    Good Morning reptile Army! Happy Saturday! I know this was a heavy video and I am sorry to be a downer when all I want to do is lift you up. But I also want you too see what my life is really like. I consider you all family and I want to share everything with you. Hope you don't mind. Also thank you to everyone that shaved their head for me for this video. I had no idea that Jay reached out to people to do this. So I found out the same time as you as I watched the vlog. I truly appreciate all of you and love you so much! Brian

And I'm sure many others have the same story. Can you imagine how many animals have great lives due to the love you have shown so many? I can never thank you enough. Stay strong Brian. ❤

    I am a 41 (Birthday was yesterday) with my hair all the way down to my bottom. I made an appointment tomorrow to cut my hair off in a ponytail from the neck & donate it to cancer patients & then shaving the rest of it in solidarity. We love you, Brian! We love you no matter what you weigh, look like, the length of your hair or what the future holds. We love you way more than our own hair & to feel so powerless to be able to help you aside from donating to the Legacy Aquarium, being able to stand next to you in your time of need, bald, just makes what is so scary and uncertain, a little more light hearted. ❤🎗️

    I remember when the channel had about 100,000 subscribers. You always dreamed big and worked so hard to make your dreams a reality! Your hair will grow back once you beat this cancer. You are the same person you've always been through these year's, nothing has changed. Your drive, your compassion, your love for reptiles, your vision's for BHB, The New Caledonia room, The reptarium 1.0, 2.0 & the Legacy Aquarium all came from your dream's.

    It's ok Brian. I started losing my hair 2 weeks after I started chemo and it was hard but I decided to take the high road and I shaved my head. I embraced the bald and 6 months later it started growing back. I'll be visiting you in June and I have a special gift for you that I will be bringing with me. I arrive in Detroit on the 20th and I'll see you soon after. Until then, embrace the positive. Sending hugs, Kathy

      I balled like a baby when I saw Lori get emotional. She has this “tough lady don’t care what you think” persona but deep down she really is a sweet sweet soft hearted woman that’s hurting more than all of us combined watching her life partner go thru this and there is absolutely nothing she can do to make it better for Brian. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this is for not just Brian but Lori and Noah!!!!!
      Lori, you are a wonderful wife, mom, and woman!!!! You and Noah are in my thoughts everyday. And my prayers everyday. Brian is too but I don’t think you and Noah get enough love or support for the way you support Brian. I believe with all my heart Brian is who he is because of her. Stay strong Lori. I know this can’t be easy for you. And to go thru it in front of the world…. Has to be even more difficult. You are as much an inspiration to me as Brian has been. We need more women in this world like you.
      Brian, I know that was hard to do. But you took in stride. And the hair cut, no it’s not the brian we are used too, but it’s still Brian. And it looks amazing. He did an amazing job on your hair.
      We love you Brian. And your true fans/followers are here with you every single step of the way!!! You got this Brian!!!!!

    It wasn't just hair, it was a choice, one of the many that is taken from you when you start a journey such as this. When you're feeling sad about it, allow yourself that! Do not tell yourself "it's just hair". You may feel you're losing pieces of yourself, but you are and always will be Brian Barczyk. 💚 Much love for you, your family and friends, and the Reptile Army!

And we all know you gotta look like s*** at some point For the chemo to do its job and beat the cancer so maybe it's a good thing Maybe with all of the physical changes maybe next time you go in there to the doctors. Maybe he will have some good news like it's stopped growing.

I can’t think of anything more meaningful. Blessings to you and your family and crew as you go through these difficult days.

    This took me through the emotional wringer! I'm sorry about your hair. I know it was something you were worried about in the beginning. The haircut looks great! As I was crying with you; Jay shaved his head. The explosion of warmth in my heart was immense!! And with the other people shaving their heads too, WOW! Yes it was sad to see you hurting but the love for you is overflowing. We're all here for you!! Big hugs and love from Kansas City ❤ #BrianStrong #ReptileArmy

    You're such an inspiration, Brian. You got my wife over her fear of big snakes and other reptiles. She went from liking snakes no bigger than ball pythons to falling in love with retics because of you. It's not your hair, tattoos, or weight but your heart and the love you have for your animals that defines who you are. We're both praying for you to beat this.

My dad is a cancer survivor and I know I hid on the days I found tough from friends and family….you are such a strong person! Your heart and passion for your reptiles and family (staff included) is what defines you! Your hair will grow back one day, warning it may come in curly or different texture then what you have now. Stay strong, stay positive your going to beat cancer

    • @mookinbabysealfurmittens
      @mookinbabysealfurmittens Год назад

      ​@@sheilastaneart9469 He's surely seen the posts. Friend, I know you want to help, but this isn't it. (It's a giant faux pas to give a current or planning chemo patient suggestions for "alternative treatments", especially doing it a lot.) Fwiw he has a _team_ of doctors & medical staff looking after him, and plus, they can coordinate with other doctors. And, if at any point he feels that he needs additional "not just meds" help, he can get a doctor specialising in palliative care. (To be clear: it's not just for folks "near the end"; they help patients who are really struggling but very much can recover, as he can. I can feel it in my bones.🩵)
      Also... For your own well being, do be careful (& frankly sceptical) about "alternative" or "holistic" stuff like this "Metabolic therapy"; it's a farce. It's just a "holistic" grab-bag of some of the usual suspects of the alternative therapy world (keto is just Atkins, for example, & diabetics are risking their lives with those). And that world is mostly scams by greedy liars - and don't get me wrong, I'm not faulting you! They're good at the con, acting like they care and then up-selling you faff & woo. I hope I don't sound grumpy, but if I do, please be assured that my problem is not with you at all, but with these snake-oil salesmen who shamelessly bilk money from people with cancer. Despicable. It really gets to me every time.
      I hope you have a nice day. 💚

    What an incredible vlog, boys. I cried so much. I'm a female but am actually debating shaving my head in honour of Brian. He has been such an inspiration for me for the last 10 years. I've been watching since the snakebytes day and have t missed a single video. I'm blessed to have had the honor of meeting Brian at our tour of the reptarium. He is such a strong and determined man that I just know he will beat this monster! You've got this, Brian! We all love you and need you with us for decades to come!

    I just came across this video. I had hair down to the middle of my back and after diagnosis of breast cancer and subsequent treatments, my hair started coming out in great chunks. I completely shaved my head so i didn't have to see it falling out. It was horribly traumatic. I am so sorry that the cancer took your hair and so sad that you lost your battle to cancer. Cancer freakin sucks.
    RIP Brian. Love to Lori, Noah, and the crew!!

    I know your hair was a big part of you. Honestly I like the shorter version! You can beat it. Not every day is a good day… and it’s ok. You are Brian that has cancer NOT cancer whose name is Brian. You ARE NOT THE DISEASE! You are the caretaker of reptiles, a teacher of what most people are afraid of..a husband, a dad, and a grandpa and also a dear friend to a lot of people. One step at a time.

I can understand what your hair means to you but it doesn’t define you! You are so much more than your hair! You are an amazing person and a gift from God! You are so strong even on the days that you don’t feel it! You will beat this and be a stronger person. Lori is an amazing woman! I am so thankful that you have her to hold your hand through this. Don’t ever apologize for making the sad videos bc we want to see them too! You have so many people supporting you. You have touched a lot of lives! Sending so much love to you, Lori, and the rest of your loved ones bc I know it hard for them too.

    ❤❤❤ We love you Brian!!!! I know that Cancer is a horrible thing to have to endure and I know first hand as I've lost my mother in law to it after over a ten year battle and I luckily still have my Dad after he fought with all his mite to overcome his battle with Leukemia! I thank God everyday for each and every day that my Dad is able to be in our lives as I just can't imagine a life without him he's my hero and has given me, my mom, and now my little boy such an incredible life filled with love, compassion, and knowledge that im able to pass on to my son and I know that I wouldn't be here today if not for the man and father he has been to me the post 40 years!!! I know that he knows but I cannot say it enough I LOVE YOU DAD! With that being said I know we don't know each other Brian but from what I know of you over the years from your vlog and other videos the world is a better place because you are in it you have touched countless lives of the people that follow you and let's not forget the animals that live wonderful lives as a direct result of the way you face each and every day with unrelenting love and compassion! I know I'm only one comment amongst countless others but if by chance you are able to read this I want you to know that you are strong and have the love and support of so many and while this may be a big bump in your road of life I know you can overcome this obstacle like you have so many others! Please don't ever give up fighting because the world is a far better place with you in it and while the future may seem bleak just remember this can be overcome my dad is living proof!!! You got this Brian and btw despite the fact it was tough to cut your hair it still looks great and classy and when times are tough and your maybe feeling bummed about having to cut it just remind yourself it is going to grow back and this too shall pass!!! We love you Brian and hang in there you got this!

    Growing up I loved animals, and specifically reptiles. You have always been a hero of mine and an inspiration. At this point I’m in charge of the reptile department in my local pet store. Recently I found out one of my favorite and best local breeders worked with you quite a bit before RUclips was really a thing and he considers you to be a friend. He’s older and isn’t very adept at using todays technology but we want you to know that we are following your progress and wishing you the best. Much love from Kansas City. You’ve got this and we are all waiting for the day you beat this.
