This "Ask Me Anything" is exactly what it sounds like -- bring your questions, and lay 'em on me! I'll do the best to answer every question you can throw at me.

— My GoFundMe: gofund.me/e077052a (Huge thanks to my wonderful friend for setting this up!!)

*NOTE: Today I'm a little weak, haven't eaten in 4 days, missed work most of this week because of belly pain & bloating. BUT...feeling much better today! Still pretty wobbly, but improving :)

Whether it's about the cancer experience and recovery, or recovery from an injury you may have -- it's all fair game! I love talking about rehab for back, neck, knee & shoulder, because I'm a huge nerd and I love what I do.

-- I'll send you 2 emails with a few questions about your back pain -- 1 before you start, and 1 after you've finished. This would be a tremendous help for getting my course into a research study, so these concepts can get out into the world and help more people!

— Delta 8 gummies for sleep! I use the brand Hometown Hero (made right here in Austin!), and take the Peak Delta-8 Gummies: hometownhero.sjv.io/y25vBy NOTE: These are 100 mg per gummy — I split each gummy into 4 pieces (25 mg each), and only take 25 mg about an hour before bed. For me, they make me extremely relaxed, and feel like I’ve had about 3 glasses of wine. I wouldn’t take more than 25 mg at first, for sure. But they help me fall asleep faster, and stay asleep better than anything I’ve used so far!

    You once said something like, "if you are comfortable, for an hour or a day, that's a good day. You don't have to accomplish stuff every day." Stuck with me. Thanks.

    The ability to put your worries aside and help others is the greatest trait a person can have.

    Hello from Florida Dr. Dan. You are what I want to be when I grow up. You have so much grace and class. You are in our prayers.

    I’m dealing with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Tumors throughout my abdomen. I have the same abdominal issues. I’ve been hospitalized with it about 10 times, the last was a doozie. My digestive track has not been the same since. I’ve had to change treatment plans a few time. This last combo of immuno and chemo was bringing down my numbers but has damaged my heart, so we had to discontinue that treatment. I now make sure I unlock my front door before I take a shower for the very reason of me possibly needing the paramedics. I also have to spend days in bed more frequently. Diagnosed December, 2022. I was like you, very physically active (hiker, biker, swimmer) with an emphasis on a healthy lifestyle. According to my oncologist, I wasn’t supposed to be here as long as I have been, but sometimes my body feels like death is around the corner. I wake up every day thinking it will be a good day, but I also have learned to accept whatever life hands me that day; there’s always tomorrow. I wish you the very best, your attitude is inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing your story. You’re brave to have had 6 surgeries, one major abdominal surgery was enough for me. 😮

    Dr Dan: sorry to hear you had a bad week. I did too, not health related. Your blog today helped me realize that I have control of my life and I can make a change. Thank you and you’re in my prayers every day. ❤️🐈‍⬛

    I cried when I saw you added “CANCER RECOVERY” to your channel. When I heard that you were considering immunotherapy I just felt so strongly that you would be cured if you went that route. You are definitely in recovery. You are such a bright light. 😊
  • @SusanDavis-mt3qe
    Fellow Warrior here. I just got out of the hospital myself today. Having cancer justs makes everything harder. I love your t-shirt. Sending you well wishes on feeling better.
  • Dr. Dan-thank you for sharing yourself with us. My 7 year old daughter and I tuned in today and I shared your story with her. Your insight and attitude is so inspiring and something I hope to instill in my daughter. As a single mom, it means so much to me to be able to expose my daughter to strong minded individuals like yourself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart-knowing you through your channel has been a great blessing ❤️ wishing you a better week next week, we are cheering you on from St. Louis, MO!

    Hey Dr. Dan. Cant say enough how much my wife and I are encouraged by how you’re fighting. My wife narrowly missed a diagnosis and had an ileostomy for a time. Personally, I had L4/L5 fused in 2008. I’m 52 now and just signed up for your course to keep my still occasional low back ache at bay. Also sent it to my daughter who is pregnant with severe, at times, low back pain. God bless you and we pray for a full recovery.
  • @sofiaperalta9091
    I look forward to seeing your video pop up every week so I know you're still doing good
  • @MooreBasics
    Dr. Dan I've had you on my mind since I discovered your channel yesterday. You are truly an amazing person who has so much to offer to the world. I pray you beat this and live many more years. I was up late last night and shed many tears worrying about your salvation. Where you will spend eternity?I know you grew up in church and have read the Bible many times. Heaven and hell are real places.I want you to experience heaven and all that God has for you. I am coming from a place of genuine love. If you will call upon the Lord, you will be saved. Ask Him to come into your heart and to be the Lord of your life. You can know without a shout of a doubt that God is real. I am rooting for you and praying. Please try to eat something good and stay hydrated.

    We are at MD Anderson now for further testing. My hubby is stage 4 head and neck squamous cell. He was given 3 - 6 moths eighteen months ago. He was given radiation, chemo and Keytruda. His oncologist here is amazed at his progress and condition. Basically no cancer. We are checking ion an enlarged lymph node. We are praying for you. All you cancer patients and survivors. 🙏🙏❤❤
