got a lot worse if i didn't heed the message of this once great man, RIP.

[@raclawww]

You bet right, it saved mine.

[@Anurahm_Kycor]

Bassmint "once great". My grandfather, before he died of agent orange due to his fighting in Vietnam used to say "think not of the loss, think of the things you have gained from the being, no loss, no matter how sad, can out weigh the memory of having, and that my boy, is immortality." I've gone to more funerals than years I've been alive and these words have always made me feel so much better.

[@beyondbackwater4933]

Can you tell me more about your experience and symptoms with ulcerative colitis?

[@Puca_Patchworks]

Could you also tell me more about Ulcerative Colitis? It was suggested to me that I had it several years ago after seeing a Gastrinterologist before he left that practice and i haven't had a GI visit since.

[@johnbeaker8721]

Completely agree, TB will never stop being great.

[@Memnon45]

Miss you loads and loads bro. Rest In Peace, there are literally millions of people who miss you so goddamn much. I've lost a few people close to me from cancer too and it is never something you can ever get used to nor be desensitized to. Some day we'll find a cure, for now we'll fondly remember those who were so tragically lost and remember the good times. I never knew you personally bro but you still made me laugh and smile even when I was feeling very low and I still watch your critiques to this day. You may be gone from this world but your legacy lives on strongly and vibrantly within those of us whom you have affected. Again, RIP John Peter Bain.

[@MASdestroyer]

I’m really glad this video and conversation has been put up etc. Since July 2016 I’ve had this very unknown illness called ME and it’s otherwise known as CFS. It’s no where near as bad as cancer but it is still absolutely awful and has changed my life. It does a lot of the things that TB explained with the exhaustion and brain fog and stuff. I haven’t been able to leave the house for over a year and haven’t been able to see my family and friends etc. And haven’t been able to do anything I used to do when I was better like video games or movies or sports etc. it’s so frustrating but hearing people talking about their situations like this, it not only shows you that everything and anything can be worse than it already is, but it also keeps you going. Thank you for this, it definitely helps hearing things like this to keep pushing on.

I was diagnosed with the same thing back in 2015 and was in a similar position to you. I was mostly stuck in the house or in bed for that year. For me it slowly got better through help with a specialist doctor and nowadays it's basically non existent. I know that I was quite lucky and the same situation may not be for everyone but slowly making progress in what I could do over weeks and months was great even if it was little things like being able to walk around the house and get my own food etc. I hope you can get better and be able to go back to doing everything you enjoyed doing before you were diagnosed even if it does take time.

[@MASdestroyer]

My Name Is Jeff Thanks for your comment, hearing stories like that make it a lot easier to project a light at the end of the tunnel. I am actually seeing a specialist doctor on Tuesday.

I'm currently on my last year on my master's degree in tumourbiology in Sweden, to become a cancer researcher. I know first hand how much a university/hospital/research company needs money ALL THE TIME for their research. When studying cancers you often perform genome sequencing, and it costs an absolute fortune. Even though technology is so damn good today and is developing, everyone on a research time has to have their income, and such a team is a lot of people with many specialities. My speciality is systembiology, so I would be the one to interpret results from a genome sequencing. Someone else takes samples, cultures, extracts DNA, someone does wet labs and tests on cells. If you can, please donate to cancer research, it might not seem like it, but it does a hell of a lot and we've come so far.

Look up the CoxCon incident if you are curious, or the time he stated a certain portion of his audience isn't welcome as they didn't vote for his favorite candidate in the 2016 election. He has also completely disabled commenting on his youtube channel. Like I said he's a great guy, he makes great content and presents very solid, logical reasoning. His lack of desire to engage in debate and develop a close knit community is the only element in his character that I simply can't get past to like him as a person, even if I do like his content.

Mr. Sandman He's had stage 4 for a long time. Keep your negativity to yourself. He even mentioned someone else that he knows.

[@megakirbyx]

Mr. Sandman that's not true at all. There's so many variables in stage 4 cancer, such as origin of the cancer, extent of the spread, location of the spread, accuracy of diagnosis, age of the patient, that it's impossible to make a blanket statement like "stage 4 is almost certain death". Plenty of people get diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and go on to live full lives

[@EminemLovesGrapes]

It's probably death for MOST people. It's just that TB has had a lot of luck both mentally and physically. Like he himself said he found a treatment that works for him, and he mentally stays in the fight through the help of his wife, his pets. And I don't think the average American especially without Obamacare could even afford the treatments. A lot of people who have stage-4 might not be so fortunate in that regard.

[@EmperorEmblem]

My grandfather passed away on New Year's Eve last year, after a 6 1/2 year long fight against what began as colon cancer. He outlived the predictions by over 3 years, and his love for his work is what kept him going for so long. 5 days after open-chest surgery he was already back in the office. Even during his last month, when he had gone completely delirious, and was barely eating, he was able to coherently talk about work and was still correcting coding errors and fixing chenical dosage calculations (he was the founder of a water and wastewater treatment company that also dealt with the electronic aspects of monitoring and maintenance). Seeing TB continue to fight and speak about his experience against cancer is really uplifting, it reminds me of just how full of life my grandfather was, even when he was diagnosed as terminal. I offer my best wishes to TB and anyone else living with cancer, and hope that they can survive it, or at least manage to prolong and enjoy their lives as much as possible.

[@williamdor8409]

As someone who as gone through cancer in the last two years, I can say that everything that TB says in this podcast is exactly spot on. What chemo does to you, how you always have to eat, not being able to do anything even watching netflix, and the terrifying fear of death. It is EXACTLY how he explains it. If you feel that something has been going on that is unusual with your body you have to consult immediatly. Don't wait, because this is what I did and it cost me my leg, I had to be amputated. And most importantly, you have to be thankful for what you have because no one knows who much time anyone has left. Keep fighting, we are all stronger than we think.
