- 3 Long Years of Fighting Cancer
I am very weak and tired now but wanted to do a video today as it's been three years today I went under the knife the first time due to this cancer. Since then I have had multiple surgeries, my lymphnodes removed and now I am on end of life care and constant chemo!
I am still trying to find a way though to survive :)

I Just want to say that I support and love you. Know that you have so many sincere, supportive people from all over the world that are praying for you. ♥️ We pray not just for a miracle but for you and your family to gain/maintain strength and peace through your journey. You’ve won- regardless. Cancer isn’t who you are, it just a part of your story. We are blessed that You shared your story with so many and with the kind of attitude we all can learn from as well. I’m here for every chapter and I know I speak for many.
That out-tro will never cease to make me smile 💕
Perfect words!!
You said it wonderfully, although I watched his whole video today with my hand over my mouth cause I had to keep from crying In a coffee shop, but I just asked two strangers that struck up a conversation with my to put him on all the prayer list they could find. Even if a person isn't a believer of amything, to meditate for an easing up of his pain. It's always on my mind about Dan. If one wants to send a card of support should a person send it to the hospital? Anyone know? Thanks for your post btw...
Lauren W his name is Thomas :)
juliazwei his first name is Dan.
Funny, that scared me- so I removed his name lol! I’ve always addressed him as Dan so I would have been very embarrassed 😱 Thomas is a guy with a similar accent ;in my humble American (Michigan) opinion that does those 24 hr challenges, not sure if that’s the confusion? Maybe.
RIP Brother... I can't believe how quickly you detereated!. Sad but you have changed people's lives from all over the globe....including mine up here in Inverness. Rest easy...❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yah. 3 months. It's insane. RIP 💕💕
He was fighting it for alot longer wasn't he ? 3 years ish. ?
RIP my man you will never be forgotten.
Still looking Dan xxx
"Pain is subjective, and I'm not going to be that subject." Dude, that is brilliant, great stuff. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
PhatomHighway-Kudos to you, for re-posting Dan's most spectacular "QUOTE OF THE DAY"!! He humbles me, every single day...and I can only begin to imagine what he's feeling...his followers often feel helpless, and want to do more...and then Dan comes out with yet another BRILLIANT expression! Think someone should try to collect all of Dan Thomas' "One liner inspirational and motivational comments:, and bind them in a book! I'd buy it, for sure! Today's pain address comment is right up there with Dan's now infamous "#DONTGIVEIN,DONTGIVEUP"!! Love this man!! Linda (momto3rs)
PhantomHighway I absolutely loved Dan's comment re: pain is subjective and he is not going to let himself be the subject. It's brilliant.
For me who is in massive pain everyday, I say to myself, I am not defined by my diseases, my diseases aren't who I am. However, sometime the pain gets so bad some days that it takes over and you have to do whatever you can to break free from it's grip. Wear positivity like a shirt that you don't take off. So great you zoomed in on that ✌👍
You are truly amazing Dan. My Mum was diagnosed terminal at 42,it finally took her at 59. She fought, had chemo,did natural therapies, stabilised, went down, picked up ..it was a long bumpy road. Thankfully her will to live, spirit, sense of humour and positivity of love of family and life kept her with us much longer than the medical prognosis of months.
I hope and pray this can be your story too. Sending love and positivity your way. 💜
So sad that you had to go Dan, you showed me that no matter how hard things get in life, you have to keep fighting & never give up. I struggle hard with social anxiety & depression & I sometimes think about giving up, but then I remember you & remember how hard you fought & It keeps me going. I will never forget you Dan, you have changed my life, & you will be in my heart forever. Thank you for being such a positive person, I wish you knew how much you have impacted my life, words can't even explain it. Thank you my friend, now rest peacefully until we meet in the after life.
same here hun, his life made a difference hope it gets better for you
Brandon ik how u feel I feel like giving up with my anxiety
This comment made me cry. I truly hope all is well with you. Dan was a huge inspiration.
I am a cancer survivor. I just want to say I always keep you in my prayers.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ironic...Danny talking about this beastly disease and end of life. And in the background, the birds were beautifully singing...as if to announce that everything will be ok.
Lets hope .
Kevin - The circle of life.
Yeah
I'm not a religious man at all. But I somehow have this belief that when I die I'll just become one with nature. Not go to heaven or anything but just become one with the mountains and the animals and the trees.. You know. May be stupid but if helps me coop with the thought of death :)
Comment Beast I can relate to that (:
What a lovely man. I can understand where he's coming from. My sweet late husband, David, had to resort to some "illegal" things for the pains during his end of life struggle with liver failure. You do what you have to do.
I keep coming back to these videos Dan. You were such a good person. I know we never met and i know you cant see/read this but...you touched a lot of peoples hearts, what you did while you were suffering was special, ill always keep coming back to these videos when i feel a bit lost and at tilt with humanity. You sir, restore my faith. Peace brother. Rest now :(
Rest In Peace Dan, never forgotten mate. 🌹 it’s hard to believe someone is here and then gone. You went through so much surgery more than anyone could imagine.
Three years in, three years stronger. You're an inspiration, mate.
Benjamin Lachenal💗💗💗💗 I love your comment!!! That is the truth!!!!!!! 3 years in, but, he is 3 years stronger... Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I’m just in awe of the fact that they treated you for shingles and didn’t even do anything else I don’t know if maybe that would’ve made a difference early on or not. I respect everything you do you know what’s right for you. We are all here for you through the good and the bad healthy and sick. You’re an amazing human being! I hope you know you’re loved All around the world think about that that’s mind blowing!
2 years later and your message is still alive! RIP my dear soul. I just discovered your channel and been watching your fight with this horrible disease. Your are an inspiration and all your videos and vlogs will help millions in years to come life well served.
Do you often talk to ghosts?
RIP you beautiful soul.
Gives you a big hug. Always in my prayers. God is watching over you.
Just found out that Dan passed away. My heart is, broken. Miss you, buddy. 💔
Rest in Peace Dan!! You are missed. I wished I could have come to your Celebration of life service but I live far, far away, in the USA, I am disabled and financially poor. I will think about you all day today and spend this time watching your videos, and celebrating your life. Rest in Peace Dan, you are loved and sorely missed.
Your sign off makes me smile every time. :-D I’m trying to apply your spirit and determination to my own life problems. Thank you for the video. I know they’re getting harder to do. I really look for them.
You're beautiful, amazing,strong!!! I have been living with terminal renal cancer since 2015, It's funny I was also told I had shingles... uti, and or bladder infections. But I stayed persistent, I knew that it was cancer!! I treat my cancer Like it's a job, just something I have to do in this place to get to the next place, but it keeps me surviving. And you , you are surviving... and you will continue to do so!!
What were your main symptoms?
Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best.
First symptoms were blood In urine, they called it a uti , fatigue, general flank pain, which was from the tumor.... loads of other symptoms, such as feeling unwell, like a flu. I was diagnosed with Rcc stage 3 growing rapidly, they said it would kill me. I declined all surgeries, and just went with iv, and oral chemo. I've since had many infections, many tumors that have grown, turning my cancer bilateral, and developing secondary cancers in the ovaries. I've since developed heart trouble, from chemo, all kinds of other weird and scary side effects, found out I had lupus(which makes me wonder if it all came from undiagnosed lupus as a child)... but moral of this story, is after declining several surgery options, and treatments, I'm still here, still kicking, and my doctors are still surprised that I am here living. Not only am Unloving, but I've turned corners that educated medical professionals told me would never happen. I'm living with cancer everyday, but I'm living!!@peeweetoms, you're living too!!!
A Morgan is it possible that shingles can lead to cancer
I'm sure anything is possible, but I can not say for sure. I'm pretty sure virus can possibly cause cancer, but I know a lot of conditions mimic other conditions, which is why I think that, people either get misdiagnosed or diagnosed late.
I really appreciate that you keep your honest opinions as organic as possible on camera
Neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer (like what Steve Jobs had) is another cancer often missed until it's too far progressed. Bringing awareness to these Zebras of the Cancer World is what we need to do. You are amazing Dan! 💞💞💞💞
You are an encouragement! It gets me fighting mad when I hear there were doctors you trusted, doing things to you and not really knowing or understanding fully what they were doing.
I had a professor tell me that when cancer is cut out, it can easily spread bc of the blood flow and actually moving cells passed the basement membrane. Not all cancers. He was a retired physician and said going into the medical field in this age is frightening. BUT, we have to research and ask questions before leaning all our faith into the medical community. AND NEVER apologize for getting second opinions or asking questions. Period.
I believe that Drs knew at the very beginning that they would never beat Dans cancer.
They told him it was a very aggressive type.... they had to offer surgery, as they do with thousands of patients.
They could hardly say to him that they will keep removing tumors, but ultimately he will never be cured.
Drs see these cancers every day in the patients they operate on.... they must be seen to have some hope,
especially if the patient believes they can beat it.
UKPurplePanther the doctor told him for six months he had shingles 😞
You are the bravest person I know. 💕
Kerry Hughes-I've been saying the same thing about Dan Thomas,since I first located one of his earliest vlogs this past January. I don't thin people like him pass through this worldtoo often...and I know I haven't met anyone I could say the same about in my entire 50yrs on this planet.I think that's one thing, amongst so many other qualities, in what makes him so incredible special! He is a humble, gentle kind individual, yet a self admitted "assh---e" in his teenage years!Clearly,the man he has become will not soon be forgotten by this world he has so enormously impacted.... Linda (momto3rs)
It frightens me the amount of faith you put in doctor's. At the end of the day they are just mere mortals also. I have acute medical anxiety disorder and as accommodating as my GP is I sometimes think she fobs me off. I have quite serious intestinal issues since having my son 4 months ago but even though my GP examines me and prescribes medicine she still refuses to send me for investigative work. I ended up in A&E last Friday (somewhat unrelated issue), and mentioned it to the doctor in the acute unit and he suggested going straight back to my GP and demanding investigations.
My point is it's so scary how much faith we invest in fellow flawed humans.
Apologies for the waffling.
More people need to think this way. We all start as crying babies. Only one person has your best interest at heart and your back all the time, that person is you
You are a fighter! Your strength amazes me! I have health issues (not cancer) from a botched surgery a few years ago and I’m still a hot bloody mess! Thank you for continuing to share your journey and know you do make a difference. You matter. ❤️
You've been fighting so hard for so long. You are truly a hero of mine, and it is inspiring to me in so many wonderful ways that you never give up. We are with you, Dan.
Geez Dan you have me all choked up. I am stunned that they said it was shingles. You are an inspiration to those who are suffering, be it from cancer or other chronic illness. Every day I look to see if you have put a video up. I watched my father lose his battle to chronic copd 6 years ago and 2 years ago held my mum’s hand through her final hours. Ironically they got all of her cancer during surgery, but 6 weeks later she collapsed on the day she was being discharged. Sepsis took over. Be strong and do whatever you need to do.
I am also sending support to your parents. That’s me a total sob fest now xxx
Good to hear your voice. Thinking of you always, friend.
My 3 year anniversary, for my first chemo is today. Please know that I’m praying and sending tons of positive energy and vibes. You are appreciated, for all you do and for the good things that are to come, from your research.
Know that you are an inspiration to many and whatever you are doing on the behalf of others is a debt that can never be repaid. Thank you for sharing your journey and leaving us with a smile. You are loved by so many. Sending you 💖 from 🌞 Florida 🌴 🐬 🐚!
Dan, you are an inspiration to me on how to embrace and live life. I am praying you find comfort and peace for the rest of your journey, no matter what it may be. You have already given so much great information about your cancer and I know it has been and will be a great help to those in the future. Lifting you up for the highest and holding sacred space for you.
I send you hundreds of hugh from Poland
millions of hugs from Poland and Northern Ireland!
and from Greece
And from Finland
and from Switzerland
And from the USA
This man will forever be my hero. Much love to you on the other side, my friend. I hope you are there to meet me when it's my time. No better gift could be.
Your time is not borrowed, it is yours. Just do what you need to do to get some pleasure out of every day. You are a total hero.

You're in my prayers always. You're the only one that knows that helps you. whether that be "illegal" as you say, or not. I don't think anyone has a right to judge how you're making it through daily just to have some quality of life. Sending you big hugs. You're so strong! Xoxo
Thanks for being so open about all the surgeries and how you were diagnosed Dan, its amazing that you've been dealing with this for 3 years and are still looking so well, staying so positive and getting out and about, growing your channel.
It's also amazing that those families gave you the medical records, hopefully they will help you find an answer.
Nobody can say you never fought bloody hard Dan. You are amazing.
I've been subbed about a month now, and crying while typing this i really hope you survive somehow your a massive inspiration for me sending you lots of love and care!
Hey Dan! Cancer does not define you. You are so much stronger than I could ever hope to be. Your honesty is unbelievable to me. You are really incredible guy! I’m proud of you. Be strong 💪🏻
You are just the most incredible human being Dan. Everyday I pray hard for a miracle for you. I don't know you but you are always in my thoughts & prayers. Your fighting spirit is just incredible. Take great care of you. Su x
Thanks for the history of your cancer journey - I wasn't fully aware of the humungous number of surgeries you've endured.
Bless your sweet heart Dan. Loads of love xxx
Rest in peace my brother! You have made an impact on many people, being the courageous man and outstanding human being.
We all stay in this world for a little time, but we make big differences for everyone around us. You've made all your family happy while living in this crazy world, YOU ARE BRAVE MAN, brave enough to encourage and warn people, having that energy to help says much about you. LOTS OF APPRECIATION and prayers for you mate, keep that head up.
PS: I've got a no-malign brain tumor since I was a kid and lately I don't feel as okay as i used to be. Thanks to your words I am going to ask for a check whatever the result is, you helped me.
Take care and love your loved ones !
Sending you endless love and support, my man!
KEEP FIGHTING
You're not on 'borrowed' time. You've earned every single second you spend on this planet. You deserve to be with us all.
You are hella motivational🙌🏻
Dude I think about your battle everyday, I'm not exactly sure why I subscribed, maybe because your my age, or just a fighter. But you are changing other people's lives for the better. Even if your case doesn't make any advancements in medicine, you have already made a difference in people's lives. Keep your head up, and remember that no matter what the outcome, you already made a difference in the world
Stay strong and stay fighting ❤️💪🏽
He's dead
Dude you're truly an inspiration for many and an amazing person overall.
You deserve all possible respect for your fight and how much you've been changing people's lives. Keep going.
As a retired RN. I must say yes your surgeries could have made it worse because it can for sure. But please don't give up though. I wish that you could come to a cancer center here called MD Anderson in Texas. They are one of the best that there is. We are praying for you. I have been on chemo for one of my auto-immune diseases. It is terrible. So I understand. Please take care.
You are a brave man. Thank you for sharing your battle with us. You are inspiring. I have a slow cancer. I know what that fear of death is like. I think it is incredible how you have the time and strength to share. This is your legacy. You have made a difference. Thank you.
From Melbourne Australia
Again... you are an inspiration to me.. You have improved my life.. I decided to not be neglectful of my health.. made doctors appointment for my regular checks.. i am confronting my anxieties about getting sick.. facing the tendencies to procrastinate..to face fears.. etc.. I wish and hope the best for you! thank you for your inspiration.
Lovely to hear from you, birds seem happy too !
What works for you is probably unique to you too. Everyone has to find their own way.
Whatever you’ve been doing in this terrible situation, is working. You are still here! It’s shameful that you were initially misdiagnosed. You are such a fighter Dan! We love you so much, and we’re praying for you daily. Please keep fighting!💚
Dan, We all miss you so much!!! Dan Thomas you are a legend and legends NEVER DIE! ✌❤🕊
I've had cancer,am mid 30's now first was when 20 and it came back 4-5 years ago,always fit and sporty,happy,but last few years not so much,antidepressants/sleeping pills,it's a brutal disease,especially when you're young as we are,i don't know a lot about you and am new to you tube,(comments)but you show a lot of heart,i'm humbled by your courage in such circumstances,and wish you nothing but the best.
I can’t explain how much love and admiration I have for you. ❤️💋
You are an inspiration. You were licked before you started but you have not stopped trying to win. If anyone could ever beat this it must be you. A true hero.
This is one very brave man
No matter how many days or years you live. You are def leaving gold feet print. Giving so much hard to find info for others. I very much appreciate what your doing. ❤️🤗 🇺🇸 🦄
I admire you so much. Keep fighting. I wish that all of the treatments would work.
Your optimism and positivity is infectious. Stay strong brother.
Let's solve this puzzle together Dan!
If you see anything that the community can help, in regards of infos or ideas, just explain what and we will take time from our day to search with you!
Hold strong man, you are on the frontline but this fight will not be in vain
guidourados Dan I 2nd that I don’t work due to disability but will do any research you point my way. Xxx
You are surrounded by many people trying hard to figure cancer out with you. This may not seem like anything, but when my fiancé was dying, he was the most beautiful I had ever seen him - I know that sounds odd, but ask those closest to you, and it is beautiful, they might say, it is the true you, without all the rest of the worldly concerns attached. No room for regrets now.
I winced when you said about cancer in your nerves. I get neuropathic pain and I know it's excruciating. I really admire your fighting spirit x
We all really DO love you SO MUCH Dan! You will never be alone in this. I know you have your lovely family and never forget that you have thousands of us in your corner to support and encourage you! You are absolutely amazing.
Thinking of you today!!!!!!!!!!
I draw strength from you every single day as I fight my own battle until the end. You have no idea how much strength you give others with your videos, whether you are in positive mode, fighting mode, realistic mode or weak from cancer mode. None of your journey is in vain, you are helping others through it like myself who would otherwise be quite alone. Peace dude.
I had been going to the doctors for 2 years with the same symptoms. It would still be going on now, if I hadn't gone to the doctors and told them what disease I had, and demand an xray and ct scan. My diagnosis was correct - and I put my doctors to shame. I am stage 3 / 4 and its incurable too. I have millions of benign cysts in my lungs that no longer or ever will exchange oxygen again. I have pain every minute of every day (& night) I have been ill since 2012 and I probably will not see 2019
You have my support bud - if you ever need to talk with someone that understands through experience, I will be here for you.
Andy Wilson what were your symptoms?
Severe Breathlessness, pain all over my chest, my nails were clubbed, skin lessions, flu like symptoms, severe fatigue which sleep didn't help. Why - do you have a problem that sounds like this?
Andy Wilson whats the actual condition name
raleighman3000 - Micro Nodular Sarcoidosis - Very rare (only 52 people in UK have this type)
It's 2022 now. Are you still here I hope?
Thank you for sharing this information and doing it so bravely. Your battle is so personal and your truth and honesty is amazing. Your interpretation of pain I can relate to as I suffer from chronic illness that causes pain. Your not on borrowed time, you are meant to be here at this moment right now! Your healing is in my prayers as your family is too.
rock on in the afterlife beautiful soul
I have been watching you for a few weeks,and i keep telling your image on the screen that I pray for your complete healing.I have seen miracles happen that men cannot explain,and maybe it seems bonkers,but i bless you every time I see you in my feed.in the name of my saviour.Although maybe you dont believe,it can still happen.There is something about you that gets me on my knees in prayer,and I will continue every day.
Good luck mate, keep fighting!
We love you Dan! You are the strongest person that I know! Keep up your battle with this dreaded cancer and know that we all are praying for you everyday! God bless you and your family!
You are an amazing man. A fighter and inspiration to many. Keep fighting ❤️
Its great you're talking through your process of varied emotions Dan. Much LOVE to you. XXX
I am being treated for shingles in my back for a while now 😳 I don’t know what to ask or say to the doctor. Seems American doctors don’t try to find cancer. You are so strong and amazing! I love you and pray for you every single day 🙏🏼😍🙏🏼 I got on social media just for you!!! God bless you and comfort you! I love your attitude sweet face! Keep fighting and know you’re loved.
They have no problems diagnosing cancer but there are so many different cancers today that the terminal ones take a miracle to cure …. Cancer = $$$ They will never find a cure for ALL cancer !!! And that's all over the world just not in America !!!
Agreed!
are you taking dispersible zorvirax should be gone in 2 weeks shingles stays in your body you get it when you are run down it is a form of herpes, i'm having trouble getting a diagnosis at the moment it's frustrating in england dr's treat us like we are morons
Dana Salberg I am a Nurse and just said the same thing on one of his other blogs. It is a mult-billion dollar industry for the big pharmaceutical industries. The truth sucks and I hate it!
AMANDA JAYNE Howe Exactly. I’m in USA & have had shingles twice & my husband just finished his round as well. His Dr told him there’s a new shingles vaccine but told him to wait until Dec to give him time to follow-up with further result data (side effects, etc).
You've a tremendous fighting spirit, and that can help you go further than you ever imagined. The things you're doing now will help others in the future (and I hope you'll be able to see the benefits for yourself, too!)
So sad that he passed away already went fast at the end.. :(
Thinking of you today, Dan! Seeing you puts a smile on my face and I love your t-shirt. Keep fighting!! 💗
Love u man. You’ve moved in to the next stage. See you
You're the definition of a true hero! Keep fighting, Dan! 👍💪👊💜
Just stay strong i know it's hard
Dan, you many have left us but you remain an inspiration to me and to many others.
Think about you every day ♥
I think about you often Dan
Missed by many xxx
you’re such a humble and intelligent guy. i am hoping and praying that the pain becomes manageable for you. i’m so sorry, there are truly no words.
Hi Dan. Sending a big hug your way. Keep fighting and stay as strong as you can. Take care. xx
Yes!,keep positive and don’t give in to Cancer.You are a soldier fighting a battle for your life,for your survival.please don’t give up,whatever you do.
Stay strong it’s not over till it’s over. Make each day count xx
I admire u..you're very strong..You are nw in Gods hands ,no more pains..I am a colorectal Ca patient.You taught me to be strong and being a single Mom is a tough job..God loves u...
So very happy to see you today. ,❤️
Dan, keep doing you. Whatever it takes to make it work for you. I think most of us have shared journeys with family and friends. My Mother was diagnosed 24 yrs. ago on Aug. the 23rd. She died Nov. the 15th. She didn't want to officially be told she was terminal. So they told me. Try leaving an appointment with that news and acting normally. Don't give in, Don't give up. I personally believe it's attitude, to a major degree. Love you like a Mother, my three sons are older than you are. Special love to your Mum and Dad, it is hell watching your child go through any major sickness. Been there done that. Love you bunches, U.S.♥️🇺🇸
Dan I know you’re on chemo and you sound like you’re coming down with a cold so am hoping you let your medical team know straight away 👍🏼 xxx
Fairly Vague good point
They know I'm sick :) I've got numerous infections and stuff. I get checked by a palliative care team daily :)
PeeWeeToms Hello Daniel, I have information about your condition. Please contact me danielosoriogm@gmail.com
Eat the freshest organic foods you can find mate, you deserve it and it will help you. I'm sure people would pitch in on a gofundme just to help you eat better. It seems like bullshit, but it really helps get your immune system working again. Probiotics, dark leafy greens+, peppers, medium rare meats (not processed) and whatever you like that doesn't have sugar as much as possible. Sugar feeds cancer cells and disables the immune system, and even blocks absorption of vitamins when not in fruit form. Good luck bro, we love you.
PeeWeeToms ❤️ xx
These fucking tabloids that refer to a celeb like Kerry Katona, Stephanie Davis as brave because they got dumped this week should come here and look up this guy. This is bravery in its purest form. Fighting until the end and leaving behind a great legacy. You sir are a genuine hero and an inspiration to everyone. Much love!
Keep strong Dan 😘
Such a beautiful man. I pray with all that I am that you fight this, that EVEYONE fights. Such a horrific and cruel disease.
Oh God. You were misdiagnosed.
Kathy Jay Maybe his family can sue them for malpractice. Catching it earlier might've changed the game completely.
Happens so often. The medical profession can be totally useless.
Roman Family 5 I am not 100% certain, but I have heard him say numerous times that he considered chemo his last resort, and I believe it is because they were convinced his cancer type (which is very rare) wouldn’t be very responsive to chemo.
Dan. You are such a super hero. Please take care of yourself. We all love you very much. ❤❤
Tere Mertz and Roman Family 5-Tere Mertz statement is correct. Dan has shared, that he was told chemo would be a last resort, and "unlikely to help". STILL, while he recognizes that this treatment will NOT cure his terminal cancer,the hope is that it MAY "buy him some extra time". This is the path he as chosen, and as his devoted followers all agree...we need to recognize and support this decision. It is HIS LIFE ALONE. As far as I know,he receives his chemo on Mondays at the Royal Marsden, and he has now entered into "palliative care"...where he will be kept alive and as comfortable for as long as doctors are able.There are currently no expectations of a complete cure, only to prolong his life as long as possible and to keep him as comfortable(ideally free of pain) for ass long as possible. While he and his physicians have been in contact with medical practioners as well as obtaining the records of others who were diagnosed with the same rare form of cancer he has, he has chosen to remain near his loving family and caring friends...who are beyond all doubt his greatest supporters, and where he gets the love and support he flourishes on. There is NO WHERE else on earth could THIS be given, for as long as possible. Dan Thomas humbles me...every single day. Hope this helps. Linda (momto3rs)
You are going to win over this terminal cancer. You are a survivor and you will end up surviving. I have faith in you.
stay strong!
God bless you . I understand where you are at. After 2 year battle w triple negative breast cancer i have been diagnosed as terminal with months to live. I like you refuse to go down without a fight. Life is too beautiful. Youre in my prayers.
