The harsh reality of cancer is that it doesn't always result in success stories. 

Not all cancer fights are triumphant, and as much as that leaves us with a terrible knot in our tummies, it is a reality we choose to highlight in a positive way. 

Because there are those who fight cancer and prevail, and their stories should be the ones that hype up the fight against this horrid disease.  

This man's story is one such story that needed sharing. His name is Brian Stanley and he is from California, USA. 

He recently posted a video of himself sharing that after losing his eye to cancer, he decided to turn his eye into a flashlight. 

Sounds crazy, we know, but amazingly innovative.

His eye is a Titanium Cyborg Eye and he demonstrated how it can be used as a head lamp.

We only ever thought we would see this in movies, but here he is marketing his invention and even showing us how it is used. 

Check out this video below, where he demonstrates putting his prosthetic eye in place. After receiving many comments about whether it is a camera filter or a contact lens, this is what he said.
