TMGW #239: Cancer Won’t Keep Grace Down - No Ads!

Grace, you got this. I love your mentality you seem to be doing well and i’m really happy that you’re in a good headspace! Definitely smoke that 🍃💨 and take it easy! My mom is a medical dosimetrist, and I’m sure that you already have so many people who have been helping you out with any questions you may have or who have been navigating you through the process but I wanted to say that please don’t hesitate if you have any questions. Idk if that’s how patreon works but still wanted to offer! Anyway, you got this! And you got the best damn support system of anyone I’ve ever seen!! ❤️✊🏻

Love you both so much! One of my favorite shows ever is in two forms: YouTube and Netflix. It’s a show that you can have on in the background and probably be fun or terrifying to be on honest while high. It’s a cartoon called bee and puppycat and it’s adorable. Also loved the six degrees of separation with the cookie company, I have a volunteer at my job that loves those cookies because when I gave her one last year, she couldn’t believe the name of it because they were the names of her husband and years later after he passed , the other guys name was her lover. Isn’t that wild!

Show recs: Easy (Netflix), She-Ra (the reboot on Netflix is a great feel good cartoon to watch while high), Jet lagged on YouTube, how to build a sex room on Netflix is so fun, all of the Explained series on Netflix.

There’s no comment in the world can describe how much this sucks but you are such a genuine cool weird human I’m sure everything has been extremely overwhelming but just know you got of community of people that are sending you the bestest of good energy

Seconding Derry Girls, FBoy Island, The Ultimatum! I can’t wait for Luann and Sonja’s show Welcome to Crappie Lake. Claim to Fame season 2 just started and it is SO unhinged and good. You got this Grace we love you!! So many good vibes being sent your way

Grace you badass!! Sending lots of love and good vibes to you. I think I actually heard about it from the pod but I’ve been watching MILF Manor and wowie it’s something. The energy is chaotic, and hilarious. 10/10 recommend

There is an older docuseries that I fell in love with on Hulu called Behind the Mask. It's two seasons that follow sports mascots from high school all the way up to professional. So up your alley if you haven't seen it yet.

You've got this, Grace! Hope your recovery is getting off to a great start, glad you have so many people in your life who are in your corner and making sure you're well taken care of!

Love you!! My husband had non-Hodgkin’s disease back in 2010 and is cured. I remember the oncologist saying this is the cancer you want if you have to have it because it has the highest recovery rate (at that time at least) the process was quick but hard at times. You have ALL our support..talk about it as much or little as you need!

Kim

You got this, Grace! We’re all rooting for you ❤️ Love hearing all the love and support you’ve been surrounded with by your family and friends too. Love you & Mamrie’s friendship and so happy you guys have each other and this outlet to keep the laughter going!

Also top chef world all stars lol

🧡🧡🧡 thank you for sharing!! I’m sure was hard decision but everyone wants to support and love. everyone’s pretty much got everything else covered so I’m here since I’ve convinced myself we have the same sense of humor i recommend hacks and the other two and the first few seasons of psych or desperate housewives if you’re looking for binges

Rachel

Sending you so much love and strength. You got this. ❤️

Please do some kind of merch to benefit the cancer foundation of your choice! I would love to support the cause and your battle at the same time! 💗

Sending love and support your way! 💛 As for shows I can’t remember if you’ve ever mentioned it but I imagine you’d both enjoy F-boy island. It’s so dumb and incredible. And I Think You Should Leave on Netflix. Every episode has made me cry laugh.

Girl, if you need show recommendations, i got a few. Derry Girls on Netflix, i know its a slightly older show, but i just got into it and binge through it so quick. It's such a good show. also, Deadloch, its on Amazon Prime. The final (i think) episode of the season is releasing thursday. I was surprised how much i am enjoying this show.

One thing that makes me feel better is buying random stupid breast cancer shit. Like a cringy ass mug that says “I beat breast cancer what’s your super power?” In like a comic sans ass font and a stuffed bear shoved inside. There’s nothing wrong with buying that stuff in a serious way but that’s not who I am, I buy it because it’s cringe and dumb I think it’s hilarious to spend $8 on a cup to take silly pictures of and send to my best friends. I don’t drink coffee out of it but I do put weird shit in it.

I joined the wonky titty club last year and it’s (obviously) life changing. For me it really put my shit into perspective, once I stopped disassociating. It’s going to be a long and hard road, but you will get through it because you’re a badass and that’s the only option there is. You’ve got this. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, everything is exhausting. Doordash will be your best friend and there is nothing wrong with that, you need to save your energy for what matters and it’s more important to have Elliott doing shit like rubbing your back and giving you ice chips while you cry on the couch or whatever it is you’re doing. Anyway, you are not alone grace! Cancer is so lonely and it might feel like you’re doing it alone but you’re not. I am so so sorry you’re in this club, but we welcome you under our fuzzy blankets. Also, get a seatbelt mover so when you’re in the car you’re not getting smashed in.

There is something just so comforting in the way your friendship shows up for each other. Hearing the authenticity in your voices as you support each other always keeps me coming back. Hugs to you both.

That’s so scary but I’m glad you have good support around you! ❤️ put that cancer in a piledriver like a middle school boy would do to his classmate in 1998🙏

Your friendship is so beautiful - seeing the sincerity and love that you usually hide behind silliness and jokes is so sweet 💕 Mamrie looked more in need of a hug than Grace in this haha (but that’s probably mostly due to Grace’s very relatable coping mechanisms 🙃) Grace, you’ve got this! You’re gonna kick this bitchy lump’s ass so hard!! And we’re here for all the silly, funny, sincere, vulnerable, sad, sweet, sucky content you’re able to make along the journey…and if you can’t, we’ll be here waiting for you when you can again! 💕

Love you Grace !! Bec from the channel Eamon and Bec just got her clearance from her Stage 4 breast cancer this month. Their vlogs are so good and inspiring !

Chris Courtney

Grace, you got this! You are so so incredibly strong and I really hope you feel everyones love. And Mames, you fighting tears back🥹 The love you have for Grace is so apparent.🤍

We got you, Helbig <3 We all wanna kick that little bitchdick of a tumor in the nads, but you get first dibs, obv - just know we're all behind you!

You got this, Grace! And we've got your back! Sending love and courage!

We love you, Grace!!!

💛. EDIT: This is a utterly stupid thing to say but I’m going to say it anyway: One of the best people you can have on your side when fighting cancer is a Virgo. [Kid] you not. Someone who is organized, detail-oriented, perfectionistic, on top of things, and tenacious? Invaluable. Your program sounds straightforward (🤞🏼), but having someone in your immediate circle who ALWAYS remembers and never hesitates to “bother anyone” by asking the questions you might be reticent or just too tired to deal with is a major asset. Again, a stupid thing to say. But it’s just another way of saying that we’re rooting for you, Grace, and I’m so glad you’ve got a bestie as stellar as Mamrie at your back.
