Yeah, but the 3-year survival rate for stage 4 colon cancer is extremely low, and the 5-year survival is almost zero. But still hard to believe when you care about someone. 😢
Proud of you dude! I’m heading into my one year scan (I’ve had 2 after treatment scans) so far for stage 3 colon cancer, both were NED. Best thing I ever did was decide at the very beginning to look at cancer logically rather than emotionally…was a game changer. You are inspiring a lot of people by sharing your story & progress etc. and that is priceless!
Joan -- that is INCREDIBLE, OMGGG!!! Those 3 little letter...NED. They mean a lot, don't they. I'm going to get an NED tattoo as soon as I'm there. Way to go beating your challenge, and I agree -- it's hard not to get emotional (and I totally have, btw), but hitting it head-on with a "well, let's do what has to be done" attitude like you're doing, helps me stay focused as well. Thank you for sharing!
Continuing to kick some cancer ass! Love it! You’ve been on my mind a lot the last few days, so I was so happy to see this update before bed. Hugs and talk to you soon!
Dr. Dan, Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoy following your progress and appreciate your straight forward positive attitude. I am on a similar journey. Diagnosed in 3/2017 Stage 3 CRC. Same therapy regime with APR and Perm Colostomy. Reoccurrence in 2019 with 3 lymph nodes in left groin and a right lung nodule. Currently receiving FAM-Trastuzumab Deruxtecan-Nxki 100 every 21 days. I am doing very well and responding to treatment. One thing you might look into is a gene mutation call Her2. I have it and that explains the reoccurrence. Might be worth having your medical team rule this out for you as Her2 does not respond well to traditional chemo. I wish you all the best and look forward to hearing of your FULL recovery.
Thank you for the update. I'm very glad to hear that you are doing so well and that your family has been down to help/support you thru the surgery and recovery. Continued prayers as you continue this battle.
Dr Dan, I am about to have liver resection surgery (though I am fortunate to not have cancer, just a very large benign growth) and was interested to hear what exercises you did during your recovery and how long until you could do intense exercise.
Wow! Nice job Doc. You are back in the gym so quick. So, happy for you. Though I am now also embarrassed I am not hitting the gym frequently by making random excuses, LOL.
Damn cancer. This fit man is now dead. By that same cancer. I just ended an 5.5-month chemo regimen myself and it's no joke. My case was stage 1 but nothing's 100% sure with cancer.
Rip Dan..... 2 years from this video you lost your fight but it was a hell of a fight. I wish you would have gone to better doctors because in my opinion they failed you. You weren't given the best trials the cancers grew back and it was a losing battle.....
I can't believe your gone. 😢 RIP Dr Dan. ❤
I can’t believe he’s gone 😢
Yeah, but the 3-year survival rate for stage 4 colon cancer is extremely low, and the 5-year survival is almost zero. But still hard to believe when you care about someone. 😢
Your positivity through your journey was mind blowing and much to be admired! We miss you!
I just watched John video of Dr. Dan near the end. How could this happen to this man? I am a 2-time cancer survivor. Stage 4.
It is wonderful you are doing so well. How did you do it? Yes, so sad about Dr. Dan. 😢

I see your videos coming up as i stroll, I can't believe you are gone, R.I.P.

Thanks, Amin!! And hey, even a little exercise is way better than none. Don't make it too hard on yourself, start super easy :)
@@DrDanSays Totally agreed. Will hit the gym again.
Miss you so much❤
The world lost a great man. I'm sad.
Damn cancer. This fit man is now dead. By that same cancer. I just ended an 5.5-month chemo regimen myself and it's no joke. My case was stage 1 but nothing's 100% sure with cancer.
Update please?
He has passed away😢
Hope that you are ok
Dr Dan passed away😢
Anyone heard anything on Dr. Dan? It’s been 3 months… hope all is well.
Very concerning
I was wondering the same thing. I pray he is doing good.
He's tweeted a few times in the past couple of weeks so I'll take that as a good sign.
Dr Dan passed away😢
@@StinglikeaBea I know 😢. I’ve been keeping up with his mom and brother. Just devastating.
How are you doing? Waiting for an update.
He has passed away😢
Looking good!!! How's it going? It's July now and thinking about you!!!!
Doing much better, thank you, Marlene -- I'm doing much better!! :)
@@DrDanSays That's wonderful!!! Keep moving forward!!!!💖
Hey just curious what kind of chemo drugs were you on :)
💟
How are you?
Dr Dan passed away
Are you still alive was this the same man dying from cancer
He passed away back in July. We all miss him
Rip Dan..... 2 years from this video you lost your fight but it was a hell of a fight. I wish you would have gone to better doctors because in my opinion they failed you. You weren't given the best trials the cancers grew back and it was a losing battle.....
I'm also thinking that, the tumors were not growing for a long while, then he changed regimen and all went to hell pretty quickly.
I don't know why they didn't use the HIPEC surgery for him. Should be pretty standard.
I miss you . Where are you ?
