Similar story - different time frame. I was 16 and it was 1959. Hip disarticulation. No chemotherapy available - yet I'm still here. Things have changed so much since then, but personal reactions to the diagnosis have to basically be the same. I appreciate you, Josh. Thanks for bringing your talent and wisdom to You Tube and Facebook and "live, on stage"!!
wow, you are a one legged man and i REALLY REALLY REALLY apreaciate the way you love and use your life. YOU ARE actually THE MOST AMAZING PERSON ALIVE.
I am a brazilian eleven year old girl and you are my complete hero. thank you for being wonderfull. YOU INSPIRE ME!!!
it's not good to refer to biological children as "regular" because then it implies adopted kids are "irregular"... i know u didn't intend that distinction, but i had to point out that you said it because small slips like that can alienate a person... make them feel like they don't belong
@BostonFrost I completely agree. But I also think that it's pretty clear that Josh's narritive voice in JDF is that of a child- the child he was when he went through this. To a nine-year-old with nothing but biological siblings, biological is "regular", and adopted is, in fact, "irregular". And I think it's also clear, even if he's not using the 'proper' terms, then he is still in favour of adoption.
yes, i made that comment because my mother is adopted & i've always heard her tell stories of what it's like to feel like she wasn't wanted by her real parents & how she was teased by other kids about it (it's even given me somewhat of an identity crisis because i don't know where i came from) & though i realize this narrative is from a child's naive point of view i had to speak up adoptive children who have to learn their "different" very young... it really bothers me
@BostonFrost Very true. And it bothers me too that someone could be taunted for being adopted, which should be seen as something positive and good. I guess what I was trying to say was that I'd rather hear what Josh was really thinking and feeling as a kid rather than having to censor himself with political correctness. Especially in this case where he makes it clear that he supports adoption.
i'm not exactly sure why you've told me twice that he is in support of adoption... i made it clear that i understood his stand in my ititial comment ~ i was simply trying to tell HIM of how the specifics were so personal to me therefore he doesn't need anyone else to come to his defense about the issue, you see? i was just raised with a heightened awareness on the topic...just as he was given the same on cancer way too young ~ so, oddly enough our trails gave us common ground
psh! I'm a girl, I was adopted, and my first child will be adopted! (that's also why I'm anti abortion, I could have been aborted instead of put up for adoption.)
Josh, as of today, I am done with radiation! I got to ring the bell signifying the end of treatment. Having cancer sucks..but it doesn't HAVE to be the end of the world. We are living proof of that. Thanks for these videos, you're amazing.
@thefluffyclouds Yes, cancer treatment definitely still falls under crazy expensive medical costs in the US. My mom had kidney cancer and her chemotherapy pills were $3,000 a month but we have insurance...it's really disheartening all of the people that go without cancer treatment in the US w/o health insurance :( Hope that answers your question though.
"Tell you when you get older." If that was me in that situation, I'd totally be like "but... what if... I don't get older? Then I'll never know!". Although I suppose that's not the main concern if you are about to possibly die soon.
@ijustkendall yeah...it's like watching a movie...I loved it when he drew it but it wasn't something like i was watching it...you know what i mean? It looks like I'm just watching a set of pictures...with narration.
I suddenly wanna see a picture of you with a shaven head. Please?
Has anyone of you ever heard of soursop? It is a fruit that's also great treatment for cancer. I think it's 10x better than chemotherapy. The reason why people didn't want to release this information ealier is that soursop only costs a little, while chemo is expensive. People's greed for money has caused millions of lives.
My uncle had cancer as a kid too and could not have children as a result of the chemo, so him and his wife adopted two great kids. Adoption is a chance to turn something that many people would look at as a tragedy into a blessing - both for you and the kids.
I've read the book... I'm not really sure why you keep calling it hilarious. I loved it, but it made me wanna cry at several parts and I honestly didn't laugh unless it was a joke.
I loved your book and I had my mom read it. Now she keeps asking all sorts of questions like "so is he just a motivational speaker now, or does he ave another job?" and "You said he has a pretty tame love life. Why do you think that is?" (she's a therapist, go figure). I was wondering if you could make sort of an update video about once every few years showing where you are in life right now, what's up with your family, etc.
You say that this is a "HILARIOUSLY true story in the intro", but so far my tears have been more like "OMG this poor poor child only has a 50% chance to live???" and less like "HAHAHAHA HE SAID PREGNANT!!!!!"
@kylie9022 no bc you would still be around and your dad would still be around. I'm sorry about your dad. I dont know what I'd do if i lost either parent but as you can see josh has taught us all that losing something doesn't mean it has to be a bad something right?
