As a medical student it was extremely interesting seeing how the professor handled the conversation, the prognosis etc He definitely seems like an excellent doctor
I agree and he was incredibly highly regarded in the medical profession as one of the worlds top oncologists, but also as a very personable and approachable man too. Sadly he died just 7mths after Dan, after an allergic reaction to a yellow fever vaccine... But my friend who works at the Marsden said his work and legacy is being continued - both cancer research & treatment, but also how senior consultants communicate with patients too. RIP Dan and Professor Gore - who probably had no idea how much they taught us about life & death thru...
Nothing shocks me with you anymore. You was looking really poorly a week or so ago but now you have more color, put a bit of weight on and look much better. Hope the surgery can be done under ur arm to help you. Keep proving wrong, stay safe and be strong. ps. cool doc for letting us see that.
I too have found Dan’s videos not too long ago. I’ve watched them all and fell in love with this mans determination to fight to live! How could I have missed this, this breaks my heart. Such a strong, positive and incredible man. He’s left a incredible legacy to us all. I just wish he could of survived this beast of a disease. What an amazing man his parents raised. I feel so sad he is no longer here. My heart ❤️ goes out to his parents, brother, family and his beautiful wife Becca. RIP DANIEL THOMAS you are no longer in pain and at peace!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree. Some doctors I have encountered have a terrible bedside manner. They see being a doctor as just as job and have lost their ability to actually care and be kind. This doctor was amazing.
Oh God me too!!! But this makes me so happy I could cry! I believe in miracles! Dan was given to us to teach us all about perseverance and stubberness (😁) and for all of us to learn about something greater than ourselves!
The fact that you act the same during important consultations as you do in your vlogs is a testament to how genuine you are! You're such an amazingly honest person and I hope you know that whilst you continue to fight at this time of your life. This footage is educational and important for people to have access to. We're all thinking of you; please continue to surprise us all x
He's one of, if not THE most genuine person on RUclips..... we recently lost the only other one that even came close.... that was the beautiful soul of Emily Hayward!
That really put things in perspective. So many people in the grave would trade places with us even for just one minute. Life is so precious even was all the problems. I watched this channel 6 years ago and I will never forget the lessons I leave from him 💔
The Royal Marsden doctors/nurses seem so lovely! From watching yours and Emily’s vlogs, they have always seemed willing to do whatever it takes and are incredibly intelligent ❤️ Hang in there Dan! x
I think it was good news but I couldn't hear the doctor very well. Proving them all wrong! Seems as though you are in good hands in many ways - dr - family - gf- mates - community! Worldwide! Exceed your own forecast! Play Santa to Noah at Christmas. Live. Love. Laugh! Don't give in, don't give up. Amazing. You could make a nonbeliever, a believer. I'm imagining all the smiles right now, and not just cuz your Calvins!
In the early 80s I worked at the Marsden for 4 years as an Oncology Nurse, Martin was a Registrar at the time and he was lovely to patients and staff as with Dan a true loss
You went fast Dan! Just 4 Weeks you had left but at this point you couldn't know. Death is hard to comprehend. At one moment you are here and in the next your are just memory. I am glad you don't have to suffer anymore and I hope this journey we call life has more meaning in the end, than we see now.
@@NoHandleTexas I respectfully disagree. Dan knew the truth of his situation. Even this doctor here is shooting straight with him. That is something Dan appreciated, as he has said so. Dan knew well that his time was very short, in fact, here you see him stating more than once, that it's against all odds that he was still alive at that point! This doctor let's him know that the surgery to remove some of his worst tumors would only be a very temporary solution, as they would rapidly grow right back. Dan understood and says so, but also says that he was willingly to have the surgery in the hope was that it could buy him a few more months. Same as the purposed chemo treatment using the drug Taxol. Trying any and all last ditch efforts to buy a bit more time. Such Massive Respect and Admiration for Dan!!!! AMAZING example of the Best of Humanity!!
Gloria Mary Haywood he was very contradictory in his statements if you listen to him. Besides that, even after he was told cancer was everywhere the next week he still wanted Taxol which hastened his death when he was advised to seek hospice care to manage his pain.
@@NoHandleTexas Yes. I hear what you are saying. What a terrible situation Dan was in. Regarding the Taxol, I feel it's kind of what Dan said about any and all remedies he was trying, from suggestions from his followers, to the different medical opinions. He was willing to try them all because as Dan put it..."He had Nothing to Lose at that point!" Had Dan Not done Taxol would he have lived any longer?...Who Knows?....My opinion is most probably not. His cancer was relentless ..and it had gained full steam thru-out his poor body. (I, myself, am one of the lucky survivors of stage 3 cancer. I underwent 12 rounds of Taxol. My body was able to tolerate it pretty well. But un-like Dan, the worst of my cancer treatment was behind me at that point....with no cancer being detected after 3 aggressive chemotherapy treatments, and then surgery. The Taxol was simply to try and finish wiping-out any microscopic particles that might be undetected.) How I WISH that Dan's cancer story could have had a Different ending.
Gloria Mary Haywood his doctors did it because he wanted it. He wanted it because he "was not ready to die" which was unfortunate because he had cancer in every part of his body while he was trying to buy time. He had not really accepted his fate which is why he was still trying to buy time. Had he gone to the hospice and stayed there when he was told to his quality of life in the final days would have been more bearable.
That was nice of the Prof to let you film. I thought that was really positive at least you are being given some options Dan. The Professor and the Sister seemed really lovely. I hope they can do the surgery soon and relieve you of some of that pain. You really do look a lot better today and seem to have a renewed determination emanating from you!
I worked for a surgeon for years and we had a lady he did surgery on with 4 stage pancreatic CA given tops a month ! Saw her a couple months later still going strong ! She stoped into our office like two years later with a thank u gift to us all and to say good bye bc she was moving to Fl with Cancer in recession ! We were amazed! She said screw CA I wasn't gunna let it get me. God has a plan ! Prayers to you ❤️
Sarah J.R. Yes she did do chemo! Stage four she had and went thru weeks of chemo! My surgeon said no chance but she said every time she had chemo she would meditate and pray and direct the chemo where to go :) She had an amazing attitude ❤️
Cognitive dissonance I find it interesting that you say God has a plan bearing in mind that the reason you have cancer is Gods plan also if you survive its Gods plan if you die slowly and painfully also Gods plan or not?. Its a crap shoot you get cancer sometimes treatable cancers kill and large advanced cancers don't. To think God is in this game is to not understand the game at all nor the nature of God.
This was a rally. And the Dr. was amazing handling it. He knew it was hopeless. But no need to squash out any positivity Dan was feeling. So respectful!
Here you are doing anything, and everything to wake up another day... Here we are with healthy bodies, making excuses to why we can’t work out, or making excuses for why we don’t eat healthy... You really have taught me so much. You are amazing. You have changed EVERYTHING for us!!! You had a purpose in life, and you did it. You’ve spread your message, keep spreading it❣️
These are the exact words I've been looking for. We all have to appreciate life and live it to the fullest. No point in making excuses for anything unless we are going through the same type of stuff as Dan. I'm forever grateful that Dan taught us that.
Happened upon this video today and it has changed my entire perspective in less than 10 min. And a day I needed a reality check. I woke up one day and realized i had no one. But, I woke up… where there's life theres hope?. And yes Dan is my Rock Star and Super Hero!
I am so touched by the doctor and the nurse. I wish that all of medical staff would treat a patient with such dignity, kind words and respect. I know that a lot of them are trying but still...Thank you Dan for filming this.
I find this video to kinda pull the curtains into how he really was dealing with this nightmare. He is putting up a brave fight but what hits me is the desperation. He is almost self diagnosing here encouraging the doc to surgically remove something done earlier. I get his logic, he says it, that removing it before bought him another 5 months, and he goes on about his diet improving himseld inside and that together he can progressively manage...But its the obvious look on the docs face that everyone can see theres no point in surgery. He is trying to say theres no use without saying it. Something a doctor in this department has mastered Im sure. People deal with this diagnosis in different ways and Dan wanted to live and would fight to do so until the end. Others may be more objective and accept their fate. I dont think theres a wrong or right way but its hard to watch a young man so desperate to live, its just heart breaking rewally.
This vid really struck me to the core..I cannot imagine how it must feel to ask how much time do I have left??? Your raw truth is so empowering..your strength is incredible..you seemed so humbled to hear your Drs response..the reality of what your dealing with was very clear in this vid and extremely brave of you to share.. If God were to grant me 1 wish...it would be to spare your life so you may go on to teach others and live a long life!...I pray you get the surgery and prove to us all you can survive This!! Sending you love and prayers from Canada..Btw your looking marvelous!!!! Xo
@breezetix for as long as someone in the world still remembers him. I know I will. But logically, even youtube probably won't exist for our entire lives but he made an impact on people that won't simply disappear.
@@Woudloper Can you really blame him? It’s an individual case of how a person takes these type of horrific news. The human mind sometimes puts a lock on itself, and refuses to face the reality to protect the person’s mind. It’s a coping mechanism. No need to put him down. Even after his death, he’s having haters making nasty comments about him. Unbelievable.
@@roosaas I do understand him. I would be the same. But those are facts, they may sound harsh but reality is often not very pretty. I always loved the saying: 'There are no atheists in foxholes.' And I understand why. I am an atheist, but when facing my own mortality, I hope to be either delusional or drugged out of my mind. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful though, I liked Dan's character a lot.
This interaction between DAN and the doc told me more than anything, he wanted to stay, he never gave up. He did an amazing job keeping everyone around him comfortable despite, pretty amazing person!
Oh this is the best news ever Dan!! You were at death's door a couple of weeks ago. Just praying against all hope you could even get your liver ever functioning again, you had days left...... Now the doctor says it COULD be 9 months!!! Keep kicking cancers butt Dan- you can do it and with every day.. every week that passes new treatments are coming out all the time!!
The doctor in this video, Martin Gore, worked at the Royal Marsden Hospital for over 30 years and was made its medical director in 2006. He died not long after this video, in January 2019 . RIP to both these great men.
I don't even know you and I care for you like a brother, not because you have cancer, but because you have such a strong heart. You're taking such a really shitty situation and turning it into smiles, laughter and positive vibes. I look up to you Daniel and I'm sure thousands of others do too, whether they have cancer or not. Stay strong, i'm sending positive vibes and love your way. Best, -Charley Pangus
Oncology is the sport of Quacks and Sadists. I wouldn't give 2 penny farthings for what an oncologist can quack. My poorly departed fajer had 3 state supplied dieticians and he was on that No#1 potionery of charlatans and carpetbaggers Ensure before old saint nick could give a Whip Crack of his tail. google "otto warburg spark people" for an article that will scientifically get you envolved in the real cure for cancer and real science not hoofery poofery tobacco nonsensical gibber jash
You can hear how desperate he is to live, despite how brave and positive he has been in all of his videos to this point. This broke my heart to see. He wanted more time to spend with his loved ones. Right now, watching this for the first time in the midst of Covid19, it really drives home the point of how precious that time is. Much love to his family from the USA
At first your videos really scared and upset me, but I’ve grown to love you and you’re definitely my favourite RUclipsr. I really believe you’re going to be immortalised because of these videos, and I’ll enjoy watching them for years to come! Stay safe and keep on filming, we enjoy hearing from you day to day!
Dan, I really feel honored that myself, along with many others, get this kind of insight into your world. You really are an amazing and strong person. You continue to show us all what true strength looks like. I hope if I am ever in your position I show even half the fortitude you do. Get well, dammit. F- cancer.
Dan! Your positive energy is just overwhelming! I have worked in hospitals for 4 years now as a security guard. I have seen a LOT during that time. Some VERY sick people who are hugely inspiring. But you are just on a whole other level. You inspire me as well as hundreds of thousands of other people every day! We are all with you in this fight. Push those boundaries as far as they will possibly go and then find ways to push ever further in the fight against this disease! We are all running out of constructive things to say at this point but we are all blown away by how much you continue to beat the odds! We love you Dan, never forget!
You're news today is extremely encouraging!!! You have surpassed all odds. There is an ANGEL on your side. Don't give up and don't ask how long you have . Love you
I’m amazed as well at how different you look in this video. I was honestly sad because I thought you’d leave in a week, or less. Do what you do, blow them all away, encourage the crap out of the medical field as well as all of us! Love and prayers to your family!!!! Proud of you and watching your diet. It really does help!
It makes me so sad to see the optimism in this video knowing how the few weeks after this will go but this is what made Dan special! He never gave up right to the end! We fought and fought hard and that was so inspiring to all of us who watched his journey! We miss you Dan! I'm glad all that cancer is finally gone now and wherever you are out there I hope you are at peace. I'll never forgot you and the moments you shared with the world!
Whaaaat??????? This is incredible news considering the awful circumstances! I really look forward to seeing your Santa hat. 😉 😂 Keep smilin Dan THE man. 😁
@Sam Moss Jesus isnt a fairytale. There is overwheming proof He lived. . The most God awful miserable and hateful people i ever met in my life were people like you. This isnt a channel of hate, loser. Go stick your head back in the sand.
No one has an expiration date stamped on them. Keep defying the odds, Dan! Grab that one extra day, then the next, and the next. I agree with the Doctor and Surgeons about attempting to relieving hopefully, some of your pain, and also give you extra time. You just never know when something could be developed to help or to cure you. I still believe in miracles! Love you!
Watching these videos retrospectively Becca can I say the courage and fortitude of your husband just wow what an example he set also whatever you're doing now if you're reading this I'm thinking of you Keepsafe love and best wishes and God bless x x
You know, the way you looked the other day.. I was kind of expecting the next update to be that you were gone. But today you look so much better. And your energy is just.. otherworldly. It's kinda "therapeutic" in a way to follow you because I lost my own brother to cancer. Keep going!
What a warrior! I'm currently going through radiation and chemotherapy on the head and neck is the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. This is the third time I've had cancer in 10 years, but this treatment has by far been the most difficult and excruciating to deal with. Every time I'm feeling down or want to quit, I find one of these videos and I think to myself what this guy went through and what he would have gone through for a chance to live another day. Makes me feel ashamed of myself and like a coward. It also gives me inspiration. I just can't get over this guy's strength and the way he handles everything with such dignity and courage and class. You were truly one in a million
@@PinkHeart4567 ty! Unfortunately I just found out I have two lymph nodes in my neck that r cancerous still. I'm having surgery next week to remove them. Just so tired of dealing with this crap. Every checkup and scan is bad news
I'm a therapist, I work with cancer patients. Dan, I see people defy the odds ALL THE TIME. Keep at it, keep raging against it. If it needs to be time to call it a done deal at some point, you'll know, but until then...fight it with every ounce.
I watched this video before Dan's passing but came back to watch it again because I just read that Professor Gore passed away suddenly a few days ago. The first time I watched this video, I was struck by how kind he was to allow Dan to film their interaction and I can only imagine what a loss his death was for Royal Marsden Hospital and all who knew him.
Nevada G I don’t know if you followed her, but Emily Hayward I believe had the same doctor here as Dan. I am sure they def feel the loss of this brilliant man.
I have never commented. And I am not sure you will ever read this. But, I am a swede living in your lovely country and I am a big supporter, perhaps not in words, but in heart. Because it would be stupid to say anything else but.. you make me realise how incredibly rare life is, and what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it is! Which should be embraced. This is the first time I have genuinly cried. I don't think many in here can grasp or even comprehend what is going on in that room where you are surrounded by the people that loves you the most in this world, and that you love the most, and at the same time hearing the worst kind of news that no one in this world should ever have to hear, as well as (excuse the expression) having the balls to document it for the outside world. For me. And for the rest of the world. I do hope that you do get to do what you want to do with the people that you love the most, and I do wish the best to your family, girlfriend and friends in this difficult time. I wish there was more I could say, but I can't find any words about how I am feeling. Thank you, for everything that you are. All the best. Marcus.
@Marcus Sundman your comment gave me goosebumps and I'm with you i stay quiet but i have certainly shed some tears for this young man. I wish i had 1 ounce of his courage and strength, he is 1 of the strongest young men i know and he is a inspiration to me and many others! I pray for him every single day and i will never quit believing in miracles because he has been and is a miracle in my opinion. Alot of ppl would have given up but he is a fighter and he is determined to live his life to the fullest and do great things before the good Lord calls him home but i hope and pray that will be a very long time from now! God bless you Dan and God bless you all, sending hugs and good vibes from the east coast of North Carolina! 🤗✌💛🧡💜💚💙💖
From the first moment I watched a video from your channel I was certain that you are a fighter and an inspiration to the people. It's like I have become a family member though we never talked or met. It's just that you are a very authentic person and I feel EVERY situation you are in.. I feel pain even though it's just mentally. It breaks my heart if you are hurting and it makes me smile if you smile or feel good. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are an inspiration!!!
7:17 in all my life that is the scariest question i wish i never have to ask a doctor. My heart was racing as I placed myself in his shoes and felt so helpless. It makes me rethink of life all over again, how busy i have been thinking id never die and not releasing that life is so precious.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE...REALLY!! 💜💜 You've proven that medicine isn't an exact science. I've learned that over the last 30 plus years...thats why they call it "Practicing Medicine". Lol. So you keep surprising the docs and proving them wrong!! If anyone can YOU CAN!! As always you, Becky and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Sending so much love and huge hugs! YOU GOT THIS! 🤗❤🤗❤
This video was wonderful in the way that the Dr. and his team will do the surgery and you are going to prove them wrong ! So many of us here are praying for you Dan along with all the positive thinking and vibs. We love you Dan and we re all about the miracle and the positive outcome that we all wish for you. You are the inspiration , the hero, the educator, the loving, humble and generous person that the world needs ! Much love to you Dan. oxox
oh! sorry to hear that … since English is not my mother tongue (French is) I guess I understood wrong. Nevertheless, he is a hero and a wonderful person and the world needs humans like him. Thanks for the comment, wishing you a good day/night.
Hi Dan, mum, dad and Becky. What an interesting oncology meeting and very informative. What a calm, nice oncologist you were dealing with. Can't get over, really, really mean it that you bravely ask how long you may have left to live! Can't say it enough times - one of the bravest people I have come across. The reason you have got this far is because of your positive desire to live and the mind is stronger than the body which you are proving. Glad that you are having another op. I know you were pushing for it in a nice way. You're doing everything 100% right by staying positive through your mindset and eating the right foods. One incredible, lovely, unselfish human being. That's got to be your legacy and also your legacy will be to help others in the same position as yourself for years and years to come. Said it before and will say it again. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Love n hugs and sending positive vibes of healing . xxx
This is somewhat encouraging in that they haven't given up. They are still working out all the things they can do to extend your life farther than thought possible. A small bright light of hope. Keep kicking ass! xoxox
I believe you're going to turn out to be a MIRACLE...everyone is praying and sending their thoughts and support to you. Time to prove the world wrong and show that miracles can happen and absolutely EVERYTHING is possible. No one can tell you that you cannot recover from this...No one! Believe that you can beat this..Believe that this will eventually go away. You're extremely special...and I believe you will go down as a medical miracle.
Yeah, itll be interesting to see where your so called god is when he inevitabely passes away. Dont get me wrong, I love Dan and everything hes doing on the channel and its extremely sad that he will pass away, but Im sorry to say that he has said multiple times the cancer is terminal and it wont be cured, if the highest medical technology we have available cant cure him, then no amount of holding your hands together and talking to yourself is going to cure him either.
albi- The ones believing that this is going to magically go away is very sad. It seems no one is listening to the one living it. Even his top Doc today said months. Hes just trying to get more time.
Praying for you brother! Stay strong! And honestly man I know I dont personally know you but it hurts me really bad to see you like this.. today was actually some good news though which I am happy about hopefully when they perform surgery they find that the masses can be dealt with and we can get you a path to full recovery.. you have a lot of ppl that love you man just know that. And you truly are an inspiration to EVERYONE!
Dan love a honest Doctor . My sisters doctor was honest but my sister was in denial until the end. You continue Dan to Live . Thank you for sharing this inmate moment in your life. Nice Calvin Kline's undies and NASA shirt.
I can’t imagine having to ask what you’re own life expectancy is - you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sending positive thoughts x
I had almost no chance that the imunotherapies would so much to my Melanoma tumors. I was told that they might at best, slow it down a little bit. Thank God, it did actually shrink my tumors and even kept it from growing out of control for a year!!!! Unfortunatly, I have many new tumors and they stopped all my immunotheripy treatments. But I am still here. I had tumrs all over, even growing into my heart, fluid around my heart and in both my lungs, blood clots and much more. But I tried something that had little chance to help. And it did. I will pray the same will happen for you Dan. Its just got too!!!
try flor-essence gentle detox tea it worked for my tumor. i used it along with organic juicing twice a week curcumin/turmeric, bragg organic apple cider vinegar and organic milk thistle
Hi Dan, I think you are hopefully sleeping well right now. I clicked on this as soon as I saw your IG story. Yes darling we are amazed you are still with us, no point in not being real about it. I really hope they can do the surgery if for no other reason than to debulk the tumors and bring you some pain relief. If they think chemo could help, I know you’ll try that too, I just worry about it weakening you or bringing back more sickness. You are such a warrior and I enjoyed seeing the Doctor and nurse express their surprise at how well you are doing despite how sick you are. As always I’m sending much love, respect and prayers for you dear Dan. Stay positive and please stay with us for as long as you can. I am not ready to say goodbye 😭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗 Danielle from CA, USA
Dan, I love the fact that you keep pushing and doing whatever you can do. My aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that went into her bones. That was 3 years ago! The doctors say it’s now contained. Before it was growing rapidly. She’s doing great! Just do what you can do. Live your life. All my Love to you. Don’t give up! Love from Seattle😊💕
That is good news for a change. I am so happy for you. I've followed you for months now and feel every up and down with you. BTW, my surgeon told me last week that the cancer I had was undetectable from the last test results. I'm hoping and praying for you to improve beyond what you could ever imagine. Hang in there Dan!
WOW WOW WOW what an experience you have shared with us. never in my life did I think I would be in a room while such a discussion is taking place. Dan you are incredible and help shine a new a positive light on a scary ordeal. I am in debt to you sir. Much love big man.
When I see that doctors like this have passed...how much knowledge and expertise goes with them. As someone that’s been in the hospital as well as my gf the last two years a few times, health care and doctors are not what they used to be
Dan, you look and sound amazing! The shortness of breath has really subsided now. Dr Gore is lovely, you can tell that he genuinely cares about you ❤️ Keep fighting the good fight and prove the doctors wrong!
I come accross your chanel a few weeks ago and didn't know really what to comment but i do have something to say from the bottom of my heart and soul.. I'm so proud of you and you're such an inspirational character.. when I say character I don't mean person behind a camera or a character in general I'm talking unique personality that's built with strength and motivation that's just literally shielded by solid iron or steel.. it's like nothing phases you.. you're so strong you don't let anything pass to damage you or your loved ones.. I wish you the best along this journey we call life that some of us take for granted.. whether selfishly or confidently open to everything and everyone. You really need to take a look in the mirror mate and claim your credit to your soul for being unique.. inspirational.. aswell as caring loving and so friendly.. kind hearted in general and a happy young man.. whether you win this fight against a horrible demon we lose loves ones by or not please just remind yourself we will never forget you or discard you from our memory. Stay strong! Stay positive and stay proud. We are all behind you and with you Dan!
Dan I have so much negativity going on right now in my life and I keep coming back to your videos for strength and to remind me I can get through it. You did and will forever touch us all 💜 you
First let me say, whoever hit the "thumbs down" on this, I'm hoping you did so b/c of the "cancer content" and not b/c u don't support our friend, Dan. In case anyone doesn't know, the "thumbs up" is for Dan and to support his channel. Sorry, I just had to clear that up. 😉. Dan is one hella fighter and has become family to over 100,000 RUclips followers. That being said, Dan, hang in there, you are such an inspiration to everyone and we are all here for you. Keep proving those docs wrong. ❤️🙏
@@evilubuntu9001 , you're not dumb! I used to do the same thing, lol, but then someone let me Kno that even though I hate the actual cancer content, that I should still give a thumbs up b/c it helps their channel. No worries, have a great day friend.
I almost teared up when you showed all the tumors on your side. That looks so awful and painful. Bless your heart man. I've been following you for awhile and you are so inspiring. Your attitude makes me feel like I can get through anything. I wish you all the best and hope your pain goes away. You got this. You are so amazing. Much love ❤
Oh god, that's just awful. From what I'm reading, he was so respected. Little did we know when we first watched this video that Dan would be gone 4 weeks later and Professor Gore 4 months later. Truly haunting.
@@playlistaccount Professor Gore was not ill at this point. He got a vaccination against yellow fever and died very shortly after. It was a sudden death, so not terminal at this point in time.
I'm a medical student and I watch your vids all the time, your vids made me want to go into oncology. I really want to be able to help people like you, because this is horrible. I admire your spirit and wish you luck. you've exceeded expectations and hopefully you still will and surprise everyone.
you think this is horrible so you want to become an oncologist so you can expose sick people to the most horrible way to die??? hehehe pure evil i like your style
So you're 17 ( I presume) and are in med school already.. Lucky boy. Tried to get in once when i graduated in 2017, and have to try again this year. Its so hard getting into med school here in europe
Keep going strong my dear young brave friend! You are incredible and you have such lovely people caring for you! We all love you, so keep us updated! Ta Ta! -your Grandma Fan in Atlanta
You are such an inspiration. Ive followed a few of your videos and keep watching hoping for a miracle. Keep fighting and eating well and ill keep checking in.
I watched Emily Hayward and her positivity and outlook on life was so awesome for what she went through and found your YT channel and again amazed at your positive look at everything with what you are going through. It’s so sad to see such awesome people like you leaving everyone way before your time. You keep staying positive and squeak out as much of life as you can. You are an angel.
Thank you for sharing this very private meeting with your Doctor. You are so brave and your humor through this is wonderful. I feel like we are all on this journey and I can't click your updates fast enough. Here till the end Dan lots of love xxxx
I'm watching some of these videos again because I genuinely miss him. Watching this one just makes my jaw drop. The doctor tells him 4-9 months and he's so calm and dignified and he was always so full of hope. *Truly* an inspiration.
As a medical student it was extremely interesting seeing how the professor handled the conversation, the prognosis etc
He definitely seems like an excellent doctor
Hugo Hugo do you want to be an oncologist 🤔
I agree very professional and empathetic.
I thought the same thing. I’m a medical student as well as I was surprised by how personal he was with the patient.
I agree and he was incredibly highly regarded in the medical profession as one of the worlds top oncologists, but also as a very personable and approachable man too. Sadly he died just 7mths after Dan, after an allergic reaction to a yellow fever vaccine... But my friend who works at the Marsden said his work and legacy is being continued - both cancer research & treatment, but also how senior consultants communicate with patients too. RIP Dan and Professor Gore - who probably had no idea how much they taught us about life & death thru...
Nothing shocks me with you anymore. You was looking really poorly a week or so ago but now you have more color, put a bit of weight on and look much better. Hope the surgery can be done under ur arm to help you. Keep proving wrong, stay safe and be strong.
ps. cool doc for letting us see that.
Great news. Not moving forward, pushing. Hope eternal. 💝 xxxxxx
You are such an inspiration and so brave. Keep fighting Dan. You look so good. Sending strong prayers with love to our hero💙💙💙💙💙
So nice of the doctor to let you film but that's because everyone loves you.💙💙💙💙💙
gypsycatcha79 I hate being a downer but he had a blood transfusion and that has brought color back. Even a top doc said it's months. 😕
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 When he's come as close as he has to dying already? Months are nothing to sneeze at.
I only found Dan's channel a week ago, but have now watched most of his videos. What an incredibly inspiring and decent human being.
Literally found his channel last night, it's so heartbreaking. Such an inspiration.
I found it today and have been watching all of them
@@monzaboo2011 Its so sad but his personality shines through and his strength is phenomenal right to the end, bless him.
It really does pain your heart even though I only watched a few videos of his.
I too have found Dan’s videos not too long ago. I’ve watched them all and fell in love with this mans determination to fight to live! How could I have missed this, this breaks my heart. Such a strong, positive and incredible man. He’s left a incredible legacy to us all. I just wish he could of survived this beast of a disease. What an amazing man his parents raised. I feel so sad he is no longer here. My heart ❤️ goes out to his parents, brother, family and his beautiful wife Becca. RIP DANIEL THOMAS you are no longer in pain and at peace!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dan of Marsden, destroyer of lumps, Slayer of expectations.
Long live the King!
Holy Creep Sauce Hail Dan the Slayer 👌🏻😀❤️
But does he drink and know things? That is the question! What a fighter! This cat has 9 lives and thensome!
@@dawnworth9392 I have a shirt that confirms that I am the one who drinks and knows things. I think Dan is actually the God of tits and wine.
Wow, thank you for the information. Quite upsetting to watch, but fair play to you Dan, in highlighting your journey. You are priceless 😘
The dr was so amazing. So kind and such great bedside manner. ❤️
Susan Forman few & far between. He's blessed to have him on this horrible yet profound & beautiful journey.
I agree. Some doctors I have encountered have a terrible bedside manner. They see being a doctor as just as job and have lost their ability to actually care and be kind. This doctor was amazing.
RIP Dan, you fought your ass off until the end. Massive respect for you and your family.
❤️❤️ checking your channel several times a day for updates. Keeping you in my prayers
Oh God me too!!! But this makes me so happy I could cry! I believe in miracles! Dan was given to us to teach us all about perseverance and stubberness (😁) and for all of us to learn about something greater than ourselves!
I turned on notifications just for this 😃
That's why there's a bell icon, you should get notice as soon as he post the video
Robin Sullivan i do. But I also check for his posts as well. It’s become a habit.
oovoo javer same here. It just really is heart wrenching 😔
The fact that you act the same during important consultations as you do in your vlogs is a testament to how genuine you are! You're such an amazingly honest person and I hope you know that whilst you continue to fight at this time of your life. This footage is educational and important for people to have access to. We're all thinking of you; please continue to surprise us all x
He's one of, if not THE most genuine person on RUclips..... we recently lost the only other one that even came close.... that was the beautiful soul of Emily Hayward!
@@heathermiller76 Yes I followed her too 😪
This man would have given anything for just another six months to live. Think about that today when we all complain about our problems.
Absolutely!
Yup. Life is fragile
That really put things in perspective. So many people in the grave would trade places with us even for just one minute. Life is so precious even was all the problems. I watched this channel 6 years ago and I will never forget the lessons I leave from him 💔
The Royal Marsden doctors/nurses seem so lovely! From watching yours and Emily’s vlogs, they have always seemed willing to do whatever it takes and are incredibly intelligent ❤️
Hang in there Dan! x
Rachel they honestly are amazing, i had cancer and they treat you so well!
Rachel The staff is great but I could never work there. I would be crying all the time.
I think it was good news but I couldn't hear the doctor very well. Proving them all wrong! Seems as though you are in good hands in many ways - dr - family - gf- mates - community! Worldwide! Exceed your own forecast! Play Santa to Noah at Christmas. Live. Love. Laugh! Don't give in, don't give up. Amazing. You could make a nonbeliever, a believer. I'm imagining all the smiles right now, and not just cuz your Calvins!
They are Lovely Simply Lovely my dear and so are you
Rachel they really are. They saved my dads life twice. They are so amazing they don’t get enough credit
Your oncologist seems a very kind and lovely person :)
You are dumb on so many levels.
maciej wrotek Oh look another internet health professional, are you a professional psychologist too?
Dead now
In the early 80s I worked at the Marsden for 4 years as an Oncology Nurse, Martin was a Registrar at the time and he was lovely to patients and staff as with Dan a true loss
@maciej wrotek I'm sorry but that's stupid.
You went fast Dan! Just 4 Weeks you had left but at this point you couldn't know. Death is hard to comprehend. At one moment you are here and in the next your are just memory. I am glad you don't have to suffer anymore and I hope this journey we call life has more meaning in the end, than we see now.
Simon Wackerle his doctor knew but Dan didn't want the truth so they lied to him.
@@NoHandleTexas I respectfully disagree. Dan knew the truth of his situation. Even this doctor here is shooting straight with him. That is something Dan appreciated, as he has said so. Dan knew well that his time was very short, in fact, here you see him stating more than once, that it's against all odds that he was still alive at that point! This doctor let's him know that the surgery to remove some of his worst tumors would only be a very temporary solution, as they would rapidly grow right back. Dan understood and says so, but also says that he was willingly to have the surgery in the hope was that it could buy him a few more months. Same as the purposed chemo treatment using the drug Taxol. Trying any and all last ditch efforts to buy a bit more time. Such Massive Respect and Admiration for Dan!!!! AMAZING example of the Best of Humanity!!
Gloria Mary Haywood he was very contradictory in his statements if you listen to him. Besides that, even after he was told cancer was everywhere the next week he still wanted Taxol which hastened his death when he was advised to seek hospice care to manage his pain.
@@NoHandleTexas Yes. I hear what you are saying. What a terrible situation Dan was in. Regarding the Taxol, I feel it's kind of what Dan said about any and all remedies he was trying, from suggestions from his followers, to the different medical opinions. He was willing to try them all because as Dan put it..."He had Nothing to Lose at that point!" Had Dan Not done Taxol would he have lived any longer?...Who Knows?....My opinion is most probably not. His cancer was relentless ..and it had gained full steam thru-out his poor body.
(I, myself, am one of the lucky survivors of stage 3 cancer. I underwent 12 rounds of Taxol. My body was able to tolerate it pretty well. But un-like Dan, the worst of my cancer treatment was behind me at that point....with no cancer being detected after 3 aggressive chemotherapy treatments, and then surgery. The Taxol was simply to try and finish wiping-out any microscopic particles that might be undetected.)
How I WISH that Dan's cancer story could have had a Different ending.
Gloria Mary Haywood his doctors did it because he wanted it. He wanted it because he "was not ready to die" which was unfortunate because he had cancer in every part of his body while he was trying to buy time. He had not really accepted his fate which is why he was still trying to buy time. Had he gone to the hospice and stayed there when he was told to his quality of life in the final days would have been more bearable.
That was nice of the Prof to let you film. I thought that was really positive at least you are being given some options Dan. The Professor and the Sister seemed really lovely. I hope they can do the surgery soon and relieve you of some of that pain. You really do look a lot better today and seem to have a renewed determination emanating from you!
I worked for a surgeon for years and we had a lady he did surgery on with 4 stage pancreatic CA given tops a month ! Saw her a couple months later still going strong ! She stoped into our office like two years later with a thank u gift to us all and to say good bye bc she was moving to Fl with Cancer in recession ! We were amazed! She said screw CA I wasn't gunna let it get me. God has a plan ! Prayers to you ❤️
Cancer goes into remission. The economy goes into...*sigh* 🤨I really hope they didn't let you handle any sharp surgical instruments! 🤗
I know it was remission omg beautiful true story and a damn auto correct 😁 God! Lol We could go in a recession couldn't we ! Lol Prayers
Take Control Central Beauty Styling wow did she do chemo?
Sarah J.R. Yes she did do chemo! Stage four she had and went thru weeks of chemo! My surgeon said no chance but she said every time she had chemo she would meditate and pray and direct the chemo where to go :) She had an amazing attitude ❤️
Cognitive dissonance I find it interesting that you say God has a plan bearing in mind that the reason you have cancer is Gods plan also if you survive its Gods plan if you die slowly and painfully also Gods plan or not?. Its a crap shoot you get cancer sometimes treatable cancers kill and large advanced cancers don't. To think God is in this game is to not understand the game at all nor the nature of God.
This was a rally. And the Dr. was amazing handling it. He knew it was hopeless. But no need to squash out any positivity Dan was feeling. So respectful!
Here you are doing anything, and everything to wake up another day... Here we are with healthy bodies, making excuses to why we can’t work out, or making excuses for why we don’t eat healthy...
You really have taught me so much. You are amazing. You have changed EVERYTHING for us!!!
You had a purpose in life, and you did it. You’ve spread your message, keep spreading it❣️
These are the exact words I've been looking for. We all have to appreciate life and live it to the fullest. No point in making excuses for anything unless we are going through the same type of stuff as Dan. I'm forever grateful that Dan taught us that.
Thank you your so right 🙏
Very true
Happened upon this video today and it has changed my entire perspective in less than 10 min.
And a day I needed a reality check.
I woke up one day and realized i had no one. But, I woke up…
where there's life theres hope?.
And yes Dan is my Rock Star and Super Hero!
I am so touched by the doctor and the nurse. I wish that all of medical staff would treat a patient with such dignity, kind words and respect. I know that a lot of them are trying but still...Thank you Dan for filming this.
I find this video to kinda pull the curtains into how he really was dealing with this nightmare.
He is putting up a brave fight but what hits me is the desperation. He is almost self diagnosing here encouraging the doc to surgically remove something done earlier. I get his logic, he says it, that removing it before bought him another 5 months, and he goes on about his diet improving himseld inside and that together he can progressively manage...But its the obvious look on the docs face that everyone can see theres no point in surgery. He is trying to say theres no use without saying it. Something a doctor in this department has mastered Im sure.
People deal with this diagnosis in different ways and Dan wanted to live and would fight to do so until the end. Others may be more objective and accept their fate. I dont think theres a wrong or right way but its hard to watch a young man so desperate to live, its just heart breaking rewally.
Yes Dan. Keep proving them wrong! Totally and 100% rooting for you x
This vid really struck me to the core..I cannot imagine how it must feel to ask how much time do I have left???
Your raw truth is so empowering..your strength is incredible..you seemed so humbled to hear your Drs response..the reality of what your dealing with was very clear in this vid and extremely brave of you to share.. If God were to grant me 1 wish...it would be to spare your life so you may go on to teach others and live a long life!...I pray you get the surgery and prove to us all you can survive This!! Sending you love and prayers from Canada..Btw your looking marvelous!!!! Xo
Designer Digs yvonne I literally thought the same thing but you worded it perfectly.
Yes, this was the first footage that has made me cry.....well said though DDY xx
Your videos will make sure ur memory will live forever
@breezetix for as long as someone in the world still remembers him. I know I will.
But logically, even youtube probably won't exist for our entire lives but he made an impact on people that won't simply disappear.
Yes its Lisa under my husbands name.What a inspiration,,a wonder man.Miss him😔❤️❤️
A warrior. A fighter who never gives up. A hero. My hero, Dan Thomas.
@@Woudloper Can you really blame him? It’s an individual case of how a person takes these type of horrific news. The human mind sometimes puts a lock on itself, and refuses to face the reality to protect the person’s mind. It’s a coping mechanism. No need to put him down. Even after his death, he’s having haters making nasty comments about him. Unbelievable.
@@roosaas I do understand him. I would be the same. But those are facts, they may sound harsh but reality is often not very pretty. I always loved the saying: 'There are no atheists in foxholes.' And I understand why. I am an atheist, but when facing my own mortality, I hope to be either delusional or drugged out of my mind. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful though, I liked Dan's character a lot.
@@Woudloper He was well aware of the facts. Why should he not hope?
Such a mentally strong person to even be able to handle this so well, I'm amazed. Good luck dude!
This interaction between DAN and the doc told me more than anything, he wanted to stay, he never gave up.
He did an amazing job keeping everyone around him comfortable despite, pretty amazing person!
Oh this is the best news ever Dan!! You were at death's door a couple of weeks ago. Just praying against all hope you could even get your liver ever functioning again, you had days left...... Now the doctor says it COULD be 9 months!!! Keep kicking cancers butt Dan- you can do it and with every day.. every week that passes new treatments are coming out all the time!!
😭😭😭
They told me heroes do not exist, but you are my superhero Dan💙💙💙
The doctor in this video, Martin Gore, worked at the Royal Marsden Hospital for over 30 years and was made its medical director in 2006. He died not long after this video, in January 2019
. RIP to both these great men.
So sad for such an amazing man in Martin gore to die. It was from a yellow fever inoculation.
@Joseph Marzullo what does that mean ?
@@janewilliams4462 I believe his body had an adverse reaction to a yellow fever vaccine, which ended up killing him
@@janewilliams4462 he died due to a yellow fever vaccination.
"died after a one in 100,000 reaction to a yellow fever jab"
I don't even know you and I care for you like a brother, not because you have cancer, but because you have such a strong heart. You're taking such a really shitty situation and turning it into smiles, laughter and positive vibes. I look up to you Daniel and I'm sure thousands of others do too, whether they have cancer or not. Stay strong, i'm sending positive vibes and love your way.
Best,
-Charley Pangus
Charley Pangus I couldn’t say it any better myself. I feel exactly the same.
Heather Penza ❤️
It hurts to hear him say 4,6,9 months when in reality it's 3 and half short weeks. You were a fight boy.
Sucks that he’s dead I just found this channel and I’m still sad 😢
Tell the doctor we thank him for being a part of the vlog. It’s comforting to see first hand that you are in good hands. Love and hugs to you Dan.
Yes please do thank the doctor Dan
If i get cancer again i want some one whos had 19.6 hours of nutrition education spread over 4 years of medical school to treat me
Where I live we have cancer agencies where care multidisciplinary including oncology dietitian care.
Oncology is the sport of Quacks and Sadists. I wouldn't give 2 penny farthings for what an oncologist can quack. My poorly departed fajer had 3 state supplied dieticians and he was on that No#1 potionery of charlatans and carpetbaggers Ensure before old saint nick could give a Whip Crack of his tail. google "otto warburg spark people" for an article that will scientifically get you envolved in the real cure for cancer and real science not hoofery poofery tobacco nonsensical gibber jash
Unfortunately this doctor had a allergic reaction to a yellow fever jab and died
You can hear how desperate he is to live, despite how brave and positive he has been in all of his videos to this point. This broke my heart to see. He wanted more time to spend with his loved ones.
Right now, watching this for the first time in the midst of Covid19, it really drives home the point of how precious that time is. Much love to his family from the USA
At first your videos really scared and upset me, but I’ve grown to love you and you’re definitely my favourite RUclipsr. I really believe you’re going to be immortalised because of these videos, and I’ll enjoy watching them for years to come! Stay safe and keep on filming, we enjoy hearing from you day to day!
Dan, I really feel honored that myself, along with many others, get this kind of insight into your world. You really are an amazing and strong person. You continue to show us all what true strength looks like. I hope if I am ever in your position I show even half the fortitude you do. Get well, dammit. F- cancer.
The professor was amazing. Such a gentle, genuine, caring man ❤️
Is this the same guy from Emily Hayward videos?
@@katarzynapracuch5050 yes it is
He also passed away
Sorry to hear the professor passed . What a amazing doctor. None of us know when it's our time to go. Love each day to the fullest
Dan! Your positive energy is just overwhelming! I have worked in hospitals for 4 years now as a security guard. I have seen a LOT during that time. Some VERY sick people who are hugely inspiring. But you are just on a whole other level. You inspire me as well as hundreds of thousands of other people every day! We are all with you in this fight. Push those boundaries as far as they will possibly go and then find ways to push ever further in the fight against this disease! We are all running out of constructive things to say at this point but we are all blown away by how much you continue to beat the odds! We love you Dan, never forget!
You're news today is extremely encouraging!!! You have surpassed all odds. There is an ANGEL on your side. Don't give up and don't ask how long you have .
Love you
Marilyn Valinsky I know, I thought the same, although I too would ask how long it’s just human nature I guess x
Terrible news about Professor Gore's death today. Such a lovely man as well as a leader in his field.
That's sad. What happened?
You are so strong! And what a lovely doctor :) xx
Hes a Delight
I’m amazed as well at how different you look in this video. I was honestly sad because I thought you’d leave in a week, or less. Do what you do, blow them all away, encourage the crap out of the medical field as well as all of us! Love and prayers to your family!!!! Proud of you and watching your diet. It really does help!
It makes me so sad to see the optimism in this video knowing how the few weeks after this will go but this is what made Dan special! He never gave up right to the end! We fought and fought hard and that was so inspiring to all of us who watched his journey! We miss you Dan! I'm glad all that cancer is finally gone now and wherever you are out there I hope you are at peace. I'll never forgot you and the moments you shared with the world!
This video makes me cry too,Dan was so full of life & spirit & died 30 days from making this video,Im still Crying to this Very Day
He's nowhere. He's been cremated and his ashes shattered. People who believe in an afterlife should be fucking committed
Your a warrior. Praying for you.
Whaaaat??????? This is incredible news considering the awful circumstances! I really look forward to seeing your Santa hat. 😉 😂 Keep smilin Dan THE man. 😁
My thoughts exactly, I was thinking we have a chance to see Daniel celebrate next Christmas 😊
66
We should start a hashtag #danseessanta
RIP Professor Martin Gore
So many years gone now ..and very good person he is..there are so many health problems in this world
Hope you will experience miracle! God bless you
Dude no one has ever survived terminal high grade cancer. No such thing as a miracle in medicine.
Grzegorz Bialasz ...I believe in the miracle..that God will touch and heal you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.🙂🤗😋😁
@@MyVidzy not in medicine, but miracles happen with prayer and God
@Sam Moss Jesus isnt a fairytale. There is overwheming proof He lived. . The most God awful miserable and hateful people i ever met in my life were people like you. This isnt a channel of hate, loser. Go stick your head back in the sand.
;)
No one has an expiration date stamped on them. Keep defying the odds, Dan! Grab that one extra day, then the next, and the next. I agree with the Doctor and Surgeons about attempting to relieving hopefully, some of your pain, and also give you extra time. You just never know when something could be developed to help or to cure you. I still believe in miracles! Love you!
Watching these videos retrospectively Becca can I say the courage and fortitude of your husband just wow what an example he set also whatever you're doing now if you're reading this I'm thinking of you Keepsafe love and best wishes and God bless x x
Dan, that was a super positive vlog...fight, fight, fight Danno!!! I just know there is a miracle happening here!!!!!
Robert Kline 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 somehow someway!!!
You know, the way you looked the other day.. I was kind of expecting the next update to be that you were gone. But today you look so much better. And your energy is just.. otherworldly. It's kinda "therapeutic" in a way to follow you because I lost my own brother to cancer.
Keep going!
so sorry for your loss ...
thank you.. =)
yea? and? What's your point?
maybe hes sold his soul and is now a husk pojessed by demons? it is possible his miraculous turn around is the result of sorcery
also sorry for your loss and look up "spark people otto warburg" my sister wrote the article
What a warrior! I'm currently going through radiation and chemotherapy on the head and neck is the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. This is the third time I've had cancer in 10 years, but this treatment has by far been the most difficult and excruciating to deal with. Every time I'm feeling down or want to quit, I find one of these videos and I think to myself what this guy went through and what he would have gone through for a chance to live another day. Makes me feel ashamed of myself and like a coward. It also gives me inspiration. I just can't get over this guy's strength and the way he handles everything with such dignity and courage and class. You were truly one in a million
Yo, any updates on your situation?
Get well soon...KEEP FIGHTING
@@PinkHeart4567 ty! Unfortunately I just found out I have two lymph nodes in my neck that r cancerous still. I'm having surgery next week to remove them. Just so tired of dealing with this crap. Every checkup and scan is bad news
Words just can't say enough.....you humble me and inspire me xx
I'm a therapist, I work with cancer patients. Dan, I see people defy the odds ALL THE TIME. Keep at it, keep raging against it. If it needs to be time to call it a done deal at some point, you'll know, but until then...fight it with every ounce.
Yes, I agree with this.
I could not have said it better....👍
Nice comment 💗
God bless you!!
What a beautiful comment!
Very well said! Dan...we are ALL pulling for you!
I watched this video before Dan's passing but came back to watch it again because I just read that Professor Gore passed away suddenly a few days ago. The first time I watched this video, I was struck by how kind he was to allow Dan to film their interaction and I can only imagine what a loss his death was for Royal Marsden Hospital and all who knew him.
Nevada G I don’t know if you followed her, but Emily Hayward I believe had the same doctor here as Dan. I am sure they def feel the loss of this brilliant man.
hard to belive both people in that room wouldn't live more than 6 months
That's a perfect example of understanding that we are ALL dying. And relatively soon. We need to think about this every day.
I have never commented. And I am not sure you will ever read this. But, I am a swede living in your lovely country and I am a big supporter, perhaps not in words, but in heart. Because it would be stupid to say anything else but.. you make me realise how incredibly rare life is, and what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it is! Which should be embraced.
This is the first time I have genuinly cried. I don't think many in here can grasp or even comprehend what is going on in that room where you are surrounded by the people that loves you the most in this world, and that you love the most, and at the same time hearing the worst kind of news that no one in this world should ever have to hear, as well as (excuse the expression) having the balls to document it for the outside world. For me. And for the rest of the world.
I do hope that you do get to do what you want to do with the people that you love the most, and I do wish the best to your family, girlfriend and friends in this difficult time.
I wish there was more I could say, but I can't find any words about how I am feeling.
Thank you, for everything that you are.
All the best. Marcus.
Vill inte sabba kvaliteten på din kommentar, men det du säger är sååå sant.
@Marcus Sundman your comment gave me goosebumps and I'm with you i stay quiet but i have certainly shed some tears for this young man. I wish i had 1 ounce of his courage and strength, he is 1 of the strongest young men i know and he is a inspiration to me and many others! I pray for him every single day and i will never quit believing in miracles because he has been and is a miracle in my opinion. Alot of ppl would have given up but he is a fighter and he is determined to live his life to the fullest and do great things before the good Lord calls him home but i hope and pray that will be a very long time from now! God bless you Dan and God bless you all, sending hugs and good vibes from the east coast of North Carolina! 🤗✌💛🧡💜💚💙💖
Heart-felt comment Marcus - thank you! Touched me just to read it.
PeeWee Toms doesn't care about Swedes
Det är så hemskt. :(
From the first moment I watched a video from your channel I was certain that you are a fighter and an inspiration to the people. It's like I have become a family member though we never talked or met. It's just that you are a very authentic person and I feel EVERY situation you are in.. I feel pain even though it's just mentally. It breaks my heart if you are hurting and it makes me smile if you smile or feel good. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are an inspiration!!!
7:17 in all my life that is the scariest question i wish i never have to ask a doctor. My heart was racing as I placed myself in his shoes and felt so helpless. It makes me rethink of life all over again, how busy i have been thinking id never die and not releasing that life is so precious.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE...REALLY!! 💜💜 You've proven that medicine isn't an exact science. I've learned that over the last 30 plus years...thats why they call it "Practicing Medicine". Lol. So you keep surprising the docs and proving them wrong!! If anyone can YOU CAN!! As always you, Becky and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Sending so much love and huge hugs! YOU GOT THIS! 🤗❤🤗❤
This video was wonderful in the way that the Dr. and his team will do the surgery and you are going to prove them wrong ! So many of us here are praying for you Dan along with all the positive thinking and vibs. We love you Dan and we re all about the miracle and the positive outcome that we all wish for you. You are the inspiration , the hero, the educator, the loving, humble and generous person that the world needs ! Much love to you Dan. oxox
Rosalind Hambleton Rosalind there is no guarantee they will even perform the surgery, they may decide it is too dangerous and not worth the risk
oh! sorry to hear that … since English is not my mother tongue (French is) I guess I understood wrong. Nevertheless, he is a hero and a wonderful person and the world needs humans like him. Thanks for the comment, wishing you a good day/night.
Hi Dan, mum, dad and Becky. What an interesting oncology meeting and very informative. What a calm, nice oncologist you were dealing with. Can't get over, really, really mean it that you bravely ask how long you may have left to live! Can't say it enough times - one of the bravest people I have come across. The reason you have got this far is because of your positive desire to live and the mind is stronger than the body which you are proving. Glad that you are having another op. I know you were pushing for it in a nice way. You're doing everything 100% right by staying positive through your mindset and eating the right foods. One incredible, lovely, unselfish human being. That's got to be your legacy and also your legacy will be to help others in the same position as yourself for years and years to come. Said it before and will say it again. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Love n hugs and sending positive vibes of healing . xxx
This is somewhat encouraging in that they haven't given up. They are still working out all the things they can do to extend your life farther than thought possible. A small bright light of hope. Keep kicking ass! xoxox
I believe you're going to turn out to be a MIRACLE...everyone is praying and sending their thoughts and support to you. Time to prove the world wrong and show that miracles can happen and absolutely EVERYTHING is possible. No one can tell you that you cannot recover from this...No one! Believe that you can beat this..Believe that this will eventually go away. You're extremely special...and I believe you will go down as a medical miracle.
Yeah, itll be interesting to see where your so called god is when he inevitabely passes away.
Dont get me wrong, I love Dan and everything hes doing on the channel and its extremely sad that he will pass away, but Im sorry to say that he has said multiple times the cancer is terminal and it wont be cured, if the highest medical technology we have available cant cure him, then no amount of holding your hands together and talking to yourself is going to cure him either.
Yes let's believe in the supernatural power of God.Amen
albi- The ones believing that this is going to magically go away is very sad. It seems no one is listening to the one living it. Even his top Doc today said months. Hes just trying to get more time.
Thanks for keeping me positive dan in what i think is hard times but in reality isn’t.. you were and are an inspiration. What an amazing human 🙏
Praying for you brother! Stay strong! And honestly man I know I dont personally know you but it hurts me really bad to see you like this.. today was actually some good news though which I am happy about hopefully when they perform surgery they find that the masses can be dealt with and we can get you a path to full recovery.. you have a lot of ppl that love you man just know that. And you truly are an inspiration to EVERYONE!
Such a genuine, positive and inspiring individual ❤️
He certainly is!❤
Dan love a honest Doctor . My sisters doctor was honest but my sister was in denial until the end. You continue Dan to Live . Thank you for sharing this inmate moment in your life. Nice Calvin Kline's undies and NASA shirt.
I can’t imagine having to ask what you’re own life expectancy is - you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sending positive thoughts x
I had almost no chance that the imunotherapies would so much to my Melanoma tumors. I was told that they might at best, slow it down a little bit. Thank God, it did actually shrink my tumors and even kept it from growing out of control for a year!!!! Unfortunatly, I have many new tumors and they stopped all my immunotheripy treatments. But I am still here. I had tumrs all over, even growing into my heart, fluid around my heart and in both my lungs, blood clots and much more. But I tried something that had little chance to help. And it did. I will pray the same will happen for you Dan. Its just got too!!!
So sorry to read such a sad story but so happy that it went better than expected! Keep on fighting! 🤗
tumors in heart? how is that possible?
try flor-essence gentle detox tea it worked for my tumor. i used it along with organic juicing twice a week curcumin/turmeric, bragg organic apple cider vinegar and organic milk thistle
Immunotherapy is pretty good. It's working for me. I'm glad it could slow it down for u.
Glad to hear it is working for you. I will pray for total healing
Hi Dan, I think you are hopefully sleeping well right now. I clicked on this as soon as I saw your IG story. Yes darling we are amazed you are still with us, no point in not being real about it. I really hope they can do the surgery if for no other reason than to debulk the tumors and bring you some pain relief. If they think chemo could help, I know you’ll try that too, I just worry about it weakening you or bringing back more sickness. You are such a warrior and I enjoyed seeing the Doctor and nurse express their surprise at how well you are doing despite how sick you are. As always I’m sending much love, respect and prayers for you dear Dan. Stay positive and please stay with us for as long as you can. I am not ready to say goodbye 😭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗 Danielle from CA, USA
Dan, I love the fact that you keep pushing and doing whatever you can do. My aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that went into her bones. That was 3 years ago! The doctors say it’s now contained. Before it was growing rapidly. She’s doing great! Just do what you can do. Live your life. All my Love to you. Don’t give up! Love from Seattle😊💕
That is good news for a change. I am so happy for you. I've followed you for months now and feel every up and down with you. BTW, my surgeon told me last week that the cancer I had was undetectable from the last test results. I'm hoping and praying for you to improve beyond what you could ever imagine. Hang in there Dan!
WOW WOW WOW what an experience you have shared with us. never in my life did I think I would be in a room while such a discussion is taking place. Dan you are incredible and help shine a new a positive light on a scary ordeal. I am in debt to you sir. Much love big man.
And not nearly as scary when mixed with Dan's laughter.
What a positive attitude he has that can still laugh x
RIP professor Gore. Just saw he passed away suddenly from a yellow fever shot.
@@Clopidogrel22 very sad
When I see that doctors like this have passed...how much knowledge and expertise goes with them. As someone that’s been in the hospital as well as my gf the last two years a few times, health care and doctors are not what they used to be
How sad
Omg ☹️🙏🏼
Resistência Nacional Emily Hayward too!
Dan, you look and sound amazing! The shortness of breath has really subsided now. Dr Gore is lovely, you can tell that he genuinely cares about you ❤️ Keep fighting the good fight and prove the doctors wrong!
You are a fighter and I love to see you make it worthwhile and continue fighting! Stay strong!
Not all heroes wear cape
I come accross your chanel a few weeks ago and didn't know really what to comment but i do have something to say from the bottom of my heart and soul.. I'm so proud of you and you're such an inspirational character.. when I say character I don't mean person behind a camera or a character in general I'm talking unique personality that's built with strength and motivation that's just literally shielded by solid iron or steel.. it's like nothing phases you.. you're so strong you don't let anything pass to damage you or your loved ones.. I wish you the best along this journey we call life that some of us take for granted.. whether selfishly or confidently open to everything and everyone. You really need to take a look in the mirror mate and claim your credit to your soul for being unique.. inspirational.. aswell as caring loving and so friendly.. kind hearted in general and a happy young man.. whether you win this fight against a horrible demon we lose loves ones by or not please just remind yourself we will never forget you or discard you from our memory.
Stay strong! Stay positive and stay proud. We are all behind you and with you Dan!
Andreas Hawkins beautifully said👍🇬🇧
So many could learn from your positivity ❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟 your ACE xxx
Dan I have so much negativity going on right now in my life and I keep coming back to your videos for strength and to remind me I can get through it. You did and will forever touch us all 💜 you
First let me say, whoever hit the "thumbs down" on this, I'm hoping you did so b/c of the "cancer content" and not b/c u don't support our friend, Dan. In case anyone doesn't know, the "thumbs up" is for Dan and to support his channel. Sorry, I just had to clear that up. 😉. Dan is one hella fighter and has become family to over 100,000 RUclips followers. That being said, Dan, hang in there, you are such an inspiration to everyone and we are all here for you. Keep proving those docs wrong. ❤️🙏
Rebecca Garton I agree, I think for our own peace of mind, let’s assume the thumbs down are purely because they hate cancer.
@@lluna1266 , yes absolutely. It's hard for me to hits thumbs up sometimes, b/c I hate cancer, so I'm sure that's the case. Have a great day! 😊
I hit the thumbs down for cancer. Cancer is bad. I am also really dumb! 😭
@@evilubuntu9001 , you're not dumb! I used to do the same thing, lol, but then someone let me Kno that even though I hate the actual cancer content, that I should still give a thumbs up b/c it helps their channel. No worries, have a great day friend.
EVIL UBUNTU You're NOT DUMB! I feel bad thumbsing things up like this, but you are cheering the Warriors not what they have.
I almost teared up when you showed all the tumors on your side. That looks so awful and painful. Bless your heart man. I've been following you for awhile and you are so inspiring. Your attitude makes me feel like I can get through anything. I wish you all the best and hope your pain goes away. You got this. You are so amazing. Much love ❤
Professor Gore is now dead as well, My respect to those 2 beautiful souls.
Oh god, that's just awful. From what I'm reading, he was so respected.
Little did we know when we first watched this video that Dan would be gone 4 weeks later and Professor Gore 4 months later. Truly haunting.
@@Forever_Nostalgic Thats crazy. So in essence during this filmed chat they were both terminal and very close to death. Eery indeed
@@playlistaccount no. From what I understand Gore died due to a bad reaction to a yellow fever vaccine.
So it was quite sudden compared to Dan.
@@mikkel066h Your reply doesn’t make sense
@@playlistaccount Professor Gore was not ill at this point. He got a vaccination against yellow fever and died very shortly after. It was a sudden death, so not terminal at this point in time.
I love that you have such a strong will. That's half the battle. Prayers and more prayers are coming your way. Love the Calvins by the way.....
I'm a medical student and I watch your vids all the time, your vids made me want to go into oncology. I really want to be able to help people like you, because this is horrible. I admire your spirit and wish you luck. you've exceeded expectations and hopefully you still will and surprise everyone.
Wishing you all the best. It sounds like you will be a wonderful oncologist.
I hope you do.You obviously have the heart, which is the no.1 qualification.
you think this is horrible so you want to become an oncologist so you can expose sick people to the most horrible way to die??? hehehe pure evil i like your style
So you're 17 ( I presume) and are in med school already.. Lucky boy. Tried to get in once when i graduated in 2017, and have to try again this year. Its so hard getting into med school here in europe
OH he wants to help?? Thats not evil at all!
RIP Dan and Professor Gore. Two amazing and incredible people 🙏
Professor Gore passed away?!
@@iicjguitar0416 Yeah. Shortly after this video.
@@iicjguitar0416 5 months before Dan Died.
What a champ!! It takes a strong person to do what your doing... your strength is amazing... go Dan the man!!
Keep on ....My darling Dad is fighting too and his love of McDonald's cheeseburgers is keeping him alive .....Lots of love as always.xxxxx
love of MacDonald cheesburgers?
In life you have to do what brings you happiness, when your struggling to live, that goes triple. SUPER SIZE IT!
It's the only thing he wants/fancies to eat as he feels sick all the time...He has Mesothelioma caused by Asbestos
Keep going strong my dear young brave friend! You are incredible and you have such lovely people caring for you! We all love you, so keep us updated!
Ta Ta!
-your Grandma Fan in Atlanta
Please continue to shock us all Dan we luv you!
Great update Dan! And thanks to Professor Gore for allowing you to film. We continue to have hope! Yay!
This doctor presents wonderfully and kind bedside manner! Godspeed my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a fuckin fighter! I love you Dan!
Yes.. everytime the going gets rough..Dan digs in and just gets stronger
He is such a warrior
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dan. You are amazing. I loved this video. I fucking love you.
You are such an inspiration. Ive followed a few of your videos and keep watching hoping for a miracle. Keep fighting and eating well and ill keep checking in.
That was one of the tougher videos from Dan to watch. But thank you for showing us all the stark reality of what ur going through. Stay strong bro.
I watched Emily Hayward and her positivity and outlook on life was so awesome for what she went through and found your YT channel and again amazed at your positive look at everything with what you are going through. It’s so sad to see such awesome people like you leaving everyone way before your time. You keep staying positive and squeak out as much of life as you can. You are an angel.
Thank you for sharing this very private meeting with your Doctor. You are so brave and your humor through this is wonderful. I feel like we are all on this journey and I can't click your updates fast enough. Here till the end Dan lots of love xxxx
DAN, I WENT THROUGH CANCER, Stage 3. Not as bad as yours. You are a wonderful strong soul.
Great update Dan and really positive. What a lovely doctor! We all want you to proof him wrong 🙏🤞🏻
I'm watching some of these videos again because I genuinely miss him.
Watching this one just makes my jaw drop. The doctor tells him 4-9 months and he's so calm and dignified and he was always so full of hope. *Truly* an inspiration.
I wish i could be as strong as you with my leukemia, you're so amazing i look up to your strength, i really do love u Dan.
Lucy, power to you 🖖🐥
❤️
lucy lu keep fighting you ARE amazing xxx
My cousin survived leukemia as a 12 year old back in 2011. There is always hope when you have a strong mind
lucy lu yes you are! Keep fighting :)
The Most Incredible Rockstar Fighter on the Planet! Hands down!!!
Love You!!!
What a wonderful gentleman and brilliant NHS staff. May he rest in peace.
The doctor also died shortly after.
Honestly praying that some miracle happens; You've got so much left to give to the world!!
