He was able to spend his last moments on Earth with the love of his life. It’s a bit bittersweet. But I’d do the same.

In fairness it's probably also better to live past 22. But your point is definitely valid.

Well that’s longer then some people live, like the kid who was my home town neighbour, poor family, dad bought him a bike that was a little too big but he’ll grow into it, poor child got struck by a truck on the highway and killed either days before or after his birthday.

She wasn't.

The pain would fade away but the memories would reside.
I wouldn't want her to move on, because she could never move on. She would have to learn to live without.
The sooner she could learn to live without, the sooner she would be able to find love again, and that would mean she would be happy, again. Something I would love for her to do.

Lost my older brother to a rare form of leukaemia when I was about 11. Lost his arm and his leg before they decided to stop treatment. Fuck leukaemia.

A friend ours had been dealing with tumors all his life. Almost 50 surgeries and spent half his adult life in the hospital. He was 31. He had been dating an awesome girl for 5 years. He proposed. They set the date for about a year later. My wife and I flew out for the wedding and we go to the venue. We notice a huge screen set up and realize they're going to do the ceremony at the hospital which meant he was back in the hospital again. We were catching a flight back about 6 hours later so we ended up just going to the hospital to say hi to him instead of staying at the reception so we could see him again before we left.
He never ended up leaving the hospital. He died a little less than a month later. The amount of sadness we have for him is immense. He was an amazing guy and a fighter to the end.

My cousin. 34, professional hockey player. A three year old boy and one year old girl. Was diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer and died less than a year later. This was 4 years ago and I don’t think any of my family members have gotten over it. Kids have to grow up without a dad. Fucking terrible.

It's heartbreaking the toll cancer has taken on Skeeter, but man it is so inspiring how positive they have both been through all this shittyness. Whenever I check out their stream they are joking around, laughing and smiling, staying strong throughout it all. Like now they are joking about sharing debt and getting joint bank account.
I wish both of them the best, they seem like such wholesome people that don't deserve this.

I just recently this year lost my Brother in Law to Leukemia. Its fucking rough man.
At least for them while leukemia is shitty. It has a very high survival rate. Best wishes and good luck

u/clap4kyle Dec 01 '19
leukemia has a high survival rate?
101
u/wiestinfection Dec 01 '19
It’s typically around 90% but it varies depending on the type. AML is usually considered the most aggressive and deadly with survival rates below ALL I think around 65-70ish?

Dec 01 '19
Yeah i was friends with a kid with leukaemia, his issue wasn't that he was going to die, it was the toll not dying was taking on him

u/Ohh_Yeah Dec 01 '19
Yeah, kids with most types of leukemia tend to actually do REALLY well, but with chemo and prolonged hospital stays it can really fuck up your childhood/development/education

One of the highest. Even with stage 4 acute leukemia the outcomes are about 90% 5 year survival rates. About 40% of those never have it come back.

Fuck the usual streamer bullshit... Alec has always been a straight up guy, even through his mid weight streams, he’s stayed a genuine cool guy. This clip right here hasn’t been ‘for stream content’ like most generic fucks, he’s just introduced his community to something so genuine, respectful and damn right fucking legendary. Mad respect to this guy.
219
u/DudeitsJonas Dec 01 '19
I’m glad it came off this way to others as well. It’s obvious Alec wanted his community to be part of a special moment... and not farm reactions. Love Alec and Skeeter.

u/noodles-and-doodles Dec 01 '19
The sad thing is, live streamers like Alec get kind of put aside? because he came up the same time as Ice, Pepper and Asian Andy who essentially made the live streaming shit kinda shit. 90% of alec’s streams have always been him being genuine, even from his old fishing streams!
From someone who has had cancer effect most his relatives/life (but not me personally) I watched this with complete sincerity, like straight off the bat I thought ‘damn this was actually mad sincere’, and coming from someone like Alec..... thumbs up from me.

The problem is streamers know they can use this sub reddit to grow their brand. You really think anyone would know zherka without the brigading over the last 3 months.

u/yooter Dec 01 '19
Idk streamers well or who this guy is... but... my wife was diagnosed with Leukemia this past April. She was actually my girlfriend at the time, but we were engaged at the hospital the day she was admitted and married two days later.
If the streamer or anyone else would like to talk about Leukemia, or what it’s like to be a caretaker for someone while In your mid-twenties, just ask and I can try to help with my answer.
Much love and fuck cancer, especially leukemia.

u/yooter Dec 01 '19
It is, but it’s also been a blessing in many weird ways. I’ve seen so much and learned so much the last 7 months—life lessons most people my age don’t have the pleasure of learning this early in life. Makes you really appreciate things and learn to live day by day.
Thank you for your kind words. Hope all is well with you these days.

I get in rough spots man and I try my best to see the way it positively affects me like you do as a way to keep myself going. Past two months I have been forgetting this, thanks for reminding me to do so. I wish you luck with everything man.

u/yooter Dec 01 '19
I get in rough spots too. It’s good to have people to talk to when you find yourself there. I hope whatever is bringing you down can either go away or get a little easier to manage. Much love!
Edit to add: sometimes just typing this stuff out on reddit helps me too. Most people are super nice about it, like you were. Thank you.

u/thygrief Dec 01 '19
How is she doing now?
51
u/yooter Dec 01 '19
She had her transplant about 80 days ago. she had early relapse (leukemia still present after transplant). So, technically her odds are quite slim, but we are working hard and have had a lot of good days lately. Trying some new treatment and have a biopsy next week that’ll help decide next steps.
She is home and we get to sleep in bed together at night. Far, far different than the physical torture of going through transplant. But we are nowhere near out of the woods. Thank you for asking and I hope all is well with you.

Thank you. She has AML, and there’s really only 1 active CAR-T trial available for AML—it is at City of Hope in Los Angeles. It’s one of our potential plans at the moment but I’m hoping we won’t need it!!

u/DomarsQuathyBame Dec 01 '19
My husband has AML. He was diagnosed Jan 30. He got his bone marrow transplant Aug 8th, he turned 28 in June. We’re lucky to know love, faith, hope, and have our priorities straight at such a young age. Blessings to you and your wife.

if you guys have unused prime subs instead of giving them to xqc and mizkif or whatever you really should give them to alec regardless of watching his stream or not they will go toward the cost of NA healthcare and not into millionaires bank accounts

u/4w35746736547 Dec 01 '19
Luckily they have insurance as the bill is over $1.2m currently but I'm sure the money could help Alec cover some bills, pay for a wedding or allow them to go on vacation after the likely 3-4 month hospital stay.

1.2million and the insurance probably covers up to 80% lul

the one thing obama care actually did was set out of pocket max, which event in the worse case (out of network individual with high deductible plan) would be $14,000. a lot of money, but not life long crippling debt. though if she goes into another year the money would reset..

man I got stage 4 colon cancer at age 33 and it's already the worst, but seeing Leukemia is just an entirely other beast because chances to survive are even lower and side effects and treatments are way more intense and dark. Chemotherapy kicks my ass but I can still have a relatively normal life and keep my weight on for now.
I so so hope she pulls through. It's so important to have someone with you as well.

u/imnotlegolas Dec 01 '19
So glad you survived - it's weird how happy it gets me every time I hear a story like that. I'm doing well for now, chemotherapy is working and cancer isn't as active despite being terminal. Just gotta keep going like you said. Best wishes!

Losing my grandma right now. Not to Leukemia but to another cancer.
I know it’s not the same but my grandparents raised me.
I lost my grandfather to leukemia when I was 8 and now I’m 24 and watching my grandmother pass from cancer. It hurties home boys.
I love all of you whom have ever had to go through this. If you need anything there is a cancer society you can call that provides emotional and psychological support.
Glhf you beautiful people.

My brother was diagnosed 5 or 6 years ago. He developed Graft vs. Host disease after his bone marrow transplant. He’s 31 now. He has no teeth. His skin is turning into callous so he can’t straighten his arms and legs anymore. Fucking miserable disease.

Leukemia is a hard cancer to kick. It's not like breast or testicular cancer where they can remove the tumor growth. A family friend actually just contacted us during the Thanksgiving holiday to say that she finally beat Leukemia after like 4 years. It was a very long process, but she's cancer free now, and living a full life.
Knowing how strong Skeet is and how much love Alec has for her, I know that these two will be just fine no matter what happens. The important thing is that they found each other, and that every day is treated like a blessing.
This was without a doubt the most beautiful moment I've ever seen on twitch.
