BlogTESTIMONIALS OF Tom Dahl
Hi! My name is Tom Dahl, and I am well!! My battle with cancer began in November 2003. After several months of severe pain, consultations with many doctors and a battery of tests and scans, I had exploratory surgery in April 2004. My diagnosis and prognosis was that I had stage 4 pancreatic cancer which had metastasized to my colon and stomach, and I had six months to live.
After spending two weeks in the hospital I was sent home and told "to get my affairs in order". I was physically weak, mentally down and spiritually shaken. Prior to this situation I was a robust 220 lb. retired English teacher and football, wrestling and tennis coach who was living a very active lifestyle. Then my world collapsed around me it seemed. My lovely wife Linda picked up the challenged and started to look for answers. She was told about "New Hope Medical Center" by a friend and business associate in her company Arbone International who had a relative whom had been to "New Hope". After a visit there to check it out, we knew it was just the place for us.
I arrived at "New Hope" at 165 lb. wearing 150 milligrams of fentynal patches and the thought of 6 months constantly on my mind. Here was a man who had spent a career telling students and athletes that they could overcome any obstacle and beat any odds if they truly believed in themselves and worked their hardest to achieve their goals. Now I was in serious need of some "coaching up", and that is what I found with Dr Branyon and her staff at "New Hope". She was the only doctor that we met who looked me in the eyes and told me that I could beat "this thing"-this demon that had invaded my world. After three weeks of intensive care and encouragement Linda and I were ready to go home with IV drips, vitamins, herbal supplements and new nutritional knowledge to continue the battle at home.
Today thanks to my loving wife, supportive family and caring friends I have taken the knowledge gained from Dr. Branyon, and I am living a normal life. Even though I know the battle is ongoing my days are spent attending many sporting events, working out in the gym and playing racquetball again. Dr. Branyon and her staff of "New Hope" have given me my life back. I am now physically strong, mentally tough and spiritually awakened.
Finally, I know that if you are reading this you are looking for direction and answers to your unique situation. I sincerely believe you will find those answers and positive directions for your health by contacting Dr. Branyon and letting her "coach you up" to health and renewed happiness.
Never Give Up
Tom Dahl
