This is the first time I've watched you. I found you by mistake and so glad I did. I have stage 4 cancer and was given less than a year about 3 months ago. I am a very positive person. NEVER negative! I feel I have so much to live for. I see my Chemo Dr. on the 22nd of March. that's just next week and hoping I get good news but he might say I still only have less than a year but I don't believe that.

I have my scan in a couple of days and this was sooo helpful, thank you 💜

[@April67ish]

Congrats on your good news!! I do much of what you do and have chronic pain and going to the doctor shoots my blood pressure through the roof, otherwise my BP is just fine. I have been living in this same area for 25 years and have never found a doctor that I found could really relate and have felt like a number. I hope to find a doctor with a good bedside manner. Great video!!

[@gillianedwards845]

Kris I came across your video just at the time I needed it the most!!! Went for an ultrascan and they found a mass on each Ovary, and they are now trying to fast track me into an MIR. I'm scared and my mind is taking me to the end of my life constantly :( it's seems like it is stuck in the "I'm going to die" loop. I will put into practise your techniques as I navigate this challenging time.

[@KrisCarrTV]

Will you talk about Faith, please, if you have time? Thank you! I am a fan from China.

[@kimberlyjoanne1035]

Sorry about your dad. My mom had pancreatic cancer too.

[@f.1395]

Dragons are ancient creatures. They are very powerful and something we waste energy if we constantly struggle with, because they are simply there and possibly won't go away. Years ago I read a book about how you can learn to ride your Dragon. There where lots of mental tips and exercises in, like you say, you can learn to handle fear. It's a great metaphor.

[@deedeetebedo]

[@f.1395]

Thank you very much. Can't understand why there aren't more people who watching your videos. 17:00 : lol; the Doctor you first thought he's high? Haha

[@silviazac7492]

I agree with you. I am very surprised too by the low numbers. She is in my opinion the best patient advocate influencer.

[@deborahlozano7134]

Hi. After 16 years do you still have all of the tumors?

[@Aesthetic_leen]

Hi I'm having physical symptoms of anxiety Chest pain Tingling sensations in feet and hands My Dr advised me to get a vit test and I'm deficient in vit d ... Since I am taking the vit supplements my tingling has vanished and my chest pain has reduced drastically..... I was so happy But since few days I'm shortness of breath and lump in the throat sensation.... Luckily my chest pain and tingling is reducing everyday... Should I take meds? Will there be a relapse of the symptoms, especially physical symptoms if I stop the meds after feeling better? These two fears are scaring me and preventing me to go to the psychatrist and take meds... Also I take counselling since 2 years as I had problems at school and at home... I recovered nicely but idk what has happened to me since 2 months

[@KrisCarrTV]

Team Kris here. Please make sure to speak with your doctor and counsellor to see what is best for your particular needs. Kris and the Team are sending you lots of love!

Hi. Are you raw vegan ? Many people say to me that they get deficiencies on raw vegan diet and some animal products is needed. I have fear. Please comment

[@KrisCarrTV]

Not entirely raw, but entirely plant-based. I take supplements as needed. Check out this post: kriscarr.com/blog/what-supplements-should-i-take-aviva-romm/
