I don’t know who that is, but I’m glad to hear it! Fuck cancer!
Guess it’s time to check out a new YouTube channel…
It’s like if Bill Nye was your nerdy buddy instead of your cool professor. I’ve never met the dude but he’s on my list of people who don’t know they’re my friend.

Yay for parasocial relationships.
Is he the guy who used to do prank videos and on street interviews?
This is always great news! Cancer treatment is getting better every year but there’s still a long way to go. Here’s hoping he never has to go through it again. 💪
Go hank!
So glad, it was heartbreaking when I heard he had cancer, he seems like such a good person
Anyone amazed at how quickly this has occurred? I don’t follow his channel too closely, but I could have sworn he announced his cancer diagnosis only a few months ago (but I could totally be wrong).
So to go from finding out one has cancer, to then being cancer free in roughly 6 months or so is blowing my mind.
Depends on the type of cancer, but some of the new cancer drugs work incredibly fast. My brother got diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer two years ago but one of the new wonder drugs has mostly dealt with it. “Remission” can be a bit vague, though, and definitely doesn’t mean “cured” - my brother’s wonder drug is known to basically stop working after 2-4 years, at which point he’ll have to switch to a different treatment (and hope that it works as well).
Oh man, that’s great news!
Does that mean “cured” or NED (or whatever you want to call not going to die from this particular cancer) or does it mean he’s responding to treatment and the tumors are shrinking?
Remission is kind of a misunderstood term, people think they means it’s cured or whatever, but you can ever be cured from cancer. It just means it’s not actively killing you right now and tumors are shrinking. Tumors could even go away, but you’re not cured and the cancer can always come back, it can also come back in other places. But don’t get me wrong here, remission is definitely a good thing and it’s worth celebrating 100%
Somehow my brain turned remission into “The cancer was gone but it’s back now”. This is great then!
I seem to be in the minority or not knowing who this is, but I’ll have to check him out after this great news.
Him and his brother have a series of YouTube videos that cover science news and information that eventually became a larger network that covers history and all forms of educational videos. It’s all great stuff and usually around 10mins each!
Fuck yaaaaaa!!
