I got cancer and all I have to show for it is this stupid rap.
…Just kidding.
But seriously. I did it… I wrote a rap about cancer. I think when you’re able to reflect back on a difficult experience and and turn it into something as ridiculous and hilarious as this rap is it means you’re headed in the right direction 🙂. I’m not totally out of the tunnel yet, but I’m close.
Shout out to all of my cancer friends out there reading this and to all the people I love who’ve been there for me. If you know someone who’d enjoy this, please share (I have no problem making a fool of myself if it’ll make another person laugh).
Also, feel free to call me E. Diddy from here on out.

Seriously love you Elana Miller. Through sickness and health. You rap like a…..! Peace be with you.
I agree completely John I love her too.
That was great! And it needs to be heard.
Elana you ROCK! I’ve been batteling a rare and aggressive cancer for 2.5 years. I’ve been following your journey and I want to thank you for your courage and inspiration.
Love this!!! Thank you for your honesty, you make me laugh and smile!
This made me smile. I’m glad to see you doing better. Everyday is a new day and we have to put one step in front of the other.
Wow!! That was amazing…in so many ways as a piece of art …as truth…
You are amazing. I will share with my son who is a cancer survivor.
Wow, just WOW! Loved it and you. Stay healthy and sassy.
I think you are just plain awesome.
Agreed, you are awesome…S well as bright and courageou. Thank you for sharing your story.
You rockkkk, E-Diddy!!!
You are an awesome inspiration to humanity! This amazing attitude of yours shows the fact that Cancer may have defeated your body (seems temporarily) but nothing on earth can defeat your spirit. And. those capable of laughing at themselves when practically the entire world waits to laugh at others only, that means you are extremely strong and wise as well. You know something Elana, obviously you would detest the cancer. But it has brought out the best in you – you seem to discover so many inner strengths you would otherwise have been ignorant of. I am not at all saying cancer is good thing. But I am saying that in your case it has embarked you on a journey (though tough) of brilliant self-discovery. And through it all, you keep inspiring so many others not to go down with a defeatist mindset but to search & bring up their hidden inner strengths too. Truly, you keep beaming the light showing the way . . . Great!
Elana, you are so beautiful and so brave!
You are spectacular!
That’s amazing!
You’re the best, Elana! Inspiring.
Enjoyed your video! As I do your blog! As a fellow cancer friend, your message inspires me! Thanks for sharing your vulnerability so that we may benefit and feel comfort.
Beautiful! I love the vibrancy flowing out you in all dimensions.
I hear you!
I love it!!!!!!
Hi E. Diddy! That was awesome! I’m gonna ask my son if there’s a possibility he can make a beat for your rap. I am musically ignorant and have no idea how difficult it will be, but he makes a lot of beats and is a killer musician (says momma, lol!). I’m so happy to see you doing well and healing, and what can I say… I love the hair!!! Sending you a big hug from San Diego, CA.
That would be awesome, Marlene!
You continue to inspire and uplift on so many levels. Go E. Diddy!
Fantastic and Amazing and Wonderful…
This was F’in awesome! You rock Elana! You are such an inspiration. I look forward to your posts and I’m happy to say you look amazing!
So awesome!! 🙂
Love it!!!!! You are amazing, inspire me too, to follow my path
Thank you. I love your spirit.
That was awesome! For all survivors of cancer and illnesses people have to take chemo for. Thanks!
Love this ! You made it through the darkness and into the light. As a fellow lymphoma fighter, I’ve had some of those drugs too, but still here to enjoy life.
Oh Elana, you are amazing!!! and I love your spirit and fun nature. As someone who is a little older than you…. ok probably a lot older than you…. I would have never thought of doing something like your rap. But by just trying to tell someone what you’ve been through or all the drugs you’ve taken, they think you are either lying or over exaggerating. You brought it to life and made it “legit”. I am going to share the crap out of this video, not because you are rapping about cancer, but just because you are an amazing person who the world deserves to get to know and love like so many of your followers do. You have helped me with my own cancer experience and I know there are many others out there that could use your inspiration and spirit.
LOVE this! ~ Thank you, Elana!
Thank you! You look and sound great! We always deny it but we love to hear it when we feel shitty!
Major props, Elana!!!
You are too cute. I love it! 😀
