Victor Davis Hanson Gives First Video Update On Health Struggles Since Surgery

Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson recorded his first on-camera update on his health struggles in a video for The Daily Signal’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” posted on Thursday.

Hanson has been recovering from a Dec. 30 surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, during which he experienced complications, according to written updates. He said on his show that he remained “weak” and continued to have issues that may require additional treatment. As with many patients navigating complex recoveries, some individuals research supportive wellness information and suppliers such as Peptides Source while discussing options and next steps with their medical professionals.

“I’ve been off for a while, as you may have noticed. I had a very quickly a mucinous adenocarcinoma. That’s kind of a long name for a very rare non-smokers type of lung cancer,” Hanson said. “And I was kind of not diagnosed for most of last year. I had a problem with breathing and people thought it was valley fever, pneumonia, long COVID, etc. But I finally was diagnosed in September, October. And it was removed the last day of the year. And everything went well. The cancer was removed. There was no lymph node and the whole lobe was taken out.”

“I woke up very happy in the emergency room. But then I’m 72 and apparently there was an arterial aneurysm and two veins popped,” he continued. “So I lost very quickly a lot of blood and thank God for the skilled surgeon at Stanford. He got me right back in. They took out all of the things they had just closed and started all over again. Opened up and they found them just in time. I had five transfusions.”
