A man diagnosed with terminal cancer 14 years after Crohn's disease rejected chemotherapy and surgery after his doctor said he'd die in 90 days without them. He believes cancer is spiritual and that faith shapes outcomes as much as medicine, viewing his diagnosis as a potential testimony rather than a death sentence.
It was 14 years later that I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. But what was interesting, Gary, when I was diagnosed with cancer, I didn't have pain. Crohn's disease, I was devastated. Every day was hell. The thing about cancer that I've learned over the last 18 years is that cancer's at first a spiritual disease. And I believe what someone believes about their future has as much to do with their cancer outcome as any supplement, any medicine. So for me, when I was in the doctor's office and he said, if you don't get conventional treatment, which would have been chemo, then a really invasive surgery followed by chemo again, there's a 100% chance you'll be dead in 90 days. My first thought, Gary, it wasn't horror, it wasn't fear, it wasn't anger. My first thought, believe it or not, was this is a testimonial in the making because who has the right to tell you have a 100% chance of dying? Not 90, not 80, 100%.
