YouTube sensation Grace Helbig shares details about her 'cancer diagnosis' in video
Grace complaint about a lump in her left breast to her gynecologist a month ago
YouTube star Grace Helbig has unveiled that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
In a YouTube video, Grace revealed that she found out about a month ago that she has triple-positive breast cancer.
The 37-year-old internet personality dropped an eight-minute video to share details about her health and the cancer.
Grace, 37, said: "I don't know how to do this, so we're just going to do this. I have breast cancer. It's very shocking. It's very surreal. It doesn't sound real, but it's real."
"From every doctor or medical professional or person that has any knowledge about cancer, they have said it is super treatable, it is highly beatable. We are going for cure not remission here, which is exciting, encouraging, helpful, good."
The Dirty 30 actress admitted that she hesitantly complained about a lump in her left breast to her gynecologist one day. That’s how she got her diagnosis.
"I really had to, like, talk myself into bringing it up to her in the appointment because I thought I was just a stupid little girl that didn't know how girl bodies worked.”
"Thank God I listened to that little voice inside of me that finally got the courage to bring it up to her because she also thought it was abnormal."
The YouTuber also revealed that she has been in contact with her fellow YouTuber, Hank Green, who himself has been diagnosed with cancer.
"I have been texting with him and his videos have been so incredibly helpful," Helbig said. "I am now eagerly awaiting his cancer stand-up to read through, which he has promised to send me because I'm going to need comedy through this process."
According to Entertainment Weekly, Grace Helbig says that she is sure she can fight cancer with strength.
