Gill Cesaria

i only very recently discovered that you existed. then today i read here that we were at risk of losing you. then i read that you've come out ahead! what a rollercoaster! i can't imagine what you've been through. congratulations on the good news, and best of luck! ❤️❤️

Luke Ratzlaff

Hi, I like the blog from Dr. Michael Greger, nutritionfacts.org he does post videos about the best of knowledge science has about nutrition, and how the medicine academies today don’t even study it. There are a lot of research about cancer that I recommend for you Philipp. The information he makes public has changed lives os many people, including mine. All the best, keep up with the amazing job you guys are doing.

Hi Marcela, it seems as if your payment didn't get through...

Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell

Hey there! Could i know when my rewards are coming? I pledged for the "The Cake is not a Lie" tier.

I'm also have cancer and want to motivate any other cancer having patients and all the other healthy people. Pleas don't forget about scientific growing knowledge. We are getting better in fighting thees sicknesses. I'm having a Glioblastom in my brain and survived more than 4 years even while 95 % of the people die during the first 5 years!!! (It's a fct like e^(-t) with the survival probability) WHY? Okay one of the most important things is luck about where the Cancer is. But after that you have to WANT to be alive. I also had deep operations and survived it because of your science but a half of it is also your mental strength wich is supporter by your family and friends! For exemple I did lose the whole "reading"-ability and worked hard to relearn it while I also fished may BSc Math in Germany and even while I'm still training to get faster I'm writing on my Math MSc thesis. But watch out! A few ages ago cancer was seldom! Why and what can we do?! Take more care about what you eat! For example in nutritionfacts.org you can learn for free lots about what you should and shouldn't eat. Kurzgesagt: family and friends, science and nutrition is the most important base for all of us. Dont forget about our nutrition and therefor health.

Great news, congratulations! Wish you the best.

Good to hear and damn that are some unpleasant news. Wish you all the good Philipp, stay strong and it's awesome to hear that you are in "complete remission". Thank you for all your efforts! Stay safe!

Awesome !! :)

Congratulations man! I'm so glad you're in remission! Honestly take as much time, I know how much of a burden this horrible disease is. Please just enjoy life and do what you enjoy most!

I had no idea you were going through this, but I am so happy to read the update!

What a big relief Philipp! My 9 year old son and I love your videos and look forward to many more - love the health angle...maybe with the meaning of life... right up Kurzgesagt's alley! <3

I am so incredibly grateful to receive this news about your health status, as am I for your continuing hard work and masterful educational content. Keep up the great work, and I sincerely hope your health continues to improve! Thank you, Philipp, and take care. :)

Glad to see you have "complete remission". The battle isn't over for sure but I hope it is and you have a good many years ahead of you.

crazyjackal

I'm a late addition to supporting Kurzgesagt on Patreon, so I wasn't aware of your health concerns until now. But cancer has absolutely ravaged my family, so I wanted to say congrats on kicking its ass! Very, very thankful for these videos, both as a teaching tool and as a resource for future generations in support of education, kindness, and the sharing of knowledge. All the best to you and your team! =)

Thank you for sharing your experience during it all, and am so glad things turned out for the better.

James Zaki

Wonderful news.

Glad you got to the other side...

Adam Grandt

I am so glad to hear this news! Thanks for all the great work you do.

Philip: thanks for the update! the channel is a pure delight and I use it regularly in my classroom. I was shocked to hear of your diagnosis a few months back and am now so happy you're in remission. One day at a time dude, that's all we have, and you're making the most of yours. Respect.

Mike Kelso

Very glad to hear the news. Do you mind if I ask what treatment you received? I have two family members currently undergoing cancer treatments of different kinds.

My heart sank seeing the title, only to be rescued by the rest of the post. Thank you for your dedication to education and we all wish all the best with your recovery.

So glad to hear the good news on your cancer. Thank you so much for all you do!

Joshua Grose

What a great news. Glad to hear you are doing well.

It's so amazing that your experience with cancer has resulted in the certainty that producing these videos is your life's mission. I feel so inspired, and humbled, to hear that.. recently I produced a video with voiceover and animations (for work), having never done it before, and as a result I have so much awe and respect for people who do video editing/directing for a living. It's so easy to spend 100+ hours to produce a quality 5 min video. Thank you for all that you do.

Brittany B.

So glad to hear this! I think at some point you should make a video about cancer. After all is one of the main causes of mortality in our society these days. It would be really informative.

❤️

So very happy for you. This is wonderful news, and I am so pleased in the conclusion you came up with for your purpose in life.

Chris Lyons

Our family is so happy for you!!! Wishing your peaceful and relaxing days ahead!

I am so happy to hear these news! Congratulations on beating this beast and hopefully it will stay away for good!

Sven Sauerwald

The world is better because it will keep having you in it.

So, so very happy to hear this. Bravo to you for powering through, and to modern medicine, and the doctors of course. Get strong soon and keep doing the great work you’re already doing for many more healthy years.

Abhijit Chanda

Devin Harris

Glad to hear you’re better. I nearly lost my life two years ago when my colon rupture and sepsis caught me. Thankfully the best doctors and a lot of surgery has me back to form. It changes your life and I share with you that new focus that it’s precius.

anthony maffia, iii

Amazing.

Yay good to hear you're better Phillip

Louis Cohen

I'm happy to hear that you, a bright beacon to knowledge, are staying with us. It's saddening if young, inspiring forces of good disappear early, because they had an unlucky roll on the genetic traits table. So I pray that you, Philipp, don't get screwed over by life like TB/John Bain was. Yes, a video about this experience would be.. interesting? That word sounds kind of awful out of place here. But I found it quite enlightening to hear TB talk about his experiences.. on what cancer does to you psychologically and the weird, disturbing situation of "Without treatment, I feel much better.. but I'll die". It's not something I was expecting from the statement "I'm terminally ill".

L4m3ness

Great news Philipp! Life is a beautiful gift. Your work makes me grow as a person and your journey helps me to reflect on my life choices and to focus my energy on what is most important. Thank you.

Nicolas Berney

No need to hurry, I count on staying subscribed anyways. Take as much time as you want to rest and recover, even if it is a couple of years. 👌👍

Ditto for all the wonderful previous comments... :)
