Hi! I am Philipp Dettmer, the founder of kurzgesagt, and back in 2018, I was being treated for a stage 3 B testicular cancer. This was a very serious situation, but it is not a sad story! In fact, going through chemotherapy was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. I was treated with Cisplatin, which, in a nutshell, put my body through a controlled medical violence. This toxic chemotherapy agent is a hero and a villain of this story, but it absolutely saved my life.
So what exactly is Cisplatin, and what was my body going through during the treatment?

funny how this video was released right as i'm fighting testicular cancer. wish me luck guys ✌
For those who don't know, this video isn't talking about the narrator but the creator of the channel.
So Chemotherapy is basically poisoning yourself and betting that the cancer dies before you do. And somehow, we got so good at it that testicular cancer went from a death sentence to one of the most curable cancers. Science is absolutely insane.
Thank goodness you survived, Mr. Kurzgesagt creator
11:01 the late Technoblade once "If you die from cancer, cancer dies too. It's not a loss. It's a draw."
My mom just got diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer and is undergoing treatment (including cisplatin). To everyone going through this, you are not alone. Wish us luck guys ❤🤞
My wife just entered this phase in a stage IV breast cancer. Wish us luck 🤞
10:49 Technoblade… When you die from cancer, you don't lose, the cancer dies too. It's a draw
Watching this in the hospital, next to my grandfather that is dying out of cancer. He does not understand what I say anymore. Remember to say to your loved ones thay you love them regularly.
The higher beings realized he is needed for the plot
10:55 Cancer never wins , either you win or it's a draw
I found out that i had testicular cancer from my dog hitting me in the testicles lol. since the day he hit me, i started having pain and swelling in 1 testical, i put it off for a month hoping it would go away as i was too embarrassed to tell anyone or go to the doctor. Eventually i did go to the ER and 4 days later i had surgery to remove the testicle. Cancer free for 5 years now. My little doggo saved me from needing chemo by hitting me and finding it early. I 100% believe he knew something was wrong. <3❤
10:40 As Technoblade said, "I can't lose to cancer. If I die, I'll take it down with me. The best it can do is draw" RIP technoblade
I am ending my treatment for stage 3 testicular cancer and i get this video WTF
i cannot think of a world where Kurzgesagt died in 2018, that would make it the worst year of all time
I am watching this as my grandfather, who is dying of cancer, is in the hospital. He no longer comprehends what I say. Do not forget to express your love for your loved ones on a frequent basis.
Congratulations on beating cancer! On the topic, why not make a video about old and new cancer treatments as there are multiple biological advancements lately, it would be great if you compare them.
happy Kurzgesagt day 🎉
In 2019 I discovered that I had stage 4 metastasised melanoma. 2 grape sized tumours in my left parietal lobe, 6 scattered about inside the rest of my body plus a lump the size of half an avocado on my back. 15 years ago the 5 year survival rate was 4%, 10 year survival rate was essentially zero. During the 6 treatments with a pair of immunotherapy drugs the lump on my back shrank away and the only side effects were similar to having a bad flu without the sniffles. The 2 in my brain were burned out with radiation and this year I’m considered cured.
