As someone who's had a chronic illness for 8 years now... I can SO relate to the feeling trapped in a body that won't cooperate/feels unreliable and at times unsafe. It's really hard to deal with, and most people can't really relate. Thanks for sharing your journey!
I have an autoimmune disorder that's been flaring up so badly the last few months to the point where I may have to leave my job. that trapped feeling is so very real
@@nicholesnow I had to take a recent break from my job because I've been in so much pain that I am screaming. Being chronically sick is full of ups and downs. People want you to be put into a bubble, but really you need a bubble between your own body and your soul
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 days ago and I've been rewatching your chemo vlogs to kinda prepare myself and know how to help her when she in treatment. Your decision to make these videos has such a big impact. Thank you Grace! Soon you and my mom will have beat cancers ass!
A text from my mom, who also had breast cancer, after she watched this video: “I love Grace Helbig’s RUclipss on her chemo treatment. I can so relate to a lot of the symptoms and things that she was feeling and it’s just really I don’t know uplifting for some reason for her to validate what I was going through and also see her go through what she’s going through with such grace. She’s got the right first name.”
God as a chronically ill person you hit the nail just, directly on the head with the whole "feeling trapped in a body that doesn't work" talk. Many feels
The Eagles probably would have won if they consumed chunks of Grace's iconic chunks of tomato-filled soup instead of filling up on her equally iconic, yet not at all chunky pancakes.
Elliot ordering McDonalds (hopefully while high) and being excited about it, then later sprawling on the couch like he is a french girl waiting to be painted is such a mood. and very specifically relatable for me.
Ahhhh the return of "I don't know", however unintentional, as an endcap to the video. Got me all nostalgic and comforted over here. I feel like I'm in my own cocoon! It scratched just the right spot in my brain! I'm glad round 4 is going relatively well so, far and hope it stays that way! Take care, Grace! We're all rooting for you!
Loved the video update... keep fighting the fight! I got diagnosed with a rare (or as my doctor said yesterday "weird") ovarian cancer... caught on a fluke end of last year (had no symptoms), low grade, had surgeries earlier this year, and yesterday got told there is no evidence of disease now. It's been a strange year and I'll take the win! I laughed really hard when you realized what you said at the end... Queen of the Callbacks (even when you're not trying). Holding thoughts for the best outcome for you, Grace... you're one of my favorite people that I don't actually know.
Going for my routine MRI #2 tomorrow for my M.S. I just close my eyes usually while in the tube, but my technician last week said I should keep my eyes open. Just great! I also play a game whereby I try to sing to the music they play in my head and see if I keep up with the song through all the banging and clanging of the magnets. Pathetic I know, but whatever gets me out of the tube faster. I'm so glad the tumor is shrinking and the cold capping is really working great. You go girl!!
"A huge part of being sick is just managing being inside of a system that feels unreliable, and not freaking the 🥁out about that." Word. I think maybe 60-70% of my panic attacks over the years have been caused by hyper-body-awareness. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us!
“A huge part of being sick is just managing being inside of a system that feels unreliable.” YOU PUT IT INTO WORDS. I’ve had a mysterious medical issue affecting my eyes for the past year which has derailed my whole life. I had to drop out of college, quit my job, etc. because i just can’t rely on my body to function well enough to do those things. I will be quoting you in therapy today. The internets silliest goose always has the most profound takes. The greeks had aristotle. We have you. ❤
Unintended surprise ending.. And a bonus cooking video in the middle! Thank you so much as always Grace for the updates. We appreciate you sharing what you are able along the way. Wishing you much rest and recovery as the poison is doing it's thing. -- Cheers
Thank you for bringing up the cold capping, I might need chemo coming up and I had never heard about it till now. Definitely going to ask my oncologist about it. Wishing you the best on your journey!
The “I don’t know” at the end made me so emotional holy shit Ur doing so good Grace, the nightmare is almost over and ur rocking it - Thank u for trusting us with these videos and thank u Nurse Tom for giving Grace her butt shot!
Welp, this is where I get a little cheesy. I am nervously awaiting a Monday appointment where I find out the treatment for the tumor on my thyroid. So um.. yay us !?! But seriously Grace, I’m not sure why but I’m less scared about it because of your vlogs. So thanks!
Amazing updates! My dog is in week 6 of his chemo, he's doing amazing. Dogs are lucky that way, he doesn't need therapy, just treats and scritches. I try very hard not to think of his future and just be present every day. I was so happy I almost cried when he humped his bed last week. First time since May, so he's feeling so much better. F*ck cancer! We got this. :)
“Managing being stuck in a system that feels unreliable” I’ve never been able to describe how my chronic pain makes me feel until now and I feel so much lighter now. Thank you so much Grace ❤
I’m two years out from a difficult - and disfiguring- cancer surgery and treatment. I’m thankfully cancer free now but the feeling of disassociation and being able to look to the future remain difficult. Glad to hear you vocalise it. Wishing you all the best on your journey. ❤
i have an autoimmune condition that is here for life, what you said about being inside a body that isn't reliable is such an accurate description of what i have felt lately (going through a crisis these past weeks). its just understanding that we are not invincible and that this all part of the same unity of us that is hard to grasp sometimes. thank you so much for doing these videos, sometimes it feels like i have someone who understands me by my side, you're amazing!!! ❤
I used to manage a salon and had many women do the cold capping when they were going through treatments and many of them stopped their cold capping sessions with their last round of chemo. Many of those women proceeded to lose hair for a while after treatment. I recommend if your insurance and doctor allows it to do several sessions after treatment is over (about 3 months as your hair is on about a 3 month growth delay). Keep your vitamin D and Iron levels up and that should help too.
Rooting for you, and just wanted to let you know that the portion of you cooking was such a throwback to all the videos you used to do that have brought me joy and comfort so many times. I feel like some of that carried on through those hard times and hope it brings the same joy and comfort to you. keep strong, keep fighting.
I am so happy you have Elliot for all this. I know the joy of having finally found your person, your best friend and getting to go through hard things with them, instead of alone. You're doing amazingly, Grace! Keep it up❤
Thank you for sharing your journey. I had two biopsies a few days ago and they have a high chance of being malignant. Watching your videos has helped me with the anxiety of possibly needing chemo! Thank you again, you are amazing
I hate watching you go through an illness but I love seeing illness through your perspective. Your positivity, emotional intelligence, and way with words make me more able to support the people I love that are suffering with illness.
I love capybaras and I absolutely must know more about your capybara hat! And I cannot wait for you to be done feeling crappy and sick. I can't wait for this cancer situation to end for you. I survived a cancer scare in 2020-21 and I know how confusing, foggy, frustrating, and depressing it can be. You're going to push through this and I love to see your resolve through all of this.
Sending love as always! Thank you for sharing your days with us, good and less good. It helps me remember on the less good days that feeling my feelings are important and I really appreciate it. ❤
Ty so much for not just sharing the soup recipe but showing us the steps involved. Really appreciate that as someone who struggles to make anything but a mess!
Found out this week that after 16yrs my mum’s cancer has come back, we are in an uncertain time waiting for biopsies and for a treatment plan to be made. Really appreciate and I’m so impressed by how open you are able to be about this whole process Grace. Having watched your videos for so many years I am so grateful you have allowed us to (parasocially) be part of this uncertain time. Sending you the best of luck with your biopsy. ❤❤❤
I found out I am BRCA2+ this summer and then, after so many scans, was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. Currently waiting on my double mastectomy scheduled in a few weeks. I have been following along with your journey (and cheering for you from afar!) for all these months, and I just wanted to let you know how comforting and inspirational your videos have been! Wishing you all the best!! 🩷
I feel honored that you're sharing your journey with me. I know you're just putting this out here, but I'm honored to watch it. Hubby & I have decided that you're going to be fine. You just are. It won't seem fine sometimes, and the road will have ups and downs, but I just know you are going to be fine. And then you'll write a Grace's Guide to Overcoming Cancer, which I will buy on audio. Also, thank you for sharing the tomato soup recipe because we made a modified version of it (didn't have the exact ingredients, but it was close) and it was the Best. Soup. Ever. So not only are you amazing and funny, you have great taste in soups. Respect!
I just love you. I also love your green cabinets. I think I said that before but whatever. I'm so glad you are feeling better. All the good health vibes for you. ❤
How have you managed to keep your eyebrows and eyelashes? I thought the cold cap only worked on your scalp but you still have yours (unless you've microbladed your brows, in which case - hella smart and they look great)! But of course, much more importantly, I'm so happy to hear that your body is feeling and healing better. I'll share with you the best advice I've ever gotten, and that is: "keep going." So keep going, Helbig.
I microbladed my eyebrows before chemo started and have been using this serum recommended by someone on IG called “Brian Joseph’s” - results vary but so far it seems to be helping 🤞🏻
Have used souper cubes to freeze your lovely soup for later? You can freeze individual serving size soup and stock up! Glad you are feeling better this week Grace your doing amazing.
Hi Grace! I’ve enjoyed your videos since the days of My Damn Channel. I have really enjoyed your videos of your cancer journey. My mother’s family has a long history of breast cancer and I anticipate it in my future. Your videos have been informative on the lived experience and I commend you for your honesty and openness. As with all of your videos and projects, you bring attention to the ridiculousness of existing while remaining grounded in the reality of it. I hope you continue to get good news and begin to feel more like yourself soon! Now I need to make that tomato soup…
Grace, I appreciate your videos so much! I have a tumor on my pituitary gland causing me all sorts of issues. When you talked about being stuck in a body that feels unreliable and trying not to freak the f* out... that really resonated with me. Glad you're going to therapy and talking about it. It's like you put things into words that I myself am still trying to compute. Wish you all the best! You got this!
Thank you so much Grace for continuing to openly share the details (messy included) of your cancer battle! I think your honesty helps all of us fighting cancer with our daily struggle to avoid depression! Your positive attitude is definitely contagious and your energy level is amazing! Somehow you are still able to make me laugh and I think that's good therapy for both of us!
Oh my goodness I come back to grace helbig every couple years sighs I was 13 to binge watch and I was not expecting this, I’m so sorry and sad to see this.😢
Getting to use every machine and every part of the medical system! That's how you know they like you, giving you the FULL tour of the industry! Keep on keepin on Grace, you rock! Soup's on!
Been a long time watcher and fan, Grace. I'm your remote cheerleader and proud of you for documenting and sharing so openly with us ❤ Sending health and healing vibes
Have been watching you since highschool and on the old channel. Seeing you having to go through this difficult journey is heart wrenching, something no one deserves. You have a great outlook on life and bring joy to so many people. Happy healing
Grace, I am in awe of how youve handled chemo throughout these videos. I know that our experiences are vastly different, but i half expected at least 1 where you looked and felt like utter crap, but I dont recall even a moment in a video. Im happy for you and i hope we get to this next step quickly ❤
Hi Grace…I’ve watched you for years and you’ve always handled yourself with such grace (no pun intended) ..I just know that you’re going to whoop this mofo cancer in the butt. You are amazing and you’ve always provided a happy place for me to go to here on RUclips. I am in your corner as are everyone else here. Thank you for being so brave and continuing to brighten our day despite what you are going through. We love you!! 💕💕💕
Thank you as always for your honesty, we are all rooting for you. You're still the same Grace! It's making it easier to not feel alone before my own biopsy this week.
You are amazing! Thank you so much for always sharing life as it is. It is hard, unfair and painful, but you are strong. I am sending you lots of love and support. Hope it gets better and better ♥️
I don’t have cancer but from November 2022-February 2023 I was hospitalized 12 times after I was misdiagnosed and then getting cellulitis. I was then diagnosed with lymphedema and had to go to OT around 8 times. It’s so stressful being sick and in pain. Insurance companies don’t help by denying coverage. I hope you’re taking good care of yourself, mental health is so important to feel better. Love to you! Love seeing these updates.
Good lord !! It sure has been a minute since I've watched your videos, I had no idea !! Belated congratulations on your wedding !!! And I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. It's great you're responding so well to treatment. Best of luck on your journey. ❤❤❤
As someone who has watched your content for a long time & now has been going through by own Big Scary Adult Health Thing at the same time, I just wanted to say how much it means that you're sharing this journey openly. Rooting for you & for good biopsy news!
Sending you positive thoughts! We’re all staying positive and wishing you a full recovery. Your positive attitude in light of your circumstances is contagious. :)
I am stuck in an awful waiting period to determine if I have cancer, I have really concerning symptoms but test results are coming back unclear and having to wait to get in to see specialists means waiting a week and a half for an appointment...the stress is so hard to deal with...watching your journey is helping me prepare for my potential journey...thank you Grace!
Grace i have been watching you for years!! I am so so so sorry to hear about what you're going through and I hope so hard you are okay and will be okay!!!!!!
You are amazing Grace! I love watching you prioritize yourself and your feelings. It is also amazing you have such a supportive husband in Elliot. Keep going girl! 🤩
Good to see you're doing better after the infection and also great news that the chemo is doing its job!!! I absolutely admire your attitude towards the whole situation, it's so inspiring❤ And also that soup looks delicious, will definitely look up the recipe.
Thanks for keeping us updated! If it helps you processing even better! I'm glad that this round went relatively well. I hope the unexpected roadblocks made of calcium are not too severe, but you'll take those on as well if necessary. The important thing is that the tumour is shrinking and that's great! Also, that new found sports affinity suits you well :) My team lost as well today. Maybe I should try that soup thing.
I love you so much and really appreciate you sharing your "journey" with us. I've been a fan since the Daily Grace days and you know what that means...I'm thinking of you and sending positive healing thoughts!
As someone who has grown up around people with chrinic pain, and chronic illness, it is interesting to hear someone talk about being in a body that feels like it isnt working right. Its a familiar sentiment, and odd to hear from someone who is only recently facing this kind of long term illness.
heavy sigh indeed! Proud of you Grace, its hard but you're there, doing it, making it to the next day. Thank you for sharing. Wholeheartedly, thank you. sending luck and love ♥️♥️♥️
Proud. Of. You! Go Helbig 💖✨ You inspire me in so many ways and have for literal years 💝 thank you for being you and for sharing this part of your journey 💗
“The soup has no dairy!” Proceeds to dump a hefty amount of shredded cheese across a sheet pan 😂 I love this! Sundays are for soup in our house! Last week we made chicken tortilla and creamy gnocchi vegetable. I’ll be adding this recipe to my must try list!

Hello there
NURSE TOM FAN CLUB BAYBEEEE
As someone who's had a chronic illness for 8 years now... I can SO relate to the feeling trapped in a body that won't cooperate/feels unreliable and at times unsafe. It's really hard to deal with, and most people can't really relate. Thanks for sharing your journey!
💪🏻💪🏻
This! I related to this part so much as a chronically ill person as well! ❤
Perfectly worded!
I have an autoimmune disorder that's been flaring up so badly the last few months to the point where I may have to leave my job. that trapped feeling is so very real
@@nicholesnow I had to take a recent break from my job because I've been in so much pain that I am screaming. Being chronically sick is full of ups and downs. People want you to be put into a bubble, but really you need a bubble between your own body and your soul
You accidentally ending the video with “I don’t know” really cracked my shit up
Yay for smaller tumors, chonky soup, therapy, and supportive spouses! ❤
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 days ago and I've been rewatching your chemo vlogs to kinda prepare myself and know how to help her when she in treatment. Your decision to make these videos has such a big impact. Thank you Grace! Soon you and my mom will have beat cancers ass!

Wow what an amazing message! Thank you for sharing! Hi, Hannah's mom!
God as a chronically ill person you hit the nail just, directly on the head with the whole "feeling trapped in a body that doesn't work" talk. Many feels
💓
Hard agree. there are so many things I want to do that my body won't let me do. It's so frustrating.
I’ve been saying “one chime at a time” to myself this week. Like we are beautiful lil wind chimes just doing our best. Chiming as we go❤️
Love that!!
We love YOU! GO BIRDS,AND SOUP!💛
Aww thats great! I'll be a little wind chime too.
@@tinymossdragon1508 ❤️🥰
Rooting for you so hard right now! ❤
My wife was diagnosed July 9. Following you closely, as she just finished one of four chemotherapy treatments. Thank you for your updates. 🙌🏻❤️💪🏻
Sending her lots of support!!
As someone with chronic illness, seeing this journey has made me feel way less alone, you got this!!!
💓💓💓
Same here 💗
Same here. Thanks Grace.

Hearing grace saying CHOINKS increasingly more aggressive gave me such joy! Hoping the treatments are doing their thing and you’ll feel better soon ❤️

Been a long time watcher and fan, Grace. I'm your remote cheerleader and proud of you for documenting and sharing so openly with us ❤ Sending health and healing vibes
Oh Grace... how I love you and how much this process breaks my heart. I am hard wishing you the most positive outcomes.
Have been watching you since highschool and on the old channel. Seeing you having to go through this difficult journey is heart wrenching, something no one deserves. You have a great outlook on life and bring joy to so many people. Happy healing
Grace, I am in awe of how youve handled chemo throughout these videos. I know that our experiences are vastly different, but i half expected at least 1 where you looked and felt like utter crap, but I dont recall even a moment in a video. Im happy for you and i hope we get to this next step quickly ❤
Hi Grace…I’ve watched you for years and you’ve always handled yourself with such grace (no pun intended) ..I just know that you’re going to whoop this mofo cancer in the butt. You are amazing and you’ve always provided a happy place for me to go to here on RUclips. I am in your corner as are everyone else here. Thank you for being so brave and continuing to brighten our day despite what you are going through. We love you!! 💕💕💕
You’re doing a great job, Grace. So proud of you for continuing therapy, doing some good self care, and leaning on your supports ❤
Thank you as always for your honesty, we are all rooting for you. You're still the same Grace! It's making it easier to not feel alone before my own biopsy this week.
You are amazing! Thank you so much for always sharing life as it is. It is hard, unfair and painful, but you are strong. I am sending you lots of love and support. Hope it gets better and better ♥️
I don’t have cancer but from November 2022-February 2023 I was hospitalized 12 times after I was misdiagnosed and then getting cellulitis. I was then diagnosed with lymphedema and had to go to OT around 8 times. It’s so stressful being sick and in pain. Insurance companies don’t help by denying coverage.
I hope you’re taking good care of yourself, mental health is so important to feel better. Love to you! Love seeing these updates.
Grace: “I don’t know. Oh! End” Me: 😭
Thank you nurse Tom you’re so awesome we love you - love you Grace
Good lord !! It sure has been a minute since I've watched your videos, I had no idea !! Belated congratulations on your wedding !!! And I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. It's great you're responding so well to treatment. Best of luck on your journey. ❤❤❤
As someone who has watched your content for a long time & now has been going through by own Big Scary Adult Health Thing at the same time, I just wanted to say how much it means that you're sharing this journey openly. Rooting for you & for good biopsy news!
Sending you positive thoughts! We’re all staying positive and wishing you a full recovery. Your positive attitude in light of your circumstances is contagious. :)
I am praying for you, Grace. I am praying your name over you. I am praying for complete healing and restoration.
You're doing great! Be gentle with yourself. This will all be over soon and you will be able to put it behind you.
I am stuck in an awful waiting period to determine if I have cancer, I have really concerning symptoms but test results are coming back unclear and having to wait to get in to see specialists means waiting a week and a half for an appointment...the stress is so hard to deal with...watching your journey is helping me prepare for my potential journey...thank you Grace!
You got this! One day at a time!
Hope you're able to get some answers soon. Not knowing is nightmare fuel. Sending all the happy thoughts I can your way. ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey through this, Grace. Also that ending was like a big hug from an old friend.
Grace i have been watching you for years!! I am so so so sorry to hear about what you're going through and I hope so hard you are okay and will be okay!!!!!!
sending you all the love grace ❤❤❤ i can already see you looking better from your last video
I went to the comments for Tom. Can we find him? Thanks for the updates Grace
You are amazing Grace! I love watching you prioritize yourself and your feelings. It is also amazing you have such a supportive husband in Elliot. Keep going girl! 🤩
Yay for chonks and soups!
Best wishes on your recovery!!! You've got this. ^___^
Thanks for continuing to share and be so open with us, Grace. And thanks to Elliot for being such a helpful lil' husband!
Good to see you're doing better after the infection and also great news that the chemo is doing its job!!! I absolutely admire your attitude towards the whole situation, it's so inspiring❤ And also that soup looks delicious, will definitely look up the recipe.
Wishing you well and I’m so glad cold capping is working. ♥️ I hope your cocooning is restorative! ✨
I love when you post, you’re so positive and I’m glad things are going well 😊
Thanks for keeping us updated! If it helps you processing even better! I'm glad that this round went relatively well. I hope the unexpected roadblocks made of calcium are not too severe, but you'll take those on as well if necessary. The important thing is that the tumour is shrinking and that's great!
Also, that new found sports affinity suits you well :) My team lost as well today. Maybe I should try that soup thing.
Just want to say I’m sending good vibes ❤ we’re rooting for you and very glad you’re feeling a bit better
I love you so much and really appreciate you sharing your "journey" with us. I've been a fan since the Daily Grace days and you know what that means...I'm thinking of you and sending positive healing thoughts!
You’re freaking amazing, grace. I hope you’re giving yourself all the credit!!!
Thank you for these check ins. I know it's up and down for you, but I'm always glad to see you.
As someone who has grown up around people with chrinic pain, and chronic illness, it is interesting to hear someone talk about being in a body that feels like it isnt working right.
Its a familiar sentiment, and odd to hear from someone who is only recently facing this kind of long term illness.
heavy sigh indeed! Proud of you Grace, its hard but you're there, doing it, making it to the next day. Thank you for sharing. Wholeheartedly, thank you. sending luck and love ♥️♥️♥️
Proud of you and here for your journey!! You've got this, Helbig! ❤
Proud. Of. You! Go Helbig 💖✨
You inspire me in so many ways and have for literal years 💝 thank you for being you and for sharing this part of your journey 💗
Glad to see you, Grace sending hugs 🫂
As a person with chronic incurable autoimmunological diseases, the "being stuck in a body that is unreliable" part hit home a bit too close

Thank you for keeping us up to date.
“The soup has no dairy!” Proceeds to dump a hefty amount of shredded cheese across a sheet pan 😂 I love this! Sundays are for soup in our house! Last week we made chicken tortilla and creamy gnocchi vegetable. I’ll be adding this recipe to my must try list!
always feels like a celebration to get an update video bc you’re just getting closer and closer, grace!!
You are absolutely crushing this Grace!! 💜💜💜
I just want to say I LOVE YOU SO MUCH - Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
