Someone on Destiny's Reddit clipped the important part.
Very interesting video. Firstly, without intending to be funny, just for information: you're using the stethoscope the wrong way around, Lead Attorney:
That said, I didn’t watch the entire video (as it’s almost 5 hours long), but the little I watched made me surprised by Lead Attorney's charisma. He probably reflected on all of this for quite a while before coming public, and he seems to be handling it all very maturely. He discussed very serious topics in a quite relaxed manner, which isn’t naturally easy. And he talked about his experience of the whole process, which I found very interesting. The use of the soundboard and multiple interruptions to read superchats were the only things that made me want to stop listening, though.
He doesn't confirm as far as I've watched, but from what he mentioned about the diagnostic and treatment process (use of steroids, autologous bone marrow transplant), it seems to be some type of Lymphoma with a initial bone marrow invasion at diagnosis. Undergoing an autologous bone marrow transplant isn't easy (nor cheap); he described the process very well (@ ~2h40min: The doctors’ CRAZY plan to save my life).
When doctors give a 5-year expectancy, it is based on past data statistics; there will always be deviations from the norm, and as time goes on, treatments advance, and the prognosis changes. So I hope he remains resilient without losing sight of reality. And I pray for the best for him!
