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!

    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.

    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.
