@Sacerdortus Sacerdotvs What God and what punishments are you talkin about???? This was a brave young man that died teaching us LESSONS we, and You should reflect on.....Shame on you
Kablamo Son mmmm...thanks for defence but I don't even listen to him I know my heart good...I just saying he got so much hotter look at those facial features such chiseled jawline mmmmmm.....yes.....mmmmm....exactly right for a masculine face....so hot and model features....makes me tingle...mmmm....such motivation huge motivation for everyone...yes
This is my worst fear, dying slowly without experiencing everything I want in life. Not really a religious person my self, but god I hope there is a heaven for him.
The Lord reaches out to all of us, gives us His hand, and I have no doubt in my mind that God gave him His hand, we can only hope he took it. While there is life there is hope, Ecclesiastes 9:3. Thank you if you read this, may the Holy Spirit work within you, and reveal His love for you, God bless you man, we love you!
Rachael is really cool and funny I too just found this video. I’m sorry.. Ca sucks a$$! You got time. Your helping me live. All any of us have is the present. Much love, respect & prayers
PJ Mundy-I just happened to scroll down from my comment...but I too, said basically the same thing."If only I could make a deal with God, and trade places"(It's a song called "Running Up That Hill" by a band called 'Placebo').I've lived a fairly decent life, I've known love, I was married 30yrs, I had 3 great kids, a nice home, cars, a career, everything a person could hope for...but that was then...now,I live alone, no one here for me anymore, and chronically ill, suffering in pain each day. I make little difference to this world, and would absolutely switch places with this beautiful young soul, loved by MILLIONS, who so selflessly gives each day to others.I'm a Believer, but following Dan has tested my faith beyond any limit I've ever known.This is so INCREDIBLY UNFAIR...
I had cancer at the same time as Dan, I survived. I do come back to visit him here from time to time, it grounds me. Bless you Dan, I do not have the words.
Apart from medical care, salvestrol could be a solution. Check the paper: jeffreydachmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Savestrol-Cases-Studies_JOM_2007_v22_n04_p177.pdf
What can we say?nothing. Stay with your loved ones,don't cry,smile,breath fresh air in the woods,look at the sky and the clouds, laugh, sing, pet an animal. Enjoy the Real treasure of Life. We have to thank you for your example. You are really a good Man and you have a beautiful soul 💖
You should cry if you want to. Telling people not to cry when crying is the way we let stuff out. Dolly Parton said “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion,” said Dolly Parton in the movie Steel Magnolias. When a dear friend shared the quote this week, my whole being nodded.
Dan, someday in not so far future, I'm gonna talk to my kids about a strong, determined, charismatic and extroverted guy who with his positive energy touched people from all over the world and became eternally in the heart of those who knew him (even by videos). My kids will grow up learning from your videos to give value to the simple things in life Dan. I am sure that at some point in history your legacy will become a Cancer Prevention Institute that affects you at this time and your story will not be in vain my dear. I and all of us will remember you forever! And I hope you keep staying here with us for a long time! You are already a winner! All the best from Brasil Forte abraço
Nice words , my daughter has seen some of Dan's vlogs and she is in awe of him, all kids should see how this wonderfully strong and yet fragile man touched many people's hearts.
@@Jacdon Me as well, and I'm his mum's age, but I followed him and his dear mum. I wonder what he would have thought about how the world is today???. He is for sure happy, free and surly having lots of great fun above for sure. We shall all meet up and talk about this world and lifetime in our next journey, well i believe that. Lobe and light to all, we are still around thinking of the family on here.
I am. My husband died 7th July 2000 aged 32yrs, in the Marsden under the incredible care of the late Professor Martin Gore. I keep checking back so his family can always find me xxx
Stormbringer2012 I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and 'believe' that you are just an idiot but even so you are an insensitive gobshite to post that. Apologies Dan but much respect and love and sent.
I’m just an ordinary mom in the US who has been following you since March. YOU have made me a better person - a better Mom, a better wife, a better sister, a better friend...a better person. YOU DID THAT. And you have done, and continue, to do amazing things for people all over the globe. I am more than inspired by your attitude, courage and spirit. You are always in my thoughts & prayers. You are a hero. In my eyes cancer isn’t winning here, even though the end is inevitably near. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. And that, my dear Dan, is the damned fucking truth. Love you.
Donna Lieval what a beautiful message and one I feel many of us can relate to. Dan has single handedly improved thousands of people’s lives in a variety of ways, that is something truly special that the cancer can never take away.
Gavin Roberts for sure. It makes me never want to touch a cigar again and I was smoking a lot out of stress. Just makes me want to change my life in general. Lifestyle changes. And making sure I appreciate little things. I don’t take simple things for granted, but this is a good reminder for us all.
Donna--i couldnt agree with you more!! Since the day i subbed to dan, i have been looking at everything in life completely different. Because of him, i have stopped to "smell the roses" and have even reconnected with people i lost touch with. I am forever grateful to him. I love your comment and wish you a good week.
I’ve struggled finding work a lot this year but whenever I think life is to much I remember this guy and remember that I can still enjoy my friends and family and all of the positives in my life.
Dear Dan.. My whole life i have felt meaningless, worthless, hopeless, depressed, constant anxiety, that nobody loved me, a failure, in everything i do, and everything i have done, i have silently followed you from day one, im not one to speak out, i just sit here in the dark quietly watching, feeling every ounce of your pain, and pleasure in the videos you do, good times/bad times. I have tried suicide several times, i have always wanted to die, but always to weak to do it properly, i couldnt even do that right.. but I want you to no, your whole experience has changed my complete perspective on life, you alone have saved my life, your vlogs have made me a stronger person, my 4yr old son now calls me superman. I feel i can do anything/fix anything... i only wish i had all the power in the world and could fix just 1 thing, i would repay you by saying thank you, and fix you.. you have turned me from the weakest person on the planet, to the 2nd strongest man i no... because you sir.. are number 1.. thank you in all you have done for many. Forever in my heart Dan.. this isnt the end bro.. your soul/legacy will live on forever. This is just the beginning.. Thank you my friend.. ✊❤
@Eric Harris dude what is your problem do you have nothing better to do with your meaningless exsistance although I can see your trying to get a rise out of people.
@Eric Harris What your story? Why thoses words? Are you going thought a hard time yourself? I getting the feeling that you are. Please respect and understand it takes alot for someone to share there story.
@Eric Harris What a shame that you so very obviously have such pathological emotional disturbance and gross lack of empathy and sensibility. Your comment is a testimony to how very much you need help. Hopefully, you'll have the maturity enough to remove your comments before you embarrass yourself any further. I pray your twisted soul will be healed.
That was hard to watch, how can someone get such a bad case of cancer to where everything shuts down like that. it's so heartbreaking to see him suffer, i hope i have half as much strenght as you growing up. we wont forget you
Medical student here in Arizona- It is incredibly humbling to see your strength and resilience in spite of the worst of outcomes. Your battle and your story will forever impact my actions and the way I treat my patients. Rest assured, you have already made this world a better place. Thank you.
I am sure you will remember Dan when you deal with your patients. Be a Dr.Gore in comportment, and in the oath you will take. So proud to have the honor in particular you read your tribute.Namaste.
I am not young anymore. I never ever knew a human being stronger, more resilient than you, Dan. I never met you in person but anyway I knew you. You are my HERO, Dan
Yes we're still here, walking beside you in spirit Dan. Don't be sorry, apologies not necessary because it's been a fight incredibly well fought and we're all so very proud of you. If our love could keep you alive you'd be here for ever. X x
@ShiftCtrl85 no one realises what they got untill it's gone, I get what your saying I find it hard most days to see the point in being alive vut I bet you and I would feel differently about life if we knew we only had a few weeks of it left.
ShiftCtrl85 You’ll be singing a different tune if life ever throws a terminal diagnosis at you. Your whole “woe is me” and “life sucks” attitude is extremely annoying. Let us all know what it’s like when you have some real problems. Because that’s when you’ll realize the little annoyances in your life were actually easy and life really was good.
I feel like I’m watching a family member going through this you have made such an impact on my life in the short time you have been posting your videos it’s made me appreciate and enjoy life more thank you my friend I wish I could give you a great big hug
Hey warrior Dan it's Donna (with the terminal cancer and French bulldogs) I didn't want to bother your channel after my last posting because this is about you NOT ME.I have been sat here with a heavy feeling in my chest and stomach all day thinking about you.I will say this only once and as God is my witness every thing is the truth .I was told January 2nd that I wouldn't last the night,my cancer has metastasised to my bones ,organs, brain ,I had one kidney removed ,a pacemaker fitted a stent put in my remaining kidney .I had a partial lung lobe removed and part of my liver,Dan this was 9 MONTHS ago,nine whole months and IM STILL HERE.My PT scan lights up like the illuminations where I live (Blackpool) apparently the oncologists have never seen anything like it .Darling don't give up ,rest your weary body eat as much as you can and stay positive.Once last thing thank you to every wonderful person that left me positive comments the last time I posted thank you so much.Cant you feel how much we all love you xoxo xoxo
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving We all love you so much Dan and it is with a heavy heavy heart that the day will come when we will no longer see your sweet adorable face...hoping beyond hope that you have won your battle. You have fought the good fight and I'm so grateful that I got to know you through your social networking. You will forever be in my thoughts as you have touched my heart and soul.
You already won. You won at life. You are the strongest person I know, I've been following for so many months and I as a cancer patient who met you during my diagnosis.. let me tell you, so much of my strength comes from you. I will always, for the rest of my life, remember you. As I remember Emily almost every day. You won so many respect, your videos and your words will have meaning and serve as inspiration for so many people for so many years. I still don't want to believe this is the end, I want to believe there will be a miracle. I love you so much Dan, please know that you are sooooo loved. I'm crying as I write this. I love you dude, I really do. Thank you for everything, I thank the universe that I "met" you.
I’m not ashamed to say that I am sitting here crying. Over the past few months, you have become part of my life, my inspiration. Although you have no idea who i am, and that I’ve only known you for a few months, I feel like I am losing one of my closest and best friends. I, along with thousand of others of followers are devastated. Selfishly, I want you to continue to send us videos of you enjoying your time. But in reality I have to put my selfishness aside and recommend you make the most of your time with you family, your friends, and Becky. We love you more than you’ll ever know, but they need you more than ever right now. You are in my prayers today (and for the rest of my life).
There is another Daniel who is going through something similar. I am heartbroken for him but at least he is still fighting. His name is Daniel DC Becker and he has a small youtube channel. He could use our support right now. In a way I wish I had never come across these channels, it's just brutal to watch this struggle. But how I admire them..
May you make the most of it, you don’t understand how much your videos made me appreciate the excitement and preciousness of life, I have really started living different and from a new perspective. Know my friend, that you have changed the lives of thousands of people including me. And I will live my life remembering your valuable lessons and having fond memories of a person I don’t know, I was always afraid of death despite being religious however upon working in a carehome (which I simply did inspired by your videos) I’m beginning to understand that it is courage and determination that will make the next step easier. And I hope that the reality of the situation doesn’t break you. Upon speaking to some residents that are older than 80 in the carehome a man told me recently several weeks before passing away from what turned out to be progressive heart disease when I asked him how to beat the fear of death. He said something on the lines of this. “You can only loose to death when she meets you at your doorstep, you don’t meet her with a smile.” “It’s courage and determination to meet the unknown that will make that step easy, even exciting.” He told me. Of course I didn’t believe him and I still have the fear. Good luck with what awaits you in the time you have. And know that I will always remember you because you have at least a tiny bit, changed my life.
This is so sad. My son fought the cancer and Mayo tried everything and did all they could. He was given 2-3 months. He lived 6 weeks of detioration. Finally, he couldn't even swallow liquid morphine. Rest in peace Dan. Maybe you will meet Michael on the other side. Blessings to your family. I know their love lives on and they will miss you terribly.
Keep LIVING Dan till you can't any longer!!! Keep doing, keep laughing, keep loving, keep breathing. Live the life you have still Dan. You are ALIVE!! ☺ I've had cancer 3 times & I know the fight. Lean on us too Dan. We are here...we love and support you. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. The wind in your hair. The outdoor air. Drink it all in Dan & remember it. All this love from your family, friends & your online family from around the world (us) surrounds you now and always Dan. The love goes with you. 💖
You are still remembered and missed Dan. 3 years later I still feel the loss of someone that I never knew personally. Though your light is gone from this world, the memory of it remains. Sending you ❤ wherever you may be.
I just found this story and I have the overwhelming feeling of loss of someone I knew personally, it's very strange for me. I have been dealing with death since I was small child and i was once was without a pulse or heartbeat myself for close to 4 minutes.. I truly think that we are all connected in some way or another and these kinds of feelings some of us get sometimes only reinforce that belief for me
Stay strong. Don’t worry about videos for us unless it makes you happy. Spend whatever time you have with the ones you care and love the most. What you have done in documenting your struggles has been inspiring and helpful to others who are battling just like yourself. I’m so so sorry. I know what your family is going through, I am myself with my father who has terminal lung cancer, my only family on my side remaining. I won’t even try to imaging how you or my father feels, nobody ever can until it is them. Just know your friends and family love you and will remember you, along with your videos that will last forever and inspire people years from now to fight and help beat this thing. God speed.
Dan: I’ve never commented on a video of yours. As a nurse (and most importantly a geriatric/palliative nurse).. make the most of your time. Don’t exhaust yourself especially fighting for more time. At this point it’s quality over quantity.
I suggest going back to his first video and watching them all chronologically. You'll find out why he's so incredibly loved. Daniel Thomas was an incredibly focused, strong, and giving human being and his journey was nothing short of amazing. God rest his precious soul. You're so missed, Dan, and you are free from pain and the cares of this world. Thank you for being you and sharing that with us.
We've never met. I've never commented. But I've followed, and admired, and heeded your advice - and spent time with my family, loved my loved ones. Taken those trips, bought that ice cream and done all those things that one day, I won't be able to do for a myriad of reasons. Thanks for the constant reminder to live in the moment, love hard - and that lesson will live with me for the rest of my days. I'm so sorry. Thank you for everything you've done, the story you've shared with us thousands of strangers. You have made a difference in this world.
Dan, this is my first time responding but I've been watching your videos everyday sometimes re watching them. I Don't know you and I'm from Denver CO but I feel like I know you and am a friend. You have been amazing through this long hard journey. I'm just crying my eyes out. I honestly feel like this is happening to a member of my family. Please know God and he will make you well again upon your arrival. My thoughts are with YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, AND UTUBE FAMILY. ITS HARD TO DIGEST BUT PLEASE TRY AND BE AT PEACE. EASIER SAID THAN DONE. I hope when I go to heaven I will have the honour and pleasure of meeting you. God bless you!!
I would love to see a drone video! and you better enjoy the shit out of it too! One of my best friends died of lung cancer aged 47. 2 weeks before he died he invited everyone over to watch him play a couple songs on his guitar 🎸 because that's what made him happy. We all had a great time. He died in bed holding hands with his family. So even though it's a whole lot of crap unfair.. you make sure to squeeze as much out-of life as possible in between resting and seeing the Dr. 🤗
A friend of mine got a late diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and passed away two months later. He was 45. He was smiling to the end, laughing that he wanted the story out that he died in bed with three women. His mom, sister, and a friend were there with him, holding his hands and making his departure one of happiness and peace.
I remember watching this the day it was posted, and I cried. Was watching Daniel for a couple months daily really inspiring guy. He loved life and he was full of it. Love you man you’re awesome and After two years after your death I still think about you
Many of us will fade into non existence, but you sir will never be forgotten for generations to come. Thank you for documenting your struggles, it’s just as important to see the difficult sides as it is the positive ones, you have done incredible work. So much love to you, you are an amazing human being. You will always be treasured Dan♥️♥️♥️
As you can see by the number of comments you already have, you have touched so many lives around the world. I am probably old enough to be your grandmother, I'm not sure how I happened upon your channel but I'm so blessed that I did. All of us get caught up in our every day small crises we forget what is really important, and you are the most wonderful example of showing what really matters-just being alive, enjoying our time and families and loving one another. I'm sure that isn't what you were hoping to accomplish with your life initially but it is what it has become. Indeed, there are thousands of us out here who love you, pray for you, and your family. Don't let the pain become all consuming, make sure you are given whatever it takes not to suffer. It sounds as if you have a good medical team, and I'm sure they will do everything possible to ease your "discomfort". Isn't that the most banal remark that the medical community makes-"discomfort"? We are all out here virtually holding on to you and wishing we could save you, and hopefully you will feel the love that surrounds you from everywhere. Love from your American grandmother....I'm holding you tightly
You're unforgettable. Your words, laugh, optimism, spunk and overall personality will forever be in our heart & mind. You've never been bitter, even when you've had reason to be. You've never snapped at the negative critics in the comments; you're always forgiving. You're the light we all strive to be.
I’m crying watching this mainly because I can see your in pain both from the results and from the cancer and I wish you can have some better news or even better days. The fact you upload daily and keep us informed daily amazes me but truly take some time off, spend it by the beach with your family doing what you love to do. I’m heartbroken completely especially since I started watching you months ago cause you gave me so much strength during the time my mom was diagnosed and she’s now better and the fact your not too just really breaks my heart. I’m from Toronto(Canada) and I’ve told my family back in Greece about you so you’ll be remembered around the world for your kindness, strength and determination. Much love
Dan, you have changed my life along with thousands of others around the world. I'm crushed that we will never get to have the beer together. I just want to at least thank you for what you have done here. The strength you have shown is mind boggling. Through watching your videos I have learned how precious the time on earth we all have really is and how important it is to make the best of it. Tonight I will hug my family a little tighter all because of this bloke I know named Dan. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
❤️❤️❤️I have followed you for some time now and talk to friends and family about you and your wonderful brave fight for life. Your a 🌟that will always shine. Like so many I wish I could have know you before the horrid "C". I'm glad I've been able to follow you on some of your journey❤️❤️❤️ love to you, today, tomorrow and always 💋💋💋
So sorry about your latest news. My thoughts prayers and healing hugs I send to you. I am disabled with a none degenerating condition and have left the house once in 14 weeks. Mine is a slow painful road to the end, but I am 61. You are young with.what should be all your life ahead of you. May God find a cute before it's too late, but be sure. You will live on, giving strength I and comfort to others in your videos after you have passed on.to the wonderful adventures you have waiting for you on the.other side..
I was depressively scrolling through my RUclips chart filling out my boredom to distract myself from my problems. This kinda stuff makes me realize how little my problems are actually...
@@randomrazr : I've never met him but he died from a rare cancer called sarcomatoid carcinoma. Thank you for this comment as it reminded me to keep him in my thoughts and prayers once again.
I just want to say what a beautiful and amazing spirit you are.... you have managed to unite 100k people from all corners of the earth who pour out their love for you daily.... you are a real soldier and I'm honoured to know about you.... wish I knew you in real life, I think we could have been amazing friends.... you have such a pure spirit. Just know you are loved and not alone on this. You can cry in your videos If you want to, I doubt that anyone would judge you. I don't even know you but I send you my love
You have NOTHING to be sorry for, Dan! You have fought this fight with every fiber of your being! I'm so sorry they could not give you more time. You DO what you want & feel up to doing. Even if you don't feel like posting videos, you will still be in our hearts & thoughts. Even long after you've been gone. Because you have touched everyone's life so deeply....you will never be forgotten. You certainly did teach us about strength & the incredible amount of courage you've had throughout! Much love to you, my friend!
Hey Linda, I know your comment is written with the best of intentions (and much of it is lovely), but please don't portray those who have cancer as being engaged in a 'fight'. In doing so, you contribute to a predominant narrative regarding cancer, in which the disease and the afflicted are 'fighting' it out. Inevitably, this means there are 'winners' and 'losers'. When somebody 'loses' their 'fight' with cancer, that implies that in their death, cancer has 'won' and they have 'lost'. I know that you'll agree with me that Dan isn't a loser. There are no winners and losers when it comes to cancer; nor is there a fight.
Christopher Griffin.... Let people grieve the way they need to. It's not appropriate to tell them how to think or what to say. Especially in these times. reported
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 It's the regurgitation of a predominant perception of cancer that is overlooked in its toxicity: that cancer is a monster that must be 'fought'; that it's a 'battle'. Battles have winners and losers. It portrays those who die of cancer as losers. Have you seen someone you love die of cancer? Are they a loser? No. So, living with cancer isn't a fight then. Do you not see that?
@@filthycade2399 I don't know if I would use a metaphor to describe the condition of someone who has cancer but, if I did, it would be one that doesn't present those who die of cancer as losers.
This shows what a top guy Dan is. He receives devastating news... and apologises to us! You have nothing to be sorry for, Dan. Your strength and determination are amazing. I'm sorry the cancer is spreading so fast. But right now, you are still alive when by all accounts you shouldn't be. What a damn champion!! Is chemo still an option? My thoughts and love are with you, Becky, and your family xxxx
I am still holding your hand, all the time. Every day I am thinking about you and the fight your are fighting. Now lay back and enjoy the time with your loved once. I like you very much, even I don't know you at all. Sharing your search, your pain, your thoughts and disapointments is the greatest gift you could haven given us ever!!!!
Yesterday I saw a clip from Claire Wineland and it was raw honest. She described what dying was like for her and two things that stuck out and will stay with me forever are: 1. People got it completely wrong when they say there is a right way to go and this is to accept the unchangeable. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO PEACEFULLY because we love life and cling to it and grieve when we realize we are losing it. Period. 2. When it finally happens you feel like a helpless young child again and you need to feel that you are not alone and your mum holds your hand. I myself stayed with dying family members and from two the last intelligible word was Mum. So maybe this is universal; make sure someone dear to your heart is always next to you and will find the strength for you both to hold your hand and you will feel that you are not alone on this hardest and unwanted road of all. If wishes were horses.... So sad to have to hear this. I am sorry if you feel this comment is unsolicited advice. I took the "risk" in good faith and emotional involvement, even though I don't know you in RL. X.
I think the death with dignity act AKA assisted suicide should be an option FOR ALL. "We are not supposed to go peacefully". That is a broad statement. Many are in SEVERE pain and the quality of life is not worth living when the inevitable will surely occur no matter how much you want to fight it. Many do not want their faces to be unrecognizable as a side effect of the drugs like my gpa had. It can take their dignity and many do not want that to be the last thing people, including their own children to remember them as. Religion is the only disease stopping such progress. We allow our pets to go peacefully but not ourselves. It is a shame. I hope Dan can have the best quality of life that he has left. He is a hell of a guy.
@@Poker-is8dt Totally agree. In Switzerland and the Netherland they have already reached this level of dignified civilisation. Edit: Maybe I worded it wrongly, the two points I mentioned were Claire's message, I just added my own observation at the end which fits from the "other" side.
We found out my grandma had cancer in 2013, she had stage 4 aggressive bladder cancer. My whole family was heartbroken, we absolutely loved her, she brought us together more than anyone else ever had, she was so positive and loving even in times when we didn’t deserve it. She’s as close to an angel as I could imagine one being, someone incredibly special, and nothing like I’ve ever met to this day. She passed away two months after her diagnosis, it was the worst moment of my life watching her slowly fade away. But when I last talked to her before the cancer took over, she said she had lived her life and done what she needed to do and was ready to go. Cancer also took my uncle two years later, two days after my 19th birthday, I spent my birthday saying my goodbyes to him as I emotionally couldn’t handle watching him fade away too and went home. I know how devastating cancer is, my other uncle just got diagnosed with it as well, again my family is already horribly frightened to lose another wonderful person, I’m so so sorry you are going through this. I want to say god has plans for all of us, even ones that feel like the crappy end of the stick, you have touched so many people’s lives Dan. Watching this has broken my heart as cancer has done to me so many times, in whatever waits for us on the other side, I would like to think it’s a place much better than what we leave behind here, even though it feels like there is not much time left, please know every second counts and that we all love you so much. Sending lots of hugs and love ❤️
I love you Dan. You bring so much joy into the world. You truly help me in ways I don't fully understand. I know without a doubt that I love you, your family, your girlfriend, and your support team. Thank you for sharing your journey with the ups and the downs. Your life is beautiful and I can honestly say I will never forget you. I look forward to seeing your face again and feeling your lovely spirit through the screen. You are beyond amazing.
You have expressed very well what I think everyone has been thinking, I'd only come across his videos a few months ago but I always look forward to what he has to say. I really wish the outcome could have been different but I think he will live on in all of us that follow him. Stay strong dan xoxo
I followed Dan on RUclips when he was fighting so hard to get better. I still watch his videos. Dan, you continue to have an impact on many people even though you are not with us. We will never forget you.
Dearest Dan.....I rarely comment on videos....I have been watching your vlogs and IG since the beginning and I can tell you that I am utterly gutted from your news. Like so many commenters I too feel like I know you and your family. I want to THANK YOU for all your videos and words that you have given us all these many days. You are so LOVED. I will close now as I need to wipe all the tears off my smartphone. Take care...Luv you 💋
I processed it in my mind now, because I was shocked at first. This man right here is a legend, so sad that todays medicine can't do nothing about it..
It truly is a sign of your warmth and openness that everyone feels like they're watching a family member suffering. Know that whenever it comes time for you to rest, you have put up the most valiant fight anyone could muster. I'm sure I speak for all of your followers when I say you deserve the utmost respect and love for your journey. You've humbled me and given me an appreciation for the endless things I take for granted in this life. I feel blessed to have shared in watching your journey. Warmth and peace in this life and the next.
My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in August 2021. He went through so much pain and so many treatments but he was slowly improving. Unfortunately that changed this August. An uncaught mass damaged his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down which resulted in an invasive surgery that took him off his cancer treatment. Within weeks the cancer spread everywhere in his body. I'm learning how to say goodbye to him in the next couple of weeks. He is only 55 years old and he did not have the best life, but hopefully he can now rest in peace. I am glad I remember Tom's story from years ago, it gives me strength to smile and give my dad a proper goodbye.
Jerry, we’ve all lost family members I’ve lost my mother and father to this. BUT, why are you talking about your situation on a video where a man less than half the age of you or my father has less than weeks to live? It’s narcissistic to the core sir and I pray you delete it.
@@scottfrost8956 You have no right to speak of character flaws. Look into the mirror before you critique others because your reflection is NOT pretty. What is wrong with you?
This is devastating news Dan. I wish I had some profoundly wise words to say, but I don't. I love you Dan and I am crying with you. We all love you and I believe that there is not one of us that aren't hugging you tightly to our hearts, this very minute. You entered our lives and hearts as a brightly shining beacon of hope and, you my dear friend, are someone who will never be forgotten. You helped us to take the focus off of ourselves and instilled a burning passion to fight with all we have for you. Heroes like you come one in a million and it has been a real honor to have you as my hero. With love from Canada xox
Dan, you will never die in the hearts of the many thousands of people who have grown to love you through your videos. Yours is a brave journey, thank you for sharing it. Be with your family and cherish every moment. We will keep your spirit with us all over the world, you will not be forgotten. Love, light and peace.
Also. I want to make sure I heard you correctly... that they can't AMPUTATE your arm?! The fact that you would have your arm amputated speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. You're such a badass fighter and nobody can EVER say that you didn't try to beat this shit. Seriously, I have so much respect for your passion for life and feel so much contempt for the damn disease of cancer.
You know what struck me the most in this sad video? You Dan @peeweetoms apologizing to US, the simple viewers, that you couldn’t give us better news. 😢. You are such an incredible man Dan! Your family and your amazing girlfriend are SO blessed to have you in their lives. I honestly cannot imagine how terrifying it must be to have receive this news. My own life is nothing special and I spent many years wanting and wishing I was “not here”. Through Therapy and from watching different videos like yours, @sofia and @emilyhayward, I’ve learned how beyond precious every moment of life is that we have been blessed with. The simple things are the most important. Doing the things in life that mean the most to you and spending quality memory time with your loved ones. THAT is what’s important. Not the length of life but the quality of life. You have achieved SO much and I just KNOW that you have SO much more to achieve before you move onto eternal love, peace, pain free “life”. Do what you need to do Dan. 💖 When your voice gets to be too tough, make those “written on paper” vlogs. Or whatever you want and choose to do. Most importantly, do what YOU need and want to do. This is YOUR life and you need to full fill every second of it with pure happiness and love. God Bless you Dan. We all love you more than you can even imagine. Love from Canada 🇨🇦💖 and big hugs to you and your girlfriend.
Very sad..but keep fighting mate..your life/our fight, we're all with you..praying, hoping, wishing, pleading, begging..Your not alone..yeah go have some fun xx
We are saying sorry to you. YOU are the most outstanding person in the world.. OMG you have given us hope, determination, love. You have shared yourself with the world when you could have been selfish. Dan, I can't to begin to tell you what a huge impact you have made with your video's and love of life and for your family. You are leaving us with so many riches. You are loved but so many people.Know you will not be forgotten ever. Please, don't suffer. It's time you rest and enjoy the time you have. Always know how much your viewers love you. God will bless you a hundred fold. Blessings to your family which includes ginger. Much love.
You’ve already won. You have managed to reach out over the internet using your videos, blogs and photos and touch lives all over the world. You’ve inspired me, who has been so deep in depression for years to start looking at my own existence differently and cherish what I have more than I did before and for that I am eternally grateful. ❤️
Oh Dan, after all you’ve been through you’re still apologizing for having to give US bad news. This speaks volumes about the kind of person that you are and that is why I admire you so. We are all behind you and will always continue to be. Feel all that you can, love as hard as you can and laugh everyday, we will all continue to do the same. You and your family are never far from my thoughts xx
1:34 what a strong guy, there is no way I would be able to keep myself together if I were him reading those words “life expectancy isn’t long”. Fly high dude!
This is the first video of yours that I have had to stop midway through Dan. I have been watching you since I believe March. I have laughed with you, chuckled with you, I have shed some empathy tears here and there but have always watched all the way through because I have been in awe of your strength and perseverance. Today my youtube pal, I have heartache. I pray that you can stick this out and enjoy your life as you have since I have been watching. Reluctantly I will complete watching this one until the end as well however I know I will have a heavy heart. I will continue to pray for you and your family🌼❤
@Eric Harris have you been watching his vids? It wasn't about the fact that he has terminal cancer. I think it is about his fight and wanting to find alternatives, staying positive and schooling others on the whole process. Not feeling sorry for himself during the process. Takes a special person to do that...in my opinion.
@@brianking1921 Well if you don't die from anything else, you eventually die from cancer. That'll happen to all of us if we don't die in an accident, to an infection or to other age-related damages. Fortunately cancer research is well funded.
All you do is kill death instead by stealing its scythe and act like you're going to kill your brother with the scythe but instead stab death with the scythe
Life and death are indeed mysteries. I see and hear the sadness in you with this prognosis. Dear Daniel, be assured you will never be forgotten. You have bravely shared with us all your struggle and sheer willpower to fight against this cruel disease. Please only video what you really want to share. Spend your precious time with those who love you and whom you love in return. May peace be ever with you during your remaining time on Earth and for all eternity.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Many people come this way and leave life without leaving any Mark that they were even here. Not for you my friend.! Your legacy and your mark will live on for a long long time. People know and will know that you were here. You made a difference. You touched people. You left your mark. From one Dudley chap to another.....ce ya later me old mate
Dan - Don't concern yourself with uploading content for us. Spend precious moments with those dear to you, and make golden memories. I see you trying to feel up to par, even as this tidal wave of illness is enveloping you. Hoping you can feel the surge of love and support for you from all corners of the world. You will forever be a hero of the highest magnitude. Get some rest, and gather your loved ones close, as you process this phase of your life journey. (As an afterthought, cancer must be the foulest beast in the bowels of the underworld. Wishing fervently for an undefeatable champion that will vanquish this monstrous disease, and put a lid on its coffin.)
Genuinely had tears in my eyes watching this. I know it's no doubt bloody hard right now, you you have to stay positive. You're surrounded by family and friends that love you. You have 125k people wishing you well I wish you all the Best Dan, keep fighting mate
Never in my life have I commented on a you tube video - this is my first - and it is you who have spurred me to do so. You are an amazing person, with such strength and dignity in the face of unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Your honesty is disarming, your pain is tangible, your humanity is raw. There are really no words that I can offer to provide any of the things I wish to - support, comfort, peace, love but I do want to thank you for the life lessons you have taught and for attempting to make this word a better place. Many people are thinking of you and surrounding you with loving thoughts and virtual hugs. I wish you strength and peace of mind as you face what is to come. Your Love for your family, friends and humanity at large, will never be lost. You have made a difference to this world. XXXXXX

Watching a 32 year old man facing the final days of his life on camera is heartbraking.
Words fail me.

For whatever reason I don't remember him being so young.

You should know you have had a profound impact on millions of people Dan. We love you.
very much yes :,)

Kablamo Son mmmm...thanks for defence but I don't even listen to him I know my heart good...I just saying he got so much hotter look at those facial features such chiseled jawline mmmmmm.....yes.....mmmmm....exactly right for a masculine face....so hot and model features....makes me tingle...mmmm....such motivation huge motivation for everyone...yes
so true
@『 L U X U R I A 』 wow youre so edgy kid picking on people with cancer hope you feel good about yourself
This is my worst fear, dying slowly without experiencing everything I want in life. Not really a religious person my self, but god I hope there is a heaven for him.
The Lord reaches out to all of us, gives us His hand, and I have no doubt in my mind that God gave him His hand, we can only hope he took it. While there is life there is hope, Ecclesiastes 9:3. Thank you if you read this, may the Holy Spirit work within you, and reveal His love for you, God bless you man, we love you!

Cancer can't destroy your heart. You are an amazing human being!
Such a perfect comment especially for us who can;t find the words!! Thank You!!
No joke it literally was destroying his heart.
I’ve never watched one of your videos and I don’t know who you are but this broke my heart
Same here .life can be so unfair. My thoughts are with you my friend
Me too.. Cancer sucks.
Me as well. Just broke my heart watching this.
Omg.. Same. So heartbreaking. 😢😢😢😭😭😭
Rachael is really cool and funny I too just found this video. I’m sorry.. Ca sucks a$$! You got time. Your helping me live. All any of us have is the present.
Much love, respect & prayers
My heart broke a bit here. I am 72. I would take the cancer from you. I am more than sorry Dan. I feel so helpless. Prayers and Love
PJ Mundy-I just happened to scroll down from my comment...but I too, said basically the same thing."If only I could make a deal with God, and trade places"(It's a song called "Running Up That Hill" by a band called 'Placebo').I've lived a fairly decent life, I've known love, I was married 30yrs, I had 3 great kids, a nice home, cars, a career, everything a person could hope for...but that was then...now,I live alone, no one here for me anymore, and chronically ill, suffering in pain each day. I make little difference to this world, and would absolutely switch places with this beautiful young soul, loved by MILLIONS, who so selflessly gives each day to others.I'm a Believer, but following Dan has tested my faith beyond any limit I've ever known.This is so INCREDIBLY UNFAIR...
God Bless you for wanting to lay down your life for another to live !!
Your reply made me tear up. Bless you.
I wish more than anything that we could save him! ;(
I feel horrible being a cancer survivor!
I had cancer at the same time as Dan, I survived. I do come back to visit him here from time to time, it grounds me. Bless you Dan, I do not have the words.

What can we say?nothing. Stay with your loved ones,don't cry,smile,breath fresh air in the woods,look at the sky and the clouds, laugh, sing, pet an animal. Enjoy the Real treasure of Life. We have to thank you for your example. You are really a good Man and you have a beautiful soul 💖
Rita Mark you know that's how we all should live everyday because you never know if it's your last...
You should cry if you want to. Telling people not to cry when crying is the way we let stuff out. Dolly Parton said “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion,” said Dolly Parton in the movie Steel Magnolias. When a dear friend shared the quote this week, my whole being nodded.

This is beautiful
Dan, someday in not so far future, I'm gonna talk to my kids about a strong, determined, charismatic and extroverted guy who with his positive energy touched people from all over the world and became eternally in the heart of those who knew him (even by videos).
My kids will grow up learning from your videos to give value to the simple things in life Dan.
I am sure that at some point in history your legacy will become a Cancer Prevention Institute that affects you at this time and your story will not be in vain my dear. I and all of us will remember you forever!
And I hope you keep staying here with us for a long time!
You are already a winner!

Who is here still thinking of Dan in 2022? Always in my thoughts🙏❤
🎉😢❤
I am ❤
@@Jacdon Me as well, and I'm his mum's age, but I followed him and his dear mum. I wonder what he would have thought about how the world is today???. He is for sure happy, free and surly having lots of great fun above for sure. We shall all meet up and talk about this world and lifetime in our next journey, well i believe that. Lobe and light to all, we are still around thinking of the family on here.

I am. My husband died 7th July 2000 aged 32yrs, in the Marsden under the incredible care of the late Professor Martin Gore. I keep checking back so his family can always find me xxx

Apologies Dan but much respect and love and sent.
We are here from all corners of the world hoisting you up, regardless of your physical state. We exalt and love you.
I’m just an ordinary mom in the US who has been following you since March. YOU have made me a better person - a better Mom, a better wife, a better sister, a better friend...a better person. YOU DID THAT. And you have done, and continue, to do amazing things for people all over the globe. I am more than inspired by your attitude, courage and spirit. You are always in my thoughts & prayers. You are a hero. In my eyes cancer isn’t winning here, even though the end is inevitably near. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. And that, my dear Dan, is the damned fucking truth. Love you.
Donna Lieval what a beautiful message and one I feel many of us can relate to. Dan has single handedly improved thousands of people’s lives in a variety of ways, that is something truly special that the cancer can never take away.
Gavin Roberts for sure. It makes me never want to touch a cigar again and I was smoking a lot out of stress. Just makes me want to change my life in general. Lifestyle changes. And making sure I appreciate little things. I don’t take simple things for granted, but this is a good reminder for us all.
Donna--i couldnt agree with you more!! Since the day i subbed to dan, i have been looking at everything in life completely different. Because of him, i have stopped to "smell the roses" and have even reconnected with people i lost touch with. I am forever grateful to him. I love your comment and wish you a good week.
Well said.
Beautifully said. ❤️
I think of this man every day as a reminder to myself of how greatful I should be that I’m healthy and alive today. Rest In Peace Dan ❤️
Grateful....not greatful
I’ve struggled finding work a lot this year but whenever I think life is to much I remember this guy and remember that I can still enjoy my friends and family and all of the positives in my life.
Dear Dan..
My whole life i have felt meaningless, worthless, hopeless, depressed, constant anxiety, that nobody loved me, a failure, in everything i do, and everything i have done, i have silently followed you from day one, im not one to speak out, i just sit here in the dark quietly watching, feeling every ounce of your pain, and pleasure in the videos you do, good times/bad times. I have tried suicide several times, i have always wanted to die, but always to weak to do it properly, i couldnt even do that right.. but I want you to no, your whole experience has changed my complete perspective on life, you alone have saved my life, your vlogs have made me a stronger person, my 4yr old son now calls me superman. I feel i can do anything/fix anything... i only wish i had all the power in the world and could fix just 1 thing, i would repay you by saying thank you, and fix you.. you have turned me from the weakest person on the planet, to the 2nd strongest man i no... because you sir.. are number 1.. thank you in all you have done for many. Forever in my heart Dan.. this isnt the end bro.. your soul/legacy will live on forever. This is just the beginning..
Thank you my friend.. ✊❤
@Eric Harris dude what is your problem do you have nothing better to do with your meaningless exsistance although I can see your trying to get a rise out of people.
@Eric Harris What your story? Why thoses words? Are you going thought a hard time yourself? I getting the feeling that you are. Please respect and understand it takes alot for someone to share there story.
@Eric Harris What a shame that you so very obviously have such pathological emotional disturbance and gross lack of empathy and sensibility. Your comment is a testimony to how very much you need help. Hopefully, you'll have the maturity enough to remove your comments before you embarrass yourself any further. I pray your twisted soul will be healed.
Yes to this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Eric Harris sod off troll
That was hard to watch, how can someone get such a bad case of cancer to where everything shuts down like that. it's so heartbreaking to see him suffer, i hope i have half as much strenght as you growing up. we wont forget you
Medical student here in Arizona- It is incredibly humbling to see your strength and resilience in spite of the worst of outcomes. Your battle and your story will forever impact my actions and the way I treat my patients. Rest assured, you have already made this world a better place. Thank you.
See One, Do One .... Love this ♥️
That is a lovely tribute x x
Lovely
I am sure you will remember Dan when you deal with your patients. Be a Dr.Gore in comportment, and in the oath you will take. So proud to have the honor in particular you read your tribute.Namaste.
See one, Do one The world needs more docs like you...or the one you are on the path to becoming.

And to think we all moan about little things in life, this guy is so brave

@@marvinthiessen3454 So very true !! They should Google the story of Delaney Clements !! She was wise beyond her years !!!!!
ShiftCtrl85 You’ll be singing a different tune if life ever throws a terminal diagnosis at you. Your whole “woe is me” and “life sucks” attitude is extremely annoying. Let us all know what it’s like when you have some real problems. Because that’s when you’ll realize the little annoyances in your life were actually easy and life really was good.

Hey warrior Dan it's Donna (with the terminal cancer and French bulldogs) I didn't want to bother your channel after my last posting because this is about you NOT ME.I have been sat here with a heavy feeling in my chest and stomach all day thinking about you.I will say this only once and as God is my witness every thing is the truth .I was told January 2nd that I wouldn't last the night,my cancer has metastasised to my bones ,organs, brain ,I had one kidney removed ,a pacemaker fitted a stent put in my remaining kidney .I had a partial lung lobe removed and part of my liver,Dan this was 9 MONTHS ago,nine whole months and IM STILL HERE.My PT scan lights up like the illuminations where I live (Blackpool) apparently the oncologists have never seen anything like it .Darling don't give up ,rest your weary body eat as much as you can and stay positive.Once last thing thank you to every wonderful person that left me positive comments the last time I posted thank you so much.Cant you feel how much we all love you xoxo xoxo
Dan, please don't worry about The videos, just spend your time with your family, we Love u, and we stand with you
Find myself checking in on Dan's videos all the time as a reminder how precious life is and how tiny most of our problems are.
ure right. Sometimes we forget what are the most important things in life and persue the stupid ones. How silly of us
I'm so sorry. Nobody deserves time as much as you do. However you have touched more people then most do in several lifetimes.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
Washington Irving
We all love you so much Dan and it is with a heavy heavy heart that the day will come when we will no longer see your sweet adorable face...hoping beyond hope that you have won your battle. You have fought the good fight and I'm so grateful that I got to know you through your social networking. You will forever be in my thoughts as you have touched my heart and soul.
You already won. You won at life. You are the strongest person I know, I've been following for so many months and I as a cancer patient who met you during my diagnosis.. let me tell you, so much of my strength comes from you. I will always, for the rest of my life, remember you. As I remember Emily almost every day. You won so many respect, your videos and your words will have meaning and serve as inspiration for so many people for so many years. I still don't want to believe this is the end, I want to believe there will be a miracle. I love you so much Dan, please know that you are sooooo loved. I'm crying as I write this. I love you dude, I really do. Thank you for everything, I thank the universe that I "met" you.
RIP Dan your life mattered.... You made an impact and your story will never be forgotten
I’m not ashamed to say that I am sitting here crying. Over the past few months, you have become part of my life, my inspiration. Although you have no idea who i am, and that I’ve only known you for a few months, I feel like I am losing one of my closest and best friends. I, along with thousand of others of followers are devastated. Selfishly, I want you to continue to send us videos of you enjoying your time. But in reality I have to put my selfishness aside and recommend you make the most of your time with you family, your friends, and Becky. We love you more than you’ll ever know, but they need you more than ever right now. You are in my prayers today (and for the rest of my life).
So well said Mike. Thank you.
March 14, 2020. Still thinking of you. We’re still here. RIP ❤️
3 months later and same Dan's story affected me so much ♥️😭
Just read this from you and cried fuckk man x
There is another Daniel who is going through something similar. I am heartbroken for him but at least he is still fighting. His name is Daniel DC Becker and he has a small youtube channel. He could use our support right now. In a way I wish I had never come across these channels, it's just brutal to watch this struggle. But how I admire them..
So sad
He never looked sick!!
May you make the most of it, you don’t understand how much your videos made me appreciate the excitement and preciousness of life, I have really started living different and from a new perspective. Know my friend, that you have changed the lives of thousands of people including me. And I will live my life remembering your valuable lessons and having fond memories of a person I don’t know, I was always afraid of death despite being religious however upon working in a carehome (which I simply did inspired by your videos) I’m beginning to understand that it is courage and determination that will make the next step easier. And I hope that the reality of the situation doesn’t break you.
Upon speaking to some residents that are older than 80 in the carehome a man told me recently several weeks before passing away from what turned out to be progressive heart disease when I asked him how to beat the fear of death. He said something on the lines of this.
“You can only loose to death when she meets you at your doorstep, you don’t meet her with a smile.”
“It’s courage and determination to meet the unknown that will make that step easy, even exciting.” He told me.
Of course I didn’t believe him and I still have the fear. Good luck with what awaits you in the time you have. And know that I will always remember you because you have at least a tiny bit, changed my life.
This is so sad. My son fought the cancer and Mayo tried everything and did all they could. He was given 2-3 months. He lived 6 weeks of detioration. Finally, he couldn't even swallow liquid morphine. Rest in peace Dan. Maybe you will meet Michael on the other side. Blessings to your family. I know their love lives on and they will miss you terribly.
Is Dan still living?
@@troyleekimble7557no he died

You are still remembered and missed Dan. 3 years later I still feel the loss of someone that I never knew personally. Though your light is gone from this world, the memory of it remains. Sending you ❤ wherever you may be.
Me too, this was so unfair.
I just found this story and I have the overwhelming feeling of loss of someone I knew personally, it's very strange for me. I have been dealing with death since I was small child and i was once was without a pulse or heartbeat myself for close to 4 minutes.. I truly think that we are all connected in some way or another and these kinds of feelings some of us get sometimes only reinforce that belief for me

What you have done in documenting your struggles has been inspiring and helpful to others who are battling just like yourself.
I’m so so sorry. I know what your family is going through, I am myself with my father who has terminal lung cancer, my only family on my side remaining. I won’t even try to imaging how you or my father feels, nobody ever can until it is them.

Dikke knuffel veel liefde toegewenst
So sad dan u really touched my heart god. Spead my friend lv to ur .amazing family
Dan: I’ve never commented on a video of yours. As a nurse (and most importantly a geriatric/palliative nurse).. make the most of your time. Don’t exhaust yourself especially fighting for more time. At this point it’s quality over quantity.
I literally have no idea who this man was, but to read these comments tells me he was incredibly loved.
He was. 😪
I suggest going back to his first video and watching them all chronologically. You'll find out why he's so incredibly loved. Daniel Thomas was an incredibly focused, strong, and giving human being and his journey was nothing short of amazing. God rest his precious soul. You're so missed, Dan, and you are free from pain and the cares of this world. Thank you for being you and sharing that with us.
@@ellejay2021 I'll check them out!
Yes he was
He still is.💕
We've never met. I've never commented. But I've followed, and admired, and heeded your advice - and spent time with my family, loved my loved ones. Taken those trips, bought that ice cream and done all those things that one day, I won't be able to do for a myriad of reasons.
Thanks for the constant reminder to live in the moment, love hard - and that lesson will live with me for the rest of my days.
I'm so sorry. Thank you for everything you've done, the story you've shared with us thousands of strangers. You have made a difference in this world.
Dan, this is my first time responding but I've been watching your videos everyday sometimes re watching them. I Don't know you and I'm from Denver CO but I feel like I know you and am a friend. You have been amazing through this long hard journey. I'm just crying my eyes out. I honestly feel like this is happening to a member of my family. Please know God and he will make you well again upon your arrival. My thoughts are with YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, AND UTUBE FAMILY. ITS HARD TO DIGEST BUT PLEASE TRY AND BE AT PEACE. EASIER SAID THAN DONE. I hope when I go to heaven I will have the honour and pleasure of meeting you. God bless you!!
I would love to see a drone video! and you better enjoy the shit out of it too! One of my best friends died of lung cancer aged 47. 2 weeks before he died he invited everyone over to watch him play a couple songs on his guitar 🎸 because that's what made him happy. We all had a great time. He died in bed holding hands with his family. So even though it's a whole lot of crap unfair.. you make sure to squeeze as much out-of life as possible in between resting and seeing the Dr. 🤗
A friend of mine got a late diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and passed away two months later. He was 45. He was smiling to the end, laughing that he wanted the story out that he died in bed with three women. His mom, sister, and a friend were there with him, holding his hands and making his departure one of happiness and peace.
aw sounds like my cousins story even down to the... 3 women joke.. i miss him.. x
I remember watching this the day it was posted, and I cried. Was watching Daniel for a couple months daily really inspiring guy. He loved life and he was full of it. Love you man you’re awesome and After two years after your death I still think about you
Amazing words💚
Many of us will fade into non existence, but you sir will never be forgotten for generations to come. Thank you for documenting your struggles, it’s just as important to see the difficult sides as it is the positive ones, you have done incredible work. So much love to you, you are an amazing human being. You will always be treasured Dan♥️♥️♥️
As you can see by the number of comments you already have, you have touched so many lives around the world. I am probably old enough to be your grandmother, I'm not sure how I happened upon your channel but I'm so blessed that I did. All of us get caught up in our every day small crises we forget what is really important, and you are the most wonderful example of showing what really matters-just being alive, enjoying our time and families and loving one another. I'm sure that isn't what you were hoping to accomplish with your life initially but it is what it has become. Indeed, there are thousands of us out here who love you, pray for you, and your family. Don't let the pain become all consuming, make sure you are given whatever it takes not to suffer. It sounds as if you have a good medical team, and I'm sure they will do everything possible to ease your "discomfort". Isn't that the most banal remark that the medical community makes-"discomfort"? We are all out here virtually holding on to you and wishing we could save you, and hopefully you will feel the love that surrounds you from everywhere. Love from your American grandmother....I'm holding you tightly
Kay Jay What a lovely thing to say. Thank you.
kay the world needs more people like you, your love crosses oceans and climbs mountains, may your god be with you always.
You've touched the hearts of thousands Dan. You are a remarkable man , with a kind soul.
To everyone fighting this awful disease, my heart goes out to you. You are warriors. 😥
You're unforgettable. Your words, laugh, optimism, spunk and overall personality will forever be in our heart & mind. You've never been bitter, even when you've had reason to be. You've never snapped at the negative critics in the comments; you're always forgiving. You're the light we all strive to be.
Celeste Whoknows beautifully said 🌸
I’m crying watching this mainly because I can see your in pain both from the results and from the cancer and I wish you can have some better news or even better days. The fact you upload daily and keep us informed daily amazes me but truly take some time off, spend it by the beach with your family doing what you love to do. I’m heartbroken completely especially since I started watching you months ago cause you gave me so much strength during the time my mom was diagnosed and she’s now better and the fact your not too just really breaks my heart. I’m from Toronto(Canada) and I’ve told my family back in Greece about you so you’ll be remembered around the world for your kindness, strength and determination. Much love
Dan, you have changed my life along with thousands of others around the world. I'm crushed that we will never get to have the beer together. I just want to at least thank you for what you have done here. The strength you have shown is mind boggling. Through watching your videos I have learned how precious the time on earth we all have really is and how important it is to make the best of it. Tonight I will hug my family a little tighter all because of this bloke I know named Dan. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
my dear friend dan , i miss you so much hope you are resting now. am still watching your videos.

Just know you are loved and not alone on this. You can cry in your videos If you want to, I doubt that anyone would judge you. I don't even know you but I send you my love
You have NOTHING to be sorry for, Dan! You have fought this fight with every fiber of your being! I'm so sorry they could not give you more time. You DO what you want & feel up to doing. Even if you don't feel like posting videos, you will still be in our hearts & thoughts. Even long after you've been gone. Because you have touched everyone's life so deeply....you will never be forgotten. You certainly did teach us about strength & the incredible amount of courage you've had throughout! Much love to you, my friend!
Hey Linda, I know your comment is written with the best of intentions (and much of it is lovely), but please don't portray those who have cancer as being engaged in a 'fight'.
In doing so, you contribute to a predominant narrative regarding cancer, in which the disease and the afflicted are 'fighting' it out. Inevitably, this means there are 'winners' and 'losers'.
When somebody 'loses' their 'fight' with cancer, that implies that in their death, cancer has 'won' and they have 'lost'.
I know that you'll agree with me that Dan isn't a loser. There are no winners and losers when it comes to cancer; nor is there a fight.
Christopher Griffin.... Let people grieve the way they need to. It's not appropriate to tell them how to think or what to say. Especially in these times. reported
Christopher Griffin ok. So phrase ‘fighting a disease’ should be prohibited? What inoffensive synonym would u use?
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 It's the regurgitation of a predominant perception of cancer that is overlooked in its toxicity: that cancer is a monster that must be 'fought'; that it's a 'battle'. Battles have winners and losers. It portrays those who die of cancer as losers.
Have you seen someone you love die of cancer? Are they a loser? No. So, living with cancer isn't a fight then.
Do you not see that?
@@filthycade2399 I don't know if I would use a metaphor to describe the condition of someone who has cancer but, if I did, it would be one that doesn't present those who die of cancer as losers.
My wife says I need to stop watching this but I can’t, I always tell her he’s my friend even though I don’t know him.
Just me , I always say the same thing he is my friend !!
you’re a good person, your wife is being silly.
Just Me you are not alone in this feeling my friend x
He changed many of us for the better and we joined as friends to support him. So my friend, I am sorry for our loss of this good man.
Just Me dan has over 100k friends all over the world he has never met 💜 I like him more then most people that have been in my life for years
This shows what a top guy Dan is. He receives devastating news... and apologises to us! You have nothing to be sorry for, Dan. Your strength and determination are amazing. I'm sorry the cancer is spreading so fast. But right now, you are still alive when by all accounts you shouldn't be. What a damn champion!! Is chemo still an option? My thoughts and love are with you, Becky, and your family xxxx
I am still holding your hand, all the time. Every day I am thinking about you and the fight your are fighting. Now lay back and enjoy the time with your loved once. I like you very much, even I don't know you at all. Sharing your search, your pain, your thoughts and disapointments is the greatest gift you could haven given us ever!!!!
Rest in peace Dan. I can't believe that it has been 3 years since you had passed. But you are now free of pain and cancer
Is that a joke? He's dead. It's the same as saying: but your condition has been stable now for four years.

Yesterday I saw a clip from Claire Wineland and it was raw honest. She described what dying was like for her and two things that stuck out and will stay with me forever are:
1. People got it completely wrong when they say there is a right way to go and this is to accept the unchangeable. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO PEACEFULLY because we love life and cling to it and grieve when we realize we are losing it. Period.
2. When it finally happens you feel like a helpless young child again and you need to feel that you are not alone and your mum holds your hand.
I myself stayed with dying family members and from two the last intelligible word was Mum. So maybe this is universal; make sure someone dear to your heart is always next to you and will find the strength for you both to hold your hand and you will feel that you are not alone on this hardest and unwanted road of all.
If wishes were horses....
So sad to have to hear this. I am sorry if you feel this comment is unsolicited advice. I took the "risk" in good faith and emotional involvement, even though I don't know you in RL.
X.
Wise words.
Johanna Lange powerful post - thanks for sharing this
I think the death with dignity act AKA assisted suicide should be an option FOR ALL. "We are not supposed to go peacefully". That is a broad statement. Many are in SEVERE pain and the quality of life is not worth living when the inevitable will surely occur no matter how much you want to fight it. Many do not want their faces to be unrecognizable as a side effect of the drugs like my gpa had. It can take their dignity and many do not want that to be the last thing people, including their own children to remember them as. Religion is the only disease stopping such progress. We allow our pets to go peacefully but not ourselves. It is a shame. I hope Dan can have the best quality of life that he has left. He is a hell of a guy.
@@Poker-is8dt
Totally agree.
In Switzerland and the Netherland they have already reached this level of dignified civilisation.
Edit:
Maybe I worded it wrongly, the two points I mentioned were Claire's message, I just added my own observation at the end which fits from the "other" side.
We found out my grandma had cancer in 2013, she had stage 4 aggressive bladder cancer. My whole family was heartbroken, we absolutely loved her, she brought us together more than anyone else ever had, she was so positive and loving even in times when we didn’t deserve it. She’s as close to an angel as I could imagine one being, someone incredibly special, and nothing like I’ve ever met to this day. She passed away two months after her diagnosis, it was the worst moment of my life watching her slowly fade away. But when I last talked to her before the cancer took over, she said she had lived her life and done what she needed to do and was ready to go. Cancer also took my uncle two years later, two days after my 19th birthday, I spent my birthday saying my goodbyes to him as I emotionally couldn’t handle watching him fade away too and went home. I know how devastating cancer is, my other uncle just got diagnosed with it as well, again my family is already horribly frightened to lose another wonderful person, I’m so so sorry you are going through this. I want to say god has plans for all of us, even ones that feel like the crappy end of the stick, you have touched so many people’s lives Dan. Watching this has broken my heart as cancer has done to me so many times, in whatever waits for us on the other side, I would like to think it’s a place much better than what we leave behind here, even though it feels like there is not much time left, please know every second counts and that we all love you so much. Sending lots of hugs and love ❤️
I love you Dan. You bring so much joy into the world. You truly help me in ways I don't fully understand. I know without a doubt that I love you, your family, your girlfriend, and your support team. Thank you for sharing your journey with the ups and the downs. Your life is beautiful and I can honestly say I will never forget you. I look forward to seeing your face again and feeling your lovely spirit through the screen. You are beyond amazing.
You have expressed very well what I think everyone has been thinking, I'd only come across his videos a few months ago but I always look forward to what he has to say. I really wish the outcome could have been different but I think he will live on in all of us that follow him. Stay strong dan xoxo
I followed Dan on RUclips when he was fighting so hard to get better. I still watch his videos. Dan, you continue to have an impact on many people even though you are not with us. We will never forget you.

Dearest Dan.....I rarely comment on videos....I have been watching your vlogs and IG since the beginning and I can tell you that I am utterly gutted from your news. Like so many commenters I too feel like I know you and your family. I want to THANK YOU for all your videos and words that you have given us all these many days. You are so LOVED. I will close now as I need to wipe all the tears off my smartphone. Take care...Luv you 💋

I processed it in my mind now, because I was shocked at first. This man right here is a legend, so sad that todays medicine can't do nothing about it..
I know you're well intentioned, but please don't frame cancer as a fight. Because how does that present those who die of cancer?

My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in August 2021. He went through so much pain and so many treatments but he was slowly improving. Unfortunately that changed this August. An uncaught mass damaged his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down which resulted in an invasive surgery that took him off his cancer treatment. Within weeks the cancer spread everywhere in his body. I'm learning how to say goodbye to him in the next couple of weeks. He is only 55 years old and he did not have the best life, but hopefully he can now rest in peace. I am glad I remember Tom's story from years ago, it gives me strength to smile and give my dad a proper goodbye.
Jerry, we’ve all lost family members I’ve lost my mother and father to this. BUT, why are you talking about your situation on a video where a man less than half the age of you or my father has less than weeks to live? It’s narcissistic to the core sir and I pray you delete it.

We all love you and I believe that there is not one of us that aren't hugging you tightly to our hearts, this very minute. You entered our lives and hearts as a brightly shining beacon of hope and, you my dear friend, are someone who will never be forgotten.

Also. I want to make sure I heard you correctly... that they can't AMPUTATE your arm?! The fact that you would have your arm amputated speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. You're such a badass fighter and nobody can EVER say that you didn't try to beat this shit. Seriously, I have so much respect for your passion for life and feel so much contempt for the damn disease of cancer.

You know what struck me the most in this sad video? You Dan @peeweetoms apologizing to US, the simple viewers, that you couldn’t give us better news. 😢. You are such an incredible man Dan! Your family and your amazing girlfriend are SO blessed to have you in their lives. I honestly cannot imagine how terrifying it must be to have receive this news. My own life is nothing special and I spent many years wanting and wishing I was “not here”. Through Therapy and from watching different videos like yours, @sofia and @emilyhayward, I’ve learned how beyond precious every moment of life is that we have been blessed with. The simple things are the most important. Doing the things in life that mean the most to you and spending quality memory time with your loved ones. THAT is what’s important. Not the length of life but the quality of life. You have achieved SO much and I just KNOW that you have SO much more to achieve before you move onto eternal love, peace, pain free “life”. Do what you need to do Dan. 💖 When your voice gets to be too tough, make those “written on paper” vlogs. Or whatever you want and choose to do. Most importantly, do what YOU need and want to do. This is YOUR life and you need to full fill every second of it with pure happiness and love. God Bless you Dan. We all love you more than you can even imagine. Love from Canada 🇨🇦💖 and big hugs to you and your girlfriend.
Very sad..but keep fighting mate..your life/our fight, we're all with you..praying, hoping, wishing, pleading, begging..Your not alone..yeah go have some fun xx

I wish we didn't call cancer a fight or battle, when cancer wins its as if we are saying we didn't fight hard enough..I don't like that.
We are saying sorry to you. YOU are the most outstanding person in the world.. OMG you have given us hope, determination, love. You have shared yourself with the world when you could have been selfish. Dan, I can't to begin to tell you what a huge impact you have made with your video's and love of life and for your family. You are leaving us with so many riches. You are loved but so many people.Know you will not be forgotten ever. Please, don't suffer. It's time you rest and enjoy the time you have. Always know how much your viewers love you. God will bless you a hundred fold. Blessings to your family which includes ginger. Much love.
You’ve already won. You have managed to reach out over the internet using your videos, blogs and photos and touch lives all over the world. You’ve inspired me, who has been so deep in depression for years to start looking at my own existence differently and cherish what I have more than I did before and for that I am eternally grateful. ❤️
Oh Dan, after all you’ve been through you’re still apologizing for having to give US bad news. This speaks volumes about the kind of person that you are and that is why I admire you so. We are all behind you and will always continue to be. Feel all that you can, love as hard as you can and laugh everyday, we will all continue to do the same. You and your family are never far from my thoughts xx
1:34 what a strong guy, there is no way I would be able to keep myself together if I were him reading those words “life expectancy isn’t long”. Fly high dude!
This is the first video of yours that I have had to stop midway through Dan. I have been watching you since I believe March. I have laughed with you, chuckled with you, I have shed some empathy tears here and there but have always watched all the way through because I have been in awe of your strength and perseverance. Today my youtube pal, I have heartache. I pray that you can stick this out and enjoy your life as you have since I have been watching. Reluctantly I will complete watching this one until the end as well however I know I will have a heavy heart. I will continue to pray for you and your family🌼❤
That video literally kicked me right in the feels!! Dan we love you and always will. Fuck you cancer
@Eric Harris have you been watching his vids? It wasn't about the fact that he has terminal cancer. I think it is about his fight and wanting to find alternatives, staying positive and schooling others on the whole process. Not feeling sorry for himself during the process. Takes a special person to do that...in my opinion.
When death smiles at you, all you can do is smile back. Incredible courage.
@@brianking1921
Well if you don't die from anything else, you eventually die from cancer. That'll happen to all of us if we don't die in an accident, to an infection or to other age-related damages.
Fortunately cancer research is well funded.
All you do is kill death instead by stealing its scythe and act like you're going to kill your brother with the scythe but instead stab death with the scythe
Life and death are indeed mysteries. I see and hear the sadness in you with this prognosis. Dear Daniel, be assured you will never be forgotten. You have bravely shared with us all your struggle and sheer willpower to fight against this cruel disease. Please only video what you really want to share. Spend your precious time with those who love you and whom you love in return. May peace be ever with you during your remaining time on Earth and for all eternity.
We are all still here Dan , Thinking of you and how much of an example you are of how to be brave and courageous❤️
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Many people come this way and leave life without leaving any Mark that they were even here. Not for you my friend.! Your legacy and your mark will live on for a long long time. People know and will know that you were here. You made a difference. You touched people. You left your mark. From one Dudley chap to another.....ce ya later me old mate
Dan - Don't concern yourself with uploading content for us. Spend precious moments with those dear to you, and make golden memories. I see you trying to feel up to par, even as this tidal wave of illness is enveloping you. Hoping you can feel the surge of love and support for you from all corners of the world. You will forever be a hero of the highest magnitude. Get some rest, and gather your loved ones close, as you process this phase of your life journey. (As an afterthought, cancer must be the foulest beast in the bowels of the underworld. Wishing fervently for an undefeatable champion that will vanquish this monstrous disease, and put a lid on its coffin.)
Genuinely had tears in my eyes watching this. I know it's no doubt bloody hard right now, you you have to stay positive. You're surrounded by family and friends that love you. You have 125k people wishing you well
I wish you all the Best Dan, keep fighting mate
I actively followed Dan's journey while he was still with us. I still think of him from time to time. Rest in peace.
Never in my life have I commented on a you tube video - this is my first - and it is you who have spurred me to do so. You are an amazing person, with such strength and dignity in the face of unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Your honesty is disarming, your pain is tangible, your humanity is raw. There are really no words that I can offer to provide any of the things I wish to - support, comfort, peace, love but I do want to thank you for the life lessons you have taught and for attempting to make this word a better place. Many people are thinking of you and surrounding you with loving thoughts and virtual hugs. I wish you strength and peace of mind as you face what is to come. Your Love for your family, friends and humanity at large, will never be lost. You have made a difference to this world. XXXXXX
If you write that well with such great thoughts, you sure need to comment more & become part of YT's community.
