My next door neighbor , who had lung cancer, and all other treatments failed, got on the immunotherapy and it cured her cancer. Several years after she was to be dead, she is cancer free and doing great.
Maybe miracles can happen. So far been told I have one year to live if I don't have treatment. Chemo sounds horrendous. They say it can't be cured so no hope for me.
it is a shame they don't offer these options in the beginning while you are still strong. BUT NOOO, they poison you with what they know will most of the time NOT WORKdefinitely
it is possible my dad had stage 4 lung cancer non small type.. he had surgery but there was some tumor left it was to risky to take it all out he did chemotherapy with immunotherapy(keytruda) he did that for 3 months every 3 weeks after that he went for scan and the tumor died no sign of cancer doctor call it miracle they dont undrestand how this happend..so trust me everything is possible ...its already nearly 1 year in remission
You look great, I had stage 4 esophageal cancer. I went for chemotherapy and radiation for 23 days straight. I had surgery on July 20th and am now cancer free. I'm doing 6 treatments of immunotherapy now. Stay positive
God Bless you! My husband was diagnosed with kidney and liver cancer 4 years ago so we are on this journey as well. Scans every 3 months but so far no new tumors. Life is precious. Stay strong!
Dan. Went through this 5 1/2 years ago. Squamous cell carcinoma. Metastasized to my lung. Had immune therapy (nivolumab, aka Keytruda) in combination with a lot of radiation. Obviously lived to tell the tale, against the odds. Wishing you a quick recovery and a long healthy life. Pulling for you. Pulling for you. Pulling for you
Hey, was it Nivolumab/Opdivo or Pembrolizumab/Keytruda? They are both PD1 immune checkpoint therapies but Opdivo is usually given to non-solid tumour related cancers whereas Keytruda is given to patients with solid tumors. I guess it was Keytruda?
Great to hear about your recovery from metastatic disease. Are you still on treatment or has your immune defence taught itself how to recognise the cancer? In that case, you've had a complete response to the treatment. That's amazing as well as inspiring:)
so so happy for you man. my dad had keytruda, but unfortunately it didn't help much for his bone metastasis. they told us it's not as effective for hard tissues such as bone.
My father battled Mesothelioma (asbestos cancer) and was given 8 months. After chemo failed, they gave him Keytruda (AKA: Pembrolizumab) and eventually led to no evidence of disease. That was about 7 years ago. Still cancer free. Immunotherapy is going to continue to evolve and improve for most cancers.
I completely identify with what you are saying about not giving up. I was diagnosed with HIV in 1986. I was wasting away and dying slowly in 1995 and the new meds (cocktails) became available in 1996 and here I am thriving with great health in 2023! Backpacking and learning jazz piano playing…having a good time! I hope the new treatment will help you. Don’t give up!
My mother was diagnosed with kidney cancer at 61 yrs old and given only a 35% chance of survival. She lived to a ripe old age of 82 and was told she was a miracle. No reason you can’t also get your miracle. Wishing you many more decades here with us…
Dan, I am facing a terminal dx too, it’s in my liver, bones and small lung nodules. I sure hope you exceed our “expiration” dates, love your channel. Hang in there bro, we are all praying for you. Plz have them check out that cough.
My gym buddy 3 years ago had a big lump under her arm, it was melanoma, they couldn't find the primary, luckily she had a specialist that got her on immunotherapy , she gets scans every 3 months , and no signs of it recurring, it is the best treatment, some side effects, but compared to chemo , nothing Melanoma stage 3b is pretty bad , but she is going good I wish you every bit of healing with this, you are only young, lots of life to live, your attitude is awesome Keep positive always, healing from Australia
I have been severely depressed for awhile now, and hearing your perspective on life and the positivity you exude despite grappling with a bleak prognosis… you really inspire me Dan. I try not to get down on myself or fall prey to the urge to self-attack for feeling depressed despite living a relatively good life, but your attitude does encourage me to try and find the good in my existence and to seek to cultivate a real, meaningful and enduring sense of hope for my future and the potential that it may hold. Thank you for being you, and for touching the lives of so many strangers just like me… your words mean more than you might ever know.
I too suffer with debilitating depression, along with health problems. 😢 Anyone outside looking in, would not understand why I should be so depressed. I totally agree with you. Dan is an inspiration!
I’ve read that immunotherapy can be brutal because while it stimulates the immune system to attack the cancer, it produces life-threatening side effects. It can produce startlingly good results though.
@@DJ-bj8ku yes, it creates a autoimmune disease of sorts, by eliminating the constrains on t cells, they start to attack healthy cells too, we need to use AI to improve these medications and for this, we need more funding
I'm so glad that you're feeling well! My friend Janie had cancer that had metastasized all over her body. Doctors gave her 2 to 6 months to live but she lived almost 4 years! In fact, she outlived her husband and sister. Keep up that positive attitude. I'm sure that's what kept Janie with us for so long. Lots of prayers going your way!
Hoping this happens for my sister. Glioblastoma dx late June. Rad and oral chemo. She doesn’t qualify for any trials. So hard. Recently widowed, no children.
I hope you are all right Doc. So worried about you, it’s been weeks since you made video. You are a fighter and if there are higher forces please send to our Doc love, light and renew his every cell with a new healthy ones.
My husband is battling Stage IV colorectal cancer also. My thought are with your family. It is very hereditary - please get yourself checked regularly.
@@MyPronounIsGoddess, That’s a fair question that I wish I had an answer for. I’m not sure why I was spared but he says he had no symptoms till the end and when he got checked out, it was Stage IV.
Wow you are 100% correct. I have patients that i try to explain this to. Even if there's about a 2% chance of survival, why can't YOU be that 2%... praying for you constantly. Do you have family that is there for you and supporting you? Wife, children, parents, siblings etc? You're such a giving person i hope you are being given love and support by people all around, and a hug. Hugs heal us. Don't forget to hug those around you that you love!
Hello Dr. I used to live in Austin back in 2015-2018, spent 15+ years in Houston area also. ATX such a great town. I lived off Riverside and Congress. Miss my P Terry’s, Blacks BBQ, the Lake and so much more. What does this reminiscing have to do with your current situation? Nothing other than a stranger sharing good ole memories of somewhere in Texas with a doctor who I consider my friend and family. Wishing you continued courage that YOU have shown ALL of US!
Ive never rooted for a stranger as hard as im rooting for you. I found your channel by chance and now im locked in and often wondering how youre doing. I believe you will be the acception and be cancer free.
❤ Daniel, you DO have an ocean of prayers flying in to you from out here! Every day is a blessing. You have many, many, more to come. We send blessings from Oregon. ❤
Dr Dan I just want to let you know how much of an inspiration you are to me. I am about a month and a half into my own battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer and i am living my best life ever!! Watching your videos has taught me so much and your positivity is so contagious!!! My faith in my savior Jesus Christ, my family, and your videos keep me stronger than i have ever been in my life. I pray for you everyday for your healing and complete recovery!! You deserve all of life’s rewards and i will never stop praying for you!!! You have touched my life more than you will ever know!!!
I just completed my third round of folfoxiri. I fasted for 48hrs before each round and have had zero side effects thus far. I researched fasting before chemo and apparently when you fast before chemo it protects your healthy cells and makes the cancer cells sensitive to the chemo. After two rounds they did a cea blood test that measures tumor activity in your body. When i was diagnosed my cea was 35 and after two rounds it dropped to 8!!!!! Im getting very close to the normal cea level!! Ive stayed positive like dr dan, and the power of prayer, faith, and fasting is getting me through this!!!
I’m so looking forward to your birthday update video where we celebrate you and your first Trial experience! You’re as sharp as ever, and looking strong and vibrant! Cheers to a successful trial! So thankful to hear you’re feeling well. Know that we’re going to continue to blanket you with love, prayers and good healing vibes. ❤
I just have to say what a wonderful man you are. Your optimism is infectious and much needed in this world. Praying that God's plan for you is a lengthy stay with us and what you are experiencing is just a bad bad bump in your life's journey. Happy Birthday and the 15th will be here soon.
Your birthday is same as mine. I wish I could give you some of my own years of life to guarantee you a longer life. I am sure it would be well spent with the good work you do and the outlook on life and meaning that you express. But who knows maybe you will live longer than me anyhow. I stumbled on your previous update video because I have done a little bit of research on cancer as one possible cause for my own slightly off blood values along with fatigue and stress.. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
I'm one who's been praying for you Dr. Dan. I've been on my own journey with ovarian cancer and unlike you I've not handled it well mentally. You're such an inspiration to me with your positive attitude and you look great! Cancer is so hard not just physically but emotionally as I've battled extreme anxiety and depression which I take many drugs for. You are the strongest person I've seen fighting this and I pray the immunotherapy destroys all the cancer cells. Blessings to you!
My best friend has ovarian cancer.... I had anal cancer myself. I understand the anxiety and depression. Have you practiced mindfulness strategies at all? Also, my friend has gotten very good results with immunotherapy after a hipec surgery which almost killed her. I just had my annual CT scan yesterday and await results. So far, 3 years no cancer. I wish you the best! Stay busy, exercise if and when you can and engage with friends and family as much as possible. Kind thoughts to you. ❤
@@lynnmahan154 Blessings to you and your friend. I also had the hipec surgery last year--a tough surgery for sure! I asked my onc about immunotherapy and he told me it's not effective on ovarian cancer? I also am having next CT scan on Friday so am a bundle of nerves over that.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I completely fell apart. I got hooked on Ativan (here, take one of these before chemo!) and I started drinking, which I never had done before. I had a sh*tty attitude. My kids were 6 and 4. That was 31 years ago - despite basically trying to kill myself before the cancer could, I survived. Every scan terrified me. I know how you feel and you have every reason to - cancer sucks. But pls just hang in there and keep me posted. I care. Much love from NYC
Breast cancer fighter here. I can tell you the anxiety that comes with a cancer diagnosis is extreme. I must practice mindfulness 10 times a day just to try and remain in the moment and not spiral and even that barely works some days. Dr. Dan is an inspiration. Thinking positively for you and Dr. Dan.
Hi Dr. Says, I paused this video and said a prayer for you that this new drug work for you, especially since you are pretty young and healthy overall. 😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your Oncologist was mine when I was back in Texas... I love her! So glad you are doing the Trial!!! What are you doing now instead of Keto? Thank you so much for the update. The proper mindset is so important... continue working on your mind, good job! God bless you; I am praying for you! Please keep us updated!
Hello, is there any way to get an update on Dr. Dan??? We have been praying for him since we learned of his condition. We love Dr. Dan, we all hope he has peace of mind and we appreciate him for allowing us into his life. His faith, courage and positive outlook on life has really changed our perspective on life and what is truly important . We will never be the same, we are better people for knowing Dr. Dan. God Bless you Dr. Dan!!!
Dan, your positivity is inspiring and a blessing to us who’ve watched you fiercely and fearlessly battle for your precious life especially this past year. I don’t usually comment, but just wanted to let you know I’m rooting and praying for your success and victory, and many more happy healthy decades of life ❤
I think it is your 55th Birthday 11-18. Best wishes from my family for your birthday. I hope the ultimate, as you say, "Bridge over a rough patch" enters your life with boundless restorative energy. I have a gut feeling it will. I hope your Holidays are wonderful. I just discovered your channel today. I really appreciate your attitude and perspective and obvious love for your fellow man. You were level headed and handing out good advice in the Spring of 2020.
Praying for you❤😊 I agree with working through cancer treatment if you can. My dad begged me to keep working while I fought breast cancer, he was right. You are a blessing. 🙏😢🎃
Dan, you definitely can be one who beats the odds. My neighbor had stage 4 breast cancer and that was 17 years ago and she is now 80 years old and doing great. Love your positive attitude....
Praying for you Sir. Your attitude and physical preparedness are extraordinary. Many people are praying for you. Be as ready spiritually as you are mentally and physically. Now is the time.
I can't imagine pulling for someone harder than I am you, Dr. Dan. Everything about you is inspiring. I believe you're going to beat the odds. You're doing everything right and you've got the perfect attitude. Keep living your life. ❤
You are a rolemodel for everybody that is Voting through a rough time in life. You are one of the bravest people i have seen. I wish you all the best and hope that the immunotherapy is you‘re salvation. It was for my Grandma! The odds were against her but the immunotherapy turned it around completely. Now 10 Years later she is still cancer free and is living her best life. Keep fighting, i wish you all the best! Greetings from Germany ❤️
Dr, Dan as one November 18th birthday boy to another I'm sending you my very best wishes and hoping that both of us have many more November 18s to look forward to.
This Earthly journey is but brief for all of us, just for some more brief than for others. None of us should fear death. Is it any different than going to bed at night and then waking up in the morning? Close your eyes one minute and open them the next to a different reality. We so trust waking up. We trust waking up to the same reality? But everything changes. Could dying be a different way to live? Dying is a different way to live. Nothing’s ever really dead if you look at it right. Much love & light to you, sweet man.
Dan, you are such an inspiration. I too had terminal stage 4 cancer, refused chemo, Drs wrote me off, nothing else they could do. Yet, I’m still here, years later, doing great! Praying Immunotherapy works. But also, research Fenbendazole, Berberine, Curcumin (Turmeric), Quercetin, Resveratrol, Artemisia Annua
Dr Dan - i am a young stage 4 colon cancer patient myself , i so understand what you are going through. ( i was diagnosed stage 4 in 2019 ). Its amazing what they are doing with treatments now - i will include you in my prayers. God is good!
Hi Dan please share updates good or not so good , we all love and pray for you , please don’t feel you should only share when your feeling upbeat , we are here for you regardless ❤️🙏🏻
I just found you. I send to you my strong, hopeful and optimistic mindset. I too work with people in pain, a non profit cancer organization where I lead meditation/ visualization classes. I'm spiritual but also a realist. You can be one of those people, of course you can. Live daily, normally (whatever that means). This week I talked about truth on my channel and in my classes. I believe you are living truthfully. Acceptance and optimism. The best to you!
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non Small Cell Adenoca Lung cancer June 2017. Started Keytruda February 2018 because Chemo did not work. Stopped Keytruda September 2022 because insurance would no longer cover the cost because I had been showing no sign of disease for over a year. I thank God for my miracle and giving man the wisdom to develop the drug Keytruda.
Dr. Dan, you’re not just a pain Sherpa, you’re a life Sherpa! You’ve inspired me to do some fine-tuning in my life while navigating 3 gnarly chronic illnesses! Go on with your positive self and I look forward to hearing about your immunotherapy success 🎉🧡
Dr Dan, you rock 🪨 🎸 you're going through your own health struggles but here you are helping other's I pray for you, I think of you along with other's who have cancer here on TH-cam, you're amazing and yes renew everything in faith that it's going to happen that you'll be here ❤️ ❤
My Son’s Partner begins chemotherapy today. It’s so traumatic for them. ❤ Dr. Dan, I’ve followed you for 12 months now and have always appreciated the straightforward information you’ve given. Also the admirable, respectful and caring way you portray when addressing patients in your care. I will share your Video, hoping it helps others and sends people to your Channel in support of You. Thank you for the update! ❤❤❤
I pray that you had a good birthday and that you are doing well. I will Continue praying that immunotherapy will work for you. You have become such an inspiration to me to keep having hope since I lost my partner Tim this summer. Please understand that so many people are inspired by your kindness, strength and tenacity including me.
Dan, my name is Brendan. I lost my Dad, at the age of 18 to cancer; this year I lost my Mom to cancer. The way you are handling this is AMAZING! You will reach this goal. I am praying for you. I wish you were my Dr! My mom went back onto chemo and I think it took months off of her life; I wish we would have just kept on immunotherapy.
My high school sweetheart was diagnosed with lung cancer metastatic to his brain, spine, lymph system, liver and spleen. His doctor told him that he had 2 months to live. He was given chemo at Mt. Sinai in NYC followed by immunotherapy with Ketruda. He has completed immunotherapy after 2 years on Ketruda and there is now no sign of cancer. Immunotherapy is even making the oncologists re-think the traditional outlook on cancer. My friend is feeling great and at 82 years old, he's still enjoying riding his Harley, fishing and all of his favorite activities. He feels better than I do with my 2 autoimmune diseases. I hope you have excellent results!
I do not know you but since I watched your first video I think about you almost daily and pray for you often. Praying for the future and that trials go well.
Dr. Valter Longo out of Southern California University has seen great results using his fasting mimicing protocol in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments. I have been following his guidelines and have seen tremendous improvement in many layers of poor health. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you always. I'm so thankful for your joyous spirit and the hope you've given me.
My next door neighbor , who had lung cancer, and all other treatments failed, got on the immunotherapy and it cured her cancer. Several years after she was to be dead, she is cancer free and doing great.
Maybe miracles can happen. So far been told I have one year to live if I don't have treatment. Chemo sounds horrendous. They say it can't be cured so no hope for me.
Which immunotherapy?
it is a shame they don't offer these options in the beginning while you are still strong. BUT NOOO, they poison you with what they know will most of the time NOT WORKdefinitely
If stage 3 or 4 no way dude
it is possible my dad had stage 4 lung cancer non small type..
he had surgery but there was some tumor left it was to risky to take it all out he did chemotherapy with immunotherapy(keytruda)
he did that for 3 months every 3 weeks after that he went for scan and the tumor died no sign of cancer doctor call it miracle they dont undrestand how this happend..so trust me everything is possible ...its already nearly 1 year in remission
I have everyone in my church praying for you. That’s 2.5 thousand Australians praying and cheering you on 🙏 👏 you got this mate 💪🏼
Wow. that's awesome!
How sweet of you!
This is amazing. I’ve always been a lover of all things Aussie, even though I’m Cuban-American. Thank you for praying for a wonderful man!
@@lIlIIIIIIIlIl You're right. It only takes 1 person with faith to pray for healing. No big hooha service required.
@@lIlIIIIIIIlIl there is no numbers game. I only mentioned the number so Dan would know how many people care about him
You look great, I had stage 4 esophageal cancer. I went for chemotherapy and radiation for 23 days straight. I had surgery on July 20th and am now cancer free. I'm doing 6 treatments of immunotherapy now. Stay positive
I'm so happy for you! What a story
@@flyingwaffle123 Fantastic. May you forever be free of that horrid disease!

God Bless you! My husband was diagnosed with kidney and liver cancer 4 years ago so we are on this journey as well. Scans every 3 months but so far no new tumors. Life is precious. Stay strong!
Praying for you. Look forward to your story
I have a feeling Dr.Dan will be saying he has 2 months left 10 years from now! Keep shining we love ya!
I hope and pray you’re right!!!🤞🙏❤
If he keeps agreeing with that, that's speaking negativity and he agrees with it.
Sending much love and prayers to you

I researched fasting before chemo and apparently when you fast before chemo it protects your healthy cells and makes the cancer cells sensitive to the chemo. After two rounds they did a cea blood test that measures tumor activity in your body. When i was diagnosed my cea was 35 and after two rounds it dropped to 8!!!!! Im getting very close to the normal cea level!! Ive stayed positive like dr dan, and the power of prayer, faith, and fasting is getting me through this!!!
You look great! It’s hard to comprehend you could be in your last weeks or months. I think you’ll surprise your docs! Hang in there! 🎃
Your positivity blows me away, inspirational
I’m so looking forward to your birthday update video where we celebrate you and your first Trial experience! You’re as sharp as ever, and looking strong and vibrant! Cheers to a successful trial! So thankful to hear you’re feeling well. Know that we’re going to continue to blanket you with love, prayers and good healing vibes. ❤
I just have to say what a wonderful man you are. Your optimism is infectious and much needed in this world. Praying that God's plan for you is a lengthy stay with us and what you are experiencing is just a bad bad bump in your life's journey. Happy Birthday and the 15th will be here soon.
Thanks for checking in 😊 you are incredible how you handle your situation- a real role model ❤ all the best 🙏
Your birthday is same as mine. I wish I could give you some of my own years of life to guarantee you a longer life. I am sure it would be well spent with the good work you do and the outlook on life and meaning that you express. But who knows maybe you will live longer than me anyhow. I stumbled on your previous update video because I have done a little bit of research on cancer as one possible cause for my own slightly off blood values along with fatigue and stress.. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
I'm one who's been praying for you Dr. Dan. I've been on my own journey with ovarian cancer and unlike you I've not handled it well mentally. You're such an inspiration to me with your positive attitude and you look great! Cancer is so hard not just physically but emotionally as I've battled extreme anxiety and depression which I take many drugs for. You are the strongest person I've seen fighting this and I pray the immunotherapy destroys all the cancer cells. Blessings to you!
My best friend has ovarian cancer.... I had anal cancer myself. I understand the anxiety and depression. Have you practiced mindfulness strategies at all? Also, my friend has gotten very good results with immunotherapy after a hipec surgery which almost killed her. I just had my annual CT scan yesterday and await results. So far, 3 years no cancer. I wish you the best! Stay busy, exercise if and when you can and engage with friends and family as much as possible. Kind thoughts to you. ❤
@@lynnmahan154 Blessings to you and your friend. I also had the hipec surgery last year--a tough surgery for sure! I asked my onc about immunotherapy and he told me it's not effective on ovarian cancer? I also am having next CT scan on Friday so am a bundle of nerves over that.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I completely fell apart. I got hooked on Ativan (here, take one of these before chemo!) and I started drinking, which I never had done before. I had a sh*tty attitude. My kids were 6 and 4. That was 31 years ago - despite basically trying to kill myself before the cancer could, I survived. Every scan terrified me. I know how you feel and you have every reason to - cancer sucks. But pls just hang in there and keep me posted. I care. Much love from NYC
Breast cancer fighter here. I can tell you the anxiety that comes with a cancer diagnosis is extreme. I must practice mindfulness 10 times a day just to try and remain in the moment and not spiral and even that barely works some days. Dr. Dan is an inspiration. Thinking positively for you and Dr. Dan.

He said he is now an omnivore.
@@dalhousieDream oh, I missed that. Thank you.
Hello, is there any way to get an update on Dr. Dan??? We have been praying for him since we learned of his condition. We love Dr. Dan, we all hope he has peace of mind and we appreciate him for allowing us into his life. His faith, courage and positive outlook on life has really changed our perspective on life and what is truly important . We will never be the same, we are better people for knowing Dr. Dan. God Bless you Dr. Dan!!!
I am praying that we get some positive news soon.
@@JDCUSAor anything?
I'm trying to find out too.
Dan, your positivity is inspiring and a blessing to us who’ve watched you fiercely and fearlessly battle for your precious life especially this past year. I don’t usually comment, but just wanted to let you know I’m rooting and praying for your success and victory, and many more happy healthy decades of life ❤
I could sit and listen to your videos for hours, and i see I'm not the only one! Lots of prayers sent your way!
My Friend, I've only just recently become aware of your channel and your situation.
I'm sure that all of us out here are keeping you in our prayers.
I think it is your 55th Birthday 11-18. Best wishes from my family for your birthday. I hope the ultimate, as you say, "Bridge over a rough patch" enters your life with boundless restorative energy. I have a gut feeling it will. I hope your Holidays are wonderful. I just discovered your channel today. I really appreciate your attitude and perspective and obvious love for your fellow man. You were level headed and handing out good advice in the Spring of 2020.
Praying for you❤😊 I agree with working through cancer treatment if you can. My dad begged me to keep working while I fought breast cancer, he was right. You are a blessing. 🙏😢🎃
R u in remission now
Dan, you definitely can be one who beats the odds. My neighbor had stage 4 breast cancer and that was 17 years ago and she is now 80 years old and doing great. Love your positive attitude....
Praying for you Sir. Your attitude and physical preparedness are extraordinary. Many people are praying for you. Be as ready spiritually as you are mentally and physically. Now is the time.
Today’s the 15th and hopefully your first immunotherapy treatment went well. All the best.
You are now on my prayer list. Have hope ❤
8 months ago, so fit and handsome. I need to hear his voice for some crazy reason. Total stranger .
same
I love your positivity Dan. So happy you are starting this trial soon ❤.
Respect and greetings from Finland. Hoping for all the best possible
I can't imagine pulling for someone harder than I am you, Dr. Dan. Everything about you is inspiring. I believe you're going to beat the odds. You're doing everything right and you've got the perfect attitude. Keep living your life. ❤
You are a rolemodel for everybody that is Voting through a rough time in life. You are one of the bravest people i have seen. I wish you all the best and hope that the immunotherapy is you‘re salvation. It was for my Grandma! The odds were against her but the immunotherapy turned it around completely. Now 10 Years later she is still cancer free and is living her best life.
Keep fighting, i wish you all the best! Greetings from Germany ❤️
Dr, Dan as one November 18th birthday boy to another I'm sending you my very best wishes and hoping that both of us have many more November 18s to look forward to.
❤
Praying for you...from this retired RN.
We're just praying so hard for you. I've had cancer too. Bless your sweet heart. ❤
This Earthly journey is but brief for all of us, just for some more brief than for others. None of us should fear death. Is it any different than going to bed at night and then waking up in the morning? Close your eyes one minute and open them the next to a different reality. We so trust waking up. We trust waking up to the same reality? But everything changes. Could dying be a different way to live? Dying is a different way to live. Nothing’s ever really dead if you look at it right. Much love & light to you, sweet man.
Dr. Dan, you look wonderful. I'm so glad you do feel good. We are praying and praying for you. We need you so very much.💙💙
Dan, you are such an inspiration. I too had terminal stage 4 cancer, refused chemo, Drs wrote me off, nothing else they could do. Yet, I’m still here, years later, doing great! Praying Immunotherapy works. But also, research Fenbendazole, Berberine, Curcumin (Turmeric),
Quercetin,
Resveratrol,
Artemisia Annua
Ive heard thats a phenominal combination.
How much fendendazole did you take and is it in a pill form? Did you have surgery or only these supplements?
Praying for you, thanks you for sharing your vulnerability and the strength your demonstrating is beautiful.
Dr. Dan, you are the beacon of hope in the darkness of todays life style. You have given us reason to strive for. I pray for you. May God bless. 🤲
Dr Dan - i am a young stage 4 colon cancer patient myself , i so understand what you are going through. ( i was diagnosed stage 4 in 2019 ). Its amazing what they are doing with treatments now - i will include you in my prayers. God is good!
How r you now?are you cancer free
Please pray for my husband who is just diagnosed colon cancer stage 4 just 39 he is
Please keep us posted. Love from Australia. ❤
Hi Dan please share updates good or not so good , we all love and pray for you , please don’t feel you should only share when your feeling upbeat , we are here for you regardless ❤️🙏🏻
I just found you. I send to you my strong, hopeful and optimistic mindset. I too work with people in pain, a non profit cancer organization where I lead meditation/ visualization classes. I'm spiritual but also a realist. You can be one of those people, of course you can. Live daily, normally (whatever that means). This week I talked about truth on my channel and in my classes. I believe you are living truthfully. Acceptance and optimism. The best to you!
Your strength is incredible you are helping so many people thank you
I made an appointment last Wednesday with Dr Bockman for December 6th so he must be doing okay
So good to hear that!!
You’re such an inspiration Dan. I commend you for staying so positive about what you’re going through. My prayers are with you on this journey ❤🙏🏻…
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non Small Cell Adenoca Lung cancer June 2017. Started Keytruda February 2018 because Chemo did not work. Stopped Keytruda September 2022 because insurance would no longer cover the cost because I had been showing no sign of disease for over a year.
I thank God for my miracle and giving man the wisdom to develop the drug Keytruda.
Dr. Dan, you’re not just a pain Sherpa, you’re a life Sherpa! You’ve inspired me to do some fine-tuning in my life while navigating 3 gnarly chronic illnesses! Go on with your positive self and I look forward to hearing about your immunotherapy success 🎉🧡
Happy birthday brother. Keep pushing. You are a big inspiration to me and all of us on here. Looking forward to your updates.
You are one in a million! Your attitude is infectious. God bless you Dr Dan❤
From one November 18th Birthday Boy to another, Happy Birthday. I hope you have a wonderful day. I'm thinking about you.
Praying hard for a continuing miracle for you Dan. Keep fighting and keep the faith! 🙏🏼
Ey, juat clicked this at 1:30am in November 18th... Happy birthday!
Dr Dan, you rock 🪨 🎸 you're going through your own health struggles but here you are helping other's I pray for you, I think of you along with other's who have cancer here on TH-cam, you're amazing and yes renew everything in faith that it's going to happen that you'll be here ❤️ ❤
My Son’s Partner begins chemotherapy today. It’s so traumatic for them. ❤
Dr. Dan, I’ve followed you for 12 months now and have always appreciated the straightforward information you’ve given. Also the admirable, respectful and caring way you portray when addressing patients in your care.
I will share your Video, hoping it helps others and sends people to your Channel in support of You. Thank you for the update! ❤❤❤
What an amazingly positive attitude. I'm praying for you. My Dad is going through the same thing right now.
I pray that you had a good birthday and that you are doing well. I will Continue praying that immunotherapy will work for you. You have become such an inspiration to me to keep having hope since I lost my partner Tim this summer. Please understand that so many people are inspired by your kindness, strength and tenacity including me.
Dan, my name is Brendan. I lost my Dad, at the age of 18 to cancer; this year I lost my Mom to cancer. The way you are handling this is AMAZING! You will reach this goal. I am praying for you. I wish you were my Dr! My mom went back onto chemo and I think it took months off of her life; I wish we would have just kept on immunotherapy.
My high school sweetheart was diagnosed with lung cancer metastatic to his brain, spine, lymph system, liver and spleen. His doctor told him that he had 2 months to live. He was given chemo at Mt. Sinai in NYC followed by immunotherapy with Ketruda. He has completed immunotherapy after 2 years on Ketruda and there is now no sign of cancer. Immunotherapy is even making the oncologists re-think the traditional outlook on cancer. My friend is feeling great and at 82 years old, he's still enjoying riding his Harley, fishing and all of his favorite activities. He feels better than I do with my 2 autoimmune diseases. I hope you have excellent results!
I wish you all the best. Hoping the new therapy/trial will help
Thank you! :)
I do not know you but since I watched your first video I think about you almost daily and pray for you often. Praying for the future and that trials go well.
Good luck, Man. You are helping all of us. We all face certain death at some point.
Dr. Valter Longo out of Southern California University has seen great results using his fasting mimicing protocol in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments. I have been following his guidelines and have seen tremendous improvement in many layers of poor health. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you always. I'm so thankful for your joyous spirit and the hope you've given me.
Praying for you, Dr. Dan.🙏🏾 I check every day for an update. 💜
God bless you my friend .....U will beat this 🙏👌👍
