@@mactheslovac8673 I notice you have an emotional video on your channel about your dad who died Aug 24, 2020. Would you like comments like yours on that post? Do you wonder if you cause Daniel any uncomfortable emotions seeing your comments to his on-line friends? Sorry about your dad by the way. I lost my dad also and I had feelings I had no idea would come up. Have a great day!
Daniel, you're already making a difference. I'm terminal as well. I was told 3 months ago to get my things in order, as if thats all there is to me, things. I know what my oncologist meant but it's how I took it at the time. Your peaceful nature and intense determination does affect others. You've affected me and I thank you for that. Peace be with you dear Daniel.
Daniel, I think I can speak for many of your viewers when I say we would LOVE to learn more about YOU as a person. Yes we are here to support you on this difficult cancer journey, but we are also here to support your ideas and creative endeavors! You are not your cancer. We see you for more than just this illness, and I will whole-heartedly be cheering you on regardless of what kind of videos you choose to upload. Don’t worry about what you think is expected of you. Do what makes you happy. Because what makes YOU happy makes US happy. Just know that I am sending my absolute heart and soul out into the universe, to God, to whoever may be listening, in hopes that you receive whatever it is that you need in this moment.
I agree. Daniel has a sweet and kind voice. I can tell he is a very compassionate and kind person that loves others dearly and most especially his animals.
You’re such a kind soul to be worried about others at this time. Although it is always nice to get an update, you don’t owe us or your drs or anybody else anything. You need to take care of you by doing whatever it is that you need to do. I try to avoid offering suggestions in these types of situations because i am very close to someone with a chronic illness and I know how frustrating it is for them to hear things like, “you just need to drink lemon water” and stuff like that 🤦🏽♀️. That being said, I have two things I would like to ask you to consider: 1- regarding your eating, have you thought about drinking meal replacement shakes or something throughout the day? Just a sip here and a sip there to get some extra calories in between meals? 2- you have 6,000 people here who support you and want to provide you with encouragement during these tough times. If there is anything that you need to do the things you want to do, maybe start an amazon wishlist or something and let us know! Take care and we look forward to hearing from you again soon!
"I'm kidding, I don't have any enemies." Having found this wonderful man and channel just yesterday, I can say I don't doubt he was right about that. His brave fight, his relentless sincerity and humanity, his graceful acceptance that the end for him was near - all of it is humbling to witness. And oh, so inspiring. Thank you, Daniel.
Daniel, no one knows when we will leave this earth. We are ALL terminal. I wish I could take it all away. You are the first you tuber that I found at the beginning of my liver cancer journey. I did not know what to do and then you were there. Thank you for making me feel I wasn't alone. You are still here. Live your life to the fullest. From one human to another I would like to say respectfully that I love you. Keep writting! Keep up your humor! Know we all care! And know you are touching many many lives. Keep those dreams alive! You aren't finished yet.
You are so very strong ,speaking with a very calm and soothing voice, you're absolutely amazing. Nobody deserves this outcome, I will be here for you, and I would give anything to make you well, please never giveup no matter what the doctors have told you❤
Daniel, I don't know you at all...only through your videos. I'm not sure how I even came upon them, but I'm glad I did. You are someone that I wish I knew in real life. I enjoy your sense of humor and I'm so encouraged by your ability to speak frankly about your mortality and the illness that you've been battling. You know, none of us get out of here alive. All of our days are numbered. I pray that in these next months, that you find peace and comfort in doing the things that make you happy and that you can spend quality time with those you love. You are unique and special. I'm glad that I found your channel. Your attitude and your "realness" have made a difference in my life and I thank you for that. As long as you are making videos, I will be watching and even when you choose not to make them anymore, I will be thinking of you.
Want to hug you. Such a special young man .Can’t stop my tears, you have touched me so much and I appreciate that you have shared the highs and lows of this terrible disease with us. I am so proud of you Daniel
As a nursing student I have used your videos to gear my nursing care to be even more compassionate. Thank you for sharing this journey! You will continue to be a shining star in my memory. I will use your experiences to help my future patients.
Follow your own advice: 'you can't touch or break us' but keep it somewhere in your heart and head that ALL of us are behind you and we will stick to your journey right beside you. 🐾
Just listening to you talk about your mortality is very sad. You are an incredibly strong man. Does it seem real to you? Have you cried? Cancer patient's are incredibly strong. It hurts the ones that love you the most. I am so sorry someone like you Daniel has to leave so soon. You deserve to live an incredibly long life. I pray that we do go somewhere beautiful without pain and suffering. I will look for you because I do believe that after the miracle of birth there will be a miracle of death. Be strong try not to fear accept any medication that will make your passing easy. Sending virtual hugs. You are very special ❤
Put up a gofundme, so we can donate for whatever you want to use the money for....like a vacation with someone you love.... sending you love and light from Canada....
missychan63 thank you so much for responding I will go look now....wishing him only the best...I was a caregiver to my loved one that battled cancer, so I wish him only the best and hopefully with the gofundme he will be able to do somethings with friends and loved ones well he is still able...❤️❤️❤️
Hi Daniel, I don't know if you'll ever read this but your videos have impacted me for the better. Around 2 years ago I developed crippling anxiety and could not work. It felt like a nervous breakdown and since then I've developed panic disorder and agoraphobia. I could never compare it to cancer but my life was in shambles and it's a daily struggle. I've been afraid of everything, even existing. I've been so afraid of dying. So afraid of ultimately losing my parents. So afraid of losing my mind in the process. I wanted to tell you that your peace, even if you don't feel it, is conveyed through your voice. And I felt that thing that you described that's bigger than all of us but connects all of us. Some day every person on this earth will face death and this video will help others not fear it. Your spirit will live on and on and continue to spread light to others who are afraid and in pain. This video helped me. When that day comes for me, whether it's from sickness or an accident, or i'm taken in a whirlwind like Elijah from the Bible (haha) I'll remember this peace you helped me feel. Thank you
I lost my brother many years ago to this same disease. At first watching would make me cry every time, but as hard as it is now, as you make arrangements (which we will all have to make at some point in our lives), it also makes me smile. It brings back the memory of sitting with my brother (Chuck), and going over what everyone was to get after his death. It sounds awful to most, but it was not! We laughed about our family members, and recalled memories. It gave him comfort to know that his grand baby's college would be paid for by him when the time came, and that his young grand son would eventually get his Harley Davidson that he helped Pop-Pop work on for many hours in the garage. Most people cannot talk about death, but I do want to share that my brother died just as you were told. He was only unconscious for two days. They put in a PICC line and he had a directive, and was given morphine in case of pain every half hour. He died without pain, or stress, very peacefully. I l believe your videos really have made a difference Daniel. Peace.
I care, I care very much. You’re such an articulate person, so interesting the way you so openly share your experiences of what you’re going through. I find myself wondering where you came from, grew up, just wanting to know more about you. I know you’re a very artistic guy. With so much emotion and feelings and passion for things you hold dear. I guess I’d just like to know more about your life and who Daniel is. The fact that you love kitties speaks volumes to me. I love all animals. I appreciate their lives and their innocence. And I adore cats. I can’t imagine living without any. I’m sad for your situation. But you’ve touched a lot of hearts with your fine personality and openness to share. Thank you for that. You are simply one cool dude 💕
I want to thank all of you who gave to go fund me page etc to support Daniel ..financially through his treatment . I hope he didn't feel he was also letting YOU down. So sad hearing him say the doctors did all they could and he felt he let them down. Personally in my treament my doctors have destroyed my life by doing wrong things . I guess everyones experinece is different . Ive noticed it could be that theres nmore ..support for cancer than most other chtonic illnesses. Glad the doctors took great care of him. Cancer is cruel. But it was good to see daniel at peace with it all. Im at that stage , and also getting my stuff sorted ready to go. It can be very peaceful when you accept your fate . I feel bless to have the chance to say goodbyes etc . Its the satisfaction of having that final control on your life... I hope Daniel achieved everything he ever wanted in that sense.. ...and that it was a good peaceful passing. Maybe right now " Daniels tree ";is out there growing tall .. .....filled with love . 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Daniel. My husband was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in September 2019. After 14 months of chemo, he stopped treatment and spent his last weeks at home before passing on. Over 25 years together, not only did he show me how to live more fully but he also showed me how to meet death. I was blessed to be able to look into his eyes and tell him that I loved him as he left this world. I feel blessed to have known him. I continue to watch your videos and send you all my love.
Daniel, I don’t know what else to say right now apart from I have a heavy heart with the sad news. We don’t want to loose you . I will pray for you as others have prayed for me through my cancer journey. You are a special person 🧡
I agree with Lisa. If you weren't telling us, no one would ever know that you are sick. You look amazing. Remember, doctors are not all knowing. They can guide, they can give their opinions, but their timeline isn't necessarily yours. I hope you have faith, it will carry you, make you stronger and help make this easier to bear. Sending you love, prayers and best wishes and looking forward to your thoughts , your dreams. You still have a future. It may not be the one you expected...but that's true for many of us in many different ways. Stay strong.
The tears just keep coming. Ive felt such a strong connection to this guys for a few years now. He made me smile when I hadn't much to smile about,he made me hopeful when all i had was doubt. You have made a difference in my life☘
I found your channel yesterday by chance and spending a day going through your journey. I am really sorry you are going through this. Also I commend your stoic and calm deliverance of the very difficult journey. It is a shame there is no 'close to nature's way of alerting this planet in US. Where I live (UK) I am five minutes drive away from the woodland burial site and it is a wonderful place . Place where death is not an end , but a part in a larger cycle of life.
My mother, June, died of colon cancer at age 64 in 2002. Your oncologist's description of the disease progression is consistent with what my mother went through. You are raising awareness of the difficult nature of this disease. I thank you for that. June presented with constipation and abdominal pain in March of 2000. A scan showed 4 tumors in the liver and 10 spots in the lungs. A 12" resection and a tennis ball-sized tumor suggested a 6-month survival. Her father died of unknown abdominal cancer at 76. She did not have a colonoscopy at 50. We got her enrolled in a trial with Bevacizumab, a VEGF monoclonal antibody, and standard 5FU/leucovoran treatment. Her life was extended to 16 months. That trial has lead to Avastin, which has extended life expectancy to 12-18 months with stage 4 colon cancer. Each month you hold on means another treatment around the corner. Ask your oncologist about Compassionate Use for new drugs in the pipeline. It only takes one magic bullet to slow the disease. My heart weeps for you. Truly a heavy burden to carry.
In this life, there are lots of the so-called “milestones” - the things you fear the most; you feel like you may crawl out of your skin from fear before your first dental visit, your first exam, your first date, your first interview or audition and what not, and when the bridge is crossed, you usually ask yourself: “But why? What was I so scared of? I feel so relieved and happy now when it’s over!”. When I think about death, I think about this last major, probably, most important “milestone” I have to endure to get my eternal relief and eternal sense of happiness. May be, I will be so overjoyed and occupied with my new self after it that I won’t even stop to scold myself for fearing it so much and so strong I had been ready to die before dying. May God bless you with strength and endurance necessary for your condition right now! I, just like many of you viewers, will pray for a miracle in any form that will be most suitable for you that will bring you the best outcome! And I really want you to know that I was glued to your story from video one up until as many vids as you will release afterwards, no matter what you’ll want to share about. You help us a great deal with your utmost sincerity, sensitivity and ability to share your fight in the most honest and positive way, and we all relate as if you are our close relative or friend. We are waiting for your updates impatiently as if waiting for some news from your dearest one whom you haven’t heard about for a long time and when the news arrives... So, keep us posted, lol, as we will always care!
When a friend of mine died his ashes were placed in a hole that we then placed items that had meaning between us and then a tree was planted in the hole. I think you wanting a tree is a great idea. As far as cremation.. depending on your state requirements you can have immediate cremation which means no embalming, a cardboard container is what is used in the cremation process and costs way less. Thank you for posting today. Make the absolute most with the time you have left. Read the books, watch the movies, eat the cake! 💜☮️☮️💜
It is absolutely taking hold once again today it is called a green funeral you can be wrapped and placed in the ground or you can have a woven type casket and be placed in the ground whatever you prefer depending on where you live are you have to do is check and see about a green funeral that even have them at funeral
@@mactheslovac8673 I'm really sorry that your not happy. There's something inside you causing your unhappiness. Only people that make jabs at others and especially ones that are passing away have something that's going wrong in their life. A truly happy, healthy and loved person doesn't say the things you are saying. I really wish you well. I wish you peace, love and happiness. Put yourself in his position....seriously think about it. I will say a special prayer for you. Makes me feel bad that you also have something going on in your life. You're a good looking guy and I'm sure you having many blessing...you're just in a rough spot with something...Marie
Hello Daniel. Thought of you today and send positive energies your way I see your lovely purple hair blowing around in the wind and you have a smile on your face . You make me smile do you have a great sense of humor. Yes it is true you are funny have a good day friend👍🏻👋
I’m from the uk and my uncle was buried in a cardboard coffin with a sapling next to him, in a big wide open space. It was amazing. Thinking of you and so sorry for your news xx
My heart is breaking, you are very brave. Ask your doctor to prescribe Ambien for sleep. You don't feel groggy when you wake up, I know what it's like to lay there and your mind is staying in over drive. Lots of love to you from me. Thank you for being you.
God bless you. You are a really special soul. I am a 77 year old grandmother an I wish I could you in my arms and comfort you. You touch so many hearts
What devastating news. I'm so sorry. 😥 I was given 6 months or less to live myself and put on hospice...over 2 1/2 years ago. I wish you comfort in your remaining days. I hope you find some joy and peace during this time. 💝🐈🌞
Oh I am so sorry the outcome wasn't better news, it takes a lot of strength to know and talk about a final end to a battle you always believed that you could win You gave it your best , everyone did, i guess we all end up like this, but you are so young , you sound a lovely person, and its very sad Get everything in order, and if you can, do the things you always wanted to do,you are so brave , so so sorry 💔💔💔
Nice to hear you’re beating the odds Tina 🙏🏻 sending you all the luck! Sadly lost my dad to cancer in August after he fought for 3 years after a 3-5 year prognosis. Wasnt quite as lucky. I wish you the best x
@@Jwallworth thanks Jay. We'll see how my lucks holding out. Going to get results in the morning from mt CT scan...Dr looking for cancer since I'm high risk 😣 sorry for your loss 😥
What a beautiful, creative and caring soul you are. Intelligent, reflective and hilarious AF. I will never look at an apple the same way again! It would be a beautiful day to sit beneath your tree smiling, remembering the light in your eyes, your upturned lip and your voice saying, "Eat me- love, Daniel" Sheer perfection! Many blessings to you and your family and friends as the intentional living begins. You are a gift and you have a gift. Thank you for sharing your truths.🌱🍎❤
Daniel....Please let us spend a little more time with you. Could you do more videos as you feel up to doing? I believe that this journey on earth ends and a new one, in spirit begins. I never say...good bye....I say..."bye for now".
You have made an incredible difference. I am grateful you have conveyed so beautiful your journey and I do believe you have helped many. Your legacy is not our illness, it is all you have given all of us. My thoughts are always with you.
I know you probably aren’t reading this because this is an old video and you are in the latter stages of your disease but I still wanted to say that your life has mattered so much. What you said at the end of this video is the most inspiring thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I will treasure that always. I lost my mom to cancer back in May and I’m still struggling with it but you are right there is strength within us all to face anything. Huge hugs to you 💖
Ugh.. my heart aches for you! As a cancer survivor... we all know this could be us. Until the day I leave this world, I will have cancer... only going into remission is a bitter pill to swallow, knowing any day you could face it again. My heart goes out to you during this difficult journey you’re on. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you prepare for the unthinkable... God Bless
Dear Daniel, I am incredibly sorry about everything you are going through. I just want you to know you are helping. You are helping me right now. Your words at the end really resonated with me. I am sitting with tears rolling at your grace and care for others. Sending huge hugs Elle xxx
I'm so sorry Daniel.I lost my partner to cancer.Like you,he was incredibly brave and serene,just like you. It was our most amazingly beautiful time.Make it yours too,Daniel..sending love from Scotland xxx
Daniel, your subscribers care. This video has touched my heart so much that I wish we could hug one another. My friend, please know how much you have helped others just by sharing your life experience. Peace, love and prayers from Connie in Charlotte, NC.
So many bittersweet memories for me as I listen to your story. Some nights I just wanted to scream, how unfair life is. Then I would call myself a hypocrite for feeling that way, because I was a firm believer of everything plays out for a reason. Sending you positive vibes, on this undescribable journey. Much love.
You are an incredible human being, Daniel. My heart is with you. I want to keep this light, so - my friend and I decided a while ago that we both want to be fruit trees as well. I think it's a cool idea, not morbid at all. We both want people to eat us too :-) It's also nice though because whichever yard I end up in, people will have a growing reminder of me. Love to you sweetie.
Even though the news isn’t good, I’m just so happy to see your face, Daniel. And if you’re up to it, I would love to get to know you more. Post whatever your heart desires. I will watch and enjoy anything you have to show of who you are. I can tell that you have so much to offer this world. I will always believe in miracles and I still pray for one for you.. but I also unfortunately know the reality of cancer. I lost my best friend. I love the tree idea lol. “Eat me” 😝You’re so funny. Seriously though, I’ve lost several people in my life the past few years, and it’s comforting to see something so beautiful come out of something so devastating. I had some art made out of my mom’s ashes, and I love it. Try to take in and enjoy every moment you have left. No matter how long or short that is, I think we should all do the same. You are loved, Daniel. ♥️ Thank you for updating.
🌳 You have helped so many of us already Daniel., all around the world. Thank you. I’d love to read your writings some day. You are an amazing person. An inspiration. You will never be forgotten 💗 You shine so bright. 🌟 Sending lots of love and peace your way. 💗💗💗✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
With your courage, strength and spirit you're helping a lot of people. All those doctors who are still trying to help you are gaining something too. Thank you for your sharing your calmness, peace, and ... dark sense of humor (!)... all of which is helping us be here with you for as long as possible.
I just found your channel and I am so glad I found it. You are a brave soul and I pray you are comfortable. Thank you for sharing. That fan in your background is beautiful.
Daniel we love you so much. When you cant sleep put some meditation play List on and you Will relax your mind My prayers are with you Daniel your SOUL is so bright, HUMBLE special We love you so much🙏🙏
You are so strong, many symptoms from medication and fluid build up and tumors. one day at a time, be where your feet are, one step at a time. You are wonderful person.
Daniel, we care so much.... You are such a beautiful soul. Every time I watched your videos, I thought that I want to know about you so much more. I don't know, but you always always seemed like a person who could teach me life, simply by just sharing your views, thoughts etc. Thank you. You are a hero for me.
My heart hurts for you, life can be so cruel. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to not know our future. We all will be saying goodbye. When I went through breast cancer my oncologist said just live one day at a time so I’m passing this on to you it really did help. Thank you for taking some of your precious time to keep us updated on your condition your such a love.
God bless you Daniel. I pray for you and all others struggling with this horrible disease. You are so young and don't deserve this. Actually, no one does.
This made me shed a tear. I know all of us including myself will be on the same journey . I have already started my bucket list. I have decided to be cremated and no pity party for my leaving the earth. I want my ashes to be thrown in the lake. I also have two cats that I’m not sure who I want to take care of but I know I can’t seperate them. I decided Im going to donate all of my things to goodwill . All of my retirement funds will go to my only niece and nephew. You opened my eyes to start my will sooner rather then later. None of us are promised tomorrow. You are such an inspiration as you handle all of this with grace. My prayers are with you !
You made such a difference in this world. You're spirit and energy is so beautiful. Everybody who has seen you're videos is inspired by every word you say! I hope with all my heart that you still have a beautiful time left surrounded by love.
Really appreciate this video. My husband’s throat cancer has metz’d to his liver & bones... continually growing. Now in clinical trial on a targeted therapy, it’s a oral inhibitor for 1 of the 3 activated things making the cancer spread so quickly... He’s been FIGHTING & BATTLING this particular cancer 15 months. As of late, he doesn’t ask the elephant in the room... How long... he has tumors like yours’ sizes... He’s pushing pushing pushing every day... at the end of his funeral. He knows I’m playing “I Won’t Back Down”(Tom Petty) & “Eye of the Tiger” (Survivor) because he’s toughs nails & I’m sending him out like the BAD*SS he is!! Many prayers & thanks again for your share.
I’d love to read your writing. I’m sure it’s amazing. This is weighing heavy on my heart. I’ve watched you for so long and I’ve been so hopeful. Keeping you in my thoughts!!!
You are so incredibly brave for sharing this with the world. We all love you so much and will always love you. You have created an unbreakable community who will remember you for you. You have changed lives for the better.
Daniel you have opened my heart on a way no one ever has! You are an amazing and inspirational man. I wish I could have met you and sat and talked. I know the conversation would have been full of tears and joy! Take care my friend!
I admire the way you look at illness, life and ultimately death Daniel. You have incredible strength and have given so much to others. Know you are leaving an important legacy . May whatever time you have left bring you happiness and peace. Know you are loved!
I'm feeling so many emotions for a man I have never met.
Could not have said it better myself .
Yes, the same 😔💓
@@mactheslovac8673 definitely great hair.
Yes! ❤️🙏
@@mactheslovac8673 I notice you have an emotional video on your channel about your dad who died Aug 24, 2020. Would you like comments like yours on that post? Do you wonder if you cause Daniel any uncomfortable emotions seeing your comments to his on-line friends? Sorry about your dad by the way. I lost my dad also and I had feelings I had no idea would come up. Have a great day!
Daniel, you're already making a difference. I'm terminal as well. I was told 3 months ago to get my things in order, as if thats all there is to me, things. I know what my oncologist meant but it's how I took it at the time. Your peaceful nature and intense determination does affect others. You've affected me and I thank you for that. Peace be with you dear Daniel.
And peace be with you also Jill 🙏🌻
Peace be with you too 💖
Jill.. will hold you in my thoughts and prayers 💕
Peace be with you Daniel. You are amazing♥️
Love to you as well ❤️🙏
You’re very courageous Daniel to be sharing all of this with your audience despite all the pain and struggle
Daniel, I think I can speak for many of your viewers when I say we would LOVE to learn more about YOU as a person. Yes we are here to support you on this difficult cancer journey, but we are also here to support your ideas and creative endeavors! You are not your cancer. We see you for more than just this illness, and I will whole-heartedly be cheering you on regardless of what kind of videos you choose to upload. Don’t worry about what you think is expected of you. Do what makes you happy. Because what makes YOU happy makes US happy. Just know that I am sending my absolute heart and soul out into the universe, to God, to whoever may be listening, in hopes that you receive whatever it is that you need in this moment.

No. Daniel has a beautiful calming voice. Not just you ☺️
I agree. Daniel has a sweet and kind voice. I can tell he is a very compassionate and kind person that loves others dearly and most especially his animals.
I love his voice, how calm he is, handsome, and sweet for what he’s been through. ♥️🍀

Memorial day Daniel you are not forgotten you were a brave boy your spirit lives forever.
My heart is heavy. You’re a brave, strong man Daniel. Love listening to you. Don’t give up.
"I'm kidding, I don't have any enemies." Having found this wonderful man and channel just yesterday, I can say I don't doubt he was right about that. His brave fight, his relentless sincerity and humanity, his graceful acceptance that the end for him was near - all of it is humbling to witness. And oh, so inspiring. Thank you, Daniel.
Bless you Daniel. You are a very kind soul!
You're a lovely soul. I can feel it through your voice and words. Peace and light to you.
Yes, I have the same feelings.
Daniel, no one knows when we will leave this earth. We are ALL terminal. I wish I could take it all away. You are the first you tuber that I found at the beginning of my liver cancer journey. I did not know what to do and then you were there. Thank you for making me feel I wasn't alone. You are still here. Live your life to the fullest. From one human to another I would like to say respectfully that I love you. Keep writting! Keep up your humor! Know we all care! And know you are touching many many lives. Keep those dreams alive! You aren't finished yet.
Sending you love and prayers. God bless you.
You are so very strong ,speaking with a very calm and soothing voice, you're absolutely amazing. Nobody deserves this outcome, I will be here for you, and I would give anything to make you well, please never giveup no matter what the doctors have told you❤
"If you can't touch it, you can't break it." I love that! Human connection is so incredible...thank you! ❤
Good to see you, Daniel. Sending you a lot of love, man.

You are unique and special. I'm glad that I found your channel. Your attitude and your "realness" have made a difference in my life and I thank you for that. As long as you are making videos, I will be watching and even when you choose not to make them anymore, I will be thinking of you.
Want to hug you. Such a special young man .Can’t stop my tears, you have touched me so much and I appreciate that you have shared the highs and lows of this terrible disease with us. I am so proud of you Daniel
As a nursing student I have used your videos to gear my nursing care to be even more compassionate. Thank you for sharing this journey! You will continue to be a shining star in my memory. I will use your experiences to help my future patients.
Follow your own advice: 'you can't touch or break us' but keep it somewhere in your heart and head that ALL of us are behind you and we will stick to your journey right beside you. 🐾
Just listening to you talk about your mortality is very sad. You are an incredibly strong man. Does it seem real to you? Have you cried? Cancer patient's are incredibly strong. It hurts the ones that love you the most. I am so sorry someone like you Daniel has to leave so soon. You
deserve to live an incredibly long life.
I pray that we do go somewhere beautiful without pain and suffering.
I will look for you because I do believe that after the miracle of birth there will be a miracle of death.
Be strong try not to fear accept any medication that will make your passing easy.
Sending virtual hugs.
You are very special ❤
Such a sweet sweet man... I think of you often throughout my every day life.
I heard someone say once that we are ALL terminal some just win the race quicker. This is very true. We will all meet HIM someday
Or HER lol
Of course we understand! I like the tree idea that you will still be apart of life- it’s a very cool idea! 😁
You are a lovely soul. Sending much love to you Daniel from Southern California.
Put up a gofundme, so we can donate for whatever you want to use the money for....like a vacation with someone you love.... sending you love and light from Canada....
He has one, if you look at the title of previous videos you can find it. I tried to post the link here but for some reason RUclips wouldn't let me.
missychan63 thank you so much for responding I will go look now....wishing him only the best...I was a caregiver to my loved one that battled cancer, so I wish him only the best and hopefully with the gofundme he will be able to do somethings with friends and loved ones well he is still able...❤️❤️❤️
You are such a beautiful person, Daniel. You have a heart of gold.
Hi Daniel, I don't know if you'll ever read this but your videos have impacted me for the better. Around 2 years ago I developed crippling anxiety and could not work. It felt like a nervous breakdown and since then I've developed panic disorder and agoraphobia. I could never compare it to cancer but my life was in shambles and it's a daily struggle. I've been afraid of everything, even existing. I've been so afraid of dying. So afraid of ultimately losing my parents. So afraid of losing my mind in the process. I wanted to tell you that your peace, even if you don't feel it, is conveyed through your voice. And I felt that thing that you described that's bigger than all of us but connects all of us. Some day every person on this earth will face death and this video will help others not fear it. Your spirit will live on and on and continue to spread light to others who are afraid and in pain. This video helped me. When that day comes for me, whether it's from sickness or an accident, or i'm taken in a whirlwind like Elijah from the Bible (haha) I'll remember this peace you helped me feel. Thank you
I love the idea of having one's body feed a tree! Even if not to "feed your enemies", any of your friends and loved ones can come by and see you. ❤️
don’t give up daniel, and keep fighting! God is always with you and always have hope in His Son, Jesus Christ💗💗
I lost my brother many years ago to this same disease. At first watching would make me cry every time, but as hard as it is now, as you make arrangements (which we will all have to make at some point in our lives), it also makes me smile. It brings back the memory of sitting with my brother (Chuck), and going over what everyone was to get after his death. It sounds awful to most, but it was not! We laughed about our family members, and recalled memories. It gave him comfort to know that his grand baby's college would be paid for by him when the time came, and that his young grand son would eventually get his Harley Davidson that he helped Pop-Pop work on for many hours in the garage. Most people cannot talk about death, but I do want to share that my brother died just as you were told. He was only unconscious for two days. They put in a PICC line and he had a directive, and was given morphine in case of pain every half hour. He died without pain, or stress, very peacefully. I l believe your videos really have made a difference Daniel. Peace.
Daniel, you have a powerful body of work. It's substantive. It's courageous. It will be found and used.
You are so likeable and will never be forgotten, ever. ❤
We do care, you are leaving a legacy of the gentle, funny, thoughtful man you are. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
I care, I care very much. You’re such an articulate person, so interesting the way you so openly share your experiences of what you’re going through.
I find myself wondering where you came from, grew up, just wanting to know more about you.
I know you’re a very artistic guy. With so much emotion and feelings and passion for things you hold dear. I guess I’d just like to know more about your life and who Daniel is. The fact that you love kitties speaks volumes to me. I love all animals. I appreciate their lives and their innocence. And I adore cats. I can’t imagine living without any.
I’m sad for your situation. But you’ve touched a lot of hearts with your fine personality and openness to share. Thank you for that.
You are simply one cool dude 💕
I want to thank all of you who gave to go fund me page etc to support Daniel
..financially through his treatment . I hope he didn't feel he was also letting YOU down.
So sad hearing him say the doctors did all they could and he felt he let them down.
Personally in my treament my doctors have destroyed my life by doing wrong things .
I guess everyones experinece is different . Ive noticed it could be that theres nmore
..support for cancer than most other chtonic illnesses.
Glad the doctors took great care of him.
Cancer is cruel.
But it was good to see daniel at peace with it all.
Im at that stage , and also getting my stuff sorted ready to go.
It can be very peaceful when you accept your fate .
I feel bless to have the chance to say goodbyes etc .
Its the satisfaction of having that final control on your life...
I hope Daniel achieved everything he ever wanted in that sense..
...and that it was a good peaceful passing.
Maybe right now " Daniels tree ";is out there growing tall ..
.....filled with love .
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Praying for you!! Keep fighting this cancer! It ain’t over! Survivor!!!
Daniel. My husband was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in September 2019. After 14 months of chemo, he stopped treatment and spent his last weeks at home before passing on. Over 25 years together, not only did he show me how to live more fully but he also showed me how to meet death. I was blessed to be able to look into his eyes and tell him that I loved him as he left this world. I feel blessed to have known him.
I continue to watch your videos and send you all my love.
Daniel, I don’t know what else to say right now apart from I have a heavy heart with the sad news.
We don’t want to loose you .
I will pray for you as others have prayed for me through my cancer journey.
You are a special person 🧡
I agree with Lisa. If you weren't telling us, no one would ever know that you are sick. You look amazing. Remember, doctors are not all knowing. They can guide, they can give their opinions, but their timeline isn't necessarily yours. I hope you have faith, it will carry you, make you stronger and help make this easier to bear. Sending you love, prayers and best wishes and looking forward to your thoughts , your dreams. You still have a future. It may not be the one you expected...but that's true for many of us in many different ways. Stay strong.
I felt that at the end, and I started crying. Life isn't fair. Stay with us as long as you can Daniel!
You are a wonderful spirit. Sending you love & light from Australia 🌷🌷🌷
You came into my youtube feed for a reason. Daniel, just know that a lot of people care deeply about you. Please post more videos about you! 😊
The tears just keep coming. Ive felt such a strong connection to this guys for a few years now.
He made me smile when I hadn't much to smile about,he made me hopeful when all i had was doubt.
You have made a difference in my life☘
I found your channel yesterday by chance and spending a day going through your journey. I am really sorry you are going through this. Also I commend your stoic and calm deliverance of the very difficult journey. It is a shame there is no 'close to nature's way of alerting this planet in US. Where I live (UK) I am five minutes drive away from the woodland burial site and it is a wonderful place . Place where death is not an end , but a part in a larger cycle of life.
My mother, June, died of colon cancer at age 64 in 2002. Your oncologist's description of the disease progression is consistent with what my mother went through. You are raising awareness of the difficult nature of this disease. I thank you for that.
June presented with constipation and abdominal pain in March of 2000. A scan showed 4 tumors in the liver and 10 spots in the lungs. A 12" resection and a tennis ball-sized tumor suggested a 6-month survival. Her father died of unknown abdominal cancer at 76. She did not have a colonoscopy at 50.
We got her enrolled in a trial with Bevacizumab, a VEGF monoclonal antibody, and standard 5FU/leucovoran treatment. Her life was extended to 16 months. That trial has lead to Avastin, which has extended life expectancy to 12-18 months with stage 4 colon cancer.
Each month you hold on means another treatment around the corner. Ask your oncologist about Compassionate Use for new drugs in the pipeline. It only takes one magic bullet to slow the disease.
My heart weeps for you. Truly a heavy burden to carry.
In this life, there are lots of the so-called “milestones” - the things you fear the most; you feel like you may crawl out of your skin from fear before your first dental visit, your first exam, your first date, your first interview or audition and what not, and when the bridge is crossed, you usually ask yourself: “But why? What was I so scared of? I feel so relieved and happy now when it’s over!”. When I think about death, I think about this last major, probably, most important “milestone” I have to endure to get my eternal relief and eternal sense of happiness. May be, I will be so overjoyed and occupied with my new self after it that I won’t even stop to scold myself for fearing it so much and so strong I had been ready to die before dying.
May God bless you with strength and endurance necessary for your condition right now! I, just like many of you viewers, will pray for a miracle in any form that will be most suitable for you that will bring you the best outcome! And I really want you to know that I was glued to your story from video one up until as many vids as you will release afterwards, no matter what you’ll want to share about. You help us a great deal with your utmost sincerity, sensitivity and ability to share your fight in the most honest and positive way, and we all relate as if you are our close relative or friend. We are waiting for your updates impatiently as if waiting for some news from your dearest one whom you haven’t heard about for a long time and when the news arrives... So, keep us posted, lol, as we will always care!
That was so comforting what you said and so true❤
When a friend of mine died his ashes were placed in a hole that we then placed items that had meaning between us and then a tree was planted in the hole. I think you wanting a tree is a great idea. As far as cremation.. depending on your state requirements you can have immediate cremation which means no embalming, a cardboard container is what is used in the cremation process and costs way less. Thank you for posting today. Make the absolute most with the time you have left. Read the books, watch the movies, eat the cake! 💜☮️☮️💜
It is absolutely taking hold once again today it is called a green funeral you can be wrapped and placed in the ground or you can have a woven type casket and be placed in the ground whatever you prefer depending on where you live are you have to do is check and see about a green funeral that even have them at funeral
.....and??
This is my wish as well!!!
Come back as a tree, and finally be one with nature. Keep on fighting Daniel!
✌❤
@@mactheslovac8673 I'm really sorry that your not happy. There's something inside you causing your unhappiness. Only people that make jabs at others and especially ones that are passing away have something that's going wrong in their life. A truly happy, healthy and loved person doesn't say the things you are saying. I really wish you well. I wish you peace, love and happiness. Put yourself in his position....seriously think about it. I will say a special prayer for you. Makes me feel bad that you also have something going on in your life. You're a good looking guy and I'm sure you having many blessing...you're just in a rough spot with something...Marie
Hello Daniel. Thought of you today and send positive energies your way I see your lovely purple hair blowing around in the wind and you have a smile on your face . You make me smile do you have a great sense of humor. Yes it is true you are funny have a good day friend👍🏻👋
I’m from the uk and my uncle was buried in a cardboard coffin with a sapling next to him, in a big wide open space. It was amazing. Thinking of you and so sorry for your news xx
I just found your channel. I don't know what to say right now except I am so sorry. I am praying for you. Thank you for everything.
My heart is breaking, you are very brave. Ask your doctor to prescribe Ambien for sleep. You don't feel groggy when you wake up, I know what it's like to lay there and your mind is staying in over drive. Lots of love to you from me. Thank you for being you.
Great to see you, Daniel. Thank you for updating us about how you are. God Bless you, hun. Prayers to you, Daniel.
Sending you love and prayers Daniel.
God bless you. You are a really special soul. I am a 77 year old grandmother an I wish I could you in my arms and comfort you. You touch so many hearts
What devastating news. I'm so sorry. 😥 I was given 6 months or less to live myself and put on hospice...over 2 1/2 years ago. I wish you comfort in your remaining days. I hope you find some joy and peace during this time. 💝🐈🌞
Oh I am so sorry the outcome wasn't better news, it takes a lot of strength to know and talk about a final end to a battle you always believed that you could win
You gave it your best , everyone did, i guess we all end up like this, but you are so young , you sound a lovely person, and its very sad
Get everything in order, and if you can, do the things you always wanted to do,you are so brave , so so sorry 💔💔💔
Nice to hear you’re beating the odds Tina 🙏🏻 sending you all the luck! Sadly lost my dad to cancer in August after he fought for 3 years after a 3-5 year prognosis. Wasnt quite as lucky. I wish you the best x
Sending you love Daniel. Always in my prayers ❤️🙏
@@Jwallworth thanks Jay. We'll see how my lucks holding out. Going to get results in the morning from mt CT scan...Dr looking for cancer since I'm high risk 😣
sorry for your loss 😥
@@siouxgirl2703 I’ll cross my fingers for you love! ❤️Such a nasty disease
What a beautiful, creative and caring soul you are. Intelligent, reflective and hilarious AF. I will never look at an apple the same way again! It would be a beautiful day to sit beneath your tree smiling, remembering the light in your eyes, your upturned lip and your voice saying, "Eat me- love, Daniel" Sheer perfection! Many blessings to you and your family and friends as the intentional living begins. You are a gift and you have a gift. Thank you for sharing your truths.🌱🍎❤
Daniel....Please let us spend a little more time with you. Could you do more videos as you feel up to doing? I believe that this journey on earth ends and a new one, in spirit begins. I never say...good bye....I say..."bye for now".
I SAY SEE YOU LATER. I DON'T LIKE THE WORD BYE.
You are amazing Daniel 🥰
You have made an incredible difference. I am grateful you have conveyed so beautiful your journey and I do believe you have helped many. Your legacy is not our illness, it is all you have given all of us. My thoughts are always with you.
I know you probably aren’t reading this because this is an old video and you are in the latter stages of your disease but I still wanted to say that your life has mattered so much. What you said at the end of this video is the most inspiring thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I will treasure that always. I lost my mom to cancer back in May and I’m still struggling with it but you are right there is strength within us all to face anything. Huge hugs to you 💖
He passed away ten days ago.
@@jonogren5567 May he Rest In Peace, thank you for letting me know
Ugh.. my heart aches for you! As a cancer survivor... we all know this could be us. Until the day I leave this world, I will have cancer... only going into remission is a bitter pill to swallow, knowing any day you could face it again. My heart goes out to you during this difficult journey you’re on. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you prepare for the unthinkable... God Bless
The tree thing made me giggle, so sad your gone RIP Daniel 🙏
Dear Daniel, I am incredibly sorry about everything you are going through. I just want you to know you are helping. You are helping me right now. Your words at the end really resonated with me. I am sitting with tears rolling at your grace and care for others. Sending huge hugs Elle xxx
You are a beautiful person
I love you my heart is breaking
Im will miss you you will always be in thoughts
I'm so sorry Daniel.I lost my partner to cancer.Like you,he was incredibly brave and serene,just like you. It was our most amazingly beautiful time.Make it yours too,Daniel..sending love from Scotland xxx
Daniel, your subscribers care. This video has touched my heart so much that I wish we could hug one another. My friend, please know how much you have helped others just by sharing your life experience. Peace, love and prayers from Connie in Charlotte, NC.
So many bittersweet memories for me as I listen to your story. Some nights I just wanted to scream, how unfair life is. Then I would call myself a hypocrite for feeling that way, because I was a firm believer of everything plays out for a reason. Sending you positive vibes, on this undescribable journey. Much love.
You are an incredible human being, Daniel. My heart is with you. I want to keep this light, so - my friend and I decided a while ago that we both want to be fruit trees as well. I think it's a cool idea, not morbid at all. We both want people to eat us too :-) It's also nice though because whichever yard I end up in, people will have a growing reminder of me. Love to you sweetie.
Even though the news isn’t good, I’m just so happy to see your face, Daniel.
And if you’re up to it, I would love to get to know you more. Post whatever your heart desires. I will watch and enjoy anything you have to show of who you are. I can tell that you have so much to offer this world.
I will always believe in miracles and I still pray for one for you.. but I also unfortunately know the reality of cancer. I lost my best friend.
I love the tree idea lol. “Eat me” 😝You’re so funny. Seriously though, I’ve lost several people in my life the past few years, and it’s comforting to see something so beautiful come out of something so devastating. I had some art made out of my mom’s ashes, and I love it.
Try to take in and enjoy every moment you have left. No matter how long or short that is, I think we should all do the same. You are loved, Daniel. ♥️
Thank you for updating.
🌳 You have helped so many of us already Daniel., all around the world. Thank you. I’d love to read your writings some day. You are an amazing person. An inspiration. You will never be forgotten 💗 You shine so bright. 🌟 Sending lots of love and peace your way. 💗💗💗✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
With your courage, strength and spirit you're helping a lot of people. All those doctors who are still trying to help you are gaining something too. Thank you for your sharing your calmness, peace, and ... dark sense of humor (!)... all of which is helping us be here with you for as long as possible.
I just found your channel and I am so glad I found it. You are a brave soul and I pray you are comfortable. Thank you for sharing. That fan in your background is beautiful.
Daniel we love you so much. When you cant sleep put some meditation play List on and you Will relax your mind
My prayers are with you Daniel your SOUL is so bright, HUMBLE special
We love you so much🙏🙏
My heart goes out to you, Daniel.
Thank you for your videos. I just began watching you recently.
I like the humor of the fruit-bearing tree 🌳 ♥️
You are a strong beautiful man. And I pray you beat those odds and live much longer.
You are so strong, many symptoms from medication and fluid build up and tumors. one day at a time, be where your feet are, one step at a time. You are wonderful person.
Daniel, we care so much.... You are such a beautiful soul. Every time I watched your videos, I thought that I want to know about you so much more. I don't know, but you always always seemed like a person who could teach me life, simply by just sharing your views, thoughts etc.
Thank you. You are a hero for me.
Daniel, you are so much more than cancer and all of your words matter. You are well loved 🥰 Thank you for making a difference in my life xx
Listen, you don’t know me but you in this video is everything that means anything in this world.
God bless you, you are amazing, strong , man ♥️🙏🙏
As ever, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
You are a beautiful person. Keep the videos coming.
This is so gut wrenching. I did enjoy the things you do when you're board with your cat. Pretty funny.
I am so so so sorry... I hoped so much that you're going to get cured..
You're such a kind soul.
My heart hurts for you, life can be so cruel. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to not know our future. We all will be saying goodbye. When I went through breast cancer my oncologist said just live one day at a time so I’m passing this on to you it really did help. Thank you for taking some of your precious time to keep us updated on your condition your such a love.
This is a powerful video.
God bless you Daniel. I pray for you and all others struggling with this horrible disease. You are so young and don't deserve this. Actually, no one does.
Daniel-- the grace and intellect with which you are handling your situation is so beyond admirable. Thank you for being candid, yet strong.
This made me shed a tear. I know all of us including myself will be on the same journey . I have already started my bucket list. I have decided to be cremated and no pity party for my leaving the earth. I want my ashes to be thrown in the lake. I also have two cats that I’m not sure who I want to take care of but I know I can’t seperate them. I decided Im going to donate all of my things to goodwill . All of my retirement funds will go to my only niece and nephew. You opened my eyes to start my will sooner rather then later. None of us are promised tomorrow. You are such an inspiration as you handle all of this with grace. My prayers are with you !
I also worry what will happen to my cats. That's my greatest concern , not really the dying part.
You are a fabulous young man
You made such a difference in this world. You're spirit and energy is so beautiful. Everybody who has seen you're videos is inspired by every word you say!
I hope with all my heart that you still have a beautiful time left surrounded by love.
I would love to know more about you. You are and incredible human being. It's a pleasure knowing you! 💞
Really appreciate this video. My husband’s throat cancer has metz’d to his liver & bones... continually growing. Now in clinical trial on a targeted therapy, it’s a oral inhibitor for 1 of the 3 activated things making the cancer spread so quickly... He’s been FIGHTING & BATTLING this particular cancer 15 months. As of late, he doesn’t ask the elephant in the room... How long... he has tumors like yours’ sizes... He’s pushing pushing pushing every day... at the end of his funeral. He knows I’m playing “I Won’t Back Down”(Tom Petty) & “Eye of the Tiger” (Survivor) because he’s toughs nails & I’m sending him out like the BAD*SS he is!! Many prayers & thanks again for your share.
You are in my prayers, you’re beautiful and strong.
You are such a beautiful and amazing spirit....too bright for this world but a shining beacon in the next.... 💙.... 💙....
I’d love to read your writing. I’m sure it’s amazing. This is weighing heavy on my heart. I’ve watched you for so long and I’ve been so hopeful. Keeping you in my thoughts!!!
Such bravery and courage from this warrior with a beautiful soul as well as so many more courageous fighters throughout the side chat! ❤️
You are so incredibly brave for sharing this with the world. We all love you so much and will always love you. You have created an unbreakable community who will remember you for you. You have changed lives for the better.
Keep talking and we will keep listening. 🙏💙
Daniel you have opened my heart on a way no one ever has! You are an amazing and inspirational man. I wish I could have met you and sat and talked. I know the conversation would have been full of tears and joy! Take care my friend!
I admire the way you look at illness, life and ultimately death Daniel. You have incredible strength and have given so much to others. Know you are leaving an important legacy . May whatever time you have left bring you happiness and peace. Know you are loved!
A beautiful face ,a beautiful soul xxx
