  • A long overdue update!
    Unfortunately, things aren't going the direction I was hoping. But I'm the happiest I've been in my life :)
    The bullet-points:
    - Signatera & CEA bloodwork both jumped 10x in the past 4 mos
    - Onco estimates I have 2 - 6 months left
    - 3 options are: experimental trial of immunotherapy, old chemo again, or do nothing
    - New spot on head of pancreas (biggest threat right now)
    - Liver spot stable
    - Lung spots growing a bit
    - how cancer has made me happier
    All my love and prayers to every one of you! I know I can't respond to everyone, but I feel your love, and I appreciate you more than you know! :)

I now can't eat even with the enzymes and my sugar levels are always high. I basically eat 1 pack of liptons soup a day now. My eyes and face turned yellow but then went back to normal on their own. I've had scans and even a liver biopsy but can't get a diagnosis. I sleep 20 hours a day. Zero energy. I know you're fighting for your life so I apologize for my question.

    My wife was diagnosed stage 4 pancreatic adenocarcinoma on August 2021. Tumor in pancreas, 5 lesions in her liver, and numerous lesions in her abdominal lining. Doctors said 6 months. Her report said palliative care and scheduled for 12 cycles of Folfirinox. She ended up doing 20. Suffered severe neuropathy. Had a PET / CT scan with no evidence of disease on June 2022. Was prescribed a targeted therapy pill Olaparib. 5 scans later is still cancer free today. Neuropathy is completely gone. She fought and she clawed her way for more time. There is always hope.

And a best friend, who drives me crazy most of the time.😂 I’ve endured suffering for most of my life. Got breast cancer in 2021. So the hits keep coming. But sharing grieve is difficult. So I keep it hidden away from them. Mostly to protect their hearts. You remind me of my mother when she laid me down on her bed facing her to tell me she was going to die when I was 12. She died of colon cancer. I see the strength, the hope, the love, and the fear in you that she had. My heart breaks for you. I’m not religious so I won’t send prayers😂but I can send my hope for you and my time if you ever want to scream, cry, curse…I cuss like no other😂…say things you want to get off your chest, because honey, life is unfair. It really is. But that’s ok. It is what it is. I am serious as a deer tick that if you need someone to hear you without any judgement what so ever, I’m here. Hell, I might just add gas to your fire and we will just light up everything!😂Im sure you have many people who love you who you can talk to, but if you don’t, I’m here. Just let me know. I cuss in Spanish too.😂 Love you. Keep fighting. Sending you all my love and support.❤

    I'm an old man and my body is telling me that I'm pretty close to the end. I want to live longer, and I want to enjoy life, but I can also accept the inevitable without too much grief. Ten years ago, I would have felt anxiety and trepidation. Now I just find acceptance. I only ask that it isn't painful, that it isn't unnecessarily prolonged, and that it happens in my own bed. Not really a big ask but it would be a blessing. I know that I have lived a full long life and that I made myself happy. I truly believe that my young adulthood was the golden age of America. It will never be that good again. I'm satisfied with my legacy.

      @@Been.Here.Since.2007 Not all of us were on board with that. I have watched FDR's economic legacy get incrementally destroyed, piece by piece, over decades. I fought against it every step of the way.
      All hope was lost when Southern states rejected Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primaries in favor of identity politics. End result? The Democrats chose to fight Fox's culture war instead of fighting to stop the economic exploitation of working families. FOX is much better at culture war than Democrats are. The Democrats chose to fight the wrong political battle because they chose the wrong constituents to vet them (with the prodding of empty donor class promises). They paid the price with the election of Donald Trump. There is a reason why "woke" resonates with Republicans in such a resounding fashion.
      That was PRECISELY the moment when this great nation went over the cliff. Sanders was the BEST candidate of my lifetime (even better than RFK) and America passed him by. You are definitely in deep doo doo now.

I remember rubbing her sore back in her hospital bed and seeing and feeling her ribs, she was in so much pain and her doctors didn't think she would make it through the night. She made it through that night... and TWENTY SEVEN MORE YEARS! There were a lot of hard times make no mistake about it, she did suffer a lot, however she also had many good years and lived to be 69 years old.

My uncle who was just 6 years older than me so more like a brother & best friend, passed away last March from a combination of cancer & kidney failure. He’d been sick his whole life, but when he found out he was terminal, his only wish was to be at home. So we made it happen & took care of him in his last 2 & 1/2 months. It open your eyes to things you’ve never seen, teaches you things you never knew & brings you to your knees. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through, but I’d do it again a million times over.

Our immune system is what they should be trying to make stronger so it eats up the cancer. But they made 2000 a week for my chemo pills. And 5000 a week for radiation.

She took herself off of hospice to get her fluid drained (she had to fight to get that procedure), and she approached her situation with a combination of very high nutrition and prayer. (The latter wouldn't be my approach, but it certainly worked for her!) Some mix of green juices and smoothies and prayer gave her her life back. She out-jumps me on a trampoline.

I looked at a starling today and felt privileged to be able to observe the beauty of nature. Most of my life has been spent in a mental stew of reconciling childhood trauma. It is absolutely time to smell the roses. I’m 64 now and only beginning to appreciate the beauty in this world. It has also helped me find a more meaningful spirituality.

That terminology, that someone needs to continue to "fight" or else they are letting cancer "win" makes me so sad. Some cancers are just too strong.

Lungs and liver tragically are 2 of the main places in our bodies that metastasize so easily. She did not “ get” to do treatment. But she enjoyed her last months. So palliative care can sometimes be time better spent. Immunotherapy can be very aggressive . A stage 1 trial is not a stage 3 trial. Diet at this point will not make a difference.

I've been evangelizing since I was 62 when I truly got saved I have found out from Reading scripture that I know for sure there's an afterlife and it's so easy to get to heaven all you have to do is as simple as repenting and accepting the Lord and his sacrifice for us. It is truly that simple I know I'm a bit older than you but when I got saved at 62 I was ready to go because of my belief system. It is an intense feeling and when God reveals himself to you it even gets more intense I know my health is failing as well and I don't know if I will make the Rapture of the church which we do not know when is coming but I know where I'm going when I take that last breath. I wish you all the best and if that time does come I pray that way before that time comes that you do you have a belief system and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ period of course I don't know that and I don't mean to sound pushy, but you have just touched my heart. You seem like one of the best people that I could have ever had the pleasure of meeting so I felt compelled to write a little something. May God give you the desires of your heart and when you steal those flowers outside that's when I decided to write you this because if you think what you saw outside here on this Earth was beautiful just wait till you enter Paradise. And it's as simple as 1-2-3 period a person does not have to be in any way perfect. I wish you the best and I will be praying for you sir. I was in LPN and my two daughters are registered and the only believes in the family are myself and my 20 year old grandson again God bless you.

    When my sister was first diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, she was able to get on the fast track for social security disability. I think she got a check the first month. Just something to think about. Even if you are able to get disability, you're still allowed a certain amount of work income. Because I think staying busy is probably the best thing for you. It definitely is for my sister.

    Thanks for this Dr. Dan. I survived colon cancer in 2004 with some major surgery. Recently found a lung nodule that looks like cancer. We’ll see, one day at a time. I experienced those feelings of intense beauty, then, since, and now. Like going from a tiny black and white TV to an 85” color flat screen. It is strange but true that a cancer diagnosis can improve our lives. It may be a quality vs quantity issue. I was 50 then, and 70 now, and I’ll still be trying to stay in the game if I make 90. Something I heard back then that I liked and kept in memory is that we are like a giant flock of birds migrating from one place to another. Some birds get to the next destination a little sooner, and some get there a little later. But in the big picture they all get there. The exact flight schedule is up to a power greater than ourselves. If you don’t yet have one, now might be a very good time to get one. I’ll be thinking positive healing thoughts for you. The Universe tends to manifest that which we think about most. So try to only hold positives in mind. I know it is hard. But worry is a negative prayer that actually has the power to bring about the thing worried about.

    Every cancer is different, so what happened in my case, may not apply to yours. Thirty-two years ago, my cat indicated that I had cancer in my left breast. It took two years, and several physicians, to get a mammogram ordered. By then, the cancer had spread throughout my body. I totally changed my life, including moving to a new house and taking a new job, and got my affairs in order. As tumors developed, new treatments came on the market. Each new treatment suppressed the cancer long enough for a new treatment to be available. As a result, I am living a fairly normal life with stage 4 cancer. I treat each day as if it will be my last day, since that is highly possible. As you say, cancer forces us to examine our lives and see what is really important to us. When I leave this life, it will be after living life to its fullest. Not everyone can say that.

      He kept pawing my left breast. Another cat discovered the tumor on my head, and yet another cat kept pawing my right chest and tumors were found in my right lung and lymph nodes. So far, the cats are batting a thousand. The cats discovered the tumors before the physicians. Cats, dogs, and rats have all shown they can detect cancer cells but not all animals will let their owners know. There is also a woman who can detect Parkinson's, from scent on clothing, very reliably.

      Hello, I have read several encouraging notes. I wish they would let me know if they did the medicine or not. That would make me go the way I need to go. Some say no others others yes. Right now I'm say no but maybe I need to take the medicine. I have pancreatic and liver cancer. I've been blessed with some of the answers they. But just let me know if should. I think my other problem is I have no friends. I was a pastor for six years. The friends I had then have all abandoned me. The only one whose never left me is JESUS! That's the main one I suppose. But I really believe that if the people that I ministered to came around that would be a great blessing. I still seek the LORD especially when I'm hurting. I have been divorced for about 15 years. Yes I have asked God to bring her back but to no avail. I have 3 daughters but only 1 talks to me. I live in Amarillo Texas she lives in Arkansas. The other 2one lives here the other 45 miles from.

I never discussed my NDE with anyone until I was in my 40's. Who would believe a 6-year-old, right? I've learned to rely strictly on my Faith. Faith over Fear is my gut belief.

Sit with your bare feet in a stream or paddle in the sea. Lay in the grass and watch the clouds. Roll with the peace. Wrap yourself in nature, it’s so comforting.

      Yes family (if people have decent family of course) is a blessing.
      I had cancer in 2022. We prayed (sons and I). I was cut from left to right literally across my stomach to get to my liver and had lots cut out. Months of recovering. But even before that gallbladder cancer was finally found and first an operation for that, plus pancreatic procedure, ...plus colonoscopy (yikes) and endoscopy and non stop ct scans and a couple of MRIs and usual lot of blood tests. Plus C.diff infection in hospital which was dangerous and I was in isolation.
      Sigh. Praise the Lord clear for now. Both operations were quite fast
      (Only 3 months between). I wasn't worried when I got the diagnosis firstly but you do seem to really appreciate things. So now just had covid in June and now got a virus and chest infection. Still, I'm greatful as able to have gone to family wedding and also welcomed a new grandchild. Glad I know Jesus. So glad I didn't have to have chemo. (One of my sisters died from oesophagal cancer).
      Animals are such precious company too for anyone. Jesus is the healer and deliverer and you can be healed (unless the actual number of your days comes up I guess). The Lord says He knows the number of our days. (My father died years ago of colon cancer).

      Please try salvestrol (natural compounds). There are some research papers in humans. Please read the paper: jeffreydachmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Savestrol-Cases-Studies_JOM_2007_v22_n04_p177.pdf
      Salvestrol is developed at the university. This is not to replace orthodox medicine and it is not known whether it would interfere with regular medical treatment.

    The book concept is beautiful. This pulled at my heart, I was a caregiver for 2 years to mom. She was diagnosed in 2021 and passed 3 months after her 55th birthday from stage 4 cancer. In the end, the liver toxicity took her. The main tumor was more of a nuisance, which hindered her ability to walk and gave her nerve pain in the last 2 months. She made the best of the 3 months in palliative care (amazing nurses and fun visits from friends/family, at least). Everyone commented that she didn't have the attitude of a dying patient. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was not being able to take her outside due to mobility loss.

    Dr. Dan, I've never heard someone capture the cancer experience so perfectly and eloquently. Every day we have in this world is a gift. I wish more people realized that. And like you said, all the trappings of society are really meaningless. It's the small moments in life that bring the most joy. From a 2X survivor in Chicago.

      It’s easy to get a lot of carcinogenic red meat compounds (usually from cooking) in high meat diets. Also, many people forget that fiber is very important in a keto diet. Lastly, it’s a bit harder to get antioxidants, polyphenols, phytonutrients, etc. in a keto diet. I honestly don’t know how effective keto would be in combatting cancer. Since a six year old is fighting it in your family, it sounds like it’s partly genetic. Also keto is not meant to be for long term. I personally would do a mostly organic WFPB diet with some fish in it instead of the keto diet. A lot of the benefits of keto can be achieved through fasting and intermittent fasting without damaging your gut micro biome and losing all the important antioxidants. However, I do hope that keto works out for your family, as long as you realize the risks there are and how you can mitigate the risks

    I sat there with my hero wife when the doctor told her 6 months and he'd arrange palliative care for her. She fought a good battle for 4 years. They too, gave her a optional experimental genetic based trial they stated could only at best give her a few extra months. She decided not to go that route. We both shed a few tears, she less than me. I miss her everyday.

Although the doctors give us an educated guess it still is just a guess. I know i don't have years left but i have more than 2 months. I decided to enjoy the time i do have left, however long it is, I'm making memories with my kids and not wasting any day and making sure those I love know I love them.
