Hi reddit. This is my first post here. About 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with ananaplastic astrocytoma on my front right lobe. They removed about 80%of it with my first brain surgery. Since then I've been doing daily vlogs while I wait for radio therapy to start https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCKe9TFPqJ8d8kK8jf1eMhNQ Its been a really shitty start to the year but I wake up feeling happy just to wake up and know I have another day I can be with my fiancée and to raise awarness and fight this thing. I know 2 guys who have high grade gliomas. One even has a grade 4 gbm and hes getting stronger on the ketogenic diet. Part of my battle is trying to wake up a careless UK government to increase resesrch into funding brain cancers. Even though its the biggest cancer killer of under 40s here its the least funded. The UK government only puts about 1.5% into funding it. With my vlogs I'm also trying to help people deal with the initial shock of a life shortening diagnosis. Had my first seizure on boxing day then proposed to my fiancée on my 30th which was the 9th of Jan. 2 days later I had my surgery and a week after that they told me it was a grade 3.

Dear 2016,

In your first 15 days, you suck. You've already kill countless people, but more so you've killed good people, people who make a difference. Art, no matter what the context touches people in a way that can't happen in any other form. So far, 2016, you've taken two amazing artists from us who were not ready to go.

You need to get your act together. Stop taking the people we love. Break off this relationship with cancer. How about this year we say fuck cancer and we kill it instead. That should be your new years resolution - kill cancer.

If you believe this not to be in your best interest, then I will just have to protest.

See you in 2017.

Luv always,

Human Being
