Dan talks about how on one Christmas morning he suffered a seizure and ended up in hospital, later to be told he had a brain tumour which he needed to have an awake craniotomy (brain surgery). Dan explains how his cancer became so aggressive and doctors told him of a minimal chance of survival however Dan opted for further surgery which he later contracted an infection that doctors are now lead to believe destroyed his aggressive tumour.
