The Weirdest Post-Chemo Symptoms

Hank realizing and explaining that he's still alive despite accidentally implying otherwise is the most Green brothers reaction I've ever seen

Hank being O negative is just so funny, because the universe said "you are going to be the most giving person in the world from your blood to your socks to your coffee to your soap"

The sheer number of camera angles implies quite the workout from moving the tripod around

I was just talking about this with one of the other patients at the cancer center I go to. My hair grew back in curly. She went through chemo twice. The first time her hair grew back in darker. The second time her hair grew back in red and curly. Another patient had never had freckles before and developed freckles after chemo. It’s crazy how much it affects every small part of your body.

Hank just beginning to learn that anxiety is a stacking debuff is so funny to me considering John’s relationship with anxiety.

I didn't realise "asking teen questions as a 43 year old" was something cancer patients and trans people had in common

This video truly felt like stepping into someone else’s brain for 7 minutes and 4 seconds and it was absolutely fascinating- I think the editing and camera shots really created quite the atmosphere to fit the rambling and contemplating. I enjoyed living in your brain for a bit Hank, even if it’s not always the most fun place for you to be it’s certainly relatable because my brain isn’t always fun either.

I relate a lot to the "I don’t have it bad enough to deserve help, compassion, attention" guilt. For me, it's extremely related to my OCD subtypes. You probably don’t have OCD, but health anxiety and severe guilt can easily become OCD. So please be careful and nip it in the bud if you start to develop OCD symptoms

The re-rolling hair thing is *fascinating*. Like turning them on and off randomizes the initial state/balance the system struck when you were first growing hair. Also in my experience, anxiety is like gravity. It can only be additive. Health anxiety just makes work anxiety worse and vice versa. Glad you're feeling better and enjoying your new beard!

Okay, both John and Hank doing these wandering-around hold-the-mic stream of consciousness what-4-minute-rule videos is giving me SO MUCH LIFE

lost my mom five years ago from cancer and it still hurts like hell, but watching you go into remission and have such an interesting perspective on it all has been really nice. yes, there's a lot of grief in these things, but there's also a lot of love, no matter if you lose someone or not, and i think that's really powerful.

Love this style of filming. Perfectly reflects the feeling of having a scattered brain while rambling to myself. Much love, Hank. :)

This reminds me of something that Terry Pratchett wrote, “No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.”

Love that Hank’s dipping in again on The Format™️

Hi Hank, Hank here. I don't comment that often but your thoughts on survivor's guilt struck me. I truly hope that the survivor's guilt fades away for you. Your enthusiasm and consistency over the past few months dealing with this has been a rollercoaster for all of us. You're good people. I really wanna thank you both for your candor and love. THANK YOU

I loved dropping the guilt from not donating all the time. I am also O- and an added guilt bonus from having "baby blood". Since I never had a specific virus that is dangerous for babies and immuno compromised, they would always call me for a donation in emergency situations. I always did my best and am so relieved to no longer feel that guilt.

Honestly, the “teen boy questions” and checking out other dudes’ beards is sooo relatable as a trans guy in his 20s 😂

I remember a lady growing up saying that she’d always wanted to have curly hair and after she got cancer it grew back curly, so for her it was like “Wish granted! But at what cost?”

"The things we make aren't really about us." Wow, this video hit me hard. A dear relative of mine lost his battle with mental illness just two weeks ago now, and he was a prolific maker of videos and music that he shared via TikTok, Youtube, and other places. I keep going back to watch and listen to his creations because it's a part of him that I can take with me into the future. I see others who enjoyed what he created doing the same. It's become very clear to me that what we put out into the world matters, even when we're no longer here. Thank you, Hank, for continuing to share this process with us. Wishing you continued good health news and for an exciting new chapter of facial hair growth :)

Also there is no such thing as not getting hurt enough by cancer. Having known people who died and are dying of it, I am so grateful you are here with us and so sorry for the pain and anxiety you went through.
