*IMPORTANT LINKS!* - The Fixable Back Course: www.Fixable.me This is the exact approach I use with my patients, to get them out of pain, and keep their pain from coming back. If you have low back pain and it's not going away, this approach beats the pants off everything else I've seen! - CBD gummies for sleep! I use the brand Hometown Hero (made right here in Austin!), and take the Peak Delta-8 Gummies: hometownhero.sjv.io/y25vBy NOTE: These are 100 mg per gummy - I split each gummy into 4 pieces (25 mg each), and only take 25 mg about an hour before bed. For me, they make me extremely relaxed, and feel like I’ve had about 3 glasses of wine. I wouldn’t take more than 25 mg at first, for sure. But they help me fall asleep faster, and stay asleep better than anything I’ve used so far! - My favorite hamstring stretch! If you have low back pain, start here!

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.
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
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.❤
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. ❤
Dr. Dan, you passed away one day shy of exactly 10 months after this video, and I’m just coming back to rewatch all your videos, which I’ve been doing since last week as I knew you were leaving us soon. I miss you and your weekly live streams. You left this earth way too early at only 55. But I’ll never forget you. ❤ May you rest in eternal peace.
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)
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.
We are all looking death in the eyes ..just because your 18 in perfect health isnt a guarantee you will even survive the day ..a million ways to die every day
Yep we all have these experiences....& I'm quite sure he does flinch you know that part of it too. Dont make him some superhero come on.....that is wrong to do that to him.....make him out to be somehow untouchable when I'm quite sure he's scared at times or unsure ....& flinches a hell of a lot......
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.
@@emberrise9217Yes, actually stage 4 of any kind is uniformly fatal, period. There are extremely rare cases where people have survived stage 4, but like I said, extremely rare. In colon cancer, which’s what Dr. Dan had, the 5-year survival for stage 4 is about 10% & 0 for 10.
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 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 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.
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.
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
@@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
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…❤
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.
I was diagnosed same time as you early 2021...I was given 8 months...there's no describing staring down your own death and your priorities! I am now cancer free. I am holding you in my thoughts.
@@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.
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. ❤️
Hey hope you’re doing well. My thoughts are with you. My mom’s breast cancer metastasized to her brain the docs gave her 6 months to live. She’s hanging in there positive as always. I hope you’re doing well.
I'm a survivor. Fight. Don't give up...get a second opinion. My friend was given a few months to live and that was FIVE YEARS ago....she's still fighting.
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.😊
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.
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!!!🙏👍
Nice to see you again Dan, I come back regularly to hear your positive attitude, kindness and wise outlook on life. I know you've passed but your legacy lives on.
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.
@@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.
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. It is proof to me of the afterlife and how the spirit truly never, ever dies. Be blessed.
@@jacquieclancy8345, instead of listening to white coats: go vegan/fruitarian/whole-food plant-based instead. Clean out the Temple: Enemas, Water Fasting, Urine Therapy
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.
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....
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. 🙏🙌❤
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.
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.
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. ❤❤❤ Thank you Dan Fans 💚💚
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! 😊
Well, you passed on. You made it 4 months longer than your life estimation. Thank you for being so brave and being the epitome of a gentle warrior. Requiescat In Pace, Dr. Dan.
But it was a miserable 4 months in which he really suffered tremendously. His brother said he "was weary of living" towards the end, which's heartbreaking. No one wants to suffer.
@@Chris.3791No. I cared for many and near the end most just want it over. i had one lady that we coded and brought her back and she was furious that her husband insisted we code her. I promise quality is better than quantity if you are truly terminal.
@@Chris.3791I don’t think so. Lingering in pain doesn’t sound good. Cancer isn’t intentional. It’s accidental. It’s cells with damaged DNA, just following their faulty or atavistic programming. Multicellular organisms depend on having functioning cells that “know” they are living in a cooperative complex with other cells. It’s a strange thing, I think.
@@nettewilson5926yeah, I know. For the life of me I cannot figure out why my parting comment to someone who was inspiring to me about how strong he was in the face of death has people disagreeing with me. Should I have said “too bad you fought so hard, had you thrown in the towel and died sooner then you wouldn’t have suffered as long?” I just don’t understand some people.
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.
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.
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.🙏🏻🌻🌻🌻
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).
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙏🏼
@@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
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!
❤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.'
Man, I wish the best for this guy. I’ve been struggling with depression and pretty much have no real issues in my life, yet in my mind I’m acting like I have terminal cancer. Thanks for the video.
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.
You're reminding me of this amazing book I'm re-reading: "The Triumphant Patient" by G. Anderson. I recommend it to anyone with a serious disease! 🤔🤗💪🏼📚
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.
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.😢
Cancer is baffling, you look so healthy and happy. You would never know your sick at all! We need to find a cure for all Cancer! God Bless you and for your speedy healing!
We do have the cures...big pharma won't let it be known...cancer treatments such as chemo etc is a multi billion dollar industry that would be crippled if they were to release the cures. It is despicable.
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.
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.
I just came upon your videos today, having just watched your most recent and final video and now this one, just now learning you have passed. It brought me to tears. May you rest in peace, Dr. Dan. ❤❤❤❤❤
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.
In June I was diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma with signent ring cells. They gave me 6 months. Its been 4 months and i feel great. Although the doctors give us an educated guess it still is just a guess. I know i don't have years left but i have more than 2 months. I decided to enjoy the time i do have left, however long it is, I'm making memories with my kids and not wasting any day and making sure those I love know I love them. We can live alot of life in a short amount of time.
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. : )
@@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.
I turned 60 today. No complaints, as I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. Your words feel really important. They are important. What you’ve generously shared with us, so brutally and honestly, has effectively changed my life. You feel like you’re a dear friend. I’m sending you so much love and prayers for strength and peace.
Happy Birthday! God bless you today and always. Jesus Christ is King, He will never abandon you. Any suffering we endure we can offer to His Holy Cross. Again, happy birthday, enjoy this beautiful day so blessed to so many!
Dan, couldn't agree more with your snapshot of our cultural evolution. Thank you for taking time to share your wry, inspiring observations of the human condition. What a blessing to have a caring family, so many do not.
I am praying for your eternal salvation. We are physical beings. Our souls are eternal. Please take the time to read the book of John in the Bible. It is truth, may the Lord who meet you right where you are, seek Jesus. Then you will know. He created you in your mother's womb and will meet you where you are. Book to read is "Case for Christ" author Lee Strobel who was an atheist. ❤ in Christ, you are an inspiration!!!
I was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the age of 42. What you say makes total sense to me and I agree, cancer really makes you want to live and not sweat the small stuff. Bless you, I’m thinking of you❤
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.
I’m so happy for you and your Mom! ❤❤❤. Your Mom gives me so much hope. My Mom had Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. She fought like hell for six years and she beat it on February 9, 2020. She passed away, which means there was nothing and nowhere the cancer could grow anymore.
I was on hospice yrs ago. I was given 6 months to live. I woke up one morning and I just knew what to do. I took off my o2, went to the track, took off my o2 and pushed my body over and over again until I was confident I'd pass all my dr. Tests . They said I don't exist in medical books. My point is, miracles can happen . I'm praying you catch a miracle as I did❤
You're a strong, deep, wise man, Dan. I've my lymphoma diagnosis on january this year. I went full on with fasting cycles, took half the tumor away (4 cm on a tumor of 8). I've a very rare form of lyphoma, docs don't know how it is going to behave. Fasting helped to clean the mind, also. But it is not for the faints of hearth, it's an hardcore fight. Still i feel fine, i'm good with what's coming. Love from Italy...
So who were the other people in your study? Who were the controls so we know it wasn't something else causing you to get better? I'm glad you are feeling better, but what is the real evidence for your claim?
@@boycott2720 He doesn’t have to prove anything to you. Meanwhile, get acquainted with the new research into fasting and cancer. Think professors Seyfried, Longo. And draw your own conclusions. Or wait until it’s all settled science, which will be decades.
@@boycott2720 You are a troll. I'm not doing a 'study'. I'm trying to cope with a lymphoma. Dan went keto for a reason, and so did I with fasting. It is effective? It is not? I don't know, i'm not a researcher, i'm a patient. Still I CAN talk about my own experience without you trying to invalidate my own life choice. I have done NO kind of 'claim' and i DO NOT endorse any kind of 'therapy' for other people, BECAUSE i'm not a MD but a PATIENT. If YOU search 'real evidence' of something in the TH-cam comment section YOU are delusional. Here you find MY OWN story of fighting with my own cancer. Period. Researchers DO the research, NOT patients. Meanwhile trolls do the trolling. Everyone do his thing, isn't it?
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.
I was diagnosed with metastatic Colon cancer Stage IVb in Jan of this year. And I am going through the same as you, as far as the way I am trying to live each day. I am sad, I am angry, I am calm, but I also feel free. I also feel that I still have so much to give. Burning through savings, and I know I am very blessed. I just want to hug you or give you many Hi5s. Thank you for sharing your journey, I have been feeling so alone in this journey even with my support team. Again thank you. I'm sorry.
I’m sorry for your diagnosis and that you feel alone. I’m sure it’s hard for you to feel understood on any level. But maybe finding a group of people who are going through the same thing would help.
I really don't think anyone has ever made such an impact on me before in such a short time. I'm a nurse and I've never seen anyone cope so well with your diagnosis. I will be praying for a miracle for you. Please keep us posted on how you're doing so we don't worry..❤
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.
@@AquarianNomadic 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.
@@Wasted_Talent007 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.
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.
Watching this video... I can't even tell he is going through cancer and suffering from it. My goodness, what an incredibly nice guy. May his soul rest in peace. Life is not fair.
As an Oncology RN for the past 20 years, who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 follicular NH Lymphoma, I really feel for you. You are not alone brother. Sending positive vibes your way that you will beat the odds!
@@sadiev2778 I didn't advice, just suggested reading something. But why is it bad? Did you even read the study? 100% cure of advanced cancers! Have you ever heard of something like that? Why are you indifferent to it? Maybe it sounds too good or simple to be truth? Very well.. carry on with your life.
I’m a young guy and you will probably never read this comment but I’ve dealt with a lot of health issues lately. I’ll be okay relatively. But you have inspired me so much to live my life to the fullest. Its hard to put into words, but I’m crying right now truly understanding how important life is. You have inspired me to live my life and I am so grateful its hard to put into words
I have cancer,I've had the surgery and has been doing chemotherapy. I get depressed sometimes. I'm still fighting. You keep fighting, don't give up! IN THE END, GOD HAS THE LAST WORD!!❤
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
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 TH-camrs 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.
Greetings from Germany. My Father was diagnosed with Black Skincancer Stage 4 in 2017. The cancer spread to his right lung and they removed the cancer there. He started immuno therapy right after and he still lives today (now 66 years old). They said the immuno therapy would prolong his life for about 12 month if lucky. All the best wishes and NEVER GIVE UP.
I walked through this path with my best friend who was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2012 and given 12 months to live. After the initial shock, she faced her mortality with a joy, courage and grace that I have never seen before. She even wrote her own funeral. When I went through treatment for the same disease last year, I found myself thinking how unfair it was that we had the same thing, we went through the same process, yet she died and I have a normal life expectancy.
So proud of you! And don’t apologize for crying, you’ve got to let that crap out, man! Just think, you’ve affected so many people around the world just with this video, and we are all sending you a warm embrace, infinite love and prayers ❤️🙏🕊
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!!
My son thought he had back pain from helping his friend move. He went to the hospital for pain killer and after some tests, was told that he had metastatic prostate cancer and was already in the process of dying. He was only 52. He told me that he was not afraid, but felt sorry for me & told me not to suffer. How can you not? You are a very brave man discussing your prognosis here and helping other people understand the fickleness of life. God bless you and yours!
I don't no what to say....I am so sorry. Unfortunately my dad past away this year 5th January 2023. Stage 4 cancer he was only 56 years old. My dad was a family man always talking forcing us into conversations about politics and economics. When they told my dad it's cancer he just stopped talking he kind of just shut down socially. I remember waking up because I couldn't sleep and coming down stairs and hugging my dad crying my eyes out knowing full well it's game over but telling my dad the doctors haven't sed anything about you passing away you will be fine just eat because by this time my dad's intake had dropped massive. About 10 months before he was a 14 stone healthy bloke and now he was more like 7 stones and I could feel his back bone and shoulder blades. It's bad may God help us cure cancer.
Hi! Yeah life can turn pretty quick :s How is it going with him? I got that same shit and got my neck broken for about 6 weeks ago. metastatic prostate cancer all the way up to my neck. To me they say dont worry, you got at least 2 years but probely a lot more. Im turning 50 this summer. Hope your soon is ok!
So sorry for what your son went through. Many times it’s the support from our family and friends that help us the most in devastating circumstances. You were by his side that what matters most 🙏
When I clicked on this video I automatically assumed you would be talking about someone else with cancer. Looking at you for the first time I would never guess you have cancer and was given 2-6 months to live. I wish you the best health and that you overcome any timeframe expectations.
You said you wouldn’t probably have time to give back to society in the way you wanted to, but I disagree. This video is EVERYTHING and such a gift. I watched the whole thing and have huge tears streaming down my face - both from realizing how I have been ignoring the real stuff and gotten bogged down by the petty, also always feeling a sense of dissatisfaction and unease…and also how big your heart is, for sharing all this with us, this important message that you seem to have completely embodied and know in every fiber of your being. I am inspired to live a different way and I’m so thankful you made this video. Bless you and I am sending you so much love. ❤
Cancer is a big scam and money maker. It is man made and digusting! Some people and I have caught them in the act, it is a terrible shame and they get away with it all the time.
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.'❤
I will always cherish this particular video from Dr Dan. I know Dr Dan is soon to transition into the next life in this moment, but, I’m going back through and watching these videos & this one is really one to make me really think about how I look at life.
Your “good thing about cancer” conversation reminds me of something I just heard recently by Carl Jung that I found so profound …”the first half of life is devoted to developing a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it “
You are describing this so well. I am stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. And I’ve felt it is kind of a blessing. I get to see what is really important. I’ve not been given your timeline yet. I’m praying for you and No as long as you’re breathing there is hope.
Such a positive attitude! People hate me saying I would rather have cancer than being in a car accident and dying. With cancer you can say goodbye to your loved ones which is more deep, I was diagnosed with MS 40 years ago. In 1993 I was paralyzed and had high dose steroids. Months later participated in a drug trial. Never was paralyzed again. In 2014 had drop foot so using a cane or mini e-bikes. MS made me do everything on my bucket list. I tell people MS is a blessing because you appreciate seeing beauty nature and still walking. MS has made me less shallow and minimize possessions. When my friend criticizes me because I have not repainted my bathroom ceiling due to a stain I tell her I do not care. Enjoy your days. If you are close to your employees and work fulfills you with joy work. If not, enjoy every sunrise and sunset. You are feeling well so do it! Who cares if you take on debt to enjoy it your assets wealth or debt does not go with you when you pass. Carpe diem
Our 12 year old didn't say goodbye when cancer killed him. He knew what was coming after everything failed and he was scared and he wasn't ready to die. A crash would have been kinder.
I may have misunderstood you, but taking on debt intentionally, especially if you suspect you or your estate won't be able to pay it back is the same as stealing. So if one doesn't want to disobey God, never acquire debt that you cannot repay. Peace and comfort to all those (and there are many!) who are suffering.
Rewatching this knowing you passed hits so differently. 😢 You were ana amazing human with so much positivity. I miss seeing your updates although the struggles have ended. Cancer doesn't discriminate. Lost my partner of 20 years to Gliopblastoma brain cancer at 42, I don't look at life the same or monrtality. It's a grim assessment and a huge wake up call.
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.
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.
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.
The cool thing about cancer that you're describing is EXACTLY what I experienced as well. I try to explain it to people but I'm not sure they always get it. There's a magic sense of presence and all of the superficial things no longer matter. Every moment and every experience just feels so magical, no matter how simple, maybe because it could be your last. At 34 I had stage 4 colon cancer and have been cancer free now for a year and a half, I hope it doesn't come back but I still feel like even now I'm preparing mentally for my death in this way, stepping away from the fear but trying to remember the presence and what really matters. I wish you the best brother! I hope you keep experiencing this magic for the rest of your life, no matter how long you're here.
I’m telling you strength of mind is a medicine as well; my grandmother diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and she opted for no treatment they told her she had 2 to 6 months. She said “I’ll go when I’m ready.” She passed 4 1/2 years later at 86. You are strong and young.
❤ Whatever you do, please don’t take that 2-6 month life expectancy as a given! Cancer patients are constantly beating the odds and living much longer! It’s good to go ahead and do some necessary planning, but always be open-minded about giving a trial treatment a shot! Keep us all updated and keep up your healthy routine! Thinking of you in Georgia.🙋♀️💕
You mentioned having so much left to do, and while I can't imagine how intense the meaning behind that sentiment is, I'd like to humbly share that this video helped a stranger out of a horrible panic attack today whilst stuck at work. Your kindness and bravery in sharing your journey brought out the inner strength I needed to move through that challenging space. Thank you so much - I'm sending positivity your way each morning during meditation.
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.
I'm so sorry to hear about your prognosis. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer back in August 2020 and I found your videos around the time I had my final surgery in 2021. I've now been in remission for just over two years. When I first watched your videos, I thought for sure you would be in the same place as me. I'm so sorry that the beast that is cancer has not let you go. My cool thing about cancer is that, for the first time in my life, I love myself. Period. Not because of how I look, what the scale says, how much money I make, how others perceive me or what I do for others but I have a genuine unconditional love for myself which has affected the way that I see and view others in my life. I don't think I can effectively explain it but I love so much!
I was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer 1-25-2021. Had surgery a month later and 6 months of chemotherapy. I'm being treated at the Duke Cancer Center. I agree with everything you posted. I want to say to all out there attitude is everything. Stay positive and active.
0MG thank you for sharing your life's struggle with this wicked disease. I know you have helped so many people going through the same journey. My heart and thoughts are with you. You are such a special man and it was uplifting to hear how you speak about what you are going through. It sounds like you have a good support system behind you. Keep strong 💪Sending love❤ and respect to you from Rosie O from Devon England 🤗🇬🇧
Just came by your video. First of all you look amazing and so healthy that it’s unbelievable that your prognosis is even possible! Your message is very inspiring and what a kind soul you are! Sending you all the best and wishing you peace and as many smiles as possible! ❤
just lost my mom last week to cancer. Im searching youtube for some sort of comfort. Thanks for sharing your story. Your bravery is inspirational. I love your approach. Sending you positive vibes.
Dr Dan is an inspiration, I experienced going through this with a family member, it’s devastating. One problem leads to the next , but his ability to communicate what he was going through is amazing and very brave. I can’t watch his videos without crying
God Bless Dr Dan. My sister passed of breast cancer on March 30th at just 43. She stood so strong and never wavered in her faith of God through it all. She taught me so much about the exact things you are speaking of. Live in the moment, take in the little things, be kind, resist negativity and focus on positivity. Wherever this road leads you, trust that it is the path you were meant take from the beginning. None of us know how our physical life will end, but it is guaranteed to end. We have to be our best in the time we are given! Again, best wishes and prayers to you and your family for whatever your future holds.
My partner was given 3 weeks to live in April 2022 and died May 21st 2023. He hung on as long as he could even though the cancer had spread. He was determined to live !
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
Hi Dr Dan. I am writing from Lisboa, Portugal where I am spending my anniversary with my loving wife. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer a month ago. Since that time I have gone thru all the mental anguish, fears, regrets and hopefulness that you expressed! It is good to hear someone else articulate what I have felt. Like you, I plan on relishing every breath, every moment, everyone in my life. Thank you and all the other people so much for sharing your stories! It really means a lot.
I had stage 4 cancer in 2001. I went to the Texas Medical Center here in Houston, Tx -- M D Anderson Canceer Hospital. I got a form of stem cell therapy combined with radiation. I'm 20 years in remission. The Texas Medicacl Center is noted for treating cancer and heart disease.
Praying for you as I pray for Dr. Dan!!! Don’t give up. Read the comments - there is so much hope through the stories of healing in the comments!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A role model and so inspiring every day. I will miss you and your community will miss you. Condolences to your family and friends. May they find comfort and peace knowing you are no longer in pain. ❤😢

- The Fixable Back Course: www.Fixable.me This is the exact approach I use with my patients, to get them out of pain, and keep their pain from coming back. If you have low back pain and it's not going away, this approach beats the pants off everything else I've seen!
- CBD gummies for sleep! I use the brand Hometown Hero (made right here in Austin!), and take the Peak Delta-8 Gummies: hometownhero.sjv.io/y25vBy NOTE: These are 100 mg per gummy - I split each gummy into 4 pieces (25 mg each), and only take 25 mg about an hour before bed. For me, they make me extremely relaxed, and feel like I’ve had about 3 glasses of wine. I wouldn’t take more than 25 mg at first, for sure. But they help me fall asleep faster, and stay asleep better than anything I’ve used so far!

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.
There is nothing cool about cancer
@@DeeLee-p8calso, he said 2 - 6 months to live. Nine months have passed. I wonder if he still makes videos 😛
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.
@DrDanSays try cascade fasting 1-1
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.❤
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
Dr. Dan, you passed away one day shy of exactly 10 months after this video, and I’m just coming back to rewatch all your videos, which I’ve been doing since last week as I knew you were leaving us soon. I miss you and your weekly live streams. You left this earth way too early at only 55. But I’ll never forget you. ❤ May you rest in eternal peace.
❤❤❤❤
He was 55? 😮 I thought he was 45 or less!!
I’m watching all his videos too ❤
@@oooooooooo582yes he was 55
This is crazy, he looked so healthy and in good shape! 😢 #RIP #GoneTooSoon
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.
here is a guy staring death in the eyes and does not even flinch. what a thoughtful introspective well put together post.
We are all looking death in the eyes ..just because your 18 in perfect health isnt a guarantee you will even survive the day ..a million ways to die every day
Hey!... Doctor's are programmed different ❤️
Rewatch the video.
He flinches several times, and rightly so.
For the camera! He was probably crying his eyes out behind closed doors.
Yep we all have these experiences....& I'm quite sure he does flinch you know that part of it too. Dont make him some superhero come on.....that is wrong to do that to him.....make him out to be somehow untouchable when I'm quite sure he's scared at times or unsure ....& flinches a hell of a lot......
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.
@@emberrise9217Yes, actually stage 4 of any kind is uniformly fatal, period. There are extremely rare cases where people have survived stage 4, but like I said, extremely rare. In colon cancer, which’s what Dr. Dan had, the 5-year survival for stage 4 is about 10% & 0 for 10.
@RoyalPurpleStar breast cancer stage 4 is less fetal then colon stage 4. The type of cancer matters alot
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!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sending you Light Love and God's Healing Protection 💜
I am so sorry. Many hugs to you.
I sincerely hope you are getting better!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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.
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. ✝️
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.
From a random internet stranger, your positivity and love will be missed Dan. Rest in peace.
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

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.
I was diagnosed same time as you early 2021...I was given 8 months...there's no describing staring down your own death and your priorities! I am now cancer free. I am holding you in my thoughts.
congratulations, sending love your way that you continue to stay in good health
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.
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.
Hey hope you’re doing well. My thoughts are with you. My mom’s breast cancer metastasized to her brain the docs gave her 6 months to live. She’s hanging in there positive as always. I hope you’re doing well.
I'm a survivor. Fight. Don't give up...get a second opinion. My friend was given a few months to live and that was FIVE YEARS ago....she's still fighting.
i will pray him / GOD Bless i am former!! You must believe1!!!
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 pray right now he lives to work out his salvation. God’s will be done though also .
this young man - is amazing -what a good attitude and focus - admirable
lol @@srourfamily
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.
Happy for you but that's not his experience
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 ❤
Nice to see you again Dan, I come back regularly to hear your positive attitude, kindness and wise outlook on life. I know you've passed but your legacy lives on.
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.
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.

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.

@@genaisaacsfiegel5466 Why would U pray to a god that allows cancer to exist?
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!!
Well, you passed on. You made it 4 months longer than your life estimation. Thank you for being so brave and being the epitome of a gentle warrior. Requiescat In Pace, Dr. Dan.
But it was a miserable 4 months in which he really suffered tremendously. His brother said he "was weary of living" towards the end, which's heartbreaking. No one wants to suffer.
@@hkuo1 you’re right. But there is victory in taking that cancer the distance.
@@Chris.3791No. I cared for many and near the end most just want it over. i had one lady that we coded and brought her back and she was furious that her husband insisted we code her. I promise quality is better than quantity if you are truly terminal.
@@Chris.3791I don’t think so. Lingering in pain doesn’t sound good. Cancer isn’t intentional. It’s accidental. It’s cells with damaged DNA, just following their faulty or atavistic programming. Multicellular organisms depend on having functioning cells that “know” they are living in a cooperative complex with other cells. It’s a strange thing, I think.
@@nettewilson5926yeah, I know. For the life of me I cannot figure out why my parting comment to someone who was inspiring to me about how strong he was in the face of death has people disagreeing with me. Should I have said “too bad you fought so hard, had you thrown in the towel and died sooner then you wouldn’t have suffered as long?”
I just don’t understand some people.
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 ?
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.

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

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).
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.
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.

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.

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. 🙏🏼

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?
Very sad it has come to this nine months later. What a great perspective on life, thank you.
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.❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
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.'
Man, I wish the best for this guy. I’ve been struggling with depression and pretty much have no real issues in my life, yet in my mind I’m acting like I have terminal cancer. Thanks for the video.
Hang in there 🙏🏼
😂
Our battles, are our battles, but perspective is always a good thing. Take care ✌️➕❤️
You said it brother and many around the world have heard you. Including Dr Dan. Time to get on with it.
Really puts things into perspective doesn't it...
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.
You're reminding me of this amazing book I'm re-reading: "The Triumphant Patient" by G. Anderson. I recommend it to anyone with a serious disease! 🤔🤗💪🏼📚
@@sophiemarcaureleThanks for the recommendation.
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.😢
Cancer is baffling, you look so healthy and happy. You would never know your sick at all! We need to find a cure for all Cancer! God Bless you and for your speedy healing!
We do have the cures...big pharma won't let it be known...cancer treatments such as chemo etc is a multi billion dollar industry that would be crippled if they were to release the cures. It is despicable.
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.
I just came upon your videos today, having just watched your most recent and final video and now this one, just now learning you have passed. It brought me to tears. May you rest in peace, Dr. Dan. ❤❤❤❤❤
Same here. So sad.
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.
In June I was diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma with signent ring cells. They gave me 6 months. Its been 4 months and i feel great. Although the doctors give us an educated guess it still is just a guess. I know i don't have years left but i have more than 2 months. I decided to enjoy the time i do have left, however long it is, I'm making memories with my kids and not wasting any day and making sure those I love know I love them. We can live alot of life in a short amount of time.
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.
I turned 60 today. No complaints, as I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. Your words feel really important. They are important. What you’ve generously shared with us, so brutally and honestly, has effectively changed my life. You feel like you’re a dear friend. I’m sending you so much love and prayers for strength and peace.
@user-zv2sy2ob7y what hsv2 treatment
Happy Birthday! God bless you today and always. Jesus Christ is King, He will never abandon you. Any suffering we endure we can offer to His Holy Cross. Again, happy birthday, enjoy this beautiful day so blessed to so many!
Dan, couldn't agree more with your snapshot of our cultural evolution. Thank you for taking time to share your wry, inspiring observations of the human condition. What a blessing to have a caring family, so many do not.
I am praying for your eternal salvation. We are physical beings. Our souls are eternal. Please take the time to read the book of John in the Bible. It is truth, may the Lord who meet you right where you are, seek Jesus. Then you will know. He created you in your mother's womb and will meet you where you are. Book to read is "Case for Christ" author Lee Strobel who was an atheist. ❤ in Christ, you are an inspiration!!!
Praying for you
I was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the age of 42. What you say makes total sense to me and I agree, cancer really makes you want to live and not sweat the small stuff. Bless you, I’m thinking of you❤
good luck to you 💪
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.

I’m so happy for you and your Mom! ❤❤❤. Your Mom gives me so much hope. My Mom had Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. She fought like hell for six years and she beat it on February 9, 2020. She passed away, which means there was nothing and nowhere the cancer could grow anymore.
I was on hospice yrs ago. I was given 6 months to live. I woke up one morning and I just knew what to do. I took off my o2, went to the track, took off my o2 and pushed my body over and over again until I was confident I'd pass all my dr. Tests . They said I don't exist in medical books. My point is, miracles can happen . I'm praying you catch a miracle as I did❤
Wow. Praise God.
Miracles can happen if they sheeple dont inject LUCIFERase in their shoulders.

You're a strong, deep, wise man, Dan.
I've my lymphoma diagnosis on january this year. I went full on with fasting cycles, took half the tumor away (4 cm on a tumor of 8).
I've a very rare form of lyphoma, docs don't know how it is going to behave.
Fasting helped to clean the mind, also. But it is not for the faints of hearth, it's an hardcore fight.
Still i feel fine, i'm good with what's coming.
Love from Italy...
Prayers for you
Well done, Fabio! That’s a GREAT response to your fasting regime.
So who were the other people in your study? Who were the controls so we know it wasn't something else causing you to get better? I'm glad you are feeling better, but what is the real evidence for your claim?
@@boycott2720 He doesn’t have to prove anything to you. Meanwhile, get acquainted with the new research into fasting and cancer. Think professors Seyfried, Longo. And draw your own conclusions. Or wait until it’s all settled science, which will be decades.
@@boycott2720 You are a troll.
I'm not doing a 'study'.
I'm trying to cope with a lymphoma.
Dan went keto for a reason, and so did I with fasting.
It is effective? It is not?
I don't know, i'm not a researcher, i'm a patient.
Still I CAN talk about my own experience without you trying to invalidate my own life choice.
I have done NO kind of 'claim' and i DO NOT endorse any kind of 'therapy' for other people, BECAUSE i'm not a MD but a PATIENT.
If YOU search 'real evidence' of something in the TH-cam comment section YOU are delusional.
Here you find MY OWN story of fighting with my own cancer. Period.
Researchers DO the research, NOT patients.
Meanwhile trolls do the trolling.
Everyone do his thing, isn't it?
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.

I was diagnosed with metastatic Colon cancer Stage IVb in Jan of this year. And I am going through the same as you, as far as the way I am trying to live each day. I am sad, I am angry, I am calm, but I also feel free. I also feel that I still have so much to give. Burning through savings, and I know I am very blessed. I just want to hug you or give you many Hi5s. Thank you for sharing your journey, I have been feeling so alone in this journey even with my support team. Again thank you. I'm sorry.
Praying for you.
I’m sorry for your diagnosis and that you feel alone. I’m sure it’s hard for you to feel understood on any level. But maybe finding a group of people who are going through the same thing would help.

What a beautiful soul you are Dr. Dan. Your message and legacy is impacting countless people. RIP.
I really don't think anyone has ever made such an impact on me before in such a short time. I'm a nurse and I've never seen anyone cope so well with your diagnosis. I will be praying for a miracle for you. Please keep us posted on how you're doing so we don't worry..❤
Why would U pray to a god that allows cancer to exist?
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.
@@AquarianNomadic 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.
@@Wasted_Talent007 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.

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.
Watching this video... I can't even tell he is going through cancer and suffering from it. My goodness, what an incredibly nice guy. May his soul rest in peace. Life is not fair.

hang in there
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 TH-camrs 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.
Greetings from Germany. My Father was diagnosed with Black Skincancer Stage 4 in 2017. The cancer spread to his right lung and they removed the cancer there. He started immuno therapy right after and he still lives today (now 66 years old). They said the immuno therapy would prolong his life for about 12 month if lucky. All the best wishes and NEVER GIVE UP.
Please forgive my ignorance is this melanoma on black skin? Your dad will be in my prayers tonight
Thank you. Yes its called Malignant Melanoma Stage 4@@heatherm8736
I walked through this path with my best friend who was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2012 and given 12 months to live. After the initial shock, she faced her mortality with a joy, courage and grace that I have never seen before. She even wrote her own funeral.
When I went through treatment for the same disease last year, I found myself thinking how unfair it was that we had the same thing, we went through the same process, yet she died and I have a normal life expectancy.
I’m a survivor. Breast cancer. I’m six years out. No one knows how long we really have. God bless you.
RIP Dan. You'll be missed and very much remembered.
So proud of you! And don’t apologize for crying, you’ve got to let that crap out, man! Just think, you’ve affected so many people around the world just with this video, and we are all sending you a warm embrace, infinite love and prayers ❤️🙏🕊
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!!

My son thought he had back pain from helping his friend move. He went to the hospital for pain killer and after some tests, was told that he had metastatic prostate cancer and was already in the process of dying. He was only 52. He told me that he was not afraid, but felt sorry for me & told me not to suffer. How can you not? You are a very brave man discussing your prognosis here and helping other people understand the fickleness of life. God bless you and yours!
I don't no what to say....I am so sorry.
Unfortunately my dad past away this year 5th January 2023. Stage 4 cancer he was only 56 years old.
My dad was a family man always talking forcing us into conversations about politics and economics.
When they told my dad it's cancer he just stopped talking he kind of just shut down socially.
I remember waking up because I couldn't sleep and coming down stairs and hugging my dad crying my eyes out knowing full well it's game over but telling my dad the doctors haven't sed anything about you passing away you will be fine just eat because by this time my dad's intake had dropped massive.
About 10 months before he was a 14 stone healthy bloke and now he was more like 7 stones and I could feel his back bone and shoulder blades.
It's bad may God help us cure cancer.
Hi! Yeah life can turn pretty quick :s How is it going with him? I got that same shit and got my neck broken for about 6 weeks ago. metastatic prostate cancer all the way up to my neck. To me they say dont worry, you got at least 2 years but probely a lot more. Im turning 50 this summer. Hope your soon is ok!
So sorry for what your son went through. Many times it’s the support from our family and friends that help us the most in devastating circumstances. You were by his side that what matters most 🙏
Your life wasnt wasted Dr Dan. You are loved and you have given a lot to many people. I wish i was there so I could of given you a hug😢❤
You will live beyond 6 months, I am going to check out your videos after 6 months. Get stronger, and believe in yourself - you are recovering!
When I clicked on this video I automatically assumed you would be talking about someone else with cancer. Looking at you for the first time I would never guess you have cancer and was given 2-6 months to live. I wish you the best health and that you overcome any timeframe expectations.
Prayers for you in jesus christ name 🙏

You said you wouldn’t probably have time to give back to society in the way you wanted to, but I disagree. This video is EVERYTHING and such a gift. I watched the whole thing and have huge tears streaming down my face - both from realizing how I have been ignoring the real stuff and gotten bogged down by the petty, also always feeling a sense of dissatisfaction and unease…and also how big your heart is, for sharing all this with us, this important message that you seem to have completely embodied and know in every fiber of your being. I am inspired to live a different way and I’m so thankful you made this video. Bless you and I am sending you so much love. ❤
Cancer is a big scam and money maker. It is man made and digusting! Some people and I have caught them in the act, it is a terrible shame and they get away with it all the time.

Amen to every word of that. Me too. Thank you for your gift to us. Bless you and thank you, Dr Dan. With so much love
I will always cherish this particular video from Dr Dan. I know Dr Dan is soon to transition into the next life in this moment, but, I’m going back through and watching these videos & this one is really one to make me really think about how I look at life.
Your “good thing about cancer” conversation reminds me of something I just heard recently by Carl Jung that I found so profound …”the first half of life is devoted to developing a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it “
You are describing this so well. I am stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. And I’ve felt it is kind of a blessing. I get to see what is really important. I’ve not been given your timeline yet. I’m praying for you and No as long as you’re breathing there is hope.
Such a positive attitude! People hate me saying I would rather have cancer than being in a car accident and dying. With cancer you can say goodbye to your loved ones which is more deep, I was diagnosed with MS 40 years ago. In 1993 I was paralyzed and had high dose steroids. Months later participated in a drug trial. Never was paralyzed again. In 2014 had drop foot so using a cane or mini e-bikes. MS made me do everything on my bucket list. I tell people MS is a blessing because you appreciate seeing beauty nature and still walking. MS has made me less shallow and minimize possessions. When my friend criticizes me because I have not repainted my bathroom ceiling due to a stain I tell her I do not care.
Enjoy your days. If you are close to your employees and work fulfills you with joy work. If not, enjoy every sunrise and sunset. You are feeling well so do it! Who cares if you take on debt to enjoy it your assets wealth or debt does not go with you when you pass. Carpe diem
Absolutely one of the best, deepest and most meaningful posts I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading! I don’t even know you, but I love you!!!❤❤❤
I'm so glad you're doing well, but some people are in a lot of pain.
Our 12 year old didn't say goodbye when cancer killed him. He knew what was coming after everything failed and he was scared and he wasn't ready to die. A crash would have been kinder.
I may have misunderstood you, but taking on debt intentionally, especially if you suspect you or your estate won't be able to pay it back is the same as stealing. So if one doesn't want to disobey God, never acquire debt that you cannot repay. Peace and comfort to all those (and there are many!) who are suffering.
@@runningfromabear8354, you say "after everything failed"
What exactly was it, that had failed ?
Rewatching this knowing you passed hits so differently. 😢 You were ana amazing human with so much positivity. I miss seeing your updates although the struggles have ended. Cancer doesn't discriminate. Lost my partner of 20 years to Gliopblastoma brain cancer at 42, I don't look at life the same or monrtality. It's a grim assessment and a huge wake up call.
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.
The cool thing about cancer that you're describing is EXACTLY what I experienced as well. I try to explain it to people but I'm not sure they always get it. There's a magic sense of presence and all of the superficial things no longer matter. Every moment and every experience just feels so magical, no matter how simple, maybe because it could be your last. At 34 I had stage 4 colon cancer and have been cancer free now for a year and a half, I hope it doesn't come back but I still feel like even now I'm preparing mentally for my death in this way, stepping away from the fear but trying to remember the presence and what really matters. I wish you the best brother! I hope you keep experiencing this magic for the rest of your life, no matter how long you're here.
What was your treatment victorwilliams?
I’m telling you strength of mind is a medicine as well; my grandmother diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and she opted for no treatment they told her she had 2 to 6 months. She said “I’ll go when I’m ready.” She passed 4 1/2 years later at 86. You are strong and young.
He said he's 55, he looks 10 years younger.
Oh Dan, Your smile is contagious and your heart is full of love. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest - I am believing the best for you.
❤ Whatever you do, please don’t take that 2-6 month life expectancy as a given! Cancer patients are constantly beating the odds and living much longer! It’s good to go ahead and do some necessary planning, but always be open-minded about giving a trial treatment a shot!
Keep us all updated and keep up your healthy routine!
Thinking of you in Georgia.🙋♀️💕
It's officially recognised as medical hexing,
You mentioned having so much left to do, and while I can't imagine how intense the meaning behind that sentiment is, I'd like to humbly share that this video helped a stranger out of a horrible panic attack today whilst stuck at work. Your kindness and bravery in sharing your journey brought out the inner strength I needed to move through that challenging space. Thank you so much - I'm sending positivity your way each morning during meditation.
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.
I'm so sorry to hear about your prognosis. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer back in August 2020 and I found your videos around the time I had my final surgery in 2021. I've now been in remission for just over two years. When I first watched your videos, I thought for sure you would be in the same place as me. I'm so sorry that the beast that is cancer has not let you go.
My cool thing about cancer is that, for the first time in my life, I love myself. Period. Not because of how I look, what the scale says, how much money I make, how others perceive me or what I do for others but I have a genuine unconditional love for myself which has affected the way that I see and view others in my life. I don't think I can effectively explain it but I love so much!
Good for you🌹🌹🌹
I was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer 1-25-2021. Had surgery a month later and 6 months of chemotherapy. I'm being treated at the Duke Cancer Center. I agree with everything you posted. I want to say to all out there attitude is everything. Stay positive and active.
Look at yourself every time you are at the bathroom mirror and say, "I love you."
You have explained yourself beautifully. 💝
0MG thank you for sharing your life's struggle with this wicked disease. I know you have helped so many people going through the same journey. My heart and thoughts are with you. You are such a special man and it was uplifting to hear how you speak about what you are going through. It sounds like you have a good support system behind you. Keep strong 💪Sending love❤ and respect to you from Rosie O from Devon England 🤗🇬🇧
Just came by your video. First of all you look amazing and so healthy that it’s unbelievable that your prognosis is even possible! Your message is very inspiring and what a kind soul you are! Sending you all the best and wishing you peace and as many smiles as possible! ❤
just lost my mom last week to cancer. Im searching youtube for some sort of comfort. Thanks for sharing your story. Your bravery is inspirational. I love your approach. Sending you positive vibes.
May peace be with you moving forward. Based on your comment to Dr. Dan, I believe your mom is very proud of you. 💜☯️💜

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So sorry for your loss❤️ I pray your sweet mother is at peace❤️❤️❤️
@@MissFeline thank you all for the kind words. My mom was very much like Dr. Dan and she had a positive attitude and was strong. Im so proud of her.
Dr Dan is an inspiration, I experienced going through this with a family member, it’s devastating. One problem leads to the next , but his ability to communicate what he was going through is amazing and very brave. I can’t watch his videos without crying
God Bless Dr Dan. My sister passed of breast cancer on March 30th at just 43. She stood so strong and never wavered in her faith of God through it all. She taught me so much about the exact things you are speaking of. Live in the moment, take in the little things, be kind, resist negativity and focus on positivity.
Wherever this road leads you, trust that it is the path you were meant take from the beginning. None of us know how our physical life will end, but it is guaranteed to end. We have to be our best in the time we are given!
Again, best wishes and prayers to you and your family for whatever your future holds.
My partner was given 3 weeks to live in April 2022 and died May 21st 2023. He hung on as long as he could even though the cancer had spread. He was determined to live !
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
Hi Dr Dan. I am writing from Lisboa, Portugal where I am spending my anniversary with my loving wife. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer a month ago. Since that time I have gone thru all the mental anguish, fears, regrets and hopefulness that you expressed! It is good to hear someone else articulate what I have felt. Like you, I plan on relishing every breath, every moment, everyone in my life. Thank you and all the other people so much for sharing your stories! It really means a lot.
Stay strong. I'm hoping that you'll beat this and have many many more anniversaries to celebrate with your wife.
Wouldnt have notice Doc has cancer he looks more like a fitness coach, if not for the 6mos to live!
I had stage 4 cancer in 2001. I went to the Texas Medical Center here in Houston, Tx -- M D Anderson Canceer Hospital. I got a form of stem cell therapy combined with radiation. I'm 20 years in remission. The Texas Medicacl Center is noted for treating cancer and heart disease.
