got real honest and open in this video. not an easy topic to talk about. it was something that impacted me and my journey, but also showed me the beautiful relationships that I hold on to so closely to this day. I am no perfect human or friend, but I hope this video explains that when people are going through hard times- just be present. be there for them, if you can. give what you can. don't walk away because it's hard or you don't know what to say. just start by saying hi. I promise it'll mean a lot.
thanks for watching, I truly hope this message gets across to whoever's watching and needs to hear it. be there for your people.
love, kam

You verbalized all this SO perfectly. I’m in the midst of chemo for HL right now, and I relate so much to each and every part of this video. Thank you for putting all these crazy huge feelings into words! Much love! ♥️

You have no idea how much your channel has helped me. I also had HL and we did the same chemo (AAVD)💗

Hey Kam, I’m 27 years old and just got diagnosed with primary pulmonary Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 4B - so it’s mainly in my lungs but also some. other organs too. I’m getting the exact same chemo you got (Bv AVD) and starting my 2nd round of 12 in the next week. It’s been so nice seeing your earlier videos of how everything impacted you because I feel like garbageee lol and it’s comforting knowing you went through the nearly exact same thing and came out on the other end so rejuvenated. Just wanted to comment because your story and journey has at least helped me feel better, if not countless others ❤

my dad was sick for seven years before he passed away when i was sixteen. people acted like our entire family had died -- some still do. it was incredibly painful, so thank you for sharing your story.

This is such a great message!! I have also experienced this. It is true that just a message saying "I'm thinking of you" would have meant so much!

Hi again 🙂, I'd only watched your recent vids,and just got this as a suggestion and it struck a chord with me so I've just watched it. I know exactly how you feel and yes your video did make sense. When I was diagnosed like you I was surrounded by people who care, texting, visiting, ringing, coming to my birthday party etc, but as time's gone by everyone slowly disappears.It's almost like they get bored of the situation, like they expected you'd of died by now 🤔. Even some members of family contact less than they did at the start. I sometimes wonder if it's a sort of selfish inbuilt action that causes it. Thinking of the person with cancer might make their life's sadder and also self question what is going to happen with their health in the future. So as a result they don't contact you and carry on like normal and if you die, they've already got used to a different life without you which will make mourning you alot easier as they didn't see you anyway 🤔. That's my take on it anyway 😂. It's 3 years since I was diagnosed xx

My brother in law was terminally ill. His " best friend" never visited him or attended his funeral. It would have helped my BIL.

For the same reason people put down their pets when they become too much "work". Having a friend with cancer (I also had/have Hodgkin's stage 4) forces people to accept reality. Life is hard. It isn't all fun and games....but that's a drag. Their bubble & ignorance is much more fun. They weren't your friends anyways.
