So, I've got cancer

Reply with some good movie and media recommendations here. NO BUMMERS. Hank, as someone who found the film Big Bird Comes Home a little emotionally overwhelming (because Big Bird leaves home and gets very scared before, get this, eventually coming home again), here are my recommendations: 1. All nine Fast and Furious movies in order (there are bummers but the bummers happen alongside, like, cars in space, so they do not feel like huge bummers) 2. Harvey (zero bummers) 3. Happy Gilmore (lowest stakes of any film ever made) I love you. We all love you. You've got this. -John

Hank, I can't stress enough that you have to repress the urge to start a Totally Legal Chemistry business during this difficult time.

Only Hank Green could break the news while educating about cancer so well

For everyone watching now, don’t worry! He’s now off of chemo and in remission!

I was just diagnosed with cancer today. This legitimately helped me calm down and stop spiraling... Thank you. I'm so scared,

"I wanna be fun-goofy-science guy. Not, like, struggling-with-anxiety-cancer guy." Hank, we are capable of imagining you complexly. :)

You got this!!

My ex-wife had Hodgkins Lymphoma right after she gave birth to our second child. She was diagnosed at a very late stage - she was at stage 4a - and they put her on chemo. After half a year of chemo, she hadn't gotten any worse but she hadn't gotten any better either. The issue was 3 fold: She often felt physical pain; she didn't have much of an appetite and wasn't eating; and she was having trouble sleeping. That's when a friend introduced her to medical cannabis and it literally saved her life. Suddenly any pains she felt seemed tolerable; she felt hungry again; and she could sleep at night. After a year, she was in remission. That was 22 years ago and she's still alive and well.

To anyone just seeing thus video now, his cancer is now in remission

I'm a doctor and I'm gonna say something Hank Green would say. My heart sank when the ultrasound tech said lymphoma but when you further clarified Hodgkin's lymphoma, I let out a loud sigh of relief. You got this, Hank. Get well soon. Take all the break that you need. We all love you, Hank.

When I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 1998, the doctor said "The bad news is you have cancer, the good news is we can cure this one." Good Luck Hank! We love you and all that you do!

No worries Hank you will always be three things for me personally: 1. That one science guy I watched as a kid who made me really into science and is the reason I am on my way to being an underpaid Physics Teacher 2. The author of a book series I enjoyed tremendously through audible, that made me so happy for so many reasons, that I didn't even know was authored by that one guy who taught me science as a kid till after I had completed both books (they really are incredible journeys to be apart of a whole experience that I am just in love with and they have so much social commentary that I really appreciate and I hold those flawed mf characters to my hearts) 3. The funny guy who really likes Canadian geese for some reason and who the internet has deemed hilariously the guardian of the grass (and your "straight I mean ehh" moment was just golden for me) Cancer can never reach the level that these other identities are on, I mean like it goes to me with like the fact that John Green is your brother, is it true yah, does it probably affect your life massively yah, does it have anything to do with the way my brain compartmentalizes you, absolutely not, I have way too much autism for that.

I'm a 14 year Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor. Gone through Chemo and Autologous Stem Cell transplant. It was a long year at the time. I had a fairly high stress technical job at the time. The job helped me move the focus from the sickness and keep me going day-to-day without falling into depression, but helped keep me on task for both work and my medical efforts. You got this.

Love you Hank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are a boon to this world Hank and we're all pulling for you

I’m 19 and I just got diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma yesterday, thanks so much for your video it’s been a rough couple weeks but it’s been a big help watching someone else go through the process at the same time, thanks Hank :)

This is strangely the most enlightening, the deepest, bravest, vulnerable and the most light hearted explanation of a cancer diagnosis and its consequences. I wish you a fast recovery and a strong health!

I am an oncology nurse. If I ever got you as a patient, I would first have to personally thank you for getting me through nursing school. Think about that. How many people in the healthcare system have had their lives changed because of you? I'm sure many of the techs, nurses, etc that treat you have seen your videos in school if they are young. Best wishes and get well soon!!!

Here for you through all of this. We love you Hank

I've been diagnosed with brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme) in July when I was taken to the ER in critical condition. I was mostly out of it and I only remember a few fragments of that day, a few seconds each. I had my emergency surgery that same night, so I really never got a chance to actually process it. I woke up after surgery before the thought of "I have a brain tumor" could even sink in. Now, watching this video, I see so much of my own feelings in you. Especially when you said "I'm OK but I'm not OK", that was just such a perfect summary of how I felt, and to a small degree, still feel. It really helps me to see someone else talking about going through something similar. Thank you for sharing! P.s.: My surgery went really well, I've completed radio and most of chemo. Chances are everything is good. :)
