Today is the day. Grace Helbig — the YouTuber with over 2 million subscribers — goes in for brain surgery on Wednesday, October 14, to remove two tumors she discovered after numbness in her leg sent her to the hospital.
Three years ago she beat triple-positive breast cancer with her trademark humor intact — "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." This time around she's just as steady: "I feel very positive and optimistic because these are operable brain tumors, and there was a moment in time where it wasn't certain." Her podcast tour with Mamrie Hart moves to 2027. This week's episodes wait — she promised "plenty of stories for the next podcast."
The DAOS take: fight culture isn't just the ring. It's this — walking into the biggest fight of your life cracking jokes and protecting your people from the weight of it. Sending strength to Grace today.
