John Green Wiki – John Green Biography
Hank Green has just revealed that he has been diagnosed with lymphoma and started chemotherapy. “I’m fine, but I’m not fine,” the author and YouTube personality said in a video shared Friday morning.
In the 13-minute video titled “So, I Have Cancer,” Green shared the news with fans, talking about the diagnosis and his time processing it. The 43-year-old author of “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing” told his followers that he noticed that his lymph nodes were swollen and consulted a doctor, who recommended an ultrasound.
Green’s doctor, “suspicious of lymphoma,” subsequently ordered a biopsy for the next day. “When you’re in the American health care system, you don’t expect things to move fast. That’s not what it does.” Green joked. “That’s not what it looks like. And when it starts to get a little efficient, it’s actually quite disconcerting.”
Reveals cancer diagnosis
The YouTube personality, who co-stars on the YouTube channel Vlogbrothers with her brother, “Fault in Our Stars” author John, revealed that he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The Mayo Clinic defines Hodgkin lymphoma as a “type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.” Green assured viewers that his type of cancer “is one of the most treatable.”
“I talked to some friends who have been through various types of cancer and cancer treatments and one of the things they all said is that this is their job now,” Green continued.
Green, who said he lives with an autoimmune disease, said in Friday’s video description that he was starting chemotherapy “literally as this video goes live.” She told fans that as a result of her treatment and its side effects, YouTube videos will be posted irregularly.
Green also said that he doesn’t want to be perceived solely because of his diagnosis: “I want to be the fun, goofy, scientific guy. Not like the guy with cancer who fights anxiety.”
She asked that fans refrain from sharing healthcare advice and making a big deal out of her battle with cancer. Instead, he asked to sign up for his newsletters and recommend outlets that are “really dumb that couldn’t make you cry” as he undergoes chemotherapy. “I desperately need to distract myself,” he said. “As you can see, I’m fine, but I’m not fine and it sucks.”

At the end of the clip, Green said that he hopes it’s not his final “Vlogbrothers” video, but said, “If it is, it is.” And he added: “We will solve it as we go. One day at a time.”
Green earned a devoted following through his YouTube content, including short history and biology videos on the CrashCourse channel, co-created with John. The brothers created the Vlogbrothers channel in 2007.
On the Vlogbrothers channel, the brothers take turns posting videos directed at each other. The channel touts a following of more than 3.5 million subscribers. Green published his other book, “A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor,” in 2020 following the 2018 publication of “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing.”
Continuing his health update in the video description Friday, Green said the “cancer has not spread anywhere from its original location” in the left armpit and chest area.
That’s “very good news,” he said.
