Paul I'm so happy to hear from you! I have been very concerned. I am a Nurse in Canada and MAID is something I truly believe in. It's ok to be tearful, and we are here for you! I cannot understand why comments have been cruel and negative. Hurt people hurt people is what people say, but I don't know how anyone could subject you to that!? You are loved and supported! ❤ You are remarkable, in the way that even at the point you are at in life, you are still concerned about leaving a legacy of learning through your experiences! The world needs more you!!
You took the words right out of my mouth with your comment. I just can’t even begin to understand negative comments, Paul is so courageous. Paul thank you for your update. You wish to not cry anymore . I cried right with you. What I aspire to be is as strong as you are under such difficult circumstances. Kudos to you. You are OUR hero and we love you.
❤
Beautifully said❤.... agree!! Paul please cry if you must,tears are so healing,never change. Much love & strength to you friend. We are standing right beside you in whatever you choose ❤.
@@jeanroth159Why did you post your comment 7 times? Just curious. Still loved your comment though. (-;
Te queremos
What kind of horrible people would leave negative comments?! Get rid of them. Everyone else is holding you in their love and light.
He shouldn't be gay and more stoic imho
Hi Paul, just wanted you to know that as an NHS doctor who has followed your journey for a year or so, you’ve taught me so much about how I can be a better supporter and advocate for my patients experiencing similar journeys. Thank you for your humility and openness in such hard times, you have a much bigger impact than you know
A good doctor hears their patients. An excellent doctor listens to their patients.
Your comment is very touching. Your patients are lucky to have you. 💕
It’s a good thing Paul isn’t with the NHS cos I wouldn’t trust them to get anything done with their poor service and long waiting lists
@@cultfiction3865The NHS are brilliant im proud to be british and have the NHS
Gidday, Paul: I'm an expat Kiwi, now living in California. For a big part of my career in health-care, I worked in Oncology and Palliative Medicine. All of my patients were the sweetest people on the planet!. I lost my dad to cancer, when I was 16. I'm sending you all the support that I can from across the miles. I wish you clarity and peace during this uncertain season of your life. Whether you know it, or not, you are likely touching the journeys and hearts of more people than you realize. This world is all the more richer and wiser, for you being here.
They told my Mom she wouldn’t last a year from her bladder cancer. She refused treatment and lived many years more before she died at 92….she did not die of cancer!
Your body is always fighting the cancer…sometimes you beat the cancer.
Stay positive!!!
Was it possibly a misdiagnosis?
Magical Thinking does not work.
Wow!
@@ayasha89games66 No…the surgeon did remove out the cancerous growths from her bladder which were extensive….she was given 1 year to live if she refused treatment….which she did
and 1 year later….the doctor told me my Mom made the right decision on refusing radiation and chemo….and she was not going to die from bladder cancer.
Your immune system is always working to destroy the cancer cells….
hello madam, may i ask what you mom did after sugery, did she change her diet, exercise more or nothing change
They told me i had 3 weeks to a year to live last august when my kidneys started shutting down down, i have stage 4 cancer adenocarcinoma in the lungs liver kidneys bones, had since nov 6-2021. I been off all treatments back in march26-2023. An im still going strong, even though im on hospice my body is still saying im not ready to give up, i pray for u, n never know when its time just keep your faith
Glory be to God
My dad has same diagnosis. I hope and I will pray for you that everyone who has this to live long enough until they find the cure. Stay strong ❤️
Keep fighting, you got this ❤❤❤
I wish you the best recovery darling ❤
😢🙏🏻
I’m currently supporting my husband through hospice , in his last 6 months as well. He too choose quality over quantity after 10 years of fighting various cancer reoccurrences. Unfortunately we are in a place where the assistant death isn’t available, so we are letting nature take its coarse.
We’ve gone through the anger, the crying, the humor . Now just enjoying every day he wakes up. Going on a three week cruise in 12 days to Europe. He has decided to just take it a day at a time. He says he will keep living until he isn’t anymore. He is going to be 84 in 12 days so he’s lived a rather full life.
I'll pray for you guys
He shouldn't be gay and more stoic imho
@@fightingforcatalonia excuse me ? Explain
Please picture your fellow cancer warriors, all over the world, holding your hand and walking beside you - Focus on those people who make you feel loved - Create a routine that includes fun food, favorite hobbies etc. - You are loved by so many!!! Julie, from California 💕
Been missing you, Paul. You are right to remove negative commenters and ban them. You don’t owe anyone an explanation! I am praying for your recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Agree 👍💯
Agree 💯 percent! ❤
YEP
it might be bad news, but the world has undoubtedly been made a better place because of kind and compassionate people like paul.
Dear, dear Paul, my heart truly goes out to you. We are in parallel cancer journeys. Mine starting in ovaries, spreading throughout abdomen and peritoneal, ascites, plural effusion, pulmonary embolism, surgery and countless small cancerous nodules that are through out my abdomen, chest cavity and imbedded in my messentary tissue. I’ve had different treatments which quit working or put me in hospital or damaged my heart. I have been told my cancer is incurable and I also am terminal. Right now, I am giving my body a break from treatments, bc it’s not handling them well. So I am feeling better, but just like the last time I took a break, after a few months the cancer continues to grow and gets to a point that I can’t handle it. I don’t know what I want to do this time. I am with City of Hope and even though I feel they are as good as it gets I have lost so many friends I made there while having treatments together. People who did everything by the book. Some of them I feel died sooner and sicker from the treatments. I’ve come to the conclusion that for certain cancers advanced stages, there isn’t a cure, yet. Just a prolonging. I have no fear of dying and have accepted the fact I may be dead soon. BUT, the heartbreak is I have five beautiful children and five beautiful grandchildren that I’m not ready to say goodbye to and they for sure aren’t ready to let me go. I do know that when my time is near, I hope to die with dignity will medical assisted death. All we can do is live one day at a time and make informed decisions regarding our health. I try to make the best of what each new day gives me. Some days are better, some days very bad. You are in my thoughts, my heart is very heavy for all of us. With love.
Beautiful words you said ❤️ 😊
@SeaTurtle515 I wish you only love, light and peace on your journey forward. My hope and prayer for you is that you have some time each day when you can get some enjoyment from your life. Your grandchildren will most certainly miss you and carry on your beautiful and spirited legacy. Thank you for sharing. No doubt you’ve helped others along the way.
@@shawnconnors596 Thank you for your lovely and uplifting words, they brought tears to my eyes.
Best wishes SeaTurtle. My heart is heavy too. Enjoy here while you can, and I'll see you on the other side. Paul.
My love goes to you as it sounds like you have and continue to endure so much. I am so deeply sorry that treatment hasn't been more successful in halting or curing this terrible disease. My love and prayers are with you. ❤❤🙏🤗Xxxx
Paul, I’m in Houston and have been following your journey. I love you so much! ❤ I wish we could have met and had some beer or wine from time to time. You are an amazing person in so many ways. I have prayed for you and will keep praying for you. I am Christian and recently became Catholic and what I know is this: the love of God is an infinite ocean. He loves you. So many of us love you. For every one comment posted, I bet there are 10 lurkers who love you too. That’s it. I just wanted to raise my hand as one of those hundreds of silent lurkers.
Thank you. Paul.
Dear Paul, you have created a wonderful legacy. We shall wrap our arms around you with support and love. Always sending love and strength 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 Paul. This is all out of our hands. There is a GOD and you’ll be blessed, no matter what. Trust.
I love people like you... GOD BLESS YOU. ive been blessed to be a very limited experiencer of OTHER'S transitions from living to the spirit existence... and what little I was shown was amazing and gives me hope... I hope he sees your comment and takes you up on a conversation... ive been directing him towards listening to NDE's since before his surgery as I'm a nurse and understand what he was facing... PAUL, love you brother!!! PLEASE CONTACT THIS PERSON❤❤❤
I’m one too. Nice to see you here. He doesn’t seem to want to embrace this, but I’d certainly tell him about it too. There’s nothing to fear.
You are in my prayers as well.
SAME! I Know What You Know - And I Have NO Fear at All Nor Would I Cry About Leaving ... We've Already Been Out of Body and WE KNOW Where Paul is Going is BETTER THAN WE ARE HERE! I wish there was a way to tell Paul but he'll know soon enough! Frankly, I'm happy for him! This experience is only one experience in a meat suit! I'd rather be back where I was - THE LOVE WAS AMAZING! That's why I can't date! Once you KNOW REAL LOVE, you don't want anything to do with the FAKE Love that's here in this Matrix ....
@@lindseyscott7133 The rulers of this Matrix want us to Fear Death when, in actuality, what is called "death" here is Actually ESCAPING THE MATRIX!
I dont know why people bother commenting negative things. You don't need it, no one does. Sending love from nsw
It's normally to invoke a reaction from people / trolling and ignoring them is the correct thing to do.
i don’t understand why people take time out of their day to comment stuff like that
@@babebee999 people can be completely heartless and enjoy bullying. They want attention…. Doesn’t matter what we would say to them.
Because they don't have enough to do. They need to get a job or a hobby.
Agreed!
Yes. Delete all negative comments. It is your channel, your rules. I cannot understand youtube channels who leave negative comments up. They should be deleted, no questions asked. Totally agree.
Praying for you Paul. Strength.
Everyone's definition of negative is different.
But I can understand when someone's sick they don't want to deal with any negativity.
It blows my mind how anyone could be so heartless and cruel to leave vicious comments to someone who is battling illness. Shame on them and love to Paul x
Don't let the jerks win! So many supportive people here. Ignore the jerks-they don't matter. Prayers for you Paul
It's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon here in southern England, and Paul, I am thinking of you. Several months ago I had no idea who you were, but your influence - however small - has changed my life for the better, and made me a wiser person in the way I interact with our world. You've done that. Can you know a stranger on the other side of the planet from a series of CZcams videos? Well, so what if you can't, I feel like we all do - and we are lucky to know you. We aren't going anywhere, not a single one of us. We'll all be with you, marching on, and on, and on, and on.
My dad passed away in august 2023. He chose to go to bed in his own home and stay there. His blood tests showed he had prostate cancer with extensive bone mets which he had probably had for years and had lived through this stage. He was nursed by myself and my sisters until he passed away 4 weeks after going to bed . Paul, my dad visited heaven a few days before he passed away on different occasions, and trust me when I say that my dad was not spiritual in the slightest. He said that it was beautiful and very peaceful and that he wanted to stay but couldn’t because my mum wasn’t there for him. This experience with my dad has completely changed my view . My dad was adamant where he was going and he described the feeling to his doctor when he visited him. Do not be scared . My thoughts are with you x
Paul sending you positive energy and prayers from Fl🥰😘💔🌴🦩🙏🙏🙏🙏Hugs Donna
Prayer Paul.
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
My Nana had very advanced dementia and kept asking me at the resthome if I'd seen Eben. I thought she meant my brother who had never visited her and I wondered why noone told me. Eventually it made sense.... she said he was up in the trees on the bank and kept waving at her asking why she's taking so long. This happened more than once.
Then I realised it was her first husband, my grandfather.... also called Eben. Deceased years earlier... he was waiting to collect her.
I am praying for you Paul. My hubby has been fighting cancer for 6 years now. Advanced stages multiple myeloma stage 3 :(.
I am sorry for your loss Tracey
Dear Paul, none of us have an expiration date stamped on us. We simply don’t know. When I lost my best friend who was my husband I thought of the miracle of time we were granted. It was all too short of course but each day was a gift. I didn’t lose hope until after his last breath. He never had any pain so that was a blessing too. Probably when the cancer went to the brain it cut sensory off. I wish you complete comfort. I hope for a miracle for you. I hope you do your favorite things as many times as you can. God bless you Paul.
Miracles can happen Paul, I am praying for one to happen to me, and to you 🙏
I'm sitting here ...68 years old...and healthy (for now...things can go south quickly at this age). I've been smoking for over 50 years...go figure. I've done everything wrong as far as lifestyle and so far have remained healthy. Following Paul's journey makes me realize how precious this life is and not to take ANYTHING for granted. Sending big hugs and prayers for strength through this overwhelming time.
You can’t consider yourself healthy when you’ve been a lifelong smoker. You gave done extensive damage to your body and statistically likely to die from lung cancer. You might want to consider stopping. Your luck will run out.
Commenting to show support. Well wishes from the USA.
We are with you Paul. You are a gift to the world. You are so very loved. 🌷
Good work ignoring the idiots mate, it's not worth anyone's time. You can't fix stupid.
Hang in there, brother... we love you!
❤❤
Mate, there are a lot of asshats on this planet, and you don't need one damn one of them in your life. I love the fact that you are cutting them off this channel. This channel is about love and support for you. Nothing less. Stay Aussie strong mate. Much love to you Paul.
I am really praying for you Paul. There is hope in Jesus.
Jesus is the leading cause of death. Didn't god invent cancer? If god wanted couldn't he do away with cancer? Can't worship a careless god like this one😮
I am a patient at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse in Sydney
I am disgusted that anyone would post negative comments
You have my prayers and unconditional support
I am disgusted as well . They should be ashamed of themselves for writing such horrible things. Sending you a virtual hug from 🇬🇧❤
What is a negative comment or What is a positive comment? The world is full of different opinions and views.
People can't help themselves sadly the side of humans including my so called family I've seen is disgraceful.. in saying that there is certainly more good than bad
@stillehavet4453 There is a noticeable difference between a negative comment and an opposing view. Anyone is capable of voicing an opposing view with compassion, so if a comment is negative, it is bc the opinion was expressed without it.
One can have an opinion that is 100% in contrast, yet still voice it effectively and compassionately. Otherwise, the opinion isn't benefitting the world (or changing opinions).
And in situations such as this, even kindly sharing an opposing view is usually wrong.
@@jessicawilson2772 Agree 💯👍
Hi buddy. I am a 50 something year old man from Canada. Know that you’ve made a difference and there is someone here thinking about you and will for as long as I’m around. I don’t have the words as I’m sure you can understand and many kilometres separate us. Were it possible I’d like to see you and give you a hug. You will have an enduring legacy. Thank you for putting yourself out there. Much love from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, in 🇨🇦.
You've touched the lives of a lot of strangers, Paul, and we care about you! I deeply hope things turn around because someone as obviously decent as you deserves many more years, but to paraphrase something you said in one of early post-diagnosis videos: if the afterlife consists of the impact we have on others through the memories they have of us and the lessons we pass on, your legacy will ripple far and wide into the future. Thanks to this CZcams channel and its ability to convey the beautiful person that you are, you've ensured a level of immortality for yourself. You've affected me deeply and I will remember you for the rest of my life!
Hi Len, thank you for reminding me of that. I needed to hear it. BTW, my father's name was Leonard, but everyone called him Len. Great name. Paul.
@@PaulinPerth No problem, and thanks! Odd coincidence because my father's name was Paul!
Will continue to pray for total healing. No one says it's over except the Lord. ❤
Untrue, voluntary assistance dying means the person with the terminal diagnosis decides. Their life, their choice.
Paul, that’s devastating news! I am hoping that there is something the doctors can do, even if it means ensuring you quality of life that you so much deserve. Your tears are raw and real, and it makes you truly human. Grieve well and live well. All the best energy in the universe sent your way for peace and love. You are much loved ❤
I am a medical professional. So I have seen cancer many times. Also worked with Death with Dignity. I really wish you don't have to go through this or anyone else for that matter. Sending Love your way. Remember you are still very much here ❤️ Greetings from Newport Oregon❤️
This world is a better place because of people like you. I have been following your journey now for several months and I cry along with you. You are with me in spirit and I am with you as far as your journey takes you. We love you Paul.
I'm not easily shocked at my advanced age, but the idea that anyone would deliberately hurt you -- you, of all people -- enrages me. Love, good thoughts, and prayers from L.A.
I’m facing stage 4 cancer myself, and I want you to know that your courage, positivity, strength, and resilience are incredibly inspiring. You’re surrounded by love and support every step of the way. Keep fighting and stay true to the amazing person you are.
Sending you love and positive energy.
Count me as your newest supporter, Paul. I care about you and what you're going through. I'm in your corner. ❤ -Honna
We got your six Paul. Nobody walks alone. You take a step, we take a step with you.
I’m sorry to hear this terrible news Paul. But let’s wait and see what the PET scan shows. I actually was half expecting you to be well on the way to recovery but it seems I was wrong about that. I’d recommend taking the available treatment. I remember a guy once say “it’s not over till it’s over.” And this can be true. There’s always a chance of a miracle, even if it’s not a very big chance. Sending you lots of love
Dear Father God in heaven. Please help Paul in his hour of need. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Amen
Amen!!!💕
Amen,,,,🙏❤️
Jesus please heal this man we love you Jesus.
Paul, let's wait and see what the pet scans show. It could be something that the doctors can cure with little discomfort but with amazing results for your future. Please don't think the end is near. Sending you love and only positive thoughts.
I’m so glad you have Caroline in your life. We can all channel out love for you through her. The world wouldn’t be so bad if we all had a Caroline in our lives. Thinking of you Paul ❤
So sorry to see this video Paul. I'm in Toronto and yesterday we had a total solar eclipse. Unfortunately it was overcast and I was a bit casual about the whole thing to begin with because I'm 61 and I've lived through a couple of eclipses already (otherwise I might have driven a few hours into better weather). But there was a very brief break in the cloud cover and so I grabbed my eclipse glasses and just managed to catch a glimpse of the sun, which was about 1/5 eclipsed, for maybe 10 seconds. And I realized that even though I have been alive for previous eclipses, I never actually looked at one directly before because I never had proper glasses. So I had seen pictures or video or watched them indirectly on a piece of cardboard. And I have to tell you - those 10 seconds were (literally) AWESOME. I'm not religious but I am in awe of the world and I really believe that we are so arrogant to think that science can make sense of it all. I wish you the very best on your journey, wherever it may take you. And if you've lived so far in relative peace, good health, a bit of comfort and with people in your life who love you, then you have have been more fortunate than millions and millions and millions of people.
You are absolutely right. Paul.
I’m so sorry, Paul ❤️🇨🇦
You deserve ALL POSITIVE comments. Praying for you Paul. You are in my thoughts 🫶🙏🏻
Paul, I'm so sorry to learn of this. I am rooting for you. You beat it once - you can do it again! ❤❤❤
Hello, fellow warrior! So glad you’ve decided to come back. No one should have to die-or live-without their community around them. I selfishly hope that you will keep fighting. I know that my world is definitely better with a little Paul in Perth in it. Sending love to all us Paul in Perthers ❤
Cancer is such a cruel disease .. this news is heartbreaking especially after the hope you had after the surgery. Prayers from the United States. 🥺🫶🏻
If I were you, you know what i'd do? I'd go to that cockatoo park, go on a rafting trip, go exploring somewhere! Unless your feet hurt too awfully much... but still, I would go out as much as i physically could and enjoy this wonderful world (or just australia) today! Living in the day and moment would be good, rather than dwelling on health issues... which is fine if you want to of course, but going out and having fun will brighten you up, I'm sure of it! Love you! Love and Light sent your way!!
When you have a cancer inside you it takes away everything you once held on to. It takes away any sense of control. All you do is wait for the next set of scan or blood test results. No matter how brave you try to be there are moments when you feel alone and frightened. Because ultimately it is you alone with this monster inside you. Crying is remedial. Never feel it shows weakness.
Be kind to yourself. Emotions are part and parcel of being alive. Smiling, crying, laughing-all part of wonderful life.
Paul regarding negative comments you OWE NOONE your time or attention. Hell, I cannot imagine what would prompt someone to write negative comments on a video where a person is updating people with his cancer. If someone ever did that I see no good intention behind it.
Please stay strong and much love!

People in society today are simply spiritually corrupt, so sorry Paul....I visited Francine today because of your generous heart dear Gentle Warrior......
If I have a diagnosis such as yours, I have already determined, and told my doctor, that I will not seek treatment. Sending peace and comfort your way.
I don’t want people to feel sorry for me if I had cancer. I wouldn’t even get chemotherapy. Very expensive. I would let cancer take me. As far as this guy goes I hope you stay strong
Paul. I'm so very sorrowful to hear this! Please know that, if it's okay with you, I'll keep you in my mind, in a bubble surrounded by light, by peace and serenity and love! Right now, it's a period of shock, I imagine, for you. Yet that will change, to were you'll feel super peaceful. At this time though, you must cry. Cry all you need to cry! Shout all you need to shout! And if it's okay with you, your supporters and special loving friends, will catch you and be with you, all the way and as long as you want/need!
🫂✨🙏🏼✨🫂🤗
With you in thought and in spirit, sweet Paul! From here, in Central Texas,

Prayers for you. I also have Peritoneal carcinoma and I also have nodules in my lungs AND a 2nd DVT in my legs. I was not a candidate for CRS/HIPEC. I’m really scared as I know you are. God be with you Paul❣️ Much Love from the state of Arkansas, USA❤
I also have appendix cancer and pmp. Also not a candidate for HIPEC. Been on pembrolizumab for a year with basically no adverse effects. When that topped working over to chemo and FOLFOX. Two week regimen where the first makes you really tired but the next is ok. When that stopped working they set me up on FOLFIRI so now i only have a couple of days in the 2-week cycle that is really ok. My wish is to move over to some new immune oncology drug. But they seems to be to distant. You feel that the development of new treatments does not move fast enough when you are on death row…
Prayers for you too, Fonda ❤
Prayers and love to you as well!
Sending my prayers and healing vibes your way, too. Trust in God and have faith he is leading you to where you are supposed to be. XOXO
🙏🙏
Hello from Canada. I'll say a prayer for you at Mass tomorrow, Paul.
Your life, you deal with this how you feel is the best option.Life-is for living and not how long we have. Keep living Paul🙏😘
Oh Paul I am SO sorry to learn this news. I've been thinking about you.
I volunteer at a hospice where VADs happen. This gives many patients peace of mind - being in control. Some patients have had up to 30 family & friends celebrating their life & saying goodbye personally. It can be lovely.
Paul, there is nothing wrong about crying. I‘m crying right now. I did not expect these bad news, as your scan results were quite promising. Life is so mean and unfair sometimes.
I‘ve been thinking about you constantly these last few weeks, hoping that you were doing o.k. 😢
Just the other day I damaged the driver‘s door of my Toyota Aygo and rewatched your video about paint codes.
Until I found your channel I had never followed a CZcamsr, but you made it into my heart…
You give us so much.
I wish I could help, but there is nothing I can do but sending as much love and care as I can
As always ❤
Bettina/Germany
Oh Paul, I hope that your grief lifts slightly so that you can have some happy times.
Please don’t consider VAD too early.
My mother passed 18 months ago of Pancreatic cancer.
7 weeks after diagnosis it was all over.
However in that time , all her 4 adult children moved back home to nurse her, we had happy hour, talked, invited our pets on her bed, we sang to her.
The moments of joy she had balanced the passing feelings of grief and dispair.
She died in her own home, in her gorgeous bedroom and she had all her children there.
Her job was done and we have no regrets on how we handled the last days.
Love and strength to you, and I hope you can find joy in the smallest things… as that is what life is really about.
Snippets of joy. 💕💕
Everyone here Lets start a prayer chain for Paul Plead with Jesus to heal this wonderful man.
This world becomes more disappointing to me as time goes on. How anyone could write any negative comments to such a nice person like you is beyond me. I'm so glad you have Caroline.
I stumbled upon your channel a while ago and have been impressed by how you deal with this fate. You're already a role model to me. Should I ever get such devastating diagnose, I want to handle it with as much dignity as you do. Thanks for inspiring us and for all the good advice (e.g. making a will, keeping your crucial data in a safe). Sending lots of strength for what lies ahead. Regards from Germany
He's pretty awesome 💯
He's a true trooper. Sue in Illinois 🇺🇸
Paul, I am so sorry to hear the news tonight. My heart my love and my prayers are with you. As a person battling cancer, I just want to thank you for all the good advice and wisdom you are imparting. It is very helpful and comforting to hear your advice for navigating this awful disease. You are a treasure and a rare gift, and I am WITH you. Thank you for showing the world how to live life genuinely and with such dignity. ❤️❤️❤️ -Jean
People who leave negative comments on positive people Are jerks! I believe in you. Praying for you 🙏
Dearest Paul, I’d like to share these words with you that I think you’ll find beautiful. Someone had recently shared them with a man that has terminal cancer and they are too beautiful and meaningful not to share with you.
“Cancer is so limited…..it cannot cripple LOVE, it cannot shatter HOPE, it cannot corrode FAITH, it cannot eat away at PEACE, it cannot destroy CONFIDENCE, it cannot kill FRIENDSHIP, it cannot shut out MEMORIES, it cannot silence COURAGE, it cannot invade the SOUL, it cannot reduce EXTERNAL LIFE, it cannot quench the SPIRIT, it cannot lessen the power of the RESURRECTION.”
These are such powerful words! You are so brave to share your journey with everyone. I know your story will help those facing the same fate.
Paul I'm so sorry to hear of this news. I think you're fortunate to live in a place that offers voluntary euthanasia. I'm in Kentucky and we don't have that here. I really hope that the PET scan gives you better news than expected. Wishing you the best!
I agree that quality is preferential to quantity. None of us know our death date-not even you. Live every day as though it is your last.
I am extremely grateful that we can access things like VAD. Giving people greater autonomy is extremely important and powerful. Even if it's not utilised having it as an option is so empowering! Much love from a fellow Perthian.
I’m sorry to hear that Paul.. 😕Wishing you loads of strength! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
No fear Paul. ⭐️
Love and light to you. 🙏
Paul, I've been following some of your videos to do some stuff to my Mazda. They're clear and straightforward, I like the way you explain.
I send you lots of strength and support your from the bottom of my heart! Take care and I wish you all the best!!!
Always supportive of you, mate! Know that it is not over till the fat lady sings. Having had one stage 2, two stage 3"s, one stage 4, had the last rites/sacraments at age 22, survived last year's 5-12 months prognoses, I am still around. Stranger things have happened. Keep going, just keep going.
Keep going, you have a good attitude! ❤
Paul keeping you in my prayers! Sending love❤!

I am a breast cancer survivor since 2003. My 48 yr. old daughter died April 3 of 2023
She lived with me the last 23 yrs. of her life. She had liver end stage disease, d 15:23 diastolic heart disease, kidney disease, and serious sleep apnea. She worked up to 2 months before she died. She had asities and the 2 and time her liver and kidney nos. were too bad to do the draining. We were told to go to a. big medical center where they would decide if she could have a liver transpl t.No was the decision
She went home with me and had home health. She fell and went to a local hospital. The Dr. told her didn't know when she would die.She loved a week, planned her funeral and saw family and friends to say goodbye. On Sunday Dr. told me she will die today or tomorrow, He stopped her treatment and she stayed there for Hospice care. She went into a coma thAt night and died early the next morning a peaceful death
She just stopped breathing. I was there and when I looked at her, I knew her spirit had left her body.i did not see her last breath. I knew she was with God. It has been a yr, the hardest yr. of my life without her but through faith I know only the body died, she will live for eternity. Someday I will see her again. This gives me peace I can live with. I celebrated her 1st heavenly birthday last week. This was the peace of God that brought me through her journey to heaven. I pray that you will seek this peace. Jesus is the answer. I will pray for you.God speed. 15:23

Dear Paul, I wish you Nothing but the best. You are such a beautiful soul..... I still hope for a miracle. ❤ Best wishes from Austria!
Much love to you, Paul. I’m not terminal but I’m living with an extremely debilitating condition. I know how hard life can be. However much time you have left, I hope you find as much joy as possible. You should be proud of the legacy you’ll be leaving here.
So sorry -cancer sucks. You're very brave sharing this - I hope things go well for your PET scan.
Paul, I have not commented for ages but how utterly horrendous and twisted someone would be negative. So awful to hear of your situation. Here if need someone to chat with. *hugs*
Paul, you’re one of the strongest people Ive seen in CZcams. Showing your experience to the world to help others. Sharing the bad news without blaming anyone, and sharing your feelings. I admire you. You deserve the best.
Love to you Paul. So brave yet tender. I feel like crying is a release. We on here ALL love you.
With God all things are possible!
God bless you friend. ❤
Paul, I am going to be praying for you every day. I cannot imagine anyone leaving negative comments and hope you know we care for you and will continue with you on your journey. Never feel that you are alone as so many people around the world care for you. Hang in there!!!
Good for you, Paul! There are some terrible bullies out there. Those bullies aren't trying to share their points of view. They are just being bullies. So, yes. I think it's a great idea to block them.
My heart is broken. I am so sorry Paul. 💔 When I go in for my cancer scans tomorrow I will be thinking of you.
I wish you the very best for your health ❣️
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and especially while you wait for your scan results.
@@piaogilvie8463 thank you ❤️
@@graniabenge2814 aww thank you! They forgot to book my follow up appointment, and when I chased them up I got one for 13th May. 😭 thats more than a month waiting, it’s all a waiting game and it stinks if you ask me 🤣❤️
Sending you a virtual hug from me in 🇬🇧😊
A gazillion hugs are coming your way Paul..🫶🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻
Hi Paul,
A lovely subscriber of ours told us about you so I thought I'd pop over and show you some Love x
We are living a nightmare too, walking this path with you and holding your hand tight xxxx
We also ignore the sad people that get a weird kick from other peoples suffering. They are the ones that are really suffering.
You know what made it click for me.....my identical twin sister Sooz who is dying the cruellest death from metastatic cervical cancer......she said to me one day............."Emma, oh my gosh....I am laying in this bed dealing with all this...and I am happier than them"..............
From that second on I knew that these horrid souls mean nothing....what they say means nothing and they WILL NEVER NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR LIVES OR WHAT WE DO OR OUR VALUES AND KINDNESS AND MORALS....Because we are already going through the worst thing that can ever happen to us xxx
Thinking of you
Paul, you are an incredible person. It has been such an honor to get to know you through your channel. As a terminal 35 year old, your outlook and strength has helped me tremendously. All the love from the USA. ❤
Paul I will continue to pray for you. You have been a great inspiration for me as my hubby is battling cancer. I know that whatever you do is the right thing for you . Crying for me is healing and releases my hurt! I am so sad to hear this news. You have been through a lot. Also still trying to heal from surgery. I pray for your tears to lesson for you as that is what you want. You are a wonderful soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Much love from the US!
All I can say is that I care so very much. I wish I could take away the disease. I wish I could take away the sadness. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
I truly hope that you get yourself on a regular pain management schedule. You can either be in pain & live in physical and emotional misery, or, increase your quality of life by taking meds that are strong enough to handle the pain, yet will not knock you out.
It was drilled into my head, by my mom's doctor, to give her her dilaudid doses at the same time every day - whereas treating her pain only when it was bad enough, didn't work well. It meant that she was always in some kind of pain. My mom never took pills, she especially didn't want to take "pain pills" and that caused her to suffer needlessly - until she felt the difference herself.
Once we changed it, she had no more pain and began to not only sleep at night, but she enjoyed conversations again and smiling.
Unfortunately, she hated the nerve medication, (gabapentin), which was to help with her neuropathy. She not only experienced no relief, but instead, gained sleep disturbances 1-2 hours into her night, as well as nightmares. So she stopped taking it.
(Some people do well on it and some don't)
What kind of person would leave a negative comment here? Don’t let them have the power to hurt you Paul. I’m glad you are blocking them. May the Lord bless, heal and keep you safely in His hands🤲
🙏💙🩵
I would rather see you cry than stuff it all in. You do not need to apologize to any of us. It’s the beauty of being human. I’d cry with you if I were there!
My sister's ex-boss was told 6 months to live with multiple myloma without treatment. He lived 2.5 years.
Sometimes, treatment is worse than the disease itself.
There is absolute guarantee that one lives longer with chemo.
"Take a poison in the hope to live longer"; not making sense at all.
Pray, dont make a hasty decision to go for MAID- leave the date to God.
May God Bless you and Guide you.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
❤ Paul, I will always be with you along your journey and please.Know that you have given much much more than a list for people to go by. You have given so much of yourself your experiences.Your thoughts, your energies?And I applaud you for that. I'm one of your mates from the U.S and i'm glad that carolyn is with you. Cheers Mary❤
So good to see you, Paul. I'm sure I speak for many when I say we think of you often.
Glad you're doing things your way, meantime 🙏
Yes, we do xo
I left my earlier comment while not quite halfway thru video , Paul in Perth , I think you are a very brave Human being, what ever you decide will be the right choice for you and we will be here for you thought it all ❤
Just come across this video Paul.
From conception to natural death, all life is precious.
Praying for you brother, super super sorry to hear about your situation
As a cancer survivor, I was 26 when it started, it amazed me how nobody, save for one or two, that were in medicine, would tell me how they planned on making me well. It was very discouraging, and very terrifying, and very lacking in positivity. Finally, one young doctor in training gave me hope and some things I could do to at least give me a sense of control and hope for my future. Even a lie, would have been better than the feeling I got from them. As it turns out, people do live, people do thrive, and people with cancer, even very bad ones do go on to beat it. I did, and every day is a gift. Others survive too, but positivity, I believe is key. You will cry, it's normal, you also will laugh, it will be a rollercoaster. You're not going anywhere someone else hasn't gone before. Get joy from each day, in some way or another. I learned that had I not had cancer, I could just as easily have lost my life accidently in any number of circumstances. Our future isn't certain, but today I choose happiness, I find it a much better fit, and I like those around me to do the same.
The same here, I got my cancer at 26, doctors missed it and at home all I got was gaslighting.😟
So glad to see you. I have missed! Much love
