    I’m a few years late in catching your story w/ cancer . I actually just discovered you thru tik tok and UTube and have been just amazed with your incredible voice ( both singing and spoken )
    I’ve downloaded your music and I’ve been praying for you , but jus now see this cancer journey was 3 -4 years ago !
    Hoping you’re recovering 100 %
    And keeping fans happy w/ new amazing music .
    I’m far away in ARIZONA USA ….
    I’ve become a fan and most of all wish you well .
    You have not just an amazing vocal range , but a great name ( STAN ) as that’s MY name as well !
    I’ve experienced cancer with my Father and Mother . Now facing a open heart surgery for my sister .
    So in some way I relate .
    All the Best Stan and just got the new Christmas song !
    Your rendition of Amazing Grace is beyond amazing & don’t dream it’s over is the Best .
    Thanks for sharing your incredible journey . You are a incredible person who helps to make other people happy thru your music & message of HOPE .
    Gods Blessings ~ 🙏

  • @IaMoDiNaRy
    @IaMoDiNaRy Před 5 lety +28

    Wow! I just discovered this very talented singer. I'm so glad he's doing well. I've lost several family members to cancer. They suffered terribly before they died. The human body and mind are built for survival. Unfortunately, that can work against a terminally ill person when it would be so much more merciful if they could just pass on more peacefully..... I've personally had more experience with that than most people. :-(
    I'm very happy for Stan and his family that he's doing so well. Blessings sent your way....

I aint famous and dont have all the money etc but you know what I have and know? I know I am stronger mentally, physically and my mindset was and always positive since day1 diagnosed with gastric cancer. 2nd - my daughters, credit goes to them for being stronger then ever. Point is. I aint famous, i also lived a similar life like Stan, i still battle life up to this day. If stan werent famous. Would he still get to tell his story???
