Dan, I know you passed on 3 years ago but as a young man in my 30’s that has battled stage 2 brain tumors, your spirit and videos have helped many people. Please may you rest in peace.
@@carking1043 Hope you wont get this shit anymore. Cancer is the worst thing you can have... Now technoblade joined "Die by cancer "gang". Unfortunatley...
I hate cancer. It took my mom's life, and my grandma's life. I also got cancer 4 years ago but they caught it in time. I just hate to hear when pain meds no longer control their pain . so awful
It is heartbreaking to see such a handsome young man lose his battle with cancer.I am 73 and have survived breast cancer.His story makes me so grateful that I am still here.
So what he needs is basically what aubrey de grey is working on. search him and learn. then when you can, funnel money to age reversal medical research. it is needed to fix cancer.
I just wanted to let Daniel and his family know what a impact Daniels story has had on my life. I'm a 58 yr old lady that has lived my life in isolation and loneliness, but watching Daniel has convinced me that I need to turn my life around and I have volunteered to go to N.Carolina in 2 weeks to help with the hurricane cleanup and I have found a church a hour away that helps the homeless in Indianapolis, by providing food and shelter. I'm also going to Holland Michigan to learn how to start a chapter of the Love Sews ministry that sent you your lovely quilt. I realize now that we should never live our lives alone and fearful and through you Daniel, I've learned the love we take is equal to the love we make and you and your wonderful family will always be in my prayers...thank you, for teaching me that it's never to late to just live your life to make the world a better place.
What a lovely comment. Best wishes in your new adventures, Lisa J. It's good to know Dan's story has made impacts like this on people. I am his sister in law, and will pass on your story when I next see him.
@@pesto.frankie Thanks,was just getting my camper ready for North Carolina and will be packing my Don't give up hoodie and that hoodie will be worn like a super hero cape to remind me that I have nothing to fear other than wasting these last years of my life.
Loneliness is a very dark place to be.. I’m so happy for you that you found the light. There are still bad people out there but please focus that light on all the good souls such as other “Dans”. God Bless on your new chapter of living.
My heart aches for you. It really pains me to see you like this, but I applaud your bravery. You have shared your journey and - as we can see - it has not been easy and required so much strength!
HecateThe Yes we do and we understand he may use his phone in there if well enough. There is a commenter here who works in a hospice and knows that patients are not always in there for good, they can be in and out of hospices, and even in certain rare cases they leave and go in remission. One can only hope Dan makes it longer. We very much hope he is spending his time with family, but if he feels well enough to look at any messages then of course people will naturally want to share them.
I do too. Dan, wherever you are, I know you're looking down on us. Your family, your friends and everyone you touched while documenting your journey. You helped me cope with death at a time when my anxiety and fears were at their worst, and I, along with so many others, are forever grateful to have been given the chance to get to know you ❤❤❤
Dan is definitely touching peoples hearts and making his mark around the world, amazing brave bloke,a life not wasted , we are all a visit to the doctors / phone call away from this , Dan demonstrates how your life can change in the blink of a eye and how precious it is
You and your incredible story has helped so many to see cancer and want to fight it’s devastating effects. We will be watching your videos and continuing to the causes your directive points too. You are the BEST DAN A MARVEL🦖&🧜♀️&😺
I don't normally post but I can see you getting weaker and weaker and I watched my dad go through this two years ago when he passed of lung cancer. Please take this precious time and spend it with your family. Don't put too much pressure on yourself in regards to youtube. You've helped others so much more then you realise already and your amazing legacy will live on for sure. Take the very best care of yourself from here on out. You're in my prayers. Xxxxx
I agree with Dani Ella... Focus on your "Familam" and spend as many quality hours with them as possible, the most important people in your life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and may you feel peace and comfort during your remaining time here, before your next journey starts!
I' also have never commented, but I'm following his "journey", especially lately and it hurts. I agree on everything you've said. I can't imagine how all this must be for someone in his position or his family... take care, Dan! Take care! All the best from Germany!
This was his last video, it breaks my heart him saying he wants to ho home when hes better and that he'll update us later, but it never happened. Cherish every moment because you dont know when will be your last, life takes you by surprise and doesnt wait, live your life now. RIP Dan you were a true fighter and so positive.
@@vinniepaul182 Yes I was sad to see that. I thought it was a fitting last video as he was still showing his humor by joking about his tumor looking like a nipple....perhaps the visual was just too much. 😭
@@vinniepaul182 Yes, where Dan said he would never be able to eat anything, ever again. And that he kept thinking the cancer was a third nipple. It's a shame they took it down, because Dan wanted to show everything, the good and the bad.
Because of Dan's sharing his personal dying process with us, I feel he's birthed a family of over 140,000 brothers and sisters. Let's all send him our love and appreciation for being such an amazing example of how to live fully until the very last drop. Dan,may the angels of heaven surround you with grace and ease from now until eternity~
I've been following you for the last few months and have never commented, I've never known what to say, but I think I should before it is to late. I'm a 27 your old man from New Zealand who suffers from depression and anxiety You have inspired me so much the way you have lived in these last few months you've fit so much life in. You helped give me courage to propose to my partner, I was worried about having a baby now my baby is here I just enjoy every moment with her. You're light will shine bright and I'll have you in my heart and head for the rest of my life, I love you mate.
Such a lovely comment, Dan has helped without doubt thousands of his followers by his caring, sharing attitude to life, it's heartbreaking to see him suffering. Love you Dan.....
I was diagnosed with epilepsy last year during lockdown, I lost my job and driving license and as the year went on I got more and more depressed! I was at a point where I wanted to kill myself I didn’t want to live anymore. Then I came across Dan and he made me realise how selfish I am for even considering suicide. You saved my life Dan thank you. What a beautiful human.
Awww Adam nothing is worth that. Your not selfish it just changes your whole life my mother has epilepsy and she was extremely depressed. I am so glad you watched his video and I hope things turn around quickly for you. I promise we are better with you then without.
I'm really sorry about the epilepsy diagnosis.😔 It is life changing I do know. I was diagnosed at 17. I'm now 42. Each time I felt I got a little further from the diagnosis, it reared its head and reminded me who is in charge. I have had a good stretch of "normal" and I'm thankful. I pray you find a good med and get your license back and your freedom.and independence too. 💗💗
I just found you tonight, Dan, and I can’t begin to to explain how your words and your honesty in this situation have moved me. It’s 4am as I type this and I wish I could do anything to bring you some sense of comfort, but I can only type on this phone from my room. From one human to another, I love you, buddy. You’ve given so many people strength and a better understanding through your example. If the weight of it all becomes too much to endure, you can put down the gloves, brother, and no one will think any less of you if you need this time for yourself. You’ve given enough to us. All the love, Dan. ❤️
Ok now I'm really bawling. It's not often I find such beautiful comments as I do on Dan's CZcams postings. You're a lovely person with a tender,caring heart Dylan,don't ever change or let the world harden you sweet thing
These videos are so sad. This world is a very sad place. That's why we need to be kind to each other. We never know when it could be our last day here. I want people to remember me as a kind, gentle man, who loves his family and always gives more than he receives. You will go down in internet history as an inspiration to many many many people who need someone to relate to while going through such a hard experience. Much love man.
My mother died of metastatic melanoma in 2012... Still feels like yesterday... Those summer days when I used to wake her up, opening the window and saying "such a beautiful day today huh?" Of course she couldn't speak at that point anymore... But her eyes clearly said "where is this sun, that you all see... That endless blue, that used to be"... Her journey was one of a kind.. The type only, people like you my friend travel and have travelled ... You are indeed very special... Cancer is a journey and it leads to humbleness, wisdom and preparation... It humbles US around... Us STUPID mortals who fight and argue on which smartphone brand is better... We who constantly look on how to drop our body fat percentage lower and lower just for the sake of others.. To look at us and we proudly be like "Hah! I'm the center of attention"... We, stupid mortals become humble at the sight of your eyes and the sound of your voice... Wisdom... Anyone can notice how differently people like you speak and see things... Simple words, expressions yet put together in such way that touch your soul, that make you think... Think and accept how thin is the line that devides this bed, the one we don't want to get out from when the morning alarm is ringing , and that other we wish we only had the strength again to get out from... And preparation ... My friend Dan... I'm not a man of God... I barely even remember myself at church ever... But I do believe in one thing... What I saw with my mother... And I can say this... After 6 months of being in the most brutal, inhuman agonising and horrific state a human being can possibly be in.. After 6 months through hell.. I do believe It feels like heaven, when your eyes finally close... When you see no clouds... Just the light up above... Relax... And prepare! :) I'm just a nobody... But still I want to say you have my love and respect, Cheers buddy
I too lost my mum to stomach cancer in 2012 and just when I thought life was slowly getting better i recently just lost my dad to lung cancer so i tottally agree with you we should be so grateful for what we have because you never know what it's like until your as unfortunate as this poor guy so live love and be happy and grateful for each and every day
NoName Available So beautifully written. You are such a wise soul. You’re right we spend so much time worrying about stupid things and taking life for granted. We don’t realize just how good life is until we experience tragedy. It just seems so unfair that it happens to such beautiful people while others who are not so good get off Scott free. Dan is one of the sweetest most bravest persons I know and he has touched the hearts and souls of so many.
Hey man! You are incredible man! You've touched a lot of people's lives and you have helped me view life in a different light! I will never forget you! x
Dan.... no more worrying about keeping every one informed.. now is the time for peace and comfort. Surround yourself with those who love you dearly. Love to you and your wonderful family. X
aleterra, we all want him to get better...he is not going to come out of this. Sorry but it's the truth. And no, he's not going to read this, he is too sick.
my father couldnt even keep his eyes open, let alone make a voice to speak when he was in his finals day in hospice, i know exactly where hes at right now, the extreme fatigue from the drugs and metabolic collapse. hes dying. hes surrounded by family, they talk to the doctors, and he knows whats up, hes in denial of it, which is understandable.. a few more days maybe..
Dan, you just hang in as long as you, can but when it gets too much… Don’t fight it, just relax your body and go to sleep. And when you close your eyes, remember that there are thousands of people who care about you, love you and have been inspired by you. But something tells me that you will once again, surprise everyone, and come around the corner better on the other side. You are the strongest person I have ever “known.” It is an honour to be able to join you in your journey. Much love, Kymmie and Blake Porter, from Ontario Canada
You’re an amazing man, it’s so upsetting to see you struggle. I also imagine you must be scared. It’s impossible to find words to comfort you accept to say that you are not alone. You have a wonderful family and hundreds and thousands of people who love you and are with you through your struggles. That said death is a lonely place. The truth is we come into this world alone and we leave it alone. And we will all leave it. Who knows what is on the other side. In truth I don’t think it matters. My belief if what matters is how you have lived this life,here on earth and if that is the thing to be judged by, you have excelled in every way. You have inspired and touched people’s hearts, made them reevaluate their lives and appreciate what is truly important. You are a saint my dear friend and your wonderful legacy will never be forgotten. Love and peace x
What a fighter! Such an amazing man! Thank you Dan for everything you have done and you keep doing for others! You have helped so many... your story and videos touch the deepest parts of human soul.
Hey man... You might not see this comment, you have a lot. I watch music throughout the day at work. I came across one of your videos, and I was hooked, and instantly brought to tears. Because you know man, I've taken life for granted. I didn't tell my parents I loved them enough. I treated my girlfriend unfairly at times without merit because I was having a '' bad day ''. But you've touched my soul. I sit here at 28 years old, healthy, with a good job, a life so far in front of me. You're sitting in a hospital bed, and I complained that I was too tired to even work out. I have that luxury, you don't. I don't know you, but I have love for your words, and you as a person. You didn't ask for this, and now you live with it. I wish I could take your pain away. Thanks for all of this. Sincerely, your quickest, biggest fan.
@@Adam-wc9eg You stop thinking of another person as a thing to obtain ;) Seriously though, all in due time. Focus on making yourself better, and the rest will follow.
It is amazing how much you can care about someone you've never met. Watching you share your journey...the ups and downs...your beautiful wife and family...you feel like a part of my family. Dan...you are so loved..all of you are. Rest and let hospice do their work. So much more to say but I will stick with thank you. Thank you for changing my life with your humour, your openness, your love, your determination. My heart and my thoughts are with you all ❤ Love You Long Time❤
Tracy Ogden Lovely sentiment.. I feel the same way too .. also about the lovely Emily . I felt like Id lost a family member when she passed .. I'm not sure I could be as brave as Dan .. he's truly amazing !
So sad that you are struggling. You were the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. I am not religious, but I did say a little prayer for you. Hope that hospice can get you more comfortable so you can enjoy some more good days. Love to you and your fam.
Dan, I massively regret being a lurker and not commenting while you were still posting. I followed your story through to your passing and your spirit has just stuck in my mind ever since. I’ll come back on and rewatch your videos now and then. Now going through my first death of a close one through cancer, and with it happening so horrifically quick, I’m comforted coming back to your videos and what you shared with the world. Your documentation of end of life is so valuable, and deeply touching. I’ll keep using the lessons you so willingly shared with us and try to spread more of that joy and spirit. For all of us fighting battles against horrors in life, we won’t give in, we won’t give up ❤
You know the truth, Dan. I'm not going to tell you anything you don't already know. So let me just send you Love, which is the most profound prayer of all. It's in your breath and in the air around you. Float in the light and rise. You are and always will be alive and free.
My partner and I have been following your journey from the start. I am the same age as you and my partner is 28. We have 2 children who are both under 10. Watching someone slowly die from cancer brings out many emotions. At first, I didn't want to watch as part of me thought this feels a bit wrong as we don't personally know you and what your going through is a very private ordeal. This sounds a little selfish considering where you are now, but since watching your videos many of our bad lifestyle habits have changed. Watching you has taught us, (and many others I am sure) that life is precious and to enjoy it as much as you can. The name Peeweetoms will live on as someone who is Courageous, Strong and Determined. I have total repsect for you and thank you for sharing your journey so far.
N Parker this is what I love to hear :) it doesn’t matter whether or not you’ve had close dealings with cancer or not... Dan is making a difference to so many people’s lives x
I am a second year medical student and I just want to say, because of you I have chosen to enter the field of oncology with emphasis on cancer research. My niece had lung cancer, and after that I didn't think I could do it. But the way you have inspired, I'd give anything to help people like you live quality years past a diagnosis. Thank you, Dan. Sending hugs from across the pond.
@Flower Queen If only you understood how it really works. Cancer re$earch (dollar signs for emphasis) is a billion dollar industry that thrives on people's suffering and death. Even though there are more effective treatments that exist, they are not available to most people and you must qualify for a trial to even try them out. And when they do enter the market, they are not covered by most people's insurance due to their ridiculous cost, for example, one treatment of Neulasta (DIY chemo at home kit) costs $1,500! This is all in the name of re$earch. So most cancer victims just endure radiation and chemo like they have for decades to varying results. I doubt you will make a difference but I hope you do. Nobody should have to suffer like Dan did.
Dan you are an incredible man and I feel honoured to have met you on CZcams I'm so sorry that you have to go through this difficult journey but you have showed such great strength and stamina and you have fought hard and always with a smile on your face, people like you are rare and precious, may God bless you my friend ❤️
“My cancer story” was the first video of his that I watched. Somebody sent it to me because he was so delightful. His family will love this later. czcams.com/video/XO1KvYtPfws/video.html
Dan I know you want to live as long as possible. Just know we all love you and when you can't go anymore we will understand. No one wants to see you suffer in pain and be sick. You have fought a hard fight and done so much in a short time. Your wings await you to take you to your next destination. Then you will be able to watch over us. Love you long time Bro
Dan I really want the outcome to be what you want it to be. We are alike I would never give up just like you don't. However I pray with all my heart that IF you cannot overcome this cancer that you seamlessly move on to everlasting life. I pray that an Arch angel comes for you so you experience the sheer joy so many people have seen on the faces of people who were escorted to the next phase by angelic beings,saints or members of their own family. I pray that Jesus himself comes for you because your kindness has taught us so much. You did so many beautiful deeds on this earth, you gave lessons in humanity and you gave hope!! I love you my friend even if we never met.
Ken Williamson 100% In agreement ♥️😥🙂I personally have had more sadness in the past 2 yrs of my life, I don’t want to lose you my online brother and laugh maker and reassured and bring me up when I’m down.~~~~~YOU R MY private personal SUPER HUMAN HERO DAN!!!!!!!!! Do what You Need to do darlin. My love and respect and thanks will go on forever!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😥
Dan, you’ve been such an inspiration and a staple of bravery. Don’t ever forget that. You’ve fought to the end, even at your weakest and your optimism shaking. You’re already an angel on earth. Now you can be an angel watching over your family. You’re a warrior, Dan, and you’ll pass as one. We love you. 💙
those of you watching this, appreciate every day you have that isnt one spent in agony like this man. Dont take life for granted because it can change in an instant.
Hey Dan, I'm praying that you are comfortable and pain-free. If only prayers and love could perform a miracle, you wouldn't be this unwell. Take time to spend with your wife, mother, and father. Thank you for all you have done to spread the word about cancer awareness. Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank you for being our friend. I have 2 regrets. One, not finding your channel months earlier, and two -- and the biggest regret -- is that I never had the opportunity to meet you face-to-face. I know you would have been a positive role model, advocate, and above all friend. You are someone I will NEVER forget. Okay, I'm going to stop crying now....and just say, we love you.
Hi Dan, my heart breaks for you and your family, thank you so much for allowing us all to be part of this journey. You are an amazing human being and we all love you so much. Constantly on mind.
This is such an on-point comment and it reflects all I would wish to say, too. Dan's account of his journey has been brave, inspiring, profoundly moving and I am very privileged indeed to have shared them on this platform. Sending lots of concern, respect and love.
Oh Dan, most of us will go with nothing to show, you have left a shining legacy of courage. Dan, you can lay down your sword and shield and hit the stars. I admire you so much. My love to you , mum and dad and the Mrs. xxxxx
I just discovered this man a few hours ago and I am absolutely gobsmacked at how poised he was through all of this. Cancer is a piece of shit, but we should all hope we could deal with it like he did. Rest in peace you absolute boss of a human
My Dan the MAN ! my HERO, your a caterpillar now in a cocoon stage, soon your beautiful wings will spread, and your journey will take you flying high, over the rainbow where no more tears and pain will be. You are teaching many so many things about life, how short and sweet it can be. LOVE YOU
That was beautiful what you said. I wanted to say something like this, but I didn't want to say anything suggestive of an outcome less than hopeful. I really hope Dan's wife and his family read your comment. Can't believe we're all at this moment, but we're sharing this with him. Not many people get to leave this life with so many people that they never met, giving him so much support and love.
I’m in tears...utterly heartbreaking...I’ve been a silent lurker of your channel...hoping for a miracle...what an amazing person you are...thinking of you❤️
So, I came here from the video with the 11 millions views. Watching this video made me tear up. I don't even know WHO he is - but seeing him go from the cheerful man he was, to this, literally made me start crying. Man, cancer just sucks.
I remember findin this channel 2-3 years ago an absolutely bawlin to this video, it was extremely depressin to see him go from bein so cheerful straight to this where he was extremely drained. Every once in a while I remember this video an come back an every time it lowkey hurts the same even though I’ve seen it maybe 4 times now, cancer is hell man.
Dearest Dan, Like many others, I'm constantly thinking of you now. I was thinking of you this morning on my way out to work, then, in the train to work, I wanted to listen to a song and saw there was an update on your channel. I wasn't very happy when I saw the thumbnail. Even though I'm an atheist and don't believe in miracles, I keep hoping for a miracle and for a new video where we'll learn that you're feeling better. I'm so frustrated knowing you're not well and that there's nothing I or anyone else can do. I really hope that you'll feel better by some miraculous way. If it's not the case, then you already know you're our HERO. We all love you and are grateful you have changed our lives. If you're at the end of your journey here, then I sincerely hope you know we're all WITH you and that we care very, very, very deeply for you and your family. I don't want to write anything like "you have had a good life" or whatever, because I refuse to speak as if you were gone. I only wish we could all be there with you in the UK ; we can only accompany you in spirit, but we are with you 24/7, from all over the globe. Lots of LOVE.
CZcams recommended Dan's channel to me today and I found myself following his whole journey until this final video. I've recently been grieving my Mum's passing after an aggressive pancreatic tumour which spread to her lungs last year. She was gone within a month of her final diagnosis. Dan's story and will power to carry on and keep fighting has really moved me. What a fun character, he really seemed like someone who brought positivity into everyone's lives. This determination has given me a different perspective on life and how I need to live every day to the fullest, if not for my Mum, but Dan too. I can't help but find myself thinking about him throughout today and feeling quite sad, as if I knew him. His memorial service was quite emotional for me as a result of the loss of such an amazing person and past experience. Thank you Dan, for everything you did in the hardest time of your life. Not only have you helped me, but you have supported millions affected by cancer - with the number growing each day. The world will not forget you. - Sam
Just the ordinary Mom from the US again. Crying. I have no words. You are beyond brave, you are beyond courageous, you are beyond inspiring. You have changed every single one of us - we are all better human beings because of you. I think I can say that I speak for all of us when I say that we all look at life a little differently now. You did that. I’ll say it again: I am a better wife, mother, friend, teacher and everything else because you have given me your gift of grace and perseverance. God bless you, your beautiful wife, your parents and your family. We will all see you one day - I personally can’t wait to meet you. 💕
Ok Now I am bursting tears and this have happened last 1985 when my best friend died. I don't know if I can watch this to end. The end is so near now. I have seen this before it looks always same.
I want any of his friends and family to know I’ve never forgotten what such an inspirational guy he was and still is. He’s still alive for of us in our hearts and he always will be.
Dan, Blogging more isn't important, but you being comfortable is. Please take care of yourself and hold close your family. And know that you were loved and will live on in our memories. I will miss you bro. You are a hero to more people than you will ever know. Your Friend from across the pond. Greg
He just wants us to be informed. He's a good man, but i do agree that he should rest. His family might not want to watch these end of life videos in the future, but it is nice to have in case they do.
I work for Hospice currently, and I know what this means for you bro. I just want to let you know that I thank you for all the videos you have done. This is your time now. Lay your head back, and put your arm around your wife my man. This is the time for family and taking the personal time you need. Take it easy friend, as I feel this will be my last message to you. Sometimes I go a month or so before I comment or get around to you tube. From the heart, after losing my brother to cancer and spending our last days in a hospice bedroom changed my life and put me on a path that lead me into working with Hospice now. We temper ourselves in the fires of loss. It never gets any easier. And I lose people everyday of my life now. All the people I care for and help make comfortable leave. You would think a person gets use to it, but they don't. They just get better at managing the pain. I am very good at this now, but all the same I feel it in my heart and I give you an honest heart felt good bye. And I wish only the best to your family and friends. Your wife is going to take it the hardest. And it will change her forever on. I lost my wife back in 2005. My brother to cancer, and my father to heart attack. All within 4 months. So I know what she will be facing. Just know that no matter how much it hurts, we tend to come out of these things stronger and better equipped to help others after we have put ourselves back together. God Speed PeeWeeToms! Ty
Ty Blimey!!!!! I am shocked that you as a Hospice Nurse are giving up on him already!!!!!! Your Comment clearly proves that Hospice Nurses are shit and this is why I would NEVER want to go into a Hospice!!!! By the way, I am dying from Pulmonary Fibrosis and only have a few months to live!!!!!! As an Hospice Nurse you should NOT be predicting his death!!!!! You do NOT know him personally and you do NOT have access to his Medical Records. Oh and most important of all, you are NOT a Doctor!!!!!!!!!
Lorilew Lewis with all due respect, he was being honest and saying it like it is. I think if we embrace the truth and the facts, we will be more equipped to deal with them. If we sugar coat and have false hopes, that leads to disappointment and more pain usually.
Lorilew Lewis Dude, my mom is a hospice nurse and people with stage 4 cancer , once they go on hospice, it means they have accepted death and want to live out their last days as comfortable and stress free as possible.We don't need you negative energy here. I know you think you are protecting Dan, but hospice nurses have seen this story far too many times
He isn't assuming his death, Cancer takes its toll on a body, Peewee is in more pain than he has ever been, Hospice is also usually end life care, that is what it means, They want to make him as comfortable until he passes, It is sad, but is the fact of it, I lost my uncle to cancer within 4 months of him being diagnosed with it, it was the fastest moving disease i have ever seen, It makes people Skinny, frail, they feel sick, tired, and it hurts them, When cancer patients get to the point where they can no longer support themselves and the pain starts to get so bad, they call in hospice as end of life care, Blessings to PeeWee
Dan....please take whatever they can give you to keep you comfortable. And to Becca, and to your Mum and Dad, and Ben, and little Noah, and Matt on the road living his dream...please know that there are so many hearts out here that are with you right now. I know it changes nothing, but I hope it gives you at least a tiny ember of warmth at this awful time. Thank you all for allowing us to share in YOUR journey with Dan. We will continue to send prayers and light to you come what may. "“Come, Mr. Frodo!” he cried. “I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well. So up you get! Come on, Mr. Frodo dear! Sam will give you a ride. Just tell him where to go, and he’ll go.”" -- "The Return of the King, Book 6, Chapter 1
Dearest Dan, you don't have to say anything, keep your strength for you wife, mum, dad and family. Rest Dan let your mind stop thinking and remember you are loved by so many whom you never met. You are all in my prayers.
This quiet time is odd isn’t it. We don’t know him, haven’t met him, but we’re sad and fearing the very worst. I hope that he’s peaceful, surrounded by family and free of pain.
Richard Leyland hi he’s still with us he’s watching Harry Potter on itv and asked everyone not to worry about him. (We cant help it tho can we) His brother matt made the post for him on instagram.
I dont know what to write, Im sat here moaning because I have a cold....Pathetic!! Words cant explain just how brave you are, thank-you for being you. Much love to you, your mum and dad and your beautiful wife.
WaynesClips I feel the exact same way also have cold but especially today I will be mindful to not complain and will reach out show love as well kindness for Dan today.
Watching this is hard. Makes you appreciate life so much more. It's always the ones that deserve it the least that have to go through the toughest times. Rest in peace Dan.
What an absolute legend of a human being! Dan, you have been dealt some really shitty cards, and I am so sorry. However you have grabbed life by the horns and in turn touched the lives of so many people. Looking forward, you have two choices: you can either keep fighting this biatch of a disease with every ounce, or let the water consume you whole. And if you decide now is the time, that is okay. Everyone will be holding your hand and ready to say ta ta for now. You have far from lost. Because of you, a lot of us are ready wake up tomorrow and truly appreciate every second we have. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life xx
Sometimes people need permission to drift away because they feel so bad for the ones they're leaving behind, and your comment explains that perfectly. It's ok to decide when it's time to let go. Cancer shouldn't take that from you too.
My mom died of cancer. They could never find where it was. because it seemed to be everywhere, just like him. She was in so much pain the last few weeks :( I hope I never go like this. .I did have cancer, but they got it early. I was very afraid, I admit. God bless this man. Too young to pass
Its hard to watch you struggle to talk and try to communicate what's going or how you feel. I am so sorry my friend. I will continue to pray for you. Sending support and hugs with love from the US🇺🇸🙏🙏😢
Don’t know how I came here. But your video made me cry. I’m a nurse and I hope that you are surrounded by beloved people in your last hours. I will think of you and wish your soul a good journey. 💜
Our family just lost my wife's brother yesterday to cancer. Young lad, 24. Good man he was. These videos shed some light through a different perspective on this horrendous disease... May god rest your souls
Dan, don't be scared...people from everywere loves you. Our heart is one with yours...thank you for each minute you have spent with us... I love you, i respect you, you are a fantastic man!
Dan, I only found your channel the other day and you’ve already changed my life. Nobody knows how long we’re destined to be on this earth. Any one of us could leave it tomorrow. We all need to overlook the pointless things and be thankful for every day that we still have the gift of life. I hope they can get on top of the pain and you can continue to enjoy the precious company of your loved ones. ❤️
Same here! I discovered his channel like 2 months ago and I care about Dan so much now. It's such a unique perspective on life. Wouldn't wish this fate to anyone. To go from cheery and happy to super skinny and debilitated is such a smack in the face for us to appreciate life.
I was bedside holding my friend's hand when he passed from lung cancer 2 months ago and it really shook me up. I started searching CZcams for cancer videos and I stumbled on Dan's channel. It's been such an amazing journey to watch. My friend was given high dose of sleep meds because his lungs were filling with fluid and watching him gasp for air in his sleep is truly traumatizing. And just like that, his life ended. Dan's reach of influence is such an amazing thing though. So many people he's never met on another continent love him and are following him on his journey.
@@MrSpeedyAce My condolences, i'm from Germany and i found his channel about 2 months ago and i watched every one of it and now it's gonna be really hard to watch further but Dan i wish you the best for everything and take the time for your wonderful family
Rest and think happy thoughts. When I passed away for a few minutes, I saw a tunnel with the light at the end. I felt a moment of unconditional love, overwhelming joy, an abundance of open arms welcoming me, and I saw/heard my deceased family members out there in the light, which was a field of flowers. A voice told me, “I could either stay or move forward into the light.” I Spoke with him and asked him questions, but never questioned what was beyond the light because I knew what it was. It was Home. My Home that I would interpret as Heaven. I hope this makes your smile. And I hope that you get better. Just rest. Even fighters need to rest too. Think about all the happy memories you’ve had. I know it can be hard, but in the words of Claire Wineland, death is inevitable. We could all get struck by a meteor right now. So live in the moment and be proud of who you are and what you’ve become. You’ve touched many lives, including mine. So think about how proud you are of yourself and rest. Praying for you.
I have almost died several times in my life, accidents mostly but this last time about 10 years ago i got meningitis which caused a stroke, I wasn't expected to live through the night. I remember all these people around my bed in my dreams looking down at me and and like you say, overwhelming peace and joy. I won't say it was heaven, but I feel I was very near the " veil " :). Death is nothing to fear and even though we all end up there, I feel for this lad. I think his time is nearly up, but like I said, it's nothing to fear, think of it as like the next great adventure.
@@andrewhallam237 I've heard about people saying the same. They call it near death experience. I genuinely hope that it is true and not just an illusion.
You wrote the most amazing message. It kind of calmed me because I have a fear of dying. I love Dan and Claire for giving us such a joy and light into our everyday lives.
Alluring Bettas Very well said as many of us including me, have died and visited the next world. None of us are judged by what or who we believe in (religion). We are welcomed into an incredibly beautiful and peaceful world. I was sent back by my grandmother who gave me a gentle push and said,”It’s not your time child.”
I’m sooo sorry man! Your a good man! You fought hard. Nobody deserves this. Sorry it happened to you. You never know what’s beyond this life. Stay Strong, even though I never met you, I can still tell how good of a man you are. Sorry bro. 😭😭😭.
Dan, I check my phone so often, waiting to see your beautiful smile. I feel like a teenager waiting to hear from a friend. (It's been awhile, I'm 52. Haha) Thank you for JUST a glimpse of you, and family, you all are so amazing. Alabama, USA
I watch too many of these cancer vlogs, they're depressing but they teach me a lesson about not griping about your problems, which are ridiculously minor in comparison to the problems faced by people like PeeWee Toms. Of all the vlogs I have forced myself to watch the past few years, it is THIS fellow who most stands out in my mind; his intelligence, his awareness of the freight train heading straight towards him, his good humor through to the end. He was a prince. What a class act. I would like to give his folks in England a big hug and tell them about me, a stranger in California, who never met their son, but who thinks about him regularly, even four years after his brave death. RIP, PeeWee. What class.
Dearest Dan, it won’t be long now until you go through that brilliant, warm and loving light. No more pain, fear and suffering. This is not the end, my love, a new life awaits you and you will be surrounded by comfort, love, joy and peace unlike you have ever experienced before on this earth. We all love you, you beautiful, wonderful, remarkable man that has touched so many hearts and minds and inspired us all! We will never forget you and your legacy will live on, make no mistake about it! My thoughts too are with your family and friends at this terribly sad time.
only if Dan trusts in jesus rose bud , jesus is the light , and in him thier is no darkness at all .nbut if dan dies with out jesus he will be in outter darkness or hell.
Christ died for Our sins, why do you have to ruin it? I’m sorry but I completely disagree. Dan will going to and be accepted into this beautiful place no matter what he believes in! End of discussion.
You have inspired so many of us with your strength. So while I send positive thoughts to you and your family like normal. This time I am also sending them to the CZcams family and community you created. May we all support each other as well.
Aww Dan this is truly heartbreaking! How can I be sat here crying, watching a man I’ve never ever met and will never be blessed enough to meet. This just isn’t me! Well it wasn’t until I found pee wee Tom. I’ve been up all night checking for an update and hoping the worst hadn’t happened. So happy when I saw you pop in then, but the pain and struggle on you face is near on unbearable to watch. My heart and love and respect goes out to your mum n dad, wifey and family. You’ve touched so many people Dan, you’ll never know how many. There are thousands of us, ‘your pee wee Tom follower family’ out there and you’ve brought us altogether and we’re all wrapping our arms around you and showering you with love. We love you Dan, I’ll wear my hoody with pride and try and live by your words. Ta Ta bye bye 🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xx
This hurt so much. I lost my mother 4 months ago to cancer. I wanted to believe she would make it, that one day I'd wake up and call her, and she would sound strong and alive again. She didn't answer the call. My heart breaks for every cancer patient and their families that lost their fight.
My whole life I’ve lived with crippling fears and anxieties and watching you has helped me see what it means to be strong and get through life and how to face the unexpected. Truly you are an incredible person
Same here, crippling social anxiety and I just hide away at home just existing and moaning about my life, I wish I had even an ounce of the strength that Daniel has, I'd be out there fighting against my anxiety if I did.
Honestly we’re all fighting the same struggle the circumstances are different but the solution is the same. You just have to keep fighting against your demons and live life to the fullest. What’s the point in worrying? Dan was living a normal life until he was first diagnosed. If he had wasted all the years before worrying would he have been in a better situation today? Nope..
This hurts to see but its amazing that he was still able to make videos and talk about it. I dont have cancer but I hope that I can leave this world with as much strength and dignity as this man. RIH ....rest in heaven.
Its hard to say good bye to someone . So i'll just say these few words, I've felt a love build up for you as i'm sure many of us have. It feels weird to say that to someone i'd never met but the fight you've put up over this hard journey is what being a pure hearted person and fighter is all about. I hope you get as much time as you need spend with your beautiful family and wife. The lasting impression you've left and will carry over for many many years is that no matter how hard it gets you gotta fight and to never give up. If this disease takes you then know you will never be known as anything less than the bravest of brave and of the most loving. You will live on in our hearts I will never be able to thank you for opening up not only my heart but also the hundreds of thousands of others. we'll keep fighting for you, Not only to rid the world of this sickening disease but hopefully one day all pain and suffering. we will do our best to spread love and support those who need it. All our love to you Dan, rest easy.
Get some rest, Dan. I know you’re surrounded by love. We should all be that fortunate. I do hope you get stronger and can go home and enjoy being a married man ! In the event that you can’t make it home I want to say thank you for sharing your journey. You have shown nothing but bravery. I am praying for you and your entire family, Dan. Love you.
Clearly you don’t know palliative care vs hospice care. He’s been under palliative care, and now hospice at the latter part of the disease process. He’s been open with the fact that he knows he won’t survive this, and wants to chart his journey to help others. A positive attitude is paramount. Be sure to document your doom and gloom attitude when one of your family members gets terminal cancer, poida.
I've never actually commented on one of your videos before but now I feel the need to. I've been following your journey for a little while now and it's been so inspiring, I, thank you for sharing your humanity with us, Dan! I want to share a quote that articulates you and your journey: "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their ways out the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.
I followed your journey right till the earthly end. I still think about you rather often, you were so determined to stay, I honestly thought you would. You had surgery then went and çlimbing about, such strength. I hope it's lovely wherever your spirit is, many of us told you that you'd not be forgotten and you've not been. I hope all your loved ones are doing well, I'm sure you're terribly missed but I'm sure they also have many happy memories of you to provide some smiles as well.
If any of Dan's family and especially his wife ever reads this comment or anybody's comment i and many others would would like to say thank you for sticking by Dan through thick and thin on his continuing battle. It would be comforting . What your family and Dan together have achieved is amazing. You may not know us personally but we do care alot. Dan has touched the lives of so many people and will do to the end of time.
Enjoy your beautiful family brother. Know you've impacted so many people in such a positive way. Rest up. much love from Canada. Praying for strength for you and your amazing family
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Do you know how many children and adults alike you’ve inspired during this journey? You truly are a super-hero and I need you to know that. There are hundreds of thousands of people that have watched your journey and your strength and passion are inspiring. We all appreciate you for documenting your fight with cancer and it has changed my outlook on life for the better. Keep staying strong, my man.
When you get really tired, just sleep through it. Don't struggle for us. Go to sleep when you are ready. Sweetest dreams.
Sweet comment x
Exactly
He's dead now :(
@David McCormick I don't think you understand what they meant.
@David McCormick Might want to take a second look at the comment...
Dan, I know you passed on 3 years ago but as a young man in my 30’s that has battled stage 2 brain tumors, your spirit and videos have helped many people. Please may you rest in peace.
God bless you. I hope you feel better man.
@@GHx5 thanks! 6 years in remission but still get nervous at my yearly mri’s
@@carking1043 Hope you wont get this shit anymore. Cancer is the worst thing you can have... Now technoblade joined "Die by cancer "gang". Unfortunatley...
I hate cancer. It took my mom's life, and my grandma's life. I also got cancer 4 years ago but they caught it in time. I just hate to hear when pain meds no longer control their pain . so awful
Hang in there, brother.
It is heartbreaking to see such a handsome young man lose his battle with cancer.I am 73 and have survived breast cancer.His story makes me so grateful that I am still here.
God bless you
That's just a nicer way of saying thank god he's not me. Pretty selfish.
@@MlSTERSANDMAN what an odd remark,so if you outlive someone you are selfish rather than grateful that you are still alive.
I wish you the best 💜💜
Hi
He died a week after this. I never knew this man and I’m 4 years late but god bless this man….rest in power Daniel you deserve it 🕊️ 🖤😪
So what he needs is basically what aubrey de grey is working on. search him and learn. then when you can, funnel money to age reversal medical research. it is needed to fix cancer.
I just wanted to let Daniel and his family know what a impact Daniels story has had on my life. I'm a 58 yr old lady that has lived my life in isolation and loneliness, but watching Daniel has convinced me that I need to turn my life around and I have volunteered to go to N.Carolina in 2 weeks to help with the hurricane cleanup and I have found a church a hour away that helps the homeless in Indianapolis, by providing food and shelter. I'm also going to Holland Michigan to learn how to start a chapter of the Love Sews ministry that sent you your lovely quilt. I realize now that we should never live our lives alone and fearful and through you Daniel, I've learned the love we take is equal to the love we make and you and your wonderful family will always be in my prayers...thank you, for teaching me that it's never to late to just live your life to make the world a better place.
Lisa good luck on your journey,God Bless
What a lovely comment. Best wishes in your new adventures, Lisa J. It's good to know Dan's story has made impacts like this on people. I am his sister in law, and will pass on your story when I next see him.
@@pesto.frankie Thanks,was just getting my camper ready for North Carolina and will be packing my Don't give up hoodie and that hoodie will be worn like a super hero cape to remind me that I have nothing to fear other than wasting these last years of my life.
Loneliness is a very dark place to be.. I’m so happy for you that you found the light. There are still bad people out there but please focus that light on all the good souls such as other “Dans”. God Bless on your new chapter of living.
Good luck :)
My heart aches for you. It really pains me to see you like this, but I applaud your bravery. You have shared your journey and - as we can see - it has not been easy and required so much strength!
I hope this gets seen by Dan I know it would mean a lot to him.
The Perez Hilton I just watched your video and you’re so right and I love to see another human being truly happy for someone else! 💕💕💕
HecateThe Yes we do and we understand he may use his phone in there if well enough. There is a commenter here who works in a hospice and knows that patients are not always in there for good, they can be in and out of hospices, and even in certain rare cases they leave and go in remission. One can only hope Dan makes it longer. We very much hope he is spending his time with family, but if he feels well enough to look at any messages then of course people will naturally want to share them.
Dan hasn't gone anywhere yet, please don't give up on him. Don't give in, don't give up.
Perez. Dan is a hero in all our eyes. Xxxx
And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make. Dan, you are loved by so many......
Love that song...a most fitting quote...beautiful ❤
True. Beautiful, sad....but so true.
When my mum passed the amount of pure love was amazing ...its all that matters
linoleum Bonypart my mom passing was the most loving experience of my life. I’m so thankful for hospice.
@@skkitt2 mine too ...difficult to put into words ...
I think of you often, Dan. You live on! 💡💡💡💡💡
I do too. Dan, wherever you are, I know you're looking down on us. Your family, your friends and everyone you touched while documenting your journey. You helped me cope with death at a time when my anxiety and fears were at their worst, and I, along with so many others, are forever grateful to have been given the chance to get to know you ❤❤❤
Never forgotten
Still remembered dan!
Me too Perez. Often find myself back on his videos. He was a truly inspirational man.
❤️
Rest easy, mate. Where ever this takes you, we're all thinking of you.
James Seaford Well said.
Well put
Your sharing your cancer journey is hugely appreciated Dan, you are a true inspiration and I for one will remember.
Roger Bailey agreed
Dan is definitely touching peoples hearts and making his mark around the world, amazing brave bloke,a life not wasted , we are all a visit to the doctors / phone call away from this , Dan demonstrates how your life can change in the blink of a eye and how precious it is
Ditto x
@@gedman9527 Well said...
You and your incredible story has helped so many to see cancer and want to fight it’s devastating effects. We will be watching your videos and continuing to the causes your directive points too. You are the BEST DAN A MARVEL🦖&🧜♀️&😺
I don't normally post but I can see you getting weaker and weaker and I watched my dad go through this two years ago when he passed of lung cancer. Please take this precious time and spend it with your family. Don't put too much pressure on yourself in regards to youtube. You've helped others so much more then you realise already and your amazing legacy will live on for sure. Take the very best care of yourself from here on out. You're in my prayers. Xxxxx
I agree with Dani Ella... Focus on your "Familam" and spend as many quality hours with them as possible, the most important people in your life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and may you feel peace and comfort during your remaining time here, before your next journey starts!
I' also have never commented, but I'm following his "journey", especially lately and it hurts. I agree on everything you've said. I can't imagine how all this must be for someone in his position or his family... take care, Dan! Take care! All the best from Germany!
That must of been heartbreaking sweetheart...Something you never get over
@@XXXSHARONOXXX yes it's heart breaking watching someone die of cancer. My heart goes out to everyone affected by it. X
This was his last video, it breaks my heart him saying he wants to ho home when hes better and that he'll update us later, but it never happened. Cherish every moment because you dont know when will be your last, life takes you by surprise and doesnt wait, live your life now. RIP Dan you were a true fighter and so positive.
He actually made another video after this one..his family must have deleted it…
@@vinniepaul182 Yes I was sad to see that. I thought it was a fitting last video as he was still showing his humor by joking about his tumor looking like a nipple....perhaps the visual was just too much. 😭
@@vinniepaul182 Yes, where Dan said he would never be able to eat anything, ever again. And that he kept thinking the cancer was a third nipple. It's a shame they took it down, because Dan wanted to show everything, the good and the bad.
@@BradleyCoopertest I can understand the pain it brings them, especially that one. But you’re right, dan would have wanted it left up..
@@vinniepaul182 CZcams deleted it
Because of Dan's sharing his personal dying process with us, I feel he's birthed a family of over 140,000 brothers and sisters. Let's all send him our love and appreciation for being such an amazing example of how to live fully until the very last drop. Dan,may the angels of heaven surround you with grace and ease from now until eternity~
Well said Julian..
Thank you for this. Well said. He has gained a huge extended family throughout this world!
He is alive, this is just rude.
I'm not being rude,I'm being real. I pray the angels of heaven will surround you. And may you live a life full of grace and ease~
We are all here for you Daniel. We care so much.
Your amazingly strong dan. You are not doing this on your own we are all here. And your man dad and wife.
we are and we do ❤️
Yes yes. Sending all love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love and light buddy. Be strong. Take care!
Yes we do Dan.. Every step buddy x
I've been following you for the last few months and have never commented, I've never known what to say, but I think I should before it is to late. I'm a 27 your old man from New Zealand who suffers from depression and anxiety You have inspired me so much the way you have lived in these last few months you've fit so much life in. You helped give me courage to propose to my partner, I was worried about having a baby now my baby is here I just enjoy every moment with her. You're light will shine bright and I'll have you in my heart and head for the rest of my life, I love you mate.
Such a lovely comment, Dan has helped without doubt thousands of his followers by his caring, sharing attitude to life, it's heartbreaking to see him suffering. Love you Dan.....
depression and anxiety is BS! Get over it and grow up. cancer is real dude
@@ekfromaz1 be mindful of your words at this time
Eric Knopf don’t be an asshole. People can say whatever they want. You are pathetic really. You obv have some issues too

Dan I have fallen in love with you, Becci and your family. I am sending my prayers and love to you all. You are a remarkable person Dan. xox
I was diagnosed with epilepsy last year during lockdown, I lost my job and driving license and as the year went on I got more and more depressed! I was at a point where I wanted to kill myself I didn’t want to live anymore. Then I came across Dan and he made me realise how selfish I am for even considering suicide. You saved my life Dan thank you. What a beautiful human.
I hope you're doing okay
Much Love to you Adam ❤
Awww Adam nothing is worth that. Your not selfish it just changes your whole life my mother has epilepsy and she was extremely depressed. I am so glad you watched his video and I hope things turn around quickly for you. I promise we are better with you then without.
I'm really sorry about the epilepsy diagnosis.😔 It is life changing I do know. I was diagnosed at 17. I'm now 42. Each time I felt I got a little further from the diagnosis, it reared its head and reminded me who is in charge. I have had a good stretch of "normal" and I'm thankful. I pray you find a good med and get your license back and your freedom.and independence too. 💗💗
I love you guys. Thought you should know that. Dan is an inspiration.
I just found you tonight, Dan, and I can’t begin to to explain how your words and your honesty in this situation have moved me. It’s 4am as I type this and I wish I could do anything to bring you some sense of comfort, but I can only type on this phone from my room. From one human to another, I love you, buddy. You’ve given so many people strength and a better understanding through your example. If the weight of it all becomes too much to endure, you can put down the gloves, brother, and no one will think any less of you if you need this time for yourself. You’ve given enough to us. All the love, Dan. ❤️
Such a beautiful comment, made me cry 😥
❤
Very well put!
Beautiful words
Ok now I'm really bawling. It's not often I find such beautiful comments as I do on Dan's CZcams postings. You're a lovely person with a tender,caring heart Dylan,don't ever change or let the world harden you sweet thing
These videos are so sad. This world is a very sad place. That's why we need to be kind to each other. We never know when it could be our last day here. I want people to remember me as a kind, gentle man, who loves his family and always gives more than he receives. You will go down in internet history as an inspiration to many many many people who need someone to relate to while going through such a hard experience. Much love man.
Mark H Great words Mark.
This is heartbreaking. I dont want you to be in pain anymore mate. Thinking of you always x
❤ 😢 👏 ❤
My dad once told me "If you end up in hospice, you're probably not coming out" and that has stuck with me ever since. May Dan rest in peace.
Hospice care is designed as end of life care, providing comfort and not treatment
That’s what it is lol. Somewhere comfortable to die.
Probably? If it's hospice you're definitely not coming out.
"If you end up in a coffin, you're probably not coming out"
Hospice is end of life care so yes.
My mother died of metastatic melanoma in 2012... Still feels like yesterday... Those summer days when I used to wake her up, opening the window and saying "such a beautiful day today huh?" Of course she couldn't speak at that point anymore... But her eyes clearly said "where is this sun, that you all see... That endless blue, that used to be"... Her journey was one of a kind.. The type only, people like you my friend travel and have travelled ... You are indeed very special... Cancer is a journey and it leads to humbleness, wisdom and preparation... It humbles US around... Us STUPID mortals who fight and argue on which smartphone brand is better... We who constantly look on how to drop our body fat percentage lower and lower just for the sake of others.. To look at us and we proudly be like "Hah! I'm the center of attention"... We, stupid mortals become humble at the sight of your eyes and the sound of your voice...
Wisdom... Anyone can notice how differently people like you speak and see things... Simple words, expressions yet put together in such way that touch your soul, that make you think... Think and accept how thin is the line that devides this bed, the one we don't want to get out from when the morning alarm is ringing , and that other we wish we only had the strength again to get out from...
And preparation ... My friend Dan... I'm not a man of God... I barely even remember myself at church ever... But I do believe in one thing... What I saw with my mother... And I can say this... After 6 months of being in the most brutal, inhuman agonising and horrific state a human being can possibly be in.. After 6 months through hell.. I do believe
It feels like heaven, when your eyes finally close... When you see no clouds... Just the light up above...
Relax... And prepare! :)
I'm just a nobody... But still I want to say you have my love and respect,
Cheers buddy
Android is better than Apple iOS
I too lost my mum to stomach cancer in 2012 and just when I thought life was slowly getting better i recently just lost my dad to lung cancer so i tottally agree with you we should be so grateful for what we have because you never know what it's like until your as unfortunate as this poor guy so live love and be happy and grateful for each and every day
Gosh this made me cry,such a beautiful comment,many respects to you x
This is the most beautiful comment I've ever seen on CZcams.
NoName Available So beautifully written. You are such a wise soul. You’re right we spend so much time worrying about stupid things and taking life for granted. We don’t realize just how good life is until we experience tragedy. It just seems so unfair that it happens to such beautiful people while others who are not so good get off Scott free. Dan is one of the sweetest most bravest persons I know and he has touched the hearts and souls of so many.
Hey man! You are incredible man! You've touched a lot of people's lives and you have helped me view life in a different light! I will never forget you! x

Still thinking of you dan x
This was a hard one. Even though he told us what to expect I kept hoping for more and better days. Rest easy brave soul.
"Rest easy brave soul".....I love that
This was 8 days before his death.
What a profound journey we all take.
Dan.... no more worrying about keeping every one informed.. now is the time for peace and comfort. Surround yourself with those who love you dearly. Love to you and your wonderful family. X
damn Anita, you already killed him! He will get better,
aleterra stop it!
aleterra, we all want him to get better...he is not going to come out of this. Sorry but it's the truth. And no, he's not going to read this, he is too sick.
my father couldnt even keep his eyes open, let alone make a voice to speak when he was in his finals day in hospice, i know exactly where hes at right now, the extreme fatigue from the drugs and metabolic collapse. hes dying. hes surrounded by family, they talk to the doctors, and he knows whats up, hes in denial of it, which is understandable.. a few more days maybe..
@@aleterra No he won't unfortunately!
Dan, you just hang in as long as you, can but when it gets too much… Don’t fight it, just relax your body and go to sleep. And when you close your eyes, remember that there are thousands of people who care about you, love you and have been inspired by you. But something tells me that you will once again, surprise everyone, and come around the corner better on the other side. You are the strongest person I have ever “known.” It is an honour to be able to join you in your journey. Much love, Kymmie and Blake Porter, from Ontario Canada
😢😢
You’re an amazing man, it’s so upsetting to see you struggle. I also imagine you must be scared. It’s impossible to find words to comfort you accept to say that you are not alone. You have a wonderful family and hundreds and thousands of people who love you and are with you through your struggles. That said death is a lonely place. The truth is we come into this world alone and we leave it alone. And we will all leave it. Who knows what is on the other side. In truth I don’t think it matters. My belief if what matters is how you have lived this life,here on earth and if that is the thing to be judged by, you have excelled in every way. You have inspired and touched people’s hearts, made them reevaluate their lives and appreciate what is truly important. You are a saint my dear friend and your wonderful legacy will never be forgotten. Love and peace x
What a fighter! Such an amazing man! Thank you Dan for everything you have done and you keep doing for others! You have helped so many... your story and videos touch the deepest parts of human soul.
Hey man... You might not see this comment, you have a lot. I watch music throughout the day at work. I came across one of your videos, and I was hooked, and instantly brought to tears. Because you know man, I've taken life for granted. I didn't tell my parents I loved them enough. I treated my girlfriend unfairly at times without merit because I was having a '' bad day ''. But you've touched my soul. I sit here at 28 years old, healthy, with a good job, a life so far in front of me. You're sitting in a hospital bed, and I complained that I was too tired to even work out. I have that luxury, you don't. I don't know you, but I have love for your words, and you as a person. You didn't ask for this, and now you live with it. I wish I could take your pain away. Thanks for all of this. Sincerely, your quickest, biggest fan.
how do u get a girlfriend their impossible 2 get bro
@@Adam-wc9eg You stop thinking of another person as a thing to obtain ;) Seriously though, all in due time. Focus on making yourself better, and the rest will follow.
Man... nice words, I think I feel the same. This tears are because of how proud I am of this incredible person.
It is amazing how much you can care about someone you've never met. Watching you share your journey...the ups and downs...your beautiful wife and family...you feel like a part of my family. Dan...you are so loved..all of you are. Rest and let hospice do their work. So much more to say but I will stick with thank you. Thank you for changing my life with your humour, your openness, your love, your determination. My heart and my thoughts are with you all ❤ Love You Long Time❤
Tracy Ogden
Lovely sentiment.. I feel the same way too .. also about the lovely Emily . I felt like Id lost a family member when she passed .. I'm not sure I could be as brave as Dan .. he's truly amazing !
@@susanfagan2727 I've been full of tears today. Dan is an amazing man. Big Hugs Susan❤
Tracy Ogden thanks Tracy you too x
So sad that you are struggling. You were the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. I am not religious, but I did say a little prayer for you. Hope that hospice can get you more comfortable so you can enjoy some more good days. Love to you and your fam.
Dan, I massively regret being a lurker and not commenting while you were still posting. I followed your story through to your passing and your spirit has just stuck in my mind ever since. I’ll come back on and rewatch your videos now and then. Now going through my first death of a close one through cancer, and with it happening so horrifically quick, I’m comforted coming back to your videos and what you shared with the world. Your documentation of end of life is so valuable, and deeply touching. I’ll keep using the lessons you so willingly shared with us and try to spread more of that joy and spirit. For all of us fighting battles against horrors in life, we won’t give in, we won’t give up ❤
You know the truth, Dan. I'm not going to tell you anything you don't already know. So let me just send you Love, which is the most profound prayer of all. It's in your breath and in the air around you. Float in the light and rise. You are and always will be alive and free.
My partner and I have been following your journey from the start. I am the same age as you and my partner is 28. We have 2 children who are both under 10. Watching someone slowly die from cancer brings out many emotions. At first, I didn't want to watch as part of me thought this feels a bit wrong as we don't personally know you and what your going through is a very private ordeal.
This sounds a little selfish considering where you are now, but since watching your videos many of our bad lifestyle habits have changed. Watching you has taught us, (and many others I am sure) that life is precious and to enjoy it as much as you can.
The name Peeweetoms will live on as someone who is Courageous, Strong and Determined.
I have total repsect for you and thank you for sharing your journey so far.
N Parker this is what I love to hear :) it doesn’t matter whether or not you’ve had close dealings with cancer or not... Dan is making a difference to so many people’s lives x
I am a second year medical student and I just want to say, because of you I have chosen to enter the field of oncology with emphasis on cancer research. My niece had lung cancer, and after that I didn't think I could do it. But the way you have inspired, I'd give anything to help people like you live quality years past a diagnosis. Thank you, Dan. Sending hugs from across the pond.
That is so lovely :)
Much respect, Flower Queen. I hope your career is long and successful!
Wow that is amazing!!Dan has touched so many lives!!! His legacy will live on thru out the world!!!
@Flower Queen If only you understood how it really works. Cancer re$earch (dollar signs for emphasis) is a billion dollar industry that thrives on people's suffering and death. Even though there are more effective treatments that exist, they are not available to most people and you must qualify for a trial to even try them out. And when they do enter the market, they are not covered by most people's insurance due to their ridiculous cost, for example, one treatment of Neulasta (DIY chemo at home kit) costs $1,500! This is all in the name of re$earch. So most cancer victims just endure radiation and chemo like they have for decades to varying results. I doubt you will make a difference but I hope you do. Nobody should have to suffer like Dan did.
@@evilubuntu9001 You don't even know what Neulasta is. It's not a chemo drug. I should know as I had many injections 17 years ago.
He did not deserve to go like this. RIP. Thanks for sharing your story. You have helped so many people in so many ways.
Dan you are an incredible man and I feel honoured to have met you on CZcams I'm so sorry that you have to go through this difficult journey but you have showed such great strength and stamina and you have fought hard and always with a smile on your face, people like you are rare and precious, may God bless you my friend ❤️
“My cancer story” was the first video of his that I watched. Somebody sent it to me because he was so delightful. His family will love this later. czcams.com/video/XO1KvYtPfws/video.html
So beautifully said! You have managed to say what so many have struggled with. Thank you for your sensitivity and kindness.
Dan I know you want to live as long as possible. Just know we all love you and when you can't go anymore we will understand. No one wants to see you suffer in pain and be sick. You have fought a hard fight and done so much in a short time. Your wings await you to take you to your next destination. Then you will be able to watch over us. Love you long time Bro
Dan I really want the outcome to be what you want it to be. We are alike I would never give up just like you don't. However I pray with all my heart that IF you cannot overcome this cancer that you seamlessly move on to everlasting life. I pray that an Arch angel comes for you so you experience the sheer joy so many people have seen on the faces of people who were escorted to the next phase by angelic beings,saints or members of their own family. I pray that Jesus himself comes for you because your kindness has taught us so much. You did so many beautiful deeds on this earth, you gave lessons in humanity and you gave hope!! I love you my friend even if we never met.
Well said , ❤️
Ken Williamson 100% In agreement ♥️😥🙂I personally have had more sadness in the past 2 yrs of my life, I don’t want to lose you my online brother and laugh maker and reassured and bring me up when I’m down.~~~~~YOU R MY private personal SUPER HUMAN HERO DAN!!!!!!!!!
Do what You Need to do darlin. My love and respect and thanks will go on forever!!!!!!!!!!!!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😥
Beautiful said.!
Dan, you’ve been such an inspiration and a staple of bravery. Don’t ever forget that. You’ve fought to the end, even at your weakest and your optimism shaking. You’re already an angel on earth. Now you can be an angel watching over your family. You’re a warrior, Dan, and you’ll pass as one. We love you. 💙
No words, only respect and admiration.
Well said...
those of you watching this, appreciate every day you have that isnt one spent in agony like this man. Dont take life for granted because it can change in an instant.
czcams.com/video/JuLsL3_eBWw/video.html
Very true
Hey Dan, I'm praying that you are comfortable and pain-free. If only prayers and love could perform a miracle, you wouldn't be this unwell. Take time to spend with your wife, mother, and father. Thank you for all you have done to spread the word about cancer awareness. Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank you for being our friend. I have 2 regrets. One, not finding your channel months earlier, and two -- and the biggest regret -- is that I never had the opportunity to meet you face-to-face. I know you would have been a positive role model, advocate, and above all friend. You are someone I will NEVER forget. Okay, I'm going to stop crying now....and just say, we love you.
Hi Dan, my heart breaks for you and your family, thank you so much for allowing us all to be part of this journey. You are an amazing human being and we all love you so much. Constantly on mind.
Lovely comment.
Ditto
This is such an on-point comment and it reflects all I would wish to say, too. Dan's account of his journey has been brave, inspiring, profoundly moving and I am very privileged indeed to have shared them on this platform. Sending lots of concern, respect and love.
Oh Dan, most of us will go with nothing to show, you have left a shining legacy of courage. Dan, you can lay down your sword and shield and hit the stars. I admire you so much. My love to you , mum and dad and the Mrs. xxxxx
Well said the bloke is a legend
Oh Dan. The hospice will definitely help. Best wishes and sending all my love x
I just discovered this man a few hours ago and I am absolutely gobsmacked at how poised he was through all of this. Cancer is a piece of shit, but we should all hope we could deal with it like he did. Rest in peace you absolute boss of a human
My Dan the MAN ! my HERO, your a caterpillar now in a cocoon stage, soon your beautiful wings will spread, and your journey will take you flying high, over the rainbow where no more tears and pain will be. You are teaching many so many things about life, how short and sweet it can be. LOVE YOU
😢
So awesome - butterfly analogy - love this comment
That was beautiful what you said. I wanted to say something like this, but I didn't want to say anything suggestive of an outcome less than hopeful. I really hope Dan's wife and his family read your comment. Can't believe we're all at this moment, but we're sharing this with him. Not many people get to leave this life with so many people that they never met, giving him so much support and love.
Well said Susan.
That’s a beautiful thing to say.
“The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long.”

Pete Orr that’s beautiful.
Pete Orr the sad thing is, it wasn't even half, dan was only in his 30's and people are known to live over their 90's.
Actually true, looking at stars.
Beautiful x
I’m in tears...utterly heartbreaking...I’ve been a silent lurker of your channel...hoping for a miracle...what an amazing person you are...thinking of you❤️
Same :(
Chelsea Clare , Amazing and beautiful are the words I would choose to describe Daniel and his family. So upset to see him like this.
So, I came here from the video with the 11 millions views. Watching this video made me tear up. I don't even know WHO he is - but seeing him go from the cheerful man he was, to this, literally made me start crying. Man, cancer just sucks.
I remember findin this channel 2-3 years ago an absolutely bawlin to this video, it was extremely depressin to see him go from bein so cheerful straight to this where he was extremely drained. Every once in a while I remember this video an come back an every time it lowkey hurts the same even though I’ve seen it maybe 4 times now, cancer is hell man.
Exactly the same thing happened to me
Dearest Dan,
Like many others, I'm constantly thinking of you now. I was thinking of you this morning on my way out to work, then, in the train to work, I wanted to listen to a song and saw there was an update on your channel. I wasn't very happy when I saw the thumbnail. Even though I'm an atheist and don't believe in miracles, I keep hoping for a miracle and for a new video where we'll learn that you're feeling better. I'm so frustrated knowing you're not well and that there's nothing I or anyone else can do. I really hope that you'll feel better by some miraculous way. If it's not the case, then you already know you're our HERO. We all love you and are grateful you have changed our lives. If you're at the end of your journey here, then I sincerely hope you know we're all WITH you and that we care very, very, very deeply for you and your family. I don't want to write anything like "you have had a good life" or whatever, because I refuse to speak as if you were gone. I only wish we could all be there with you in the UK ; we can only accompany you in spirit, but we are with you 24/7, from all over the globe. Lots of LOVE.
Theo this is beautiful and very heartfelt. you have a precious heart to care so much for Dan. god bless you.
Breaks my heart to see you like this. Just love for you
So true,really upsetting,poor Dan:(
Don't worry about updating us dan get rest and get better your health is far more important that us!!! Lots of love and positive energy
Exactly right! Xxx
Brian Minard yes!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 agreed.
CZcams recommended Dan's channel to me today and I found myself following his whole journey until this final video. I've recently been grieving my Mum's passing after an aggressive pancreatic tumour which spread to her lungs last year. She was gone within a month of her final diagnosis. Dan's story and will power to carry on and keep fighting has really moved me. What a fun character, he really seemed like someone who brought positivity into everyone's lives. This determination has given me a different perspective on life and how I need to live every day to the fullest, if not for my Mum, but Dan too. I can't help but find myself thinking about him throughout today and feeling quite sad, as if I knew him. His memorial service was quite emotional for me as a result of the loss of such an amazing person and past experience.
Thank you Dan, for everything you did in the hardest time of your life. Not only have you helped me, but you have supported millions affected by cancer - with the number growing each day. The world will not forget you.
- Sam
God bless your Mom, God bless Dan and God bless YOU ❤️💯
Been there. This will change your life. Been there done that. I promise you x
Just the ordinary Mom from the US again. Crying. I have no words. You are beyond brave, you are beyond courageous, you are beyond inspiring. You have changed every single one of us - we are all better human beings because of you. I think I can say that I speak for all of us when I say that we all look at life a little differently now. You did that. I’ll say it again: I am a better wife, mother, friend, teacher and everything else because you have given me your gift of grace and perseverance. God bless you, your beautiful wife, your parents and your family. We will all see you one day - I personally can’t wait to meet you. 💕
Wow. This comment gave me goosebumps. Well said.
Wouldn't he be the funniest and most wonderful person to open the pearly gates to you?
melissa saint Would love nothing more than that! And I agree!
Ok Now I am bursting tears and this have happened last 1985 when my best friend died. I don't know if I can watch this to end. The end is so near now. I have seen this before it looks always same.
Hugs, darling man. Hugs you and your family. Hope they can help you ease your pain. 😔
You have made me want to become a better person and live better. God bless you, we love you
I want any of his friends and family to know I’ve never forgotten what such an inspirational guy he was and still is. He’s still alive for of us in our hearts and he always will be.
Dan,
Blogging more isn't important, but you being comfortable is.
Please take care of yourself and hold close your family.
And know that you were loved and will live on in our memories.
I will miss you bro.
You are a hero to more people than you will ever know.
Your Friend from across the pond.
Greg
Well said Greg. God bless.
He just wants us to be informed. He's a good man, but i do agree that he should rest. His family might not want to watch these end of life videos in the future, but it is nice to have in case they do.
I work for Hospice currently, and I know what this means for you bro. I just want to let you know that I thank you for all the videos you have done. This is your time now. Lay your head back, and put your arm around your wife my man. This is the time for family and taking the personal time you need.
Take it easy friend, as I feel this will be my last message to you.
Sometimes I go a month or so before I comment or get around to you tube.
From the heart, after losing my brother to cancer and spending our last days in a hospice bedroom changed my life and put me on a path that lead me into working with Hospice now. We temper ourselves in the fires of loss.
It never gets any easier. And I lose people everyday of my life now. All the people I care for and help make comfortable leave.
You would think a person gets use to it, but they don't. They just get better at managing the pain. I am very good at this now, but all the same I feel it in my heart and I give you an honest heart felt good bye.
And I wish only the best to your family and friends.
Your wife is going to take it the hardest. And it will change her forever on.
I lost my wife back in 2005. My brother to cancer, and my father to heart attack. All within 4 months.
So I know what she will be facing. Just know that no matter how much it hurts, we tend to come out of these things stronger and better equipped to help others after we have put ourselves back together.
God Speed PeeWeeToms!
Ty
Ty Blimey!!!!! I am shocked that you as a Hospice Nurse are giving up on him already!!!!!! Your Comment clearly proves that Hospice Nurses are shit and this is why I would NEVER want to go into a Hospice!!!! By the way, I am dying from Pulmonary Fibrosis and only have a few months to live!!!!!! As an Hospice Nurse you should NOT be predicting his death!!!!! You do NOT know him personally and you do NOT have access to his Medical Records. Oh and most important of all, you are NOT a Doctor!!!!!!!!!
Blessings to you, Ty.
Lorilew Lewis with all due respect, he was being honest and saying it like it is. I think if we embrace the truth and the facts, we will be more equipped to deal with them. If we sugar coat and have false hopes, that leads to disappointment and more pain usually.
Lorilew Lewis Dude, my mom is a hospice nurse and people with stage 4 cancer , once they go on hospice, it means they have accepted death and want to live out their last days as comfortable and stress free as possible.We don't need you negative energy here. I know you think you are protecting Dan, but hospice nurses have seen this story far too many times
He isn't assuming his death, Cancer takes its toll on a body, Peewee is in more pain than he has ever been, Hospice is also usually end life care, that is what it means, They want to make him as comfortable until he passes, It is sad, but is the fact of it, I lost my uncle to cancer within 4 months of him being diagnosed with it, it was the fastest moving disease i have ever seen, It makes people Skinny, frail, they feel sick, tired, and it hurts them, When cancer patients get to the point where they can no longer support themselves and the pain starts to get so bad, they call in hospice as end of life care, Blessings to PeeWee
Dan....please take whatever they can give you to keep you comfortable. And to Becca, and to your Mum and Dad, and Ben, and little Noah, and Matt on the road living his dream...please know that there are so many hearts out here that are with you right now. I know it changes nothing, but I hope it gives you at least a tiny ember of warmth at this awful time. Thank you all for allowing us to share in YOUR journey with Dan. We will continue to send prayers and light to you come what may.

Well said. Love that you used this quote too
I’ve watched this video so many times. Watching his journey inspired me so much. You won’t be forgotten, Dan.
Dearest Dan, you don't have to say anything, keep your strength for you wife, mum, dad and family.
Rest Dan let your mind stop thinking and remember you are loved by so many whom you never met.
You are all in my prayers.
You truly are .🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
This quiet time is odd isn’t it. We don’t know him, haven’t met him, but we’re sad and fearing the very worst. I hope that he’s peaceful, surrounded by family and free of pain.
Richard Leyland hi he’s still with us he’s watching Harry Potter on itv and asked everyone not to worry about him. (We cant help it tho can we) His brother matt made the post for him on instagram.
@@Spicegirl1100 thank you for sharing 💘
@@Spicegirl1100 that's heartwarming to hear. Thanks for sharing ♥
Martine Dawnay I guess we just have to wait, we all know Dans situation is very bad. His family are upbeat and loving him best they can.
Yes I hear you Richard. It's wonderful we're all together in this
I dont know what to write, Im sat here moaning because I have a cold....Pathetic!!
Words cant explain just how brave you are, thank-you for being you.
Much love to you, your mum and dad and your beautiful wife.
WaynesClips I feel the exact same way also have cold but especially today I will be mindful to not complain and will reach out show love as well kindness for Dan today.
Watching this is hard. Makes you appreciate life so much more. It's always the ones that deserve it the least that have to go through the toughest times. Rest in peace Dan.
This breaks my heart you are a warrior sending strength and positivity your way ❤️
Yeah he's a stand up guy with a heart of gold. Warrior is the word.
What an absolute legend of a human being! Dan, you have been dealt some really shitty cards, and I am so sorry. However you have grabbed life by the horns and in turn touched the lives of so many people. Looking forward, you have two choices: you can either keep fighting this biatch of a disease with every ounce, or let the water consume you whole. And if you decide now is the time, that is okay. Everyone will be holding your hand and ready to say ta ta for now. You have far from lost. Because of you, a lot of us are ready wake up tomorrow and truly appreciate every second we have. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life xx
Great comment
Perfectly said
Sometimes people need permission to drift away because they feel so bad for the ones they're leaving behind, and your comment explains that perfectly. It's ok to decide when it's time to let go. Cancer shouldn't take that from you too.
You’ve touched my life Dan. ❤️
My mom died of cancer. They could never find where it was. because it seemed to be everywhere, just like him. She was in so much pain the last few weeks :( I hope I never go like this. .I did have cancer, but they got it early. I was very afraid, I admit. God bless this man. Too young to pass
Its hard to watch you struggle to talk and try to communicate what's going or how you feel. I am so sorry my friend. I will continue to pray for you. Sending support and hugs with love from the US🇺🇸🙏🙏😢
Thinkin about you all the time ❤
Don’t know how I came here. But your video made me cry.
I’m a nurse and I hope that you are surrounded by beloved people in your last hours. I will think of you and wish your soul a good journey. 💜
Ditto 😢
Our family just lost my wife's brother yesterday to cancer. Young lad, 24. Good man he was.
These videos shed some light through a different perspective on this horrendous disease...
May god rest your souls
Dan, don't be scared...people from everywere loves you. Our heart is one with yours...thank you for each minute you have spent with us... I love you, i respect you, you are a fantastic man!
Dan, you never gave up, always thinking of the positive.
We’re all with you Dan, even if we’re not in the room. Thousands upon thousands of us, wishing you well.
Yes we are!
Yes we are Always
The pain is over now, Dan. Safe journey, lad ♥
Dan, I only found your channel the other day and you’ve already changed my life.
Nobody knows how long we’re destined to be on this earth. Any one of us could leave it tomorrow.
We all need to overlook the pointless things and be thankful for every day that we still have the gift of life.
I hope they can get on top of the pain and you can continue to enjoy the precious company of your loved ones. ❤️
Same here! I discovered his channel like 2 months ago and I care about Dan so much now. It's such a unique perspective on life. Wouldn't wish this fate to anyone. To go from cheery and happy to super skinny and debilitated is such a smack in the face for us to appreciate life.
@@MrSpeedyAce You're so right
I was bedside holding my friend's hand when he passed from lung cancer 2 months ago and it really shook me up. I started searching CZcams for cancer videos and I stumbled on Dan's channel. It's been such an amazing journey to watch. My friend was given high dose of sleep meds because his lungs were filling with fluid and watching him gasp for air in his sleep is truly traumatizing. And just like that, his life ended. Dan's reach of influence is such an amazing thing though. So many people he's never met on another continent love him and are following him on his journey.
@@MrSpeedyAce My condolences, i'm from Germany and i found his channel about 2 months ago and i watched every one of it and now it's gonna be really hard to watch further but Dan i wish you the best for everything and take the time for your wonderful family
R3d_H0od Thanks mate 😊
Rest and think happy thoughts. When I passed away for a few minutes, I saw a tunnel with the light at the end. I felt a moment of unconditional love, overwhelming joy, an abundance of open arms welcoming me, and I saw/heard my deceased family members out there in the light, which was a field of flowers. A voice told me, “I could either stay or move forward into the light.” I Spoke with him and asked him questions, but never questioned what was beyond the light because I knew what it was. It was Home. My Home that I would interpret as Heaven. I hope this makes your smile. And I hope that you get better. Just rest. Even fighters need to rest too. Think about all the happy memories you’ve had. I know it can be hard, but in the words of Claire Wineland, death is inevitable. We could all get struck by a meteor right now. So live in the moment and be proud of who you are and what you’ve become. You’ve touched many lives, including mine. So think about how proud you are of yourself and rest. Praying for you.
Well said, friend
I have almost died several times in my life, accidents mostly but this last time about 10 years ago i got meningitis which caused a stroke, I wasn't expected to live through the night. I remember all these people around my bed in my dreams looking down at me and and like you say, overwhelming peace and joy. I won't say it was heaven, but I feel I was very near the " veil " :). Death is nothing to fear and even though we all end up there, I feel for this lad. I think his time is nearly up, but like I said, it's nothing to fear, think of it as like the next great adventure.
@@andrewhallam237 I've heard about people saying the same. They call it near death experience. I genuinely hope that it is true and not just an illusion.
You wrote the most amazing message. It kind of calmed me because I have a fear of dying. I love Dan and Claire for giving us such a joy and light into our everyday lives.
Alluring Bettas Very well said as many of us including me, have died and visited the next world. None of us are judged by what or who we believe in (religion). We are welcomed into an incredibly beautiful and peaceful world. I was sent back by my grandmother who gave me a gentle push and said,”It’s not your time child.”
I’m sooo sorry man! Your a good man! You fought hard. Nobody deserves this. Sorry it happened to you. You never know what’s beyond this life. Stay Strong, even though I never met you, I can still tell how good of a man you are. Sorry bro. 😭😭😭.
Dan, I check my phone so often, waiting to see your beautiful smile. I feel like a teenager waiting to hear from a friend. (It's been awhile, I'm 52. Haha) Thank you for JUST a glimpse of you, and family, you all are so amazing. Alabama, USA
I watch too many of these cancer vlogs, they're depressing but they teach me a lesson about not griping about your problems, which are ridiculously minor in comparison to the problems faced by people like PeeWee Toms. Of all the vlogs I have forced myself to watch the past few years, it is THIS fellow who most stands out in my mind; his intelligence, his awareness of the freight train heading straight towards him, his good humor through to the end. He was a prince. What a class act. I would like to give his folks in England a big hug and tell them about me, a stranger in California, who never met their son, but who thinks about him regularly, even four years after his brave death. RIP, PeeWee. What class.
Brought tears to my eyes reading your comment!!
Damn your changing our lives and don’t even know it man
Dearest Dan, it won’t be long now until you go through that brilliant, warm and loving light. No more pain, fear and suffering. This is not the end, my love, a new life awaits you and you will be surrounded by comfort, love, joy and peace unlike you have ever experienced before on this earth. We all love you, you beautiful, wonderful, remarkable man that has touched so many hearts and minds and inspired us all! We will never forget you and your legacy will live on, make no mistake about it! My thoughts too are with your family and friends at this terribly sad time.
only if Dan trusts in jesus rose bud , jesus is the light , and in him thier is no darkness at all .nbut if dan dies with out jesus he will be in outter darkness or hell.
Rose Budd beautifully said Rose..
Beautifully said
Christ died for Our sins Save yourself by shutting the hell up
Christ died for Our sins, why do you have to ruin it? I’m sorry but I completely disagree. Dan will going to and be accepted into this beautiful place no matter what he believes in! End of discussion.
You have inspired so many of us with your strength. So while I send positive thoughts to you and your family like normal. This time I am also sending them to the CZcams family and community you created. May we all support each other as well.
Aww Dan this is truly heartbreaking! How can I be sat here crying, watching a man I’ve never ever met and will never be blessed enough to meet. This just isn’t me! Well it wasn’t until I found pee wee Tom. I’ve been up all night checking for an update and hoping the worst hadn’t happened. So happy when I saw you pop in then, but the pain and struggle on you face is near on unbearable to watch. My heart and love and respect goes out to your mum n dad, wifey and family. You’ve touched so many people Dan, you’ll never know how many. There are thousands of us, ‘your pee wee Tom follower family’ out there and you’ve brought us altogether and we’re all wrapping our arms around you and showering you with love. We love you Dan, I’ll wear my hoody with pride and try and live by your words. Ta Ta bye bye 🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xx
Well said.
Beautifully said.
Beautiful comment
This hurt so much. I lost my mother 4 months ago to cancer. I wanted to believe she would make it, that one day I'd wake up and call her, and she would sound strong and alive again. She didn't answer the call. My heart breaks for every cancer patient and their families that lost their fight.
god bless her and god bless you and your family.
@@s58xeno thank you that really does mean something to me
I am truly sorry. Very heartbreaking. Hugs to you💜💜💜💜
So sad, im so sorry! Prayers for peaceful days, and no suffering.
Man I honestly am heartbroken for you pal, I’ll watch ever second and pray for you every night x
My whole life I’ve lived with crippling fears and anxieties and watching you has helped me see what it means to be strong and get through life and how to face the unexpected. Truly you are an incredible person
Sarah Tac same here. I can’t even talk to,people and lack confidence. I’m going to try and do better because of dan
Same here, crippling social anxiety and I just hide away at home just existing and moaning about my life, I wish I had even an ounce of the strength that Daniel has, I'd be out there fighting against my anxiety if I did.
Honestly we’re all fighting the same struggle the circumstances are different but the solution is the same. You just have to keep fighting against your demons and live life to the fullest. What’s the point in worrying? Dan was living a normal life until he was first diagnosed. If he had wasted all the years before worrying would he have been in a better situation today? Nope..
This hurts to see but its amazing that he was still able to make videos and talk about it. I dont have cancer but I hope that I can leave this world with as much strength and dignity as this man. RIH ....rest in heaven.
Its hard to say good bye to someone . So i'll just say these few words, I've felt a love build up for you as i'm sure many of us have. It feels weird to say that to someone i'd never met but the fight you've put up over this hard journey is what being a pure hearted person and fighter is all about. I hope you get as much time as you need spend with your beautiful family and wife.
The lasting impression you've left and will carry over for many many years is that no matter how hard it gets you gotta fight and to never give up.
If this disease takes you then know you will never be known as anything less than the bravest of brave and of the most loving. You will live on in our hearts I will never be able to thank you for opening up not only my heart but also the hundreds of thousands of others. we'll keep fighting for you, Not only to rid the world of this sickening disease but hopefully one day all pain and suffering. we will do our best to spread love and support those who need it. All our love to you Dan, rest easy.
Beautiful
Colton Pickens Thank you Colton - you said it beautifully. You are right - Dan has opened the hearts (and eyes) of so many of us.
Very nicely said Colton 💗🙏🏽
what beautiful words
Oh there’s something in my eye there...such a lovely message. Group cyber hug for Dan! 🙌🏻🙏🏻💕💕
Get some rest, Dan. I know you’re surrounded by love. We should all be that fortunate. I do hope you get stronger and can go home and enjoy being a married man !
In the event that you can’t make it home I want to say thank you for sharing your journey. You have shown nothing but bravery. I am praying for you and your entire family, Dan. Love you.
poida He's been under palliative care as he's said. Hospice is.....😭💔
poida never say never you asshole
Clearly you don’t know palliative care vs hospice care. He’s been under palliative care, and now hospice at the latter part of the disease process. He’s been open with the fact that he knows he won’t survive this, and wants to chart his journey to help others. A positive attitude is paramount. Be sure to document your doom and gloom attitude when one of your family members gets terminal cancer, poida.
I've never actually commented on one of your videos before but now I feel the need to. I've been following your journey for a little while now and it's been so inspiring, I, thank you for sharing your humanity with us, Dan!
I want to share a quote that articulates you and your journey: "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their ways out the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.
PsycheandButterfly Never be afraid to comment on videos. What you’ve put is so touching and thoughtful
Beautiful words
PsycheandButterfly Such wonderful and beautiful words! Very appropriate and touching. Thank you.
Beautiful words.
Same here iv got that feeling hope it is as peaceful as possible ..such a brave man x
I followed your journey right till the earthly end. I still think about you rather often, you were so determined to stay, I honestly thought you would. You had surgery then went and çlimbing about, such strength. I hope it's lovely wherever your spirit is, many of us told you that you'd not be forgotten and you've not been. I hope all your loved ones are doing well, I'm sure you're terribly missed but I'm sure they also have many happy memories of you to provide some smiles as well.
If any of Dan's family and especially his wife ever reads this comment or anybody's comment i and many others would would like to say thank you for sticking by Dan through thick and thin on his continuing battle. It would be comforting . What your family and Dan together have achieved is amazing. You may not know us personally but we do care alot. Dan has touched the lives of so many people and will do to the end of time.
@HecateThe Captain obvious.
Enjoy your beautiful family brother. Know you've impacted so many people in such a positive way. Rest up. much love from Canada. Praying for strength for you and your amazing family
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Do you know how many children and adults alike you’ve inspired during this journey? You truly are a super-hero and I need you to know that. There are hundreds of thousands of people that have watched your journey and your strength and passion are inspiring. We all appreciate you for documenting your fight with cancer and it has changed my outlook on life for the better. Keep staying strong, my man.
