    Hey Doc, my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer metastasized to liver at 35. She was given 12 months with treatment however, targeted treatment (her2+), chemotherapy and high dose radiotherapy on liver, complete change of diet, sugar/dairy/meat free, she has no evidence of disease 15 years later and no reoccurrence after nearly 2 years of initial treatment. She is fit and strong and her attitude didn’t waiver once that she would not beat this thing. If it reoccurs then she’s beat it again. It’s tough and scary as hell but you will kick this in to touch. Rooting for you in Ireland 🇮🇪

    I know you'll never see this since you passed away just a couple days ago, but i happened upon your videos by pure chance and even though we've never met, for some strange reason i miss you and am deeply saddened that you're gone. I think it's because of how strong and optimistic you were throughout all of it, even in your final hours. You've helped me and many other folks appreciate life more than we did before. That blessing will never die.
    Rest in peace Dan.

We were blessed to be acquainted with him. You don't meet his kind often...a rare personality ❤ I'm older than he was. Yet i can count on one had the rare type persons, I've encountered similar to the doc. He was physically attractive. But, "his spirit" made him incredibly appealing! Wasn't his outer appearance.
    I'm grateful that his brother john, informed us that dan received Jesus christ as his lord and savior before he passed. The doc was too beautiful to be eternally lost.
    Hope to see you in the future, doc. ❤❤❤

      Great question, and I asked about that, Andrea. My oncologist says that different types of cancer have different treatment options -- both in the types of meds they use, and frequency they're given. One of my patients has stage 3 breast cancer, for example, and she is doing her chemo infusions every week, and spending 3 hours in-office while those are administered. Also she doesn't have the take-home pump that I use to self-administer. It sounds to me like they customize the regimen based on a variety of factors.
