  1. Stop promoting chemo and radiation. The other world is big and strong, you know, the world ridiculed for healing the body and living with quality of life…yah that one.

    1. Xavier Harding thats easy to say. There are thousands of types of chemo these days. The newer ones work with less side effects depending. Steve Jobs thought exactly like you, didnt get treatment and meditated, ate vegan, etc. Study the drugs, CAR-T therapy, mAb instead of talking about old destructive chemo.

    2. @love Body it’s not easy for me to say. my friend’s 7 year old son suffered for nearly a year going through that crap and still died.

    3. Xavier Harding sorry to hear that. Children with blood cancers usually fare very well. Brain like this kid is the worst. Treating the brain is very hard. Still for every kid that dies there are many more that live. Take a blood cancer in children. Lookat mortality 20 years ago and compare it now. Thats all you need. Nevertheless, i worked in a cancer ward for a little bit and its heartbreaking.

  2. To cool 😎 👌 I bet he loved it for sure 👊 Drake’s to cool with doing stuff like that…stay true and get better if you haven’t already….

  3. As a current cancer patient, I wish you ALL THE BEST-
    YOU.CAN.BEAT.THIS.KIDDO!!!
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!🥳🥳🥳❤❤❤

    You, and your family, are in my thoughts and prayers!!!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

  4. That was absolutely beautiful!! I love Drake for that. I am not in the position to help out the family financially, but wishing them strength and peace. 💗
