WOW! Thanks for recording and posting this conversation. I'm Stage 4 with a super-super-rare form of renal cell cancer, metastasized in my spine. Since there is such a small database of info about patients with my form of cancer, and they all (apparently) died fairly quickly, my oncologist immediately classified me as terminal. Like you and a couple of your guests, I don't look or act sick. (people can't see the titanium rods and screws holding my spine together where a tumor overtook a couple of vertebrae, or the scars where they took one of my kidneys out, to slow the progression)
I believe part of what makes my situation unique is that I lost my fear of death long before I ever had to consider it for myself. Beginning at 11 years old (50 years ago) I had a series of "out of body" and/or "mystical" experiences that formed my perspective on life and death. Over the last few decades I've been fascinated by stories of near death experiences and how so many people return from these experiences with a complete lack of fear about their own death. Listening to them recount their experiences reinforced my perspective on death.
Recently I've become aware of the research surrounding how "mystical experiences" brought on by psychedelics is having the same effect on terminal patients. The ramifications of losing the fear of death and reducing all the stress that goes along with that fear are the subject of long conversations.
I really like the way you added "I don't take death lightly" in this video. I get quite a bit of pushback from people who think I don't take the situation seriously enough. I think our society tells us that we SHOULD be afraid of dying, and if we're not judged to be sufficiently afraid, we must be in denial... or something.
Thanks again for posting this.

Thank you so much for responding. Death is serious business, but I think it's important to recognize that it will happen. My goal with this video was to show there are different ways to look at death. It doesn't have to be scary. It can be motivating and give you gratitude. It's unfortunate that it has to happen but it does. No one can change that.
@@ThatCancerLife Thanks! Annie and I were talking about it this morning. I think it's absolutely normal for death to be mourned by the person who's dying and their loved-ones. But I don't think it has to be feared. ~Dan
Love your attitude it’s good to be spiritual nothing to fear but plenty to cheer
This is such a thoughtful and beautiful video, thank you for sharing.
Your video is a bresth of fresh air. Your right, we do not want to talk about death. Death is a part of living and can be beautiful and peaceful. We need to embrace the fact that it's gonna happen.
Thank you so much for checking it out and commenting, Death definitely freaks people out but it doesn't have to be that way.
Im at such a low in life, these videos put me into perspective heavily. I'm not terminal that i know of, but i fear life 😢
Life is heavy for sure. There’s no right way to deal with the rough patches. What’s always helped me is not ignoring the bad but not forgetting what could be. Someone told me to imagine the next 24 hours could be the best of my life. It probably won’t be, but maybe? The possibility keeps me going. I’m just too curious to not find out either way. Regardless, I hope you find some good things to help you not feel so low.
@@ThatCancerLife thank you for your response. I battle addiction, but the usage of the drug is the least of my worries, it's ridding the ritual... i wake up every day, not sick from it, but panicking. All day is panic, anxiety, I've had years clean before, i just feel trapped and scared to let go. I suffer from ptsd and traumas, but recently ive really decided i do not want to live like this anymore. That i can not let some chemical control my every day life, i know most of my capabilities, they're powerful, even been told from others, it's my negative self esteem and fear that keeps me from leaving this relapse behind.
@@SAMEntalhealth even if you are a worthless human- and I doubt you really- you have the potential to not be. It’s not the same thing as addiction but cancer has robbed me and so many of so much confidence and self worth. My heart breaks over things I can no longer do and I fail to see the joy and happiness. I truly hope you find your way to escaping the addiction. When I was younger, I was very close to several people with addiction and I saw how it changed them and messed with their sense of identity. Just know that I believe everyone has value in making this world a better place even if only on a small level.
@@ThatCancerLife thank you so much. Seriously my heart is pure. Never stole in my addiction, caused any crimes, nothing negative. I isolate and use, but i purposely looked up videos like this, to out my mind inside yours and it's helped me to be more grateful :) tbh the only thing that calms me are the woods. I hike a lot, been practicing muay thai for,kmi?? ,,,,, know im going to pull through. Just don't have many to talk through,
@@SAMEntalhealth I did Muay Thai for several years. It definitely teaches you to keep enduring while also helping to release some suppressed emotions. And a good way to make friends with a strong bond. Just watch out for those liver shots lol.

I’ll play bass for your service my friend
That’s awesome. Even better, do you want to play some on the rock opera I’m writing? Jamie can hook us up.
Yes yes and yes. Please hit us up.
Research Rick Simpson oil. Never give up. Never give up
I’m always researching treatments. Everyone should in hopes of finding something for them.
@@ThatCancerLife my team has successfully treated 41 out of 44 patients with every different form of cancer I've ever heard of. These are people who only used RSO ( cannabis oil). No chemo and no radiation. We have witnessed miracles, literally. And there is no reason it couldn't work for all of you too. I will help anyone that I can. Just ask
@@johnjarvis2168 I don’t doubt it helps some folks but I’ve know several devoted RSO users who are now dead. And I’ve known folks who have seem dramatic results abusing drugs and alcohol and having severe depression. Each person needs to make their own decisions on treatment options. Good luck to you but I will never approve nor deny anyone’s choices.
@@ThatCancerLife Just offering an alternative. Best of luck to all of you.
Can’t we just get into it instead of all the singing and music wasting several minutes in the beginning?
Thanks for watching. I hope you eventually got something from the video.
How rude! Don't say anything at all if you cannot be kind
