Nine Years Later: Chris Joseph on Healing from Stage III Pancreatic Cancer
Manage episode 476899847 series 3657620
When Chris Joseph received a stage III pancreatic cancer diagnosis in 2016, doctors gave him what they offer most pancreatic cancer patients – limited time and limited options. In the face of a disease with a 70% first-year mortality rate, he initially followed the conventional path of aggressive chemotherapy. But when the tumor continued growing despite treatment, something within him shifted.
Taking his health into his own hands, Chris embarked on a journey that combined the best of traditional medicine with alternative approaches. From a specialised clinic in Germany offering vitamin infusions and stem cell therapies to immunotherapy treatments that became unexpectedly available, he crafted a personalised healing approach that defied his initial prognosis.
What makes this conversation truly special isn't just Chris's survival story – though thriving with pancreatic cancer for over eight years is remarkable. It's his profound perspective shift around illness itself. Rather than viewing cancer as something to battle or fight, he came to see it as communication from his body – an opportunity to transform his life at every level. This reframing allowed him to move beyond fear and into a place of empowered action.
Today, Chris maintains his health daily, including infrared sauna sessions, yoga, extensive walking, and mindful nutrition choices. Through his coaching practice, he helps others navigate their own healing paths.
