Back at work, back in the gym & next surgery!
1-month post-op liver resection, and doing great!
Since then:
- Back in the gym in 2 weeks
- Went back to work after 3 weeks
- Have hiked over 2 marathons in distance since surgery
- Next surgery in a month (colon resection). Expecting 3 weeks off from work
- Then removing the ostomy bag (after 2 weeks, with 3 week recovery)
Thank you so much for all of your support!!

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!
You are the most positive person I know. So inspiring. Take care 🌼
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!

Hell yes, Kimberly!! Thank you for being in my corner, you're awesome. Sending lots of love your way!!
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.
Wonderful update news! You're "taking care of business," that's for sure!
Very happy that you are doing amazing. Still sending prayers and love from Georgia
So glad you are doing great. Sending prayers n love. God bless
You’re just incredible. Positive attitude will take you far. You can beat this without a doubt. -Kim🙋🏻♀️

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.
Hope that you are ok
Update please?
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.

He's tweeted a few times in the past couple of weeks so I'll take that as a good sign.
