First 24 Hours On Chemo & End Of Life Care Gets Explained To Me

- My video yesterday • FIGHTING CANCER LIKE A... showed me having my first round of chemo for this type of cancer, it's a pleomorphic sarcomatoid carcinoma, it's ultra rare, ultra aggressive and just really sucks. It's also terminal, at this point they expect me to have 2 months if the chemo does not work, more if it does work. Who knows ey, it's just an estimate.
The tumours are spread over a big area and grow in a very short space of time. Please feel free to look through my older videos to find out more.

It is 2021 and today his vlogs were recommended, so I saw a few to find out he isn't around anymore. Rest in peace.
It’s so sad, I literally cried my eyes out cause my sister is now going through the same thing. Ugh this sucks. To know that life has something spectacular, and wonderful and you will never see it, to know a god above is letting us humans suffer the way Dan did, really questions faith. Rest in peace man
You need to watch the entirety of his journey whilst fighting this- beautiful, eye-opening, great to remember this beautiful man
@@sheldonhatch8255 I agree, I'm very new to his channel & I'm absolutely mesmerized by him!! His soul is so sooo vibrant!! I do rewatch his videos also when clarity is needed & a great reminder of what I take for granted on a daily basis.
He saved lives with his vlogs. I'm sure of it! Dan was a true hero!
Koenraad......me too. 9-18-21 i am learning backwards about this man & his struggle into death.....
Dan you are not alone. I too went through the end of life introduction. I was briefed on in-hospital pallative care. I was told that in order to be assigned a hospital bed on the pallative care ward the doctor needed to give me 3 months or less to live. If I do live longer then 3 months in the pallative care ward then I will need to move to a nursing home. After receiving this info I immediately contacted a lawyer and had my Will completed that also included naming my power of attorney which is my sister. Dan once I completed the Will package and got my affairs in order I put it all aside and forgot about it. You should do the same, spend a few days researching getting everything in order and get it done and then do not think about it anymore. I completed this end of life preparation thinking I had only 6 months to a year to live. It's now been 8 years later and I'm still alive and kicking. The same could happen to you my friend. Cheers.
What a great outcome for you, as well as uplifting and much needed advice for Dan and others! Cheers to you both
That's amazing! I hope Dan gets booted from hospice for the reason you mentioned. All the best to both of you!
Edward do you still have the cancer or is it gone for now? And dude you are amazing keep on kicking mate :)
jazz ray I still have the cancer. It's metastatic meaning it spread from my kidney to my lungs and also to my brain. When I found out it had spread to the brain I immediately had radiation treatment. Since they found it when the tumour was only 3 mm the radiation completly destroyed the tumour within 2 months. My CT scan of my brain after radiation treatment showed the small 3 mm tumor was completely gone. Zapped!!. You see the key here is to detect any new tumors when they are very small so thats why I get scanned every 3 months. In regards to my lungs I have 2 tumors and both of them are stable. My cancer originated in my right kidney. That kidney was removed and for 8 years now I have got by on only one kidney. That's ok though because once you remove one of your kidneys the remaining kidney grows stronger or larger and basically does the job for two. My cancer is terminal. Because the cancer spread from the kidney to my lungs and brain there is no cure. It's too late for a cure once it spreads from the primary site. I have been told by my oncologist that one day my cancer will eventually take my life. I have accepted that. However until that happens I have decided to live my life to it's fullest. I have travelled the world and have just bought a new motorcycle. I try not to worry about the future. Instead I'm living in the present moment right here right now.
Edward i wish you the best. i have mad respect for people going through what you ve gone
I'm sorry...spread your wings and fly, sweet angel! No more pain😢🌹🌺💕
This just came up in my recommendations. I know he’s sadly passed on- but wow. This man is amazing, no one should ever have to go through this. So sad, what a man. Rest in peace.
He was so brave, and had a good attitude. If you’re healthy that’s one reason to be very thankful
I've only recently started watching your channel, and (obviously!) we don't know each other, but I think about you so much. Keep the faith, mate. We are all with you x
Jo Cannon you sound like such a nice person thank you so much for supporting him he needs it but he’s doing good
Me too. Think about him a lot x
Me three. keep up the good fight Dan.
Same here. I'm praying for him for strength. I'm a stage 3b breast cancer survivor. I know how he feels 😞 Hang in there warrior 👍👍👍
I too just recently started watching him. I dont think he knows how many people honestly do care and are very concerned about him. It tears me to pieces and I want to just squeeze him and make him all better!!!! Much love
My goodness. I’m so sorry you are going through this. You have taught so many to appreciate life bc no day is ever guaranteed. You’re a light in this world never forget that. Keep fighting and we will keep you in our prayers.
It really f'ing sucks that you are going through this, it really does. Sending you positivity and love.xx
Dan, you just popped up in my recommended with this video. I am still subscribed to you. Albeit we never met in person, I am thankful to have discovered your channel and watched your journey for the better part of 8 months while you were still with us. Godspeed my friend.
I also eenjoyed watching his end of life, it was an honor
GOD BLESS YOU!! YOU ARE A AMAZING MAN!
@Czesław K. THAT WAS CRUEL SIR!! TURN IT OFF,WATCH SOMETHING ELSE! IT IS ABOUT. THE MEMORY OF THIS MAN, AND HOW STRONG HE WAS, AND TO LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS OF CHEMO, AND RADIATION!! I WORKED AT A HOSPITAL FOR OVER FORTY YEARS, AND LOST MY BROTHER AND MOTHER AND FATHER, WENT THROUGH THIS! SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA YET, BUT, WE. ALL WILL DIE,. Feel SORRY FOR YOU!!
Hey frm Aussie, Yep this popped up in my recommended today, I don’t know you, but that was pretty moving for me and I felt pretty selfish getting upset but couldn’t help that, this was about you, and you seemed like a awesome person stuck handling a hard situation, the 6min video ended, I scrolled round and seen the outcome, hope your journey out was special and I hope your family is ok 2.. See you there!
i realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
I can't believe this young lad is gone! Life is so beautiful, fragile and unpredictable. RIP .
Soooooooo beautiful. Thats really sad.
So sad, deepest sympathy,he's so young
A true inspiration soul, it absolutely sucks! . Fcuk cancer!!! 😥
life is mostly shit, with glimpses of sunshine here and there
Thinking of you. Wishing you the best. Keep fighting.
I watch you all the time! Keep fighting my friend!
I think you are really HOT!
The fact you were being sick yet keeping us all updated - being positive, just wow. What an incredible being you are. Rest as much as needed, you’re in my thoughts! Xxx
I followed Dans journey till he end! Still miss him ! Can't believe it's been that long now since he passed! Hope his family is well Much love Barb 🙏❤️
In 4 months he'll be dead for 4 years: unreal.
@@BradleyCoopertest 😢I can't believe he's been gone that long! I also followed his journey and fell in love with him! Very sad when he passed! He gave it his all and was an inspiration to many 🤣

For some reason, you just keep popping up! And forgive me, but watching you and listening to ur voice, telling ur story has been helping me with my story for the past months! Its so comfort ing for me...and I thank you and your family...truly an angel that has been sent to help me!🌹💜
Dan,
You truly amaze me every single day! I can’t imagine vlogging as much as you do, if I were that sick. You are a true fighter and educator! It takes serious determination to update us in between bouts of vomiting. You show that you love and care for us, just as much as we love and care for you.❤️ Keep fighting and winning!
Like. All. Great. Fighters. He. Never. Lost. His. Fight. He. Simply. Retired.. R. I. P.
@@0wenewards97 I agree!❤️
@Chris Francis Very sorry about the loss of your father. Mine is very fortunately a survivor of two cancers. Thank God! I will never forget Dan. He was the absolute best! I still have the tee shirt I ordered from him. Thank you for your kind words & God bless you as well.😊😊😊
Dan, what a lovely, sweet human being you are. If it's any comfort, there are so many people around the world who love and support you....so many. We are so lucky that you came into our lives on CZcams. You have contributed so much. As always sending love and positive thoughts......
Daniel, I said a prayer for you this morning and I will continue to 💕
This man has bigger balls then I will ever have. Respect to you brother. I hope there’s a after life so I can shake your hand.
"even when I'm feeling sick, I'm the same silly person"
Oh Dan, I wish you had had more time.... you are such a gift. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
It's not uncommon for food to become really nasty tasting through chemo treatment. I took care of my brother when he went through his for his brain tumor. About the time he could eat again without everything being disgusting he would have to go for his chemo treatment again. You're such a brave man for videotaping your journey and also leaving a legacy for your family to look back on
Thanks Dan for posting this video. Great that you can be so positive under such difficult conditions. Wishing you the very best.
That fact they have told you your dying and you some how still seem to smile is truly incredible ❤️
Rest in peace sweetheart. His eyes are amazing so beautiful.
It hurt so much in my heart that a man like this had to go thru all the shit that he did.
And my eyes fill up with tears every time I realise that this beautiful human is gone.
Yeah, like So Fia 😔
You’re dealing with this so bravely, my partner is currently going through palliative/end of life care, he has terminal lung and brain cancer, just wanted to say that if you (or anyone on these comments) ever need someone to chat too who’s going through the same thing, you’re more than welcome to message me , can post my email if anyone needs it. Stay strong xx
Punklet Clegane my Dad died of lung cancer, he had never even smoked☹️ I wish you well on your journey together, have as much fun on the journey as possible as these are the memories you will hold close in the end xx
I remember the times.. (yup there was numerous ones), where my family and I had to prepare for outcomes. They never turned out the way doctors said. Just a little encouragement, Glad you got out
CONGRATULATIONS! Feels great huh? Although I'm fighting a new battle that sadly won't go away but I intend to overcome it as much as I can. I wish you continued successes
I don't know how you keep going the way you do when you're nauseated. I'm the biggest baby when I'm sick on my stomach. You're the man, Dan!!
This is my first time watching this video. It's so scary seeing how he progressed so quickly and got so much worse and weaker.
Hope you're alright up there, Dan. See you up there someday. Xxx
Dan, you show amazing strength and resilience through incredibly unfair circumstances. Please know that your honesty in sharing your experience with the world enlightens all of us.
Your attitude is amazing! Your spirit is so strong! We fight with you, you are not alone! Much love from Lexington, Kentucky!
good luck and i hope you can magically get better its just a real shame that people like you have to go through all of this xx
So proud of the way you handle everything that is thrown your way
Just seeing these videos in 2022. This guy seems such a down to earth guy..his time is limited but yet still making videos to explain an teach us about his illness.. why is it the best 1s go first 😭. Rip Dan gone but never forgotten 💓
Unbelievable! Dan looks the picture of health. The cancer was clearly having trouble dimming the sparkle and zest emitting from his eyes. What a fighter 💪. A true warrior 🌟😢. RIEP. No more worries, no more pain
Damnit peewee... if something were to happen to you, it would break my heart.... I’m emotionally invested in your wellbeing ... sending you positive vibes and hugs xo
everything that can happen to him already has.
moikanos11 things can always get worse , trust me.
You're the man Dan! Can't explain how much I love watching your videos. I wish you all the best.
always amazed at how you seem to handle this.. you are a big inspiration.. always with you well..
Hard to believe he passed on. He looks so good.
Well, he WAS alive for these videos. God bless his life!
@Sarah ohhh he died?? soooooooo sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Every time I see these videos they seem so surreal. I can’t believe you are gone. I’m a stranger and have only found your channel months ago, however I’m deeply saddened and feel tremendous pain for the loss of you for your friends and family. I’m so sorry to those who feel the horrible pain, I can not understand this life.
Hang on 🤗
Def drink lots of fluid, because helps food exit easier when your throwing up, resting is good, hope you have some good days.
Love ya man. We're all routing for you, we don't expect the vlogs from you but it brightens my day when you do. Stay strong dude.
This is a common side effect Dan. I’m on long term low grade chemotherapy drug for past 2 years and I cannot stomach coffee ☕️ anymore and I love coffee! I hope the sickness was a one off for you, make sure your taking your steroids and anti sickness at correct time, usually at least a full hour before you eat! So hope this improves for you pal. Take any help that’s offered if it helps Dan. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best xxx
Diana Murray love 💕 to you too
I wish you the very best aswell Diana 🙂
Zofran is the nausea drug of choice
captain planet thank you but I’ve unintentionally mislead with my comment to Dan, I don’t have cancer, I have psoriatic arthritis (bit like rheumatoid)which means my immune system attacks me! Resulting in inflammation and deteriorating joints which are starting to require surgery now. One of my ongoing treatments is Methotrexate which I get to self inject every week, it dampens down my immune system to try to slow down the joint degenerative process. I too admire Dan immensely and know the mental suffering he’s enduring must be terrible. He’s such a lovely lovely guy it’s so very sad. Sorry for not pointing out in my first comment what I had I don’t usually talk about it as people generally don’t know much about it but didn’t mean anyone to think I have cancer. Xxx
Diana Murray
Did you ever try baking soda water?
Hey Dan, hope this makes you smile - my cat was watching your video with me just now and he went right up to the screen and head butted the pictured of you! I think he was sending you love. Sending you my best wishes
Adriana - that made me laugh so I'm sure it made Dan laugh too😂
He passed away
Dan.. Has
Passed. On. But.. I'm. Sure. He. Wood. Have. Loved. Ur. Story.. Stay. Strong.
You got this Dan. I see your brother reported that after just 4 days of Chemotherapy the cancer has shrunk in size and the pain is 80% less. Amen!! I hope you are still coming along and continuing to get better! #kickcancersass
I can see you processing when you talk about hospice. It's a difficult topic, and it's an uncomfortable topic. You're never ready. It's something that we are "forced" into really. I hope the chemo gives you the extra time you're looking for. Your videos are amazing and I always anticipate the next. I admire your strength. My thoughts and prayers are always with you.
I'm really hoping that this chemo will keep this cancer at bay, Dan. Stay positive; love and big hugs to you and your lovely mum ❤❤❤❤
Awful how such a change Dan was from back then. Looks so healthy.
His smile never left him right to the end. He went through a very hard time and was a true hero.
RIP Dan x
God bless you. I was not given 5 years but told I wouldn’t live much longer, 7 years on, stronger and happier than ever. Your an inspiration my darling. God bless you and your loved ones. Xx
I’ve got soo much respect for you man , regardless of what you’re going through daily , you still have time to let us know in details and what’s going on .
I don't think I've ever wanted to give anyone a bigger hug than you.. Lots of love
U got support all the way from Palestine❤️
Alla Zeidyyeh ❤️Peace in Palestine ❤️
If only there was more support for palestine
@jenmark @therealtark you thank 💖we do need more support honestly, but now I hope the best for him
EVERYONE LETS GET TOM TO HIT THE MONETIZE BUTTON... IF HE DOESNT WANT TO TAKE THE MONEY HE COULD DONATE TO A CANCER CHARITY.... BUT I DO THINK YOU SHOULD MONETIZE IT DUDE
Madgaz Gaming what happened to all those donations on the gofundme, do you know?
Madgaz Gaming stop
Tess what go fund me ?
Madgaz Gaming I agree 100% lead the charge
Madgaz Gaming I fully agree
Your no longer sick and in heaven making people laugh! We will see you there Dan! You are a LEGEND and Legends NEVER DIE! ✌❤🕊
This guy documenting his experience shook the s##t out of me, in the best way possible. X
After seeing this, I am left speechless! You are a remarkable man, Dan! All those people complaining about trivial, petty, matters could learn a lot from you. You are doing great, and if anyone can beat this, it’s you! 💖
I still pop in now and then to see you Dan, still miss you man, I will never forget you.
You truly are an inspiration. I’ve been with you quite awhile now and through it all, you vlog and keep us up to date. You’ve helped so many, whether it was about treatment or enjoying life NOW and for me, it’s been all of it. Enjoy as much of every day that I have. Thank you, Dan & thanks to Mum for being such a great, loving, supportive Mum.
This man has wonderful humour and the greatest attitude. We can all just keep hoping for you. Xxx
This may be of little comfort, but you look remarkably well for someone going through what you're going through. Stay strong, man.
I have been following you for a little while. You are a special, dear young man. I am a retired nurse in Ohio and I have taken care of many people in over 40 yrs and it never gets easier to see people go through what you are experiencing...especially young people. You and your dear Mum are in my thoughts...only my best thoughts. Thank you for sharing your journey. We all learn from it.
This absolutely broke my heart, I hope his family is at peace as I’m sure he is.God Bless
I am sorry to hear Dan has passed. I am glad he is at peace. My grandpa had bone cancer and had chemo and said he felt like his insides were being cooked. I hate anyone has to go this. I watched my Aunt go through stage 4 pancreatic cancer and 3 or 4 months after she was diagnosed she was gone it was horrible.
Seems like no one posts npw that youre gone. I still watch your vids. RIP Dan, no more pain or worries.
Tiffany Anna still missing him
He was such a brave and positive soul. He lives on in many many peoples hearts and minds. I believe his spirit is just somewhere else now. Happy and at peace.
His wife has a channel -- I think it's called BeccaToms -- and his parents were posting on his yearly.
Hey Dan ! ..its 2 years on and I've only just met you ! Yes, I understand you've passed..but you are STILL touching lifes in SUCH a positive way ! What a good soul you are ...and wow ! What a good looking chap ! Sending love all the way up to you and strength and peace to your family... xxx
I thought I have problems I will never complain again! I found this Chanel yesterday I won't complain about my life again. He was a very strong man and a good Man too.
RIP Dan ur one of the best respect to his family and him! Those videos help a lot of people! Thank you very much!
Stay strong man, you're such a nice guy and it pains me to see this happen to you, but keep fighting it!
15 years ago they told me I my life expectancy was 5 years at best. Keep the faith - and yes, chemo sucks.
Dee Tilley you still with us then?
You still here?
How's life?
Hey you still kicking it ?
Dee Tilley I
Yep.... I called it "Chemo Nose". Everything had a horrible metallic taste and smell. Still happens sometimes. No advice, just empathy. Sorry you're feeling so sick, Dan. We're all here for you.
I cant stop watching even after your gone. RIP
RiP.Such an amazing guy.Remaining so positive in the face of suffering that we all pray we never have to experience. Seems so cruel that the brightest souls sometimes burn the shortest time.
YOU'VE got this!!
Love's to you & family
I've been praying more often for you.
Love your positivity. Be strong 💕💕
There are no words Dan......I wish you peace and much love,you are a brave soul and i hope your lovely mum strength and love too.x
What an incredible person never came across someone so lovely and positive
I am So Glad you left us with 'Yourself' Dan because you are Alive here right in this moment . . Not the best of times but here you are still. And even though this journey came to an end you educated so many and always kept it real, right up till the end. You are amazing, as I have said so many times before ~ White feathers! #LOVE
Have a good rest man. Namaste 🙏🏻
Dan's positivity, courage, and sense of humor in the face of unbelievable adversity should be an inspiration to us all when we are faced with our own trials and tribulations in life. What an incredible role model he was.
You're a hero and a legend man honestly
Dan you're vlogs are a huge gift to all of us - whether you're up or down, good or bad days, that you allow us into your private, personal and highly intimate journey - just want to THANK YOU for letting us be with you up close. You help all of us deal with our lives in big ways. Great note from Edward here. Best.
I'm watching your older videos and you have such a high spirit although you are going thru this. I use to feel very sorry for myself with the things I go thru but now just by watching your videos; I realized that I need to stop feeling sorry but live life to the full. You are such an inspiration to me and many others. I am praying for you that God will give you a miracle and all cancer will leave your body and never return again. You give me hope and I will never stop believing for you. Miracles are real and your spirit shows that things can change for the good. God bless you :)
Bless you man :) I saw your sadness when she talked about the hospice and then you tried to joke it off-I understand you, I do the same. Wish you all the best!
You can beat cancer, YOU CAN! FIGHT! PRAYING FOR YOU
Keep fighting Dan! 👍👍👍👍
I feel so sad. Still can’t believe you’re gone. You always make me feel better, even though you were so sick throughout this video. You are dearly missed by so many people xo
Lots of love and prayers dear. My brother has been battling cancer for ten years over and over. Hang in there God is great.
Please tell your doctor about your vomiting. There are meds to help you like Compazine and Zofran. You don't have to suffer through this. You are an amazing man and set a high bar for the rest of us.
Don't want to "tempt fate", but worth reporting that my mum had a recurrence of cervical cancer, from which our delightful GP took avid pleasure in telling me she had basically no survival chance. Chemo and radiotherapy later (the radiotherapy almost finished her off) and her latest scans show no sign of cancer. So things can work out for the best / better.
Politico amazing news, I’m so glad it turned out that way.
That's amazing news brother! I'm so happy for you.
That’s incredible!!!
Surprised they done chemo and radiotherapy my sis was told she couldn’t have this on a reoccurrence
*GOD* : "care package inbound!"
A tip from my chemo days i learnt if you eat pineapple Dan it kind of relieves the horrible tastes in your mouth, I wanted to stuff my face through chemo Dan but it was all rubbish i wanted ie.. carrot cake , strong cheese and chineses.!...also nothing tasted good at all either even the stuff i wanted! thinking of you, you can do this! xx
Rip buddy, your vlogs were in my feed today . Fly high
The updates are treasures for all of us. We’re all standing behind you in your efforts to maintain a strong spirit. Love is surrounding you.
I already miss you so much.
Me too
Me too :(
NRGDrank Me too :( :(
NRGDrank he had such a great smile
Somehow I literally stumbled on these videos and I see this brave young man has now died - my prayers to his family. I am a retired Hospice counselor. We did not have inpatient but, rather, cared for people in their homes. A majority of our cancer patients were admitted only a day or so before dying and I never got to meet them so I primarily was there for their family and loved ones. Hospice is a wonderful organization - some are owned by hospitals and/or large corporations (the one I worked for was a small, independent Hospice begun by a former pastor) but the feedback I've heard from people over the years from many different locations is very positive re: Hospice care.
If I could give any advice/information I would say to not be afraid of Hospice care. Many people think that if they go to Hospice they are giving up but studies over time have shown that people usually feel much better with palliative care (ie. pain relief and comfort care) and may live longer since they're not dealing with pain. One of my patients, a man around 40, had hepatitis and was not expected to live longer than six months (Hospice criteria) but survived and left Hospice. That being said, I so admire this man's courage.
Dan hope you start to feel better. 🙏💞
💝 my best friend just passed away from cancer, she looked healthy and I miss her much. Thank you Dan 🙏
How do you even comprehend having stuff like that explained to you without losing your composure.
Hi Dan I'm Sean from Ireland, just bumped into this channel by accident. You seem like such a lovely person, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope you beat this thing mate - one more round!
Your an absolute inspiration man it's insane. Hope all goes well :)
Man I have not seen Dan's face since he passed and this was 3rd in my recommendations today. It really shook me. I miss this sweet guy so much and I hope his family and wife are still taking care of themselves after his passing.
I miss him too. I watched him all the time and his video just popped up.
❤🙏 good guy!
When did he pass?
@dreama coletrain im very sorry
@@deezostrong6303 2 years ago in Sept
I miss you Dan. Hope you are finding heaven to be heavenly.
We haven’t seen a video in a few days, so I was thinking of you and hoping you are feeling better! Praying for you, stay strong!
You are a strong guy. I can’t imagine what that would be like. Stay up bro
