New CT Scan Results, Surgery Plans & I Get Emotional

As optimistic as I am, I wasn't expecting THIS much improvement.
New CT scans show all my tumors have shrunk 30-50% in just 2 months of chemo. I'll admit, I cried a little when I found out.
New plan is to continue chemo for 4 more rounds (2 mos) and see how much more shrinkage we get. Then have my bowel resection surgery.
A HUGE "thank you!!" to all of you who have sent your prayers, your advice, your support and your love -- I cannot tell you how much you mean to me, and I'm not even kidding. For all of you going through the same adventure with me, I send you my strongest prayers and encouragement. We are the "lucky ones" who drew the short straw, but there is strength in numbers. Much power and peace to you. Let's make the most of this thing :)

    I am so sad about Dan, and I only know him through videos. My brother is living with cancer and has made it one year longer than expected. Dans videos have helped me understand so much of what my brother is going through. Anyway, Dan was a blessing to all of humanity.

    Watching this on 7/23/24.. very hard to think that Dan is gone.. yes, he will be with us forever.. we’ve all lost family members and friends.. but it seems odd to care about a guy I’ve never met.. and yet, he became like family.. prayers for his parents, brother John.. and his whole family. God bless us all, everyone. Frank

    Dr Dan, this is incredible news, I just know in my gut you will be cancer free soon! My wife’s oncologist says, ‘keep exercising, it’s hard to catch a moving target’. The power of prayer and positive vibes is so healing. Re mouth ulcers, room temperature pineapple chunks are really good for cooling down mouth ulcers. Prayers from Ireland 🇮🇪
