Is there an online resource for cancer patients that you can imagine but doesn't exist? I'd want something like Tinder but for your diagnosis, demographic, location (whatever) - basically a way to match and talk with other survivors. You? #thankscancer #melanoma #oncosky #mentalhealth #fuckcancer

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJTj... Been a while since I made a vlog - things do, in fact, get better post-treatment. Let's keep that going ❤️ #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #oncosky #fuckcancer

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR4d... One month into remission... for the third time! Thanks for watching 😘 #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #fuckcancer #oncosky

www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgbZ... I just beat stage 4 cancer for the third time. Remission is still weird, even with my prior experience. #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #fuckcancer #cansky #oncosky

Why brain sad when times are happy? youtube.com/watch?v=VZai...

I've hit the inevitable depression after finishing cancer treatment. This is the third time out of three chances it's happened, I've been warning myself and others about this phenomenon for years, and yet I'm still surprised. I guess I'm a slow learner about cancer in general 😂 (🧵⬇️)

You know you’re a little too comfortable at your oncologist’s office when you order your own labs and literally put your feet up. Mostly showing off my cancer-free toes 😬 #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #fuckcancer #cansky #oncosky

youtube.com/watch?v=MCwH... My latest vlog is about as happy of one as I’ve ever made. Officially in remission from stage 4 melanoma again 😘 #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #oncosky #cansky

youtube.com/watch?v=qpuh... Not all scanxiety is created equal. Come sit with me while I rant. #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #scanxiety #cansky #oncosky

youtube.com/watch?v=VCLW... Let the weird but good times commence 🤷🏻‍♂️ #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #cansky #oncosky

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GH3... I took my last PD-1 blockers in live action today. I only had to cut and cry a couple times. See if you can find them 😂 #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #oncosky #cansky

And then there was one (day). 364 down, one to go and I’m done with treatment for stage 4 melanoma. Scans/bloodwork/oncology pending, so I can’t proclaim victory yet, but I’m on the precipice of going up 3-0 on cancer. #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth

youtube.com/watch?v=8fR6... I took my shirt off and blinded the camera 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 (Aka please excuse my poor production choices). #thankscancer #cansky #oncosky #melanoma

Put ‘em in the blender 😂 (I know, I know, I’m wasting my time - but it’s a weird form of entertainment to me.) #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #cansky #oncosky #cancerbs

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHh3... It's insane to have this level of confidence while still in stage 4 cancer treatment. But I'm here; it's where I'm at. Thanks for watching 😘 #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #cancertreatment #oncosky #cansky

2nd to last time I do this. I hope. 😂🤞🏻 #melanoma #thankscancer #braf #cansky #oncosky #mentalhealth

youtube.com/watch?v=vm6G... One year later, video style. #cansky #oncosky #thankscancer

Diagnosed with a stage 4 recurrence 1 year ago today. In the best shape of my 30’s after 3 diagnoses in 7 years. 18 days left of treatment and I’m playing pro hoops in Costa Rica. Wild times. Lucky times. Hopefully it gets better for all of us. That’s why I share. #thankscancer #cansky #melanoma

www.youtube.com/watch?v=phNn... Full vlog up - Talking more about my trip, basketball, and what it's like to have this experience while finishing out cancer treatment. #thankscancer #melanoma #cansky #oncosky #mentalhealth #costarica

Arguably the most fun I’ve ever had doing cancer treatment. Pura Vida 🇨🇮🏀 #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #ballislife #cansky #oncosky

Got ourselves a win in the first game of our playoff series. I contributed by yelling my ass off, and it was still surreal. This adventure has been so gratifying. #thankscancer #mentalhealth #melanoma

First pro bucket in Costa Rica! Sure, it was in garbage time of an exhibition (in which our opponents brought the wrong jerseys so they had to wear warmups 😂), but still, I’m stoked. 4 pts, 4 rebounds, 2 assists in 8 minutes. 1 happy dude. #thankscancer #ballislife #puravida #cansky #costarica

Sometimes you wake up being extra considerate for your vlog comments 😂 Anyway, happy birthday, Mom - love you! ❤️ #thankscancer #melanoma #MentalHealth #oncosky #cansky

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTXj... It turns out that functioning hips are more necessary for professional basketball than I had anticipated. #thankscancer #cansky #oncosky #ballislife

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWNg... Just like we drew it up 🤷🏻‍♂️😂🏀 #thankscancer #melanoma #ballislife #cansky #oncosky

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfim... We made it. My comfort zone is far far away. #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth #cansky

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ4k... We out here talkin' about emotions. #thankscancer #cansky #melanoma #oncosky

No one warned me that one of the side effects of my cancer treatment was getting thicker, darker, radically curly hair. While this is hardly an injustice, I just laugh each time I notice it has changed; I've never not known what to do with my hair 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 #thankscancer #melanoma #cansky #oncosky

My hair changed texture dramatically after 8 months of treatment to ultra-tight bristly coils. I was puzzled; BRAF/MEK doesn't list hair change as a side effect. Turns out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26946529/ Plus, the reaction shows that I'm responding to the drug well! 💪🏻 #thankscancer #cansky

I'm in the dog days of this cancer treatment. BRAF/MEK has been consistent and manageable. My immunotherapies have been intense with huge side effects. All three treatments have been unique mental health battle, but the twist in this one is how much time I have to focus on "what next?"... (1/3)

If you're a melanoma patient who likes learning about emerging treatments and standard of care, watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL_M... Fucking fascinating to me at this point of my life. Friday night, right? 😂 #thankscancer #melanoma #cansky

Pretttty good start to the day 🤷🏻‍♂️ #thankscancer #melanoma #cansky #oncosky
