I'm once again in awe of your ability to apparently deal with everything that's been thrown at you with such humour, calmness and bravery.

Your sense of humor is stronger than your bones. Sending our love your way across the Atlantic.

Bless him what a champ. I have read he’s passed away but I think his story of documenting his cancer journey is honest, humble and with humour but still I have tears in my eyes.

Joe, you're one of the reasons I'm planning on going into oncology. I became a doctor in June, and I've followed you for several years now. It's inspiring to watch you talk about this in the way you do, and I love that you actually read up on everything medical all the way. You've got a big fan in Denmark.

You put my rotten week into perspective. "Life is equal parts tragedy and comedy" so true. Love your ability to laugh even in these absurdly morbid situations

Joe, I have a very good friend with cancer and the doctors say there is nothing they can do. It's quite difficult to fully understand what my friend has been going through, as much as I try. Your candor and sincerity have been a comfort and great help to me as I try to be the best friend that I can be in a time of most need. That means so much. Thank you and thank you for the work that you have put into your channel. Peace and Love to you and yours.

Joe, I hope you are still with us. I found out a few days ago that my cancer (stage 4) has returned. I am an old lady and I've had a pretty good life. But it reallys sucks when someone young like you has this fucking disease. You are an inspiration and I admire you so much. Cancer will kill us both, but it won't defeat us!

Oh no, my neck, it's broken! Joe, you're one heck of a guy. Huge respect for you. If I can face my mortality with even a smidgeon of your courage, dignity and humour I'll be happy. You have taught us so much, amazing man ❤

I think the scary thing about this from a safe/healthy perspective is the loneliness. You look around and see the world continuing as if nothing is wrong while yours is coming to an end. That said the one thing that binds us all, whether we like it or not, is the end. You are an inspiration Joe and I thank you for having the courage to share this with us. Chin up ... oh wait :D

As a retired nurse who has also got through colon and cervical cancer I'm so angry about the unnecessary extra hardships you and other seriously ill people are put through due to stupidity and lack of care. You have an unbelievable spirit. I am in awe of you, seriously. Oh no my neck my arm- what next Joe?

“Oh No!”, “My Neck, It’s Broken!” As someone who also has a terminal illness, I’m sending you the only thing I have to give you - my love and appreciation for the beautiful soul that you are, and for all that you so willingly share with us. Thank you for making my time more meaningful many days when I thought the only answer was giving up.

“Oh no! My neck! It’s broken!” You have strength and resolve that is hard to comprehend. I’m in awe.

Man, you are leaving such an indelible mark on me. I absolutely love your guts and consider you to be immortal.

Your purpose in life is clear. You have literally changed lives and perspectives. As you continue onward in your journey these videos will remain here forever- continuing to affect viewers from all over the world, from all walks of life. My mother in law was misdiagnosed a year ago, and went back a week ago for a second opinion after symptoms continued worsening. Unfortunately we should have sought a second opinion sooner bc what wasn't cancer, IS. So much so it has spread from her throat, to her thyroid, and more has been found in her lungs. Your journey has helped to prepare me for supporting not only my mother in law, but my partner as well. I love you man. Thank you for being present and providing us with these raw, intimate, and beautiful moments during such a damning diagnosis

You broke your neck and the ambulance didn't come? 😵 You're insanely strong. ❤

Joe I think about you every day. For what it is worth, you have taught me so much throughout your journey. Mostly, it is not to complain about the little things and to appreciate my health. I admire your strength, your transparency and willingness to be vulnerable. Much love to you.

Oh god joe i'm so sorry

Joe as a NHS Doctor (and human being) it is amazing to see your journey from your perspective. Thank you so much for sharing. You are an inspiration.

just found this page and RIP mate you have humbled me so much i’m going to change the way i’m living and focus on what’s right for me and the people around me. where ever u are mate heaven or hell or no where at all, your place on earth was deserved, the rest of us have alot to learn

Oh no my neck is broken 💔 you have been handed such a terrible shitshow but you handle it with true grit. Such an amazing guy.

I am so sorry all this is going on for you Joe. We love ya Chap!!!!😉

I’m still here at the end! I’ve had cancer twice in 10 years, but have been lucky. This is the 2nd video of yours I’ve seen, what an amazing guy you are, such honesty and candour. 🙏

Oh no..my neck...it's broken!! I am a paramedic in Canada. The nature of my career is such that I am with a patient for a brief period of time. I deal with the acute issues, so it is enlightening for me to see what my patients endure outside of my time with them. It puts their needs and wants into context if that makes sense? Thank you so much for being candid about your experiences. It has helped to guide my future interactions with a number of different types of patients. You are not only helping me, but all of my future patients. That is a life and career-altering gift you are imparting, and for that I am deeply grateful :)

oh no! my neck, my back.. :D i have to say, the american inlaws flying in on the day of your hospital visit is some true gallows humor. i had to squeeze in a laugh, if only out of principle :D your strength throughout this entire process has been beyond inspiring, friend. godspeed you absolute legend.

Oh No!! My Neck is Broken!! I actually teared up watching this. When it rains it pours. Your sense of humor and strength is beyond amazing!! Hang in there! Never give up!!

My deepest condolences to Joe's wife and their entire family. This man did his best to be here for everyone and put up a valiant fight! My prayers are with you all. 🙏🏼 ❤

Preventive care is the most overlooked. It hurts to know that you have to be well educated to ensure your health. Laughing hurts but worthy indeed. The biggest pain is the disappointment and discomfort of the condition. You are incredibly articulate and completely easy to understand. We are here to support so no apologies just stay in the game best you can.

Oh no! My neck! It's broken! Thank you for making me laugh. My husband would have got on so well with you!! He died almost 4 years ago from MND, and kept us all laughing until the very end. Sorry to bring up death and everything, but I have to tell you that as a nurse and someone who is still grieving your videos take the fear out of it, raise MY spirits, and remind me of my husband's determination to live until he died. Thank you! And you're doing fine with the Miami collar; I used to train carers how to remove them and replace them so their patient's heads didn't fall off while they were washing their necks, and you've got the right idea. Take care!

Oh no, my neck, it's broken... but it's only a flesh wound! You are amazing, Joe. We all see it and truly appreciate that you have chosen to share your struggles and successes with us. Thank you for being you.

Oh no, my neck! It’s broken! Thank you for everything you’re doing, your videos and experience are invaluable not only for other cancer patients, but for everybody else as well. Stay strong man! WE NEED YOU HERE

discovered his vlog on 3 June 2023 as i was researching on cancer stuff after seeing Hank Green video on chemotherapy.. and one youtube video lead to another really good videos Joe has made to the world. Appreciative of him. Thanks and just want to let his family know.. Singapore here.

Oh no, my neck is broken! Actually, I really did break my back and neck 2 years ago... they are still broken because of severe osteoporosis. I'm so sorry for all you and your family are going through. 😢 My heart is just breaking for all of you. Much love ❤ and hugs 🫂 to all of you.

Oh no, my neck, it’s broken. Rooting for you. So sorry you are having such a crappy time. Sending you and your family my very best wishes that you can all find the strength to move forward, and get the medical help to make you more comfortable. That neck brace must feel awful. Positive vibes in abundance to you from me. Stay strong. Virtual hugs to all. ❤️‍🩹

You courage and tenacity is second to none. The fortitude with which you are enduring this battle is awe inspiring.

So sad that you're going through this nightmare. Love your strength and the way you're dealing with this...thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. 💕

You’re putting on a brave face but you don’t have to. Let all the pain and fear and anger out if you need to. I have so much respect and admiration for how you are walking this path. I’m glad you are getting pain relief. Much love to you and your family.❤

Strength to you at this appallingly rough time. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It helps and we appreciate you. Take good care these coming days and weeks.

Your spirit is amazing. I stumbled across your channel & keep coming back to it. Thank you for giving us a first hand look at what you’re going through. Sending love & light from across the pond! “Oh no! My neck! It’s broken!”

"Oh no, my neck... it's broken!" Yes our mighty PLOID Overlord, your neck may be broken - but Not your spirit! Keep on keeping on and know that you are an inspiration to so many - myself included. O7 and a virtual Beer to you, Sir!

I only recently discovered your videos, but I just wanted to say that how you have faced, and are continuing to contend with all the shit that has been thrown your way, is genuinely so admirable. I had never even heard of thyroid cancer before my mum was diagnosed with it almost 9 years ago. Unfortunately she is no longer here, but we had 4 years with her after diagnosis, thanks to treatment that was relatively new at the time. I buried my head in the sand back then as my way of coping, and she just dealt with all the challenges and hurdles. This has given me some insight into what she went through. There is nothing more to say really, other than that cancer is an absolute bastard. The human spirit is genuinely amazing though, and yours is made of some bloody strong (and comedic) stuff! Sending love to you from this little corner of the internet x

So good to hear from you again. Also very sorry that this crap had to happen. Keep on fighting!

Man you re-define the definition of strength. To have to experience what you do and still have the strength to share this with the world is nothing short of amazing. I have never had a KZfaq video bring about emotions like yours does. Thank you for sharing your story. Whatever this lIfe brings you, you will have left one hell of a mark. Much love to you. I know we have never met but I love you...and thank you❤️

Looking back over some of your older videos, it is clear from the many comments that your channel has helped a lot of people deal with their own journeys, or those of others close to them - a priceless gift by any measure. I’m thinking about you, Joe, and I’ll be here along with everyone else for the duration. Let’s hope it’s for years. Gary, Los Angeles

I am hard-core. Watched until the end and think you and your family are amazing. Your thoughts were very ordered actually Joe. Thank you. Take good care. X

I’m so very sorry Joe, I’m not very prolific anymore since I developed several autoimmune diseases, but I’m sending you healing energy and hopes that you feel better quickly.

Stay strong Joe!!! Your pain you go through, is a great lesson to all those who need it to deal with their own struggles! Tons of love to you and your loved ones ❤

"Oh no! My neck, it's broken!" I've only recently found you and your channel, but it's inspiring to see you push on, despite being in a situation where most would lose hope and give up. You suffer so that others may learn and possibly avoid such a fate. Thank you for being a source of inspiration and a well of knowledge. And may you find peace where you can get it. o7 - Salute.

Oh no, my neck is broken! Your strength blows my mind, lots of love to you.

My mum survived a very bad cancer which could return so I’ve had my own experience from the outside. Without getting religious (as per your rules) we all have to go at some time and can literally go at any age during our sleep of brain aneurism as I unfortunately know someone who did, we cannot control death. What we can control however is how we use our time here. You’re using your time to educate a lot of people and already have a large following so already you’ve done things that most will never do. Thank you for taking the time to make these.

You are a very inspiring human. So much thrown at you yet you continue to handle yourself with great dignity and maintain a sense of humor despite what you are going through. I think of you often and you have touched more people than you know and in different ways for each person who watches you. I’ve been through both parents dying from lung cancer and was grateful to have been part of their story and with them during their peaceful passing. I too am atheist and know that what matters most is what we do with our one precious life. You are someone I will honestly never forget. I wish you great peace for yourself, Kim, and all of the people who love you so deeply. I know you will continue to fight and make every moment count. I’m very grateful to have been witness to your journey and your courage and wit.

Man your such a huge inspiration and I’m so grateful for you and everything you have done for this world, you are going to leave a profound impact on this entire world ❤

I'm very happy you spoke up for yourself. This horrible experience in this hospital, from start (not taking you in immediately) to finish, is just, once again, horrible. Your love & strength (not mutually-exclusive) walks with all of us. Thank you, Joe.

Wow, I honestly can’t imagine the pain and suffering you are going through. I wish I could take it away, or carry some of it for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you always 🥺🙏♥️😢

Dear Joe, I saw this through twitter, crappy times, sending hugs to you and your wife, sending strength for you both to be able to make good decisions to be able to move forward. Your videos matter and are extremely helpful to other people with this, (I am also going through this so you aren’t alone), just finished two weeks of radiotherapy. Oh no, my neck,it’s broken. I think about you more than once a day, and always look out for your videos. Keep going with your humour and knowledge, we all need it😊

Oh No! My neck! It's broken! Thank you for continuing to make these videos, Joe. Your grace and eloquence 'under fire' is extraordinary. I hope next week will be a better one for you. My best wishes are with you.

Oh no, my neck, it's broken!! Seriously though, you are amazing joe. And I'm so sorry you are going through this. ❤

Joe! I was alarmed when I saw the video title, but as soon as you started talking and then chuckling, I knew you were intact! I love your sense of humor. And uncontrollable giggling is a gift. Thank you for YOU❤❤❤

I haven’t been along with you on your journey for very long, but you truly are inspiring. Thankyou for sharing your story with everyone. You are a beacon of hope for anyone struggling!

So very sorry for the hellish battle you have to endure...But in awe of your strength. Big Hugs to you your wife and family🤗

These videos are so important to so many people, whether it’s the people battling cancer themselves or the loved ones of those affected. You are touching countless lives and you need to be aware of it. Thank you sir.

Ah mate my heart goes out to you - always hoped for a miracle for you mate, you’ve been such a warrior for so long. You’re a warrior, such a strong man. I know you’re a martial artist & the strength, it bleeds through you for all to see.

Wow Joe, you are absolutely amazing, such an inspiration and stay so humble. My heart goes out to you and stay strong and positive. You are a warrior, keep fighting and thank you for sharing with us. Sending big hugs your way.

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I can’t believe how strong you are. Your sense of humor is great. As a nurse I am shocked that they told you to stay home and then when you finally got there didn’t put the cervical collar on you immediately. ❤ Oh no! My neck, it’s broken!

Oh no! my neck?! It's broken!? How you maintain resilience and even humour after going through such awful events is remarkable. Fingers crossed for you that something can be done that does indeed help your neck and arm, and sending so much love to you and your family ❤

Oh no! My neck! It’s broken... Yet here you are, still fighting, still smiling - you really are something else Joe. I just wish these demonstrations of your almighty strength and sense of humour didn’t have to involve such a devastatingly difficult experience. I’m hoping some luck, some relief, some good news can come your way very soon. Sending lots of love to you and yours xx 💗😘

Oh no! My neck! It's broken! Joe, I found your channel a few days ago and have watched all of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I appreciate your honesty throughout... even when things have gone to absolute shit. I am sending so much love to you and your family ❤

Such a brave young man. I'd admire you buddy and want you to stay strong 💪🏼 I'm sure your 6 years of videos have helped many and will continue to help people across the world. Wish you nothing but the best.

Thank you for sharing your updates on your condition, I never had thyroid cancer before- but it seems like an extremely hard thing to live with. I have found your channel not long ago on accident and I could tell that you are such a fighter and to be honest, it’s really inspiring… I am glad that you have a nice family and are getting the support you need. Keep doing what your doing 👍🏻 you’re helping a lot of people.

Joe, I been so worried about you. I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this. I am glad you are updating us. ❤ On no my neck it’s broken!

Oh no, my neck is broken! But in all seriousness, you are an absolute joy to see and a huge inspiration to witness I honestly hope this year is as miraculous as the last time you were told you had a few months, but despite what may come or not, I'm grateful to see you in the here and now with good spirits~ Keep the fight strong! Much love from the US~

Oh no, my neck, it's broken!! I'm so glad you have people around you to help you through this. This sounds like enough problems for at least 10 people. Much love to you!

I just wanna give you huge hug and tell you everything is gonna be fine. Such a strong soul you're an inspiration brother 🙏🙏🙏

I don't know if it means anything but thank you for bringing us along in your journey. We'll all face an end at some point, some of us won't see it coming and others, like you, will face it head on with dignity and courage. I hope I have half the heart you do when my time comes. I wish you peaceful days full of love, free of fear and pain.

Oh no! My neck! Its broken! You are an amazingly brave young man sharing your story in such an honest, humble and authentic way I just came across your (sad announcement) video from 2 weeks ago and now this one. You touch me deeply as I'm sure you have touched many others. I don't know you at all but I feel a connection with you anyway. You are remarkable, courageous and wise & I wish you only the best. I will continue to follow your journey. Wishing you peace & sending you love ❤

Thank you as ever, Joe, for sharing your story with us with such compassion, humour and wisdom. You have done so much to help us understand more about this horrible disease. Oh no, my neck is broken.

Oh Joe, oh no, my neck, it's broken, oh and btw your amazing, your sense of humour through this blows my mind.....thanks for also keeping us all updated throughout such a difficult time, take care, hugs to you and your lovely wife from here in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 xxx

I sincerely appreciate your candor. I work in cancer research and you speaking your piece keeps it very real for me and makes me put my best in a work every day. You matter. Your words matter. You matter.

Oh no, my neck, it’s broken! Thank you for so bravely sharing your journey and making others feel less alone. Your strength and candour are incredible. I feel a rage for your struggles and this battle you fight. You’ve already won for me. Sending as much positivity to you as anyone can muster x

You are an incredible human being, your candor, humour, smiles and bravery is admired by many thousands of people. You inspire others and we are all so proud of you, the amount of strength you show is admirable. Thank you for showing us the your strength through the years. You are a amazing and thank you for everything you have done for us as a community of cancer warriors. You are a true warrior. ❤

“Oh No! My neck it’s broken!” As you asked, to prove I’m amongst the very very many who have watched. Whilst I’m so sorry I’ve only just subscribed, I’m equally if not more so, proud that I have. Your bravery,courage,humour,love and strength shine like the sun and light that emanates from you. May you, your family, friends and other loved ones be blessed by you being and celebrating the amazing man you clearly are with love and laughter. 🙂💚

Oh no! My neck, it’s broken! You are an amazing being, my heart was sinking in sorrow while listening to your story and yet you made me smile. You truly are a magnificent person.

Such kudos and mad respect to you...your ability to laugh through the pain is highly phenomenal and admirable...we are here following your amazing journey every step of the way stay strong! ~Angel and Ryan ☮☮

I stumbled onto your previous video. It really sucks that you've had to have things go this way. I had both grandmothers pass from cancer last year. Squeezing in that time to just see people you love, and do things together is so important, and I hope you and your loved ones are able to find your own comforts in however the end progresses. I know I found comfort in knowing that I had the time to see my grandmothers, in part because it does take time. And that it gave a chance for them to be surrounded by loved ones when they went. All ends are tragic, but there is always some kindness, some love to be found in them. Also keep up that sipping! Monitoring one of my grandmother's water intake was so important because of how easy it was for her to lose track and end up dehydrated. It's really the small things that can perk someone up and make a difference in their state of being. Sucks that healthcare seems to have it's bumbling no matter what country you're in.

Oh no, I've broken my neck. You don't hear that often. And yet you are smiling. I love your honesty and sense of humor. Thank you so for teaching us, that whatever happen, we can adapt to a new version of ourselves. I sense that you are insulted that your body is betraying you but you seem to roll with the punches and keep moving forward. Joe, you are impressive and inspirational. Thank you for that. There are surely low moments for you. I can only hope that our concern and comments uplift you at times. From Canada

Oh no, my neck is broken New subscriber here , playing catch up. I'm so very sorry for all that has happened, life can be shite and down right bloody unfair! I have no doubt though that your channel has and will continue to inform, educate and help others. Despite it all I hope there are still good moments in each day.

Everything you do on KZfaq or other platforms will help others for years to come. BIG THANK YOU ! You are a hero, and it really should be looked at in that light. Lots of people have cancer and are gone with not much of a legacy. You had the presense of mind to video and update a group for which you started. YOU ROCK ! and You are forever SPECIAL and AWESOME ! Huuuuuuuuge Thank You ! If I should ever go through anything similar, I will know that I will at least try to be 1 tenth the human being you are at heart. Okay, now for the joke......Keep your head up !.....he he he okay some might think that inoppropriate, but we have to be a little light on feelings. I really mean in a BIG WAY, Thank you and be easy on yourself. I think I would be super medicated at the point your at and knowing you have good people around you. LOVE YA fellow Martial Artist ! We both know the mental aspects of martial arts and the FIGHT ! But like a FINGER POINTING WAAAAY TO DA MOON. Even Bruce Lee would take it easy now. Be yourself and let your family know Cancer doesnt matter anymore, and its okay. What is going to happen....will happen. So go with the flow. We cant get blood out of a rock. Youve proven yourself. You dont need to prove anything further at this point except getting back to fundamentals of love of family and family time. Dont worry about us who follow you. We totally get it. On that note, there shouldnt be any pressure you feel from YT. We adore you and love you and accept you conquered a Guiness book of world record, where you cant do anything else but try to better your self in your own competition. Dont fall into the personal competition with yourself. Cancer is a Force to beholden, its a evil that the human race , not just you has not conquered. I think you should make some new memories with family, without the pressure. Mentally I think that will be a weight off your mind and should help. I am your friend and with oodles of respect for you. Be that legacy to your family on a personal level now :) its just my opinion. I have no experience to go on personally , but I have witnessed others who concentrated on family time, and they were a lot better mentally. Make it special !

I've been sitting here after watching your video trying to think what to write. I tried starting with what you wanted us to write in the comment section but I just can't start it on that note. I think you are going through all of this with incredible bravery and strength. And by all of this I mean a struggle and fight that's bigger and more scary than any war that's happened in history. Just know that you should be proud of yourself and stay with us as long as you can. You shouldn't be afraid. Not with a heart like yours, just keep thinking of tomorrow. Love ya brother.

Although this may be a painful and heart-wrenching time, I hope that you can find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you have touched the lives of so many people in a profound and meaningful way. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion have made the world a brighter place, and your legacy will live on forever.

I just came across your testimony Joe by accident and I am stunned by your truthfulness and humour given your diagnosis! You are simply put AMAZING and not one I will ever forget! Today is my late husbands 74th birthday having passed three years ago to colon cancer with metastasizes. You are young and I feel so sad you and your wife and families have to endure this! I marvel at how you appear to be coping with this curveball and feel I could never be so stoic! I loved how you said this cancer will NOT define and beat you! Mental clarity helps to give you time and just know this Canadian woman will follow you and sends you a gentle hug from Canada! ❤️

You are hard core Joe! Your family must be filled with pride, thank you for the videos ❤️

My heart goes out to you. I am a cancer survivor and grateful for each and every day. You are so strong and have an absolutely amazing outlook, l am in awe of your internal strength.

Oh no, my neck, it’s broken!❤ I only just came across your videos today… and have learned you have sadly passed away… I just wanted to say what an amazing man you are, as sharing your journey I am sure, will help many others whom have cancer, or could go on to have cancer, or have family/friends with cancer! My thoughts are with your family at this time, Thankyou for educating us, and for being so transparent with your story. Rest well x

Oh no, my neck! It's broken. Rest in peace, you are incredible.

I have strong admiration for you, your videos will help a lot of people, especially those navigating their own illness. You will leave an indelible mark on this world. Lots of love to you in this life and the next, Joe. xo

I admire how you have faced this dreadful illness with such fortitude and good humour. You have fought all the way and I hope you are not in pain and are still fighting, surrounded by your family and friends. I know I could never have shown a fraction of the courage you have. I’m hoping for a miracle for you 🤞

Oh no! My neck, is brocken. Fly free, beautiful soul.🤍🕊️

Oh no! My neck! It's broken. Keep up the fight Joe. Your attitude and strength through all of this is admirable to say the least.

I came across your page today, and as someone who spent a month after my 11th birthday in hospital fighting bladder cancer, and then dealt with what was feared to be stage 4 skin cancer on my ear several years ago at 56, I am in awe of how you are still managing to deal with all that has gone on with your diagnosis. You are far more inspirational than my own videos here on KZfaq! I hope that some trial unexpectedly comes up and turns out to be the magic bullet which allows you to be able to ramble on for decades more! In the meantime, stock up on cuddles and love from your wife and your kitties, as those provide their own form of magic! Good luck!

You keep amazing me every video with your ability to keep your spirits up with your brilliant sense of humour. Oh no, my neck!, I will never complain about having a crink in my neck again Joe! keep strong, keep smiling, how you do so amazes me, your strength is mind blowing. Sending you love from many who are supporting you and following your journey, we are by your side, from Australia, we are with you mate.

So sorry for this latest challenge Joe. I hope you're doing ok. Sending you thoughts of comfort & strength.
