I joined a week or so ago and it is definitely VERY GOOD. Thanks Dan for letting us have it. That alone will make a difference for so many people that will leave an indelible mark forever. THANKS!!!
Longtime critical care RN here. Dan, you've got the best attitude of any cancer patient I've ever seen. Kudos for not giving up and for fighting like a true warrior. I've also got stage 4 MBC but so far not having any big problems from it "yet". While I'm not as positive and upbeat as you are "day to day", I'm not depressed or angry about my situation. I just plow on and do the things I enjoy. I'll just sit back and admire your will to fight and your positivity and your incredible strength. Praying for you every single day and happy that you have a good web of support. HUGS from Alabama.
Thank you so much, Lane! And I'm sorry to hear about your health situation! Thank you for your encouragement, and right back at ya -- I'm thinking about you and rooting for you!❤
You're such a a great guy and your strength in this situation makes me. I've been dealing with cancer also and to be honest, I'm feeding off your positive attitude about everything. Prayers and hugs and thank you so much for everything you've doing for the rest of us whether you know it or not. Again you're amazing! God bless 😊
Austin, Baby. I know Houston has lots of help. M D Anderson is one .I'm so in love your attitude . God is gonna do this. His way, His will. His time . I'll be praying for you . I'm 80 yrs. Old. Your thought process is wonderful 😊. Hope . I love you.
Good god what a freaking man dan was. Rarely do i genuinely feel sad when someone passed i dont know. Especially a random guy with a TH-cam channel. But dan was different. So tragic. He had such a positive outlook on life
Rey you are AMAZING, omg!! Thank you so, so much for your incredible generosity, and your support. I wish the same light and love for you my friend! ❤❤❤
Omg amazing. I have a go fund me for my IVF journey alone to try to have my miracle after 2 natural miscarriages- early menopause expected at 38 (turn 37 March 16)- due to cancer treatment unexpectedly having ruined my eggs at 29. It was the radioactive iodine. Having a child is my only dream in life, and I quit medical residency to be able to do it. The first year schedule did not allow the time off, and I had to choose one or the other. $600k in debt from becoming a doctor. I chose my biggest dream that had to happen ASAP based on my lab values. That $200 is pretty much the summation of my entire fund thus far, months and months later. What a generous gift to a man who gives so much of himself to us!! I wish I had it to give as well❤
I hope Dan's words and his positive way of dealing with that terrible desease can help you deal with your stomach cancer.I dont pray, but have you in my mind, too. An extra hug to you from Germany 🙋♀️💙
I hope you can continue to do what is most important to you - if that means keeping your practice then I hope you can do that. Your openness and positivity in the face of life threatening challenges is inspriational. Money shouldn't be an issue with your health. Thank you for what all that you do and share.
Dr Dan, I offered up my Holy Mass for you today! I was so relieved, to see your face! You are beautiful inside and out! I will continue to pray for your healing. God is with you, please, receive him! ❤️❤️❤️
You need to swallow your pride and setup a go fund me page ASAP! You have followers who would donate in a heartbeat! You are going through a very physically challenging time with your cancer. Reach out and allow us to help you, please!
😅That's right do not deny us the opertunity of feeling good because we can help another fellow human being. It would make us feel to to be able to help you.
The very first time I heard about you was when, out of the blue, a video titled "2 - 6 Months to Live & the Cool Thing About Cancer" showed up on my computer when I opened up TH-cam to watch a completely different video. I debated clicking on it. I thought, "Is this a form a voyeurism-clicking on this to listen to a dying man talk about his illness? What does that say about me?" I wondered if it might be a bad idea that would put me in a sad mood ... but I ended up clicking on it and watching it, anyway. I watched it in full. Then I found myself going back through your past videos to learn more about who you are and what led to this video. Ever since then, I've watched ALL your recent videos and every single live chat that you've posted here. I've decided this isn't voyeurism, at all, because I'm not watching someone else's suffering. What I'm watching is someone else's genuine humanity as he battles the greatest battle of his life, as everything that used to matter (doesn't matter so much anymore) has been stripped away, and the only things that are left are what's truly important in life. They say (whoever "they" are) that the best advice you'll ever receive will come from a "dying" (statistically speaking) person who has nothing left to prove and nothing left to hide. Based on your earlier videos, you were much like the rest of us: very surface-level, just trying to show the good stuff and hide the bad, not fully authentic with people. But since you posted the above-mentioned video, I've seen a person truly open up to others. You are so authentic. You are so open and honest about everything. You are so compassionate. You are so grateful. You are so loving. You are SO INSPIRATIONAL in how you show us our true nature and how we should all be. You have taught me so much about what my priorities should be: be grateful for my health, be grateful and appreciative of "the little things" such as nature and watching the sun rise or set, be grateful simply for being here and being given one more day to be alive ... every single day. THANK YOU. I can't thank you enough. I'm so glad your video showed up on my page and I clicked on it. My heart and prayers are with you and your family every day. When I didn't see you yesterday, I was worried, and then I was so relieved when you provided a little update. I'm so happy to see you and hear your more detailed update today. I am one of thousands of people who are with you from afar. Sending you love from Canada and thanking you for the value you are providing to everyone. You mentioned that you are uncomfortable with receiving handouts, but you're okay with receiving payment for true value. I'm the same. Well, let me tell you, you are providing TREMENDOUS value here by simply sharing your humanity so openly. THANK YOU.
You are so wonderful, Kim, thank you for your encouragement! I think we all just want to feel useful. And you're reassuring me that I still can be. That means a lot. ❤
@@DrDanSays Thank you Kim! Very well said! I feel exactly the same, I send you all my best wishes Dan, from Hamburg, Germany. You really touched my heart and made me be a better and kinder human being. Please get well soon- but I know you will!
Now that your options are less than ideal, it might reveal an alternative to where you can confidently say "f@#k it" and enjoy your time. Not in the sense of giving up, what's to lose? Let the hard decitions be for how you rebuild post-tumor instead. Then you'll be like the rest of us! Poor with so many options we don't go for any of em. Being alive without living.
Dr. Dan, this is temporary, where there’s life, there’s hope. Do what needs to be done for the present time. You will no doubt get your pride back as you rebuild your life and practice. It will be easier the second time around. Please do whatever is necessary, no matter how hard it is, to take financial pressure off your shoulders. With the way you conduct yourself, you should have more than enough pride in yourself to spare anyway. You’re such a good man, and we’re here for you. If you will allow it, a GoFundMe page started by a friend or family member, would be very appropriate. There are so many who would welcome the chance to make a more concrete contribution to your future to show how much we care.
You're such a good and selfless person Dan, thinking of others' pain while you are going through this very tough time in your own life. What a beautiful soul you are! Hang in there, keep hope. Big Big hugs to you!!!! 💕💕
Dr Dan , i am a nurse from the UK , i have donated equivlant of 30 dollars to your go fund me page, sending warmest regards and prayers of healing, you are the kind of guy this wirld needs more of ❤❤
Dr Dan . As a leukemia patient, my heart is going out to you. I understand you and I hear you myself. Coming from a medical background after my diagnosis. 2 years ago I had to give up doing home care looking after my patients. And that was something I never ever thought that I would have to face. Financially, it was a blow absobut. Like you're saying to have to admit to knowing that. I could no longer actively do that really through my heart And mind in the world wind. I finally had to acceptdid which took a lot of weight off my shoulders but it was not easy. We are all here for you. And I am praying. As you process this the right decision will just happen.. It is very depressing I agree. But I found the minute I let go and accepted even though it was very , very hard. I found solace when people would even phone me and asking me for advice. That's still left. MeI feeling important and needed in my community. I am so glad that you have your parents and your support of family along your side. I'm doing this alone, but I will continue the fight. ❤❤❤ Sending you much love and gentle hugs, Dan.
Dear Annie. You and so many others are doing this alone. That's not your fault, it's the way life goes. It's hard to have to take care of yourself and take care of things when you have serious health problems. I hope you have good professional help where needed. But know that you are also in the thoughts of those who like and/or read your post. 💙💙💙
You just made me cry, reading your story. It can be crushing, losing your identity like that, but I love hearing that you have found your way to help others even still. And you are not alone! Consider me standing beside you on your team, rooting for you. Thank you for sharing!❤
@klaverfour8999 . Thank you so much for your kind words, It honestly brings me to tears to know that there's so much love. I found it here on this site. ❤️
Stumbled upon your videos one day and find myself looking forward to the updates. Your personality is infectious. I enjoy your honesty and perspective. People like you make me feel more comfortable being human if that makes sense. Thanks for sharing.
Your a good man I will come and see you I am in remission 8 months been through hell permanent illeostomy which I don't really think they no can be reversed they said it carnt love you keep going
Love your positivity. You are a very inspirational, humble man and have helped and continue to help many people . I am and will be praying for you and your family. Keep up the positivity, have faith in Jesus Living waters is a great channel to learn more about your faith. He is great at explaining how to have relationship with Jesus Thanks for all that you do Dr. Dan
You mean so much to me, Dr. Dan - your positive attitude and strong will have helped me more than you'll ever know. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your strength.
Dr. Dan, this stranger wishes she could go over to Austin and give you a giant hug. I know you say you feel the love and support, but, truly, you are loved and supported beyond comprehension. We are with you, Dr. Dan! 💕
My mom was diagnosed last summer with stage 4 lung cancer that spread to her liver, heart, spine and breast bone. As of about a month ago, completely cancer free😎 her docs can’t believe it. They told her she’d always have cancer, but they could manage it. It has been cured. Thank God🙏
For those wanting to show support and give back just a little to this wonderful man who gives so much, just click on the thanks heart and make even a small contribution. Strength in numbers 💪🏼 It all adds up ❤
Great option-some ppl who long to contribute but aren't able to commit regular!y, can still do something to show their love & support for this precious man.
I never comment on here, but I just have to say what a beautiful, compassionate, articulate and inspiring person you are. I send you all my love and prayers.
I hear you and I can't believe your enthusiasm being so high... you are a super Panda!! I love you and I love your spirit and the love you have for life!!
I just wanted to jump through my screen and give you a big giant hug! I am wrapping my arms around you now and sending all the positive energy I can! You are an amazing man! ❤❤❤
Wow, my heart hurts; I wish I could take all this hard from you. I pray that you continue to find peace through God, that you are filled with energy and hope, and that healing comes! I can't imagine how hard it is to contemplate losing the things that you love; your practice, your friends, everything. I do want you to know that, even if you lose those things, you have and continue to contribute so much to everyone. We can all see how we ought to be when life is incredibly hard. What an example! You are not a failure; you have given us all something to aspire to. Praying so hard for healing!
Dr. Dan, My vote is to move back in with your parents👍❤️ I’m sure that there has never been a time in your life as an adult that you have needed your parents more than you do now. You are young enough still to rebuild your practice and your income after you heal and get healthy again , but the less stress in your life right now the better!! I started out at $0.00, three different times in my adult life, and am now thriving and living my best life ever❤ So heal first, the rest will come ❤️
Oh Dr. Dan, I’m so sorry to hear this news. I continue to send prayers for healing for you. You have been such a comfort to me as I’ve watched my husband’s battle with oral tongue cancer the past 9 months. Thank you for sharing your story with the world.
Dan, your free online back exercises and massages helped with my sciatica nerve pain!! I had it down my leg for ages!! I’m back to walking and getting out of bed with no pain. I love the 4 minute leg walk stretch!! Thank you. ❤️❤️
Woo hoo, I love it!! I'm so glad to hear your sciatica is doing better, and thank you so much for sharing your story! Do you mind if I share your story with others?!
Be a beast brother!!! Face it and be strong 💪 we all die. It’s ok you will be just fine. Death is NOT the end I know for a fact. You are a beautiful soul.
Dr Dan, I've been following you in your journey. I'm a testicular cancer survivor and you have given hope to so many!! My family will be praying for you!!
Prayers to you Dr. Dan. One step, one hour, one day at a time. We’re all terminal if you think about it.. those of us with cancer just know it in a different way. My prayer is that you find a great peace moving back to your childhood surrounded by your mom and dad. What a gift you will be giving them by living with them. They get to have you under their watchful love.
Your victory can never be taken away from you Dr Dan. You have won the battle within yourself and astonished us with your sheer grit and will to live. Who couldn't but admire you.
I was bummed about a rough breakup. That’s a cakewalk compared to what you’re facing. I’m sorry you’re going through this but I can tell you , it’s not in vain. You make people take stock of what they need to focus on and be positive about. For that ,I thank you.
Dear Dr Dan. I could not be at your Live , Iam watching this now from the UK. You truly are a humble compassionate man , the world needs more people like you. I will keep you in my prayers 🕊. Tina UK.
You need a second opinion. That's what you have a right to have. Advocate for yourself with this. You are so upbeat and positive, you need to have the best chance to go on. Your life so please get a second opinion! Blessings to you and be safe!💞💞
Please don't apologize for your tears. “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.” ― Washington Irving Psalm 56:8 You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.
Only met you for the first time last week, Dr. Dan. But you're such a sweet and loving man, how can we not keep you in our hearts and prayers. Lots of love from Germany ❤️
You're amazing! I've worked as a RN in the OR for 34 years in Michigan. We're now in Iowa, and I miss home! I've never met such a genuine man as you are! I'm so sorry.... be strong, do whatever it takes to live. When you cry it breaks my heart!!! Prayers and thoughts coming your way! Robin
I am not sure how exactly your story came on my radar, but I have been so inspired by you. You are an amazing person -- you have inspired me to be real, get tested.
I am also going through this stuff with ovarian cancer. Being positive...one day at a time.... Just got out of hospital for ureteric stent which was causing hydronephrosis.Renal function back to normal now. You are in my prayers. Today I choose to be happy No use moping once I am feeling physically well enough
Dr. Dan, for some reason your video popped up on my feed and I’m glad I watched it. You’re such an inspiration not only for me, but for all of us. I’m scratching my head just thinking how much pain you’re in, not only physical but emocional and you still find time to share your story and living experience with us. THANK YOU!
Dan, there are indeed miracles from God. A former coworker was given 3 months to live from "terminal" lung cancer 17 years ago. Her story is amazing, and she knew the moment she was healed, and her cancer doctor did the necessary test to confirm it, and God can do the same for you Dan. Amazing things happen when we open our hearts to God. Mustard seed faith can move mountains. Praying for you buddy.
When your family wants to help you, you need to let them! They want to bless you with their support and it helps them to worry less about you. (My mom’s last bout with cancer, she went to Florida and had treatment there with my Dad by her side, but didn’t stay near me and other 3 kids & grandkids who wanted to help her…it was a difficult time for us). I am proud of the way you are handling this and how you are thinking things thru. Many prayers for you! 💛🙏
I wish I could wrap my arms around you! I’ve never come across someone that’s dealing with what you’re going through stay so positive, I hate that we don’t have a cure yet for this.. many many prayers and good thoughts coming your way.
Your decision to move back home sounds wonderful to me. Not only your parents I'm sure, want you to be closer, but you may find a doc in Tyler that works miracles! ❤❤ Our God or whatever you may call it work in mysterious and wonderful ways. Love and hugs to you. 🙏🙏🙏
I know you are having such a difficult decision for your life. Everyone here loves you. Move home and enjoy your life. You are and will be such a blessing to everyone wherever you are.
Dr Dan the reason we all here is because You are the one ., YOU Dr Dan r very special human being Beautiful soul you r blessed You r so loved Sending lots of love 🙏
All the hope, light,love and power to you, Dan! A megablast of all of the good stuff! ❤Me and my wife root for you. Turn every stone unturned for treatment options.

Let the hard decitions be for how you rebuild post-tumor instead. Then you'll be like the rest of us! Poor with so many options we don't go for any of em. Being alive without living.
❤
incredible , thank you
Amazing 👏
Yes! 🙌
Wow thanks so much, I just have to say thanks for helping the Doctor
Dr. Dan, this is temporary, where there’s life, there’s hope. Do what needs to be done for the present time. You will no doubt get your pride back as you rebuild your life and practice. It will be easier the second time around. Please do whatever is necessary, no matter how hard it is, to take financial pressure off your shoulders. With the way you conduct yourself, you should have more than enough pride in yourself to spare anyway. You’re such a good man, and we’re here for you. If you will allow it, a GoFundMe page started by a friend or family member, would be very appropriate. There are so many who would welcome the chance to make a more concrete contribution to your future to show how much we care.
Watching you every week is amazing. Despite what life is throwing at you, you keep smiling.
It’s not much, but I’ll donate every week if it helps ❤
What an amazing person. RIP Dan
A small amount, but at least I want to help somehow. Hang in there and I believe you will beat cancer.
Oh my gosh... you're so incredibly generous and wonderful, thank you so much! Sending lots of love your way ❤️
❤️
You're such a good and selfless person Dan, thinking of others' pain while you are going through this very tough time in your own life. What a beautiful soul you are! Hang in there, keep hope. Big Big hugs to you!!!! 💕💕
I admire the courage and positive attitude you have..... what an inspiration to us all. You are a beautiful human being !
God bless you Dr. Dan!
You provide an amazing service to all with your attitude and inspiration. You are a beautiful person and I wish you well. You are in my prayers.
Dr Dan , i am a nurse from the UK , i have donated equivlant of 30 dollars to your go fund me page, sending warmest regards and prayers of healing, you are the kind of guy this wirld needs more of ❤❤
Praying for healing and peace for u . You are so strong . Keep on keepin on. Lots prayers 🙏
Dr Dan . As a leukemia patient, my heart is going out to you.
I understand you and I hear you myself. Coming from a medical background after my diagnosis. 2 years ago I had to give up doing home care looking after my patients. And that was something I never ever thought that I would have to face.
Financially, it was a blow absobut. Like you're saying to have to admit to knowing that. I could no longer actively do that really through my heart And mind in the world wind.
I finally had to acceptdid which took a lot of weight off my shoulders but it was not easy.
We are all here for you.
And I am praying. As you process this the right decision will just happen..
It is very depressing I agree. But I found the minute I let go and accepted even though it was very , very hard. I found solace when people would even phone me and asking me for advice. That's still left. MeI feeling important and needed in my community.
I am so glad that you have your parents and your support of family along your side. I'm doing this alone, but I will continue the fight.
❤❤❤ Sending you much love and gentle hugs, Dan.
Dear Annie. You and so many others are doing this alone. That's not your fault, it's the way life goes. It's hard to have to take care of yourself and take care of things when you have serious health problems. I hope you have good professional help where needed. But know that you are also in the thoughts of those who like and/or read your post. 💙💙💙
❤ 🤗
You just made me cry, reading your story. It can be crushing, losing your identity like that, but I love hearing that you have found your way to help others even still. And you are not alone! Consider me standing beside you on your team, rooting for you. Thank you for sharing!❤
@@klaverfour8999I wholeheartedly agree with your comment !

Thanks for being an inspiration to many!
You mean so much to me, Dr. Dan - your positive attitude and strong will have helped me more than you'll ever know. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your strength.
So much love to you! ❤❤
Dr. Dan, this stranger wishes she could go over to Austin and give you a giant hug. I know you say you feel the love and support, but, truly, you are loved and supported beyond comprehension. We are with you, Dr. Dan! 💕
Dr Dan ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ so happy to see you today !! you look so handsome praying for a miracle ♥️ to your amazing mum xxx
Keep up the fight and the positive attitude. 💪🏼
My mom was diagnosed last summer with stage 4 lung cancer that spread to her liver, heart, spine and breast bone. As of about a month ago, completely cancer free😎 her docs can’t believe it. They told her she’d always have cancer, but they could manage it. It has been cured. Thank God🙏
Stage four lung cancer and “cured?” Wow, that’s unbelievable! Good for her and your family.
For those wanting to show support and give back just a little to this wonderful man who gives so much, just click on the thanks heart and make even a small contribution. Strength in numbers 💪🏼 It all adds up ❤
Absolutely
Great option-some ppl who long to contribute but aren't able to commit regular!y, can still do something to show their love & support for this precious man.
I never comment on here, but I just have to say what a beautiful, compassionate, articulate and inspiring person you are. I send you all my love and prayers.
You will always be a valuable part of this community. REMEMBER THAT PLEASE!!!❤❤❤❤
I hear you and I can't believe your enthusiasm being so high... you are a super Panda!! I love you and I love your spirit and the love you have for life!!
Sending love from London
Thank you dan
I just wanted to jump through my screen and give you a big giant hug! I am wrapping my arms around you now and sending all the positive energy I can! You are an amazing man! ❤❤❤
Wish you healing Doc. Keep your spirits up!
❤
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking of you. Glad you're still here with us🙏🏿
This guy is a real fighter. Keep it up Doc
I’m so lucky . I had colon cancer 14 years ago . I’m fine now. I’m 76 .
I love hearing this! Thank you for the encouragement!
You’re blessed to have parents who can and want to help. I’m sure you’d do the same if they were in your place. That’s what real family would do.
I see how people are helping, this is why I love people... Happy Sunday to everyone...
Wow, my heart hurts; I wish I could take all this hard from you. I pray that you continue to find peace through God, that you are filled with energy and hope, and that healing comes! I can't imagine how hard it is to contemplate losing the things that you love; your practice, your friends, everything. I do want you to know that, even if you lose those things, you have and continue to contribute so much to everyone. We can all see how we ought to be when life is incredibly hard. What an example! You are not a failure; you have given us all something to aspire to. Praying so hard for healing!
You are contributing, just in a different way than you ever imagined you would
Nothing better than being home with mom...Let go and relax
Prayers to you and your family.
Dr. Dan,
My vote is to move back in with your parents👍❤️
I’m sure that there has never been a time in your life as an adult that you have needed your parents more than you do now. You are young enough still to rebuild your practice and your income after you heal and get healthy again , but the less stress in your life right now the better!! I started out at $0.00, three different times in my adult life, and am now thriving and living my best life ever❤
So heal first, the rest will come ❤️
Reducing stress is so important indeed. Dan's mother is certainly a good influence in that regard I think.
Oh Dr. Dan, I’m so sorry to hear this news. I continue to send prayers for healing for you. You have been such a comfort to me as I’ve watched my husband’s battle with oral tongue cancer the past 9 months. Thank you for sharing your story with the world.
It's OK to grieve. You don't deserve this and you do not need to apologize
Dan, your free online back exercises and massages helped with my sciatica nerve pain!! I had it down my leg for ages!! I’m back to walking and getting out of bed with no pain. I love the 4 minute leg walk stretch!! Thank you. ❤️❤️
Woo hoo, I love it!! I'm so glad to hear your sciatica is doing better, and thank you so much for sharing your story! Do you mind if I share your story with others?!
Yes!!! I’ve been telling anyone that will listen to me about your video!! Glad to hear you extended the offer. Praying for you everyday. ❤️❤️
Yes you can share my experience!! It’s amazing!! I do them two to three times a day and the messages a couple times a week.
Be a beast brother!!! Face it and be strong 💪 we all die. It’s ok you will be just fine. Death is NOT the end I know for a fact. You are a beautiful soul.
WE ARE YOUR VILLAGE. Love you, Dr. Dan 💝🤲🌻
Please consult other surgeons about the options. Sending you warm hugs and hope your day is filled with sunshine! Stay posivite.
Dr Dan, I've been following you in your journey. I'm a testicular cancer survivor and you have given hope to so many!! My family will be praying for you!!
Prayers to you Dr. Dan. One step, one hour, one day at a time. We’re all terminal if you think about it.. those of us with cancer just know it in a different way. My prayer is that you find a great peace moving back to your childhood surrounded by your mom and dad. What a gift you will be giving them by living with them. They get to have you under their watchful love.
That's deep
I have never seen you this emotional. i hope god heals you stay strong! love from east africa (ethiopia)
The generosity of spirit with which you navigate your situation and share your thoughts is, in itself, a remarkable contribution .
Indeed. Beautiful comment, thank you.
Your victory can never be taken away from you Dr Dan. You have won the battle within yourself and astonished us with your sheer grit and will to live. Who couldn't but admire you.
I was bummed about a rough breakup. That’s a cakewalk compared to what you’re facing. I’m sorry you’re going through this but I can tell you , it’s not in vain. You make people take stock of what they need to focus on and be positive about. For that ,I thank you.
Indeed.😔
Dear Dr Dan.
I could not be at your Live , Iam watching this now from the UK.
You truly are a humble compassionate man , the world needs more people like you. I will keep you in my prayers 🕊. Tina UK.
Please please please dont ever be sorry for feeling any hurt or crying. You have every right to feel.
Always look forward to your videos! Wishing you the best!
You need a second opinion. That's what you have a right to have. Advocate for yourself with this. You are so upbeat and positive, you need to have the best chance to go on. Your life so please get a second opinion! Blessings to you and be safe!💞💞
Please don't apologize for your tears.
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.”
― Washington Irving
Psalm 56:8 You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
Beautiful, thank you! ❤️
Only met you for the first time last week, Dr. Dan. But you're such a sweet and loving man, how can we not keep you in our hearts and prayers. Lots of love from Germany ❤️
I am continuing to pray for you Dan. Keep up the good fight my friend.
You're amazing! I've worked as a RN in the OR for 34 years in Michigan. We're now in Iowa, and I miss home! I've never met such a genuine man as you are! I'm so sorry.... be strong, do whatever it takes to live. When you cry it breaks my heart!!! Prayers and thoughts coming your way! Robin
You are a champ!
Thank you for sharing!
Your vulnerability is a gift for us!
You are for real!
God be with you always!
I am not sure how exactly your story came on my radar, but I have been so inspired by you. You are an amazing person -- you have inspired me to be real, get tested.
Sending love and prayers from Palestine, Texas-your neck of the woods! The healing beauty of East Texas will nourish your soul🙏🏻🥰
I am also going through this stuff with ovarian cancer.
Being positive...one day at a time....
Just got out of hospital for ureteric stent which was causing hydronephrosis.Renal function back to normal now.
You are in my prayers.
Today I choose to be happy
No use moping once I am feeling physically well enough
I’m so sorry you are going through this. My 36 year old son is also. Stage 3 rectal cancer. You are an inspiration and this will all work out.
Sending love and prayers (and tears) for your family. This is so hard, I know.
Dr. Dan, for some reason your video popped up on my feed and I’m glad I watched it. You’re such an inspiration not only for me, but for all of us. I’m scratching my head just thinking how much pain you’re in, not only physical but emocional and you still find time to share your story and living experience with us. THANK YOU!
Thanks! Big huggz and prayers from indiana❤
You’re strong,positive and you never give up. You’re an inspiration to many folks, probably more than you’ll ever know!
Dr. Dan, may the Almighty cure you and give you many more years of being loved and spreading love!
Dan, there are indeed miracles from God.
A former coworker was given 3 months to live from "terminal" lung cancer 17 years ago.
Her story is amazing, and she knew the moment she was healed, and her cancer doctor did the necessary test to confirm it, and God can do the same for you Dan.
Amazing things happen when we open our hearts to God.
Mustard seed faith can move mountains.
Praying for you buddy.
You are absolutely right about following the torch!! Don't let anyone tell you that maintaining a non terminal perspective is irrational.
God bless u❤️🩹
Prayers for you Dan. So sorry you're going thru this. Your positive outlook is an inspiration. God Bless you!
When your family wants to help you, you need to let them! They want to bless you with their support and it helps them to worry less about you. (My mom’s last bout with cancer, she went to Florida and had treatment there with my Dad by her side, but didn’t stay near me and other 3 kids & grandkids who wanted to help her…it was a difficult time for us). I am proud of the way you are handling this and how you are thinking things thru. Many prayers for you! 💛🙏
Dziękujemy.
I personally would like to thank you. I just started watching his videos
We are all praying and you are not alone!!! God Bless You Dr. Dan
I wish I could wrap my arms around you! I’ve never come across someone that’s dealing with what you’re going through stay so positive, I hate that we don’t have a cure yet for this.. many many prayers and good thoughts coming your way.
Dan, I want to give you a big big hug. I wish I could change this hard time in a softer one. I pray for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I stumbled across you a month ago and have been praying for you ever since.
You are a wonderful person. I wish you the best.
Your decision to move back home sounds wonderful to me. Not only your parents I'm sure, want you to be closer, but you may find a doc in Tyler that works miracles! ❤❤ Our God or whatever you may call it work in mysterious and wonderful ways. Love and hugs to you. 🙏🙏🙏
❤🤗
I'm praying for you and God's got this.. you're sure loved and your an inspiration Dr Dan.. lots of love from Missouri
