- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2023
- A long overdue update!
Unfortunately, things aren't going the direction I was hoping. But I'm the happiest I've been in my life :)
The bullet-points:
- Signatera & CEA bloodwork both jumped 10x in the past 4 mos
- Onco estimates I have 2 - 6 months left
- 3 options are: experimental trial of immunotherapy, old chemo again, or do nothing
- New spot on head of pancreas (biggest threat right now)
- Liver spot stable
- Lung spots growing a bit
- how cancer has made me happier
All my love and prayers to every one of you! I know I can't respond to everyone, but I feel your love, and I appreciate you more than you know! :)

Please immediately check out DR Seyfried and stop any carbohydrates!!!! God bless you!
God bless you my friend!!! What is the best way to find out for certain you have cancer. My pancreas quit working after covid. I now can't eat even with the enzymes and my sugar levels are always high. I basically eat 1 pack of liptons soup a day now. My eyes and face turned yellow but then went back to normal on their own. I've had scans and even a liver biopsy but can't get a diagnosis. I sleep 20 hours a day. Zero energy. I know you're fighting for your life so I apologize for my question.
check out fenbendazole. joe rogan talked about it.
My wife was diagnosed stage 4 pancreatic adenocarcinoma on August 2021. Tumor in pancreas, 5 lesions in her liver, and numerous lesions in her abdominal lining. Doctors said 6 months. Her report said palliative care and scheduled for 12 cycles of Folfirinox. She ended up doing 20. Suffered severe neuropathy. Had a PET / CT scan with no evidence of disease on June 2022. Was prescribed a targeted therapy pill Olaparib. 5 scans later is still cancer free today. Neuropathy is completely gone. She fought and she clawed her way for more time. There is always hope.
That is just great to hear. Doctors don't have a timeline on our mortality. I have been fighting stage 3/4 (she doesnt know quite how to catogorize me) NSCLC since 2019. I'm still here fighting. Congrats on attaining NED. I hope to still get there.
Wow so great to hear !!! One of my uncle’s friend had pancreatic cancer 12 years ago and still living his best life now ! It’s so rare for pancreatic cancer but there is hope ❤
thank you for sharing ... I am having stage 4 pancan, adenocarcinoma and done 12 cycles of Folfirinox. Severe neuropathy on my fingers and esp affecting me much since I am a concert pianist. I love you said, "THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE" ... I am heading for nanoknife surgery. There is always hope esp when I surrender all to good God. this cancer brings back my attention to God and i live the fullest now entering my 11th month
That’s wonderful news! However, she was extremely lucky. Most people with stage 4 pancreatic cancer die from it(surviving stage 4 PANCREATIC cancer is literally as likely as winning the lottery).There is always hope but sometimes it’s not to be found in the next life and not this one.
That's great for your wife. Really. But not the norm and extremely extremely rare. Almost unbelievable. Yes there is always hope but when dealing with cancer, particularly terminal cancer, coming to terms with our life and death and being real is what needs focus.
Wow...I've just been overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and support from all of you. I don't even know what to say, other than THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart!! I feel surrounded by a warm group of friends, even though I haven't met most of you.
I've been unable to keep up with all of your touching and heartbreaking comments, though I wish I could let you all know how appreciative I am.
For all of you who are going through your own troubled times, please accept my deepest, warmest love and encouragement. None of us wanted to be in this situation, but we can all make the most of our trials, and hopefully find the deep internal peace we all wish for.
Just, thank you!! ♥
I’m in my early 60s and live in San Francisco. I enjoy good health and am blessed in many ways as you are … you’ll get through this. I go to Texas 3 times a year I find the people gracious with southern charm and beautiful countryside my best to you
Power off love is more often than not, invisible ❤. You are surrounded by ❤
Dan, you have time. Use AI to help you write that book. Essentially the AI would be only be a co-author, ghost writer, and editor. You would be the main author and the concepts would come from you. You could also use the AI as a sounding board and together you could generate profoundness.

If you need someone to be with you to grieve, I’m here. You don’t know me. I’m 52. Married, two kids. Adore them. A brother I’m very close with. And a best friend, who drives me crazy most of the time.😂 I’ve endured suffering for most of my life. Got breast cancer in 2021. So the hits keep coming. But sharing grieve is difficult. So I keep it hidden away from them. Mostly to protect their hearts. You remind me of my mother when she laid me down on her bed facing her to tell me she was going to die when I was 12. She died of colon cancer. I see the strength, the hope, the love, and the fear in you that she had. My heart breaks for you. I’m not religious so I won’t send prayers😂but I can send my hope for you and my time if you ever want to scream, cry, curse…I cuss like no other😂…say things you want to get off your chest, because honey, life is unfair. It really is. But that’s ok. It is what it is. I am serious as a deer tick that if you need someone to hear you without any judgement what so ever, I’m here. Hell, I might just add gas to your fire and we will just light up everything!😂Im sure you have many people who love you who you can talk to, but if you don’t, I’m here. Just let me know. I cuss in Spanish too.😂 Love you. Keep fighting. Sending you all my love and support.❤
I'm an old man and my body is telling me that I'm pretty close to the end. I want to live longer, and I want to enjoy life, but I can also accept the inevitable without too much grief. Ten years ago, I would have felt anxiety and trepidation. Now I just find acceptance. I only ask that it isn't painful, that it isn't unnecessarily prolonged, and that it happens in my own bed. Not really a big ask but it would be a blessing. I know that I have lived a full long life and that I made myself happy. I truly believe that my young adulthood was the golden age of America. It will never be that good again. I'm satisfied with my legacy.
Your generation definitely enjoyed the best of America.
Left nothing for the rest of us.
@@Been.Here.Since.2007 Not all of us were on board with that. I have watched FDR's economic legacy get incrementally destroyed, piece by piece, over decades. I fought against it every step of the way.
All hope was lost when Southern states rejected Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primaries in favor of identity politics. End result? The Democrats chose to fight Fox's culture war instead of fighting to stop the economic exploitation of working families. FOX is much better at culture war than Democrats are. The Democrats chose to fight the wrong political battle because they chose the wrong constituents to vet them (with the prodding of empty donor class promises). They paid the price with the election of Donald Trump. There is a reason why "woke" resonates with Republicans in such a resounding fashion.
That was PRECISELY the moment when this great nation went over the cliff. Sanders was the BEST candidate of my lifetime (even better than RFK) and America passed him by. You are definitely in deep doo doo now.
@@proudliberal605 Fair enough.
I'm turning 50 in a few weeks so I'll be honest, I probably lived during some of that great era as well.
The 80s and 90s were pretty neat.
I've got a few children that are navigating this current life fairly well considering the pitfalls created by their own "elected" officials.
@@Been.Here.Since.2007Baby - well named pal
I am old, and feel tired. Some days I feel unable to keep going.
But I do keep going. But it's ok to let go. Life may end soon, and it is ok!!
here is a guy staring death in the eyes and does not even flinch. what a thoughtful introspective well put together post.
My uncle was diagnosed with throat cancer and given 6-9 months to live. He got a second opinion, long story short that was 18 years ago and just celebrated his 85th birthday. Don't give up. ❤
How wonderful!!!
You have such a happy outlook I pray they r wrong and your life is extended to an old age.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
That’s fabulous!!
What did he do
This guy's ability to come across upbeat when hes been told his cancer is spreading is... remarkable. He must be an amazing man.
He’s one of the best human beings you’ll ever meet. And a true healer also. He healed me from sciatica pain on my left hip that had been there for years. One visit to Dr. Bockmann and I was doing better the next day. Now I follow his exercises religiously
🙏
I can tell hes a natural educator, even given the worst info hes ever gotten hes utilizing it as a teaching moment.
This videos fkin real man and i need to get my shit together, im throwing my life away and this guy looks super fking healthy and hes gotten this news.
We all need that whisky and a cigar ffs lol(100 man who drank and smoked every day)
No, he knows his time is short and is likely in some degree of fear.
I get upset that doctors that give treatment, and say this is your best chance. Then it spreads and all they did made it worse.
I refused major operation 19 years ago. Doctors said I would die. I got third opinion and lived to see my 8 year old grow up.
I could go on and on. If I could sue MD Anderson radiologist I would. I almost died twice. Tort reform is why I can’t. Our immune system is what they should be trying to make stronger so it eats up the cancer. But they made 2000 a week for my chemo pills. And 5000 a week for radiation. They make so much money from this way. It’s a business. Period.
My 31 year old daughter passed away from cancer 3 years ago and God is the only way I could survive because Jesus was with me and her. I will see her again.
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. My heart breaks for you. Sending prayers your way. ❤🙏🏻❤️
Amen I pray you ok🩵
err, if god is real, then god gave her cancer.
@@johncampbell9120 or perhaps god doesnt exist and cancer happens because of epigenetic and genetical reasons vs. a supernatural evil power who desires control and submission above all else use magic to cause harm to others and benefit to others ?
@@johncampbell9120 see I see what you doing and hurting this person faith by saying what you just said that is so evil of you to do When God is her Hope.Secondly to be away from the body is to be present with the lord in heaven that Child is living a happy peaceful life in Heaven with Our father Jesus Christ try again next time
After being a Marine, and seeing my mom (and best friend) die from cancer during hospice care in my living room, I thought I had more strength and courage.. You are a different breed entirely to be so positive. I hope you recover sir.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know it’s over said, but I truly mean it. I’ve walked a similar path. My uncle who was just 6 years older than me so more like a brother & best friend, passed away last March from a combination of cancer & kidney failure. He’d been sick his whole life, but when he found out he was terminal, his only wish was to be at home. So we made it happen & took care of him in his last 2 & 1/2 months. It open your eyes to things you’ve never seen, teaches you things you never knew & brings you to your knees. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through, but I’d do it again a million times over.
@@d.j.daugherty4945 You are an amazing person as well & thank you for your reply & for serving our country

My mom had cancer and was given 6 month, she lived another 6 years. There is hope!
@@user-zv2sy2ob7y
How did you rid hsv2? Fasting?
No hope with pancreatic, bud. It's a death sentence and he has it in the worst possible spot. Giving false hope is far crueler than speaking the truth.
@@emberrise9217 I agree! I would not even go for chemo or any of that shit, I would quit my job and do whatever I please and enjoy life for whatever time I had left and let nature do its thing. Prolonging something that that will eventually get you anyways is not for me.
He looks healthy and fit like he has been taking good care of himself for many years and yet he has cancer. Here I am a lazy over weight guy with a poor diet and drinking a ton of booze 4 or 5 days a week. Life really is weird and unfair. I hope you get better Dr. Dan.
Maybe you didnt take the covid vaccines or just lucky, or cancer with no symptoms like the other comment you got.
@@Mikael-jt1hknot necessarily. Millions of people have bad lifestyles and never had health problems.
@@Mikael-jt1hkhis point is life is unfair and u never really know when ur time is coming. You could do everything to live a healthy life and die young from a horrible disease and u could live unhealthy lives and yet make it to old age.
@@111Mfreeman absolutely, life is unfair. There's no rhyme or reason behind any of it. Live your life to the fullest because who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Life is unfair like that.
Dan, I lost my husband to liver cancer in 2018 and yesterday I found out I have to have open heart surgery for an aortic aneurysm. I have to tell my children today. This is your legacy, your strength is giving me strength. God bless you, thank you for sharing your experiences. Much ❤️!
I pray for your recovery!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is my first time watching your videos. The fact that you’re emotionally stable and composed enough to make this video a day after finding out that you’re terminal is absolutely mind boggling. To top it off you look relatively young and in great shape. Whatever path you choose I hope a miracle comes your way. Life can be so fucking unfair.
My 42 year old mother had stage four cancer and was down to 72 lbs at one point. I remember rubbing her sore back in her hospital bed and seeing and feeling her ribs, she was in so much pain and her doctors didn't think she would make it through the night. She made it through that night... and TWENTY SEVEN MORE YEARS! There were a lot of hard times make no mistake about it, she did suffer a lot, however she also had many good years and lived to be 69 years old. Keep the faith, God bless to all of you and your families.
keep the faith in WHAT? in WHO?
exactly....radiation? Chemo?? Surgery after surgery?? until you are weak and without an immune system?? @@faithahora
Wow amazing story. These doctors don't know nearly enough to help most people. Just a bunch of over opinionated egos that lust for a title
@@johnlukach4091 I don’t know. Many doctors care a lot about their patients and do all they can to provide the best treatment advice. It’s the balance of being realistic while providing hope for the possibility of a better outcome. There are always the patients who overcome the odds and live cancer-free for many more years.
@@faithahoraI won't tell you to keep faith in God because He abandoned me when He knew what was going to happen. I wish I could say there is a God that will make your life complete and happy. I wish I could tell you there is no God. That would make things easy, but I can't. I know 100% He exists. Here will be your sign: When you see that chunck of land fall off the big Island of Hawaii you will know there is a God and there was a prophet among you that no one hears. I dont know the date but the signs point to the number 24. Next year is 2024. The total eclipse in the U.S. next year will be on 4/8/24. 48÷2=24+24/24. I was given a ton of signs. You dont want to hear them.
I was a hospice nurse for seven years, worked with many terminal people during the rest of my career as a nurse. This life is not all there is. I have witnessed firsthand the most amazing things as people transitioned from this life to the next. My son has visited me many times, mostly in dreams since he died 16 years ago at age 32. Enjoy each day, love and forgive, especially yourself. ❤️🙏❤️
I believe that one hundred percent
♥
Your last statement, especially yourself, really hits the nail on the head I think for everybody bless you and enjoy every single day🌼
I like your optimism. I Would like you to go into more detail abut your diet. Why is dairy not good for you, also what is the critical problem other than the pancreatic stent that causes the 3-5 month timeline, your tumors are small, you have no breathing or heart issues. you feel well - could you also tell us a little bit about your lifestyle. We know you love exercising and you are very fit. Outside of work what are your other interests. You could help a lot of people by reviewing what your early symptoms were and why you didn’t gets a colonoscopy sooner. Thanks.
Yeh no. It’s drugs and just what happens when you start to lose consciousness. You hallucinate. Calm down.
Please continue to post Dan. It’s impossible to reconcile how great you look with your diagnosis. I was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago. Mine is early stage. I agree. Cancer woke me up. I looked at a starling today and felt privileged to be able to observe the beauty of nature. Most of my life has been spent in a mental stew of reconciling childhood trauma. It is absolutely time to smell the roses. I’m 64 now and only beginning to appreciate the beauty in this world. It has also helped me find a more meaningful spirituality. Thank you for raising these topics and helping to teach us about the mindset cancer drives.
Yesterday I was told cancer had metastastised to my brain. I had major surgery in Nov and have been feeling much better. Your video reflects my situation perfectly. Focusing on the good, sharing as much positivity with you and all of us on the final laps of our personal human race. ❤️
Come to Islam Nellah. You will never regret it. Maybe that's why God gave you a second chance.
I say go to an Orthodox Church and even suggest you look for yourself. Don’t need to trust anyone blindly.
How are you doing? I hope better.
Man. You can speak about this with such calm and self-possession. It's very hard to believe - you look so healthy. You clearly have immense mental strength, character, and an all important sense of humour. If anyone is going to defy a prognosis, I'd put my money on you. I wish you the absolute best.
Well said
I was thinking the same thing.He is so courageous,aside from looking insanely healthy.I hope he defies his prognosis.
Miracle does happen 🙏
Well said. I am thinking the same thing. He looked so fit. I honestly don't understand.....😢😢😢
@@freedancejvs7402 It is the ugly face of cancer. Often it doesn't show up until the final phase is in full swing and then it goes fast. Very scary.
Dan I never, ever comment on videos but I just had to tell you this. My Mum had stage 4 bowel cancer and my brother and I were told on Christmas Eve to take her home from hospital and to give her a good Christmas as it was going to be her last one. We felt the bottom had dropped out of our world. We took her home and tried to make it special but we were so sad at what was coming. And yes Dan, my Mum did die............. 20 years later! What I am trying to tell you is please, please keep on hoping and keep on living. My thoughts and prayers are with you x
What sis she so different? Please I am so scared 💔
@@Moreliana She carried on with the treatment regime and although the doctors thought different, she firmly believed she would get better, and we all prayed so hard too and thank God, she recovered. I am so sorry you are so scared, it may not mean much but I will say a prayer for you x
@@cathysindall3603the God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob says prayer matters. He instructs us to pray. So there's that

U are amazing my prayers love flowing ur way hoping u make every day a great day
My Mom was diagnosed w/ Stage IV colon cancer at age 50; received 5FU; had 3 colon resections & lived 40 more years. She outlived some of her doctors. One of her doctors thought she had died because she’d never called back.
That is wonderful to hear! I had stage 3b colon cancer and received 5FU. I'm 5 1/2 years clear now. The 5FU has worked for me too.
@@MaryC-ug4pf I know this might be a dumb question… But what is 5FU?
It's a type of chemotherapy @@Cous5352
I asked myself what my cancer was here to teach me. Three words just spontaneously came to me: Gratitude, courage, and compassion. I know I have to work on all three. Don't say you don't have a chance to do those things you want to do - see yourself finishing that book. What we believe will happen, will happen.
It's hard to believe 2-6 months because you look so good, so healthy.
I’m honestly shocked bcuz of how healthy he looks ..
I was thinking the same . Plus he obviously has taken good care of himself.
I thought the same.
My 23 year old , vibrant ,beautiful healthy niece had liver angiosarcoma and passed 3 weeks after climbing and camping in The French Alps. Lungs and liver tragically are 2 of the main places in our bodies that metastasize so easily. She did not “ get” to do treatment. But she enjoyed her last months. So palliative care can sometimes be time better spent. Immunotherapy can be very aggressive . A stage 1 trial is not a stage 3 trial. Diet at this point will not make a difference. I don’t know where you are getting your advice from, but oncologists from MD Anderson tell patients to eat what they want and enjoy.
@@Serenitynow958then I wouldn’t listen to them. Diet absolutely matters. That’s serious crazy talk.
24 years ago I was told I had a year to live. Here I am. And looking this good! Sending you positive vibes.
I’m glad you’re around 🙂
🙏
Did you receive a miracle?
Sending YOU continued good vibes!!!!! ❤❤🎉
Prayers are what he needs, cuz prayers call on God. "Positive vibes" are a new age lie. Call upon God. ✝️
My coworker had breast cancer 23 years ago. She is in her 70s and working with us daily..no issues.
Open the door, go outside and live. Live everyday you have left. Outside where you can breathe. Live until you can live no more. Live every day. Outdoors. Know that nature and being part of it now is all that counts.
My mother had breast cancer that spread. She was in her 60s. She is 99 today, still enjoying life. Keep the faith. You can and will win this fight.
Always keep
Believing.
Thank you for this!!
I have stage 4 breast cancer I’m my bones. ER Postive. Thank you for sharing that that makes me feel so hopeful. I was diagnosed November 2020 they thought it was early stage until they did my scans. I’ve been stable with my disease since then thank God… Stage four cancer is a very scary thing, but there are so many treatments out there. Sometimes it’s just finding the right combination of treatment…❤
pancreatic cancer is different tho.
If someone chooses to accept that their cancer will be terminal (not necessarily referring to this man, but in general) and forgoes continued chemo and radiation, it does now mean they aren't a "fighter". That terminology, that someone needs to continue to "fight" or else they are letting cancer "win" makes me so sad. Some cancers are just too strong. We need to stop putting the onus on the severely sick person to keep "fighting". Easy to say when you aren't the one feeling so sick.
My ex wife was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer in 2013 she is still alive today and doing great ! Stay positive doctor !
Yay!!!!
Amen.
I am a 75-year-old woman with COPD and I can hardly walk to do bone on bone on both knees. I've been evangelizing since I was 62 when I truly got saved I have found out from Reading scripture that I know for sure there's an afterlife and it's so easy to get to heaven all you have to do is as simple as repenting and accepting the Lord and his sacrifice for us. It is truly that simple I know I'm a bit older than you but when I got saved at 62 I was ready to go because of my belief system. It is an intense feeling and when God reveals himself to you it even gets more intense I know my health is failing as well and I don't know if I will make the Rapture of the church which we do not know when is coming but I know where I'm going when I take that last breath. I wish you all the best and if that time does come I pray that way before that time comes that you do you have a belief system and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ period of course I don't know that and I don't mean to sound pushy, but you have just touched my heart. You seem like one of the best people that I could have ever had the pleasure of meeting so I felt compelled to write a little something. May God give you the desires of your heart and when you steal those flowers outside that's when I decided to write you this because if you think what you saw outside here on this Earth was beautiful just wait till you enter Paradise. And it's as simple as 1-2-3 period a person does not have to be in any way perfect. I wish you the best and I will be praying for you sir. I was in LPN and my two daughters are registered and the only believes in the family are myself and my 20 year old grandson again God bless you. You have a wonderful wonderful attitude I imagine you would be a great addition to heaven if and when it comes to that. We know that we're close to the end and living in the end times just based on the world events. Again I say made the Messiah bless you and keep you amen🎉
Good man, I got soo much out oif this video, I was nodding the entire time. I will pray for you my brother. It's not a little story mate, it really hit me. God bless you. Lots of love from Australia
I was diagnosed 3 years ago with stage 4 lung, lymph and bone cancer. I was give 3-6 months .....I went thru radiation, chemo , immunotherapy (keytruda) and a targeted therapy for my bone cancer. It has been tough but I am still here and most of my cancer is gone and the spots that I do have are stable. I am praying for you that you will find strength, do not give up - Miracles do happen !
My husband was diagnosed last year with stage 4 lung with brain mets. He was on pembrolizumab and all tumors shrank in lungs and lymph nodes by 60%. He started having back pain in the vertebrae they kept saying it was a side effect from treatment... It was spinal metastasis 7 tumors on his spine. I read the life expectancy and was just crushed, you gave me some hope here. He starts radiation in a week and half then chemo
@@jacquieclancy8345 Your hope is with god. The next life will be glorious- not to be feared. We all will transition at some point. Lean into your faith now more than ever. His body may well fail but the good news is his spirit is healthier than ever and it never dies. I know spirit are real. I have seen them clearly and no, I am not a nut. I seriously have.

I happened across your video and you have a profound message in it that I can only pray anyone that comes in contact with this content will take and apply to their daily lives. I too had the same feeling as you about life although I have always been a caring and giving person sometimes it wasn't always because I truly wanted to be. I often did it because I felt I just needed to. Now that I accepted truly accepted Jesus as my personal Savior I feel the intense feelings you spoke of in your video. Just like you said it's like I see everything so differently now and I truly am at a heightened sense of peace and calm and that feels wonderful after suffering from anxiety. I will be praying for him to give mental and physical strength that is sufficient for your journey. I do not fear death, of course I will miss everyone here but I am positive I will see them again and reside in a place of unspeakable beauty. GOD BLESS YOU and many prayers coming your way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with others.😊
Great ! Positive is important! Prayer and trust in God too !

I'm so glad for you live your best life or as good as you can manage survive the fight then you must recover from the fight .
Glad you are cancer free now. Can you share more of your story with us and what helped you become cancer free?
@@patrickrobertson7290 I cut out all sugar all carbs almost starved myself drank mounds of water and trained my ass off to stay strong - I know none of those things cure cancer but they made me feel like I was fighting in my own way. I went through all the necessary treatment as well...after all that I guess it's just the luck of how the dice falls for you.
@@darrenkelfkens8539 Thanks for your prompt response. It takes a motivated and a very strong individual to do all of that and come out as you did. Wow. What meds were prescribed to you as part of your treatment? Ive read so much and have heard of some that have been so helpful with some people coming also victorious on the other side. Anyway, thanks again for taking the time and I wish you the very best.
My mom had stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which spread to her spleen and was given no more than two years to live max. She had intense chemotherapy and a year of total hell, but guess what?? After the chemo the cancer never came back and she moved to Florida and lived 30 more years and had a wonderful fun life. She lived just 2 months short of her 90th birthday and she did not die of cancer. So as you can see miracles happen every day and never never give up!!!!.... NEVER!!!🙏👍
She was truly blessed ❤
Happy Birthday! 🎂 I just happened to watch this video today and you mentioned your birthday was today. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful message. I really needed to hear it this morning. I hope you're feeling well and have a great day today!!! You're in my prayers 🫂
You are amazing. I hope you are well and pain free!
20 years ago I was told to get my things in order, fired that Dr and got another. Next 2 Drs were fired and I moved on to another. I decided on chemo and radiation and I'm here today to wish you love and peace in all your decisions. It is your life, so don't be afraid to offend a Dr or 2 along your journey. Plus there are new procedures that come to light every day. Keep the faith, you are loved.
AmEn to that stick up for yourself Drs Western medicine only know so much
This. Underrated comment. Congrats on your recovery and for being strong enough to fight for your life.
You didn’t fire the doctors - they didn’t work for you. You simply chosen another one, but I’m glad you’re better.
One treatment of chemotherapy caused me so much unnecessary stress … I decided to stop chemo , my oncologist wasn’t too happy with my decision, but I knew it was the right thing for me to do.. all my blood work has been good except for low RBC and my cancer markers are lower than I thought it was possible for them to go.. right now I’m in a good place and glad I stood strong and made that decision!!! I have faith that my Heavenly Father watches over me and sends angels to comfort me. Stay strong young man.. you got this!!
👍
Yes!!
Wow, what a heartfelt tribute and realistic viewpoints about realizing life ends for all of us, and the honesty about what we all need to realize we have right now. This has been a really great video of honesty, feelings and the reality we all will face one day. Thank you so much for your openness and expressing yourself so clearly. You’re an incredible human being my friend. I was in a plane crash that went down from 10,000 feet and survived. As bad as that was, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Changed my life in so many great ways, just like you are finding.
I wish you lots of strength for the coming months and I hope you get plenty of chances to do the things you wanted to do.
My aunt is currently going through a similar journey. She's also stage 4 with liver and lung metastasis and the tumor recently bursted her colon, requiring emergency surgery. The information you share helps us know what to expect, so we can provide better support. I'm personally also going through cancer post-treatment, but I fortunately caught it at stage 1, so it's very mild... Wishing you all the best!
Every cancer is different, so what happened in my case, may not apply to yours. Thirty-two years ago, my cat indicated that I had cancer in my left breast. It took two years, and several physicians, to get a mammogram ordered. By then, the cancer had spread throughout my body. I totally changed my life, including moving to a new house and taking a new job, and got my affairs in order. As tumors developed, new treatments came on the market. Each new treatment suppressed the cancer long enough for a new treatment to be available. As a result, I am living a fairly normal life with stage 4 cancer. I treat each day as if it will be my last day, since that is highly possible. As you say, cancer forces us to examine our lives and see what is really important to us. When I leave this life, it will be after living life to its fullest. Not everyone can say that.
Good for you! You seem to be at peace, and I think that that, is very important! God bless.❤
My future mother-in-law had a double mastectomy over five years ago. I don't know if she had any more help from the traditional medicine. I gave her two words of advice. She has no trace of cancer today. Breast cancer is only a problem for the truly ignorant. Any young dietician knows how to get rid of it.
I was wondering how did your cat let you know?
He kept pawing my left breast. Another cat discovered the tumor on my head, and yet another cat kept pawing my right chest and tumors were found in my right lung and lymph nodes. So far, the cats are batting a thousand. The cats discovered the tumors before the physicians. Cats, dogs, and rats have all shown they can detect cancer cells but not all animals will let their owners know. There is also a woman who can detect Parkinson's, from scent on clothing, very reliably.
During the surgery to remove the tumor on my cervix/Uterus I had a heart attack, died, and was in a coma for 14 days...I am hear to tell you that you carry your memories over and a different realm of life goes on...I no longer fear death...that surgery was in 1995...in 2016 it came back....I fought hard & won...now it's back again and we are in the similar time boats, maybe me a little sooner, I have active Lupus attacking my liver n kidneys....Prayers to you AND please DO NOT FEAR....
Technically you didn't die.
I pray for the sick and dying often. May God bless you all.
Praying for you both! There is great chance of God giving miracles.
@DianaDreams you’ve been a recipient! Amen and Hallelujah!
I love Dr Dan’s attitude and I pray he gets a direction for his cancer that his heart approves of. 🙏🙌❤
Prayers 🙏❤️ to you
Prayers for you., Dr Dan! You are incredible and an inspiration to me❤
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You made it like you wanted ❤
Oh Dan my heart is breaking with the unfairness of this x keep fighting and I’ll send all my love and strength from the uk x and a huge hug!
My 40 yr old daughter fought and won stage 4 breast cancer. We are very thankful for her doctors and treatments. One day at a time. God bless you
Please try salvestrol (natural compounds). There are some research papers in humans. Please read the paper: jeffreydachmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Savestrol-Cases-Studies_JOM_2007_v22_n04_p177.pdf
Salvestrol is developed at the university. This is not to replace orthodox medicine and it is not known whether it would interfere with regular medical treatment.
What treatments did she receive? Did she receive Enhertu ?
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer when she was fifty two. She was given 3 to 6 months. She had 3 years most of it quality time. Every minute counts. Prayers for you dear man. ❤
Hello, I have read several encouraging notes. I wish they would let me know if they did the medicine or not. That would make me go the way I need to go. Some say no others others yes. Right now I'm say no but maybe I need to take the medicine. I have pancreatic and liver cancer. I've been blessed with some of the answers they. But just let me know if should. I think my other problem is I have no friends. I was a pastor for six years. The friends I had then have all abandoned me. The only one whose never left me is JESUS! That's the main one I suppose. But I really believe that if the people that I ministered to came around that would be a great blessing. I still seek the LORD especially when I'm hurting. I have been divorced for about 15 years. Yes I have asked God to bring her back but to no avail. I have 3 daughters but only 1 talks to me. I live in Amarillo Texas she lives in Arkansas. The other 2one lives here the other 45 miles from. I need to stop writing, thank you for listening. Love all of you and I'll keep praying for y'all ❤️. Steve Carbajal write me, thank you.
I just found this video. It takes courage to make this video. I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in March. I am 72 and following a holistic approach, not chemo or immunotherapy. I work out 5 days a week and have been doing so for years. I have had a very full life having lived and worked in many different countries since I was 19. I have been going through a lot of the stages you are describing. Yes, there is a silver lining. BTW, I also believe in reincarnation. This is not the end of the road, it is just another "pelt" that we are shedding and moving on to learning new lessons in the next life!! Be strong and keep up your faith!
Sending you best wishes for the happiest of days for whatever time you may have left! May your next journey be a wonderful one. Much love from Australia xxx
Sorry to say you won’t be here in by end of year. That holistic shit only does so much.
It was great talking to ya, enjoy this little time you have left.
God bless you, Dan. What a wonderful human being you are. This video will move and help many people; I'm sure of it. I'm sending you my best wishes, as well as my deepest respect.
My experience has been that having cancer makes the world brighter because suddenly I'm living with nothing to lose. I'm afraid of pain, but I try to remind myself that hospice and palliative care will be
there when I need them. Go brightly and deeply into this world...and maybe we'll meet in the next! 😊
it sure makes life intense, emotions stronger. Good luck Sherry
You have a wonderful attitude to life, I'm not facing any illness (yet), but I'm going to try to live like that while I'm here!!
You've got balls of steel, my friend. You're more emotionally steady and stable than many people are even under normal circumstances. No need to tell you to stay strong, because you obviously are. All I can really say is best of luck, man. Hang in there.
You keep pulling Get on the joe tippons and Jane McClelland, how to Starve Cancer protocols.

@@someguy2249 he's a DC so my statement doesn't matter..
Loved listening to you talk about this... it made me think about my own life and diverted more attention to things that matter - people! I wish you all the very best. Actually I've seen you posted a video 1 day ago which I'll definitely watch after this! So happy to see you're still around and feeling better! This video and your thoughts really resonated with me and I thank you for sharing. Oh, we're also born on the same date, 18th of Nov, so cool :)
Dan, you are an unbelievable individual. I worked as a volunteer at a palliative care unit and the people were amazing who were facing the end with grace and humor. It still brings back amazing memories.
You've hit the acceptance stage Dr. Dan. I was diagnosed with cancer in Jan. 2015. The way you described the trees, grass, birds, etc, is the EXACT same way I felt. I beat it and am cancer free but that really taught me that all the normal everyday stresses in life is really nothing to worry or stress over. I learned to love deeper and speak softer. I'll be praying for you Doc!
Words to live by
@@efteesteinwe’re all gonna die soon you need to accept it and return to Allah
Love deeper and speak softer.. That struck a cord
Fuck that go out like Walter White
❤Please try gratitude. I've read one Jewish book about gratitude: people wrote about how they didn't have something, wanted it so much, and they started practicing gratitude for about half an hour/hour each day. And they got what they wanted! Heavens are very generous. Remember this please: 'Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.'
22 years ago I had breast cancer our son was 6 years old, I remember standing outside and looking up to the sky and thinking for the first time In my life I could die. Like everyone I took life for granted and didn't give it a thought, it's not till you are thrown this curve ball that shatters your life and scares you to the core. I cried when I saw that sky and so wanted to live I was so lucky as I had breast surgery and reconstruction and I'm 65 and our son is 28 and we live a wonderful life. I am sending g you so much love and hope and this has deeply affected me, my heart truly goes out to you and your family xxxxxxxxx❤❤❤❤
Oh I am so glad to hear your story! Thank you for sharing! I love got to spend that precious time with your son, raising him. I hope you both have a long, rich and rewarding lives ❤
I assure you that your meaningful insights and incredible awareness are 😅soaking in to so many who are watching and listening. We thank you and I do pray intently for you!
@@DrDanSays what mutation is your cancer? There is a miracle drug for colorectal cancer that was given to 12 patients and every single one there tumors vanished this is the first time in history this has happened. It’s called Dostarlimad brand name Jemperli. Maybe you can look in to and get more time which I hope I’m fighting cancer too and it’s a hell of a fight.
I admire your courage to speak about your life at this moment. We are all aware of our life span yet we forget the real life that is there. Wish you all the best.
@@DrDanSays I prayed for you friend. And would only ask that you accept Jesus Christ. May you be well
Love you, brother, praying for you. We're all here for an instant, and not one little piece of the love you've given ever goes away.
We love you too, Dr Dan. This video is amazing. I’m sorry and thank you. ❤
Dr. Dan - my family spoke your name in our prayers last night, and we will continue to pray for your healing, strength, body, and spirit. You are a light in this world and your sentiments about what really matters and what to intentionally value in this life, are captured beautifully. Stay strong, Dr. Dan. We're all with you. 🙏🏼
🥲
Thank so beautiful
@@DrDanSays
Just came across your video. Try high alkaline diet. Also placing Castor oil packs on top of the tumours. It will heal. Check Barbara O'Neill.
High antioxidants too. Like SOD tea, etc
Avoid acidic foods too.
why don't you tell him about salvation through the Name of Jesus, as there is no other name under Heaven by which men must be save but by and through the Name of Jesus. Acts 4:12
Why would U pray to a god that allows cancer to exist?
My mom was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and was told that if she survived the first four weeks, she’d have a 5% chance of living 2 years. Ten years later, she’s still here. Yes, there is hope. But most importantly, there is love. Have faith, my friend. You are in my prayers.
L, no ml. Koo.
❤
You give so much with these videos! Many, many thanks 🙏
Thank you for this beautiful video Dr. Dan to remind us what truly matters in the world. I wish you a speedy recovery and many happy and healthy days ahead.
Dr Dan, my heart breaks for you. I felt every word you said. I too have a horrible prognosis. You found every word I’ve been trying to say the last few years. I have metastatic breast cancer (stage IV), like you, no cure. Bone and liver metastases.
I just want to hug you right now. You hit the nail on the head when you said, you look at the trees and it seems so much more ‘real’. Take comfort in nature. Sit with your bare feet in a stream or paddle in the sea. Lay in the grass and watch the clouds. Roll with the peace. Wrap yourself in nature, it’s so comforting.
You’re not alone. I get you 100%, we know what’s important, love, family and the simple things, don’t let anything else interfere with that now.
Wishing you comfort, strength, love and peace. You’ve got this.🙏🏻🌻🌻🌻
💕
❤❤ am stage IV METS also. So beautifully said! Thank you!
What a lovely reply, teared me up.
I'm so sorry. :(
Yes family (if people have decent family of course) is a blessing.
I had cancer in 2022. We prayed (sons and I). I was cut from left to right literally across my stomach to get to my liver and had lots cut out. Months of recovering. But even before that gallbladder cancer was finally found and first an operation for that, plus pancreatic procedure, ...plus colonoscopy (yikes) and endoscopy and non stop ct scans and a couple of MRIs and usual lot of blood tests. Plus C.diff infection in hospital which was dangerous and I was in isolation.
Sigh. Praise the Lord clear for now. Both operations were quite fast
(Only 3 months between). I wasn't worried when I got the diagnosis firstly but you do seem to really appreciate things. So now just had covid in June and now got a virus and chest infection. Still, I'm greatful as able to have gone to family wedding and also welcomed a new grandchild. Glad I know Jesus. So glad I didn't have to have chemo. (One of my sisters died from oesophagal cancer).
Animals are such precious company too for anyone. Jesus is the healer and deliverer and you can be healed (unless the actual number of your days comes up I guess). The Lord says He knows the number of our days. (My father died years ago of colon cancer).
Dr. Dan, I've never heard someone capture the cancer experience so perfectly and eloquently. Every day we have in this world is a gift. I wish more people realized that. And like you said, all the trappings of society are really meaningless. It's the small moments in life that bring the most joy. From a 2X survivor in Chicago.
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I totally understand. I am a cancer survivor. Prayers are powerful! Keeping you in my prayers. Stay positive. Miracles do happen...
Bless you Dr. Dan. Thank you. Bless you and thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feelings and thoughts about your cancer.
I am an elderly person, just about to turn 70. I have had many close calls in my life.
I also want to share that I had an NDE at age 6 from scarlet fever. I want to assure you that there IS life after death. It's harder for me to be here in the physical world and body. I never discussed my NDE with anyone until I was in my 40's. Who would believe a 6-year-old, right? I've learned to rely strictly on my Faith. Faith over Fear is my gut belief. Our earth experience is temporary. As the body shrinks, the soul expands. The body dies, but your soul lives forever. That is God's Promise to all of us.
nice message
That was wonderful thank you
Maybe that's why my mind wants to know how to do better and wants to go to the bible.
Thank you
Do you mean DNR? Do not resuscitate? You’re right there’s always hope.
I think she means Near Death Experience @@janerainsford8996

I am so sorry for your loss, I know how you fee. I just lost my grandmother who's more like my mother from s4 lung cancer Sept 10th, I khavent even began to mourn yet
@@Tha_G0at thankyou, it's not easy to come to terms with is it! x
Today has been a really weird day. I felt like I was out of my own body for much of the day. And I have been unwell health wise for quite some time. My body is slowly declining and I fully expect it will continue to decline based on my health issues. And I don’t know how much longer I will be around either. So I was in a place of watching videos today of people with serious health issues, to see how people handle the things they are going through.
And up popped your video and like 5-6 other RUclipsrs today. Who are knee deep in cancer diagnosis, treatment and/or nearring the end. It reminded me how precious life is. I am saying a prayer for you. And the others I saw today. You are handling this news like a true warrior.
I’m a survivor. Breast cancer. I’m six years out. No one knows how long we really have. God bless you.
Before my brother passed, he was 3 yrs old, he went to visit the sick children in the hospital before his surgery and told the kids not to be afraid because angels told him not to be afraid. He died in surgery that day. Remember, God loves you.
What a powerful, courageous, child of God

New subscriber here. My brother brought me to your page. I would first like to thank you for sharing your journey with us. I am learning so much from all of the options about our health and what happens if and when we are faced with health issues like this. Your positivity and outlook is admirable. You are an inspiration to all of us. I feel you will get that chance to give back what you have received as you were saying. You are already giving back to us with sharing your knowledge. Your powerful message there is a lot more to life is so so true. Many blessings.
I’m really sorry man, I believe you can get through this, but i’m sorry for the news because I know this must be tough❤.
My mother was diagnosed with stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer 7 years ago & she’s still alive. If she can survive, so can you!!
I just saw this by chance, I will keep you in my prayers. I have two people fighting cancer in my family right now, one is 6 years old, one is 42 year old. They all do keto. Love to you, sir.
@@user-zv2sy2ob7y. Just stop it.
Your immediateness, living in the now … is the silver lining. Watch a few… I survived episodes. Think I last saw some on A&E. The warm wonderful descriptions of dying and returning to life .. beautiful … warmth and light and goodwill. Like a different portal… earthly concerns are no longer taking up thoughts. Listen to a few hospice nurse sites, if you choose. There are patterns.
It’s easy to get a lot of carcinogenic red meat compounds (usually from cooking) in high meat diets. Also, many people forget that fiber is very important in a keto diet. Lastly, it’s a bit harder to get antioxidants, polyphenols, phytonutrients, etc. in a keto diet. I honestly don’t know how effective keto would be in combatting cancer. Since a six year old is fighting it in your family, it sounds like it’s partly genetic. Also keto is not meant to be for long term. I personally would do a mostly organic WFPB diet with some fish in it instead of the keto diet. A lot of the benefits of keto can be achieved through fasting and intermittent fasting without damaging your gut micro biome and losing all the important antioxidants. However, I do hope that keto works out for your family, as long as you realize the risks there are and how you can mitigate the risks
@@JoeARedHawk275i 💯% agree with you and pray they STOP Keto asap. You need all of what you stated above to fight cancer. I pray they will listen and not continue keto especially that little 6 year old who desperately needs fighting nutritional elements that are not found in the keto diet.😢
Attitude is massive in terms of recovery... People that give up have shown to deteriorate faster... Staying positive is massive for maximising your potential to get better and live longer... Whatever your condition, this guy gets it...
Thanks for this Dr. Dan. I survived colon cancer in 2004 with some major surgery. Recently found a lung nodule that looks like cancer. We’ll see, one day at a time. I experienced those feelings of intense beauty, then, since, and now. Like going from a tiny black and white TV to an 85” color flat screen. It is strange but true that a cancer diagnosis can improve our lives. It may be a quality vs quantity issue. I was 50 then, and 70 now, and I’ll still be trying to stay in the game if I make 90. Something I heard back then that I liked and kept in memory is that we are like a giant flock of birds migrating from one place to another. Some birds get to the next destination a little sooner, and some get there a little later. But in the big picture they all get there. The exact flight schedule is up to a power greater than ourselves. If you don’t yet have one, now might be a very good time to get one. I’ll be thinking positive healing thoughts for you. The Universe tends to manifest that which we think about most. So try to only hold positives in mind. I know it is hard. But worry is a negative prayer that actually has the power to bring about the thing worried about.
Dear Dr. Dan, you ARE giving back, much more than so many people on this planet. Grateful for you.
You are a truly beautiful human being !! You will touch people in many ways.❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
I know an old man on the walking trail who was diagnosed years ago with non Hodgkin lymphoma. Like you he defeats cancer by depriving it of glucose. He does this by eating nutrient dense foods then walking 3-4 miles to burn off glucose that would have gone to feed cancer cells. He is a live and still walking daily. No bread, rice, white potatoes(Low carb). Physical activity is key. I would recommend a book by an author named Al Carter called, " the cancer answer"
Thank you so much! What you said towards the end, your message of hope and love, talking about the cycles, and the power of making someone else feel good the way we have received such moments--all that was profoundly comforting and motivating. Keep the faith, Dr. Dan. You are a tremendous force of good in this world.❤️
Praying for you man. Just lost my Dad unexpectedly, and I saw the same glow and excitement in him shortly before his passing. Small silly things started to clear up, he got a new bike and was stoked to be outside in the fall weather, he was cooking wonderful meals and laughing as much as ever. I’m amazed with your peace, but it brings me peace. God bless brother, safe travels. ♥️🙌🏻
I'm really happy to see all of the comments. I appreciate you guys being here and hearing him because I do claim this man as my family, my best friend. ❤❤❤

Dan I love you man. Crying watching your video. My dad passed from cancer in 94. I was 11. I'm 40 now and my boyfriend doesn't understand why I watch videos like yours but it helps me be a better human. I prayed for a miracle that your next scan is cancer free.
Sorry to hear that. For a young lady to grow to grow up without her father has to be difficult. I had more than 20 more with my own father and it was still tough. Like you, I hope his next scan is clean as well. : )
Amen. My father passed away from cancer. It is the reason I watch the videos and get involved in the fight to beat the disease.
@@user-uv3gy7bq1o They never said it was the most devastating. It’s not Irrelavant that a daughter lose her father. He plays a very important role in her life.

So true. The Master physician.
I believe you'll be around much longer than doctors say your prognosis is. You are strong and I know God will extend your stay for the purpose He charts your life for. You will be around to see a lot of good things happen you'll see. Stay strong and God bless brother. We're rooting for you
Sending you prayers too.

My wife passed from Pancreatic Cancer in 2013. If I can share anything from that experience is make your wishes known on what you want as far as care is concerned so you loved ones who are helping you know when the put the sword down so you can live in peace with whatever time you have left.
What an amazing man. Posting like this the day after news of 2-6mo. Sharing this part of your journey for others maybe in the same circumstances.
I just don’t have words for how generous and empathetic you are.
Had a horrible day at work, the worst in probably 3 or 4 months. Went on youtube and stumbled upon this video. Wow....amazing Dan. Your calm demeanor and poise through such a life changing diagnosis is awe inspiring and puts a bad day at the office in complete perspective. Thank you for sharing your journey, your wisdom, and your precious time. Absolute baller to be handling this with such grace and sharing a very important message to others, one that I often need to remind myself of. Life is too short for ALL OF US to focus on negativity. Prayers for you and I have a feeling we will be seeing you on youtube not for months, but many years to come.
What a courageous, unique man! Wish with all my heart that there will be a remission so that he can continue living his beautiful life❤
Dr. Dan, I just happened to stumble across this video, but I feel compelled to tell you that this video is a tremendous gift to anyone lucky enough to see it. The thoughts you share, the lessons learned, and your approach to life are beautiful. I admire your grace, your courage, your wisdom and your warmth. Thank you for sharing. Sending love and well wishes.
❤
I hope you are still doing well. This 30min video gives me important insights and to an extent hope. We all have loved one lost to cancer, and all know of people fighting it and winning. Keep fighting! Never give up! This is your most important battle. Thanks for your updates and your service to the community.
Hey Dan, Happy Birthday!!!
I hope you are having a great day ❤
I just “accidentally” ran across this video.
I’m 71 years old and can’t tell you the last time I even had a cold!!
I don’t go to doctors because I have been so healthy my entire life. I attribute a lot of that to my vegetarian diet of 54 years.
All that being said, April 1st I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic rectal cancer that has spread to my lungs, colon, bones and liver.
I waited WAY WAY too long to get things checked out so I am deamed terminal with only palative care possible with 6-8 months.
I told my oncologist those are just statistics!! I am not a statistic.
That being said, I’ve had a long hard life and whenever my time is up, it’s up and I am someone that does believe there is life after life and it has to be so much richer and most importantly unconditional love. Bring it on!!!🤗
For God SO loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in Him (Jesus) should not perish, but have everlasting life!
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved (from any and all punishment for your sin, at The Judgement).
Unless you are a believer of Jesus I wouldn’t be in a hurry to bring on anything …you will not be bumping heads in the sky with your friends ..there is only one place for non believers and those believers not committed to following the Lord .
I literally just "accidentally" came across this video as well, and have been reading comments while listening to him...and you should give them a read as well, because it is amazing how many positive stories have been shared about not-great short-term outlooks, that turned into YEARS of living that followed!
Please don't give up.
Don't let negative feelings, thoughts, nor people, get into your head.
Seek treatment, and as Doc said in this vid, LIVE YOUR LIFE, and appreciate and enjoy whatever time you have left - be it a day, or another twenty years! None of us know our number, nor when it will be up - so don't concentrate on the end, and instead be present in your each day... 😉💜
@@minimouse8225 You and I do agree on one thing... and that is there is only one place for non believers. Where we differ, is I feel everyone ends up in that place.
The only life after life is the redistribution of our atoms to bacteria, fungi, yeast, plants, insects, etc. The concept of having soul which survives death has to be considered as utter bullshit if not proven, which of course will never be done.
My wife just got through stage 3/4 kidney cancer. First had kidney removed and then went on 2 years of immunotherapy. She was very lucky in that her body responded to the immunotherapy very well. What’s crazy is this treatment wasn’t even available until a couple years before she was diagnosed. She wouldn’t be with us today if not for that treatment and her amazing oncologist.
On a separate note, we are Christian and believe that there is a heaven. In other words, we believe there is more beyond this life not because we’ve earned it but because we’ve placed our faith in Jesus and trust in his saving work. We will be praying for you as you bravely plan out the best course of treatment/care.
Bless the Lord, I am rejoicing with you, God is always good❣️🙏
I’m also a Christmas. I believe there is a Santa Claus.
That is great news. Olaparip (the targeted treatment my wife is on) for pancreatic cancer was only FDA approved since 2019 I believe and it had been helping pancreatic cancer patients with BRCA live longer.
@@HisCoconutGunjust finished chemo. I’m fine at the moment. Thank you for asking.
Tots and pears.
What you are saying in this video about realizing the beauty of life due to what we are all eventually moving towards at different rates is what we all should be focussing on. If people realized what a gift each day is the world would be a better much more wonderful place to be. Thank you for sharing this message during this immensely difficult time.
Hi Dr Dan! Do whatever you can and hang in there!!!After all, we all know that no one of us will go out from this world alive!Sending my virtual prayers to you Sir❤️🙏This is one of your life's purpose, to share your story and remind everyone to focus on little things that matter❤️
My Mother-in-law just passed away last Sunday from cancer. She was told she had only a couple of months to live. She ended up making it over 2 years. She completely changed her diet and lifestyle to add extra time to her life.
All of our days are numbered and none of us can guarantee that we will see tomorrow.
It is quite challenging for medical professionals to accurately determine the prognosis of certain diseases. As a hospice nurse, my experience has shown that patients with cancer, who are initially given a life expectancy of 2-6 months, often surpass these predictions and live for more than 2 years.
Of course it’s your own will prayer changes things drs are not God the Bible says choose life or death it’s in the power of your tongue! I had cancer and I had told my husband that he would die first who can stand his crying and grief ! He died Feb 25-23 good I know he is waiting for me cause I saw him in the living room so handsome and young the Bible says we are one spirit and the other half is on earth the other somewhere else so even thou people die once in a while we see them
I am deeply sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
I hope you get much more time then your oncologist said. ❤
Please make sure you are ready to meet God, most important decision to make!
Thank you so much for sharing, as one also 'in the fight' to live longer, it gives me hope!
I've been following you for a few months now and to look at you, I wouldn't have known u were sick. You look so healthy and I can tell u take good care of yourself. I just want you to know that you're so brave. You're handling this way better than I think I would if it were me going through this. I am praying for you, with faith that God will heal you. If for some reason He chooses not to, just know that you are an inspiration to me. I've always been an optimistic, which has gotten me through many bad times. But seeing what you're going through and how you're handling it, well, just don't give up. Always hope for the best no matter what you're told. I'm always praying for you. Stay strong my friend. You are loved❤ ❤❤
I’m so sorry and praying for a better outcome for you yes it’s okay to say this life we live can be so difficult and stressful not to mention unfair it’s okay to let it out bless you Doc
