- Jason Randall first started experiencing stomach issues in 2005 and was diagnosed with GERD.
In 2018, he was seen by his doctor when he got severe abdominal pain and infrequent bowel movements. A scan then showed 80% of his liver was covered with metastatic disease and was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer. He was then told he would be on chemo for life.
In this conversation, Jason shares more about his cancer journey, his work with support groups and how he overcame liver surgery and chemo after doctors said it couldn’t be done.

I am a stage 4 colorectal survivor. Like you it had spread to my liver and they gave mea 15% survival rate. Unlike you I had no symptoms nor did it show up in my blood work, just by chance I had a colonoscopy at 52 because it was the end of the year and my insurance deductible had been paid. They did the liver resection first followed by removing the tumor from my colon. My next stop was chemotherapy. My story goes way deeper because everything that happened was miraculous and the Doctors were baffled as I made a full recovery and I am now 10 years cancer free. As a side note on my last treatment my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer so the journey continued but is now cancer free as well. I struggled for a while with God as to what he wanted me to do with this journey and I now know it is to tell my story and give people hope. Up until now I am not part of any organization but perhaps I should look into it. Thanks for sharing.
Hi I had a couple questions if you don’t mind please. How did the doctors first discover you had colorectal cancer? And how did they see that it had spread to other areas? Please let me know as I’m scared and trying to figure out all this stuff.
@@poccagirl1703 The colonocopy found the tumor, after that they did a CT scan followed up with a PET scan. The PET scan found that it had spread to my liver. I was scared too, in fact I was terrified. But I prayed on my knees and I heard a voice say "Don't be afraid, I am with you and a peace came over me and I was not afraid no more. One of the biggest things is your attitude and keeping joy in your heart. I am convinced that I experienced super natural healing from God as there were so many things that did not make sense to the Doctors.Cancer is ugly but it is not a death sentence, you can beat it. I also had the top two Doctors in their field which also was by Gods grace. I will include you in my prayers.
how is your diet after diagnosis?
@@qaecobitv2295 my diet is good
God bless you & your family❤
I was just diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer at age 46. Im really scared for my two daughters and girlfriend. Apparently it spread to my liver and adrenal gland. Starting chemo this week. Hope i can have some success with treatment. Your journey gives me hope.
I hope everything goes well for you
All the Best for you 💙💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Praying for you because I have leukemia and I remember getting the diagnosis and asking ppl I knew to pray for me and at the moment I’m undetectable thanks to god and his will but I know god hears up and the more that pray the better. Don’t give up.
My sister is going through the same for a year. She is doing great 👍🏾. Please keep up the positive vibe as much as you can. Live one day at time 🤍💐
Have you ever fasted(gone without food water only) for a few days to give your system a break ?
My dad was 70 and beat stage 4 colon cancer. It's possible, keep hope .
My mom was 80 when she beat stage 4 colon cancer. I can’t say enough good things about Oregon health sciences university and her surgeon dr. Sood!
Wow ..70 !! What did he do ?
Got very lucky.
Breast cancer survivor , 2 years now, was told stage 3. Staying positive while also taking care of business and living. 67 on April 30 God bless
Wow! What a man! Not only did you serve every single one of us with your military service ❤ but now you are also serving others with cancer ❤ incredible. You are a hero that’s for sure ❤
My dad just recently dx with stage 4 colon cancer, which had already metastasized to the peritoneum and small bowel. The surgeon says it was not resectable and is currently planned for chemo. He was never sick before and the news really crushed him. Hopefully this is the best management for him.Pls pray that everything will be eased for my father and the chemo regime will work 🙏.
🙏
hopefully ur dad is doing great. My prayers are with u ♥️
My mom is fighting stage 4 colon cancer that spread to lungs. I am in Denmark while mom is in Philippines. Please include her in your prayers. 💔
In my prayers 💙💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hello I am also a stage 4 colon cancer survivor. they gave me about a 20 percent chance to live 5 years I had surgery before chemo and had 13 rounds of chemo. I have been cancer free for almost 8 years. I think it was the quality of the surgeons that I had. thank you cleveland clinic for all you have done for me
I had a cough that came late in the day. Went to the doctor, they thought it could be gerd. Took the same meds. No change. Colonoscopy and endoscopy, nothing. CT scan...softball size tumor on my kidney. Stage 3.
Listen to your body.
Glad you are doing so well.
My wife was dx with colorectal cancer stage 4 in October 2022….we had no idea. She had been having random weird symptoms for a couple months. When she finally was seen she had a 10in by 10in mass in her abdomen. She had a total hysterectomy bc the cancer spread to her ovaries which was what the mass was. She also had a bowel resection. It’s also in her liver, bile duct, and one breast. She’s just completed her 10th chemo treatment and has two more. She has a ct scan in a couple weeks.
Prayers
I send prayers your way to. ❤
wow, prayers for her. what a warrior she is!!! ❤ could you recommend the hospital she was treated at? Similar issues, scared to pieces
Many blessings to you and your family!
😢❤
My wife was diagnosed with the same out come stage 4 metastatic to the liver 80 percent covered. It's been 6 mounts she is on chemotherapy took a small break and went on vacation much needed with are whole family. Keep the faith her latest pet scan showed a 26 percent cleaner and she is doing excellent and staying active 🙏🙏🙏
how old was she when she was diagnosed?
@@J-ZIM Hi Jason hope you are doing good and kicking ass. My girl friend is 54 she is reciving targeted therapy. Her numbers are low right now but we have faith that they will come back up. Just a heads up there is a new medication called Dostarlimab/Jemperli. The small trials they are doing have had great results.
I live on Kauai Hi. I just came across your video, I have stage 4 colorectal cancer n Dr's. gave me 2 year's to live. I was diagnosed in the beginning of covid 2020 your cancer history is so similar to mine . Your video touched my heart n gave me a big plus in the positive attitude category. Your video makes me wanna fight even harder despite the outcome. Just wanted to shout out that your video touched someone far away, Thank you for posting this video, I don't feel so alone now! Aloha my friend from Kauai

What a beautiful gentleman.....you are helping so many....
Thank you for sharing. My husband have colon CA and it came back 3rd time. He was diagnosed in 2018 and I was also pregnant with my 3rd child. Now my husband is receiving chemo again. He had liver resection 2020 and now again liver Mets. Your story gave me hope. ThNk you again for sharing
Wow! This is giving me hope at age 40, I was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable colorectal cancer in January 2021. I have had numerous surgeries including an ultra lower anterior resection, liver resection, radiation and currently receiving chemo. the tumor spots in my rectum and liver are stable and have been for about 8 months now. I don’t know what the future holds but just hoping for a miracle st this point. Thank you’ll for sharing, good luck god bless!
So much love and light to your spirit and your body. 🙏

God please let my dad have this miracle happen to him as well. Please let him live longer and go into remission. It's been 6 years stage 4 and it's not looking good. I can't lose my best friend 😭
hopefully he gets well soon 🤲🏼
Hey brother, listen, keep keeping your head up! My father is 80 years old. He was diagnosed with stage four, metastatic colon cancer, to the liver and lungs, back in 2010. Just like you, the surgeon told him it had been growing in there for at least 10 years. That’s a really long journey, and he is still alive. In fact, the colon cancer is the least of his health problems, at this point. Really it’s just heart disease that has hurt him the worst. I know there’s others that don’t always survive this, but there’s always hope. People can survive, and thrive, for a very long time.
Amen 🙏
Hope you doing well
I know it might not seem like it but u r a Blessing to your family b like a camel go to bed on your knees and get up on them the LORD Jesus Christ loves you Amen 🤙🙏🙏🙏
Look at Joe Tippens cancer protocol GOD bless
My dad also has stage 4 spread to liver, lungs and brain. It was a very recent diagnosis. This gives us hope. God bless you and your family!
Good for you! I too have been on a similar path with colrectal for the past several years, but unfortunately the treatments didn't work so they sent me home. Now it's pain management and wait to go "home". Live it up for yourself, your family and for those of us who didn't make it!
Hi, I just got back from a colonoscopy and endoscopy. The results were completely normal. I have had blood in my rectum, unexplained anemia, severe stomach pain, constipation and based on all my Google findings, diagnosed myself with advance colon cancer. They found Nothing, not even a benign polyp. I wanted to share this because I couldn’t find enough of these types of posts when I was looking for answers myself. Sometimes the research we do drives us completely bonkers, wasting hours and days and even weeks assuming the absolute worst! There are soooo many other explanations for symptoms than the worst case scenarios & statistically, it is more likely NOT to have cancer than to have it🙌🏼 Unfortunately, I know this is NOT everyone’s experience and people are diagnosed everyday and have to walk the hard battle out but I wanted to be a voice of hope in the self diagnosis process. Get tested. Don’t ignore symptoms but don’t assume it’s colon cancer.
Hi I had the same symptoms as you and it was cancer. Be careful
Matthew 6:33-34
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Amen.
God bless you Sheila.
Jesus is the way the truth and the life.
Man this guys is a beast. He just pretty much told cancer to F**k off Everytime it would attack him somewhere else in his body. Wow!
Prayers. My mother had colorectal cancer, my screening was at 39, and found a large polyp without any symptoms. Prayers to you.
I finally had my first colonoscopy last week at age 47 (48 now) cuz my dr had been on me to get it done for a couple years at least and I kept putting it off. Especially after I told him that my brother had a cancerous polyp removed (he had preventive chemotherapy and radiation) he is ok. I shouldn’t waited so long. Plus I had started bleeding for about a week straight (which later found out it was just a internal hemorrhoid. My colonoscopy went ok and they found 2 polyps in the colon and removed them. The nurse there told me when I woke up that if I would have sat on it (no pun intended) for 5 or 10 years I would have had serious problems. I am so glad I went to get this procedure done. Plus I’m anemic and that’s a sign of colon cancer too. I have to get checked in 3 years from now. Hopefully all will be ok. I lost my mom to leukemia back in ‘02 and she was just 51 at the time and I remember thinking that was old but I’m now 48 the same age she was when she got sick. She fought like hell though and never once complained. I lost my dad back in march of ‘21 and he had liver cancer and was in the process of getting the transplant and as soon as they were opening him he had a heart attack and died. Then there’s my brother who had the colorectal cancer when he was my age now. I was foolish and hardheaded to put off that colonoscopy that could have possibly prevented me from getting cancer from one of those polyps. (They sent them to the lab which I understand is their standard procedure to check them). I just hope this message reaches at least one person who is one the fence about getting a colonoscopy done. Do it now! (If you haven’t already) don’t be foolish and wait like I did with all the risk factors I had. Don’t wait till you have symptoms to go to the dr or hospital, it may be too late then. We all think it won’t happen to us like we are special and “that won’t happen to me, I’m healthy, I eat right, I take care of myself.” Don’t think that way. It can happen to anyone. I was foolish for waiting so long and thank God I had nothing major . Thank you sir for your testimony and thank you for reading mine. I pray 🙏 everyone gets a colonoscopy and I pray everyone stays healthy and catches cancer in time before it has time to spread. God bless
I recently lost a brother to colorectal cancer. He was diagnosed stage 4 and given 6 weeks to 6 months to live. He lived 15 months. Soon will be 3 years.
Sorry to hear about your loss, sending you lots of love
Sorry for your loss.
I think the thing that never leaves you, is once you have been on this journey and come out the other end........................there is always that fear deep down, will it come back. My mum took this journey 20 years ago and was blessed to have survived with just some scars and a bag. BUT it came back 5 years later, again she fought and won. The second episode did however result in some major 'replumbing' as she puts it, and was able to ditch the bag. She is still clear at 81 years old.
I've had bad gut issues for years now that have turned into much more concerning symptoms. I have been to many doctors and no one can diagnose me because i cant get a colonoscopy. The regimen messes with my heart and makes me almost pass out. I feel so alone and like I'll never get the help I need. Our health care system is so broken, especially where I live in TN. Im glad you got the help you needed! Prayers and love to your family from me🙏
There is a nerve in the stomach that gets pressed or squashed when you eat for some people and it raises the heart beat to an extent of passing out. Please research it and consult your doctors. It can make you feel like you are about to die. Eat food in very small portions to avoid feeling full which triggers the fast heart rate. Also there are procedures done to alleviate the pressure on the nerve but not 100% guaranteed.
Wow, I’m a cancer survivor, but you have really been through it and back again. I wish you the very best.
Thank you!
What an amazing journey! Thank you for sharing your story. My dad passed away of stage 4 colon cancer which spread to his liver. He passed away one year after his diagnosis, even after going through chemo with a determination to fight the disease. I still miss him every day. Seeing your story gives me hope for many other patients out there who need it.
did your dad pass away after all the rounds of chemo? can you explain a little?
yeah my question is same plz tell us answer...my uncle hv a colon cancer 4th stage b...plz tell us
In some case chemo doesn't work, just delay what it is inevitable
I really like you. You actually sound like a doctor. I think you we're placed like chess pieces guided by a guardian angel 😇 I'm getting a colonoscopy Monday, and you've helped me with my fears. You were meant to get out there and share your experience. Thank you, and I hope your cancer never returns and that you live a long and healthy life.
Well... I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV 📺 and I approve this message! 😶
@@alphaomega1351 😁😁
❤
How did your colonoscopy go? Do you have your results?
Thank you! I hope your scope went well :)
What an incredible testimony of where you were and where you are now! Live long and prosper. ❤
What a champion! I have all kinds of “down there” issues but don’t go to the dr. to find anything out. Too afraid and can’t afford to get anything done anyway. So, my mindset, at age 73, is to just keep going with my top priority being living as long as possible because my daughter would be list without me. I eat only organic, small amounts of non-processed food and walk 3 miles at least 5 days a week. I’m on no drugs. Gonna just die if I can’t walk anymore and save my daughters inheritance instead of trying to live 2-3 months longer.
I hear ya there. Im only 61 and already have a few significant issues but no insurance and cant afford drs. Just gonna take SS at 62 and do the best I can til my time comes. Besides, our medical system is broken and alot of fraud and waste and uncaring Drs.
Genau das würde ich auch tun.
you can do fasting, keto, fenbendazole, artemisinin, turkey tail mushroom. search each of those + cancer.
there are many things you can do but the best thing i think is just a long hard fast preferably at least 72 hours if you can manage that. the cancer needs glucose and glutamine to survive and spread.
Man, if anyone thinks they are going through some things, watch this guy. This is nuts. Glad to see you were strong enough to make it through. I'm not sure I'd have the same response.
Thank you! It's nothing anyone is ever prepared for, I am just grateful to have made it through and am keeping going through it all. I do a lot of work helping others going through this so they can maximize their own chances at survival.
dead of loved one is worst thing, its not bearable for me
Jason is much stronger than I could ever be. I don’t think I could ever withstand all of this.
There are no words - I’m terribly sorry that you are going through this enormous struggle.
thank you so much for having the courage and the time to share your amazing journey. I wish you long life full of health and happiness.
I have stage 3 Colon cancer my symptom was pain in my lower back that wouldn’t go away I thought I had a kidney stone went to ER they done a CT scan and seen the msss on it, 3 days later surgery and started chemo in around 3 weeks, so far so good !!
Have you ever fasted? Gone days with just drinking water?
You heal or not reply please
Thank you Jason for sharing your amazing story & looking to help others. I wish you & your family the best - stay strong & look for moments of joy!
Tears of joy for you. I have no other words. You are here for a reason.
So glad you're here to share your struggle ❤
Wow - what courage and dedication - what a boon to the community! Thanks ❤
Thanks for sharing your story. Lots of prayers for you and your family. i'm sure you will win this fight and watch your kids grow and graduate!
Jason, you are one strong dude. Thank you for sharing your journey. Best wishes and long life to you and your family. What a ride y'all have been on.
Thank you, Jason. Your sharing means a lot.
A true warrior, God Bless you and your family!
Wow. This guy is so strong! Prayers and hope for continuing to stay healthy.
Blimey, you really have been through it!
All power to you 💪
Love and blessing to you and your family ❤
Jason, you are an awesome inspiration to anyone going through cancer treatment. It totally engulfs your life and changes everything. I am going to pray for you my friend. Keep up the good work
Jeez what a strong guy. You've survived multiple rounds of chemo and surgeries I've lost count of!
I’m so sorry you have to go through this! Being smart and seeking other opinions has kept you alive. Best wishes for continued good health.
Listening to this gives me hope. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in October of 2022. I am a year into it and I'm basically on a maintenance treatment now. My cancer spread to my lungs. I have 14 spots in my left lung and 5 in my right. All of those are very small. I've never had any issues with my blood work and I'm still working full time. I am doing really well and feel good 95 percent of the time. I am thinking of looking into something as I didn't like being told I'd never get off chemo. I don't feel that is the end. This story gives me more hope. Thanks for sharing!! 😊
Same thing for me. It's hard to get information on this situation
Steve has since passed away.

So glad u r doing well! You are amazing! It is hard to wrap the mind around what u have been through. Thanks for explaining your journey and giving other people hope. Wishing u all the best. I don’t have words for how incredible u r!
Wooow! You've been through so much! You are AMAZING! YOU ARE A LIGHT FOR ALL! BLESSINGS DEAR HEART!!!
I’m in awe of you Sir. True inspiration for not giving up. Thank you for sharing your story and lending yourself to be a support to others❤❤❤May you be blessed always.
I appreciate all the detail you’ve offered. And I’m so glad you’re doing well. My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2013, had surgery, and then had chemotherapy - 5FU. Got a chuckle out of that name! Blessings, dear one.
Thanks for sharing your story. I just “got over” cancer, but I STILL don’t know what it’s like to go through what you did. Mine was confined to my uterus, which was simply removed. From the beginning I knew it was no big deal. I hope to never know what it’s like to be given a possible cancer death sentence. People like you are so brave. You’re heroes.
This was an inspirational story to hear! My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in May 2022 and since then has went through FOLFOX chemo, had 15 inches of his colon removed, and had 30% of his liver removed this past October. On Dec 26 he went to the ER because he was having pain in his lower right side. Unfortunately, the scan came back that the cancer had progressed back in his colon,liver and on his lung. He sees his oncologist tomorrow to see what's next. I hope and pray this can still be treated. Please keep him and my family in everyone's prayers ❤
Just found out if the vectibix doesn't work on my brother's cancer, he has 2 mths to live! I need answers quick as to what to do. Please someone respond
@@bigarms6279hey man i’m going through something similar with my mother. Look into clinical trails, MD anderson also seems to have a very high success rate. Also look into alternative treatments. Sending you my prayers. In every story i’ve read hope seems to the biggest factor.
You are a warrior! So happy for u and ur family. Such an inspiration. Appreciated!!!
You are a hero!! Best wishes for continued good health.❤
You are an angel... Not seen such calmness. God bless you!
I’m a stage 3c colorectal cancer survivor. I’ve been NED since June 2020. I had a LAR , half of my rectum and 5 inches of my sigmoid colon removed, along with 30 lymph nodes. 28 days of radiation and 8 rounds of FOLFOX which was terminated early due to significant neuropathy and low platelets- Oxaliplatin is a blessing and a curse. Unfortunately after all this treatment I struggle with significant quality of life issues related to frequency and urgency of bowel movements. I’ve found that there seems to be relatively little expertise in helping people challenged with LAR syndrome. I’ve had to rely a lot on my own research to try and manage and improve my situation. A lot of my treatments were done during Covid. There were no support groups and no visitors for treatments and surgeries. I’ve received a lot of benefit from watching TH-cam and observing all of the different cancer stories that people have experienced. I can’t overstate the importance of having good emotional support during and after treatment. My spouse offered virtually no emotional support (lots of practical and physical support instead). Ultimately after my first surgery she told me she wanted a divorce- which was just as devastating as my cancer diagnosis. I can tell you had a lot of emotional support, which I wish I could have experienced. Thanks for sharing your story. You certainly have figured out how to make lemonade from life’s lemons.
I can't believe that the person you supposed to have the most support abandoned you. What a coward !! I really hope you are still fighting this battle. I send you a hug and I wish you the best.
@@ceciliacruz7804 Thank you for caring. A lot of my treatments were during Covid. No visitors during surgeries. No support groups. And no emotional support from my spouse. So it was a lonely journey. The good news is my treatments have resulted in no evidence of cancer. So I’m grateful for that. My ex is a medical person. I think all of her empathy was spent on her patients, she’s an excellent clinician, which didn’t leave much for me when she got home. Thank you for the hugs and caring.
Wow dude. You are a stud. What grit and determination. So happy to hear you are doing well.
You are very inspiring and strong.
I have been told that I need to be on chemo for life also, but listening to you I think there is hope. Thank you for sharing your story. It is not an easy journey.
Wish you all best and most speedy importantly health.
I’m glad that I found you! Such an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing your story; you are so brave. I’m long overdue for a colonoscopy and you are a reminder of why we should get this done. Wish you and your family all the best.
I just wanna say how happy I am for you and your family. You look great. I pray you have continued good health.
Wow. You are a hero. An inspiration. I can't believe all you have been through and conquered. And now helping others. Thanks for sharing your story.
Wow! I can't believe that you can remember that very long + complex treatments so perfectly. You never had to hesitate even once.
You have such a strong memory....a strong mind!
such a well spoken young man, perfect to share his story..
Thank you for sharing your story. What an unbelievable journey you’ve been through. May God continue to bless you and your family. ❤️
what an intelligent and well spoken man - God bless you and what an incredible journey! You got this 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Some things in life are not completely understood, glad to hear you have been beating the odds and giving your family what they deserve, your love.
Your medical understanding of your experience is remarkable. Very helpful for others who can't straighten it out in their heads, it can be confusing, while your not feeling well. Thank you
What an incredibly clear and thorough explanation of how this particular cancer can manifest. Especially interesting given it didn't really tick any of the boxes that you are told to look out for with bowel cancer (as we call it in the UK and here in Australia). Jason, you are beyond incredible in my eyes. I can't begin to imagine going through all of those heavy treatments and surgeries. Your family too sound amazing for their strength and in helping support you. Unfortunately, I know what you mean when you say the primary and secondary caregivers should be captured when talking about the patient with cancer having been my mum's primary caregiver myself.
Hearing Jason talk about the symptoms and the diverticulitis made my ears prick up (I was diagnosed with it in 2009). I will be pushing my GP to get my overdue colonoscopy and endoscopy as soon as possible. Thank you for an excellent and highly educating share.
What an incredible journey!
What a beautiful story! God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing your story. You are a Warrior. Much love and light to you and your family.
You sound like a really good dude with a great family. I wish the best for you!
You are an amazing human being. You have so much strength and wisdom. You are an inspiration and I hope you continue to thrive. 🥰
Thank God for the doctors and researchers. This man is the strongest person I’ve ever listened to. I pray he will continue to live out his life cancer free.
I am so impressed by how knowledgeable and informed you are about the procedure names and the drug names. You have really done such a tremendous job at making sure you are educated about both your diagnosis and treatments. I am very impressed by you. I think that many who have been handed a diagnosis like you received would shut down and accept their fate. You stood up to cancer and didn't accept the sentence. Congratulations on your health and keep up the great fight!
Thank you!
Thank you Jason for sharing your fight against cancer. You are a true fighter.
What an amazing story. Sending you and your family love and prayers. What a inspiration you are !❤
Thank you!
Today I learned that a great friend of mine as a kid passed away from stage 4 colan/liver cancer back in 2021. We had a falling out in '92 and I hadn't heard from him since. I hope you have a better outcome than he did. If you've foolishly stopped talking to any old acquaintances, it's never too late to make amends - until it's too late. Be well.
Deadzone you not spoken to your friend from 1992
Love all of this! So happy for you!!!💕
Jason, you have such a strong spirit! I cant even imagine what you have been through & the pain you have had to endure! God Bless you❤you have a beautiful family❤
Thank you for sharing ❤❤ this is incredible. You and your family are incredible. And thank you for helping others ❤️
What a journey you have been on , I too have a permanent Colostomy it’s the best thing you can have. My gosh you have been through the mill, enjoy every day of life! Well done
Hey I'm from Lawrence neighbour! Your story was very inspirational to hear and I'm sure it has helped so many people. Stay strong and God bless. I will add you to my prayers.
Wow. So glad your oncologist was honest about life-long palliative care. Honesty is so much better for adjustment than false hope. I wish you happiness and high quality of life.
Wow what an amazing story. So sorry you’ve been through so much but glad to hear you’re doing much better. Don’t know how you remember all your procedures and meds so well without looking at notes!
Thank you for giving me hope!
God Bless and keep you and your wife here.❤❤
What a strong, brave unstoppable man! Very admirable. Congratulation of winning battle against cancer.
Wow it’s amazing that you are doing great. I am so happy for your family to have you doing well. Your cancer was quite aggressive but all fingers cross that it stays in remission.
You are so awesome I'm so glad you're still around for your family God bless you
Thank you for your service...sending love from DC. What a cancer warrior you are! 🌹🍀
Thank you!
