Wil Dasovich says having to fight cancer was his biggest challenge in life

By Maine Aquino

Wil Dasovich shared what happened to his life when he was diagnosed with cancer.

He said, “Anything that's dark, you know we could also make light out of it.”

Wil called his fight with cancer as the biggest challenge in his life. During that time, he was just starting to make a name in the YouTube community as a vlogger. He told his story at the AIA Online Health and Wellness Day with Nico Bolzico, Mond Gutierrez, and Anton Del Rosario.

“The biggest challenge of my life I'd say definitely was when I was first diagnosed with cancer and it came at an impeccable time in my life because it was when I was at the top.”

He added, “I'd been working all these years to get to where I am finally I made a name for myself the whole vlog thing started working out. I finally became successful in my career. Then, it's just like the world just stopped.”

According to Wil, no matter how hard his situation was, he learned how to face it.

“It's just something that I had to face... it's super difficult when you're faced with a challenge that you know nothing about. What I did was I just took it one day at a time.”

Wil continued, “Life is full of ups and downs and there's so much crazy and negative stuff and unfortunate events that happens in our lives but I found a way to always make something positive out of it.”

Wil decided to turn a difficult situation into something inspiring.

“How do I create value out of this crazy situation? And what I realized was I just went back to my roots, why do I do everything I do? Why do I create content? It's to make a positive impact. To influence people in a positive way and just figured out that maybe there is a reason.”

After being cancer-free, Wil realized a lot of things that happened before.

“I figured there were so many things I was doing wrong. There were so many things I can focus on for instance like sleep.”

He added, “I felt like before I was invincible now I realize that I'm vulnerable.”

Wil said that his main focus now is his health.

“I have to give myself the best chance I can. It really made me focus everything back to health.”
