Hey Matt you are a real person, not a fake like other people. So genuine and i'm so glad that you are fine. I never knew this about you, and I know my dad encountered a life threatening disease that happened to him and I saw what troubles he had to go through and it was tough on me. I just wanted to say i'm happy to know you as a friend, keep at the youtube buddy and don't stop like I did haha, I can't wait to see you at a million bro! Much love :)

[@orcaidhne]

Thank you for putting this story on you tube, I really enjoyed it! Keep on living your life Matt, it sounds hella rad!

[@4randosutube]

It never ceases to amaze me how many people bumping around in life have a story. And more often than the person's story is impactful, life altering for them and compelling for others.

[@CrimFerret]

I hadn't realized you'd had to deal with this. Thanks for putting this out there. The fact that you can talk about it and are obviously happy, not just in this video but in all of them might just save somebody's life.

[@Mystakaphoros]

Hey man, thanks for putting this up. Just got my diagnosis last week after having had the surgery, and it's good hearing from people who've made it through.

[@cbfall]

Thanks a lot,Matt for sharing this deep truthful story! Hope everything works out for you!

[@LostWithin]

cheers for talking about it :) think its great that youtubers sometimes talk about personal struggles. it helps a lot of people.

[@OfficialNinjaSkillz]

Thank god you made a video on this, I've heard you mention it several times over the years. Good thing you're okay.

[@WrecklessEating]

+OfficialNinjaSkillz I felt like an update for those that didn't know the previous video was a thing was needed.

[@907fishtrappa2]

glad I stumbled upon your channel man keep up the good work, you and The Reckless crew are awesom

[@BBPaws]

This was a really fascinating thing to hear since I've never known anyone with testicular cancer before, and I'm SO happy that you're here now and you made it through to tell the story! Thank goodness everything worked out okay, and it's really great for you to share your story with the world!

[@jesseboombatts]

+BBPaws It's a tough subject to talk about I'm sure... My friend was having abnormal bleeding and afraid to tell anyone including her parents, I talked her into going to the doctor and it turned out to be Ovarian cancer. Thanks me everyday for "saving" her life.

[@BBPaws]

jesseboombatts Thank goodness she listened to you!

[@WrecklessEating]

+jesseboombatts Always a good idea to just get checked. I always wanna know instead of just leaving it to chance.

[@jaynelson8450]

Glad you're okay. Very cool of you to open up and share!

[@Bleee1109]

Thanks for sharing man, I'm glad you were able to recover ! 😀

[@DubayBay]

Glad your ok broski keep doing your thing

[@nathanasher2510]

I think he is amazing for doing this I have been watching this channel for over a year and I just love getting a notification saying a new video is up but thank you wreckleeseating for making me laugh

[@Morbidlove21]

Thank you for sharing your story again. I feel like this one was much more detailed than in the Q&A or StorWe video the last one was in. Glad you're ok Matt!

[@TrippyFood]

Kudos to you for telling your story - you may have saved a life today!

[@TheMolt1]

Happy that your story could end so well! And to know that a lot of guys are gonna see this and get checked out is awesome. Thanks, dude. Killer 2 can't survive forever!

[@YouDontWannaFightMe]

It's been a while since I've watched videos from WE, but i chose to watch this because my college RA for next year had testicular cancer, and he is a survivor of 6 and a half years. He had a very aggressive form of it, but he caught it right away because it hurt pretty bad. He's very grateful that he's alive and now embraces the many different nicknames he gets because he only has one nut. I'm so glad you're cancer free and hope to watch as many WE vids as i did before I got so busy with college related things.

[@Xocheerleader17]

aww Matt you're absolutely amazing! I'm so very happy that you got through that horrible time and made it through and have moved on! you're an awesome person! much love and bless you! ❤️❤️

[@nikolaskatanjian4226]

Jesus man glad you are ok man!! Keep up the great videos👍

[@stevelubbehusen5842]

Matt, Thanks for the story. Great way to share....honesty...is humorous and genuine!! I plan on showing this to my boys in sophomore health classes. We split the class up and have the girls listen to a breast cancer survivor. They guys will enjoy the way you shared your story.

[@Tingfyhod]

I'm glad you made it through safely. The world wouldn't be the same without you, Matt.

[@ccf4life]

Great video Matt! Keep doing your thing homie

[@zylo_stryker7378]

glad to see ya still kicking Matt love ya

[@Andromeister27]

damn dude glad your ok now, what a insane story.

[@SSantmyre94]

I don't have cancer but if I did, you would be the coolest most relatable person to share the story with. A very comfortable personality for people going through what you did. Very brave matt!

[@gristlevonraben]

I'm glad you made it okay. You and your friends make my life interesting and fun too. Have a great year, Matt.

[@senorchiefaleaf]

Dude, Matt I think you're a great person. I've only known your show for a couple months but I can honestly say you're the sole reason I always come back and watch more. I think what you're doing is courageous and the fact that you spoke about such a sensitive subject with a smile on your face shows how tough your character is. I applaud you, admire you and I hope your road in life is better and cancer-free. Keep doing what you're doing man we love you

Nice one dude. Good that you can talk about it and even better you're OK.

[@neurocosm]

Wow, dude [I] had no idea you this happened to you. I've been only watching for a few years, but you're pretty jovial, but I guess that's in-built to you. Glad to know it was taken care of. Thanks for all the videos, too!!

[@shady039]

appreciate the story matt! love u

[@stevenesparza1122]

I was just diagnosed and it was like you are telling my exact story. You give me hope that it will be ok.

[@WrecklessEating]

Stay as positive as you can and fight the good fight. I hope everything works out for you

[@aegisreflector1239]

How are you doing now?

[@xraykitty]

Thanks for telling the story Matt. Glad to see everything worked out.

[@WrecklessEating]

+xraykitty :)

[@lordmememachine8490]

At least I know its treatable now. Thanks man, ive been so worried for the worst for the last couple days.

[@WrecklessEating]

Just listen to your doctors and make sure they stay on track time wise. Let me know if you ever have questions. facebook.com/WrecklessEating/

[@was920]

Love how positive your attitude is about it now, and how you actually understand depression. Most people just shrug it off like you said.

[@WrecklessEating]

+Eric Brooks I'm glad I did experience it even if only for 2 days. I can completely understand what people go through.

[@Denyyourselvestakeupyourcross]

My Husband Matthew had an ultrasound done this past week at it came up as Microlithasis. Minor case. So we don’t know what the next step is. Not a lot of research is out there on this. I know God has this. I know God had you. Thank you for sharing your story, and I’m glad right when he knew that their was some abnormal size and tenderness, he waited 3 days and we went in to have an ultrasound done. I’m so glad to hear that you recovered and you are on the up and up. God continue to bless you. Take care.

[@WrecklessEating]

Just keep up with your doctor and be annoying. They tend to slack sometimes. If you message and email them a lot it'll keep the process moving. :)

[@illbecomeafilmmaker9412]

hi what are your updates? did the microlithiasis develop into any cancers?

[@Ken_Domik]

Hey Matt, thanks for posting this!

I don't agree with you on a lot of issues, but I have a lot of respect for you after this video. You're a good dude with a good platform.

[@jordangomez4591]

Mad respect for you Matt!! Glad everything is ok (:

[@kylegarcia2454]

Took a ton of ball to make this video Matt! All jokes aside, I have major respect for you sharing your experience and I'm glad you had the outcome you did. Your outlook on the whole ordeal is something people suffering from these sort of diseases need, staying positive will save your life!

[@davef3826]

Glad you are doing okay and thank you for telling your story

[@1027corbie]

So happy you are okay Matt! And I'm so happy To have discovered wreckless eating. I stumbled on it a few years ago and have been watching everyday since! Keep up all the good work and I'll always be supporting!

[@WrecklessEating]

+Corbin Mickles :)

[@FeudalMoon]

Kinda unrelated, but I've been watching Wreckless Eating for like 4-5 years, ever since CutleryLover sent me over here, and it never fails to amaze me how positive and uplifting you can be in the darkest of times Matt. It's cool that were from the same area in SoCal too so there's that lol. Keep doing what you do man!

[@WrecklessEating]

+Nightpool Gotta try your best to keep yourself happy. Only got one life to live.

[@FeudalMoon]

+WrecklessEating Well said.

[@michaelwharton9490]

props to you man for coming on here and talkin to us about what you went through i cant even imagine goin through that and yes my left nut hurt during the video lol but anyway you and Pete are inspirational and make me proud to be subbed to your channels :)

[@Co0oLCat]

love you bro, just got surgery about 7 hours ago, watching this was nice.

[@WrecklessEating]

Hope you're holding up alright my friend

[@surferbrg]

Rather If I've seen the old video or not. Glad to at least hear this, also back in 2013 I lost my grandma due to cancer and didn't survive. It's amazing when detected early and glad lot of use are not alone. Also it was the same time I started watching Wreckless Eating for the 1st time. Amazing video and keep up with the funny content. If anything, this fan is a supporter of WE.

[@DEFxRECON]

Nice of you to expand on the StorWEs. Brings more into light.

[@liquidx084]

I didn't realize that StorWe and Random Ramblings were deleted. I really liked those videos. Also, good to hear that you're cancer free!

[@FoodReviewUK]

100% completely and utterly agree about your stance on humour. No subject is off limits IMO. I will laugh about anything.

[@oh033]

man I loved watching storwes and random ramblings

I'm glad your ok man,im going through pancreatic cancer myself and I'm glad you made it through brother

The Viper Of Death severe abdominal pain causing loss of breath and not being able to move from pain,it came on suddenly for me,but started with severe vomiting,inability to make bowel movements,severe weakness to name a few. i thought i was just sick and then after a week the pain came instantly and was rushed to hospital

[@Mujahid1412]

Hey Matt, thanks for talking about this. I'm currently a patient suffering from Testicular Pain Syndrome. It's basically the pain of torsion, without the cure for it. Not many people talk about the pain we suffer from, so thank you for opening up about this.

Matt, i am glad your at least your still alive. that's what matters most my friend. I always laugh at you when you eat spicy sauces. i am glad you are around to flail around. Thanks to the doctors that fixed ypu up buddy.

[@MizPersnicket]

Wow. Your mom sounds amazing! I live in Canada and I know people who wait 6 -18 months for biopsies and screening. It's amazing that you can get in so quickly!

[@WrecklessEating]

+MizPersnicket That's the nice thing about the US I think. I know you guys all get it for free if you like but I heard horror stories like that example of waiting months.

[@MizPersnicket]

+WrecklessEating we can have things fast but it means paying to go to a private clinic/hospital. This isn't covered by our extended medical/insurance. Our HC system is horrible. I'm glad your story had a happy ending!

[@dancallahan8953]

Love your attitude bro god bless❤️!

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Oh yeah, wow ---harsh! Thanks for sharing your experience ---major props for going through all that. Including the hallucinations. And for not letting it affect your reviews of chicken nuggets... ;)

[@LucasVanderBartlett]

Thank you Matt for telling your story, most of the time we are told 'check your self' but I have no idea what that means and I was never taught how to check properly, I am sure millions of men feel the exact same way. Although I think checking is the way forward, knowing the symptoms is just as important.

[@WrecklessEating]

+Lucas Vander-Bartlett I pretty much stand by if it makes you 2nd guess what you feel down there just get it checked :)

You might have saved my life, thank you 💕

God bless ya Matt. I have skin cancer and had a giant chunk taken out of my shoulder by waiting kinda like you did. I'm alright at the moment though. This was very cathartic to me besides the normal vomit worthy videos haha.

+Dave Jackson Hope you're ok dude ! Wich you luck !

[@davejackson5325]

+tre97able thanks to the two of you. It's a problem that many people have and don't have a way to speak out. Matt speaking out about it like this takes a ton of balls, (like furious Pete) to admit it without making it a sob story. More power to all of us here who can admit it and mind over matter.

[@AppRemb]

Awesome video man. I had cancer when I was younger myself and the main thing is getting to a doctor and not waiting to long. I was five and had a tumor the size of an apple next to my heart but they took it out and it's been gone ever since and I'm about to be 30 next week. They actually messed up when I was in an oxygen tent and my aunt who was a RN at that hospital came to see me and was like wtf. I almost died that night from improper treatment of an oxygen tent instead of the cancer. Things worked out though. I have had cancer so I got a pass on the jokes but I'm not going to. I'm more so glad you made this video that can reach so many people about it.

[@brianjackson3885]

I'm glad you had the ball to post this. But seriously thanks for posting this. I had a scare a few years ago I had a growth that felt like another ball growing inside my sack. I couldn't stand, sit or lay very long without it hurting. Went to the Dr and luckily it was just a infection. It was an inverted infected hair and was basically a giant pimple inside my sack they did have to cut it to drain it but I was so relieved it wasn' cancer.

[@WrecklessEating]

+TheInsanemonkeyboy Glad you are alright :)

[@XlonewolfreviewsX]

i know how it feels matt, i had a problem down there too. Thankfully it wasn't cancer or anything just inflamed from getting hit in the nuts at some point when i was a child. Thanks for sharing your story, helps remind me there are others that have the same kinda problem.
