When God plans to appoint an important mission upon a person, he will first torture the heart, labor the limbs, starve the body, and empty that person.

The Man
-
In 1994 my first oncologist asked me, “Dan, how did a young man such as yourself get into the business of cancer?” It was a good question. It took me a long time to answer it.
I was originally diagnosed with cancer at the age of 29. I did chemotherapy. a bone marrow transplant, high dose radiation, and Psychotherapy. An experimental treatment. I had five relapses and lived through a painful divorce.
I lost my sense of identity, love of life, relationships, health, and vitality. I felt disconnected and full of despair.
I wanted to end the pain, so I went to a local gun club with plans to end my life. But when I consciously focused on the target and took a shot - everything - my pain, my suffering, my past - all dissolved into the present moment. And I felt free and alive.
This was a turning point, although not the only one. My progress, like all progress, was messy. But I kept working on myself. I read, and I meditated, and I learned more about myself, my cancer, and the world. And when my cancer recurred for the fifth time, and they told me I only had only another 12 months to live, I made a decision - I was going to live the best 12 months of my entire life. I was going to be a better man in those 12 months.
Through meditation, an understanding of how I would create my healing miracle came to me. From that, I created a philosophy of health, life, and love. Within 5 months all the tumors in my body were gone. I’ve been cancer-free for 23 years now. And I am still living the best life I can live.
What I realized was that cancer isn’t the disease - it’s the expression of the disease. Cancer was my body’s way of waking me up. And it became my greatest opportunity to awaken into my own conscious spiritual evolution.
Cancer or any other chronic illness doesn’t need to stop your life. Because it’s not over - in fact, your life has just begun. I say bring it on!
Part of my evolution is helping others move forward in their lives. That’s why I became a holistic heroic performance coach focused on HOPE - Helping Other People Evolve into their true authentic selves.
It took a long time, but I was finally able to answer my oncologist's question:
I got into the business of cancer so I could get into the business of truly living, growing, and helping others.
Your body does not fail you - you fail your body. - Dan Hegerich

Cancer and other chronic illnesses are the truth seeking expression through healing. You have control over that healing process. Anything is possible if you go beyond the mind, although there’s no absolute guarantee.

My life’s mission is to empower you to make inspired, independent and informed decisions about your health, healing and transformation so you can move forward and live your life to its fullest expression. I’m here to give you a compassionate hug or a kick in the butt - whichever one you need most.
