YouTuber Grace Helbig reveals breast cancer diagnosis: 'I'm going to fight this'

Grace Helbig returned to YouTube after a three-week hiatus with a heartbreaking update.

The video titled, I have breast cancer, spanned nearly eight minutes, in which the content creator revealed she was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer about a month ago, after discovering a lump in her left breast.

The Grace Helbig Show alum said: "I had sort of noticed a weird lump in my left breast, but 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."

"From every doctor or medical professional or person who has any knowledge about cancer they have said it’s super treatable, highly beatable. We’re going for cure not remission here. Which is exciting, encouraging, helpful, good," the comic enthused.

Her "very clear treatment plan" comprises six rounds of chemotherapy, a surgery followed by hormonal therapy.

At the end of the video, Helbig quipped: "The joke’s not lost on me that I’ve spent 15 years not using my boobs to get attention on the internet, and yet here we are, and that I’m announcing this during cancer season.

"So what’s next? This is my job now and I’m going to fight this little bitch of a thing in my left breast as best and as strongly and as gracefully as I can. Pun intended," she concluded.
