hahahaha
@@itsgraceCZcams offered to “translate this to English” for me lol
I picture you holding Pom Poms! =)
Going through breast cancer at the same time as you has made me feel a lot better. I appreciate you posting your journey, it can feel weird with how often I’m going to the hospital and I haven’t been working for months but your positivity makes me just feel like I’m not alone. We got this girl!
it's all very weird but yes we do got this!
Ugh I'm so sorry. Hope you are feeling well
Well said fellow warrior! It can be so isolating. You’re not alone! I’m NED as of March, but it’s been a hell of a year. It’s so hard and no one else gets it. Def not alone, girl. Sending love!
@@itsgrace your doing well considering the circumstances, it could be really easy to be in an awful mood, and you seem to be staying positive and I know we aren’t seeing your whole life but what we are seeing your handling it very well, should be proud.
I'll be praying for you, too.
I'm so glad you mentioned ADVOCATING for yourself. This is especially important for women. I've seen doctors literally ignore my wife's statements unless I echoed them. Until they start training doctors better, please, always speak up!
yes!
I’ve worked in a hospital for over a decade and couldn’t agree more…there’s some great doctors out there…and some that just suck, and you really have to figure out how to stand up for yourself and ask for what you need
I have a progressive disorder so the older I get the more drs offices/hospital rooms I end up seeing. I was so used to being ignored and treated poorly until my mother in law-who works at a dr office- started coming with me while wearing her scrubs 😂 am I a grown adult going to see drs with a parent? Yep! But do they give SO MUCH MORE information and treat me more seriously now that they see another medical staff member in the room? YEP!! 🤣
@@hannahbarrett1221 Thanks for sharing that, Hannah! I bet people could order a set of scrubs off Amazon. I mean, I don't think it's illegal to wear them - Just allow people to assume things. I'm glad your MIL is there for you!
I just finished chemo round 6 of 12 for my colorectal cancer. Making the nurses laugh is my GOAL. I’m glad I’m not alone there lol. Being a delight to others is my motto! ❤
LOVE that motto. Wishing you the best!!
yesss!
Wishing you health and healing Carrie!
Yes! More than half way there!! Amazing! You can do this! My mom's motto was "just because I'm having a shit day, doesn't mean I have the right to make your day shit too, so I'll be nice to you. Even if it's hard"😂
@@LostEveryMarble♥ ♥
Been watching you for YEARS and am so proud of the person you’ve become. We’re all rooting for you grace ❤️
We love you grace we are rooting for you through this fight crush this fucker #fuckcancer kick cancers ass
echoing this
Same!! All rooting for you 🙏♥️

NO ONE warned me about the fatigue. I was prepared for nausea, throwing up, pooping, hair loss. The fatigue was the worst by far.
One thing I learned from my doctor, not sure if others know, so worth sharing. If your mother had it, the recommend you get your first mammogram at the age 10 years before your mom was diagnosed (if it’s before the recommended age to start) . For example, if your mom was diagnosed at 40, you should get your mammogram at 30.
Great tip!
She manages to make this process look normal and not terrifying 💕
Agree!
💯%!
I am a triple negative breast cancer survivor. I’m 2 yrs cancer free. I just wanted to say thank you for using your platform to tell your story! You are brave and strong and you will beat cancers ass! You are my triple positive to my triple negative 💜
My mom had that type of cancer, she passed away last year. I miss her every single day. But it made me so happy To hear that there is people like you that recovered. Sending you hugs
Kudos to you ❤
@@MarmotayTaiwan I’m so sorry for your loss. May she rest in power ❤️
I’m a month younger than you and I’m getting my first mammogram tomorrow morning! I found something that I want to get checked, and I got in almost right away. Thank you for sharing this process with us ❤
so glad you're getting checked!
Grace is such a Libra, lol. (I'm the same way.) Could be going through absolute hell and crying alone in the bathroom, but still gotta make that good impression and put on a pleasant countenance or at least charm in public! 😂 Grace, you are doing so well, you got this!
you get it!
“I wanna be where the people are, but there’s no fuckin’ way I can be where the people are” absolutely killed me. I’m glad you’re taking care of you and your little humour light ball of a soul 💛.
As a chemo patient this kills me i had floor seats to Taylor swift and couldn’t go because it was a day before chemo 😂😢
I'm so happy grace FINALLY showed the biore strip thing. It's been years since she mentioned it on tmgw and I've always tried to imagine what that looked like. So glad to put that one to rest. Thank you
once you see it you can't unsee it
@@itsgrace first off I'm gonna throw up at the fact that you replied to me. Holy cow this give me only one chance to say that you and Mamrie are the main influence of the podcast I host with my bestie called Chill Vibes Only. Now if somehow you actually read that ad I also wanted to say it gave "I just found out in a production of Cats and I have to make my own costume"
Just in case nobody has told you... You are doing a great job.
thank you!!
The fact that Nathan sent you a Disney Adult starter pack is adorable. Thank you for showing us part of your journey in showing cancer who is the real boss. Slay, Queen, Slay.
My mom just got diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Thank you for sharing your journey. It is helping me a lot.
Fellow fatigue girlie stuck in the bed today super proud of you for brushing your hair and teeth and washing your face! Also, fellow Disney adult. There is a way to be one without being the one of lore. Lots of love!
enjoy that bed today!
I know that feeling. Not a cancer patient just dealing with chronic fatigue.
Say it with me class: “I need it notated in my medical record that you’re refusing to run tests due to my age/gender/diagnosis.”
Doctors will suddenly take you much more seriously
Honestly as a chronically ill girly, seeing you hype yourself up. Being nervous but telling yourself your brave. Is so validating and soothing. Thank you for sharing this journey. As someone who respects you so much, it really is affecting me positively.
“I wanna be where the people are” & “there is no f*cking way I can be where the people are” LOL so relatable, even without poison in my veins. It sounds like it should be a Tik Tok sound 😂
To Grace and all of the other people in these comments who are fighting cancer, I am proud of you. I am in awe of you. You are going to win! ❤
Well said!
I just found Grace's videos and am currently fighting stage 3 breast cancer. Your comment put a smile on my face. Thank you.
I haven't watched you in years. I had no idea you were going through this! I'm praying for your good health and God's mercy and GRACE, Grace! 🙏
Been watching you long enough that it feels like we’re friends irl, like we’ve been figuring out life together. It’s an honor to get to walk through this with you, too. Here for the laughs, wherever they come. Love you, Grace!
You're such a trooper Grace. I just want to crawl through the screen and pat you on the head and tell you I'm proud of you. You're a real life superhero!
I had to have surgery a couple of times this summer (I'm totally fine, just a weird random thing), and I NEEDED to be delightful to the nurses. My husband said I needed to win surgery. And I did win surgery. The nurses LOVED me. So, you go win chemo girl!
i understand this deeply lol
felt this deeply, nurses would come in my room to hide and i felt so amazing about that😭
I’ve been a full time patient for the last 3 years and the way you summed up how day to day feels in treatment/being in the healthcare system really made me feel seen. Your nurses are lucky to have you in their care and you are DOIN THE THING BABYYYYY🥹🌼🩵
i see you
I've never had cancer, but I've had chronic illness and autoimmune disorders since I was 3. Trying to describe fatigue to people who have never truly experienced it is impossible. So sorry you're on this journey, but you're such a light. I know you're going to crush it. Love how you're setting small goals. Getting to the couch on bad fatigue days is such a mountain, but you're doing it! Sending you light and love every day, Grace! I've always loved watching you. You've always been amazing company on my own illness journey.
small goals are huge!
@@itsgraceI second all of this!! I also have several chronic illnesses and have always found any Grace content to be such a light for me in dark times! ❤
Echoing this with two autoimmune diseases. It’s exhausted to exist. 🩷
@@AndreaLogan Sometimes it is, but there are so many beautiful things and people in this world. :)
I’m in the same boat as you and you’re so right! It’s honestly impossible trying to explain it. I hope you have some good days coming your way where you feel well and happy! ☺️
My mum always talked about her mammograms' and how much she hated them. I feel like I know way too much about them. Great to see your editing style in 2023 and how it's evolved. Great information, self advocacy is incredibly important especially now and love the video!
You're the best of us, Grace. Keep going!
I was completely disconnected to Grace for years, she just kinda fell off my radar for a while. Since seeing a video on tiktok of her updating people with the diagnosis I have been checking in regularly and I have to say, I absolutely missed you Grace. I have needed your mildly chaotic anxious energy for such a long time. You won't be dropping off my radar again any time soon.
hahahah I DIED at the reenactment of Marie and Grace together.
Actually checked my breast whilst watching this, thank you for the reminder Grace ❤
nice!
You saying “goober” while wearing an orange hoodie made me want circus peanut candy so insanely bad. The brain is a mysterious place. Thanks for sharing your journey 🥰
I'm only 31 but I get mammograms every 6 months now because I'm considered high risk after my mom, grandma and 2 aunts were all diagnosed (they all beat it - yay!) It was way less awkward and less painful than I thought it would be! and like you said the peace of mind it gives me is so worth it. For anyone nervous about getting one or talking to your doctor about it, I promise you don't have to be! There is nothing more important than being proactive about your health.
I'm so glad you've felt comfortable sharing your journey and being so open about everything Grace. It's going to help so many people. Sending you all the love - you got this!
exactly this!!
love you Grace. been watching for years, met you on your book signing tour, and happy to see your positivity throughout this process. I can only imagine how you're feeling. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for keeping us updated and sharing with us Grace. We love you
A Grace vlog makes a Monday morning so much better! Thanks for taking us on even just a small part of this journey with you.
What a sweet, wonderful, inspiring and ✨ authentic ✨ vlog! Your positive attitude (even though I’m sure there are times where it’s different and that’s okay!!!) through all of this is amazing! You’ve got this, you’re kicking cancer’s butt so freaking hard ❤
Your energy is so contagious, thanks for being your delightful self
I'm really glad I can help you get through a hard time. You've helped me so much for over a decade, even though you never knew. Love you!
Love you Grace! Still cracking us up through tough times, that’s our girl💖💪🏽
i loved this vlog!!!! i didn’t realized how much i missed this form of content, you’re really good at it! if you’re ever creatively strapped, this was so fun to watch and i hope it was fun to make too :)
I just love you so much. Your positivity and humor is so comforting. I hope you know you’re a rockstar! You are going to kick this cancers ass
Proud of you Grace thank you for sharing your journey with us, love you
My dad is going through a cancer diagnosis, we haven’t started treatment yet, but it is so good to watch your videos, Grace! I don’t know why, but seeing you share your story just somehow helps settle nerves. So thank you for choosing to share you story and making the effort to make videos for us.
You are doing so great! And I really like how you set your own bars, that’s the way to go!
Beating that thing one day at a time!
I hope we will also face it with same grace and force that you do! (No pun intended, by the way😄)
Your positivity and optimism through this process are so inspiring. I am helping my mom navigate her cancer diagnosis and it can be so hard. I admire your attitude through this so much ❤
I really appreciate you putting yourself out there like this, telling us your story as you experience it. I’m sure it’s demystifying cancer for a lot of people. Who may feel less overwhelmed seeking help for symptoms or supporting a loved one. Wish you all the love ✌️
Grace I’ve been a fan/follower since the end days of daily grace and you three were filming camp takota. I was a fresh baby just out of college. I’m in my early 30s now, married, and the mom of a toddler. Anyway I feel like I grew up (in adulthood) with/just behind you and it’s been so cool watching you grow and change and find your niche.
All that to say I hope you kick this cancer in the bootyhole and take no prisoners. You’ve got this!
Long time fan, thank you for sharing this journey. You are saving lives.
You got this Grace! Love the honesty and openness of you sharing your story. It’s so interesting to see what goes on during chemo and how it makes you feel.
Love you, Grace! Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I'm so happy to see you are powering through this journey.
Much love, hope you get better soon. You've been one of my favorite youtubers since I was in high school now I'm a teacher and I love that I can still watch you. I'm the oldest in my family so you always felt like an older sister guide. I wish you all of the health and happiness in the world. I love that you talked about wanting to do shit and not doing anything as someone chronically ill I struggle with feeling unproductive but also needing rest days. 😊
riding out covid right now so i caught up on these updates. thanks for all the info it actually is super helpful. very glad to see you in such high spirits and can’t wait to see you kick this cancers ass out the door 🖤
Grace thank you so much. I’m sure you’re touching so ver many people’s lives. I can’t wait to see what happens for you. I have been here with you since your beginner CZcams days!! I’m happy to be here w you now. Xoxo
That’s so thoughtful of you to be a good patient ❤ thank you for sharing your journey, you got this! ❤
Love you Grace! Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. You're helping me sm
Your attitude this round is so fucking positive! You're doing so great! I'm glad to see you in good spirits. Keep it up Grace! You got this.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Your positivity and curiosity is valuable in this difficult situation. You're gonna beat the tar outta this cancer ❤
Also the muppets characterization of you and Mamrie doing TMGW podcast made me lol - so accurate 😂
Good god I have it paused on Monday after you said the stuff about wanting to be productive and then not and then "I'm in this dialogue now" and like GRACE I love you so much like its unbelievable to me. thank you for being here. i missed you in the youtube space
Thank you for sharing this with us, Grace. You're not alone and neither are we- and it's kinda nice to know that. Please continue to take care!
Sending lots of strength and support to you and your loved ones!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Grace I've been watching for years, and I really wanna make sure you know I have you in my thoughts, and that I'm so thankful for you advocating for mental health and now for women's health. Also I'm so happy you're still doing the TMGW podcast, it's so funny (but also don't feel bad if you ever need a break obviously!)
It's so good to see you making this experience as positive as possible❤ We love you Grace
hugs and kisses from denmark, started watching you since about 2012-13! kicks cancers butt!
GRACE! I love this so so much. Thank you for being so open, and for sharing your positivity in the face of frickin' crap cancer. Rooting for you!!
Thank you for the vlog! Love you Grace, you’re always in my prayers!
You got this Grace! I know how incapacitated one can feel after a round of chemo and I’m sure you’re getting all the caregiving snd support from your loved ones right now. Your people can truly be the best medicine and I hope that we all can help be that for you in addition to your family!
I was thinking about you yesterday! You do such a great job of keeping a brave face through the tough times and I admire that - but please remember we're here and will admire you just as much even if being brave feels too hard. Thinking of you and sending all my love
Appreciate this openness with your process. A couple of friend went through lymphoma and blood cancer during covid, was not able to join them physically during the ride and every time they would tell me the stories of chemo sessions i would picture them not like this hahaah i always thought it was painful. They are both in remission, two years and one year respectively. You got this ❤
I've been watching Grace since I was in highschool. I'm not sure why, but I got teary-eyed when watching this. I'm so proud of her, and please keep in mind that we love you and are always here for you!
Watched a lot of your videos like a decade ago when I was living abroad by myself. Back then, you really helped me out. Hope sending some support from Northern Michigan helps you out.
So happy you’re doing okay, relatively speaking. Thank you for sharing with us. Your new kitchen came out great - I love the color blue you chose!
I’ve had a few stints in the hospital due to my seizure disorder, and my nurses and I call the machines that you’re attached to, that give you your fluids “Ralph” because he’s that overprotective boyfriend that won’t leave you alone. It always kept it a little lighter/gave us a good little chuckle. It’s the small things in the hospital.
You got this Grace!
lol ralph is so awkward and clingy
Round 2 done and the way you're going through is still really impressive! And it's cool that you picked up "Notes on a Nervous Planet". I think you're gonna like it.
How do you have the ability to make me laugh more than anything else today when you're going through all this?! It's a gift! You are indeed a "delight." :)
I love your attitude, Grace. You're an inspiring human and I have so much respect and admiration for you. You're definitely helping people by doing this. I'm emotionally joining you on your battle to beat this. If anyone can, it's you. ❤
So proud of you!!! You have a great personality and you are helping other people.
Grace, the perfect name for a woman who can make hard things seem easy! I am so inspired by your compassion towards yourself, your situation, and like you said, being so kind to others. What a strong woman!!!
Praying for all in this journey
Going through breast cancer stage 3 chemo myself seeing your volgs makes me feel normal, my emotions have been all over the place.
Thank you for sharing your journey picked up few tips ❤
LOVED that bit of Psychobabble promo - great to see your experience Grace, I hope things have been alright!
so incredibly impressed how you're handling this. I know what we see is only a snippet, but your attitude is really inspiring.
You are so strong and so incredibly resilient. I applaud your ability to continue *being* as you go through this process. I am constantly sending my well wishes & I am so entirely proud of you and your strength to continue and persevere.
Keep up the squawky small talk! ❤
It's helping yourself and so many others sharing your story - love you're keeping your humour part of chemo!!
Fantastic. Amazing. Super woman. I love it so much that you are making videos on your chemo journey. I'm also going through a health journey in the past months trying to figure out how to cope with chronic fatigue and you are just so inspiring Grace. I've been following you for a decade now and I just wanna say thank you so much and I wish you all the best. 💖💖💖💖💖
Your positivity is so inspiring!!!
her job is just couch and she's doing amazing at it damn
Seeing you in the actual chemo chair broke my heart. You have bought so much joy and comfort to us over the years. I hope we can return the favor during this for you. we’re with you the entire way Helbig.
I can't even express how much seeing you handle this is helping my health anxiety. Thanks so much for being vulnerable with us mate
So glad this round was easier on you! Keep it up! And the content is GREAT! 🤍
Grace, your ability to maintain such a positive attitude towards this whole process is genuinely so effing inspiring and you deserve all the good things that come your way! Since the pandemic happened, I've had a tendency to catastrophize or get lost in negative thoughts/self-pity when facing a tough challenge, and watching you be so open and brave and using your platform to raise awareness for young women's health has truly made me want to work on changing that about myself.
I'm trying so hard not to revert to the cliché "omg you're SUCH an inspiration for fighting cancer, so brave" type of comment and I hope that's not how this comes across, I guess I just wanted to say that it's been amazing watching you grow and succeed over the years, and you're making me want to work harder to spread a little more humor and positivity even at times when I'm also scared or stressed. Thank you for sharing this with us, you're helping a lot of people!
My life is different now because of you. Over the years you have literally made me laugh until I cried but now I'm crying for real. Not only are you crushing this cancer but you are doing it with such strength and courage and, dare I say it...Grace! I wish I could give you the biggest hug. Thank you for being brave enough to share.
hi grace and everybody else maybe going through cancer treatment! i highly recommend everybody use a N95 mask when indoors/at treatment because it is SO MUCH BETTER at protecting you from getting any kind of sick. i love the 3M aura mask, it's so comfy and breathable compared to the surgical masks. much love to yall!!
Agreed! Hank wore masks while filming with John.
Sending you lots and lots of love and hugs
Thank you for this vlog this was amazing your truly a great person and you got this
Grace! Thank you for reminding us "younger women" (medical field terms) to trust our instincts and get checked. I am 25 years old and have been trying to find a gynecologist for my irregular periods. The first 2 doctors I saw said I was too young and seemed healthy based on my lab results but my third doctor finally listened to me and I was able to get a referral from them! We found out that I do have a small growth based on my ultrasound and will be looking into it some more with my gynecologist. So again, thank you for encouraging us to advocate for ourselves because sadly, us "younger" women often tend to get shut down by doctors. Wishing you all the best, you are an inspiration xx
You are so beautiful and positive ❤I am hoping and praying you will be the winner, you will beat cancer's ass!! You can do it, Grace! Sending my love to you and all cancer fighters out there ❤❤❤❤
I’m rooting for you SO HARD Grace!
The day before I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, I underwent a sternotomy to have the mediastinal mass that was near my heart removed; since they didn’t know what it was for weeks. It has been such a rollercoaster and recently finished my second round of chemo. I truly appreciate you for sharing your journey! I don’t feel so alone during this process and hope for the best for you as well during chemo treatments ❤️you got this!
We missed vlogs and we love hearing from you!! And I’d love to hear Grace’s nurse small talk 😂
