Little story time here about cancer in my life. When I was 3 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Wilmes Tumor kidney cancer. Even my parents didn't believed I'd survive, well spoilers but I did, and I'm still here 16 years later. I had it for 5 years, from 3 years old to 8 years old. I spent most of my childhood in hospitals, I have scars from innumerable surgeries across my entire chest, right down the middle and I only have one kidney. I'm still super short (4'8 or about 1.4 meters for anyone not American) and small and probably always will be. Now, here's what that taught me. Obviously I had a much different experience than someone who has it as an adult with me being so young when I had it. It taught me to always treat everyone with love and respect, that life is beautiful. It's made me consider my place in the world several times, why I survived and others haven't, I still haven't figured that one out. Most importantly, it's given me motivation to not waste the opportunity that I had been given by surviving. I've made the most of every day in my 19 years of life, or at least, I've tried to and will continue to try. Cancer, as much as it's taken has also given me the gift of purpose, it's given me a reason to always continue forward to always persevere no matter what. I don't wish hardships such as this on anyone, not even my worst enemy but I do think hardships can give us opportunities to grow. I also think hardships in life are unavoidable no matter how we fight, most of the things that happen in our life aren't in our control and never will be. It's not about what happens, it's about how you react to it.

I was diagnosed 4 years ago with breast cancer, officially healed since 2,5 years, and I remember back then, your videos on your journey really helped me not feeling alone. And today is no exception. There's not a day since the day of my diagnosis that I didn't think about all these things, how afraid of the end I am, and what I could potentially leave behind, what I want to experience. At that time, I had a 2yo daughter, who was not aware of what was happening. Today, she's 6, and has a little sister who's soon going to turn 2. I call her my sunshine baby, the first positive thing that came into my life after this 1+ year of living in fear and incertainty. Last march, my grandpa received medical help to die, as he was very sick with cancer. Seeing how peaceful and accepting he was about his life ending was very eye opening. I hope that when my day comes, as far from today as possible, I will be at peace with it too. Stay well Jake. You have no idea how big of an impact you have on us. Big hug!

I remember way back in 2016 when you were giving updates as you went through treatment, and it happened to coincide with a time in my life where classes and commitments were getting out of control. I was struggling to keep up and was at my whit's end, but then you uploaded the video about finally being able to stand on your own two feet again and did a little jig to celebrate. Seeing you be really happy about that choked me up and got me to take a step back and just breathe and reflect for a minute. That moment we "shared" is vividly burned into my memory, and I always go back to it whenever things seem bleak. That's at least my personal answer for how people will remember you, and I'm sure others have their own stories as well. Thanks for being awesome :)

I cried everyday, i stop going to college, i thought about my dreams, everything i wanted to do in my life, like having children, marrying my girlfriend, get a degree, etc, and knowing that those things wouldn't happen just crushed me. I was miserable, i just couldn't try to not think about death, it was on my mind 24/7, i couldn't sleep, i couldn't do anything, i was just that, miserable. It really made me love life, really.

My own cancer experience was similar, and it did open my eyes to a few things. I think I'm more aware of my mortality, which means I'm less likely to take stupid risks but more likely to enjoy the things I do. I see how finite we all are, how small our lives are, and yet somehow still so much packed inside. There's a density to others we don't normally perceive. It's not just what someone else is going through that we don't know, it's how much they have in their minds that we can never know. Perceptions and thoughts and feelings, ideas and fantasies, beliefs and wisdom. When someone dies, there's entire worlds inside them that disappear forever. And the only way we have to discover those worlds, even a little bit, is words. So when someone talks, no matter what they talk about, listen. You're seeing a world inside them, and it shouldn't fall into darkness without being seen.

I'm 16 now and was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymophoblastic leukemia) around 3 1/2 years ago. I recently finished treatment and I completely relate to what you are saying. I had a bad habit that I developed of judging others and being more critical than I should have been, and getting cancer put those thoughts into perspective. When death is a very real possibility, you understand in a very concrete way just how minor all of your judgements, gripes, and ultimately problems are. I don't know about your experience, but it sort of felt like I was just floating through life with no solid purpose until I got diagnosed; that's when I really began to start appreciating the things around me. It is an awful experience, but it's also a blessing in a sort of twisted way.

Jake, you make perfect sense. I struggled with depression for a while and my parents always thought it was ridiculous. What did I have to be so upset about? There are people who have it WAY worse than I did that are doing just fine. Just because you find someones else's struggles or pain to be illogical to you makes it no less real to them. Even if you have had it rougher, tougher, been in a worse way, doesn't mean that what someone else is going through isn't the worst they've ever been. I've always wished people would stop caring about quantifying pain (physical or otherwise) and focus more on the fact that there IS pain to be dealt with. I'm glad you are still doing well.

I couldn't identify with Jake more, I've had my own run in with death in the case of suicide. I was in a situation where I felt hopeless, unloved and uncared for. I felt like there was no point of me living but then I picked up exactly the same thing Jake has. This feeling of wanting to help other people and to make a change in the world. To make a difference and make living better for other people. I also want to do my best to make sure people don't have to get to that point and to have the best life they can. I'd had my big shake like Jake has had with cancer in a different way. It's hard to put into words what I want to say. It's like if only I could copy and paste my mentatlity, thoughts and perspective on this into peoples brains that need it. You need to think about what is important and what you and others really value at the end of the day and are by yourself. That thing we value is belonging. We need to feel like someone out there cares for you. Now think about how you feel when and if you've felt like no one cares and you're just there, existing. Well everyone around you feels that to. It doesn't take much time out of your day to message your friends and ask how they're doing. You might think it's nothing but to soo many it makes their day. These things go a long way and once you realise that checking up on people and just showing that you're there, is one of the most important things you can do to help people have a better life. Hope anyone that reads this gets something from it. Hope you have a great day and all is well with you and your family!

@@mika-tu6ld Thanks man, it was a lack of information I wasn't told and me being uneducated on what I was dealing with. As well as people around me going through things and being distant. Left me feeling alone and unloved, now I know what happened and how easy it is to avoid. That's why I try my best to help people. I really appreciate your words! Hope you're doing well in these terrible time!

Jake, later in the video you talk about how there was more you wanted to do that kept you here and on track. You mention that you want to leave this world better then you when you came into it. I'd love to convery that I feel you're already achieving that goal. This video spoke to an emotion and feeling that Ive been feeling for several years now. Having recently graduated from college, Ive hit the metaphorical road block youre speaking of. Im working a standard support job, not making use of my art degree and my passion in my career goals has dropped to a new low. I find it hard to pick up the pen and start drawing every time I sit down to do so, my brain switches to apathy and before I know it, another weeks gone by and the gap between my desire to be a better artist and my actual actioning of that desire has widened. I can watch motivational videos, hear praise and advice from friends and family, but for some reason Im able to still switch off and continue to degrade, spending hours on youtube, games or other activities which bleep out the internal chatter which pushes me to continue struggling and getting better as an artist. I know it sounds farfetched, but this video, and the acknowledgement of that road block through your experience has really hit home to me in a way that nothing else so far has. I felt the need to write this and say thank you, thank you for being you, and for always being so open. In my eyes, you've already achieved your goal in my world, because you've made my life better then it was before you were in it.

A friend of the family had a heart attack a few years ago. What was amazing was how profound the change in his personality and behavior was. Before, he tended to be kind of cold and unforgiving. After the heart attack, he became much more agreeable and friendly to everyone. I remember my dad telling me that this sometimes happens after surviving something that was extremely life threatening. It puts things into perspective. You may have a epiphany of caring to much about the wrong things. Sometimes when I'm bored, or getting angry at someone or something insignificant, I pretent to zoom out like Google maps. Zoom out to the sky and look back down at myself in whatever situation. I get to almost a day dreamy state and snap back into my eyes looking out of my head. It calms me and I come to the realization that where I am, what I'm doing, and how I'm feeling is almost always inconsequential. In a good way. It's hard to explain. I wish more people would step back from the rat race and take a second to just enjoy the present moment. It's a beautiful thing. It shouldn't take a brush with death to enjoy life, no matter how good or bad your predicament is. I'm glad to see Jake has realized this in a way, even if it took a cancer to shake him. May he live a long cancer free life. No one deserves to have that happen to them, let alone multiple times.

What you described is the same feeling i had after my stepmom passed. She began having seizures and aneurysms quite often last summer, and we lost her in august. Afterwards, i didnt mourn that well. I was mostly fucked up with existential dread. Though tragic, the experience made me think ab who i was and how my family would feel if i was gone overnight. I started making sure my family and friends felt loved, started thinking more ab my future, ab kids, ab life as a whole. I realized that we’re all just trying to live and love with what little time we have, and that make me more compassionate and changed everything from my outward actions to my political views. I wish she was still here, but im also glad she isnt suffering anymore. Whats more is, even in death, she continued to teach me the value of people and of caring, though indirectly. I realized that if I leave half as good of an impression on the people in my life as she did mine, id be content with my legacy and somewhat at peace with passing. I just want people to see me as pleasant and loving

Hearing you talk about being more kind, letting things go more and generally just being more grateful, hit me. Although I wouldn’t say I’m a mean person. I actually help people all the time. I am over critical of dumb things though. Which means I’m suppressing their real personality whether I mean to or not and whether they allow me to or not. The point is still that we really should just generally be kind to people and allow everyone to be exactly who they want to be even if it’s slightly annoying or even cringe inducing. You remind me a lot of a friend of mine who was perfectly healthy. Then suddenly had kidney failure. He’s 27. It broke my heart and I noticed I was handling it much worse than him. He continued to be so grateful and happy for every day. If anything it drove him to do more of the stuff he loved. He’s getting married and having his first child. I’m just glad to have him in my life and to hear stories like this. They remind me just how lucky I am. And how easily I can become complacent and lazy if I don’t want my self. I like everyone else can be dismissive and mean too. I probably need to work on that the most. Your story is really great. I’m sorry you had to endure that and continue to worry every year leading up to your screening. I am glad you were able to make it such a positive though. Btw the bears is great man. I like it on you.

I think I understand. I went (and probably am still going) through a lot of overthinking and self-loathing. Death was always at the back of my mind. What keeps me from doing "it" is the thought that, "If I go, what would I be remembered for? Will I just be remembered for all the 'achievements' I've gathered through the years (which I think are essentially useless)? Will I just be a passing memory to others?" I wanted to be loved and appreciated. I want to have a significant impact on other people. One of the things I've thought about doing is exactly what Jake said: Be a better person. Be more understanding. And I haven't been successful at it so far. I still feel like I've been very helpful to people so far in my life, that they still owe me. I guess I'm still just not motivated enough. After all, death still seems like the better choice.

I was also diagnosed with cancer in late 2015. It was the beginning of my senior year, and I feel the same way about having it. It sucked, for sure, but now looking back, I'm glad for the opportunities it gave me. I'm glad that it forced me to take a hard look at my life and how I've treated others. Thanks for this video, Jake.

Not sure why but the algorithm kept suggesting I watch this. Thanks for sharing your story and the lessons you learned. Cancer helped me appreciate how much my family cares about my since everyone was happy to drive me to and from the cancer centre and even sit with me for hours while I had my chemo. That was four years ago for me too. It is always great to turn our hard times into encouragement for others. :D
