God bless you all. Any support during this challenging time-whether through donations, shares, or kind words- is deeply appreciated: gofund.me/c3e2410b
You really did suffer a lot. From mental health, TRT, health and fitness, etc., and now this! Life is rough, and the fact that you are still able to smile every time your dad jokes is refreshing. (P.S., I have been following you quietly from the start. Hang in there!)
@everythinganytimeanywhere So why do all you god believers use the medical system? It's interesting how god never does anything by itself. Always some human involved. 🤔
That’s amazing, so glad your dad beat cancer, having a 4 is basically a death sentence and he beat it. So happy you still have your dad. God bless you and Dad🙏🏻🌹
@@alphaomega1351 bro God cures you either it is through any prayer, angel, human, treatment or without treatment. What you think, in this world all humans have access to doctors. Poor people have no money for treatment or doctors.
Prayers continue for you, Noah. Thank you for the update. When I saw your dad in the video yesterday, I thought he looked familiar. I had no idea your dad is Dr. Paul!! What a blessing! ❤
Gosh, what a fantastic dad you have!! He loves you so very much!! Everyone with eyes and ears can tell. I’m so glad it went well and you found out that your liver is looking great. That was a concern of mine when I got sober. Mine looks great, too, and I’m so grateful for that.
Wow! Your dad is so well informed and has an ability to explain things with such clarity and detail. So much appreciate!!! I’m glad you’re doing better.
I don't know why this came up in my feed, but maybe it's because I had my entire colon removed four years ago. I was lucky -- no need for a bag, they just stitched the ileum to the rectum and I've been fine ever since. This video brings those post-op days back so strongly. But you have one great asset here -- your dad. What a wonderful relationship you two seem to have. Thank you for sharing this, and best of luck with what comes next. I'm rooting for you.
So inspiring and touching to see a wonderful father and son. Tearing up. Sorry that you had to go through this trauma, but you are a healthy man and I’m sure will live cancer free for the rest of your life. God bless!
You got this buddy. Enjoy your life Noah . This is what We all get reminded of at one point in our lives . Noah You have been through a lot and are going to be just fine.
Start with soft foods bananas are great 👍 its ok to wait for hunger and tummy rumbles before trying to eat. Love your relationship with your pops. When i had my 2 bowel surgeries this year my dad came everyday to check on me too.
I watched your videos on your alcoholism during the worst periods of my life and you assisted me in continuing to live each day with your advice I’m amazed by your courage brother it’s a huge inspiration in my life and now i know you will get thru this!! we love you man 💚
Retired Operating Room Nurse here. You are doing remarkably well considering how much surgery you’ve gone through. Keep moving but be careful not to do “too much” at the moment. Remember that was a lot of surgery with a certain amount of blood loss. Much lower blood loss due to robotic surgery compared to open abdominal surgery. I always had to remind the laparoscopic pts that just because they only see a few bandaids on their tummy that there was a lot more incisions on the inside. 😉 Try not to let the pain get ahead of you. They can always titrate your IV dosage lower or a lower dosage of oral medication if you’re feeling too woosy. As far as Chemo goes, well that’s between you and your Oncologist. A lot will depend on the report regarding your lymph nodes and if there was any cancer spread there. Make sure to do your follow up appointments and scans. Hopefully you will get to go home soon. Just follow the post op instructions. Walk and then rest. Enjoy the Holidays 🎄☃️ Sending you lots of prayers ❤☺️ ~CeCe
I was diagnosed with colon cancer in April 2024, had surgery in May and am right now NED. Thank you Jesus! Mine was stage 2b. I will keep you and your family in prayer, Noah.
As a Nurse let me suggest that you rest instead of pushing yourself...This is a big surgery and I am so grateful they were able to reconnect your bowel so Quickly...you and your family are definitely in my prayers 🍀🙏
I'm not a nurse but have been through multiple procedures. When I heard he had already been walking I went nuts. Sure movement is good but after such major surgery I don't think it is wise.
No they get folks up after heart transplant,, the next day,and walk! But u r right, he is going to have to rest, no lifting, He may be ok to walk. There are more and more and more younger folks having Stage 4 Colon Cancers!!!!! Use to be unheard of. Pet Scans, Lab work, Tumor Markers will be done. Always, use pain meds, almost impossible to catch up to pain if not managed. NoNo does look good, his Dad will be a great support person him being a Dr. Along w/lovely wife, Mom, others.
noah, im sure youre feeling tons of anxiety and uncertainty. but you are a BEAST and you will beat this. i'm 28 now, but around 6 years ago I started my journey with panic disorder and hypochondria and your videos were a safe space and important part of my recovery! i'm a much different man than i was then, and i have to attest a part of that to you. now i am here to do the same that you did for me and provide you a reminder of how strong a human being you are.
Prayers being said for you. I am battling Chronic Pancreatitis, which started in early 2019, due to having an ERCP. After having this procedure done I was home 2 hrs and I was begging God to hurry it up, if I was dying. When I got back to the hospital, I was diagnosed with NECROTIZING PANCREATITIS. I have struggled for the past 7 yrs with flare ups and being in and out of the hospital. I had fluid leak into my abdomen and I had to wait for a pseudo cyst to form before they could drain the fluid out. I ended up having to have a GJ Tube placed and I had stents placed to drain the fluid. After all this, I was then diagnosed with Gastroparesis and I had a Gastric Stimulator placed. I have had to really fight with the Dr's since all this has happened. When I had the onset of NECROTIZING PANCREATITIS, I was told that my enzymes were used up and that my labs would always look fine. But when I have to go to the ER, getting the Dr's to understand this is almost impossible. With all the issues I'm having I'm so very scared that the Dr's are blowing me off and they might miss something important. I'm so tired and exhausted that I just want to give up. 😢 But I'm not ready to at this point. I pray that you recover from this🙏.
I appreciate you posting your recovery each day. You rock. What an added blessing having your Dad with you on your posts. Prayers for continued healing. Love you, Auntie Becky ❤
Hard to see you like this and in the Hospital, but as usual your spirits are up and its clear as day you will have an amazing recovery. Also so good to see how much love and tenderness your dad has towards you, I know you guys have had a rough relationship but this will really heal more than you think. My thoughts are with you today.
Hey Noah! Years ago, I found your channel through your dad's UA-cam channel. I watched your journey on your channel for a long time. I stopped watching when your channel went in a different direction. Then your dad retired his channel. Anyway, your channel just came up on my UA-cam feed, and I was literally in a state of shock to find out about your surgery and cancer. I knew from previous videos that you had some chronic stomach issues. I am so glad the surgery was considered a success for right now. You and your dad explained it really well. I remember you used to drink bone broth. I am sending healing vibes your way. Please do NOT overdo it and try and do major physical stuff. Take baby steps. The incisions actually looked very small, considering all they did. You are such a good person, and I am sorry this happened. But I have faith that you will recover. Your dad is awesome, and it was good to see him again. ❤❤🙏🙏 Glad you have your family support there.
I had a resection surgery where they removed 16 ft of my colon. Be careful eating-it takes a while to really be able to eat. I was in the hospital for 10 days and I didn’t really eat anything until that last day. I will tell that depression plays a huge part in cancer recovery. Especially when those chemo drugs kick in. Being positive does help, but cancer really knows how to rearrange your life. Do take it easy, it does take a while to heal from this surgery! Your chemo will be based on the staging of your tumor and if those inflamed lymph nodes come back positive for cancer. I am sending positive vibes your way for a speedy recovery. Also, There are a lot of great colon cancer organizations where you can get plenty of information and support!💙
Noah, you've got this! ❤ It hurts like the devil, but every day will get better! Once the body gets used to its new configuration, it'll stop screaming at you. 😊
Good hearing your story It was very nice to see you both and it was funny at the end of the video talking about fainting and crapping your pants and all that 😅 prayers for continued healing 🙏
You are doing incredibly well! I’m sure your great health going into this is working in your favor. Take it easy! I would have had a full blown out panic attack with all that blood. It makes total sense, but my mind immediately goes to the worst case scenario. It’s good that you didn’t spend time in that headspace. We are all pulling for you!
You and your dad are my addiction heroes Noah. You've got this and remember that fear is a healthy and normal emotion so long as it's not crippling. Lean on your loved ones and thank you for sharing your story. God bless you.
Gentle hugs…take it easy & don’t overdo it Noah. Glad you are on the mend & are in such good spirits. YOU HAVE GOT THIS! PRAYERS… Yay for your wife & Dr Dad lol hugs ~ A nurse
My husband had lung cancer and did great ; ten years later he had colon cancer. He lived 14 years after that , with no problem from it . He never had any treatments. Blessings for a full long life. 🙏🙏
Noah I pray your doing well prayers going up for you you are definitely a blessing Amen Amen I’m so glad your not suffering in so much pain as you were keep strong❤
Noah for years I admired how articulate you were and good at speaking. I see partially where you get that from. Your dad is sharp guy. I’m praying for you man. You’ve been one of the biggest influences in my life without you knowing. You got this homie.
Hi I just had major abdominal surgery too... I am just a few weeks post op! I had a sudden lower GI bleed out of no where! My next colonoscopy wasn't due for another year! Anyway, I went to ER immediately as I was bleeding, it sounds like the same exact area your mass was I had too. I had hemicolectomy, with a appendectomy, 36 lymphs removed, and the artery & vein removed to where the colon mass area was. And the bowel Resection as they found other polyps as well. All my margins are clear, the malignant mass seems to have been contained, no spread to lymphs or outside of colon. I am early staged, my oncologist said being on Coumadin saved my life, as I bled very very early on, the cancer was starting to chew at the colon wall, I bled as if I was stage 3 or 4. But it bled so early on with me on Coumadin for a blood clotting disorder already as A-fib. So, I had a lot removed. I already have stage 4 thyroid cancer, but, this adenocarcinoma of the colon is nothing connected to my thyroid cancer. So, I have a primary thyroid cancer and primary colon cancer. My lymphs are all clear and no treatment is needed for the colon cancer. I would still be sure to follow along with a oncologist as I think you are. I have had many surgeries, but, this was rough. It takes a while to recover. I am only a few weeks out from surgery, but spent 3 weeks in the hospital, I needed blood transfusions, and iron Infusions too before surgery, and off Coumadin on Heparin IV to protect the blood clotting issue since my Coumadin was stopped temporarily until few days post op. Honestly the Norco ( hydrocodone) works best for my pain, it lasts longer than IV pain meds. I had the choice of anything I wanted for pain, but allergic to many things, but the Norco works best for ME. Of course, I lost so much blood, I still have low hemoglobin, as I lost so much blood! I am home now, I have home healthcare nurses coming to my home, and physical therapy coming too my home too, it's awesome actually to have home health care. I am actually taking flintstones multiple vitamins chewable, and drink a cup of water, these vitamins have iron added, and my hemoglobin is going back up very nice already. After 3 weeks in. Now home with home healthcare coming & going is awesome! Flu season is really bad in Florida as RSV, Influenza and COVID are spreading rapidly. Thankfully I got home. I didn't want to catch a virus in the hospital. Be careful, viruses are going around!! Take it easy, you will do well..... I just came across your video, as I just am post op too... Sounds like the same areas we had the mass Thankfully, my surgeon did the appendix removal and everything else I listed plus .. I was a surgery nurse for many years, always took care of patients with bowel surgeries, never thought I would ever go through this honestly! Having 2 primary cancers is scary, and frustrating, as I never have smoked or not drink, I take care of myself. My oncologist is sending off my pathology slides to see if there is any mutations from the tumor or anything possible genetic ... I will check back in with you all. Take one day at a time, and eat slowly. I have learned to eat differently for sure post op.... Saying a prayer 🙏
i haven't seen your vids for a while, going through our busy life style and didnt realize who your dad was who i also follow.. small world. you got this bud, heal up and move on to the smiles and good stories.
I left you message saying how I prayed for you today I found blood in my stools as well as yesterday,ive been having pain in my belly for months but I hid it from my family...I hope I can rest my mind and that its is not cancer...Im only 28 years old.I hope you recover well and always be in good health hugs from Portugal
Hi again! I’m caught up with it mostly now. You two are brilliant on camera, please keep it up! It’s heartwarming to see such a connection between you, and I love your straight forward no nonsense explanations, these videos will help so many people and that’s so good for YOU. Much love and best wishes you lovely gents!❤ 🇬🇧 x
Thank you so much for sharing this experience I really appreciate it.. I got a positive on a test for cancer cells and watching your journey through this is definitely helping!! I'm trying to find out as much as I can about colon cancer .Thank you again
I just began following your channel. I can already tell you are a wonderful person. No disrespect, but you have the saddest most soulful eyes. I got chills just looking into them, even on video. My life seems hopeless and so sad right now, but I’m going to be following you and I know you can lift me up. So glad to hear you are doing so well post-op
It's good to see that you are in such a great place mentally to get you through what you are going through!🙂 I am surprised to hear they took out so much intestine & ileum for the size of the tumor described. I would have definitely wanted a biopsy & minimal extraction, if needed. However, I also know I am a very conservative healthcare person, & try every natural approach under the sun before medical intervention, for better or worse. Great to hear about your liver!👍🙂 With regard to starting to eat again, I would definitely stay away from sugar (including jello), as I am sure you know that sugar feeds cancer. Due to bad auto-immune issues, acne & cycts I have had, I am personally on a whole food, oil-free, sugar-free diet (including no fruit or high-sugar veggies, such as no sweet potatoes, & very rarely eat carrots, etc.). On this strict whole foods diet, sans sugar & oil, my autoimmune symptoms, acne & cycts have completely gone away. Also, fyi, in addition to sugar & oil -- milk & milk products have also often caused me to have acne & cysts (in random places -- cysts on my leg, arm, breast, etc.), so I would not be surprised if milk products have also caused me to have internal cysts that I may not have been aware of, but may have been responsible for some excruciating esophageal &/or lower ab pain I have experienced in the past. That is why I mentioned before that I would have tried a very strict diet first, eliminating all milk products, oil & sugar to see if that may had made the cysty-tumor reduce in size & go away over time. I have had visible surface cysts take close to a year to go away, but they eventually did -- completely when I finally went on my strict diet. And, I have not had any cysts since being on my strict whole food (sans sugar, non-A2 milk products & oil) diet. Knock on wood this continues to be the case. It may be a very boring diet, but definitely worth being pain & symptom-free. I have recently learned about & tested out A2 milk products & find they don't cause me to break out or get cysts like non-A2 milk products have always done. However, I do have very high hereditary cholesterol, so I have discontinued even A2 milk products at this point to see if it brings my cholesterol down. But, for someone who may want to try to keep milk & milk products in their diet, I suggest trying A2 products, which can be found at Whole Foods & other health food stores. I hope sharing my journey & recovery from my health issues via a very strict whole food diet may be of some help to you. Hospital food is notoriously unhealthy, so it would be ideal if family can bring you healthy WHOLE foods such as: - plain baked meat, fish, organic eggs - brown rice (I personally prefer brown Basmati rice; also fyi, I get constipated from eating white rice, whereas brown rice actually helps me to be very regular) - boiled potatoes - steamed veggies (though be careful with onions because they can irritate the gut) - some gentle gut-helpful herbal teas (e.g., peppermint, bay leaf, licorice root, etc.), which can be made from loose herbs in an infuser tea mug, if can't find herbs in bag form. Continued wishes to you for all the very best & a speedy full recovery!
So glad your dad is there to support you and explain. Wishing you all the best. Despite surgery recovery, is your intense abdominal pain you suffered gone now?
Hey guys! Noah, your looking really good for what you have been through. You are going to be surprised on how fast you heal. Your dad is great! Love hearing from you both. Hang in there and keep healing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I kinda happy im not the only one who felt like they falling backwards or dropping when I'd try sleep on intravenous pain meds..ooh was so scary... hope u have quick healing an are completely C free God bless to ur family as well. How wonderful u have a village❤❤ Dr Paul hey hey....ur amazing sir❤
Prayers your way brother ! You have no idea how our paths are intertwined and what you’ve done for me …not only from a TRT standpoint but from an addiction battle that I’m currently in ….Dr. Axe and Chris Cured Cancer are amazing resources! Don’t let the medical industry make you feel rushed into making decisions on what to do next …which may affect your health ….sit and pray on it …Love you brother ❤
Much the same as my breast cancer. I was called as Stage 2B because cancer was found in one of my five lymph nodes they took out and tested. There was also one area of the breast, where the original tumor was found, that did not have clear margins. Another surgery, and they took out all the lymph nodes under my arm and some more breast tissue. So then I had six chemo treatments three weeks apart, and 33 radiation treatments (every weekday). I am 15 years cancer-free. God bless you! Praying for complete healing! God bless you! ❤️
God bless you all. Any support during this challenging time-whether through donations, shares, or kind words- is deeply appreciated: gofund.me/c3e2410b

Hi Noah and Dr Paul, you are both lovely people. I’ll be praying for you Noah.
Noah I pray your doing well prayers going up for you you are definitely a blessing Amen Amen I’m so glad your not suffering in so much pain as you were keep strong❤
Noah for years I admired how articulate you were and good at speaking. I see partially where you get that from. Your dad is sharp guy. I’m praying for you man. You’ve been one of the biggest influences in my life without you knowing. You got this homie.
Hi I just had major abdominal surgery too... I am just a few weeks post op! I had a sudden lower GI bleed out of no where! My next colonoscopy wasn't due for another year! Anyway, I went to ER immediately as I was bleeding, it sounds like the same exact area your mass was I had too. I had hemicolectomy, with a appendectomy, 36 lymphs removed, and the artery & vein removed to where the colon mass area was. And the bowel Resection as they found other polyps as well. All my margins are clear, the malignant mass seems to have been contained, no spread to lymphs or outside of colon. I am early staged, my oncologist said being on Coumadin saved my life, as I bled very very early on, the cancer was starting to chew at the colon wall, I bled as if I was stage 3 or 4. But it bled so early on with me on Coumadin for a blood clotting disorder already as A-fib. So, I had a lot removed. I already have stage 4 thyroid cancer, but, this adenocarcinoma of the colon is nothing connected to my thyroid cancer. So, I have a primary thyroid cancer and primary colon cancer. My lymphs are all clear and no treatment is needed for the colon cancer. I would still be sure to follow along with a oncologist as I think you are. I have had many surgeries, but, this was rough. It takes a while to recover. I am only a few weeks out from surgery, but spent 3 weeks in the hospital, I needed blood transfusions, and iron Infusions too before surgery, and off Coumadin on Heparin IV to protect the blood clotting issue since my Coumadin was stopped temporarily until few days post op. Honestly the Norco ( hydrocodone) works best for my pain, it lasts longer than IV pain meds. I had the choice of anything I wanted for pain, but allergic to many things, but the Norco works best for ME. Of course, I lost so much blood, I still have low hemoglobin, as I lost so much blood! I am home now, I have home healthcare nurses coming to my home, and physical therapy coming too my home too, it's awesome actually to have home health care. I am actually taking flintstones multiple vitamins chewable, and drink a cup of water, these vitamins have iron added, and my hemoglobin is going back up very nice already. After 3 weeks in. Now home with home healthcare coming & going is awesome! Flu season is really bad in Florida as RSV, Influenza and COVID are spreading rapidly. Thankfully I got home. I didn't want to catch a virus in the hospital. Be careful, viruses are going around!! Take it easy, you will do well..... I just came across your video, as I just am post op too... Sounds like the same areas we had the mass Thankfully, my surgeon did the appendix removal and everything else I listed plus .. I was a surgery nurse for many years, always took care of patients with bowel surgeries, never thought I would ever go through this honestly! Having 2 primary cancers is scary, and frustrating, as I never have smoked or not drink, I take care of myself. My oncologist is sending off my pathology slides to see if there is any mutations from the tumor or anything possible genetic ... I will check back in with you all. Take one day at a time, and eat slowly. I have learned to eat differently for sure post op.... Saying a prayer 🙏
i haven't seen your vids for a while, going through our busy life style and didnt realize who your dad was who i also follow.. small world. you got this bud, heal up and move on to the smiles and good stories.
I left you message saying how I prayed for you today I found blood in my stools as well as yesterday,ive been having pain in my belly for months but I hid it from my family...I hope I can rest my mind and that its is not cancer...Im only 28 years old.I hope you recover well and always be in good health hugs from Portugal
Glad it went well. Your Dad a fine man. Lots of love and light to you and your family 💙💙✨✨✨
Looks like you're doing great with wonderful supportive parents!
Hi again! I’m caught up with it mostly now. You two are brilliant on camera, please keep it up! It’s heartwarming to see such a connection between you, and I love your straight forward no nonsense explanations, these videos will help so many people and that’s so good for YOU. Much love and best wishes you lovely gents!❤ 🇬🇧 x
Glad to see your doing good thx for explaining all this. Looks like a road to pleasant recovery brother
Thank you so much for sharing this experience I really appreciate it.. I got a positive on a test for cancer cells and watching your journey through this is definitely helping!! I'm trying to find out as much as I can about colon cancer .Thank you again
Sending prayers 🙏
You’re handling everything with incredible grace. ❤
Prayers for continued healing.
I just began following your channel. I can already tell you are a wonderful person. No disrespect, but you have the saddest most soulful eyes. I got chills just looking into them, even on video. My life seems hopeless and so sad right now, but I’m going to be following you and I know you can lift me up. So glad to hear you are doing so well post-op
so glad your doing well Your lucky to have a dad as a doctor.
It's good to see that you are in such a great place mentally to get you through what you are going through!🙂 I am surprised to hear they took out so much intestine & ileum for the size of the tumor described. I would have definitely wanted a biopsy & minimal extraction, if needed. However, I also know I am a very conservative healthcare person, & try every natural approach under the sun before medical intervention, for better or worse.
Great to hear about your liver!👍🙂
With regard to starting to eat again, I would definitely stay away from sugar (including jello), as I am sure you know that sugar feeds cancer. Due to bad auto-immune issues, acne & cycts I have had, I am personally on a whole food, oil-free, sugar-free diet (including no fruit or high-sugar veggies, such as no sweet potatoes, & very rarely eat carrots, etc.). On this strict whole foods diet, sans sugar & oil, my autoimmune symptoms, acne & cycts have completely gone away. Also, fyi, in addition to sugar & oil -- milk & milk products have also often caused me to have acne & cysts (in random places -- cysts on my leg, arm, breast, etc.), so I would not be surprised if milk products have also caused me to have internal cysts that I may not have been aware of, but may have been responsible for some excruciating esophageal &/or lower ab pain I have experienced in the past. That is why I mentioned before that I would have tried a very strict diet first, eliminating all milk products, oil & sugar to see if that may had made the cysty-tumor reduce in size & go away over time. I have had visible surface cysts take close to a year to go away, but they eventually did -- completely when I finally went on my strict diet. And, I have not had any cysts since being on my strict whole food (sans sugar, non-A2 milk products & oil) diet. Knock on wood this continues to be the case. It may be a very boring diet, but definitely worth being pain & symptom-free.
I have recently learned about & tested out A2 milk products & find they don't cause me to break out or get cysts like non-A2 milk products have always done. However, I do have very high hereditary cholesterol, so I have discontinued even A2 milk products at this point to see if it brings my cholesterol down. But, for someone who may want to try to keep milk & milk products in their diet, I suggest trying A2 products, which can be found at Whole Foods & other health food stores.
I hope sharing my journey & recovery from my health issues via a very strict whole food diet may be of some help to you.
Hospital food is notoriously unhealthy, so it would be ideal if family can bring you healthy WHOLE foods such as:
- plain baked meat, fish, organic eggs
- brown rice (I personally prefer brown Basmati rice; also fyi, I get constipated from eating white rice, whereas brown rice actually helps me to be very regular)
- boiled potatoes
- steamed veggies (though be careful with onions because they can irritate the gut)
- some gentle gut-helpful herbal teas (e.g., peppermint, bay leaf, licorice root, etc.), which can be made from loose herbs in an infuser tea mug, if can't find herbs in bag form.
Continued wishes to you for all the very best & a speedy full recovery!
Noah, our prayers are with you and your family.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Prayers your way brother ! You have no idea how our paths are intertwined and what you’ve done for me …not only from a TRT standpoint but from an addiction battle that I’m currently in ….Dr. Axe and Chris Cured Cancer are amazing resources! Don’t let the medical industry make you feel rushed into making decisions on what to do next …which may affect your health ….sit and pray on it …Love you brother ❤
Prayers and good vibes for a speedy recovery !
Love and strength to you Noah ❤
Keep praying for your recovery Noah, stay strong. Best wishes from Argentina
I'm so happy you are healing well.
Much the same as my breast cancer. I was called as Stage 2B because cancer was found in one of my five lymph nodes they took out and tested. There was also one area of the breast, where the original tumor was found, that did not have clear margins. Another surgery, and they took out all the lymph nodes under my arm and some more breast tissue. So then I had six chemo treatments three weeks apart, and 33 radiation treatments (every weekday). I am 15 years cancer-free. God bless you! Praying for complete healing! God bless you! ❤️
