Paul I'm so happy to hear from you! I have been very concerned. I am a Nurse in Canada and MAID is something I truly believe in. It's ok to be tearful, and we are here for you! I cannot understand why comments have been cruel and negative. Hurt people hurt people is what people say, but I don't know how anyone could subject you to that!? You are loved and supported! ❤ You are remarkable, in the way that even at the point you are at in life, you are still concerned about leaving a legacy of learning through your experiences! The world needs more you!!
You took the words right out of my mouth with your comment. I just can’t even begin to understand negative comments, Paul is so courageous. Paul thank you for your update. You wish to not cry anymore . I cried right with you. What I aspire to be is as strong as you are under such difficult circumstances. Kudos to you. You are OUR hero and we love you.
Beautifully said❤.... agree!! Paul please cry if you must,tears are so healing,never change. Much love & strength to you friend. We are standing right beside you in whatever you choose ❤.
Hi Paul, just wanted you to know that as an NHS doctor who has followed your journey for a year or so, you’ve taught me so much about how I can be a better supporter and advocate for my patients experiencing similar journeys. Thank you for your humility and openness in such hard times, you have a much bigger impact than you know
Gidday, Paul: I'm an expat Kiwi, now living in California. For a big part of my career in health-care, I worked in Oncology and Palliative Medicine. All of my patients were the sweetest people on the planet!. I lost my dad to cancer, when I was 16. I'm sending you all the support that I can from across the miles. I wish you clarity and peace during this uncertain season of your life. Whether you know it, or not, you are likely touching the journeys and hearts of more people than you realize. This world is all the more richer and wiser, for you being here.
I’m currently supporting my husband through hospice , in his last 6 months as well. He too choose quality over quantity after 10 years of fighting various cancer reoccurrences. Unfortunately we are in a place where the assistant death isn’t available, so we are letting nature take its coarse. We’ve gone through the anger, the crying, the humor . Now just enjoying every day he wakes up. Going on a three week cruise in 12 days to Europe. He has decided to just take it a day at a time. He says he will keep living until he isn’t anymore. He is going to be 84 in 12 days so he’s lived a rather full life.
Between your tears and smile, I can tell you are a very kind, sweet, and gentle man. Think of what a gift you have been to others,and that gift never dies! Hugs from LA.
NDE person here if you ever need to talk. I have stage 3 colon cancer. My near death experience from a botched surgery was the best gift because I understand where I’ll end up now. It’s very peaceful and the love you’ll encounter is unlike anything on earth. Rest easy Paul. This is all out of our hands. There is a GOD and you’ll be blessed, no matter what. Trust.
I love people like you... GOD BLESS YOU. ive been blessed to be a very limited experiencer of OTHER'S transitions from living to the spirit existence... and what little I was shown was amazing and gives me hope... I hope he sees your comment and takes you up on a conversation... ive been directing him towards listening to NDE's since before his surgery as I'm a nurse and understand what he was facing... PAUL, love you brother!!! PLEASE CONTACT THIS PERSON❤❤❤
@@Defundthemasons True, and to be honest I’d fear pain & suffering in his shoes, but I’ve had two close calls, and ultimately facing that, calm came over me, I was ok with whatever happened.
They told my Mom she wouldn’t last a year from her bladder cancer. She refused treatment and lived many years more before she died at 92….she did not die of cancer! Your body is always fighting the cancer…sometimes you beat the cancer. Stay positive!!!
@@ayasha89games66 No…the surgeon did remove out the cancerous growths from her bladder which were extensive….she was given 1 year to live if she refused treatment….which she did and 1 year later….the doctor told me my Mom made the right decision on refusing radiation and chemo….and she was not going to die from bladder cancer. Your immune system is always working to destroy the cancer cells….
Paul, that’s devastating news! I am hoping that there is something the doctors can do, even if it means ensuring you quality of life that you so much deserve. Your tears are raw and real, and it makes you truly human. Grieve well and live well. All the best energy in the universe sent your way for peace and love. You are much loved ❤
Please picture your fellow cancer warriors, all over the world, holding your hand and walking beside you - Focus on those people who make you feel loved - Create a routine that includes fun food, favorite hobbies etc. - You are loved by so many!!! Julie, from California 💕
Dear, dear Paul, my heart truly goes out to you. We are in parallel cancer journeys. Mine starting in ovaries, spreading throughout abdomen and peritoneal, ascites, plural effusion, pulmonary embolism, surgery and countless small cancerous nodules that are through out my abdomen, chest cavity and imbedded in my messentary tissue. I’ve had different treatments which quit working or put me in hospital or damaged my heart. I have been told my cancer is incurable and I also am terminal. Right now, I am giving my body a break from treatments, bc it’s not handling them well. So I am feeling better, but just like the last time I took a break, after a few months the cancer continues to grow and gets to a point that I can’t handle it. I don’t know what I want to do this time. I am with City of Hope and even though I feel they are as good as it gets I have lost so many friends I made there while having treatments together. People who did everything by the book. Some of them I feel died sooner and sicker from the treatments. I’ve come to the conclusion that for certain cancers advanced stages, there isn’t a cure, yet. Just a prolonging. I have no fear of dying and have accepted the fact I may be dead soon. BUT, the heartbreak is I have five beautiful children and five beautiful grandchildren that I’m not ready to say goodbye to and they for sure aren’t ready to let me go. I do know that when my time is near, I hope to die with dignity will medical assisted death. All we can do is live one day at a time and make informed decisions regarding our health. I try to make the best of what each new day gives me. Some days are better, some days very bad. You are in my thoughts, my heart is very heavy for all of us. With love.
@SeaTurtle515 I wish you only love, light and peace on your journey forward. My hope and prayer for you is that you have some time each day when you can get some enjoyment from your life. Your grandchildren will most certainly miss you and carry on your beautiful and spirited legacy. Thank you for sharing. No doubt you’ve helped others along the way.
My love goes to you as it sounds like you have and continue to endure so much. I am so deeply sorry that treatment hasn't been more successful in halting or curing this terrible disease. My love and prayers are with you. ❤❤🙏🤗Xxxx
Paul….. my sweet, sweet man! You are amazing! I have had Stage 4 ovarian cancer with no remissions for 12 years. I am weary but keep fighting. You are a world class example of humility and reality. You are a beacon for thousands of people like us! I wish for you peace and strength as you make your decisions. Hugs and love from Alaska…… Mary Cherry Cheesecake
I’m sorry to hear this terrible news Paul. But let’s wait and see what the PET scan shows. I actually was half expecting you to be well on the way to recovery but it seems I was wrong about that. I’d recommend taking the available treatment. I remember a guy once say “it’s not over till it’s over.” And this can be true. There’s always a chance of a miracle, even if it’s not a very big chance. Sending you lots of love
I am extremely grateful that we can access things like VAD. Giving people greater autonomy is extremely important and powerful. Even if it's not utilised having it as an option is so empowering! Much love from a fellow Perthian.
Paul, man I'm so grateful for your Mazda videos. I know this about a cancer update and I am truly sorry that this fate has befallen you. I've referenced your Mazda dash removal so many times and have appreciated every time I see you had a hard time just like I did. Also the rear brakes, you saved me from so much more cursing. I hope the videos let a part of you live on for friends, family, and Mazda fans like myself.
Jesus is the leading cause of death. Didn't god invent cancer? If god wanted couldn't he do away with cancer? Can't worship a careless god like this one😮
I am a patient at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse in Sydney I am disgusted that anyone would post negative comments You have my prayers and unconditional support
People can't help themselves sadly the side of humans including my so called family I've seen is disgraceful.. in saying that there is certainly more good than bad
@stillehavet4453 There is a noticeable difference between a negative comment and an opposing view. Anyone is capable of voicing an opposing view with compassion, so if a comment is negative, it is bc the opinion was expressed without it. One can have an opinion that is 100% in contrast, yet still voice it effectively and compassionately. Otherwise, the opinion isn't benefitting the world (or changing opinions). And in situations such as this, even kindly sharing an opposing view is usually wrong.
I'm sitting here ...68 years old...and healthy (for now...things can go south quickly at this age). I've been smoking for over 50 years...go figure. I've done everything wrong as far as lifestyle and so far have remained healthy. Following Paul's journey makes me realize how precious this life is and not to take ANYTHING for granted. Sending big hugs and prayers for strength through this overwhelming time.
You can’t consider yourself healthy when you’ve been a lifelong smoker. You gave done extensive damage to your body and statistically likely to die from lung cancer. You might want to consider stopping. Your luck will run out.
My dad passed away in august 2023. He chose to go to bed in his own home and stay there. His blood tests showed he had prostate cancer with extensive bone mets which he had probably had for years and had lived through this stage. He was nursed by myself and my sisters until he passed away 4 weeks after going to bed . Paul, my dad visited heaven a few days before he passed away on different occasions, and trust me when I say that my dad was not spiritual in the slightest. He said that it was beautiful and very peaceful and that he wanted to stay but couldn’t because my mum wasn’t there for him. This experience with my dad has completely changed my view . My dad was adamant where he was going and he described the feeling to his doctor when he visited him. Do not be scared . My thoughts are with you x
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing. My Nana had very advanced dementia and kept asking me at the resthome if I'd seen Eben. I thought she meant my brother who had never visited her and I wondered why noone told me. Eventually it made sense.... she said he was up in the trees on the bank and kept waving at her asking why she's taking so long. This happened more than once. Then I realised it was her first husband, my grandfather.... also called Eben. Deceased years earlier... he was waiting to collect her.
Just come across this video Paul. From conception to natural death, all life is precious. Praying for you brother, super super sorry to hear about your situation
I’m facing stage 4 cancer myself, and I want you to know that your courage, positivity, strength, and resilience are incredibly inspiring. You’re surrounded by love and support every step of the way. Keep fighting and stay true to the amazing person you are. Sending you love and positive energy.
Hi buddy. I am a 50 something year old man from Canada. Know that you’ve made a difference and there is someone here thinking about you and will for as long as I’m around. I don’t have the words as I’m sure you can understand and many kilometres separate us. Were it possible I’d like to see you and give you a hug. You will have an enduring legacy. Thank you for putting yourself out there. Much love from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, in 🇨🇦.
I am a medical professional. So I have seen cancer many times. Also worked with Death with Dignity. I really wish you don't have to go through this or anyone else for that matter. Sending Love your way. Remember you are still very much here ❤️ Greetings from Newport Oregon❤️
Thank you for choosing to be brave by sharing your journey with people around the globe. It really does make a difference to people in so many different ways. I'm a therapist and glean a lot of wisdom from your courageous journey. You are really a wonderful human being. I wish you peace and serenity on your journey, whatever you decide it will be. Lots of love and blessings sending from Ireland. 💚☘💚
This world becomes more disappointing to me as time goes on. How anyone could write any negative comments to such a nice person like you is beyond me. I'm so glad you have Caroline.
Been missing you, Paul. You are right to remove negative commenters and ban them. You don’t owe anyone an explanation! I am praying for your recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes. Delete all negative comments. It is your channel, your rules. I cannot understand youtube channels who leave negative comments up. They should be deleted, no questions asked. Totally agree. Praying for you Paul. Strength.
It blows my mind how anyone could be so heartless and cruel to leave vicious comments to someone who is battling illness. Shame on them and love to Paul x
Dear Paul, none of us have an expiration date stamped on us. We simply don’t know. When I lost my best friend who was my husband I thought of the miracle of time we were granted. It was all too short of course but each day was a gift. I didn’t lose hope until after his last breath. He never had any pain so that was a blessing too. Probably when the cancer went to the brain it cut sensory off. I wish you complete comfort. I hope for a miracle for you. I hope you do your favorite things as many times as you can. God bless you Paul.
It's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon here in southern England, and Paul, I am thinking of you. Several months ago I had no idea who you were, but your influence - however small - has changed my life for the better, and made me a wiser person in the way I interact with our world. You've done that. Can you know a stranger on the other side of the planet from a series of TH-cam videos? Well, so what if you can't, I feel like we all do - and we are lucky to know you. We aren't going anywhere, not a single one of us. We'll all be with you, marching on, and on, and on, and on.
If I were you, you know what i'd do? I'd go to that cockatoo park, go on a rafting trip, go exploring somewhere! Unless your feet hurt too awfully much... but still, I would go out as much as i physically could and enjoy this wonderful world (or just australia) today! Living in the day and moment would be good, rather than dwelling on health issues... which is fine if you want to of course, but going out and having fun will brighten you up, I'm sure of it! Love you! Love and Light sent your way!!
Just started listening but right off the bat….good for you for deleting negative commenters. There is no room in any ones life for negativity let alone dealing with cancer. You are a hero in my eyes 😘
Paul regarding negative comments you OWE NOONE your time or attention. Hell, I cannot imagine what would prompt someone to write negative comments on a video where a person is updating people with his cancer. If someone ever did that I see no good intention behind it. Please stay strong and much love! Nikola from Montenegro
I stumbled upon your channel a while ago and have been impressed by how you deal with this fate. You're already a role model to me. Should I ever get such devastating diagnose, I want to handle it with as much dignity as you do. Thanks for inspiring us and for all the good advice (e.g. making a will, keeping your crucial data in a safe). Sending lots of strength for what lies ahead. Regards from Germany
Mate, there are a lot of asshats on this planet, and you don't need one damn one of them in your life. I love the fact that you are cutting them off this channel. This channel is about love and support for you. Nothing less. Stay Aussie strong mate. Much love to you Paul.
Paul, let's wait and see what the pet scans show. It could be something that the doctors can cure with little discomfort but with amazing results for your future. Please don't think the end is near. Sending you love and only positive thoughts.
This world is a better place because of people like you. I have been following your journey now for several months and I cry along with you. You are with me in spirit and I am with you as far as your journey takes you. We love you Paul.
Paul, I went through your surgery with you in the fall. You’ve had a difficult road. I’m really saddened by this news. I wish you the best last months of your life surrounded by love and positivity. I will be watching and with you throughout the process.
Paul, there is nothing wrong about crying. I‘m crying right now. I did not expect these bad news, as your scan results were quite promising. Life is so mean and unfair sometimes. I‘ve been thinking about you constantly these last few weeks, hoping that you were doing o.k. 😢 Just the other day I damaged the driver‘s door of my Toyota Aygo and rewatched your video about paint codes. Until I found your channel I had never followed a TH-camr, but you made it into my heart… You give us so much. I wish I could help, but there is nothing I can do but sending as much love and care as I can As always ❤ Bettina/Germany
Prayers for you. I also have Peritoneal carcinoma and I also have nodules in my lungs AND a 2nd DVT in my legs. I was not a candidate for CRS/HIPEC. I’m really scared as I know you are. God be with you Paul❣️ Much Love from the state of Arkansas, USA❤
I also have appendix cancer and pmp. Also not a candidate for HIPEC. Been on pembrolizumab for a year with basically no adverse effects. When that topped working over to chemo and FOLFOX. Two week regimen where the first makes you really tired but the next is ok. When that stopped working they set me up on FOLFIRI so now i only have a couple of days in the 2-week cycle that is really ok. My wish is to move over to some new immune oncology drug. But they seems to be to distant. You feel that the development of new treatments does not move fast enough when you are on death row…
Paul, I’m in Houston and have been following your journey. I love you so much! ❤ I wish we could have met and had some beer or wine from time to time. You are an amazing person in so many ways. I have prayed for you and will keep praying for you. I am Christian and recently became Catholic and what I know is this: the love of God is an infinite ocean. He loves you. So many of us love you. For every one comment posted, I bet there are 10 lurkers who love you too. That’s it. I just wanted to raise my hand as one of those hundreds of silent lurkers.
Paul, I am going to be praying for you every day. I cannot imagine anyone leaving negative comments and hope you know we care for you and will continue with you on your journey. Never feel that you are alone as so many people around the world care for you. Hang in there!!!
Paul. I'm so very sorrowful to hear this! Please know that, if it's okay with you, I'll keep you in my mind, in a bubble surrounded by light, by peace and serenity and love! Right now, it's a period of shock, I imagine, for you. Yet that will change, to were you'll feel super peaceful. At this time though, you must cry. Cry all you need to cry! Shout all you need to shout! And if it's okay with you, your supporters and special loving friends, will catch you and be with you, all the way and as long as you want/need! 🫂✨🙏🏼✨🫂🤗 With you in thought and in spirit, sweet Paul! From here, in Central Texas, love, Anne-Marie🌵🪻🌵🙋🏻♀️
It’s hard to wait, I know - I have 3 kinds of cancer - We fellow cancer patients are pulling for you! I’ll be praying for you! You are not alone - Love from the States, Julie from California 💕
Paul I'm so sorry to hear of this news. I think you're fortunate to live in a place that offers voluntary euthanasia. I'm in Kentucky and we don't have that here. I really hope that the PET scan gives you better news than expected. Wishing you the best!
As much as it breaks me, I'm glad to see you cry as weird as that sounds... Can't get past the pain without sitting in it. Hate to see those numbers! It has been a joy walking with you on this most difficult journey.
Thanks Paul for coming in and updating us. I hope that when my time comes I can go peacefully and not fighting. I hope you can find peace too. Sending you peace and love.
I’m so glad you have Caroline in your life. We can all channel out love for you through her. The world wouldn’t be so bad if we all had a Caroline in our lives. Thinking of you Paul ❤
I'm so sorry to hear this news! You've been so brave and a true fighter. I don't blame you for going for a more comfortable life. A lot of cancer patients are taking the same path.
Paul, you are an incredible person. It has been such an honor to get to know you through your channel. As a terminal 35 year old, your outlook and strength has helped me tremendously. All the love from the USA. ❤
I'm glad I was able to help. I hope that your world is full of friends and love. Come say hi to me on the other side. You'll need to come to me though, because I don't know what you look like! Paul.
You've touched the lives of a lot of strangers, Paul, and we care about you! I deeply hope things turn around because someone as obviously decent as you deserves many more years, but to paraphrase something you said in one of early post-diagnosis videos: if the afterlife consists of the impact we have on others through the memories they have of us and the lessons we pass on, your legacy will ripple far and wide into the future. Thanks to this TH-cam channel and its ability to convey the beautiful person that you are, you've ensured a level of immortality for yourself. You've affected me deeply and I will remember you for the rest of my life!
What a powerful video. You are a good man and we appreciate you documenting this for us. None of us know exactly what's in store, but you must enjoy every day, even if that means rest and self care. Thank you Paul. ❤
♥♥♥ People in society today are simply spiritually corrupt, so sorry Paul....I visited Francine today because of your generous heart dear Gentle Warrior......
Paul, i rarely comment here but i felt led to. Good for you for deleting negative comments. I wish more people would follow your idea instead of complaining about those comments and leaving them up. I worked on an oncology floor and bless you. I hope your medical team can keep you comfortable and I wish you could sleep. I believe in God and I’m going to keep you in my prayers. Sending love and gentle hugs
I’m from the uk and Iv followed your journey since last summer. Stay strong Paul ❤️❤️❤️ sharing this on TH-cam is a really powerful thing to do ❤️❤️ Sending our love ❤️
Paul, I have not commented for ages but how utterly horrendous and twisted someone would be negative. So awful to hear of your situation. Here if need someone to chat with. *hugs*
I'm not easily shocked at my advanced age, but the idea that anyone would deliberately hurt you -- you, of all people -- enrages me. Love, good thoughts, and prayers from L.A.
Oh, dearest Paul..dearest, dearest Paul.💓 My heart is broken this morning.. I cannot fathom the pain of this for you. Please know that you are prayed for with love from around the world, including my tiny corner of NY. If I could have a super power, it would be to cure cancer. XXOXOO🙏🏻 ~Mary
❤ Paul, I will always be with you along your journey and please.Know that you have given much much more than a list for people to go by. You have given so much of yourself your experiences.Your thoughts, your energies?And I applaud you for that. I'm one of your mates from the U.S and i'm glad that carolyn is with you. Cheers Mary❤
I can't imagine, anyone being negative, they have no right, and they are not in your shoes.. I'm so sorry about your news... Paul, you have been so brave, through your illness, and I understand what you feel, and it's gotta be scary to make that choice, but it's your life❤. Nobody should suffer. You cry all you need ,it cleans the soul I believe... Much love, Paul from NV. You have my support. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thinking of you Paul. Never feel you have to explain your reaction to the challenges you are facing. They are your feelings and you are entitled to them.
Much love to you, Paul. I’m not terminal but I’m living with an extremely debilitating condition. I know how hard life can be. However much time you have left, I hope you find as much joy as possible. You should be proud of the legacy you’ll be leaving here.
Paul, you’re one of the strongest people Ive seen in TH-cam. Showing your experience to the world to help others. Sharing the bad news without blaming anyone, and sharing your feelings. I admire you. You deserve the best.
I'm new here mate but just wanted to say, I've watched 2 videos and can tell you're a strong caring huge hearted man and I am devastated for you. you do not deserve this. I pray that for what ever reason you get better. I'm really sorry you're going through this mate.
Thank you for sharing your cancer journey with your followers. Watching your 114th update was the first time I came upon your channel and learned you are at that unavoidable fork in the road. It is satisfying to know you have a lot of support from family, friends and followers. Surely you have received suggestions on how to live out your life, yet ultimately It is your decision (bucket lists are often mentioned). The first time I heard of someone having a living funeral for the purpose of being fully there with all her family and friends, reminiscing over past experiences, fun times, and learn about how others see her. the statements were "how her character is" not "how she was." But of course I am making suggestions, so I should shut up and send you warm hugs and wishing you comfort and peace in your life ahead. 🤗😘
I'm wishing you all the best. I started watching you as your video was a recommendation from watching Jenny Apple. I have Stage 4 cancer too. Good for you deleting the negative comments. Not need for them.
@@graniabenge2814 aww thank you! They forgot to book my follow up appointment, and when I chased them up I got one for 13th May. 😭 thats more than a month waiting, it’s all a waiting game and it stinks if you ask me 🤣❤️
Paul I will continue to pray for you. You have been a great inspiration for me as my hubby is battling cancer. I know that whatever you do is the right thing for you . Crying for me is healing and releases my hurt! I am so sad to hear this news. You have been through a lot. Also still trying to heal from surgery. I pray for your tears to lesson for you as that is what you want. You are a wonderful soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Much love from the US!
Hi Paul I truly feel for you . So sorry to hear your bad news just when I thought things were improving for you. It ok to be emotional you are such a caring lovely person We all go through different emotions and following your cancer journey is very emotional to watch. Sorry to hear that you are not sleeping and can only imagine how hard it must be for you each day . Stay strong and keep fighting thinking of you and best wishes Michelle From Victoria ❤❤
Oh Paul, I hope that your grief lifts slightly so that you can have some happy times. Please don’t consider VAD too early. My mother passed 18 months ago of Pancreatic cancer. 7 weeks after diagnosis it was all over. However in that time , all her 4 adult children moved back home to nurse her, we had happy hour, talked, invited our pets on her bed, we sang to her. The moments of joy she had balanced the passing feelings of grief and dispair. She died in her own home, in her gorgeous bedroom and she had all her children there. Her job was done and we have no regrets on how we handled the last days. Love and strength to you, and I hope you can find joy in the smallest things… as that is what life is really about. Snippets of joy. 💕💕
I would rather see you cry than stuff it all in. You do not need to apologize to any of us. It’s the beauty of being human. I’d cry with you if I were there!
So sorry to see this video Paul. I'm in Toronto and yesterday we had a total solar eclipse. Unfortunately it was overcast and I was a bit casual about the whole thing to begin with because I'm 61 and I've lived through a couple of eclipses already (otherwise I might have driven a few hours into better weather). But there was a very brief break in the cloud cover and so I grabbed my eclipse glasses and just managed to catch a glimpse of the sun, which was about 1/5 eclipsed, for maybe 10 seconds. And I realized that even though I have been alive for previous eclipses, I never actually looked at one directly before because I never had proper glasses. So I had seen pictures or video or watched them indirectly on a piece of cardboard. And I have to tell you - those 10 seconds were (literally) AWESOME. I'm not religious but I am in awe of the world and I really believe that we are so arrogant to think that science can make sense of it all. I wish you the very best on your journey, wherever it may take you. And if you've lived so far in relative peace, good health, a bit of comfort and with people in your life who love you, then you have have been more fortunate than millions and millions and millions of people.
Paul, praying that you can come to a decision about your life/end of life that brings you peace. Whatever you decide, I hope you know how much knowledge & joy you have passed on to others. Your videos have been a gift to many. ❤
Paul I'm so happy to hear from you! I have been very concerned. I am a Nurse in Canada and MAID is something I truly believe in. It's ok to be tearful, and we are here for you! I cannot understand why comments have been cruel and negative. Hurt people hurt people is what people say, but I don't know how anyone could subject you to that!? You are loved and supported! ❤ You are remarkable, in the way that even at the point you are at in life, you are still concerned about leaving a legacy of learning through your experiences! The world needs more you!!
You took the words right out of my mouth with your comment. I just can’t even begin to understand negative comments, Paul is so courageous. Paul thank you for your update. You wish to not cry anymore . I cried right with you. What I aspire to be is as strong as you are under such difficult circumstances. Kudos to you. You are OUR hero and we love you.
❤
Beautifully said❤.... agree!! Paul please cry if you must,tears are so healing,never change. Much love & strength to you friend. We are standing right beside you in whatever you choose ❤.
@@jeanroth159Why did you post your comment 7 times? Just curious. Still loved your comment though. (-;

Hi Paul, just wanted you to know that as an NHS doctor who has followed your journey for a year or so, you’ve taught me so much about how I can be a better supporter and advocate for my patients experiencing similar journeys. Thank you for your humility and openness in such hard times, you have a much bigger impact than you know
A good doctor hears their patients. An excellent doctor listens to their patients.
Your comment is very touching. Your patients are lucky to have you. 💕
It’s a good thing Paul isn’t with the NHS cos I wouldn’t trust them to get anything done with their poor service and long waiting lists
@@cultfiction3865The NHS are brilliant im proud to be british and have the NHS
Gidday, Paul: I'm an expat Kiwi, now living in California. For a big part of my career in health-care, I worked in Oncology and Palliative Medicine. All of my patients were the sweetest people on the planet!. I lost my dad to cancer, when I was 16. I'm sending you all the support that I can from across the miles. I wish you clarity and peace during this uncertain season of your life. Whether you know it, or not, you are likely touching the journeys and hearts of more people than you realize. This world is all the more richer and wiser, for you being here.
I dont know why people bother commenting negative things. You don't need it, no one does. Sending love from nsw
It's normally to invoke a reaction from people / trolling and ignoring them is the correct thing to do.
i don’t understand why people take time out of their day to comment stuff like that
@@babebee999 people can be completely heartless and enjoy bullying. They want attention…. Doesn’t matter what we would say to them.
Because they don't have enough to do. They need to get a job or a hobby.
Agreed!
I’m currently supporting my husband through hospice , in his last 6 months as well. He too choose quality over quantity after 10 years of fighting various cancer reoccurrences. Unfortunately we are in a place where the assistant death isn’t available, so we are letting nature take its coarse.
We’ve gone through the anger, the crying, the humor . Now just enjoying every day he wakes up. Going on a three week cruise in 12 days to Europe. He has decided to just take it a day at a time. He says he will keep living until he isn’t anymore. He is going to be 84 in 12 days so he’s lived a rather full life.
I'll pray for you guys
He shouldn't be gay and more stoic imho

Between your tears and smile, I can tell you are a very kind, sweet, and gentle man. Think of what a gift you have been to others,and that gift never dies! Hugs from LA.
it might be bad news, but the world has undoubtedly been made a better place because of kind and compassionate people like paul.
NDE person here if you ever need to talk. I have stage 3 colon cancer. My near death experience from a botched surgery was the best gift because I understand where I’ll end up now. It’s very peaceful and the love you’ll encounter is unlike anything on earth. Rest easy Paul. This is all out of our hands. There is a GOD and you’ll be blessed, no matter what. Trust.
I love people like you... GOD BLESS YOU. ive been blessed to be a very limited experiencer of OTHER'S transitions from living to the spirit existence... and what little I was shown was amazing and gives me hope... I hope he sees your comment and takes you up on a conversation... ive been directing him towards listening to NDE's since before his surgery as I'm a nurse and understand what he was facing... PAUL, love you brother!!! PLEASE CONTACT THIS PERSON❤❤❤
I’m one too. Nice to see you here. He doesn’t seem to want to embrace this, but I’d certainly tell him about it too. There’s nothing to fear.
You are in my prayers as well.
@@Defundthemasons True, and to be honest I’d fear pain & suffering in his shoes, but I’ve had two close calls, and ultimately facing that, calm came over me, I was ok with whatever happened.
❤sorry to hear things are not going well. Paul...we are all better people from you sharing your journey with us ....prayers heading your way ....
Miracles can happen Paul, I am praying for one to happen to me, and to you 🙏
They told my Mom she wouldn’t last a year from her bladder cancer. She refused treatment and lived many years more before she died at 92….she did not die of cancer!
Your body is always fighting the cancer…sometimes you beat the cancer.
Stay positive!!!
Was it possibly a misdiagnosis?
Magical Thinking does not work.
Wow!
@@ayasha89games66 No…the surgeon did remove out the cancerous growths from her bladder which were extensive….she was given 1 year to live if she refused treatment….which she did
and 1 year later….the doctor told me my Mom made the right decision on refusing radiation and chemo….and she was not going to die from bladder cancer.
Your immune system is always working to destroy the cancer cells….
hello madam, may i ask what you mom did after sugery, did she change her diet, exercise more or nothing change
Paul, that’s devastating news! I am hoping that there is something the doctors can do, even if it means ensuring you quality of life that you so much deserve. Your tears are raw and real, and it makes you truly human. Grieve well and live well. All the best energy in the universe sent your way for peace and love. You are much loved ❤
Please picture your fellow cancer warriors, all over the world, holding your hand and walking beside you - Focus on those people who make you feel loved - Create a routine that includes fun food, favorite hobbies etc. - You are loved by so many!!! Julie, from California 💕
Dear, dear Paul, my heart truly goes out to you. We are in parallel cancer journeys. Mine starting in ovaries, spreading throughout abdomen and peritoneal, ascites, plural effusion, pulmonary embolism, surgery and countless small cancerous nodules that are through out my abdomen, chest cavity and imbedded in my messentary tissue. I’ve had different treatments which quit working or put me in hospital or damaged my heart. I have been told my cancer is incurable and I also am terminal. Right now, I am giving my body a break from treatments, bc it’s not handling them well. So I am feeling better, but just like the last time I took a break, after a few months the cancer continues to grow and gets to a point that I can’t handle it. I don’t know what I want to do this time. I am with City of Hope and even though I feel they are as good as it gets I have lost so many friends I made there while having treatments together. People who did everything by the book. Some of them I feel died sooner and sicker from the treatments. I’ve come to the conclusion that for certain cancers advanced stages, there isn’t a cure, yet. Just a prolonging. I have no fear of dying and have accepted the fact I may be dead soon. BUT, the heartbreak is I have five beautiful children and five beautiful grandchildren that I’m not ready to say goodbye to and they for sure aren’t ready to let me go. I do know that when my time is near, I hope to die with dignity will medical assisted death. All we can do is live one day at a time and make informed decisions regarding our health. I try to make the best of what each new day gives me. Some days are better, some days very bad. You are in my thoughts, my heart is very heavy for all of us. With love.
Beautiful words you said ❤️ 😊
@SeaTurtle515 I wish you only love, light and peace on your journey forward. My hope and prayer for you is that you have some time each day when you can get some enjoyment from your life. Your grandchildren will most certainly miss you and carry on your beautiful and spirited legacy. Thank you for sharing. No doubt you’ve helped others along the way.
@@shawnconnors596 Thank you for your lovely and uplifting words, they brought tears to my eyes.
Best wishes SeaTurtle. My heart is heavy too. Enjoy here while you can, and I'll see you on the other side. Paul.
My love goes to you as it sounds like you have and continue to endure so much. I am so deeply sorry that treatment hasn't been more successful in halting or curing this terrible disease. My love and prayers are with you. ❤❤🙏🤗Xxxx
Paul….. my sweet, sweet man! You are amazing! I have had Stage 4 ovarian cancer with no remissions for 12 years. I am weary but keep fighting. You are a world class example of humility and reality. You are a beacon for thousands of people like us! I wish for you peace and strength as you make your decisions. Hugs and love from Alaska…… Mary Cherry Cheesecake
I’m sorry to hear this terrible news Paul. But let’s wait and see what the PET scan shows. I actually was half expecting you to be well on the way to recovery but it seems I was wrong about that. I’d recommend taking the available treatment. I remember a guy once say “it’s not over till it’s over.” And this can be true. There’s always a chance of a miracle, even if it’s not a very big chance. Sending you lots of love
I am extremely grateful that we can access things like VAD. Giving people greater autonomy is extremely important and powerful. Even if it's not utilised having it as an option is so empowering! Much love from a fellow Perthian.
Hang in there, brother... we love you!
❤❤
Paul, man I'm so grateful for your Mazda videos. I know this about a cancer update and I am truly sorry that this fate has befallen you.
I've referenced your Mazda dash removal so many times and have appreciated every time I see you had a hard time just like I did. Also the rear brakes, you saved me from so much more cursing.
I hope the videos let a part of you live on for friends, family, and Mazda fans like myself.
I am really praying for you Paul. There is hope in Jesus.
Jesus is the leading cause of death. Didn't god invent cancer? If god wanted couldn't he do away with cancer? Can't worship a careless god like this one😮
Don't let the jerks win! So many supportive people here. Ignore the jerks-they don't matter. Prayers for you Paul
I am a patient at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse in Sydney
I am disgusted that anyone would post negative comments
You have my prayers and unconditional support
I am disgusted as well . They should be ashamed of themselves for writing such horrible things. Sending you a virtual hug from 🇬🇧❤
What is a negative comment or What is a positive comment? The world is full of different opinions and views.
People can't help themselves sadly the side of humans including my so called family I've seen is disgraceful.. in saying that there is certainly more good than bad
@stillehavet4453 There is a noticeable difference between a negative comment and an opposing view. Anyone is capable of voicing an opposing view with compassion, so if a comment is negative, it is bc the opinion was expressed without it.
One can have an opinion that is 100% in contrast, yet still voice it effectively and compassionately. Otherwise, the opinion isn't benefitting the world (or changing opinions).
And in situations such as this, even kindly sharing an opposing view is usually wrong.
@@jessicawilson2772 Agree 💯👍
I'm sitting here ...68 years old...and healthy (for now...things can go south quickly at this age). I've been smoking for over 50 years...go figure. I've done everything wrong as far as lifestyle and so far have remained healthy. Following Paul's journey makes me realize how precious this life is and not to take ANYTHING for granted. Sending big hugs and prayers for strength through this overwhelming time.
You can’t consider yourself healthy when you’ve been a lifelong smoker. You gave done extensive damage to your body and statistically likely to die from lung cancer. You might want to consider stopping. Your luck will run out.
My dad passed away in august 2023. He chose to go to bed in his own home and stay there. His blood tests showed he had prostate cancer with extensive bone mets which he had probably had for years and had lived through this stage. He was nursed by myself and my sisters until he passed away 4 weeks after going to bed . Paul, my dad visited heaven a few days before he passed away on different occasions, and trust me when I say that my dad was not spiritual in the slightest. He said that it was beautiful and very peaceful and that he wanted to stay but couldn’t because my mum wasn’t there for him. This experience with my dad has completely changed my view . My dad was adamant where he was going and he described the feeling to his doctor when he visited him. Do not be scared . My thoughts are with you x
Paul sending you positive energy and prayers from Fl🥰😘💔🌴🦩🙏🙏🙏🙏Hugs Donna
Prayer Paul.
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
My Nana had very advanced dementia and kept asking me at the resthome if I'd seen Eben. I thought she meant my brother who had never visited her and I wondered why noone told me. Eventually it made sense.... she said he was up in the trees on the bank and kept waving at her asking why she's taking so long. This happened more than once.
Then I realised it was her first husband, my grandfather.... also called Eben. Deceased years earlier... he was waiting to collect her.
I am praying for you Paul. My hubby has been fighting cancer for 6 years now. Advanced stages multiple myeloma stage 3 :(.
I am sorry for your loss Tracey
What kind of horrible people would leave negative comments?! Get rid of them. Everyone else is holding you in their love and light.
He shouldn't be gay and more stoic imho
@@fightingforcatalonia You are obviously a very sad person. 🥺
Just come across this video Paul.
From conception to natural death, all life is precious.
Praying for you brother, super super sorry to hear about your situation
I’m facing stage 4 cancer myself, and I want you to know that your courage, positivity, strength, and resilience are incredibly inspiring. You’re surrounded by love and support every step of the way. Keep fighting and stay true to the amazing person you are.
Sending you love and positive energy.
Hi buddy. I am a 50 something year old man from Canada. Know that you’ve made a difference and there is someone here thinking about you and will for as long as I’m around. I don’t have the words as I’m sure you can understand and many kilometres separate us. Were it possible I’d like to see you and give you a hug. You will have an enduring legacy. Thank you for putting yourself out there. Much love from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, in 🇨🇦.
I am a medical professional. So I have seen cancer many times. Also worked with Death with Dignity. I really wish you don't have to go through this or anyone else for that matter. Sending Love your way. Remember you are still very much here ❤️ Greetings from Newport Oregon❤️
Thank you for choosing to be brave by sharing your journey with people around the globe. It really does make a difference to people in so many different ways. I'm a therapist and glean a lot of wisdom from your courageous journey. You are really a wonderful human being. I wish you peace and serenity on your journey, whatever you decide it will be. Lots of love and blessings sending from Ireland. 💚☘💚
Thank you so much. Sometimes I doubt myself, but messages like yours help me keep going. Paul.
We are with you Paul. You are a gift to the world. You are so very loved. 🌷
Good work ignoring the idiots mate, it's not worth anyone's time. You can't fix stupid.
This world becomes more disappointing to me as time goes on. How anyone could write any negative comments to such a nice person like you is beyond me. I'm so glad you have Caroline.
Been missing you, Paul. You are right to remove negative commenters and ban them. You don’t owe anyone an explanation! I am praying for your recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Agree 👍💯
Agree 💯 percent! ❤
YEP
Yes. Delete all negative comments. It is your channel, your rules. I cannot understand youtube channels who leave negative comments up. They should be deleted, no questions asked. Totally agree.
Praying for you Paul. Strength.
Everyone's definition of negative is different.
But I can understand when someone's sick they don't want to deal with any negativity.
It blows my mind how anyone could be so heartless and cruel to leave vicious comments to someone who is battling illness. Shame on them and love to Paul x
Dear Paul, none of us have an expiration date stamped on us. We simply don’t know. When I lost my best friend who was my husband I thought of the miracle of time we were granted. It was all too short of course but each day was a gift. I didn’t lose hope until after his last breath. He never had any pain so that was a blessing too. Probably when the cancer went to the brain it cut sensory off. I wish you complete comfort. I hope for a miracle for you. I hope you do your favorite things as many times as you can. God bless you Paul.
It's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon here in southern England, and Paul, I am thinking of you. Several months ago I had no idea who you were, but your influence - however small - has changed my life for the better, and made me a wiser person in the way I interact with our world. You've done that. Can you know a stranger on the other side of the planet from a series of TH-cam videos? Well, so what if you can't, I feel like we all do - and we are lucky to know you. We aren't going anywhere, not a single one of us. We'll all be with you, marching on, and on, and on, and on.
Cancer is such a cruel disease .. this news is heartbreaking especially after the hope you had after the surgery. Prayers from the United States. 🥺🫶🏻
If I were you, you know what i'd do? I'd go to that cockatoo park, go on a rafting trip, go exploring somewhere! Unless your feet hurt too awfully much... but still, I would go out as much as i physically could and enjoy this wonderful world (or just australia) today! Living in the day and moment would be good, rather than dwelling on health issues... which is fine if you want to of course, but going out and having fun will brighten you up, I'm sure of it! Love you! Love and Light sent your way!!
Me too. We get attached to this beautiful place, but it could be a giant adventure. Peace be with you. ❤
Just started listening but right off the bat….good for you for deleting negative commenters. There is no room in any ones life for negativity let alone dealing with cancer. You are a hero in my eyes 😘
Will continue to pray for total healing. No one says it's over except the Lord. ❤
Untrue, voluntary assistance dying means the person with the terminal diagnosis decides. Their life, their choice.
Paul regarding negative comments you OWE NOONE your time or attention. Hell, I cannot imagine what would prompt someone to write negative comments on a video where a person is updating people with his cancer. If someone ever did that I see no good intention behind it.
Please stay strong and much love!
Nikola from Montenegro
I stumbled upon your channel a while ago and have been impressed by how you deal with this fate. You're already a role model to me. Should I ever get such devastating diagnose, I want to handle it with as much dignity as you do. Thanks for inspiring us and for all the good advice (e.g. making a will, keeping your crucial data in a safe). Sending lots of strength for what lies ahead. Regards from Germany
He's pretty awesome 💯

Commenting to show support. Well wishes from the USA.
Mate, there are a lot of asshats on this planet, and you don't need one damn one of them in your life. I love the fact that you are cutting them off this channel. This channel is about love and support for you. Nothing less. Stay Aussie strong mate. Much love to you Paul.
Paul, let's wait and see what the pet scans show. It could be something that the doctors can cure with little discomfort but with amazing results for your future. Please don't think the end is near. Sending you love and only positive thoughts.
This world is a better place because of people like you. I have been following your journey now for several months and I cry along with you. You are with me in spirit and I am with you as far as your journey takes you. We love you Paul.
I’m so sorry, Paul ❤️🇨🇦
Paul, I went through your surgery with you in the fall. You’ve had a difficult road. I’m really saddened by this news. I wish you the best last months of your life surrounded by love and positivity. I will be watching and with you throughout the process.
I have great respect for you - you are a very brave man. Only my best wishes go out to you.
Paul, there is nothing wrong about crying. I‘m crying right now. I did not expect these bad news, as your scan results were quite promising. Life is so mean and unfair sometimes.
I‘ve been thinking about you constantly these last few weeks, hoping that you were doing o.k. 😢
Just the other day I damaged the driver‘s door of my Toyota Aygo and rewatched your video about paint codes.
Until I found your channel I had never followed a TH-camr, but you made it into my heart…
You give us so much.
I wish I could help, but there is nothing I can do but sending as much love and care as I can
As always ❤

Prayers for you. I also have Peritoneal carcinoma and I also have nodules in my lungs AND a 2nd DVT in my legs. I was not a candidate for CRS/HIPEC. I’m really scared as I know you are. God be with you Paul❣️ Much Love from the state of Arkansas, USA❤
I also have appendix cancer and pmp. Also not a candidate for HIPEC. Been on pembrolizumab for a year with basically no adverse effects. When that topped working over to chemo and FOLFOX. Two week regimen where the first makes you really tired but the next is ok. When that stopped working they set me up on FOLFIRI so now i only have a couple of days in the 2-week cycle that is really ok. My wish is to move over to some new immune oncology drug. But they seems to be to distant. You feel that the development of new treatments does not move fast enough when you are on death row…
Prayers for you too, Fonda ❤
Prayers and love to you as well!
🙏🙏
Paul, I’m in Houston and have been following your journey. I love you so much! ❤ I wish we could have met and had some beer or wine from time to time. You are an amazing person in so many ways. I have prayed for you and will keep praying for you. I am Christian and recently became Catholic and what I know is this: the love of God is an infinite ocean. He loves you. So many of us love you. For every one comment posted, I bet there are 10 lurkers who love you too. That’s it. I just wanted to raise my hand as one of those hundreds of silent lurkers.
Thank you. Paul.
Dear Paul, you have created a wonderful legacy. We shall wrap our arms around you with support and love. Always sending love and strength and prayers.
Paul, I am going to be praying for you every day. I cannot imagine anyone leaving negative comments and hope you know we care for you and will continue with you on your journey. Never feel that you are alone as so many people around the world care for you. Hang in there!!!
Count me as your newest supporter, Paul. I care about you and what you're going through. I'm in your corner. ❤ -Honna
Dear Paul, I wish you Nothing but the best. You are such a beautiful soul..... I still hope for a miracle. ❤ Best wishes from Austria!
Paul. I'm so very sorrowful to hear this! Please know that, if it's okay with you, I'll keep you in my mind, in a bubble surrounded by light, by peace and serenity and love! Right now, it's a period of shock, I imagine, for you. Yet that will change, to were you'll feel super peaceful. At this time though, you must cry. Cry all you need to cry! Shout all you need to shout! And if it's okay with you, your supporters and special loving friends, will catch you and be with you, all the way and as long as you want/need!
🫂✨🙏🏼✨🫂🤗
With you in thought and in spirit, sweet Paul! From here, in Central Texas,

Sorry I haven’t been on U tube and have missed you. I am praying really hard for God to bless you and help you through this difficult time.
It’s hard to wait, I know - I have 3 kinds of cancer - We fellow cancer patients are pulling for you! I’ll be praying for you! You are not alone - Love from the States, Julie from California 💕
Paul I'm so sorry to hear of this news. I think you're fortunate to live in a place that offers voluntary euthanasia. I'm in Kentucky and we don't have that here. I really hope that the PET scan gives you better news than expected. Wishing you the best!
Paul, I'm so sorry to learn of this. I am rooting for you. You beat it once - you can do it again! ❤❤❤
You deserve ALL POSITIVE comments. Praying for you Paul. You are in my thoughts 🫶🙏🏻
As much as it breaks me, I'm glad to see you cry as weird as that sounds... Can't get past the pain without sitting in it. Hate to see those numbers! It has been a joy walking with you on this most difficult journey.
Love to you Paul. So brave yet tender. I feel like crying is a release. We on here ALL love you.
Thanks Paul for coming in and updating us. I hope that when my time comes I can go peacefully and not fighting. I hope you can find peace too. Sending you peace and love.
I’m so glad you have Caroline in your life. We can all channel out love for you through her. The world wouldn’t be so bad if we all had a Caroline in our lives. Thinking of you Paul ❤
I'm so sorry to hear this news! You've been so brave and a true fighter. I don't blame you for going for a more comfortable life. A lot of cancer patients are taking the same path.
Paul, you are an incredible person. It has been such an honor to get to know you through your channel. As a terminal 35 year old, your outlook and strength has helped me tremendously. All the love from the USA. ❤
I'm glad I was able to help. I hope that your world is full of friends and love.
Come say hi to me on the other side. You'll need to come to me though, because I don't know what you look like!
Paul.
Hi Paul you are a lovely man. I will pray for you all my love .Ireland ❤
You've touched the lives of a lot of strangers, Paul, and we care about you! I deeply hope things turn around because someone as obviously decent as you deserves many more years, but to paraphrase something you said in one of early post-diagnosis videos: if the afterlife consists of the impact we have on others through the memories they have of us and the lessons we pass on, your legacy will ripple far and wide into the future. Thanks to this TH-cam channel and its ability to convey the beautiful person that you are, you've ensured a level of immortality for yourself. You've affected me deeply and I will remember you for the rest of my life!
Hi Len, thank you for reminding me of that. I needed to hear it. BTW, my father's name was Leonard, but everyone called him Len. Great name. Paul.
@@PaulinPerth No problem, and thanks! Odd coincidence because my father's name was Paul!
What a powerful video. You are a good man and we appreciate you documenting this for us. None of us know exactly what's in store, but you must enjoy every day, even if that means rest and self care. Thank you Paul. ❤
i am so sorry you are going through this. you are a light amongst so much darkness these days.
♥♥♥
People in society today are simply spiritually corrupt, so sorry Paul....I visited Francine today because of your generous heart dear Gentle Warrior......
Paul, i rarely comment here but i felt led to. Good for you for deleting negative comments. I wish more people would follow your idea instead of complaining about those comments and leaving them up. I worked on an oncology floor and bless you. I hope your medical team can keep you comfortable and I wish you could sleep. I believe in God and I’m going to keep you in my prayers. Sending love and gentle hugs
We got your six Paul. Nobody walks alone. You take a step, we take a step with you.
I’m from the uk and Iv followed your journey since last summer. Stay strong Paul ❤️❤️❤️ sharing this on TH-cam is a really powerful thing to do ❤️❤️ Sending our love ❤️
God Bless, you Paul. Prayers and good vibes sent your way. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Forgot to tell you I'm praying for you to have strenght through you upcoming testing. 🙏 ❤
Paul, I have not commented for ages but how utterly horrendous and twisted someone would be negative. So awful to hear of your situation. Here if need someone to chat with. *hugs*
I'm not easily shocked at my advanced age, but the idea that anyone would deliberately hurt you -- you, of all people -- enrages me. Love, good thoughts, and prayers from L.A.
Oh, dearest Paul..dearest, dearest Paul.💓 My heart is broken this morning.. I cannot fathom the pain of this for you. Please know that you are prayed for with love from around the world, including my tiny corner of NY. If I could have a super power, it would be to cure cancer. XXOXOO🙏🏻 ~Mary
Your life, you deal with this how you feel is the best option.Life-is for living and not how long we have. Keep living Paul🙏😘
❤ Paul, I will always be with you along your journey and please.Know that you have given much much more than a list for people to go by. You have given so much of yourself your experiences.Your thoughts, your energies?And I applaud you for that. I'm one of your mates from the U.S and i'm glad that carolyn is with you. Cheers Mary❤
Paul you are such a wonderful, brave man. Tears are okay. It shows our humanity. Only love and positive thoughts are being sent your way❤
I can't imagine, anyone being negative, they have no right, and they are not in your shoes.. I'm so sorry about your news... Paul, you have been so brave, through your illness, and I understand what you feel, and it's gotta be scary to make that choice, but it's your life❤. Nobody should suffer. You cry all you need ,it cleans the soul I believe... Much love, Paul from NV. You have my support. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thinking of you Paul. Never feel you have to explain your reaction to the challenges you are facing. They are your feelings and you are entitled to them.
Much love to you, Paul. I’m not terminal but I’m living with an extremely debilitating condition. I know how hard life can be. However much time you have left, I hope you find as much joy as possible. You should be proud of the legacy you’ll be leaving here.
I’m sorry to hear that Paul.. 😕Wishing you loads of strength! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Paul, you’re one of the strongest people Ive seen in TH-cam. Showing your experience to the world to help others. Sharing the bad news without blaming anyone, and sharing your feelings. I admire you. You deserve the best.
I'm new here mate but just wanted to say, I've watched 2 videos and can tell you're a strong caring huge hearted man and I am devastated for you. you do not deserve this. I pray that for what ever reason you get better. I'm really sorry you're going through this mate.
Thank you for sharing your cancer journey with your followers. Watching your 114th update was the first time I came upon your channel and learned you are at that unavoidable fork in the road. It is satisfying to know you have a lot of support from family, friends and followers. Surely you have received suggestions on how to live out your life, yet ultimately It is your decision (bucket lists are often mentioned). The first time I heard of someone having a living funeral for the purpose of being fully there with all her family and friends, reminiscing over past experiences, fun times, and learn about how others see her. the statements were "how her character is" not "how she was." But of course I am making suggestions, so I should shut up and send you warm hugs and wishing you comfort and peace in your life ahead. 🤗😘
I'm wishing you all the best. I started watching you as your video was a recommendation from watching Jenny Apple. I have Stage 4 cancer too. Good for you deleting the negative comments. Not need for them.
Thank you Donna. Good luck with your journey. Paul.
My heart is broken. I am so sorry Paul. 💔 When I go in for my cancer scans tomorrow I will be thinking of you.
I wish you the very best for your health ❣️
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and especially while you wait for your scan results.

Paul I will continue to pray for you. You have been a great inspiration for me as my hubby is battling cancer. I know that whatever you do is the right thing for you . Crying for me is healing and releases my hurt! I am so sad to hear this news. You have been through a lot. Also still trying to heal from surgery. I pray for your tears to lesson for you as that is what you want. You are a wonderful soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Much love from the US!
Sending warmth and care from America.
Hi Paul
I truly feel for you .
So sorry to hear your bad news just when I thought things were improving for you.
It ok to be emotional you are such a caring lovely person
We all go through different emotions and following your cancer journey is very emotional to watch.
Sorry to hear that you are not sleeping and can only imagine how hard it must be for you each day .
Stay strong and keep fighting thinking of you and best wishes

Oh Paul, I hope that your grief lifts slightly so that you can have some happy times.
Please don’t consider VAD too early.
My mother passed 18 months ago of Pancreatic cancer.
7 weeks after diagnosis it was all over.
However in that time , all her 4 adult children moved back home to nurse her, we had happy hour, talked, invited our pets on her bed, we sang to her.
The moments of joy she had balanced the passing feelings of grief and dispair.
She died in her own home, in her gorgeous bedroom and she had all her children there.
Her job was done and we have no regrets on how we handled the last days.
Love and strength to you, and I hope you can find joy in the smallest things… as that is what life is really about.
Snippets of joy. 💕💕
I would rather see you cry than stuff it all in. You do not need to apologize to any of us. It’s the beauty of being human. I’d cry with you if I were there!
So sorry to see this video Paul. I'm in Toronto and yesterday we had a total solar eclipse. Unfortunately it was overcast and I was a bit casual about the whole thing to begin with because I'm 61 and I've lived through a couple of eclipses already (otherwise I might have driven a few hours into better weather). But there was a very brief break in the cloud cover and so I grabbed my eclipse glasses and just managed to catch a glimpse of the sun, which was about 1/5 eclipsed, for maybe 10 seconds. And I realized that even though I have been alive for previous eclipses, I never actually looked at one directly before because I never had proper glasses. So I had seen pictures or video or watched them indirectly on a piece of cardboard. And I have to tell you - those 10 seconds were (literally) AWESOME. I'm not religious but I am in awe of the world and I really believe that we are so arrogant to think that science can make sense of it all. I wish you the very best on your journey, wherever it may take you. And if you've lived so far in relative peace, good health, a bit of comfort and with people in your life who love you, then you have have been more fortunate than millions and millions and millions of people.
You are absolutely right. Paul.
Paul, praying that you can come to a decision about your life/end of life that brings you peace. Whatever you decide, I hope you know how much knowledge & joy you have passed on to others. Your videos have been a gift to many. ❤
