Do not stand By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep- I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle, autumn rain. As you awake with morning’s hush, I am the swift, up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the day transcending night. Do not stand By my grave, and cry- I am not there, I did not die.
I am forever grateful that you touched my life Dr Dan and I will be watching your chanel and keep praying for you and your family. You are loved and special❤
Dans brother John posted this a little bit ago - Hi, friends. I'm sad and relieved to say that Dan died at 5:08 p.m. Central / 6:08 p.m. Eastern yesterday evening. Utter peace. Mom, Dad, me, and a friend (who happened to be bringing us food at the time) holding him as he gradually stopped breathing. We bathed him and dressed him in dark gray pants and his pink (Friday) scrub top. I washed his hair and styled it. He looks really handsome and even has a smirk. We'll have a memorial in Austin, this weekend if possible, and will keep you posted.
*UPDATE FRIDAY 7/12/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 Dr. Dan is resting comfortably with the meds the hospice doctor has him on. We are so thankful for that. And, today our nurse, who is just cool to hang out with, untangled a huge issue we were having, that was costing Dan’s dad and I sleep. Without these people, there would just be no way to cope. And all of you are such a fantastic encouragement, for us. So much to be thankful for. Dan wasn’t able to speak intelligibly yesterday, but today he said several short sentences. It was so good to hear his sweet voice saying, “What time is it, mom?” Never take the little things for granted. And, I wanted to tell you that on the Fourth of July, the apartment complex had a pool party, and the pool is just through the trees from Dan’s balcony. When he heard the music, he started whistling along. Oh, my heart….💙 God bless you all, you are wonderful. ❤️🤗🙏🐼❤️
So happy to hear you treasure these little, everyday things, but they also mean so, so much ❤❤ Dan is a ray of sunshine, he is one of those people who make the world so much better ❤ Love you guys ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness now my heart is melting hearing this!!! Thank you mom Panda!!! I am so pleased you can all get some peaceful sleep. He can still speak and whistle 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐼🐼🐼🐼that is the sweetest thing I have heard in a while!!! God bless all of you❤❤❤❤
@@tiamorar Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I discovered Dr. Dan.. not long ago, however I’ve used his videos library to relieve back and shoulder pain, please let him know that his videos have helped me.. despite his current situation he’s still helping people… praying for conform and healing. ❤️🩹 🐼
It is good to know that all is well with your soul. “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven... To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 and 7). God bless us all. Peace.
Time passes by crazy fast! Life goes on as Dan's family moves through their grief. There are so many others dying from cancer. Amazing to me that there is no cure.
*UPDATE TUESDAY, 7/9/24:* The wonderful hospice nurses helped Dan through a severe headache and he feels good and able to sleep, now. So grateful! 🙏 An electric hospital bed will be delivered tomorrow, supplied by hospice. Being able to adjust it will make Dan more comfortable. 👍 We are not offended by anyone asking for updates, sharing their strongly-held faith, or their suggestions for Dan, *ever.* Srsly! You’re all wonderful and amazing, and we thank you for your kind concern! You’re the best, all of you-of all faiths and healing persuasions! ❤🥰🐼🙏❤️
Everything belongs to our Father in Heaven, all that we are, all that we have. In His Hands, commit your spirit. Know His great love for you, for me, for us. We are not just any piece of clay. For we are God's masterpiece. Never forget. Peace.
Thank you so very much for your continual updates. So very sorry to hear about his headache. Wish there were a way for us to take away all his pain and cancer. If there were anyone who did not deserve to go through this, it is him. All of you, as always, are in my thoughts. Much love and peace 🕊️ ❤️🐼 - Kimberly
Hospice nurse here. There is a beginning and and end to everyone's life. No one knows their date but everyone has one. We will all get there. See you on the other side.
@@Woudloper If it's so obviously false, why do atheists exhaust so much of their energy arguing with people about it? I'm Catholic but I don't waste my time debating anyone who believes in leprechauns. I think everyone knows God and an afterlife exist, but it terrifies some people. The good news is, God's a loving God.
@@eatgrass123 The delusional belief in otherworldly beings - and there have been many thousands since the dawn of human consciousness - is 'exhausting' to clear-thinking people for the simple reason that it's infinitely easier to kick the can down the road, with nonsense talk such as 'a better place', than to make the changes we need to make - and absolutely CAN make - to reduce the suffering that is all around us. And by the way, what good has the Catholic Church ever manifested on this planet for as long as its ridiculous dogmas have been in place?
@@Woudloper what happens after you die aligns with your spiritual, religous and personal beliefs. It does not have to align with mine or anyone elses. Ask yourself about what *you* believe happens when you die. There is your answer
@@Woudloperu say that healthy not on your deathbed I'm sure it will change when u are going out. U say a god is ridiculous have u seen science it's just as "ridiculous" black holes that's no more than jesus on a toast pareidolia the picture I seen scientists says a black hole I see a ring and they literally cant prove me wrong. I believe in science it just I've experienced things I cant explain with science.
*UPDATE THURSDAY 7/11/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 Right now, Dan is sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed in his living room, thanks to the wonderful care he is receiving from hospice, which seems to hire angels on furlough from Heaven. Dan is declining precipitously, but hospice is taking care of him, and us, in such a way that it smooths the rough road so much for all involved. Trying to take care of Dan without them is unimaginable. Even though, as of today, Dan cannot speak, he gave his nurse and PCS that wonderful smile of his several times as they were caring for him. I cannot thank you all enough for your prayers, encouragement and sharing. As someone in the comments said, this community has restored my faith in humanity. Please know that you have helped Dan so much, and that he has all he needs, and that we are so grateful. 🙏 Dan is a born peacemaker, and I hope that in addition to his helping so many with their rehab needs, that his legacy will also include adding just a little more harmony to the lives of those he has touched. I know that is at the top of his wish list. ❤️🐼🕊️🤗❤️
Good night Dr. Dan, good night all you wonderful angels, good night moon. Psalm 121:8 “The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever”. Peace.
Thank you , Dan's mom , for the update. He has a special gift for inspiring people with his grace in the face of adversity. . I will miss his kind , cheerful voice with the infectious laugh and his beautiful smile ❤ I hope that Dan and you who are there with him can feel the love that we are sending your way. 🙏💕🫂
I hate what chiropractic does to people, this man has made so many peoples lives worse throughout his career as a fake doctor, it's wild that he didn't die in prison like all chiropractors should.

@@oBCHANo Keep all your sh!t for yourself instead of spreading hate against this person. Stop being so resentful and miserable.
*UPDATE SATURDAY 7/6/24:* Dr. Dan had a more comfortable day today with the new medication his doctor prescribed. He was hoping for a rainy day, and got his wish as we enjoyed Movie Night with National Geographic. He is diminishing in strength, but remains appreciative, gentle and peaceful. “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” All the best to all of you. ❤️🙏🤗🐼❤️
First of all, Dan is still with us, though very ill. ❤️ Second of all, thank you all for your kind sharing to keep Dan in Austin, as he so wanted. You have been incredibly kind and we are immensely grateful. I ask that you *not* send any more donations, as your labor of love has been effective, but is no longer needed. We will be closing the PayPal account as soon as possible, but until then, please know that you helped and rest in that. Much love. ❤️🐼🤗❤️
Thank you for your kind words, everyone. 💕And if you would please do me the favor of referring others to my comment above about Dan being very ill, and my serious request that no more donations be sent, I would appreciate it so much. Two charities very close to our hearts are Tracey Cline’s Rescue Texas and Alain Ferry’s Race Cancer Foundation. Both are wonderful people with hearts of gold doing compassionate work passionately. We love them. May their tribe increase. ❤❤❤
Just came on here to see if Dan was still with us. I love you Dan, we all do, you were a ray of sunshine. I hope your parents watch these videos and read our comments in tough times. You both raised an amazing son. What a beautiful family. Dan lives on in our hearts and minds. I will think of him and smile.
My husband had colon cancer and lost his battle on November 27,2020. He said if he would have had more time he would have written a book titled “Cancer is the Best Thing that has Happened to Me”. It made him view life differently and see all the blessings most don’t see. He lost his life here on earth but gained his eternal life with Jesus!
I can’t believe how resistant everyone is to the idea/reality/notion of God & the afterlife -Christ Jesus showing up during all of the near death experiences SEEMS like proof enough - that Jesus defeats death & facilitates our transition/right standing with God 🥺 please if you’re reading this - please take time to look into Colton Burpo , Dr Eban Alexander - or the dozens of Muslim testimonies encountering Jesus. Please while there is still time.
N@@michelleduncan9965AMEN Michelle. Let's keep him in prayer. He said his dad had obligations at the church, so, hopefully, he has heard the gospel. It's ALL about Jesus. HEBREWS 9:27..... It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgement.
UPDATE SUNDAY, 7/13/24: Dr. Dan had a sleepy day, surrounded by lots of love, with his brother from Tennessee here for the week, and others as well. His nurses are very good problem solvers. All the best to all of you. ❤
Thank you , Dan's Mom. ❤ Such a blessing that Dr.Dan is surrounded by those who love him. Sending love and praying for you all . Please take care. 🙏❣🐼⚘
*UPDATE MONDAY 7/8/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 So many are inquiring every day about Dan, which is so kind, so I’ll just keep briefly checking in with you here, to hopefully save you scrolling through so many comments to find out how he is. Dr. Dan is staying more comfortable with his new medication. He sleeps pretty well at night, and is sleepier during the day. He has developed some jaundice, according to his nurse. The brain issues are requiring the most adjustment right now-motor control, eye-hand coordination, ability to focus. His set point is acceptance of things as they come, but he definitely wants to captain his own ship, as always, so, go Dan! 🫡💕
@tiamorar Hi Ms. Tia! I know you are lockstep in this journey with your son, and I want to thank you tremendously for taking time with everything happening to keep us updated on his condition. Sending Dr. Dan and your family, continuous prayers, positive vibes, hugs, and love along this virtual highway 🙏🏽 ❤️
*UPDATE MONDAY 7/15/24:* Hello, everyone! 🤗 (Okay, it’s Tuesday as of 2 minutes ago, but play along with me here, okay? 🙃) Dan had a good day, and is sleeping soundly. 🙏 We’ve had such a happy last couple of days, in fact. Someone told me to keep standing in front of the mirror and doing that “silly, naive” thing I told you about a couple of days ago. Good advice! Welp, I did! (Ducking for incoming mortars. 🙀). I’d love to tell you all about it, but sleep deprivation in the elderly is a serious problem in this country, so I’ll give you a few brief snippets. Beautiful Tracey came to visit from Houston. 🥰 Dan recognized her voice, opened his eyes and smiled! 🎉 She brought a scrumptious care package of spa products to share with me, Jessica and Dan, too! John gave Dan a meticulous shave, and other facial upgrades, and Dan looked like a new man! 👍 John did some swashbuckling other things for Dan that gave Helicopter 🐼 Mom some concern, but worked out fine. (Not as much concern as when John was flying Black Hawk missions to the mountainous regions of Pakistan delivering emergency supplies after the disastrous floods of 2011.) (My kids. They love to buckle their swashes. 😅) Sweet Jessica came and rearranged Dan’s bed so he could see his beautiful balcony view. Then she and John risked life and limb hanging a hummingbird feeder where Dan could see it. Sweet! 🦤 (Imagine that’s a humming bird, please.) Four of Dan’s volleyball bros showed up en masse and told outrageous stories on Dan. What?! 😮 His mindful nurse came and pronounced his vitals golden, as usual. As she left she said, “I’ll see you tomorrow,” and he replied with his tried-and-true nurse rejoinder, “I’ll wait right here for you.” 😄 His stunning friend and mentee, who shadowed him at his office for a long time, came, and had tears in her eyes upon first seeing him, but soon joined in the family conversation and was a delight. When she left, Dan called out, “You’re wonderful!” Dan’s old friend from Dallas, who did a “Pain Free After 50” video series with Dan, dropped by and regaled us with stories of gratuitous privileges bestowed on him by genetic virtue of his being a dead ringer for George W. Bush. 😂 And I can’t leave out Dan’s brother Mark, who faithfully works on everything I ask him to and takes a huge load off my mind. THANK YOU, Mark! ❤️ When John prayed with Dan and started to leave for the night, Dan told him, “I had a loving time.” 🥰 There’s lots more, but… The End. 😴👋 ❤️🐼🤗🙏❤️
@@tiamorar i know there's a trove of material on here, but i wonder if videoing some of these encounters you describe might be of value to you in the future. Just a thought.
Sounds like a deservedly deeply loving day was had by all. Loving thoughts and good wishes for a restful and rejuvenating sleep being sent to you all. God bless you Dan and family/friends 😴 🙏🏻❤🐼
@tiamorar. Thank you so much for sharing with us ❤ Sounds like there was an abundance of love and laughter and great memories today. As always , sending prayers and all my love to Dr.Dan , his family and friends. Forever a grateful member of Team Panda ❤ 🐼 😊 ❤
I'm very sorry to hear Dr Dan. My wife has Stage 4 Breast Cancer, double mastectomy. Breast cancer cells in her left lung, and now 17 legions in her brain. We have 3 kids. This has been nearly 2 years of a shitty roller coaster. She was clear in March, lung happened in May, and Brain was last month. She is So Amazing and Strong.❤
Prayers and positive healing for your darling wife. I am a sister breast cancer survivor with neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer, a rare slow growing cancer. I am still fighting the good fight and have faith your wonderful wife will too.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 2024: Hello, everyone. Dan has had a quiet, sleepy day. He saw his wonderful hospice nurse, and she explained many things in such a way as to put our minds at ease. He is uncomfortable and fatigued, but rarely has actual pain, and he does gift us with that smile several times a day. 🙏 He still holds those seemingly opposite things in mind-all the projects and adventures he’d still dearly love to do here, and the reality of his diminishing powers and possible soon transition, which he has accepted, as have I. The outpouring of love and concern that has continued for this family of “just folks” is difficult to fathom, but we are so grateful and encouraged by you all, and I pray that if you have received anything of value from Dan, you will continue in that, and that you will bless many others, as you have blessed us. I send my prayers for those who are sick, and prayers and condolences for all who have suffered loss. I am so sorry. God bless you all.
Thank you so , so much for sharing with us in such a difficult time for your family. Dan has touched us in a special way and we are grateful for him. Hoping and still praying for healing for him. ❤
@tiamorar Thank you so much for the update, I've been thinking of him and checking for updates everyday, he is a wonderful human being, I'm so glad I was able to follow his journey, sending Love and prayers 🙏🙏
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 Dan. This is all out of our hands. There is a GOD and you’ll be blessed, no matter what. Trust.
It's beautiful on the other side isn't it? Some days I can't wait. There ARE a couple of things I want to accomplish before leaving here though but no fear here!
At his passing, he’s now cancer free and at peace…. God bless this man’s gentle soul. I hope that these videos help to inspire other cancer patients and families.
Lost my 40 year old wife to liver cancer 2 years , she was the most beautiful and sweet person , she was super brave until the last breath , they waited too long at Moffitt cancer center and she never even got treatment, which could have bought us another year if they did act fast enough , she still live in my heart and the hearts of her 3 children. I miss her soo much Much love ,we all will have a similar conclusion, just another phase of life.
God is Eternal, Omniscient and Omnipotent. He is preparing some of us for life, and some for ending of life. Only He knows which and who, and for what purpose. That is His purpose. Most of all, God is Love. 🙏🧡🙏🧡🙏
Did 30 yrs of ER/Trauma nursing. Upon retirement, I have now been a Hospice volunteer for 5 yrs. I maintain 6 - 10 clients that I visit with once a week and sit for vigils. It is more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Hospice is often times completely misunderstood. Wishing you comfort and peace of mind.
You are right, in my past life I was an oncology nurse and often did Hospice. I always tell people hospice nursing by far was the most rewarding experience I had while a nurse. I have considered many times opening hopsice facilities and may very well do so in the future.
Dr. Dan, people will come back to this channel for years in admiration for the way you handle this and how much you have taught about life along the way.
I haven't seen someone square up with death with such composure and positivity like Dan. There is literally no one like him. Life throws cancer and Dan turns it into piercing authenticity and self-realization. Stud no matter what.
*UPDATE WEDNESDAY, 7/10/24:* Dan is much more comfortable in his new bed, and it makes things so much easier. 👍 His amazing hospice Personal Care Specialist was able to get him freshened up and feeling so much better, even though his mobility and ability to help are much diminished. Anyone who can do what she did has my admiration-that’s a real skill-and I heard cheerful conversation happening too! 😊🙏 Dan felt headachey and not hungry much of the afternoon today, and so is just hanging out, resting. Ice pack & meds helped headache, thankfully. Until tomorrow, all the best to all of you. 🥱🤗❤️
Thank you so, so much for the update! I am happy to hear that Dr. Dan is more comfortable in his new bed, is getting ice pack and medication for his headache, and has such great hospice support. Hope he and you and everyone there have a peaceful and restful evening and night. Thank you again for your daily updates. Love to all of you - from Cedar Hill, Texas. ♥🐼♥
Thank you as always for sharing with us how Dan is doing. ❤ Grateful that he is mostly comfortable and not in too much pain. Thinking of you all and praying for comfort and strength 🙏 💕 May God bless and keep you .
Would it be possible for me to come visit in the next week or so? Or would this be too much of an imposition? The last thing I would want to do is make anything more difficult for you or Dan. Even if I saw him for just a few minutes, that would be enough. Just love him so much! Let me know what you think.
I often wonder how your Family doesn't catch frost bite from hanging out with such a COOL dude. Thanks for the update! Your Family is in my thoughts. ❤ 💪🏼
Dr. Dan is still with us. The family will let you know if he is not. I wish everyone here all the best, no exceptions. I appreciate you all for what you bring. ❤
My wife passed away on June 24,2023 from glioblastoma(aggresive brain tumor). I am not religious,but her death motivated me to begin to research the afterlife. As a result,I have become more spiritual in the past year. As a scientist,I was skeptical about the afterlife. I am now convinced that our consciousness/spirit/soul continues on after our body dies. Bruce Greyson,MD from the University of Virginia has studied near death experiences(NDEs)for over 40 years and wrote a book entitled "After". It is a great read for anyone interested in looking at the afterlife from a scientific standpoint. I do not fear death because I know that,although my body will die, I will never die.
I ponder my existence. How in the H did I get here. Why am I existing on this sphere in the middle of the universe. It really blows the mind. Since the universe is so complex, there is something amazing in store for all of us. I cant explain it, but it exists. I truly believe you will reconnect with your wife on some level.
This devastating loss of your wife gave you a purpose to discover more information about the afterlife. When my boyfriend was killed by a drunk driver one week after we graduated high school in 1972, and being told that there was nothing after death, it didn’t make sense and it filled me with such emptiness and despair . Then years later one brother had a TBI and was in a coma for a month and he had visions of a beautiful world beyond. my father died of cancer and five years later my brother died of cancer, I have read many books regarding after life, experiences of family members dealing with end stage loved ones and the seeking of answers continues. I feel strongly at this stage in my life that death is just another stage in the cycle of life, that there is something greater beyond.
Hospice RN here. Dr Dan. You are right. Nothing is for sure. I have been fired many times by folks who just refused the plan and got better, despite medical efforts. You are a beautiful soul. Walk your path as is best for you. Your hospice team will be there to walk with you.
You are an inspiration by how you are sharing your personal journey. You are in my thoughts. I send you my ❤ to comfort you.😊 I will share your words. You have a great legacy 14:09
@oldnurse When we face end of life, we need to be told the truth. Despite how "good" we may appear, we are not "good". No one is good except God. We will all face our Maker. The only ones who go to Heaven are those who humbled themselves as little children and trusted in the free gift of Jesus' sacrificial death. Jesus paid a high cost for our eternal life. May Dr. Dan get to know Jesus before he takes his last earthly breath. His next encounter will be in front of God. Whoever reads this, please get to know Jesus. He loves you and wants you to spend eternity in the blessings of His presence and joy and favor!
Dr Dan, I’m a medical doctor (psychiatrist) in the UK (London) and I’ve been following your journey here for some time now. I have been so captivated by your emotional resilience and vivacious determination to take the positive from the journey you are on. You have encouraged and inspired me. Thank you so much for sharing your story 💗
How awful for you to watch your beloved son suffer .. praying our Lord is comforting all of you and giving you His strength to get you thru this.. God Bless Dan ❤
UPDATE FRIDAY 6/28/24: Dr. Dan is feeling much better today, after a difficult night, the second in a week. He is up, enjoying food, and taking charge, as usual. 💪 He is definitely not ready to say how much longer he will be staying in Austin, and so his PayPal will remain, and I will honor his decision, of course. He is one tough cookie, is all I can say. 💪🍪❤️🐼
Oh he is just the most amazing strongest person. It must be all of us here on utube and all his family and friends that are giving him the wind in his sails yay!!! I hope he is getting to see all these messages from the world!!!! Look how many of us 🎉❤Was listening to the song by Josh Groben " You raise me up" Sending all the strength and energy his way and to you and family mom Tia ❤❤
Thank you for the update, Mama 🐼❤❤ So glad to hear he is feeling better ❤ Dan is in my thoughts and his loved ones as well. Such a pure, wonderful person. Love you Dan, love you family ❤❤❤
For those unaware John (Dan's brother) is posting updates on Twitter, very kindly sharing during such a tough time. His latest "He is peaceful; shallow breathing. No pain. It won't be long. 7:44 PM · Jul 21, 2024
Dr. Dan. It's been an immense honor to get to go through this journey with you. We all love you. We will always remember you, friend. I hope you see this comment. We love you, Doctor! Always!
*UPDATE SUNDAY 7/21/24 at **11:30** A. M., Central Daylight Time:* Dr. Dan’s pulse oxygen level is in the 60’s. May all your love come back to you a thousand fold. You are wonderful human beings. “With every breath that I am able Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.”
Sending big hugs your way❤❤ I found dr. Dans profile today, seeking comfort from my dad’s passing of cancer, and stumbled upon a TikTok talking about his profile. Spent the last hour reading through the comments and watching videos❤️ I wish you all strength forward now, lots of love from Norway❤️❤️❤️ let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys
TH-cam's algorithm just sent me your page. I am a retired chiropractor. I pray you have a peaceful transition and a glorious afterlife. Thank you for your courage and willingness to share.
How do you live with yourself, knowing how many peoples body you've damaged, how many people didn't seek real medical attention when they needed it because you convinced them they didn't need it?
After dealing with my daily chronic pain for a year. I made an appointment to see a Dr Dan Bockmann and I’m so glad I did. You fixed my pain after only two sessions & gave me homework for life- I am forever in your debt. Your legacy will always be here - you will always be here. We love you and are with you. Always. ❤
I’m. Glad to hear this. I have chronic pain from two artificial dis replacements. I hope to get relief one day. He seems so great and any of us would be lucky to have had a Dr like Dan!
Dr Dan, you are the epitome of courage, strength and I pray faith. I pray you know Jesus as your Savior. If you do death truly has lost its sting. Please don’t miss the chance to live all eternity in the presence of God creator of Heaven and earth. I pray you feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the Peace that surpasses all understanding and comes from faith in Jesus Christ.
@@ninaishida8453absolutely agree with you on that. The most important message anyone can give is the message you sent to Dr Dan. Turning to THE LORD is the most important thing anyone can do.
Dan, I’m 24 y.o. biology student and I must admit that I love what you do for others. You bring so much love and joy in my life. I’ve been watching your videos since my car accident that resulted in two fractured vertebrae. I’ve been in pain ever since and your videos helped me tremendously. I’m not religious whatsoever and no one from my family is but yesterday I prayed for the first time in my life. I prayed for you. I wish for your days to be filled with joy and love, no pain no sorrow. I hope I will be able to meet you one day! Have a great day Dan (my favourite panda man).
This was beautiful. I am not religious either. I am just a born-again Christian. I don't belong to any sect. Just read the book of John and it will explain everything you wanted to know about everlasting life eternal life and how to obtain it Jesus Christ did it all for you there is nothing you can do to earn it just believe God bless you Lorena
Today I cried Dr. Dan died A stranger that I clicked on his cancer link Really made me stop and think He came across as thoughtful and kind Having such a positive frame of mind His smile was bright We all wanted him to win the fight His message was clear I will no longer fear A Panda Community that came together online In our hearts Dan will forever shine Today there will be sorrow But I’m sure Dr. Dan would want us to make the most out of tomorrow.
Hi Dan, it’s been 9 Months since u posted the video saying “ I have about 2-6 Months left to live “. We are all very proud of how far you’ve come on this tough journey. You’ve inspired us all and you have taught me things about life that I’m so grateful for. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺
I have no Idea why TH-cam sent this video to my feed????? I have not searched cancer or chriropractors or anything related recenlty...BUT anyway I am glad it did for I am a richer person now than I was 1 hour ago. Thank Dr. Dan. My Prayers are with you. May the great Physician Lord Jesus bring you bodily health.
How appropriate that nature is covering you in the background...as I approach this time myself from aging and other issues its both sad and enlightening to share these moments with you ....may you be watched over and be strong....we are with you and the fact that you can share this time is amazing ....
My wife told me that a notice popped up on her phone this morning that you had a new video to share. She said that you mentioned that it may be your last transmission. Every morning after I pour us both a cup of coffee, I clink the side of my coffee cup and say, "I have an announcement to make!" And then I proceed to say something silly about what we're going to do that day. It's my way of starting each day fresh. I couldn't do the announcement this morning after she told me that you weren't doing well. We just finished watching your video this evening. Tomorrow I'll get back to making my announcement to our imaginary audience. I'll include you in my announcement. Something perhaps like, "Dr. Dan has inspired me to be the best I can be ... because he's the best he can be."
My wife is back home in Canada visiting her sick mother ( we are in Italy) but you made miss and appreciate our morning coffee.Thanks ……oh but I cannot wait to wake up beside her again. Thanks for the wake-up call and giving me a new positive outlook today.
What a lovely message. Respect. Encouraging to read an honest, decent, supportive message to this man. I have an announcement, “ there are still decent people in this world.”
if, IF, IF this is your last video, I'll miss your eternal optimism, good humor, intelligent enquiring scientific brain, you're one of the nicest people I have EVER witnessed in my 59 years on this planet.....you will NEVER be forgotten by those who have taken time to get to know you, you indeed have a very worthy legacy my friend, I wish you peace and a wonderful life, whether it be here with us or on another plain........
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I pray that you know Jesus. With Him you will definitely be in a better place. The world will miss your gentle spirit
A message to the trolls: from the bottom of my heart, I hope Dan managed to collect at least a couple million dollars in donations, and nothing would make me happier if, with that money, his mother and immediate family are able to travel the world and visit all the places her son didn't and won't be able to. I never donated, but the trolls finally convinced me, and as reason of payment I will write: "To be used for travel, gambling or to enjoy the finer things in life". Life must be enjoyed, while it lasts! Thanks Dan for your many lessons!
I'm going to have to agree with you, and there is a Sharon below your comment who also makes a good point. I think now it would be fantastic if there were millions made. Dr. Dan did have wishes of travel ,writing a book ,building a cabin etc... I think after all the necessary unfortunate costs are made. After what his family have been through ,including graciously updates to us. I think Dr. Dan would get great pleasure if through money donated, they could travel and do some of the things he didn't have time for. Great idea!! Also I agree Sharon once the money is given, it's a gift. Nobody's business how it is spent. So you both have widened my perspective on it also. So I thank you both. I only hope Panda Mama and family do see what you put down.
@@CV78202 I have deleted my reply. This is not the time or place for discord . We are here for the sole purpose of offering love , support, prayers and gratitude to Dr.Dan and his family. ❤ Let us strive to honor the Panda perspective 💕 🙏 🫂
I've also never, ever donated to anything like this before, including Gofundmes, but have done so for Dan because, after being the carer for and seeing 2 family members with cancer to the end within the last decade, I recognize the enormous need and want to pay him back for all the good he's put out into the world. Thanks to the trolls - especially this pitiful Liz character - for lighting the fire under my seat to do it as it ultimately benefits Dan and his family. Think I'll go visit PP for another installment today the family can use for whatever they want or need.
@CV78202 - Love it! My grandmother always used to give us gifts with strings attached (on how money was to be spent, and she had to come with us, etc.). My uncle (her son), being the jokester that he was would do the opposite and place ‘positive strings’ on it. Usually the card would say something like ‘the money must be spent on something totally wasteful and indulgent’ lol 😂
Please go to Dr. Dan's mom's update just an hour or two ago. The biggest troll (that individual is a pure psychopath as far as I'm concerned!!!) is forcing his mom to close the PayPal account and interrogating his kind mom relentlessly about the money. Absolutely evil, disgusting, despicable, and vile!!!!
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Bockmann, Dan was a pleasure to watch on TH-cam. Always so bright, positive and cheerful. He had a beautiful message along with a wonderful smile. Deepest sympathy to Dan’s family, friends and the Panda Family.
An absolute masterclass on mindfulness, love, flowing, being in the moment, and gratitude. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found you, Dr. Dan. You are one stunningly beautiful human being.
@@DrDanSays you’ve inspired me today more than you know to keep going and not give up. 😘got tears about your log cabin, I can see it on the hill. Thank you for giving so much when you have every reason not to.
Dan, this world will be a better place because you were in it. As a fellow Doctor of Chiropractic, you have been a phenomenal ambassador for our profession. Your patients will never forget your kindness and empathy.
I just saw that Dr Dan passed away at July 22nd, 2024. He will always be remembered. He beat cancer. The latter doesn't have food to feed on, and it died. Dan became an angel, looking at us from above. Condolences to all his family members, may they live a long life in order to remember him for all their time on this Earth.
Always amazed by people facing imminent death and keeping a good attitude and pleasant demeanor. Worrying and fretting will not add 1 hour to your life. I’m certain death is not the end.
Dear sweet Dr. Dan, I’m writing this through tears. 😔Thank you for providing us with an update, we don’t want this to be “goodbye” and we all hope and pray for a miracle to see you again soon. You are one special human being and I feel so honored to have come across your videos years ago - you will NOT be forgotten! Thank you for everything! Sending so much love, hugs and prayers to you and your family. We love you.♥️🙏♥️
You are not “just a guy on the Internet”. You have reached tens of thousands of “Pandas” with your never-ending positivity. I’ve never seen anything like it. God has you in the palm of His hand with a love we cannot even fathom on this earth. He will never leave you or forsake you. Peace to you and your family. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers. And thank you for the PT videos you made and freely shared. What a blessing you have been. ❤
Dr Dan, I am a 22 years old living with severe health anxiety. You are the person who has taught me about the beauty of life despite its shortcomings, love from Canada! I will always remember you, and you will always live within my heart!
I live with it as well at 37. Much agreed. Typing through tears. Can I just say, unrelated- my best friend who moved away is from Canada. I miss her saying “out,” “about,” “eh,” etc the way you guys do. Hugs from PA❤
Dr Dan, I want you to know you have changed my life 3 different times in the last decade. The first time was in 2015. I met you after I injured my back at the gym. I was in so much pain it was hard to walk. You worked with me for weeks and weeks to rehab my back injury. By the time we were done working together my pain was completely gone. The second time was years later in 2021. Because of the pandemic I had been working from home and that once again wrecked my back to the point that I was in constant pain. This time when you worked with me you gave me the tools to fix this instance as well as other back problems in the future. The third time you changed my life was when you started sharing your cancer journey. I had started to get black pilled looking at the state of the world. The way you so completely embrace the best parts of life despite your struggles was eye opening to me. Sharing your journey helped inspire me to pull out of that dark spiral. Thank you so much for all you've done for me. Everyday I live without back pain is because of you.
That was beautiful! I'm so happy your back pain is gone, but the most beautiful part is Dr. Dan helping change your outlook on life! We could all use a more positive outlook.
Life is so strange. This man was seemingly in very good shape and deals with this while other people abuse the hell out of their bodies and live into their 90's.
Life isn't fair is the message I have received. We aren't promised more time even when practice "healthy" behaviors. This isn't a license to eat poorly and beat the hell out of your body, but many do and live well into 80's and 90's so no guarantees of anything. I am late to finding this channel, but this fellow is very kind and inspirational. Fortunately, I fully believe in life after death and while I still have a lot of living I want to do, I know what is waiting for me on other side.
50+ years ago cancer was affecting like 1 in 10. It was rare. Now is 1 in 4. Approximately in 10-20 years from now, 1 in 2 will have cancer. DNA? No, not with this rate. People think they have healthy lifestyle. Nope. Red meat and cholesterol are healthy, sodium is healthy. People follow this nonsensical nutritional advice present in media and they die in greater numbers each year. This fact cannot be denied.
Dr. Dan is a good dude. He helped me with my lower back around 2011 and it was my first real lowerback scare. He and I use to chat on the phone talking about the lowerback and what I can do when it flares up. He told me to call him whenever it got bad and it got scary. And I did just that, he chatted with me after coming back from some gala and I could literally hear him going through his front door and he kept chatting with me. Dan is a good dude. Will forever be a good dude.
Dr Dan, THIS is your victory speech❤️ You are a true warrior! You’ve handled your cancer diagnosis and recovery journey with such courage, grace, strength, and determination. You’ve shown us by your example to choose and hang on to the good stuff, forget the bad, brace ourselves and carry on with life’s challenges with kindness, empathy, compassion and a winning smile. We are in awe of you and your stubbornness to cling to hope and to what is good. We will never forget you, and in your name will continue to be pandas in our own lives. We thank you and we love you so much!
My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in April 2017. He passed in July 2020. Before he left me temporarily, I asked him to send me pennies from Heaven, but they had to be heads up. Two months later, I found one in my driveway. After that, it was sporadic but in odd places. I know for sure he's cancer free and being his naughty self, pranking people, etc. I pray 🙏 for you that you find peace and comfort knowing we all care.❤
Just stop by to hear his voice. Shortly after Dr Dan passed we got the miracle news that my dad who also has stage 4 colon cancer and has done chemo and immunotherapy is cancer free. Doctor's were truly surprised. I began following because of my dad's diagnosis. Both diagnosed about the same time...my dad is much older though.
I am a man in my mid 40s. I watch Dr. Dan's videos to try and become a better person, kinder, less bitter when I have much to be thankful for. What a gentle soul Dr. Dan has. He is a very good man!
John (his brother) informed us on X that Dan died at 5:08 p.m Central time. Rest in Peace Dan, you were a fighter and a wonderful soul. A lot of love to John and the rest of the family
I just stumbled on this page and have been drawn into his story. I am astounded by Dan’s outlook on life and on death. He left a monumental legacy to the world. Rest In Peace, Dan. Prayers and love to his family. What a day that will be, when I’m able to see you in Heaven.👑❤
Now Dr. Dan's Mom and Dad, brothers and any other family who are there need time to process what they have been through with Dr. Dan. Personally, I feel sort of empty now that he has passed. And I never met him! By some chance I happened to watch his first video about his cancer. I was impressed by his attitude and subscribed to his channel. So I have been here since the start of this journey. Condolences to all of us. We feel the loss.
@@leslieewing9088 absolutly agree. I was on the care giving side 8 years ago and the healing process takes a long time. After all those years i am still processing
Old friend of mine, Ram Dass, helped pioneer the hospice movement back in the seventies. We're very fortunate to live in an age where we can spend our final days in dignity, care, and love, unlike people in our society in the past. Much love for your journey ahead. ❤
Thanks for that tidbit. I didn’t know that was something Ram Dass’ was a part of. Though now that you mention it, it makes complete sense…. Based on the couple handful of talks of his I’ve listened to.
Dear Dr. Dan, I'm praying that today, 5 days after this vlog was released you find yourself calm and comfortable. I loved watching your vlogs helping me with aches and pains, different exercises and stretches that helped me as I work in a hospital and stand and run around all day. You are a blessing. Thank you for all your excellent work and love for caring for others. I know that even in this tough fight you have helped so many. You are an angel and a warrior on this earth. May our dear Lord keep you blessed and hold you close as he has been all this time.🙏❤️
Indeed, the protons that make up the nucleus of the atoms of this man were created 14 billion years ago. They will soon be used for something else , recycling for eternity.
What a lovely man. He has an amazing attitude to this journey. He sees the joy in everything. What an example. Brave , courageous and gentle. Watching from Ireland. Just seen in the comments that he has passed. He is an inspiration to us all. Love.from the Emerald Isle.
This guy is an iron man with his positivity reaching end of life. We’re all terminal, and Dan has provided a masterpiece in how to reach the end with an amazing grace.
Dan! Just wanted to say that, as a 27 years old woman with a huge fear of death and disease, you changed my way of thinking life and its meaning. I really appreciate you and you're an amazing person who deserved so much more time in this world. Much love!
It’s good to get around to embracing that you are mortal, even at 27. Dying is a scary thought, but it must happen. A man like this shows the way. Die with dignity and enjoy what you have, while you have it. It isn’t long for any of us whether it’s 21 or 101.
@David-cm4ok There is no 'right' way to die. We all like to think we will die with dignity, like Dan, but if someone is dying and cries, breaks down and freaks out, then that's OK with me too. Dan's positivity and calmness is certainly admirable, that's for sure.
How many in the panda fam are going back and rewatching his videos? I am making my way through them! He was always so strong and positive, I have not seen one time when he wasn't anything but a bright light. What a legacy he is leaving behind. Dr. Dan is an example of how nothing is more powerful, has more lasting impact, than kindness. ❤❤🐼🐼
Dan… as the daughter of a chiropractor, wife of a chiropractor, sister of a chiropractor, sister in law of a chiropractor, and aunt of 3 chiropractors, I can truly say you are a light and inspiration to the profession! ❤God bless you.
My mom died from lung cancer. She fought it 4 years, with dignity and class. Never once feeling bad for herself, and always smiling. I never saw someone die with such grace and dignity until Dr dan.
*UPDATE SATURDAY, 7/13/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 Dan had a comfortable day today. First of all, I’ll tell you what I did first thing this morning. I looked in the mirror, smiled at myself, and said, “God, I can’t wait to see what miracles you have for me today!” (I read that somewhere once. I mean, how silly and naive is that?! 🤭). Now I report what happened next, verbatim. Dan said, "How long has this been going on?" I said, "A couple of days." He said, "What happened? I seemed to take a big decline." I said, "We think you had a stroke." He said, "Oh, that resolves a lot of my questions." I said, "Are you thirsty?" He said, "Yes." (Rita, you will laugh to know I burned the toast to cinders, yet again…’cause I rushed in to hear what Dan was saying. Blame it on my ADHD. 😅) The hospice nurse previously said he was to have nothing by mouth, because he didn’t remember how to drink and swallow. I checked again and she said to try him on sips, and he handles sips. Am I saying he is miraculously healed? Of course not. But he later told me his heel hurt, so I floated his heels on a pillow and put cream on his feet. Any mother would be grateful to know anything she can do to help her child feel better, and I am! I am waiting on God. My expectation is from God. I have quieted myself as a weaned child, as the Psalmist says. “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him,” as Job said. I will “in everything give thanks,” as the epistle says. But wait, there’s more…. Okay, I can’t tell you more than, next to Dan, this is the biggest thing in my life I have prayed for for *years,* with no glimmer of hope on the horizon, well, today it happened, right out of a blue sky. And those of you who prayed for my “silent request,” thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am overwhelmed with gratitude today. Plus, Dan seemed to have some actual Panda-type enjoyment. How cool is that? 😍🐼😍 The day was even fuller than that, but it’s late, so I’ll save that for another time. 🥱 I’d tell you to do the thing I did this morning, but I’m warning you, you have to let go of expectations, or your felt sense of lack will shoot you in the foot. You have to look for the cool miracles with a microscope sometimes, but if you are grateful for the tiny things you usually overlook, it kind of primes the pump. Anyway I know so many of you will feel so bad if we “lose” Dan. I’m here to tell you that you never lose anyone you love, whether they live or pass to the Beyond. Dan made me “pinky promise” that I would stay happy if he left, because he was looking forward to to new adventures. I said, well, I’ll cry, and be very sad for awhile, but I’ll know you are safe and happy, and that’s what a mother wishes most for her children. So pinky promise you will be happy, too, if you can. If you can’t, that’s okay, too. 🤗 All the best to all of you. I wish I could answer all of you-you are an embarrassment of Panda love! Don’t ever be ashamed of loving someone. Okay? You get to decide if someone means something to you. ❤️🐼
Ooh la la, how beautiful! Salutations, Dr. Dan. Indeed, per John, there is no fear in love, perfect love casts out fear. "Trust in the Lord with all you heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6. Peace.
@tiamorar Blessings and amen to you, Dr. Dan and your loving mom and dad and panda family.❤We understand the love we have for our children just as God loves his children. I’m So very happy to hear our prayers are answered, and Dr. Dan is feeling Gods love for him.❤
Oh Dan.... Selfishly, my heart hurts. I held out such hope that you were going to beat this and end up stronger than ever. I'll continue to pray for you and your amazing family. Thank you for being such a great example of strength and dignity. God bless you.
Dan once said “ I am going to live every day like I’m going to be 90 years old “, such an inspirational guy! He is leaving us soon, but I know l will continue visiting his podcast like visiting an old friend who is going to live to 90 years old! ❤️😊
I thought I'd share the last words of Brian Sweeney with you. He was a passenger onboard United 175, one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on 9/11. "Jules, this is Brian. Listen, I'm on an airplane that's been hijacked. If things don't go well, and it's not looking good, I just want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, go have good times. Same to my parents and everybody, and I just totally love you, and I'll see you when you get there." You'll see us when we get there, Dr Dan
That message was not from the guy on the plane that hit the world trade center! That was a message from a man that was on the plane that was hijacked that went down in the fields on the way to crash into the Pentagon
I'm calling it: The Dan Effect. Dr. Dan, so many people you have permanently changed with your love, me among them. We are changed, and the lives we touch moving forward mean that the effects of you sharing your love and wisdom are Exponential. The Dan Effect has altered the trajectory of our human experience. Thank you, and Love!
I was a nurse for 35 years including hospice care. I think gratefulness is one of the best things we can learn in this life. I learned from my hospice patients how to see life differently and better than I did before. I am 72 years old and know that time is short now but have no fear of death and what is to come after death. You are a blessing to everyone you have shared your story with, it helps more than you know. The world needs this right now.
Thank you for being a nurse, an earthly angel of care. Nurses' are the best and kindest people! I am grateful of all the wonderful nurses I've had over the years.
I’m also a 72 year old RN. I was diagnosed with lymphoma yesterday. I believe that my experience in oncology will help me. It certainly helped me make some major decisions in my life.
I always think about what Elizabeth Edwards said when a reporter asked her if she was afraid of dying. She said with a chuckle “ we are all going to die, i just know what I’m going to die of”. Those of us who are not sick don’t have life guaranteed.
@@martymartin2894 what are you talking about, I’m just quoting a wife of a senator who died of brain cancer. Her words ring true, It’s us healthy people who have the great unknown of death, she knew her fate many of us DONT.
Your sharing means you touched the future, helped others, and have transcended beyond the here and now. Bless your heart. Take strength as you step forward.
I’m writing this the day after Dan went to heaven. Today I realize to me this is like a therapy session from Dan to me. I can come back and let Dan talk to me whenever I need to hear him. That is amazing to me listening to him now knowing he’s in heaven in his new strong healthy heavenly body living his best eternal life in his cabin he dreamed of. I love and miss you Dan. I’ll be back to listen to you again soon.😢
Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep-
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry-
I am not there,
I did not die.
Thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful
I am forever grateful that you touched my life Dr Dan and I will be watching your chanel and keep praying for you and your family. You are loved and special❤
❤❤❤❤
Lovly Daniel ❤🇸🇪🌞
Dans brother John posted this a little bit ago - Hi, friends. I'm sad and relieved to say that Dan died at 5:08 p.m. Central / 6:08 p.m. Eastern yesterday evening. Utter peace. Mom, Dad, me, and a friend (who happened to be bringing us food at the time) holding him as he gradually stopped breathing. We bathed him and dressed him in dark gray pants and his pink (Friday) scrub top. I washed his hair and styled it. He looks really handsome and even has a smirk.
We'll have a memorial in Austin, this weekend if possible, and will keep you posted.
Sad news, will keep Dan my heart and thoughts 🐼❤
sending hugs,love,prayers for you all xoxoxo
Thank you for sharing. 😢 God has secured an amazing angel! Prayers up for all of Dan’s family and friends, including us.🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹🥹💕
@@msaunsha Your Welcome!
My heart is broken. Loved listening to this wonderful man. Blessings all.🙏❤️
*UPDATE FRIDAY 7/12/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 Dr. Dan is resting comfortably with the meds the hospice doctor has him on. We are so thankful for that. And, today our nurse, who is just cool to hang out with, untangled a huge issue we were having, that was costing Dan’s dad and I sleep. Without these people, there would just be no way to cope. And all of you are such a fantastic encouragement, for us. So much to be thankful for.
Dan wasn’t able to speak intelligibly yesterday, but today he said several short sentences. It was so good to hear his sweet voice saying, “What time is it, mom?” Never take the little things for granted. And, I wanted to tell you that on the Fourth of July, the apartment complex had a pool party, and the pool is just through the trees from Dan’s balcony. When he heard the music, he started whistling along. Oh, my heart….💙
God bless you all, you are wonderful.
❤️🤗🙏🐼❤️
So happy to hear you treasure these little, everyday things, but they also mean so, so much ❤❤
Dan is a ray of sunshine, he is one of those people who make the world so much better ❤
Love you guys ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness now my heart is melting hearing this!!! Thank you mom Panda!!! I am so pleased you can all get some peaceful sleep. He can still speak and whistle 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐼🐼🐼🐼that is the sweetest thing I have heard in a while!!! God bless all of you❤❤❤❤
@@tiamorar Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I discovered Dr. Dan.. not long ago, however I’ve used his videos library to relieve back and shoulder pain, please let him know that his videos have helped me.. despite his current situation he’s still helping people… praying for conform and healing. ❤️🩹 🐼
It is good to know that all is well with your soul. “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven... To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 and 7). God bless us all. Peace.

Time passes by crazy fast! Life goes on as Dan's family moves through their grief. There are so many others dying from cancer. Amazing to me that there is no cure.

*UPDATE TUESDAY, 7/9/24:* The wonderful hospice nurses helped Dan through a severe headache and he feels good and able to sleep, now. So grateful! 🙏 An electric hospital bed will be delivered tomorrow, supplied by hospice. Being able to adjust it will make Dan more comfortable. 👍
We are not offended by anyone asking for updates, sharing their strongly-held faith, or their suggestions for Dan, *ever.* Srsly!
You’re all wonderful and amazing, and we thank you for your kind concern! You’re the best, all of you-of all faiths and healing persuasions!

If there were anyone who did not deserve to go through this, it is him. All of you, as always, are in my thoughts. Much love and peace 🕊️ ❤️🐼 - Kimberly
Hospice nurse here. There is a beginning and and end to everyone's life. No one knows their date but everyone has one. We will all get there. See you on the other side.
@@Woudloper If it's so obviously false, why do atheists exhaust so much of their energy arguing with people about it? I'm Catholic but I don't waste my time debating anyone who believes in leprechauns. I think everyone knows God and an afterlife exist, but it terrifies some people. The good news is, God's a loving God.
@@eatgrass123 The delusional belief in otherworldly beings - and there have been many thousands since the dawn of human consciousness - is 'exhausting' to clear-thinking people for the simple reason that it's infinitely easier to kick the can down the road, with nonsense talk such as 'a better place', than to make the changes we need to make - and absolutely CAN make - to reduce the suffering that is all around us. And by the way, what good has the Catholic Church ever manifested on this planet for as long as its ridiculous dogmas have been in place?
@@Woudloper what happens after you die aligns with your spiritual, religous and personal beliefs. It does not have to align with mine or anyone elses. Ask yourself about what *you* believe happens when you die. There is your answer
@@Woudloperu say that healthy not on your deathbed I'm sure it will change when u are going out. U say a god is ridiculous have u seen science it's just as "ridiculous" black holes that's no more than jesus on a toast pareidolia the picture I seen scientists says a black hole I see a ring and they literally cant prove me wrong. I believe in science it just I've experienced things I cant explain with science.
@@eatgrass123I think the idea of god and heaven and hell would be insane to someone who has never been religious.
*UPDATE THURSDAY 7/11/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 Right now, Dan is sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed in his living room, thanks to the wonderful care he is receiving from hospice, which seems to hire angels on furlough from Heaven. Dan is declining precipitously, but hospice is taking care of him, and us, in such a way that it smooths the rough road so much for all involved. Trying to take care of Dan without them is unimaginable. Even though, as of today, Dan cannot speak, he gave his nurse and PCS that wonderful smile of his several times as they were caring for him.
I cannot thank you all enough for your prayers, encouragement and sharing. As someone in the comments said, this community has restored my faith in humanity.
Please know that you have helped Dan so much, and that he has all he needs, and that we are so grateful. 🙏
Dan is a born peacemaker, and I hope that in addition to his helping so many with their rehab needs, that his legacy will also include adding just a little more harmony to the lives of those he has touched. I know that is at the top of his wish list.
❤️🐼🕊️🤗❤️
Good night Dr. Dan, good night all you wonderful angels, good night moon. Psalm 121:8 “The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever”. Peace.
❤🥰
Thank you , Dan's mom , for the update. He has a special gift for inspiring people with his grace in the face of adversity. . I will miss his kind , cheerful voice with the infectious laugh and his beautiful smile ❤ I hope that Dan and you who are there with him can feel the love that we are sending your way. 🙏💕🫂
Shalom, sister. God bless you and your wonderful family. I pray now, and will continue to do so for healing for all of you. Dr. Dan is loved.
Dr Dan’s smile and internal joy is something that we will all treasure. Sending love and light to Dr Dan and his family. ❤️🙏🐈🌟
I hate what cancer does to people. Rest in peace, Dr. Dan.
It will always somehow find a way to get through and is so tragically random, that is the most terrible thing about cancer...
@@JaJcasHe was such a vibrant, healthy looking and positive guy. Last person I would have thought would get cancer. Very random.
I hate what chiropractic does to people, this man has made so many peoples lives worse throughout his career as a fake doctor, it's wild that he didn't die in prison like all chiropractors should.
@@oBCHANo Keep all your sh!t for yourself instead of spreading hate against this person. Stop being so resentful and miserable.
Scam sympathizing dog.
*UPDATE SATURDAY 7/6/24:* Dr. Dan had a more comfortable day today with the new medication his doctor prescribed. He was hoping for a rainy day, and got his wish as we enjoyed Movie Night with National Geographic.
He is diminishing in strength, but remains appreciative, gentle and peaceful.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”
All the best to all of you.

THANK YOU.
First of all, Dan is still with us, though very ill. ❤️ Second of all, thank you all for your kind sharing to keep Dan in Austin, as he so wanted. You have been incredibly kind and we are immensely grateful. I ask that you *not* send any more donations, as your labor of love has been effective, but is no longer needed. We will be closing the PayPal account as soon as possible, but until then, please know that you helped and rest in that. Much love.

Amen! Do consider speaking to the oncologist about Compassionate Access route to repurposed medicines outside of clinical trials. All the best.
Thank you for the note, Mama 🐼 . We love you and continue to wrap you, Dan, and his loved ones in light, love, and peace.🫂
Thank you for the update, sending much love 💜
Thank you for your kind words, everyone. 💕And if you would please do me the favor of referring others to my comment above about Dan being very ill, and my serious request that no more donations be sent, I would appreciate it so much. Two charities very close to our hearts are Tracey Cline’s Rescue Texas and Alain Ferry’s Race Cancer Foundation. Both are wonderful people with hearts of gold doing compassionate work passionately. We love them. May their tribe increase. ❤❤❤
Just came on here to see if Dan was still with us. I love you Dan, we all do, you were a ray of sunshine. I hope your parents watch these videos and read our comments in tough times. You both raised an amazing son. What a beautiful family. Dan lives on in our hearts and minds. I will think of him and smile.
My husband had colon cancer and lost his battle on November 27,2020. He said if he would have had more time he would have written a book titled “Cancer is the Best Thing that has Happened to Me”. It made him view life differently and see all the blessings most don’t see.
He lost his life here on earth but gained his eternal life with Jesus!
Praise God Darlene!! We will meet your sweet husband & you in heaven! I pray Dr Dan is saved in Jesus!!!
I can’t believe how resistant everyone is to the idea/reality/notion of God & the afterlife -Christ Jesus showing up during all of the near death experiences SEEMS like proof enough - that Jesus defeats death & facilitates our transition/right standing with God 🥺 please if you’re reading this - please take time to look into Colton Burpo , Dr Eban Alexander - or the dozens of Muslim testimonies encountering Jesus. Please while there is still time.
N@@michelleduncan9965AMEN Michelle. Let's keep him in prayer. He said his dad had obligations at the church, so, hopefully, he has heard the gospel. It's ALL about Jesus.
HEBREWS 9:27..... It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgement.
Sorry for your loss
amen
UPDATE SUNDAY, 7/13/24: Dr. Dan had a sleepy day, surrounded by lots of love, with his brother from Tennessee here for the week, and others as well. His nurses are very good problem solvers.
All the best to all of you. ❤
Thank you , Dan's Mom. ❤ Such a blessing that Dr.Dan is surrounded by those who love him. Sending love and praying for you all . Please take care.

@tiamorar Thank you, thank you 🙏😇
Thank you for the update - sending love ❤️
Sending love, strength and prayer to Dan’s family, including Miss Vanilli. ❤🙏🐼🐈
*UPDATE MONDAY 7/8/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 So many are inquiring every day about Dan, which is so kind, so I’ll just keep briefly checking in with you here, to hopefully save you scrolling through so many comments to find out how he is. Dr. Dan is staying more comfortable with his new medication. He sleeps pretty well at night, and is sleepier during the day. He has developed some jaundice, according to his nurse. The brain issues are requiring the most adjustment right now-motor control, eye-hand coordination, ability to focus. His set point is acceptance of things as they come, but he definitely wants to captain his own ship, as always, so, go Dan!
🫡💕
🐼
Praying for comfort and peace. 🙏🏻💕
Love you dr dan. ❤️ love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
@tiamorar Hi Ms. Tia! I know you are lockstep in this journey with your son, and I want to thank you tremendously for taking time with everything happening to keep us updated on his condition. Sending Dr. Dan and your family, continuous prayers, positive vibes, hugs, and love along this virtual highway 🙏🏽 ❤️
You have a purpose driven life ❤️🙏.
*UPDATE MONDAY 7/15/24:* Hello, everyone! 🤗 (Okay, it’s Tuesday as of 2 minutes ago, but play along with me here, okay? 🙃) Dan had a good day, and is sleeping soundly. 🙏 We’ve had such a happy last couple of days, in fact. Someone told me to keep standing in front of the mirror and doing that “silly, naive” thing I told you about a couple of days ago. Good advice! Welp, I did! (Ducking for incoming mortars. 🙀). I’d love to tell you all about it, but sleep deprivation in the elderly is a serious problem in this country, so I’ll give you a few brief snippets.
Beautiful Tracey came to visit from Houston. 🥰 Dan recognized her voice, opened his eyes and smiled! 🎉 She brought a scrumptious care package of spa products to share with me, Jessica and Dan, too!
John gave Dan a meticulous shave, and other facial upgrades, and Dan looked like a new man! 👍 John did some swashbuckling other things for Dan that gave Helicopter 🐼 Mom some concern, but worked out fine.
(Not as much concern as when John was flying Black Hawk missions to the mountainous regions of Pakistan delivering emergency supplies after the disastrous floods of 2011.) (My kids. They love to buckle their swashes. 😅)
Sweet Jessica came and rearranged Dan’s bed so he could see his beautiful balcony view. Then she and John risked life and limb hanging a hummingbird feeder where Dan could see it. Sweet! 🦤 (Imagine that’s a humming bird, please.)
Four of Dan’s volleyball bros showed up en masse and told outrageous stories on Dan. What?! 😮
His mindful nurse came and pronounced his vitals golden, as usual. As she left she said, “I’ll see you tomorrow,” and he replied with his tried-and-true nurse rejoinder, “I’ll wait right here for you.” 😄
His stunning friend and mentee, who shadowed him at his office for a long time, came, and had tears in her eyes upon first seeing him, but soon joined in the family conversation and was a delight. When she left, Dan called out, “You’re wonderful!”
Dan’s old friend from Dallas, who did a “Pain Free After 50” video series with Dan, dropped by and regaled us with stories of gratuitous privileges bestowed on him by genetic virtue of his being a dead ringer for George W. Bush. 😂
And I can’t leave out Dan’s brother Mark, who faithfully works on everything I ask him to and takes a huge load off my mind. THANK YOU, Mark! ❤️
When John prayed with Dan and started to leave for the night, Dan told him, “I had a loving time.” 🥰
There’s lots more, but…
The End. 😴👋
❤️🐼🤗🙏❤️
@@tiamorar i know there's a trove of material on here, but i wonder if videoing some of these encounters you describe might be of value to you in the future. Just a thought.
❤❤❤
Sounds like a deservedly deeply loving day was had by all. Loving thoughts and good wishes for a restful and rejuvenating sleep being sent to you all. God bless you Dan and family/friends 😴 🙏🏻❤🐼
@tiamorar. Thank you so much for sharing with us ❤ Sounds like there was an abundance of love and laughter and great memories today. As always , sending prayers and all my love to Dr.Dan , his family and friends. Forever a grateful member of Team Panda
❤ 🐼 😊 ❤
Your wonderful updates are very much appreciated, thank you x
I'm very sorry to hear Dr Dan.
My wife has Stage 4 Breast Cancer, double mastectomy. Breast cancer cells in her left lung, and now 17 legions in her brain. We have 3 kids. This has been nearly 2 years of a shitty roller coaster. She was clear in March, lung happened in May, and Brain was last month. She is So Amazing and Strong.❤
I am so sorry😢 May GOD be with you. Lost my mom to same diagnosis a month ago. One feels helpless but I pray for your wife for a miracle.
Make sure she takes some ivermectin along with Mebendazole, it works wonders
Prayers and positive healing for your darling wife. I am a sister breast cancer survivor with neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer, a rare slow growing cancer. I am still fighting the good fight and have faith your wonderful wife will too.
Prayers and best wishes to her.
@@carmenbock1240 she sadly lost her battle with Cancer early Tuesday morning 29th October. We have 3 kids, 8, 5 and 3.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 2024: Hello, everyone. Dan has had a quiet, sleepy day. He saw his wonderful hospice nurse, and she explained many things in such a way as to put our minds at ease.
He is uncomfortable and fatigued, but rarely has actual pain, and he does gift us with that smile several times a day. 🙏
He still holds those seemingly opposite things in mind-all the projects and adventures he’d still dearly love to do here, and the reality of his diminishing powers and possible soon transition, which he has accepted, as have I.
The outpouring of love and concern that has continued for this family of “just folks” is difficult to fathom, but we are so grateful and encouraged by you all, and I pray that if you have received anything of value from Dan, you will continue in that, and that you will bless many others, as you have blessed us.
I send my prayers for those who are sick, and prayers and condolences for all who have suffered loss. I am so sorry.
God bless you all.
Thank you so , so much for sharing with us in such a difficult time for your family. Dan has touched us in a special way and we are grateful for him.
Hoping and still praying for healing for him. ❤
@tiamorar
Thank you so much for the update, I've been thinking of him and checking for updates everyday, he is a wonderful human being, I'm so glad I was able to follow his journey, sending Love and prayers 🙏🙏
Thank you for the update. I was so hopeful for a better outcome. My prayers are with you all
Thank you for the update. May God bless Dan and his beloved family during this difficult time. He'll always be loved and never forgotten. 🙏💞
There are no words. I am profoundly grateful to you for sharing both Dr. Dan and these precious moments with us. 🐼💙🐼💙 Panda family forever. ✨
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 Dan. This is all out of our hands. There is a GOD and you’ll be blessed, no matter what. Trust.
@MD-ev3hm GOD BLESS YOU for this wonderful comment! ❤️
Your words are so important and true.
I can confirm from experience. ❤
It's beautiful on the other side isn't it? Some days I can't wait. There ARE a couple of things I want to accomplish before leaving here though but no fear here!
Jesus dying for you and me. It is a gift. You need to trust Jesus died for you. He loves you Dan.
Priceless 🙏
Dan, you're a class act. Wrapping up loose ends, comforting those around you, securing your legacy.
A life well lived. Thank you
@@CocoFabAmen!!! Amen!!!
Perfectly said!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
I agree, perfectly said. What a champion. He will not be forgotten.
So well said. I have so enjoyed watching Dan...he's so inspiring. ❤I will miss him. 😢

At his passing, he’s now cancer free and at peace…. God bless this man’s gentle soul. I hope that these videos help to inspire other cancer patients and families.
Amen to that.

Lost my 40 year old wife to liver cancer 2 years , she was the most beautiful and sweet person , she was super brave until the last breath , they waited too long at Moffitt cancer center and she never even got treatment, which could have bought us another year if they did act fast enough , she still live in my heart and the hearts of her 3 children.
I miss her soo much
Much love ,we all will have a similar conclusion, just another phase of life.
I'm so sorry for your loss. So very sorry.
I’m sorry for your loss, the peace of Christ be with you.🙏🏻
So sorry for your loss🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss. Science has to figure this out. Every cancer needs to be defeated.
This beautiful man that the world needs so much- I am old and wish I could do this for you
I'm not a religious person, but God if you are there, please take care of this good man. ❤️
God is Eternal, Omniscient and Omnipotent. He is preparing some of us for life, and some for ending of life. Only He knows which and who, and for what purpose. That is His purpose.
Most of all, God is Love. 🙏🧡🙏🧡🙏

Michael Myers? Is that you?
Did 30 yrs of ER/Trauma nursing. Upon retirement, I have now been a Hospice volunteer for 5 yrs. I maintain 6 - 10 clients that I visit with once a week and sit for vigils. It is more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Hospice is often times completely misunderstood. Wishing you comfort and peace of mind.
Thank you!!
I Could Have Used Your Expertise In August 2012.
You are right, in my past life I was an oncology nurse and often did Hospice. I always tell people hospice nursing by far was the most rewarding experience I had while a nurse. I have considered many times opening hopsice facilities and may very well do so in the future.
You are an absolute angel
We had hospice for my dad in 1985 from cancer. They were a God send. Bless you for doing this ❤😂😂❤
He beat cancer in the end. Nothing could keep this man down. An example to us all about finding the positivity in everything.
When he died the cancer died too, so minimum it's a draw. RIP ❤️
If he beat cancer by killing the cancer by his death, the cancer won by making him die. He definitely did not win maybe a tie.
@@tristanmason7405 nah he won and the cancer died. You are negative as shit for what bro? You need to sort yourself out.
Good job Tristan. 🎉🎉🎉@@tristanmason7405
Absolutely. Cancer is gone completely, Dan crossed to a higher dimension, became a lightworker there. I know he is guiding us still ❤
Dr. Dan, people will come back to this channel for years in admiration for the way you handle this and how much you have taught about life along the way.
Absolutely, we are pandas
Amen
True ❤
I agree. Dan's journey will resonate with many.
So true
I haven't seen someone square up with death with such composure and positivity like Dan. There is literally no one like him. Life throws cancer and Dan turns it into piercing authenticity and self-realization. Stud no matter what.
Well said
@@ChadBest-ug8uo Thank-you, brother. May you cherish every sandwich.
🎯Every word Matt.
*I no longer eat bread, but I'll be cherishing what goes between it~ appreciate the reminder.
I totally agree Matt. Well said. Dr. Dan has helped so many people with his transparency and honesty.
Dr. Dan is an amazing soul.
*UPDATE WEDNESDAY, 7/10/24:* Dan is much more comfortable in his new bed, and it makes things so much easier. 👍 His amazing hospice Personal Care Specialist was able to get him freshened up and feeling so much better, even though his mobility and ability to help are much diminished. Anyone who can do what she did has my admiration-that’s a real skill-and I heard cheerful conversation happening too!
😊🙏
Dan felt headachey and not hungry much of the afternoon today, and so is just hanging out, resting. Ice pack & meds helped headache, thankfully.
Until tomorrow, all the best to all of you.
🥱🤗❤️
Thank you so, so much for the update! I am happy to hear that Dr. Dan is more comfortable in his new bed, is getting ice pack and medication for his headache, and has such great hospice support. Hope he and you and everyone there have a peaceful and restful evening and night. Thank you again for your daily updates. Love to all of you - from Cedar Hill, Texas. ♥🐼♥
Thank you Momma Panda. Never met you, but love you so much for all you continue to do for Dan and us Panda Family. Please have a good night. ❤️🐼❤️
Thank you as always for sharing with us how Dan is doing. ❤
Grateful that he is mostly comfortable and not in too much pain. Thinking of you all and praying for comfort and strength 🙏 💕 May God bless and keep you .
Would it be possible for me to come visit in the next week or so? Or would this be too much of an imposition? The last thing I would want to do is make anything more difficult for you or Dan. Even if I saw him for just a few minutes, that would be enough. Just love him so much! Let me know what you think.
I often wonder how your Family doesn't catch frost bite from hanging out with such a COOL dude. Thanks for the update! Your Family is in my thoughts. ❤ 💪🏼
Dr. Dan is still with us. The family will let you know if he is not. I wish everyone here all the best, no exceptions. I appreciate you all for what you bring. ❤
Thank you for the update. Dan has been in our thoughts. 🥰

💐🙏🏻RIP Dr. Dan Bockmann (passed away on July 22, 2024) (aged 54) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family.💐🙏🏻
My wife passed away on June 24,2023 from glioblastoma(aggresive brain tumor). I am not religious,but her death motivated me to begin to research the afterlife. As a result,I have become more spiritual in the past year. As a scientist,I was skeptical about the afterlife. I am now convinced that our consciousness/spirit/soul continues on after our body dies. Bruce Greyson,MD from the University of Virginia has studied near death experiences(NDEs)for over 40 years and wrote a book entitled "After". It is a great read for anyone interested in looking at the afterlife from a scientific standpoint. I do not fear death because I know that,although my body will die, I will never die.
Sorry for your loss
I ponder my existence. How in the H did I get here. Why am I existing on this sphere in the middle of the universe. It really blows the mind. Since the universe is so complex, there is something amazing in store for all of us. I cant explain it, but it exists. I truly believe you will reconnect with your wife on some level.
My sister had this at 50. Dead within a year.
This devastating loss of your wife gave you a purpose to discover more information about the afterlife. When my boyfriend was killed by a drunk driver one week after we graduated high school in 1972, and being told that there was nothing after death, it didn’t make sense and it filled me with such emptiness and despair . Then years later one brother had a TBI and was in a coma for a month and he had visions of a beautiful world beyond. my father died of cancer and five years later my brother died of cancer, I have read many books regarding after life, experiences of family members dealing with end stage loved ones and the seeking of answers continues. I feel strongly at this stage in my life that death is just another stage in the cycle of life, that there is something greater beyond.
I am very sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Hospice RN here. Dr Dan. You are right. Nothing is for sure. I have been fired many times by folks who just refused the plan and got better, despite medical efforts. You are a beautiful soul. Walk your path as is best for you. Your hospice team will be there to walk with you.
Beautifully put!
You are an inspiration by how you are sharing your personal journey. You are in my thoughts. I send you my ❤ to comfort you.😊 I will share your words. You have a great legacy 14:09
@oldnurse When we face end of life, we need to be told the truth. Despite how "good" we may appear, we are not "good". No one is good except God. We will all face our Maker. The only ones who go to Heaven are those who humbled themselves as little children and trusted in the free gift of Jesus' sacrificial death. Jesus paid a high cost for our eternal life. May Dr. Dan get to know Jesus before he takes his last earthly breath. His next encounter will be in front of God. Whoever reads this, please get to know Jesus. He loves you and wants you to spend eternity in the blessings of His presence and joy and favor!

Oh mama 🐼 I just woke up and my 1st thought (like most mornings)..."is he still with us?" And here you are, the sweetest messenger. 🫂
How awful for you to watch your beloved son suffer .. praying our Lord is comforting all of you and giving you His strength to get you thru this.. God Bless Dan ❤
UPDATE FRIDAY 6/28/24: Dr. Dan is feeling much better today, after a difficult night, the second in a week. He is up, enjoying food, and taking charge, as usual. 💪
He is definitely not ready to say how much longer he will be staying in Austin, and so his PayPal will remain, and I will honor his decision, of course.
He is one tough cookie, is all I can say.
💪🍪❤️🐼
Oh he is just the most amazing strongest person. It must be all of us here on utube and all his family and friends that are giving him the wind in his sails yay!!! I hope he is getting to see all these messages from the world!!!! Look how many of us 🎉❤Was listening to the song by Josh Groben " You raise me up" Sending all the strength and energy his way and to you and family mom Tia ❤❤
Thank you for the update, Mama 🐼❤❤
So glad to hear he is feeling better ❤
Dan is in my thoughts and his loved ones as well. Such a pure, wonderful person.

After dealing with my daily chronic pain for a year. I made an appointment to see a Dr Dan Bockmann and I’m so glad I did. You fixed my pain after only two sessions & gave me homework for life- I am forever in your debt.
Your legacy will always be here - you will always be here. We love you and are with you. Always. ❤
I’m. Glad to hear this. I have chronic pain from two artificial dis replacements. I hope to get relief one day. He seems so great and any of us would be lucky to have had a Dr like Dan!
Dr Dan, you are the epitome of courage, strength and I pray faith. I pray you know Jesus as your Savior. If you do death truly has lost its sting. Please don’t miss the chance to live all eternity in the presence of God creator of Heaven and earth.
I pray you feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the Peace that surpasses all understanding and comes from faith in Jesus Christ.
@@ninaishida8453absolutely agree with you on that. The most important message anyone can give is the message you sent to Dr Dan. Turning to THE LORD is the most important thing anyone can do.
Dan, I’m 24 y.o. biology student and I must admit that I love what you do for others. You bring so much love and joy in my life. I’ve been watching your videos since my car accident that resulted in two fractured vertebrae. I’ve been in pain ever since and your videos helped me tremendously. I’m not religious whatsoever and no one from my family is but yesterday I prayed for the first time in my life. I prayed for you. I wish for your days to be filled with joy and love, no pain no sorrow. I hope I will be able to meet you one day! Have a great day Dan (my favourite panda man).
This was beautiful. I am not religious either. I am just a born-again Christian. I don't belong to any sect. Just read the book of John and it will explain everything you wanted to know about everlasting life eternal life and how to obtain it Jesus Christ did it all for you there is nothing you can do to earn it just believe God bless you Lorena
So loving to pray for someone. God notices
Keep up those prayers! You’ll be glad you have a friend in Jesus!❤
Hello fellow biologist ❤
Amen!
Today I cried
Dr. Dan died
A stranger that I clicked on his cancer link
Really made me stop and think
He came across as thoughtful and kind
Having such a positive frame of mind
His smile was bright
We all wanted him to win the fight
His message was clear
I will no longer fear

In our hearts Dan will forever shine
Today there will be sorrow
But I’m sure Dr. Dan would want us to make the most out of tomorrow.

@@lulumoon6942 Yes!
God’speed, my friend.
I miss you Dr. Dan. Your positivity and strength is much to be admired. 💘
My wife told me that a notice popped up on her phone this morning that you had a new video to share. She said that you mentioned that it may be your last transmission. Every morning after I pour us both a cup of coffee, I clink the side of my coffee cup and say, "I have an announcement to make!" And then I proceed to say something silly about what we're going to do that day. It's my way of starting each day fresh. I couldn't do the announcement this morning after she told me that you weren't doing well. We just finished watching your video this evening. Tomorrow I'll get back to making my announcement to our imaginary audience. I'll include you in my announcement. Something perhaps like, "Dr. Dan has inspired me to be the best I can be ... because he's the best he can be."
So beautiful and meaningful....🌹
My wife is back home in Canada visiting her sick mother ( we are in Italy) but you made miss and appreciate our morning coffee.Thanks ……oh but I cannot wait to wake up beside her again. Thanks for the wake-up call and giving me a new positive outlook today.
❤ 🙏
What a lovely message. Respect. Encouraging to read an honest, decent, supportive message to this man. I have an announcement, “ there are still decent people in this world.”
That is awesome!
if, IF, IF this is your last video, I'll miss your eternal optimism, good humor, intelligent enquiring scientific brain, you're one of the nicest people I have EVER witnessed in my 59 years on this planet.....you will NEVER be forgotten by those who have taken time to get to know you, you indeed have a very worthy legacy my friend, I wish you peace and a wonderful life, whether it be here with us or on another plain........

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I pray that you know Jesus. With Him you will definitely be in a better place. The world will miss your gentle spirit

@@Tracie76 Hi Tracie, plz explain
A message to the trolls: from the bottom of my heart, I hope Dan managed to collect at least a couple million dollars in donations, and nothing would make me happier if, with that money, his mother and immediate family are able to travel the world and visit all the places her son didn't and won't be able to. I never donated, but the trolls finally convinced me, and as reason of payment I will write: "To be used for travel, gambling or to enjoy the finer things in life". Life must be enjoyed, while it lasts! Thanks Dan for your many lessons!
I'm going to have to agree with you, and there is a Sharon below your comment who also makes a good point.
I think now it would be fantastic if there were millions made. Dr. Dan did have wishes of travel ,writing a book ,building a cabin etc...
I think after all the necessary unfortunate costs are made. After what his family have been through ,including graciously updates to us.
I think Dr. Dan would get great pleasure if through money donated, they could travel and do some of the things he didn't have time for. Great idea!! Also I agree Sharon once the money is given, it's a gift. Nobody's business how it is spent.
So you both have widened my perspective on it also.
So I thank you both. I only hope Panda Mama and family do see what you put down.
@@CV78202 I have deleted my reply. This is not the time or place for discord . We are here for the sole purpose of offering love , support, prayers and gratitude to Dr.Dan and his family. ❤ Let us strive to honor the Panda perspective 💕 🙏 🫂
I've also never, ever donated to anything like this before, including Gofundmes, but have done so for Dan because, after being the carer for and seeing 2 family members with cancer to the end within the last decade, I recognize the enormous need and want to pay him back for all the good he's put out into the world. Thanks to the trolls - especially this pitiful Liz character - for lighting the fire under my seat to do it as it ultimately benefits Dan and his family. Think I'll go visit PP for another installment today the family can use for whatever they want or need.
@CV78202 - Love it! My grandmother always used to give us gifts with strings attached (on how money was to be spent, and she had to come with us, etc.). My uncle (her son), being the jokester that he was would do the opposite and place ‘positive strings’ on it. Usually the card would say something like ‘the money must be spent on something totally wasteful and indulgent’ lol 😂
Please go to Dr. Dan's mom's update just an hour or two ago. The biggest troll (that individual is a pure psychopath as far as I'm concerned!!!) is forcing his mom to close the PayPal account and interrogating his kind mom relentlessly about the money. Absolutely evil, disgusting, despicable, and vile!!!!
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Bockmann, Dan was a pleasure to watch on TH-cam. Always so bright, positive and cheerful. He had a beautiful message along with a wonderful smile. Deepest sympathy to Dan’s family, friends and the Panda Family.
Thank you, and all who are offering such kind condolences and love. May your love grow and envelop the whole world!
❤️🌎❤️
Thank you for posting this ❤❤
An absolute masterclass on mindfulness, love, flowing, being in the moment, and gratitude. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found you, Dr. Dan. You are one stunningly beautiful human being.
Eric, thank you for your kind words! You are in my heart, brother! ❤️❤️❤️
@@DrDanSays you’ve inspired me today more than you know to keep going and not give up. 😘got tears about your log cabin, I can see it on the hill. Thank you for giving so much when you have every reason not to.
Thank you for expressing so beautifully how I am feeling too. God bless you Dr. Dan!
Such a beautiful soul with grace and kindness. Bless you dear man...may peace and love follow you in you journey . God Bless You.❤ Stay Strong.
Bless you ❤
Dan, this world will be a better place because you were in it. As a fellow Doctor of Chiropractic, you have been a phenomenal ambassador for our profession. Your patients will never forget your kindness and empathy.
"Let's talk again soon. If not here, then on the other side." Yes sir, let's do that. I'm typing though tears. Much love and God be with you. ❤
I just saw that Dr Dan passed away at July 22nd, 2024. He will always be remembered. He beat cancer. The latter doesn't have food to feed on, and it died. Dan became an angel, looking at us from above.
Condolences to all his family members, may they live a long life in order to remember him for all their time on this Earth.
And he never complained. Whatever happens - I salute you, Dan!
Always amazed by people facing imminent death and keeping a good attitude and pleasant demeanor. Worrying and fretting will not add 1 hour to your life. I’m certain death is not the end.
As I think one should. Facing death puts things in perspective I'd imagine.. definite props to the good Dr.
Can I ask what makes u certain i would be interested to know if u have had some experience that makes you so certain.
@@martymartin2894Jesus will save you. The kingdom he speaks of is beautiful beyond imagination. You will be saved one day, I will pray for you.
Its not, you just go back to where you came from
This life is the dream that we wake up from.
Dear sweet Dr. Dan, I’m writing this through tears. 😔Thank you for providing us with an update, we don’t want this to be “goodbye” and we all hope and pray for a miracle to see you again soon. You are one special human being and I feel so honored to have come across your videos years ago - you will NOT be forgotten! Thank you for everything! Sending so much love, hugs and prayers to you and your family. We love you.♥️🙏♥️
Well said. ❤
So beautifully said. I choked.
We love you Dr Dan, you have made a difference ❤Time to fly on eagles wings and get your reward for a life well lived. Jesus loves you!!
Amen!
Revisiting & remembering Dan’s final words. His words are so inspiring.
You have helped me more than you will ever know. Thank You my friend.
Me too Jax! I hope that you are well. 🩷
You are not “just a guy on the Internet”. You have reached tens of thousands of “Pandas” with your never-ending positivity. I’ve never seen anything like it. God has you in the palm of His hand with a love we cannot even fathom on this earth. He will never leave you or forsake you. Peace to you and your family. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers. And thank you for the PT videos you made and freely shared. What a blessing you have been. ❤
Dr Dan, I am a 22 years old living with severe health anxiety. You are the person who has taught me about the beauty of life despite its shortcomings, love from Canada! I will always remember you, and you will always live within my heart!
I live with it as well at 37. Much agreed. Typing through tears. Can I just say, unrelated- my best friend who moved away is from Canada. I miss her saying “out,” “about,” “eh,” etc the way you guys do. Hugs from PA❤
Me two i am 36 and have had severe health anxiety/hyperchondria for 15 years where many small health issue i have my mind immediately thinks is cancer
You have the gift of time. Be picky about who you hang out with and find something to be excellent at.
I miss Dan’s voice and smile but I am glad he is not in pain any more. His legacy will not die.
Tears ... Flowing ... I watched all of the videos. The journey of a brave, powerful, loving and special human being.
Dr Dan, I want you to know you have changed my life 3 different times in the last decade.
The first time was in 2015. I met you after I injured my back at the gym. I was in so much pain it was hard to walk. You worked with me for weeks and weeks to rehab my back injury. By the time we were done working together my pain was completely gone.
The second time was years later in 2021. Because of the pandemic I had been working from home and that once again wrecked my back to the point that I was in constant pain. This time when you worked with me you gave me the tools to fix this instance as well as other back problems in the future.
The third time you changed my life was when you started sharing your cancer journey. I had started to get black pilled looking at the state of the world. The way you so completely embrace the best parts of life despite your struggles was eye opening to me. Sharing your journey helped inspire me to pull out of that dark spiral.
Thank you so much for all you've done for me. Everyday I live without back pain is because of you.
That was beautiful! I'm so happy your back pain is gone, but the most beautiful part is Dr. Dan helping change your outlook on life! We could all use a more positive outlook.
You are an amazing human, Dr. Dan.
I think you look great ❤❤THANKS FOR SHOWING ME HOW TO BE SO POSITIVE IN THIS WORLD 😊❤
Life is so strange. This man was seemingly in very good shape and deals with this while other people abuse the hell out of their bodies and live into their 90's.
DNA
Life isn't fair is the message I have received. We aren't promised more time even when practice "healthy" behaviors. This isn't a license to eat poorly and beat the hell out of your body, but many do and live well into 80's and 90's so no guarantees of anything. I am late to finding this channel, but this fellow is very kind and inspirational. Fortunately, I fully believe in life after death and while I still have a lot of living I want to do, I know what is waiting for me on other side.
I agree…he was, or seemed to be the picture of health, and then, bam 💥
Sir, I pray that you are at peace and God be with you ❤🕊️🙏🏼💯❤️
Genetics play a massive role.
50+ years ago cancer was affecting like 1 in 10. It was rare. Now is 1 in 4. Approximately in 10-20 years from now, 1 in 2 will have cancer. DNA? No, not with this rate. People think they have healthy lifestyle. Nope. Red meat and cholesterol are healthy, sodium is healthy. People follow this nonsensical nutritional advice present in media and they die in greater numbers each year. This fact cannot be denied.
Dr. Dan is a good dude. He helped me with my lower back around 2011 and it was my first real lowerback scare. He and I use to chat on the phone talking about the lowerback and what I can do when it flares up.
He told me to call him whenever it got bad and it got scary.
And I did just that, he chatted with me after coming back from some gala and I could literally hear him going through his front door and he kept chatting with me.
Dan is a good dude.
Will forever be a good dude.
Dr Dan, THIS is your victory speech❤️ You are a true warrior! You’ve handled your cancer diagnosis and recovery journey with such courage, grace, strength, and determination. You’ve shown us by your example to choose and hang on to the good stuff, forget the bad, brace ourselves and carry on with life’s challenges with kindness, empathy, compassion and a winning smile. We are in awe of you and your stubbornness to cling to hope and to what is good. We will never forget you, and in your name will continue to be pandas in our own lives. We thank you and we love you so much!
Well said! beautiful!
I agree, very well said.
thank you and
WE LOVE YOU DR DAN !!!

Dying isn't really strength its lack of strength
@@PinHeadThePopeOfHell it takes strength of character to face death and still be positive and comforting to others
My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in April 2017. He passed in July 2020.
Before he left me temporarily, I asked him to send me pennies from Heaven, but they had to be heads up. Two months later, I found one in my driveway. After that, it was sporadic but in odd places. I know for sure he's cancer free and being his naughty self, pranking people, etc. I pray 🙏 for you that you find peace and comfort knowing we all care.❤
❤
My sweet husband sends me dimes, because I asked my Daddy to send the pennies..🙏🏼🫶🏼💔
He must be pranking me as well, I found a heads-up penny the other day.
Delusional
@@ma0491 go away
I'm a grown man and I am holding back my tears.
You’re human, you’re supposed to cry sometimes. Please don’t feel ashamed about it! 💛
I broke immediately.
Not even trying to hold back mine
@@Wagwag42501 ❤️
Just stop by to hear his voice. Shortly after Dr Dan passed we got the miracle news that my dad who also has stage 4 colon cancer and has done chemo and immunotherapy is cancer free. Doctor's were truly surprised.
I began following because of my dad's diagnosis. Both diagnosed about the same time...my dad is much older though.
So happy to hear this, sending love to you and your family 😊❤❤
I am a man in my mid 40s. I watch Dr. Dan's videos to try and become a better person, kinder, less bitter when I have much to be thankful for. What a gentle soul Dr. Dan has. He is a very good man!
@@jasonmcghee1266 ❤️
❤
Your parents must be so proud of the strong, courageous man they raised. God bless you, you’re a warrior xx❤️
You are such a phenomenal human being, such grace.
John (his brother) informed us on X that Dan died at 5:08 p.m Central time.
Rest in Peace Dan, you were a fighter and a wonderful soul. A lot of love to John and the rest of the family
I just stumbled on this page and have been drawn into his story. I am astounded by Dan’s outlook on life and on death. He left a monumental legacy to the world. Rest In Peace, Dan. Prayers and love to his family. What a day that will be, when I’m able to see you in Heaven.👑❤
Now Dr. Dan's Mom and Dad, brothers and any other family who are there need time to process what they have been through with Dr. Dan. Personally, I feel sort of empty now that he has passed. And I never met him!
By some chance I happened to watch his first video about his cancer. I was impressed by his attitude and subscribed to his channel. So I have been here since the start of this journey.
Condolences to all of us. We feel the loss.
@@leslieewing9088 absolutly agree. I was on the care giving side 8 years ago and the healing process takes a long time. After all those years i am still processing
Thank you for posting this. ❤❤❤❤ RIP Dr. Dan 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
RIP Dr Dan
It’s been an honor brother. Your positivity has impacted my life and I’m sure many others. We love you man.
Old friend of mine, Ram Dass, helped pioneer the hospice movement back in the seventies. We're very fortunate to live in an age where we can spend our final days in dignity, care, and love, unlike people in our society in the past. Much love for your journey ahead. ❤
Yes. “Grist for the Mill”--the best book.
Thanks for that tidbit. I didn’t know that was something Ram Dass’ was a part of. Though now that you mention it, it makes complete sense…. Based on the couple handful of talks of his I’ve listened to.
I loved Ram Dass!! Heard of him in the early 90s and his words had me floating with joy!❤
Dear Dr. Dan, I'm praying that today, 5 days after this vlog was released you find yourself calm and comfortable. I loved watching your vlogs helping me with aches and pains, different exercises and stretches that helped me as I work in a hospital and stand and run around all day. You are a blessing. Thank you for all your excellent work and love for caring for others. I know that even in this tough fight you have helped so many. You are an angel and a warrior on this earth. May our dear Lord keep you blessed and hold you close as he has been all this time.🙏❤️
“Be Here Now” is a sort of mantra of mine when my anxieties ramp up and I find myself too in my own head. Ram Dass was quite an amazing human being
Dr. Dan, energy never dies, only changes forms. You will still be, just elsewhere. Happy travels. Blessing on your journey.
Indeed, the protons that make up the nucleus of the atoms of this man were created 14 billion years ago. They will soon be used for something else , recycling for eternity.
What a lovely man. He has an amazing attitude to this journey. He sees the joy in everything. What an example. Brave , courageous and gentle. Watching from Ireland. Just seen in the comments that he has passed. He is an inspiration to us all. Love.from the Emerald Isle.
This guy is an iron man with his positivity reaching end of life. We’re all terminal, and Dan has provided a masterpiece in how to reach the end with an amazing grace.
Dan! Just wanted to say that, as a 27 years old woman with a huge fear of death and disease, you changed my way of thinking life and its meaning. I really appreciate you and you're an amazing person who deserved so much more time in this world. Much love!
It’s good to get around to embracing that you are mortal, even at 27. Dying is a scary thought, but it must happen. A man like this shows the way. Die with dignity and enjoy what you have, while you have it. It isn’t long for any of us whether it’s 21 or 101.
''So foolishly afraid of death, so foolishly afraid of yourself'''
@David-cm4ok There is no 'right' way to die. We all like to think we will die with dignity, like Dan, but if someone is dying and cries, breaks down and freaks out, then that's OK with me too. Dan's positivity and calmness is certainly admirable, that's for sure.
@@Sammy-il1qf I know, I didn’t say it was the right way. It’s extremely admirable though, you’re right. Wishing him all the best ✌🏼
You lived two years with a stage 4 diagnosis. That's twice the average. Stay strong and continue to fight.
3 years!
It’s strange even a Dr can have stage 4 and not know it🙏🙏🙏🙏💙
@@lauratrahan3020 He's not a medical doctor, he's a chiropractor. He said he did have symptoms but didn't go see a doctor until the symptoms got bad.
How many in the panda fam are going back and rewatching his videos? I am making my way through them! He was always so strong and positive, I have not seen one time when he wasn't anything but a bright light. What a legacy he is leaving behind. Dr. Dan is an example of how nothing is more powerful, has more lasting impact, than kindness. ❤❤🐼🐼
Yes. Watching again now.
So sad that he had hope and was still mentally strong but God took him a mere month after this video.
Dan… as the daughter of a chiropractor, wife of a chiropractor, sister of a chiropractor, sister in law of a chiropractor, and aunt of 3 chiropractors, I can truly say you are a light and inspiration to the profession! ❤God bless you.
You have helped so many, Dr. Dan and you have taught us compassion and showed us love.
My mom died from lung cancer. She fought it 4 years, with dignity and class. Never once feeling bad for herself, and always smiling. I never saw someone die with such grace and dignity until Dr dan.
He was such a fighter. It is so sad people have to go through such a thing.
*UPDATE SATURDAY, 7/13/24:* Hello, everyone. 🤗 Dan had a comfortable day today. First of all, I’ll tell you what I did first thing this morning. I looked in the mirror, smiled at myself, and said, “God, I can’t wait to see what miracles you have for me today!” (I read that somewhere once. I mean, how silly and naive is that?! 🤭). Now I report what happened next, verbatim.
Dan said, "How long has this been going on?"
I said, "A couple of days."
He said, "What happened? I seemed to take a big decline."
I said, "We think you had a stroke."
He said, "Oh, that resolves a lot of my questions."
I said, "Are you thirsty?"
He said, "Yes."
(Rita, you will laugh to know I burned the toast to cinders, yet again…’cause I rushed in to hear what Dan was saying. Blame it on my ADHD. 😅)
The hospice nurse previously said he was to have nothing by mouth, because he didn’t remember how to drink and swallow. I checked again and she said to try him on sips, and he handles sips.
Am I saying he is miraculously healed? Of course not. But he later told me his heel hurt, so I floated his heels on a pillow and put cream on his feet. Any mother would be grateful to know anything she can do to help her child feel better, and I am!
I am waiting on God. My expectation is from God. I have quieted myself as a weaned child, as the Psalmist says. “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him,” as Job said. I will “in everything give thanks,” as the epistle says.
But wait, there’s more….
Okay, I can’t tell you more than, next to Dan, this is the biggest thing in my life I have prayed for for *years,* with no glimmer of hope on the horizon, well, today it happened, right out of a blue sky. And those of you who prayed for my “silent request,” thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am overwhelmed with gratitude today.
Plus, Dan seemed to have some actual Panda-type enjoyment. How cool is that?
😍🐼😍
The day was even fuller than that, but it’s late, so I’ll save that for another time. 🥱
I’d tell you to do the thing I did this morning, but I’m warning you, you have to let go of expectations, or your felt sense of lack will shoot you in the foot. You have to look for the cool miracles with a microscope sometimes, but if you are grateful for the tiny things you usually overlook, it kind of primes the pump.
Anyway I know so many of you will feel so bad if we “lose” Dan. I’m here to tell you that you never lose anyone you love, whether they live or pass to the Beyond.
Dan made me “pinky promise” that I would stay happy if he left, because he was looking forward to to new adventures. I said, well, I’ll cry, and be very sad for awhile, but I’ll know you are safe and happy, and that’s what a mother wishes most for her children.
So pinky promise you will be happy, too, if you can. If you can’t, that’s okay, too. 🤗
All the best to all of you. I wish I could answer all of you-you are an embarrassment of Panda love!
Don’t ever be ashamed of loving someone. Okay? You get to decide if someone means something to you.
❤️🐼
Blablablabla blablabla...
Tell your subs you don't want donations anymore.
Come on, tell it!
Thinking of you guys! Sending prayers.
Ooh la la, how beautiful! Salutations, Dr. Dan. Indeed, per John, there is no fear in love, perfect love casts out fear. "Trust in the Lord with all you heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6. Peace.
@tiamorar Blessings and amen to you, Dr. Dan and your loving mom and dad and panda family.❤We understand the love we have for our children just as God loves his children. I’m So very happy to hear our prayers are answered, and Dr. Dan is feeling Gods love for him.❤
@@tiamorar happy to hear Dan having clarity again.
Oh Dan.... Selfishly, my heart hurts. I held out such hope that you were going to beat this and end up stronger than ever.
I'll continue to pray for you and your amazing family. Thank you for being such a great example of strength and dignity.
God bless you.
Dr. Dan says " see the joy, grab it......." You are an awesome human, Thank You!
Dan once said “ I am going to live every day like I’m going to be 90 years old “, such an inspirational guy! He is leaving us soon, but I know l will continue visiting his podcast like visiting an old friend who is going to live to 90 years old! ❤️😊
Me too!! I would like us to celebrate his heavenly birthdays and Christmases ❤
He's at peace now. What a ride that was... what a ride.
Yes!!!! ❤❤❤
I thought I'd share the last words of Brian Sweeney with you. He was a passenger onboard United 175, one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.
"Jules, this is Brian. Listen, I'm on an airplane that's been hijacked. If things don't go well, and it's not looking good, I just want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, go have good times. Same to my parents and everybody, and I just totally love you, and I'll see you when you get there."
You'll see us when we get there, Dr Dan
That message was not from the guy on the plane that hit the world trade center! That was a message from a man that was on the plane that was hijacked that went down in the fields on the way to crash into the Pentagon
Aiden for some reason that made this tough old bird leak water from my eye's. GOD Bless YOU !!!
sobbing
Amen 🙏 ❤
🥲🥲. Sobbing 😭
I'm calling it: The Dan Effect. Dr. Dan, so many people you have permanently changed with your love, me among them. We are changed, and the lives we touch moving forward mean that the effects of you sharing your love and wisdom are Exponential. The Dan Effect has altered the trajectory of our human experience. Thank you, and Love!
Please when you feel strong each day, let your mom tape record your thoughts. PANDA POWER. That’s your book. A reminder for living.
The Dan Effect. I like that.
I was a nurse for 35 years including hospice care. I think gratefulness is one of the best things we can learn in this life. I learned from my hospice patients how to see life differently and better than I did before. I am 72 years old and know that time is short now but have no fear of death and what is to come after death. You are a blessing to everyone you have shared your story with, it helps more than you know. The world needs this right now.
Thank you for being a nurse, an earthly angel of care. Nurses' are the best and kindest people! I am grateful of all the wonderful nurses I've had over the years.
I’m also a 72 year old RN. I was diagnosed with lymphoma yesterday. I believe that my experience in oncology will help me. It certainly helped me make some major decisions in my life.
@@marypack7313not them all but there are some exceptions.
There is something very special about hospice workers.
You are missed Dr. Dan, forever in our memories 🫶💫❤️
A giant among men. A leader with immeasurable grace and humility.
I always think about what Elizabeth Edwards said when a reporter asked her if she was afraid of dying. She said with a chuckle “ we are all going to die, i just know what I’m going to die of”. Those of us who are not sick don’t have life guaranteed.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that profound thought.
Also don't have it looming over u when you're not sick, and it's also great not to be feeling unwell. So not the same situation at all.
@@martymartin2894 what are you talking about, I’m just quoting a wife of a senator who died of brain cancer. Her words ring true, It’s us healthy people who have the great unknown of death, she knew her fate many of us DONT.
No one gets out alive.
...as John Edwards was running around with his huzzy photographer
Your sharing means you touched the future, helped others, and have transcended beyond the here and now. Bless your heart. Take strength as you step forward.
I’m writing this the day after Dan went to heaven. Today I realize to me this is like a therapy session from Dan to me. I can come back and let Dan talk to me whenever I need to hear him. That is amazing to me listening to him now knowing he’s in heaven in his new strong healthy heavenly body living his best eternal life in his cabin he dreamed of. I love and miss you Dan. I’ll be back to listen to you again soon.😢
Love this, thank you, I’ll do the same❤🐼❤️
I too plan to return to this video. RIP dear Dan 🐼❤️🐼
