Hell yeah, one ball team! Also lost mine from cancer, and truly the worst part of everything, is just all the WAITING
hell yeah fuck cancer
Same situation here. The waits are horrid, but I had it relatively lucky. Thankfully in my case, my tumor was growing super fast, was showing all the classic signs of cancer, and its placement was causing necrosis, so they removed it within three days of seeing a specialist. But all the waiting on the insurance, waiting on imaging, waiting on the biopsy, waiting for healing enough to attend post-surgery cancer treatment, etc., those waits are something I wouldn't wish upon anyone.
The waiting and when something happens you can’t do shit
Same here, lost righty in 2012 to a nonseminoma. Fortunately I found the lump very early so I was cured within a year, but if I missed it for even another month it probably would have hit my lungs.
The waiting really is the worst, the periods of uncertainty. It was better knowing I had cancer, knowing I had to have chemo, and just being able to focus on that and do that. And chemo itself, man... It's just waiting incarnate. Sitting in a chair for six hours a day getting slowly poisoned back to health.
Funniest thing about it though was the hair loss. Most people don't realize that it's not JUST the hair on your head, it's all of it... and it doesn't start where you'd expect! That gave me a laugh.
@@GEEGA As someone who lost their Mom to cancer. 100% fuck cancer. Glad you made it through.
Whenever the doctor examines you and their face says “oh shit” is not a good moment
The only thing worse than that is if the doctor just flags down a bunch of other doctors telling them to "take a look at this shit".
Surgeon: Oops.
that what happened to me 😭i had this huge ulcer (?) on my lip filled with pus that would not drain. A surgeon didnt want to cut it, but saw that there was some pustules on the other side of my lip and sent me to the dentist. The dentist looked at them, called another dentist and a teeth hygienist, and they all just shrugged 😭😭
Geega: "I wanted to display it in a jar on the mantle."
Someone in chat at 28:58: "NEW MERCH!"
To much league of legends
BRUH 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, the Plan A surgery was so clever. When you mentioned a lot of small incisions to take out a big cyst I wasn't so sure, but managing to float it and put it in a bag, popping it and pulling it out isn't something I would have considered. Kudos to your original surgeon for recommending a different more experienced one.
The way she talked about it how she was informed by her doctors, seemed like they've used the procedure before.
@@autohmaeyeah I read about this type of procedure I think the large incision down the middle point of the abdomen was a slightly modified version of a Laparotomy Cystectomy. Not sure what the Plan B Surgery was called but it’s definitely something that’s used for difficult cases.
12:39 As Jake Peralta once said "The doctor said all my bleeding was internal, that's where the blood's supposed to be"
@@Vitharasdfg Best quote ever and very true 😂😂
VShojo is full of people the universe tried to kill but failed
@@themeatpopsicle they’re like saiyans. They only get stronger.
They are just too chill
Yeah that sounds about right. Especially with, Mousey, Geega, Haruka.
@@jostinvalverde8377 Haruka? What was her illness?
Sounds like they will at some point create a localized anomaly of anti life, as in a place where life reverses
Glad Geega is better now, who else would we have to talk about walkable cities and taxes if she wasn’t
I'm glad Geega is alive!
@@fakelawyer_590 I read walkable cities as walking cities
I remember at the time the vague "Schmeatitis" sounding bad but I had no clue it was THIS bad holy crap. It's awesome to hear you're recovering so well after it all!
Didn't want to share anything too scary at the time, so I just joked with the community vaguely about it. I think a few times I alluded to it being BAD bad but tried my best to not say too much!
@@GEEGA I'm so HAPPY you are HERE with us now may you remain healthy Geega thank you FOR being you AND happy new year much love
@@GEEGA We are all very happy things are working out
Im genuinely shocked at the resiliency of people like Geega. It's amazing that she was streaming while all of this was happening. The ability to push through life when things get hard is an underrated skill. Im not a very resilient person, so it always surprises me how people push through terrible things. Nothing but respect for her to be able to work through this. Im glad shes okay and truly hope that things go well for her. Thanks for sharing your story geega.
I'm sure glad you made it, Geega, you're four of my favorite vtubers in Vshojo.
@@SeventhSwell she is four vtubers at the same time?
@@guilerso7796 At least four by now.
(But in case you don't know, there's a silly ongoing joke about Geega repeatedly joining VShojo, even though she hasn't)
14:48 "Where are your organs?" * Vsauce theme starts playing in the imaging room *
What incredible strength to make it through the way she did. And what an indictment of American healthcare -- not just how long it took for anyone to figure out what was going on, but also that critical procedures still took months after it was clear that the delay could literally kill the patient. If someone with a great job and (presumably) great insurance still ends up in that position, I guess the average person had better hope to not get sick.
I can't imagine what it would be like to live with the knowledge of cancer growing inside you for months, unable to do anything but wait. And someone managed to keep an audience entertained while streaming throughout the whole ordeal? Powerful Geega!
That's the thing with US insurance. They want to delay as much as possible. You don't have to pay out for a corpse.
This is the funniest way to talk about something so horrific, and its exactly why I subbed. Rock on Geega.
Geega laughing it off must be her way of dealing with the trauma, this sounds absolutely terrifying... I can't believe she had to endure it for so long, glad she is doing fine now.
I've known people with Chronic or terminal issue's laughing and being blunt is about all you can do sometimes. Laugh in deaths face as they say. Just glad to see Geega can keep laughing
I'll never forget when I was first diagnosed. Was constantly sick for about a year, but didn't go to the doctor because I lost my insurance when I got laid off at the start of the pandemic. I got so miserable by November that I caved and finally went to get checked out. Turns out my whole left lung was collapsed and filled with fluid, to the point it shoved my esophagus a few centimeters and was even pushing up against my right lung. Immediately go to the hospital, the run some tests, poke a giant catheter into my back to drain my lung. The second day, biopsy results came back; Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. 4 years, lots of chemo, a recursion, and a bone marrow transplant later, and I'm cancer free. Life isn't always easy, but hot damn was it worth fighting for. I'm glad to still be here, and I'm glad you're still with us, too, Geega.
Reminder that you're a gigachad, stay strong screw cancer!
Glad you are still here!
My goat.
Neither of us know each other, but there aren't enough words in the English language to express how happy I am that you're still among the living, Geega. May you continue to strengthen and prosper with each passing day.
even if it hadn't been for the thumbnail the moment the bloating and solid bloating was mentioned was unfortunately familiar, my mom had the same issue back near the end of 2020, unfortunately a combination of not having good luck, doctors arguing and one doctor being actively malicious, she unfortunately didnt make it and passed away last year. I'm glad you had things go well and are able to laugh and talk about it now, and sorry you had to go through with it in the first place. Ironically it's how I got into streaming and the like myself, since I had to quit my job at the time to take care of her due to how severe the complications had become... thank you for sharing, and from a pathological lurker, also thank you for all the real talks and advice moments as well, may not come out and say em live, but a lot of them have been really helpful and informative💜
The timing of me finding Geega right after her break from post surgery was a great time to find her 👍🏾
I think John Vshojo is making an army to fight death, and getting everyone that beat death at least once
Then I’m next because I’ve almost died about 58ish times so I’m qualified LoL
But only 7 times are true life flashing by kind of moments update 59 as I currently have a 105 degree fever
Do they take people who are able to evade death also? I haven't beat death per se but my luck has most definitely allowed me to avoid it multiple times.
@@Michael_S3NP4I Holy shit buddy what happened to you ?
I think he just loves Russian roulette @@Charles-wu3hw
Damn, i need to stream more then! I've nearly died to the universe being a bitch like 7 times, and only 3 are worth talking about!!
Geega truly is a Max-Level Midboss, nothing could stop her. Im excited to see how far she continues to grow and become stronger. She has will power that is to be admired.
Hopefully the "unhealthy growing" stays in the past
I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say I'm glad you didn't die
My mom had basically the exact same thing happen; ended up with cancer 6 years later. Keep up with your tests. Wishing you the best.
The way she explains it is so funny lol. She always knows how to tell a story. But seriously, I’m glad she’s doing better.
Thank you so much for sharing your story
Life is precious. Thank you for sharing yours with the world. Your audience learns a lot from your content and this journey you are undertaking. Kudos and you keep being you! 👍
Thanks for sharing, general. We're happy you're here.
From one cancer survivor to another, I’m glad you’re ok and still here with us
I can't imagine the vtubing scene without Geega there, so I am very glad it all worked out
I have an extreme fear of cancer, it's always good to hear people surviving such wild cases. Glad you are currently well!
I'm so happy you've recovered from this and are in a healthier state! I went through the same giant-ovarian cyst scare (mine was 15 cm at ultrasound, but was 30cm in diameter when they removed it) but had the larger laparotomy vertical incision. Luckily it was benign but my god - the fears and emotions during that period of unknown was difficult and scary. To think that you were streaming amidst all of that while not saying too much about your health- just wow. I became an avid VOD watcher of yours when I was recovering from my abdominal surgery, and to think that you literally went through something similar just blows my mind. You're a big inspiration to me Geega, much love
I kinda got the vibe that Geega was a strong individual from how she talks and acts in the few clips I'd seen of her in the past, but I had no idea she was this resilient and mentally tough. I gained so much respect for her from watching this and I'm so happy that she's still around to make all of our lives just a little better with the content she makes. I hope you continue with a healthy life and live out all your dreams Geega!
I'm not really a viewer but this popped up in my feed, just wanted to say glad I'm glad you're ok and I wish you the best. I'm sure I'll bump into some of your content again, in the meantime good luck with the remainging recovery.
Thank you for sharing this incredibly brave journey, Geega. I had a large 'polyp' removed back in October and it was sent for testing to make sure it was not a pre-cancerous 'tumor.' The nurse called it a tumor b/c apparently, it was larger than it should have been... Thankfully, test were negative but it definitely made me think about my other symptoms that occurred during the past 3 or so years. I'm planning to speak with my GP some more about it but seeing your video gives me a little more confidence and I'm a little less scared about possible outcomes. Truly, thank you for sharing and hopefully this video will give other people the confidence to put their health first and to get a second (or third or fourth) opinion when they suspect something is wrong.
The surgeon tapped into ultra instinct or w/e. Probably declared something like "going dark." Absolute mad lad
Congrats as a fellow cancer survivor! Mine wasn't nearly as bad as yours, but dealing with it afterwards does get easier over time.
13:00 that's why most techs are told to give the info to the doctor first, and the doctor is the one to give you the news
I just wanna say, I do not know who you are and I am a week late. But this has been one of the most interesting videos I have seen in a LONG while. Seeing this from the perspective of a biomedical student, the way you told your story was really nice.
Keep up with the recovery and maybe one day you will end up in my recommended again👋👋
It is funny how people who survived near death are oddly upbeat. Also, when a doctor is optimistic and says, "trust me bro..." I find it amazing and funny because it either shows their competency, or their lunacy, and you just have to go with it.
Sometime competence and lunacy exist together
With enough experience (morbidly, including failures), you will get both. But that's what makes the best of them.
I had blood coming out of my mouth and a quick x-ray made it very obvious something was terribly wrong (giant black mass hovering around my lungs) so i got to speedrun the wait list for things like CT-scans, MRI-scan and biopsy etc. which was a life saver since i was *technically* at stage 4 at that point, Been cancer free for about half a year now.
The dark humor feels very relatable, Its almost disturbing how fast one just kind of comes to terms with it not saying its universal but having spend allot of time in the hospital and talking with other patients who were terminal but even they just kinda go "it is what it is" and carry on with their day like its just another tuesday sitting around the lunch table chatting and joking around.
the human mind and resilience is a powerfull thing, and i believe having good mental fortitude helps immensely.
I’m glad you’re ok and doing well
As someone who's lost family to cancer, I'm so glad you beat it. My mom fought stage 4 for 4 years, was going on 5. She's been gone since summer 2022. God bless, glad your around, Geega. Keep kicking ass irl and virtually, General. God Bless. ❤
Being a viewer for a long while it's crazy hearing all these stories that I recall hearing at the time, but now with the full details. I'm glad you got through it because it sounds like a fucking nightmare.
6:53 Unfortunately it's a documented phenomenon that women's medical concerns aren't taken as seriously as they need to be. From the sound of things, Geega may have experienced that first hand. Glad to hear things appear to be moving in a positive direction and I hope she remains in good health for decades to come.
Not only that a lot of what we know about the Human Body is taken exclusively from the Male Body. There are small but Important differences between the inner workings of the female body compared to males. So meds could be working differently than we expect and medical procedures may need adjustments to fit women better but we just don't know that. We are still playing Catch Up on that.
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion right off the bat. It's possible, but it is possible that it just wasn't showing enough for the original doctors to take it for any concern. Cysts are pretty normal, and there's a lot of absolutely harmless reasons for bloating and the like. The fact that they tested and eliminated a lot of the 'simple' possibilities is likely what helped the female doctor get to the proper conclusion.
@@2centschange Maybe, but I'm sure that factored in the equation. as OP said, it's a very well documented phenomenon and I'm sure some of her doctors just dismissed her issue as a "woman's thing" or, worst case scenario, "an obstacle between me and getting home tonight at a reasonable time so that I can eat hot food and watch tv".
I also remember Mousey complaining about her health issues and the doctors keep saying its just anxiety until she literally pooped out her gall bladder
I've definitely experienced this. It's been over 10 years since I first got sick and it's still being blamed on my uterus even though my gyno says everything is fine. I'm pretty sure I had SIBO and knocked it out from a couple years of the low fodmap diet and then a few weeks of a DIY elemental diet(miserable, can't recommend) but I think that was a symptom not the root problem because I still get so sick whenever I try to exert myself and just am randomly in pain sometimes.
Maybe I'd get different answers now that I'm over 30, but my more recent attempts have been based on my weight(which is only because I can't exercise) and still no testing. Even when I ask them to note in my chart that testing was explicitly refused.
I'm so happy you made it, and are recovering well.
Our strong General. Thank you for sharing this. Very glad to hear that things are going better.
This is literally the first video I have ever seen of Geega and I am sold haha
Glad everything worked out so well!
I'm having health issues atm, so I thought this lighthearted jab at the topic will be just what I need to perk my spirits! NOPE. DIDN'T HELP.
Glad you're doing better Geegs.
I haven't watched a ton of Geega before but you have my utmost respect and sub for what you've done. I couldn't imagine having to go through something like that, let alone keep positive and stream too, you are a god damn warrior. I am glad I clicked on this video.
Fascinating procedure. Am glad to hear you got through it and that you're still with us
Hearing you talk about your organs moved around had me wincing. I am in no way equating my surgery to yours but I had my appendix out laparoscopically, and to do it they had to inflate my stomach some. So when I woke up, for the first few hours sitting up at all felt like all my organs were going to fall out of me so I can only imagine what you felt like after that was removed.
This level of humor is what I aspire to have throughout all the bad time in my life.
Especially afterwards, when you CAN laugh about it, when it's done and over with.
Good for you, having such a great outlook after the fact. It takes a lot to be able to
laugh at the darkest parts of your life. My hat's off to you Geeg.
Leaving a comment to commend the last line of defense that was the pre-cancer cells lining Geega's cyst. Such valor is hard to come by.

Yknow how people say that hamsters never die normal deaths? That’s how I feel about vtubers except, fortunately, no one dies and everyone comes out okay
Unfortunately I think that's survivorship bias. We never hear from the ones that didn't make it.
@@VladLogimane Yeah unfortunately. There's even a category on the Vtuber wiki on deceased Vtubers.
Yo, same!
Cancer absolutely changes your mind about the world. My most vivid memories are from that time and I know how it felt to be free of the tumor and thinking now I have time to do all the things I dreamed about while having it. Sadly, some of those things didn't come to fruition yet because the post-cancer high also goes away after half a year and you get into the day-to-day again.
So sorry you had to go through all that, its truly amazing that you managed to pull through despite all odds!
Appreciate your attitude to all your health difficulties Geega, I think I would have gone insane. Stay strong, and stay healthy.
you really explained this with the casual air of someone reading a thrilling novel with a three act story structure, iconic
You are one of my heroes Geega. You facing this, staying positive and moving forward with life is amazing! Thanks for sharing this for the others that really need to hear it.
Beat lymphoma last year so this was a cool story to hear. Always love hearing other survivors develop that same seemingly morbid sense of humor over the course of treatment. I also wanted to keep the lymph node they took out, but alas, I couldn’t. I *did* get to keep my chemo port though, I have it in a urine sample jar on my shelf.
I wish you for a speed recovery.
I'm going through alot of medicial complications myself, diffent symptoms and case but it's been not be diagonsed after the last year of acid reflux and food trying to come back up. Had biposies taken recently of my stomach and esopahsaus. Also underweight, young, and never had surgery (yet probably) so it's a shit ton of waiting. I have written a will which scared my now executor at first. Anyway thanks, glad I'm not alone in health care hell.
Oh my gosh I had no idea you went through that, I’m so sorry you went through all of that pain, I’m happy you’re recovering better now we all love you Geega! :D I hope you stay healthy and strong now
Dude! I wanna give her a hug! That is terrifying!
Huge amount of respect to you for not only keeping things personal so your community didn't worry but also the fact you are able to look back and have a good laugh and be able to tell this to people like its something dumb you did as a kid. But really though I really respect you and your ability to brave this battle!
o7 I salute you General
Doctor sounds like an absolute legend. Keep her in your prayers for having such a great attitude and keeping you relaxed through the whole thing.
glad u ok bro, you are one of the people that make this world a better place. ❤️
Rough stuff man, but what an amazing story! You're also a great storyteller.
Damn, that is crazy. Honestly, for a moment I thought you were into the medical area since you are so well informed about many things surrounding the issue but just goes to show how much you look into it. And while with cancer, knowing sometimes is not half the battle (sometimes you just rolled bad RNG and there is nothing else to do when you find out), in this cases, knowing does take away some of the uncertainty and anxiety of things.
Cheers for the battle won and cheers for keeping up with the check ups. I've seen cases of people who skip the check ups and find out too late they are in Round 2, which is pretty unfortunate when some of this problems can be solved with the scheduled check ups.
I used to watch all the time, but due to my own health issues, ive been pretty disconnected over the past year or so. I remember you talking about your situation and alluding to it being bad. I'm so glad things were taken care of (after waiting forever). I can tell you, my mental would NOT allow me to stream and stay positive like you did if i were in the same situation. Hopefully you keep getting stronger, healthier, and all of this can be in the past.
That was a really great vid, glad you made it out ok in the end!
you are genuinly so entertaining. I have ADHD and I have never sat through someone talking for 30 minutes straight about something that I think is kinda boring without interruption like I just did with this video.
i'm so glad she's okay, cause this shit is terrifying.
Jeesus Christ. I cannot even imagine the amount of constant stress and anxiety this must have been causing at the time. Like carrying around a time bomb that you KNOW is going to go off but you can't read the remaining time and you can't jostle it because that could set it off too... It must have felt like having such a MASSIVE weight removed, not just literally from your abdomen, but mentally and emotionally from your shoulders. I'm glad you made it through it all and that you seem to be doing well and are able to look back and laugh about it now. Keep being you, Geega.
Geega was a human crockpot for that cyst for a second when they put the crockpot liner around it.
I am so happy you seem to have beaten it. Cancer is very rough. It took my dad after 3 years of fighting. Here's hoping you remain free and healthy for many many decades going forward, and you can keep doing what you enjoy
Lovely, strong lady. Thank you for sharing your story!
I was in a similar position a few years ago. My doctor found markers for precancer in my liver and immediately put me on a wait list. 8 months later I'm waking up in a hospital bed with a transplanted, refurbished liver.
Geega, much love and respect to you for getting through it and glad you're around to joke about it
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tragedy + Time = Comedy.
Sometimes, laughing at the worst things are the only way we can process, or handle things too.
"I'm stuck in this body and I can't get out. Help."
I feel that too.
Thank you for sharing your experience. The way you handled the topic was great.
12:35 FULLA BLOOD
14:02 we need to give this tech a raise she is hilarious
18:41 🥚
23:36 Plan A sounds like a DaVinci surgery (precision machine that can use multiple tools to perform surgery)
28:03 Water balloon surgery
30:21 She asked what we all dream about 💔
32:25 he still walketh in both realms and cannot find a maiden
Genuinely so glad to hear of your recovery, I remember things sounding pretty bad for a while but never knew it got this serious. You really are amazingly resilient!
Also, thank you for scaring me into finally making a follow up appointment for something PROBABLY harmless but best to be certain.
So glad that plan a panned out well and that you recovered good! As someone who has had open surgery there (like plan b) the recovery is awful and lasted waaaaay too long.
I am going to have to stay at the hospital in about a month for some testing on my brain that should hopefully not be too bad, but it's scaring me regardless. I could relate to a lot of the waiting for tests and doctor's appointments talks (4 months of living your normal life after a doctor told you "Yeah, something is not right" and an actual answer is very stressful) and eventually thought "If she survived all that, I'm going to be fine." Thank you for sharing!
I am so glad everything worked out for you in the end. I know that it is so scary to wait months for doctor appointments when you know sth. is really off with you. You are are a great and strong person and I wish you a happy long life without anymore of that scary shit happening.
I wish I was a good storyteller because of videos like this, God bless you for going into detail about an otherwise traumatizing and stressful life-changing event.
Also that surgeon sounds like an anime character, "I got a guy who happens to be really good at unorthodox surgeries", he likes a challenge like dayum!
Surviving cancer is a huge deal. So glad we have our little boss lady with us.
Glad the recovery has been going well. Kinda suspected ten minutes in because it sounds a lot like a patient my father had, although she was in her 40s when it presented.
I've just been an occasional silent lurker on twitch for somewhere around a year now and I had no clue. You talked about this in such a digestible and informative way, thank you for being so careful then and now! I'm so glad you made it and that you're okay!! 💕
Thinking back on those old streams and I had no clue it was that bad... Glad you're ok now and hoping for a clear and healthy future
So happy to hear youre in a better health spot geega 🙏 amidst so many sad stories now days, its so relieving to hear that things even went *mostly* well. I hope you thrive and still do everything you want too, I wish that very strongly.
You must have been some sort of med tech, or working in IT for some sort of Medical facility if you could read an Ultrasound that well yourself. I'm amazed you could be as calm as you seem when talking about and going through the various procedures you went through (MRI's aren't fun) and having to wait soooo long to even get the procedures needed to properly diagnose your condition. I'm amazed you were so coherent during all that and not absolutely freaking out.
I was born with Cerebral Palsy - not terrible, I have full normal use of my limbs and body, no spasming or uncontrollable movements - had to have my heel cords lengthened surgically at age 5 which allowed me to walk as I grew up - hated it at the time and woke up for about 10 seconds during that surgery too (yeah, remember that to this day) - and yeah, I can related to walking up from surgery and immediately throwing up - (nurse was there with a bedpan ready) - but it allowed me to walk semi normally and I even played basketball for my school in Jr. High (MANY decades ago now) - and I've had my share of medical issues still related to my CP and two other surgeries that doctors would improve my walk and balance issues more (big surprise they didn't and with said doctors claiming yeah 90% chance it would help this but I guess I always rolled a 91 or above, that's why they call it ' medical practice' ) - but yeah, with what you were going through (and the amount of time you had to wait), amazed you kept it all together as well as you did, and glad to hear you came out the other end okay; that it's behind you and you're having a good recovery; and I hope you remain in remission. (Oh, I work in IT as well.)
bless u for getting through it so well^^ may u never ever have to deal with anything like it again. i will pray for ur health and ty so much for being here with us and sharing ur story
Hi, fellow one ball-er! Lost my left ovary to a cyst that was over 8" wide and filled with >2L of fluid (and also had hair in it, wtf), as a then 5'9" 130lbs woman. I had excessive bloating that wouldn't go away either. Obgyn palpated my uterus during routine exam and asked if I was pregnant. Ultrasound just showed a black abyss with a white border (nothing floating in mine), MRI few days later showed it had consumed my entire left ovary, and I had the C-section style surgery instead of the originally planned laparoscopy. :( 3 days in the hospital + 6 weeks recovering. Was rough. No cancer, in my case; just a cyst that never stopped growing...
22:10 That is so true, and people don't really think about that. Trying to stitch an area of high fat content is an absolute nightmare.
I had a massive cut in my leg, precisely where there was a bit more fat (not a lot mind you, just not only skin, muscle, and a tiny layer fat), and the wound kept opening.
So the fact that you were lean certainly made the stitching and recovery much faster and easier.
I got extreme sharp pain in my abdomen and constantly throwing up so ended up in the ER. Turned out it was an ovary cyst. Mine ruptured and I lost a lot of blood, but thankfully I was already hospitalized. Got emergency C-section the very next morning. I have no time to process everything, suddenly woke up as one-baller 😂
jesus...man, already felt really uncomfortable just listening to some parts of this...can't even image having to live through it....Geega is a real trooper, like honestly....life can be so scary sometimes....
Glad you're still with us miss one ball o7
really happy to hear you've been able to keep going through everything, thank you for sharing your experience with us
Respect to you, I went through ATRT. Not that they’re the same, but im sure the stages were almost at the same spot and a cancer at that stage is a nightmare to bounce back from. Hope life stays prosperous.
why are all your medical professionals so unhinged?? "dont pop this" "ur full of blood" "lets play a game"
I'm mostly a lurking clip/vod watcher, but your content and personality has quickly become a major comfort spot for me. Hearing the details of your ordeal is horrifying, and I am glad that you were able to get it handled and seem to be recovering well. Many people would have retreated into a dark place in your situation, but I am thankful that you continued despite it. I'm thankful you're still alive, and I'm glad that I can continue watching you.
And now I retreat back into the shadows in which I lurk. Cheers, Geega!
