Your so blessed to have such an amazing Wife. Mine left me with two young kids because she couldn't deal with my very aggressive Crohn's Disease. I'm blessed to have two amazing children that I've raised myself while dealing with Aggressive Crohn's disease.. they keep me fighting every day
Crohns is a terrible disease that alot of people don't even know about I have 2 friends with it. They can hardly eat anything despite numerous surgeries. Hang in there. I hope you find a good woman to help you along. God bless.
This is why I watch lfg and blacktiph, they are some real people with real problems and they have trust in the man up stairs. Very nice seeing how faithful they are and it's good motivation to make myself a better Christian.
God Bless you in your trying time. Like many of your other viewers, I had stage 4 cancer in my spine. That was 1998 and now I am 77 years old and enjoying your fishing program.
Justin as February 9th I am a 5 year cancer survivor of a brain tumor. I like you I cannot have mine completely removed in fact, they were not able to operate on mine at all because it was so large. Hang in there Brother! The radiation shrank mine so that I can somewhat of a normal life. I'm 48 and have 3 beautiful children and wonderful wife to live for!!! Have faith in God because he see you through this! I live my life to fullest each and everyday and love my family with all my heart! My prayers go out to you and Stephanie and little Emmy!
My best friend beat stage 4 brain cancer. You are heroes and your stories are miraculous. Prayers to you also Shawn in Jesus name for you and your family. Continued healing, blessings, restoration, and peace, amen.
Before I got a double lung transplant I bought a old truck to fiddle with. It gave me something to think about. That was five years ago . Just had another TIA stroke . Life is funny that way. You’re a strong person and will overcome this. You’re inGods Hands. Never forget that . I call my strokes brain farts .Take care. PS. I used to pat and talk to my sick lungs and thank and encourage them . Sounds crazy ,but it worked. Our body’s have self healing abilities we know little about.
Dear Lord, we come together and pray that your Devine healing, the one that created Justin and You have all authority on Earth and everything will submit to you, Lord! We come boldly, to you and ask that you remove Willis from Justin’s brain! Where 2 or 3 gathered, your Word tells us You are there, so we come together and give thanks for meeting the need and answering this prayer. And, all His people said, amen!
I have a 7cm pituitary tumor, i had a surgery to remove some mass off the optic nerves, then did 8 weeks of radiation treatment. I know your pain man. Life goes on just gotta push through keep on truckin. Hope your situation is taken care of soon!
Calling all Prayer Warriors! Don’t just say prayers or whatever. Do it! Lift this family up to the Lord our God now! Also, pray for Stephanie. She will need to be so strong here. In the name of Jesus let it be so!
I have a friend who had Gamma knife surgery done. It works extremely well with no side effects and he had no side effects. So don't worry you won't hulk out LOL! I wish you the best.
My mother just had gamma knife radiation treatment on a tumor in her brain about nine months ago. Hers is around the same size but a bit bigger and it is closer to her brain stem and was growing steadily and because of the location surgery was off the table. But after her treatment, it’s stopped growing completely. We are now hoping that we start seeing some shrinkage within the next year. But I hope everything goes well for you brother! Family and love is the best medicine, so soak it up.
UPDATE: I have watched LakeForkGuy grow from before and as a retired teacher/administrator - you are a GREAT TEACHER of science etc. Love to watch and listen to your explanations about brain tumors - have a GREAT NEW YEAR 2024!
I deeply respect you for accepting this hardship and the tumor you have. You know God has a plan. Just know you are in God’s hands brother, and you have all our prayers, you are NOT going to battle alone!
My mother recently passed away from lung cancer & brain cancer. This is a very sensitive topic for me right now, and I give you full support throughout your battle my dude. One day we will figure out a way to permanently defeat these diseases. Stay strong.
When I started watching this video, I felt not alone, 5yrs ago, I went through surgery brain tumor but worst news one month ago I was diagnosed with progressive brain tumor again it was hell for me n my family cZ to us, the first Surgery was done with us . Now 2weeeks ago was removed tumor again which was back again,.was very scared fr the second surgery at the very same part but He who made it fr me first surgery, He was also came n helped me to get out of it, God too faithful to fail us. Now in the house on a healing process so yu will overcome big brother.
LFG, I work in Nursing in a telemetry/Stoke unit. Gamma-Knife Radiation is an amazing invention. How it works in actuality is small gamma ray “laser” beams will be directed towards the tumor. It will shrink it and could possibly eliminate it completely. It is a safe alternative to what the treatments used to be. I have met several people who have had strokes because of tumors in the circle of Willis. Every young person recovered completely from the GKR. Most elders survive, but have the effects from the stroke. Luckily you are young and healthy. Best of luck, you and your family will stay in my prayers!
I went through some health issues 2 years ago. Had 4 surgeries within 6 months. It was hell. Got a little depressed but my wife of almost 30 years snapped me out of it. Don’t know how I would of made it without her and my faith. A good woman is a gift from above and a blessing. We’re all pulling for you. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Sorry to hear it’s back. We are probably close in age. In July, a week before my daughters first birthday I was diagnosed with T4B melanoma on my head. It flipped my world upside down. Had 7 lymph nodes removed on my right side of my neck and 1 on the left. I dodged a huge bullet and everything came back clean, but I am in a clinical trial receiving treatment every three weeks for the next year. I have gnarly scars on my head and neck. It messes with your head for sure. I commend you for how positive you are. I respect that you preach family first. Make sure you keep time for yourself. Good luck with everything!
Oh no, I am sooo sorry to hear this. Prays for you and your family. You’re the best, I watch your videos all the time. I love the ones with your dad. Be with the family. Wrap yourself in their love. Hold your wife close. Willis is going down, this time for good.
WOW!! dude i know this is a older post it's now 2020. i have a brain condition also, i also have used fishing in helping deal with everything, i now have been battling cancer going on 7 yrs. i'm hoping to be back fishing again . Stay positive it's important. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hey buddy, I'll be praying for you and your wife for peace and strength. Love your attitude going back into this battle with Wilson. I had a stroke in my brain stem that has left me weak and uncoordinated on my left side. But through God's grace, I can walk and use my arm and hand. I am so proud of you and your family's Faith that He has a plan for you. Stay strong. Love you brother.
My niece had a similar tumor and the drs did the same procedure you are having now and it worked. The tumor is completely gone. You are a very positive person. I now is going to work for you too. I keep you in my prayers.
Hey! Wish you and your family the best in this fight against Willis. You beat him once and you can do it again! Be strong! Stay positive! Take all the time you need to get this settled. We love ya man!
I'm really sorry to hear this man, I really am. I have done the same thing in far less concerning matters. Go out to the bush to reflect, look back in on your life and re-focus on what matters, like family. You look like you are dealing very well, and you have some great people at your side. I wish you all the best and hope you can fight it and win! We aren't done with ya yet! Take it easy and do what you need to do for you and your fam!
Sorry dude. That sucks. Live life well. Enjoy trout when you can, it’s family and life. Nobody knows their date.. but you seem like a good man. Love your family and live your life. It looks like you have a good one. Fight hard brother
My mom just went through brain surgery and just waiting for the pathology report. It’s nerve wreaking to wait! Thank you for making these videos, it’s been helpful in these uncertain times.
I have had surgery behind left eye. I did not have good experience but I am a outdoors person myself and find peace there. I was opened ear to ear and had staples from ear to ear. Your not feeling yourself for a reason. Its a hard thing but be brave. Your a strong soul. I'd hate to recommend it but monitoring everything necessary. The universe wants you in it. Your a beautiful spirit and Stephanie is needing you along with your family. Bless you.
My girlfriends dad had a brain tumor two years back. Our whole town huddled around them and supported them and prayed for them and it was gone in two months. No explanation for it, just prayer. Just pray and trust God has a plan. That’s all you can do. I’ll be praying for y’all man
My own tumor just came back. Hopefully by now you've taken care of this issue and came out of it OK. I'm waiting to hear from my doc to set up timing, etc. Am posting almost daily about the actual surgery which was supposed to take care of this, but now, only 6 months later, here I am again. It's a rotten break, but it is what it is. Love your attitude and hope you are doing well. Subscribing right now. Keep the faith.
So sorry for this news Justin! I know it’s not what you guys wanted to hear. Stay strong lean on your strong family and your faith. They will see you through this! Proverbs 3:5-6!!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey my husband has a pituitary tumor and it is growing. He has a huge passion for being in the outdoors hunting and fishing. We just love watching your channel. Thanks again.
Sometimes it happens because a darn doctor is envious to someone, and wants them dead. Sometimes also doctors look to steal, a wife. Killing makes it an easy go afterwards. Truth.
Justin, I can kinda relate to what you are going through/what you have been though. I am 16 years old, and my little brother Jacob is 15 years old. On January 15th of this year, Jacob was diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma. The ex-rays revealed "a large mass 13cm x 14cm" residing in his chest cavity. The cancer had collapsed a lung and was pushing against his heart. It was a long night consisting of doctors draining a liter of fluid from his lung, putting him on iv's and breathing machines, and transferring him to another hospital via ambulance. He stayed in the ICU at Children's Medical Center of Dallas for 7 days. The doctors said that he is lucky to be alive, and that if he hadn't have had mono, he wouldn't be here. All that to say, I am praying for you and Stephany as you continue to battle Willis!! Side note: Justin, please reach out to me. Jacob is a fishing freak, and it would really lift his spirits to hear from you or the Googan Squad!!
I've been praying for your brother! Ik this seems really wierd but I know about his situation because my sister goes to Hillsdale college with your older sister. Such a strange small world. God bless you and your family!
Damn bro so sorry to hear this. My dad was 69 and diagnosed with glioblastoma. It’s a horrible cancer. 11 months and I lost him. But live everyday like it’s your last as you know. Keep making videos because you may not realize how many people your touching with your story. Praying for you friend.🙏
My thoughts and prayers are with you Justin. 🙏 There is NO DOUBT in anyone’s mind that with your support system and YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE that you WILL DEFEAT WILLIS! 🙏 My wife and I have both recently lost our fathers to cancer so this hits us particularly hard. Love always Scott & Erica ❤️
Thank you for sharing, I saw your first brain surgery blog as I was researching... (my daughter has had 4 aneurysms removed from the circle of Willis) and seeing your blog helped us through her second surgery good luck in your recovery 🙂
Hope you are doing well now. My father (53 years old) is currently dealing with Glioblastoma Multiforme. He had a mass, pretty much the same size of yours in a similar area. His tumor messed up his speech and memory quite a bit. He got it removed And is doing alright for now, But unfortunately his diagnosis is terminal. Always live every day like your last. Love those close to you deeply. Leave those you love with wonderful memories. Never know when it will be your last.
I actually found your site just as willis came to light, I seen you day in day out so positive and not letting anything get in your stride. I am diagnosed with a Genetic blood disorder which turns out to be fatal, no cure for, no medicine no nothing, my life was in the pits until i found people like you Sir - honest - decent - positive - peaceful by which i mean, ie:- when your all together ( say googans ) your always the laid back the chilled wise one. I have shut myself away from everybody for the past 7 years. I bought my first rod and kit because of you, i love watching you all - lunkers - googan squad - demolitia ... Today my friend is the first time i have seen you look like the wind has been taken out of ya. YOU must keep positive - i fully agree stay home more, them two girls need you, hell we all need you justin - I lves in the UK so sod all i can do about anything apart from say one to the bigman for you and the family . Peace be withyou my friend. :) Mark.
my aunt is going through surgery wednsday for a tumor she has. its behind her right ear, with your story i now know wat to expect and how to help so thanks so much and i will definity be praying for you and you family! good luck with your treatment!
Hey bud. Chin up. You have a great attitude about your situation, and it seems like you have a wonderful support system. Your living well. Keep it up. God bless
Circle of Willis, very important structures of the brain, Jesus protect you, your health, your family and their health! Prayers brother, my prayers for you!
My sincere prayers dear hv watched ua videos from the day u were in an hotel on ua way to the hospital for brain surgery n the day the bandage was removed .May God intervene and b strong it's shall b well.From Kenya
I have been putting off going in for my checkup I had a brain tumor also massive surgery size of my fist. I just had my three-year mark it’s been easy to make up excuses not to go in. I guess it’s not fair for my family I hope the best for you and your family. So....I’ll make the appointment tomorrow🙂
Please make that ampt.... I understand not going in..ive done the same with my cancer dr...i had a change of mind and it made a diffrence had i not went in i wouldnt be here...please please go in.
I have watched your videos chronicling your tumor journey and I am so glad I found them, I was diagnosed with my Meningioma 3 years ago and even though it is slow growing it has always affected me with annoying side effects like vertigo, dizziness, headaches, etc and occasionally nerve pain...mine is also near the main arteries and close to the optic nerve on the right, it is only a little over 2cm but it is pressing on major arteries and nerves so I am having the surgery on Mar 7 to resection as well. It has really helped to watch your videos and ease my fears about surgery because I could see the effects and recovery in real life and I am also going to Dr Kim so I know I am getting the best neurosurgeon I can. Once again thanks for making the videos, they do help and I will continue to look for future updates. (I'm sorry to say I am not watching for the fishing angle but I found your videos when researching brain surgery) Keep fighting, best wishes to you and your family! I have also researched Gamma Knife when it was a possibility in my initial treatment and they have been doing it at Memorial Hermann since 1993 (they were the first in Houston to have it) so you will continue to be in good hands!
My heart goes out to you! I have heard of this treatment and has actually saved people with worse off people then you. Matter of fact, didnt have names for some of the ailments they were dealing with. It has been some time that i have heard about this person but the last I had heard had a clean bill of health and that was when it was still experiemental. Prayers go out to you from myself and Im sure many other folks! And that is a invitation to all of you that would give this man a prayer! Thank you!
I found out that I also have a Willis 1-8-22 after having serve headaches. I wish you the best my friend. Keep up being you. I love your content. Your positivity will pay all these dividends. And get us through this 🤙🏻
Young man,you have lots more fish of catch...stay positive u will beat this. I've been fighting leukemia for 2yrs thought I was done but here I am.Stay aggie strong God bless.
I recently subscribed after watching a couple of your videos. Then suddenly out of nowhere I get to the videos of you talking about your tumor. My initial thought was heartbreak! That lasted about 15 seconds until I saw your positive attitude and your wife’s. I turn 51 tomorrow and I realized from your attitude that I still have much to learn. You are inspiring. God bless you and your family and I will pray for a fantastic outcome.
I remember you going through this for the first time. I just got diagnosed with two of them, from seeing you go through it I’m confident I’ll be okay. We’ll get through this
TY, for being so open regarding this. You’re helping most def. I don’t have a tumor but am slowly recovering from a head injury per surfing. Outdoors, we’re always my element, as well. Literally, been on bed rest for some time but yes, faith is paramount. Your attitude last year, was great considering. Continued prayers & never lose heart, brother, he knows our suffering. Much mahalo!
I will being praying for you brother, i know God has a purpose and plan for you to touch peoples lives and you have been doing a fantastic job.. all of our brothers and sisters in Christ will be praying for Willis to go away ... Always keep your head up and walk with the Lord and you will always be fine. God , family , Country 🙏👍🧠👌
Whatchoo talking bout willis!? Kick ass & take names! You guys are genuine folks. Faith & family. My house will lift your family up in prayer. God bless you!!
I'll be praying for you also. I've watched your videos on TV but never subscribed and I have no clue why. My friend and I fish all the time and really enjoy your videos. Your wife and baby are beautiful. I prayed for you before and now I will again. Hang in there, you can defeat this!
I always put a smile on my face. I never admit just how aweful I feel or how much pain I'm in. But when I'm by myself I eat ice cream and have a little pitty party or pissed off party. Lol. It keeps me going to drop the charade once in a while and honestly, ice cream makes everything better for a bit. Lol. Praying for you and your family.
I am praying for you. I was diagnosed July 2018 with the same brain tumor and had it partially removed in August 2018. The tumor was wrapped around my carotid artery and optic nerve so I am going blind in my left eye. I am going back for my 6 month check-up in March and get the results from my MRI. I'm so sorry you are going through this but you have been such a blessing to me to be able to follow your story. May God bless you and I will continue to pray for you.
With God all things are possible.( Matthew19:26) Love your Channel, God has a plan for you and wants you to lean in him first. You are in my families morning prayers. Stay strong brother!
I know this is a old vid but it hits very close to home. Your attitude and positive outlook is a tremendous inspiration to me. Thank you and God bless you and your family. "Family first" we all need tha reminder.
7:10 circle of Willis is what you are referring to. It is actually super cool how it routes blood around the brain and can possibly save someone from dying of a ischemic stroke.
Justin , your courage in facing this adversity is nothing short of inspiring....I know you got a bit of a setback with this news but you sure hit it out of the park with your wife and baby....praying for life to get back to normal for you guys, soon , ....keep kicking ass......
Sorry to hear this Man. Our family has been going through the same thing. Have you tried the Ketogenic Diet? My wife has had her 3rd resection 4 days ago. The keto diet has been an amazing way to starve the Cancer cells along with radiation and chemo. Starve Willis! I hope all the best. You got this man!
I completely understand what you and your wife are going thru. I had a very rare tumor in my back that grew back 4 times, each time it grew back it was big than what was removed. I spent from 92 thru 98 in hospitals and chemo studies. To finally be cancer tumor free , I lost part of pelvis , plates off vertebra and 75% of muscle from chest to below the waist on right side of my back. You stay positive and on the bad days lean on your support system ( your wife and your parents) we are all pulling for you!!!
Stay strong and keep on fighting. I'm 23 and just got diagnosed with a brain tumor doctor is sure its benign due to its size, but caught it from sudden onset double vision. Staying positive through the whole thing. Ready to be done with it. I'll name mine too! But awesome that your staying positive we gotta be strong for our family and friends. Hardest thing about all this is staying still in the damn MRI!! God bless you and I'll pray for your recovery!
Just watched your vlogs regarding your tumors, surgeries etc. Going thru a very similar situation myself right now. Wanted to let you know just how sorry I was feeling for myself because of my diagnosis but listening to you and the energy you put out made me realize that I need to get up off my butt, get out there and enjoy my wife, my work and most importantly, my life. Thank you and my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. God bless you.
Stay strong my brother you WILL get through this again. Most important just keep being you man, we all love you and your family. Go get Willis blasted and keep on danglin'

My SO did the same too me when I got sick. Turned into a resentful alcoholic. Now I have a great partner who supports me.
Crohns is a terrible disease that alot of people don't even know about I have 2 friends with it. They can hardly eat anything despite numerous surgeries. Hang in there. I hope you find a good woman to help you along. God bless.

Hi Joshhhh!
This is why I watch lfg and blacktiph, they are some real people with real problems and they have trust in the man up stairs. Very nice seeing how faithful they are and it's good motivation to make myself a better Christian.
Amen Josh
Trust in modern science more!
Amen!!!
God Bless you in your trying time. Like many of your other viewers, I had stage 4 cancer in my spine. That was 1998 and now I am 77 years old and enjoying your fishing program.
Man, 77, you are a trooper!
Glad your still here with us! Defeating the odds 💪🏽
Was it terminal?
Hate to hear this man, but I'm sure you will defeat Willis once again!!!
Prayers for you and your family 😎😎😎

@Miki what is your definition of "Chi Power"?
I am sorry for your loss. I like to think a cure is in the near future!

Hey buddy, I'll be praying for you and your wife for peace and strength. Love your attitude going back into this battle with Wilson. I had a stroke in my brain stem that has left me weak and uncoordinated on my left side. But through God's grace, I can walk and use my arm and hand. I am so proud of you and your family's Faith that He has a plan for you. Stay strong. Love you brother.
What a GREAT attitude YOU have, Terry Usher, Bless you!!!
Keep looking UP!!!!
You did it once you can do it again. Stay strong bud.
My niece had a similar tumor and the drs did the same procedure you are having now and it worked. The tumor is completely gone. You are a very positive person. I now is going to work for you too. I keep you in my prayers.
Hey! Wish you and your family the best in this fight against Willis. You beat him once and you can do it again! Be strong! Stay positive! Take all the time you need to get this settled. We love ya man!

Sorry dude. That sucks. Live life well. Enjoy trout when you can, it’s family and life. Nobody knows their date.. but you seem like a good man. Love your family and live your life. It looks like you have a good one. Fight hard brother
My mom just went through brain surgery and just waiting for the pathology report. It’s nerve wreaking to wait! Thank you for making these videos, it’s been helpful in these uncertain times.
I’m praying for you man🙏, everything will be alright
Why did you use the high five emoji
Ike Brofvloski That’s a prayer emoji lmao
Na that’s the useless emoji because seriously why would u ever use an emoji
I have had surgery behind left eye. I did not have good experience but I am a outdoors person myself and find peace there. I was opened ear to ear and had staples from ear to ear. Your not feeling yourself for a reason. Its a hard thing but be brave. Your a strong soul. I'd hate to recommend it but monitoring everything necessary. The universe wants you in it. Your a beautiful spirit and Stephanie is needing you along with your family. Bless you.
My girlfriends dad had a brain tumor two years back. Our whole town huddled around them and supported them and prayed for them and it was gone in two months. No explanation for it, just prayer. Just pray and trust God has a plan. That’s all you can do. I’ll be praying for y’all man
Praying for perfect treatment with no long term issues . God bless !!!
Wives are wonderful! Praying for your family as well .
My own tumor just came back. Hopefully by now you've taken care of this issue and came out of it OK. I'm waiting to hear from my doc to set up timing, etc. Am posting almost daily about the actual surgery which was supposed to take care of this, but now, only 6 months later, here I am again. It's a rotten break, but it is what it is. Love your attitude and hope you are doing well. Subscribing right now. Keep the faith.
So sorry for this news Justin! I know it’s not what you guys wanted to hear. Stay strong lean on your strong family and your faith. They will see you through this! Proverbs 3:5-6!!!!
I hate that, stay strong. Family and faith is everything.
Thank you for sharing your journey my husband has a pituitary tumor and it is growing. He has a huge passion for being in the outdoors hunting and fishing. We just love watching your channel. Thanks again.
Why does bad stuff always happen to good people it blows my mind I don't get it it makes me mad 😠 stay strong my friend and God bless you🙏
Dean Fulford bad stuff happens to everyone.
Sometimes it happens because a darn doctor is envious to someone, and wants them dead. Sometimes also doctors look to steal, a wife. Killing makes it an easy go afterwards. Truth.
@@ikstrucking3289 wtf?
Billy Joel said it best, only the good die young. Nice guys finish last my friend
Ivan Konstantinov I don’t know about all that
Justin,
I can kinda relate to what you are going through/what you have been though. I am 16 years old, and my little brother Jacob is 15 years old. On January 15th of this year, Jacob was diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma. The ex-rays revealed "a large mass 13cm x 14cm" residing in his chest cavity. The cancer had collapsed a lung and was pushing against his heart. It was a long night consisting of doctors draining a liter of fluid from his lung, putting him on iv's and breathing machines, and transferring him to another hospital via ambulance. He stayed in the ICU at Children's Medical Center of Dallas for 7 days. The doctors said that he is lucky to be alive, and that if he hadn't have had mono, he wouldn't be here. All that to say, I am praying for you and Stephany as you continue to battle Willis!!
Side note: Justin, please reach out to me. Jacob is a fishing freak, and it would really lift his spirits to hear from you or the Googan Squad!!
I've been praying for your brother! Ik this seems really wierd but I know about his situation because my sister goes to Hillsdale college with your older sister. Such a strange small world. God bless you and your family!
@@kopbod8285 that's so cool. It really is a small world! Thanks for the prayers!
Damn bro so sorry to hear this. My dad was 69 and diagnosed with glioblastoma. It’s a horrible cancer. 11 months and I lost him. But live everyday like it’s your last as you know. Keep making videos because you may not realize how many people your touching with your story. Praying for you friend.🙏
Take it one step at a time. One cast at a time. Listen to the advice to doctors give you. Take the treatment and hang on to your faith.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Justin. 🙏 There is NO DOUBT in anyone’s mind that with your support system and YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE that you WILL DEFEAT WILLIS! 🙏 My wife and I have both recently lost our fathers to cancer so this hits us particularly hard. Love always Scott & Erica ❤️
Thank you for sharing, I saw your first brain surgery blog as I was researching... (my daughter has had 4 aneurysms removed from the circle of Willis) and seeing your blog helped us through her second surgery good luck in your recovery 🙂
You are in our prayers. God bless.
i said it on the family channel video...you should make a "whatchu talkin bout willis" shirt. someone out there can make it funny and fishing related,
Hope you are doing well now.
My father (53 years old) is currently dealing with Glioblastoma Multiforme. He had a mass, pretty much the same size of yours in a similar area. His tumor messed up his speech and memory quite a bit. He got it removed And is doing alright for now, But unfortunately his diagnosis is terminal.
Always live every day like your last. Love those close to you deeply. Leave those you love with wonderful memories. Never know when it will be your last.
I actually found your site just as willis came to light, I seen you day in day out so positive and not letting anything get in your stride. I am diagnosed with a Genetic blood disorder which turns out to be fatal, no cure for, no medicine no nothing, my life was in the pits until i found people like you Sir - honest - decent - positive - peaceful by which i mean, ie:- when your all together ( say googans ) your always the laid back the chilled wise one. I have shut myself away from everybody for the past 7 years. I bought my first rod and kit because of you, i love watching you all - lunkers - googan squad - demolitia ... Today my friend is the first time i have seen you look like the wind has been taken out of ya. YOU must keep positive - i fully agree stay home more, them two girls need you, hell we all need you justin - I lves in the UK so sod all i can do about anything apart from say one to the bigman for you and the family .
Peace be withyou my friend. :)
Mark.
Good luck my friend, praying hard for you and your family....

Hey bud. Chin up. You have a great attitude about your situation, and it seems like you have a wonderful support system. Your living well. Keep it up. God bless
Circle of Willis, very important structures of the brain, Jesus protect you, your health, your family and their health! Prayers brother, my prayers for you!
My sincere prayers dear hv watched ua videos from the day u were in an hotel on ua way to the hospital for brain surgery n the day the bandage was removed .May God intervene and b strong it's shall b well.From Kenya
I have been putting off going in for my checkup I had a brain tumor also massive surgery size of my fist. I just had my three-year mark it’s been easy to make up excuses not to go in. I guess it’s not fair for my family I hope the best for you and your family. So....I’ll make the appointment tomorrow🙂
Please do make that appointment Sarah. We're behind you also keeping you in our prayers.
Please make that ampt.... I understand not going in..ive done the same with my cancer dr...i had a change of mind and it made a diffrence had i not went in i wouldnt be here...please please go in.
Hey man, I'll be praying for you!!! Stay strong and keep praying!!!
I have watched your videos chronicling your tumor journey and I am so glad I found them, I was diagnosed with my Meningioma 3 years ago and even though it is slow growing it has always affected me with annoying side effects like vertigo, dizziness, headaches, etc and occasionally nerve pain...mine is also near the main arteries and close to the optic nerve on the right, it is only a little over 2cm but it is pressing on major arteries and nerves so I am having the surgery on Mar 7 to resection as well. It has really helped to watch your videos and ease my fears about surgery because I could see the effects and recovery in real life and I am also going to Dr Kim so I know I am getting the best neurosurgeon I can. Once again thanks for making the videos, they do help and I will continue to look for future updates. (I'm sorry to say I am not watching for the fishing angle but I found your videos when researching brain surgery) Keep fighting, best wishes to you and your family!
I have also researched Gamma Knife when it was a possibility in my initial treatment and they have been doing it at Memorial Hermann since 1993 (they were the first in Houston to have it) so you will continue to be in good hands!
Good luck LFG your in my prayers
Justin just keep thinking of what the lord says in Jeremiah 29:11. All of us fishing freaks are praying you on.
My heart goes out to you! I have heard of this treatment and has actually saved people with worse off people then you. Matter of fact, didnt have names for some of the ailments they were dealing with. It has been some time that i have heard about this person but the last I had heard had a clean bill of health and that was when it was still experiemental. Prayers go out to you from myself and Im sure many other folks! And that is a invitation to all of you that would give this man a prayer! Thank you!
Dang I hate that for ya man. Keep fighting and do what the docs tell ya man.
Man this scares me. Stay strong, you’re in my prayers.
I found out that I also have a Willis 1-8-22 after having serve headaches. I wish you the best my friend. Keep up being you. I love your content. Your positivity will pay all these dividends. And get us through this 🤙🏻
Young man,you have lots more fish of catch...stay positive u will beat this. I've been fighting leukemia for 2yrs thought I was done but here I am.Stay aggie strong God bless.
I hope you're still fighting strong!
Stay strong! Cancer is a hard thing to beat! I still have the shirt from last time!
I recently subscribed after watching a couple of your videos. Then suddenly out of nowhere I get to the videos of you talking about your tumor. My initial thought was heartbreak! That lasted about 15 seconds until I saw your positive attitude and your wife’s. I turn 51 tomorrow and I realized from your attitude that I still have much to learn. You are inspiring. God bless you and your family and I will pray for a fantastic outcome.
I remember you going through this for the first time. I just got diagnosed with two of them, from seeing you go through it I’m confident I’ll be okay. We’ll get through this
Hope you’re doing well man 🙏
Prayers and God bless. Wishing you a successful recovery
TY, for being so open regarding this. You’re helping most def. I don’t have a tumor but am slowly recovering from a head injury per surfing. Outdoors, we’re always my element, as well. Literally, been on bed rest for some time but yes, faith is paramount. Your attitude last year, was great considering. Continued prayers & never lose heart, brother, he knows our suffering. Much mahalo!
The Gamma knife has been used for years. It's awesome and has saved so many people. Get it done ASAP.
I will being praying for you brother, i know God has a purpose and plan for you to touch peoples lives and you have been doing a fantastic job.. all of our brothers and sisters in Christ will be praying for Willis to go away ... Always keep your head up and walk with the Lord and you will always be fine. God , family , Country 🙏👍🧠👌
Whatchoo talking bout willis!? Kick ass & take names! You guys are genuine folks. Faith & family. My house will lift your family up in prayer. God bless you!!
My wife and I are on your side. We wish you a quick resolution to the Willis problem.
Sad sad sad take care and be strong I just got this video 20/12/2019 I’m in Scotland
I'll be praying for you also. I've watched your videos on TV but never subscribed and I have no clue why. My friend and I fish all the time and really enjoy your videos. Your wife and baby are beautiful. I prayed for you before and now I will again. Hang in there, you can defeat this!
I'll be praying for you bro love the videos stay positive God is watching out for yours
I always put a smile on my face. I never admit just how aweful I feel or how much pain I'm in. But when I'm by myself I eat ice cream and have a little pitty party or pissed off party. Lol. It keeps me going to drop the charade once in a while and honestly, ice cream makes everything better for a bit. Lol. Praying for you and your family.
I am praying for you. I was diagnosed July 2018 with the same brain tumor and had it partially removed in August 2018. The tumor was wrapped around my carotid artery and optic nerve so I am going blind in my left eye. I am going back for my 6 month check-up in March and get the results from my MRI. I'm so sorry you are going through this but you have been such a blessing to me to be able to follow your story. May God bless you and I will continue to pray for you.
Tough to watch, but the ending is the best, "I love you guys". 1 Corinthians 13:2
With God all things are possible.( Matthew19:26)
Love your Channel, God has a plan for you and wants you to lean in him first. You are in my families morning prayers. Stay strong brother!
*on him not in him
Oohh bible off
So why would you interfere with god's plan?
I know this is a old vid but it hits very close to home. Your attitude and positive outlook is a tremendous inspiration to me.
Thank you and God bless you and your family.
"Family first" we all need tha reminder.
Hope you get better soon much prayers
Prayers and much love brother 🤙🏻
Get in the Word Bro...Prayers for you and the Family.
7:10 circle of Willis is what you are referring to. It is actually super cool how it routes blood around the brain and can possibly save someone from dying of a ischemic stroke.
Prayers for you and the family. You can do this.
Blessings man!! Thanks for all your content and I admire you for how you handle this situation. You are as strong as they come.
Justin , your courage in facing this adversity is nothing short of inspiring....I know you got a bit of a setback with this news but you sure hit it out of the park with your wife and baby....praying for life to get back to normal for you guys, soon , ....keep kicking ass......
No no no
so Sorry compadre me duele mucho lo que estás pasando
Sorry to hear this Man. Our family has been going through the same thing. Have you tried the Ketogenic Diet? My wife has had her 3rd resection 4 days ago. The keto diet has been an amazing way to starve the Cancer cells along with radiation and chemo. Starve Willis! I hope all the best. You got this man!
I completely understand what you and your wife are going thru. I had a very rare tumor in my back that grew back 4 times, each time it grew back it was big than what was removed. I spent from 92 thru 98 in hospitals and chemo studies. To finally be cancer tumor free , I lost part of pelvis , plates off vertebra and 75% of muscle from chest to below the waist on right side of my back. You stay positive and on the bad days lean on your support system ( your wife and your parents) we are all pulling for you!!!
prayers for ya bud,you got this!
God bless you brother! I'll be praying for you and your family! I know you can beat this!
Stay strong and keep on fighting. I'm 23 and just got diagnosed with a brain tumor doctor is sure its benign due to its size, but caught it from sudden onset double vision. Staying positive through the whole thing. Ready to be done with it. I'll name mine too! But awesome that your staying positive we gotta be strong for our family and friends. Hardest thing about all this is staying still in the damn MRI!! God bless you and I'll pray for your recovery!
Give em hell man! Really inspired by your videos. Everything that happens is for the best!
Love how you stay so strong and positive. Keep doing what your doing and Willis is going down💪
Just watched your vlogs regarding your tumors, surgeries etc. Going thru a very similar situation myself right now. Wanted to let you know just how sorry I was feeling for myself because of my diagnosis but listening to you and the energy you put out made me realize that I need to get up off my butt, get out there and enjoy my wife, my work and most importantly, my life. Thank you and my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. God bless you.
Stay strong my brother you WILL get through this again. Most important just keep being you man, we all love you and your family. Go get Willis blasted and keep on danglin'
