- Here's a little bit of how I've been feeling, what I've been up to, and how I'm trying to process everything as the wild breast cancer experience continues. It's been nice to film some of it, helps me gather my thoughts. Let me know if this is helpful or at all interesting for you too.

An uncomfortable Grace is the most relatable Grace. Thank you for sharing your journey. Your body is doing superhero things right now
Thank you Julie!!!
Possibly the best video you have ever created. All the emotions, all the feels, all the character.
Hey Grace....I truly HOPE you read this...My mother had the big C as you do in the exact same areas....We tried everything the Doctors recommended. NOTHING worked....UNTIL...We introduced RSO OIL into her daily regimen. She is now 1000000% C FREE!!!! Its called RICK SIMPSON OIL and the testimonials are all over YT and the internet!!!!!! It is EASILY obtained and the braaaand my Mom used was WONDER OIL....Full spectrum. Do your research...but IT WORKS!~!!!!! WE LOVE YOU AND WANT TO SEE YOU LIVE!!! =) @@itsgrace
Grace saying the phrases “you know what that means” and “can you see it?” Is just like a warm blanket reminder of classic grace mixed with the vulnerability of this grace is so delightful to be able to see
omg she unlocked a long lost teenage version me when she said 'It's Tuesday and you know what that means' and of course 'can you see it' - DailyGrace brought me up and feels the least I can do is virtually go through this experience with her. Keeping updated through every step of her journey/progress. If you're reading this Grace - we've got you. Thank you for being you. Sending so much love and strength xx
I agree, my face couldn't hold my smile when she said 'Can you see it!?' ❤
New viewers alert new viewers alert
I love it! Nostalgic 😂😊
but could you see it? (i also loved that part :,))
I have MISSED the 'Can you see it, can you see it, can you see it.' I say it ALL the time 😊
Same! I had to explain the whole reference to my husband, since I say it so often.
It’s a classic!
@@itsgraceHappy Birthday!!
Same same. It’s not even words when I do it anymore 😂
I say it all the time to my kids lol they have no idea where it came from
I saw Elliot's birthday post about how you are the kind of person to bring the nurses cookies on your birthday. Keep it up Grace. Your kindness and generosity has inspired millions.
Really appreciate you keeping the crying scenes in & letting the world see you vulnerable. Like you said it’s unrealistic to pretend like everything is fine & dandy through this process. You’re half way there, you’ve got this!
Happy belated birthday!!! How is it I've watched you for so many years and I never knew we had the same birthday??? Crazy. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Do not be afraid to be a couch potato. Lots of rest and relaxation feels great when fatigued
Grace. You’ve given us SO many laughs over the years. The least we could do in return is take your tears. We’ve got you.
This is such a nice comment
I'm 27 and deal with an chronic autoimmune condition that is treated with infusions and chemo and it is SO REFRESHING to see another young woman actually discussing the highs and lows of treatment, sending so much love!! (Also, you introduced me to the joy of sweatshirts with zips on the arm for IVs and I'm obsessed).
Yesss the zip access is amazing!
Where do you buy them please?
@@queens6583she talked about it in her first chemo vlog. I don’t think she said a brand (although I could be wrong) but I believe she said it came from Amazon.
As the sibling of someone with cancer, you don’t have to entertain us. We just want to be with you. I saw her “I really am sick” moment and I (and your brother, I promise) just want you to be comfortable when we’re there. ❤❤❤
Best love to you and your sibling ❤
This is mighty parasocial of me, but when you started tearing up I started crying! I think because I’ve been a big fan since 2011, and 12 years is a long time. Thank you for being emotionally vulnerable in this video, I’m sure that was scary to share. You have cultivated a beautiful, weird community over the years and we got your back.
It's not parasocial to feel close to another soul, you're doing everything right and this was a lovely moment to share ❤
Don't worry, it's not parasocial, it's just you showing compassion, empathy, & sympathy! I'm sure even if it was someone else you saw struggling that you would feel something for them. That's just human nature. That being said, of course it's gonna hit even harder & you are gonna care when someone you've been looking up to/supporting for years is the one going through it.
Also the definition of parasocial is as follows: "Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware of the other's existence"
Ik Grace isn't aware of each one of us as individuals but she does say she reads the comments & she responds to some when she can....on top of that these vlogs are very personal & she's talking directly to us. She's definitely not completely unaware of our existence lol. I think there are truly unhealthy parasocial relationships out there but this one doesn't fit that description 🙂
Isn't it incredible that you've been on the internet for 12 years and all these years later we get to see the very best version of you that's ever existed? It's so inspiring.
This might be the most honest video ever posted on RUclips. As someone that lost a brother in law to cancer in his late 20’s, it’s probably impossible to comprehend how many other cancer survivors will watch this video and appreciate that you took the time to make it. I know that had this been around during his battle, he would have appreciated it and it would have made him feel just a little better. Thank you.
Awww I've really missed seeing Tim. So glad y'all got to spend time together! Also wondering if anyone else had a Daily Grace flashback when you said, "It's Tuesday and you know what that means." Happy belated birthday!! Continuing to send you all the love and healing vibes.
Thank you for being so generous of yourself, humanity, and vulnerability, Grace! My mom had cancer before I was born and doesn’t like to talk about it much, so I feel like I’m learning more about pieces of her through you. Rooting for you always!
Oh man, that “CAN YOU SEE IT” sent me back in tiiiiime 😂 Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us about your journey - you is brave 💜
“Body tired, brain biiiiiinnngggg” resonates so completely. May you have less butt vomit and more good days coming.
Hello Greetings from Austin Texas, how are you doing 😊😊😊
When you started to cry, Grace, I wanted to hug you… but then I thought that you’d hate that attention, so I’ve decided instead that I’m going to not hug you, but do it with all the admiration and affection I can summon. Keep pushing through, you beautiful human!
I really appreciate seeing all of the good, bad and ugly of your journey. Thank you for being vulnerable with all of us Grace.
Hello Greetings from Austin Texas, how are you doing 😊😊😊
seeing elliott pull out a birthday banner during your treatment literally brought tears to my eyes. you deserve the world, grace
Hello Greetings from Austin Texas, how are you doing 😊😊😊
I’ve been following you since what feels like the dawn of time, but wow this has been so emotional and wonderful. As someone who lost 4 of my closest family members to cancer and was a primary caretaker for 2 of them, I just really really appreciate and admire your vulnerability and this whole process. Sending you so much love, Grace 💕
Wow you’re amazing! 💓
I can relate with you cancer runs in my family and have taken care of my grandma and my great aunt till they both passed. Unfortunately this has left me feeling so empty because I dropped everything (college,work,life) to help that I don't know how to pick everything back up now. I also have a looming doom that I will also have cancer 😢 sorry stranger I need therapy 🙃
Wiping tears from my eyes Grace, thank you so much for this vlog. You are so strong and your ability feel your emotions while simultaneously walking us and yourself through it logically and gracefully (no pun intended) is so so inspiring. Congratulations on being halfway done and weve got your back the whole way!
💓💪🏻
We love you so much, Grace!
And I too have missed the “It’s [insert weekday]” and “Can you see it” slogans. You and Tim are such internet gems. 💎
Oof, just about lost it when you said “doctor said my blood count looks good, great birthday gift!”. I’ve had my own rough year of feeling deeply uncomfortable through unwanted change, and watching you go through it too with all the ups and downs is a huge help. We got this Grace, because we must.
Been following you since like 2011 or 12 and it’s really amazing to see how much you’re allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I was a college kid masking my own vulnerability when I found your channel and recognized you crafting a persona to mask yours. I’m 31 now and have done a lot of work to pull down the walls I made and it’s neat to see that reflected back. Fucking blows that it’s being forced upon you due to illness. Not gonna lie, the universe served you up some diarrhea big time. I appreciate you being vulnerable and showing your experience through treatment. You’ve been putting in a lot of work on yourself and it shows.
THANK YOU! working on taking down or pulling back the persona has been a lot of the journey leading up to the cancer diagnosis - what timing for everything! Not easy work so good on you too!
“It’s Tuesday and you know what that means” and “CAN YOU SEE IT, CAN YOU SEE IT” takes me baaaaack! I love you, Grace ❤️ I hope these vlogs are as fun for you as it is for me, a Grace/DailyGrace fan.
I am 41 and just finished TCHP for breast cancer at the end of July. I remember being where you are in treatment and feeling the same way. I cried many tears and it's true-- one of the hardest things was having my friends see me when I was really sick. Your video reminds me that I am not alone on this difficult path.
💓congrats! Can’t wait to join you on the other side of treatment!
I had cancer when I was 14 and pretty much blacked out that whole year of my life because it was too hard for me to process. Now as a 27 year old adult I’m seeing you go through treatment and seeing so many similarities and I’m so thankful for you recording and expressing how you’re feeling in these uncomfortable moments. 14 year old me doesn’t feel alone anymore so thank you.
As a fellow chemo girlie I totally get the ‘giving your body over to science’ thing. 22 months in and I have no shame anymore. I was sat in my hospital bed, boobs out getting ECG stickers attached by one person while talking about my diarrhea with another :)
Thank you for sharing all the parts of this journey. (Wipes tears from eyes) You are truly inspiring. So happy to see Tim. Happy nesting and resting. Always rooting for you.
A messy kitchen is a kitchen that gets regular use in my opinion! (and life lol) Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and life and joy with us Grace, much love and good vibes!!!
this feels like catching up with someone i haven't seen in 5 years but before we were young teens and now we are in our 30s. i feel grateful watching this Grace
The personal growth in this video is so inspiring Grace! No fart noises edited in over the tears!? Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this journey and your vulnerability with the internet ❤
lol the urge to fart noise was always calling
Wow. This vlog had everything! Really rich Connecticut WASP-lady intro. Trader Joe’s slander. Jumbo magnums of wine. TimWillDestroyYou. Womb rooms. Tears. Banana toast. Chemo. Chic birthday headwear. Husband goals. Hurricane Sandy lung capacity. Hydration. You sooo got this, Grace! ❤
I have MS. Which, while not as intense as Cancer, it is a big deal in that it is a lifelong thing, so i get it. You are sooo not alone in that massively uncomfortable place of being confronted by looking and feeling SICK. About not being able to "keep up". About feeling like you want to hide yourself away so you dont make anyone uncomfortable with your sickness. I GET IT. You are very not alone, Grace. If no one else has told you today, you are a warrior, and you are allowed to do WHATEVER THE F you want or need to do to. Wanna cry all day, do it. Sleep all day, heck yes. Talk to no one except your dog, get it. You make the rules, and you dont have to explain yourself or apologize for prioritizing yourself. period.
Never has a runny poos update made me smile, laugh but also get teary eyed so much. You're an inspiration. Sending all the Love and good vibes Grace 🙌
Wow, I don’t normally cry with people when they cry in videos, but this got me. You’re doing so great and thank you for sharing with us. You don’t have to tell us anything, and you’ve chosen to be vulnerable.
Also “Can you see it” really brought me back! I fell away from your channel for a few years unintentionally and recently started catching back up. It’s nice to see you again Grace
Hello Greetings from Austin Texas, how are you doing 😊😊😊
One of the most amazing qualities in a human being is the ability to make others feel good when they're not feeling great. You're AMAZING SWEETIE!!
I love how real and vulnerable this is. You don’t own anyone any of this, but know it is appreciated. Prayers for your journey and happy birthday!
OMG the anxiety of been SEEN while shopping... YES! Thank you for putting words to this, i feel it. I recently moved to a smaller town, and now, the people who work in basically EVERY shop remember me?!? I'm like, wait, I thought I was anonymous and invisible and no one would ever remember what I look like or how I act in this store? 🤣🤣🤣
Also sending you so much love!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us, you're amazing and the vulnerability is SO appreciated ❤❤❤
Tim hasn't aged a day since Sibling Rivarly and his lil channel he used to do! It's so awesome that you're sharing this, growing up I feel like the only cancer patients we saw in media were sad, barely conscious people just waiting for the end (which to be fair, is a mood, I often do that and I don't even have cancer). I don't know how you feel about us in the comments basically turning your cancer experience into a public service, but just scrolling through, I think you're helping a lot of people.
Although I am younger than you by a bit, it feels in some ways that I have grown up alongisde you. You are never obligated to be vulnerable with us, but know that it is seen and appreciated.
Happy birthday Grace! My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago, and even though it's scary, the fact that I've been keeping up with your videos made it so much easier to process the news. I've followed you since 2011, and to me, you will always be the internet's big sister. I've spent most of my adult life trying to figure out how to separate the performance I put on around others from who I actually am - I am so grateful for all that you've shared both now and for your entire time on RUclips 💛
I can't say how happy that thrown in "CAN YOU SEE IT" made me. Needed that little bit of nostalgia today, thank you
I appreciate how honest this video has been. I know how much you want to protect your privacy but as someone who has struggled so much with an autoimmune condition and the extreme depression that has come with it - the honesty of this video really hit me
happy birthday grace and thanks for letting us in like this, you’re a rock star!
I commented on your IG post, and I just want to thank you again, for posting your journey. I am sure there are fans here who have gone through this, in some capacity, and appreciate you sharing the real sh** that you are going through. Again, I will send those birthday sparkly wishes for kicking cancer's butt. Forever a fan.
in addition to the physical toll illness and treatments take, there's also the mental load from external circumstances. your feelings are real true and valid, and never stupid. i really appreciate you sharing your experience
Happy bday! Hope you feel the best you can for your day
❤ Happy Birthday Grace!

Grace, thank you for sharing so much of this phase in your life. The good bits and especially the bad bits. You're helping so many people going through something similar just by knowing they're not alone. You're not alone either.

You've always been such a source of light and humor for so many people, and so many people are rooting for you and supporting you. Wishing you nothing but love and health ❤
Great work Elliott, the happy birthday tiara on top of the cold cap was such a nice touch.
I absolutely love that these videos give so much context to things that Grace talks about on the podcast.
Happy birthday, Gorgeous. You’re a warrior ❤
You're doing great Grace ❤. Glad you had some fun that week.
I just love her so much. Your journey with this is making it a lot less scary for those of us who worry about getting sick.
Kicking ass and taking names. I have been watching you for over 7 years and seeing you get all emotional made me cry too. Sending all the good vibes! Happy belated birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing and being so open about this whole process. You 1000% don't have to be but the fact that you are I believe helps both us and you. We all wish you and your whole family the best and know that you've got this. Stay strong as ever Grace. 💪🤠
Love you, Grace. You got this. Sending so much love and positivity to you and Elliott through this!
Sending you healing vibes and birthday wishes! 🎉 Have a peaceful weekend.☮️
You’ve always been a great role model so I’m not surprised but seeing you process and be in touch with your feelings in this way is so informative and helpful. thank you for being so authentic: we know sharing like this might be exhausting and appreciate you trusting us with a lil piece of this journey💖
