  • A few new developments!
    Here are the bullet points:
    - Had first 2 appointments to see if I qualify for an early phase trial of a new immunotherapy drug
    - I qualified for THREE trials!
    - And I got in to the best one :)
    - Energy levels are a little low, but otherwise feeling pretty good
    Thank you for all of your prayers and suggestions and hugs. I feel all of them! I wish I could reply to each of you individually, but know that I read all of your comments. Much love from me to you!! :)

    My next door neighbor , who had lung cancer, and all other treatments failed, got on the immunotherapy and it cured her cancer. Several years after she was to be dead, she is cancer free and doing great.

      Maybe miracles can happen. So far been told I have one year to live if I don't have treatment. Chemo sounds horrendous. They say it can't be cured so no hope for me.

      it is possible my dad had stage 4 lung cancer non small type..
      he had surgery but there was some tumor left it was to risky to take it all out he did chemotherapy with immunotherapy(keytruda)
      he did that for 3 months every 3 weeks after that he went for scan and the tumor died no sign of cancer doctor call it miracle they dont undrestand how this happend..so trust me everything is possible ...its already nearly 1 year in remission

    Dan. Went through this 5 1/2 years ago. Squamous cell carcinoma. Metastasized to my lung. Had immune therapy (nivolumab, aka Keytruda) in combination with a lot of radiation. Obviously lived to tell the tale, against the odds. Wishing you a quick recovery and a long healthy life. Pulling for you. Pulling for you. Pulling for you

      Hey, was it Nivolumab/Opdivo or Pembrolizumab/Keytruda? They are both PD1 immune checkpoint therapies but Opdivo is usually given to non-solid tumour related cancers whereas Keytruda is given to patients with solid tumors. I guess it was Keytruda?

    • @veronicadiesen3600
      @veronicadiesen3600 Před 7 měsíci +5

      Great to hear about your recovery from metastatic disease. Are you still on treatment or has your immune defence taught itself how to recognise the cancer? In that case, you've had a complete response to the treatment. That's amazing as well as inspiring:)

      My father battled Mesothelioma (asbestos cancer) and was given 8 months. After chemo failed, they gave him Keytruda (AKA: Pembrolizumab) and eventually led to no evidence of disease. That was about 7 years ago. Still cancer free. Immunotherapy is going to continue to evolve and improve for most cancers.

      Melanoma stage 3b is pretty bad , but she is going good

    My high school sweetheart was diagnosed with lung cancer metastatic to his brain, spine, lymph system, liver and spleen. His doctor told him that he had 2 months to live. He was given chemo at Mt. Sinai in NYC followed by immunotherapy with Ketruda. He has completed immunotherapy after 2 years on Ketruda and there is now no sign of cancer. Immunotherapy is even making the oncologists re-think the traditional outlook on cancer. My friend is feeling great and at 82 years old, he's still enjoying riding his Harley, fishing and all of his favorite activities. He feels better than I do with my 2 autoimmune diseases. I hope you have excellent results!

      I'm in total agreement with the comment about getting right with God. None of us knows when we will die, but God knows. He's not some father figure in the sky. He's the eternal creator of all things. Where we go after we die is a choice each of us makes while we're still alive. Scripture says, "It is appointed to man once to die and then the judgment." Repentance means to turn away from sin. Lying, stealing, lust, fornication, adultery, etc. We're all sinners. But if we sincerely repent and trust in Jesus Christ for our eternal salvation, we will be assured of our final destination, heaven with the Lord. If we reject God's free offer of salvation through the redemptive work of Christ on the cross, our eternity is in hell. Be careful, be wise, don't waste time because it's very short. And once you breathe your last, there's no going back.

      I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I completely fell apart. I got hooked on Ativan (here, take one of these before chemo!) and I started drinking, which I never had done before. I had a sh*tty attitude. My kids were 6 and 4. That was 31 years ago - despite basically trying to kill myself before the cancer could, I survived. Every scan terrified me. I know how you feel and you have every reason to - cancer sucks. But pls just hang in there and keep me posted. I care. Much love from NYC

      I just completed my third round of folfoxiri. I fasted for 48hrs before each round and have had zero side effects thus far. I researched fasting before chemo and apparently when you fast before chemo it protects your healthy cells and makes the cancer cells sensitive to the chemo. After two rounds they did a cea blood test that measures tumor activity in your body. When i was diagnosed my cea was 35 and after two rounds it dropped to 8!!!!! Im getting very close to the normal cea level!! Ive stayed positive like dr dan, and the power of prayer, faith, and fasting is getting me through this!!!

    Hi Dan, your story resonates with me too. I was diagnosed in 2021 with bladder cancer and it profoundly changed the way I look at things. I too used to feel incomplete. However, now I appreciate the small things and I see the beauty in them, like the birds and animals just going about their lives. As you rightly pointed out, cancer strips away the superficial. I have 6 graduate and post-graduate qualifications and recently I looked at them and wondered why I thought they were so important. They aren't. I gathered them all up and threw them in a box. That isn't me anymore. There are so many other dimensions to my life that have changed. I'm simpler and softer, and I define success very differently. I feel emotion a lot easier which was never easy for me. As you pointed out, I now seek authenticity. I am currently NED and live from scan to scan. I wish you all the best.
