Yeah I’m not well enough for chemo this week. My body is taking a huge bashing at the moment and may have infection or liver issues due to disease. We need to wait a few days to see what happens.
I can't even process what it must be like to get up at 4:30 in the morning to go for a car ride that lasts hours and involves Ubers and long walks after being violently ill for days. Just a thought of a car ride would push me right over the edge. I try to comprehend how you cowboy up every single day and I can't even begin to figure it out...you are made out of some kind of amazing human strength and are someone we ALL wish we could be like, but let's get real, there is only one Dan Thomas. We can all aspire to be more like you, but you are in a league of your own and you have captivated us all. Please live forever, the world won't be able to withstand the heartbreak if you don't! People from every corner of the earth love you.....what an incredible legacy....and so deserved. ❤
You wanted to say you're age. Lol. This Dan is an absolute beast on too many levels. If he doesn't inspire us all, change our lives in some way for the better, we are the one's letting him down. It's a weird feeling, the bond you can feel with someone you don't know or never met.
Dan was the male version of Emily Hayward, another English cancer fighter. These two were the strongest most positive ppl ever. I’m American but these two had to make the English very proud. Dan died only 3 months after Emily, two beautiful young ppl gone way too soon.
This man changed my life; he made me reflect about all the time I am wasting and all the things I have never done. He also gave the best example of bravery, perseverance, and resilience. What a hero. RIP Dan.
I'm 27 and just realized I'm balding, I've been really down and frustrated about it at times even thinking how unfair it is but when I watch your videos I just get humbled with perspective. The truth is my life is great and I have nothing to complain about, thanks for allowing me to see that.
Rowan fair enough - I'm losing my hair too and it's no fun, but I'm a lot older than you. It's a male thing. But yeah, what we're going through is NOTHING compared to Dan and I am glad you can see that. Hey it's fashion now to shave your head and look sharp that way. Nothing wrong with that - keep it short and you're good to go - and people find it attractive still.
Shave your head and hit the gym. Stop being a bitch. Being bald ain't shit you just have to get buff to make it look good. Baldy ain't even an insult- it's a lifestyle
How strange life is, and how unfair. No human being should suffer like you have. No one. We're all still holding out for you, Dan. We're hoping like hell (for all of you) that this setback is brief. Love to dad, mum and to Becky as well. Try and rest your body. Love you long time. 🌹💙
Elisa Mastromarino I truly believe that when people suffer like this.... there has to be something amazing for them waiting in the after life or maybe we come back as a different person.
The road to glory is through suffering! Without it u cannot understand or have joy! Rules of the universe my friend.. it's how we handle it is what makes the difference!
My 16 year old is currently in treatment for Leukemia... Cancer F'in sucks... You are in our prayers Dan... 💚🙏 And to Becky, it takes a certain kind of person to stick around in times like these.. Believe it or not there's lots who just bolt... Just want to say that you shine beautiful inside and out... 💜
Laura Z you and your son is in my prayers. I am so sorry you are going through this. I know as a Mom you would rather it be you than him. God bless you both.
Died one week later. Starting weight loss rapid. Sounding weak. All of a sudden. He must feel awful. But he’s incredible. He went down SO fast. I am certain his terror was quickly replaced with joy in paradise. He can’t die really...he’s in all of our hearts.
"with joy in paradise." no cringe like christian cringe. what if he didn't believe in the god you happened to believe in. is he burning in hell, suffering eternal torment now? think, before you spout your religious drivel.
I said to my wife the other day that I've been following you for a while ... you've taught me a lot about life buddy and the best thing is why do people leave it until it's too late to enjoy. I hope you inspire others like you've inspired me to make each day count. You've changed me as a person and for that I'll be forever grateful. Much love and prayers my old chum.
Original Bleepers Brave young man . I survived a Neuroblastoma years ago as a child . Suffering from the side effects years later - quadroparesis and cervical myopathy. Love you xxx
I have a problem with this idea of this "battle" against cancer. What happens when people lose?They didn't fight hard enough? For me you already won, keeping yourself sane, motivated, and above all living to the full in the face of your diagnosis means that you faced the ultimate challenge and proven that you could have handled anything life would throw at you. That's what winning means to me and most of us will never be proud yourselves this way. Whether you decide to sit by the sea and rest or trek out to London trying to find solutions, the fact that underneath all the suffering there is still a smile somewhere means that cancer did not overwhelm you, you are still you.
A lot of people and patients dislike the word battle. I think it is a personal preference. When I had cancer, it helped me to see it as a battle. I didn't see it as a sports game that I would win or lose, but I pushed back against it. The battle was to see the sun rise, see the stars in the sky with my feet on the ground and out of bed. I fought for moments of beauty. And people who pass away do not lose a battle like that. Nobody with cancer who fights for joy and catches glimpses of it loses. This is my perspective. Lots of people dislike the term and I believe they have every right to hate it or any word they want or need to.
There isn't a single one of us who will walk this Earth 100 years from now, Dan. There is no hope that we will survive. Yet the way you embrace life lifts each one of us and gives meaning to every moment of presence we have among each other. I know how difficult it is to go back to hospital week after week. The smell of it. The pain of it. The impersonal sanitized lighting. Stay at home as long as you can, Dan. Breathe this air. Feel this sunshine we share with you. Close your eyes and imagine the love pouring in from all corners. You are not alone. Each of us is only a step behind you. Love to you, brother.
Heartbreaking. I hate this disease and worse than that is I hate that you have to walk this path. I can’t imagine how hard it is. ❤️🙏🏻 I think of you and your family often. In my prayers for sure.
@Travis Rabble why are you here leaving hateful comments. What's your purpose? If caring people are vultures then what are you. who do you think you are to pass judgement on others. I'm not going to call you a vulture because that would be an insult to the vulture.
I have to tell you that I don't admire many people, but I admire you! your strength and perseverance to battle Cancer while there is still life left in your body! I don't know if I could do it, I don't know many that could do it! YOU ARE MY HERO!
Same!! I agree 100% with your comment, he is such a inspiration to me as well. 1 of the strongest humans i know of!! He literally brings tears to my eyes because he is pushing so hard to live his life to the fullest and this awful disease is trying to take him away from us all😔😭 i hate cancer so bad!!! It took my granny at 46 yrs old when i was just a young girl, it is a disease that don't care who it jumps on but not many ppl are strong as our hero-Dan! We all love you and Becca, and i thank you for sharing your life with us. I will never ever give up on a miracle in your life Dan!!
I will never complain about being tired and getting up early again. Daniel if anyone can kick cancer in the balls, it’s you brother! You’ve got some of the most powerful strength of will I’ve seen!
This is getting so hard to watch your such a lovely person Dan, watching you suffer is awful, i hope and pray you get the help you need whatever that may be, sending lots of love and prayers, we know you won't give up x
Hi Dan, from one bearded brother to the next, I'm sending you massive man hugs from Blackpool. I know it's tough but don't give up my friend, you've come too far for that. Your Superman, never forget that.
I found you yesterday & binge watched your journey. Was shocked to hear people saying you didnt look sick initially. Then saw your tumors and weight loss & sad that surely they see it now. I'm sorry this has been your path but I believe your journey & how you have chosen to not only fight for every day but to share it has been incredibly inspirational. I have extensive trauma background, health issues which have led to depression. You made me realize I still have to fight when at 51 I was just tired of it. You made me see how no matter the age or circumstances...the fight must go on. So I say to you & all reading this...CARPE DIEM! SIEZE THE DAY! Thank you Dan for helping me find that fighter who survived before & renewing my desire to go on. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love from USA.
Please understand, even if meant to defend Dan, THESE are STILL negative comments on his page giving off a negative energy.. We already know it's not nice, no need to post about it and give it attention.. also it looks as though they were removed so no reason to bring it back up.
You are the only person I know who just takes the full fist right into his face and calmly says: that's just how it goes, life has to go on. Fuck me, you are one tough bulldog. I had been watching some of your videos recently from last year and you've really gone a long way since then. You have become such an inspiration for so many people and your attitude is nothing but AMAZING. Congratulations to you and your wife to getting married. She's a keeper and so are you man.
I am so sorry for you not feeling well. This is a tough battle and not an easy road as I watched my dad battle this also. He fought also with every inch of him. This is a tough journey for you and for all your supporters to watch. I see the weight loss but I still see the sparkle in your eye. . You will know when you are done fighting you will know when to let go and then and only then will you rest. I'm still hoping and praying for a turnaround. If there is not one, know that we are here for you and for your family also. Wondering does your dad have a Vlog we can follow if need be Dan? You just rest and I hope you feel all our hugs and prayers we are sending. Hugs , Barb
I know you commented on weight loss but I thought to myself the other day how much healthier you look compared to when you had to stay in hospital. You did that! You should be so proud of how you are fighting this but each day must be such a struggle. I think when things we take for granted like eating without vomiting or even just breathing, become a struggle it must be so difficult. But you're still doing it, you're still making the most of everything and you're still a massive inspiration! Love to you both xxx
Thinking about you dude. I can only hope the collective well wishes of thousands of us has some kind of positive effect, you so deserve some good news for a change fella.
If Dan can get up at 4:30am to fight for his life I can get out of my depression and get my ass to the store!! You are the definition of FIGHTER!!! We all love you , we are praying 🙏 please feel better
Getting a notification from CZcams that you’ve uploaded another video brings such joy to my heart because it means that you’re still with us and still fighting. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The fact is, unfortunately he is not the only one in the situation. I wish everyone in the same situation can have as much love and support in words as the internet gives here. We could see you walking the streets and would never know....Stay strong man ❤️😞
Hello, Your game over video was recommended to me and I’ve binge watched your videos ever since. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It makes me think to myself how can I complain about minor things when there’s people like yourself fighting for their lives. The video where you showed us your tumors all down your side was shocking, that was my first time seeing cancer upfront and raw like that. I just wish more could be done. No one deserves to suffer like this. For a doctor to tell you that you have limited time here has to be tough. You have parents, a wife, friends and more that you want to do with your time here. It’s so unfair, but that’s what this beast does- it robs. Keep fighting and I’m hoping for a miracle ❤️
Hey brother Daniel, I have to let you know you are literally changing my life for the better. I was only 11yrs old when my father fought a similar battle at 33yrs old with cancer...Now years later I myself turned 34 yrs old this year, I miss him today as if no time has passed at all. No matter how much time on earth we have, I pray that your life continues to inspire millions as if no time has passed. I know I'll never get a chance to meet you, but if you have a chance to read this, I want you to know my relationship with my wife, 4 children, and overall life has improved dramatically this year because of your strength, spirit, and story. I spend more time loving every moment I share with my wife and children, my patience has embraced those around me...Daniel during my prayers I thank the lord for your inspiration, life, and journey.....Your life's journey has more meaning to so many... From across the pond brother, Sincerly Thank You from the depths of my heart, my life is renewed through your strength and spirit.
When I saw his face with the weight loss I knew it was close, which now is confirmed and I can write it because I did not want him to read that concern.
Did read on one of his videos saying something like what you are talking about and yes I though why would they remind him, not that he needed reminding. Think people forget Dan would of read it and probably family to. Probably didn't think but.......
Its a catch 22 for you. You want to enjoy as much as you physically can but on the other hand you probably need to take their advice and rest a little. You have a good family, supporting wife and now a kitten so have a chill week, sleep when you need to sleep and take a step back for a few days. Last thing you need is to catch an infection or cold. Try and get help on these hoodie sales as well, your doing a bit too much at the minute until things get under control. Touch wood you will be ok to have another bout of Chemo in a week. Some of your weight loss is also due to the sickness and drugs id imagine. Stay positive, dont let this make you surrender....ever!!!!!! Peace.
Prayers for you, I am a nurse and have had to see more of this than I would like, Everyone is wanting and needing a cure. I am so sorry that you are going through so much sickness, not to mention the psychological aspect. Rest, rest, rest. Much love and respect to you and your family
Dear Dan and Becca, Please appoint a couple of admin to weed out the nasty comments, remove them and block the horrible people that post them. You don't need that negativity right now. Becca, we know you're doing a fantastic job behind the scenes. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. xx
Dan I promised you the other day I would light a candle for you. I wrote your name down and they will pray for you during mass tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you believe or not know that my thoughts are with you. You will make it Dan. Keep fighting and never give up.
I have no words. This earth is cruel and unreasonable and your resolute and overall positive demeanor cuts me to my core. Good luck, whatever happens, good luck.
I know the NHS is struggling but palliative care really should receive more funding, so that more treatments and assessments can happen closer to home. Its just so unfair having to travel like that when you’re this unwell. Precious hours are eaten up that could and should be spent with families and loved ones. I’m so sorry you had to go through all this today Dan xx
Pretty sure he said that his treatment at the Marsden isn't on the NHS and he's chosen to be treated there as he has the best chance of something being done.
Bee Cool The result of government medical care is always rationing. Can you imagine the mess that illegal immigration would bring if the US had single payer health care while the border is so porous? Half the country of Mexico would charge the border for “free” care while Americans die waiting.
Getting this violently sick is bloody exhausting, as well as the constant traveling to and fro. The doctor is right about pausing the chemo, as currently it does not help you and slows down processes, but speeds things up by making you even sicker. Sending my best wishes from Germany, my Persian cat Emmi sends her love to all of y'all and of course Poppy Oscar, too.
I find myself staring into your eyes Dan, I am drawn to them. The extra speck of color in your right iris is so cool. Your beautiful eyes roar, they tell your truth. I shall need a second watch to see what was going on behind you in your videos. Much love and respect to you and your family.
I can’t stop crying. I feel so emotionally connected to you and your journey and family that I’m just incredibly sad that you are in so much pain. Nobody deserves this. Especially not you, Dan. We love you.
Dont judge people. People sometimes use a thumbs down as a 'sad' icon rather than a dislike. There have been many cases of people doing that, they are not being nasty
I was tearing up whilst in the car coming back from the cinema last night about you. I’ve been telling my boyfriend all about you and your family and I literally just burst out crying. I don’t even know you but I feel so inspired by your strength for living. And living beautifully. There’s a person underneath that commented a few hours ago about not having heard from you today. I feel the same. It’s funny because there’s so many people rooting for you on here and we can’t wait to see what you next tick off on your beautiful bucket list. Best wishes. Lou ⭐️
God bless you , you are an inspiration...be strong , we are with you and your family. Do not be scared. I died and was revived. I remember the feeling, it was like being in the womb again. I had never felt so loved and secure in this world. You have nothing to fear. Xx
Dearest Dan.. Please rest.. Stay here as long as you can, so rest.. I know your frustrations and fully understand them. I also know you're tired but you carry on. I wrote a comment to you back when you had vlogged about your bile duct issues. I explained to you the horrific, deeply painful, loss of the three most important people to me. I tried to explain how dark my world become from that loss. I fell off into an unimaginable hell of my own; severe clinical depression. I became emotionally unavailable to the entire world, as I knew it. Your vlogs came up in my feed unexpectedly, and I hadn't looked for any such stories of others battling any type of illnesses. It must of been a God send. I was in need of something huge to help pull me up out of the pit of hell. I read where, at one point, you had become suicidal, yet you managed to get yourself out of that mindset. That's exactly where I was. I didn't feel like I could continue to walk this earth without my three soul parts, my loves, here by my side.. I had never felt that confused, miserable, hurt, lost, lonely, or that kind of lower than low in my life.. As I began to read about you, your struggles, disappointments, all the highs and lows, and watch your vlogs, something started to shift in my tormented mind.. I saw your incredible will to live. I began to understand the amazing amount of courage it took for you to fight and make a difference, not only for yourself, but for the world. I saw your fierce will power to deny, and defeat, all the demons that stepped in your path. You created such a beautiful shift of awakening, and determination, in my own mind and life. I began to feel the need to get up out of bed, try harder, live productively, appreciate more, and make my own difference for those that suffer deep depression. You SAVED my life Dan! I was giving up, and ready to let go, and you saved a person across the world from you; someone you will never know.. You're helping people learn how to fight many different types of battles, from your own. Your teaching others how to be rightful advocates of their illnesses when doctors shrug them off. YOU ARE A MIRACLE WORKER! You're a HERO! Hero's die fighting their best fights until the very end. Hero's carry heavy loads of pain, physical and mental. They die with astounding dignity, bravery, love, and selflessness.. You are ALL that and so much more.. You light up the darkness in this world. You're a true, self made, historical, icon.. You came to this earth as an infant never knowing the impact you would have on thausands of people. You have stamped your finger print for others to forever touch.. Thank you is not enough.. The legacy you are creating is powerful! You're one of the great ones that will remain immortal, never to be forgotten, forever and EVER! Knowing you from a distance is an abundant honor!! Sending Mad Respect And Massive Love To You And Yours!! ♡
What a beautiful message you wrote. I hope and pray you always have light and love every day. I also struggle with depression and have since I was 5 years old. I lost a lot of family members and my beloved dog in a very short time span. I also had cancer. I just try to embrace every good day and be there for others. Life is hard and so unfair but I guess all we can do is be grateful for the good moments.
I hope Dan reads this.....he needs to know the magnitude of his impact on all of us. That he is teaching ALL of us to fight our individual battles with greater determination, hope and perseverance. Your words were so on point....
😞 What can I say to ease your pain, bring you all comfort and hold at bay the fear of this terrible disease? These caring, kind, and compassionate people have expressed it for me. I love you Dan. I love your beautiful wife and family. You all have become a part of my heart. Take care of each other. All my love...❤❤❤
One more thing sweetheart, for this week or at least until your feeling better, allow the ppl who care for you the most to tend to you. You don't have to be up entertaining. It's ok. Rest and focus on YOU, for now. Much love, Rita Alabama USA
Dan you do not look skeletal!!! Yes you have lost weight but still look amazing even if you don't feel it. Contact your pallative care people. They need to get your sickness under control. I know it's getting hard love, but have faith. Keep fighting. Let the Lord give you comfort. As always much love and prayers.
His strength was unbelievable. At this point his body was wasting. To be this active was amazing. But then...he was an amazing guy. To feel as horrible as he must have ..and STILL want to go through chemo. But he couldn’t do it after all.
I could not do what you are doing, keep a video log. You explained why you are doing it, but I would have given up long ago. The words brave and courageous have no meaning as compared to how you are conducting yourself. The only thing I can wish for you is that you touched others lives as you have touched mine. God bless you. Thank you.
Dan every moment we have you with us is a blessing. Don’t overdo it. Think of you and becka first. You two come long before we do. Hope you feel better Love and hugs from sunny Eastbourne xxxx
Many prayers for you and Becky....she seems like a ray of sunshine in a dark time. You are blessed with an amazing family and support system...I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Stevie Stuff - maybe not. Maybe the prayers are for him to have peace and strength and be happy regardless of what's going on. Those seem to be working.
Hello Dan. I have followed you for many months. I am honored and in awe that you have chosen to share your journey with so many. You are a lovely, courageous and loving soul. So glad you have such love around you. Congrats on your wedding to beautiful Becky and may love always be with you both. I am sorry you are suffering so at present, I am praying for you that you will feel better soon. Be kind and gentle with yourself. You have been and always will be amazing. Love and prayers to you.
Rohin Az what a strange comment you made, the lady was sending her thoughts and regards to a terminally ill man and you write that shit!! Get your head checked out social outcast. your due a slap
Rohin Az because this man is dying and she showing public support, why didn’t you write down your negativity instead of sharing it?? You come across as a dick really. Have a word with yourself rohin ok, not cool
This is one horrible all encompassing fatal illness. It doesn’t finish you off quickly. It literally slowly starves you by attacking all the organs (and not only) which provide you with the necessary sustenance to keep going. Your will to keep going is astounding. I know many have told you that already but really, I mean it. And it is a genuine opinion that is not based on futile emotions or drama. I’m not keen on both to be honest. I also avoid being extra nice to individuals only because their lifespan is shortened. I do admire your resistance and perseverance. It is rare these days and surely should make you very proud of who you grew up to be.
J T it’s the UGLIEST, meanest, most brutal and ugly disease there is. I’ve seen my mom have to have lung surgery because of it, friend’s mom’s, family, my nana, my father go through radiation treatment, amongst many other people like my 4 month baby cousin at the time (he is HEALED- 3 years IN remission, 6 surgeries, chemo, radiation at ONLY 4 months old). And sometimes... the battle ends badly. It is heartbreaking to see this guy go through this. It isn’t fair. God help him, please. Please Lord, we want your healing so badly♥️😿🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It doesn't have to be like this - it's not the cancer that is causing all this, it's the Chemotherapy itself ... please google "Chemotherapy Kills", please google "Chris Beat Cancer" and please educate yourself how a drug from the previous World Wars - called "Chemotherapy" is anything but a therapy for a human being! Source: Too many good people in the UK and abroad who were going through the same thing exactly, Chemotherapy is a one way ticket to death, please don't take it, take any alternative route but this - there are lots of other good routes in Switzerland, Latvia and more.
@Lauren Allison, babies should NEVER go through this, never ever!!! www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/refused-doctors-treat-baby-diagnosed-10956589
The chemo is so hard on you . It’s hard on anybody. It’s rest time you mentioned doctors prescribed. What are the Kidneys doing? You Darling man. Are you force eating still? Love you and all your family. Rest precious Hero. Just take it easy this week and eat and drink what you are able. Love you forever Dan and that is a long time🤩😍🦖🤩🦖🦖🦖🤩🤩🦖🦖🤩🤩🤩🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦖🦖🦖🦖
One advice friends: enjoy every fucking seconds of your life! Thank you Dan for being so positive till the end! Thinking of you often even tho i dont know you personally.
Awww no! It’s like the being sick part isn’t helping your weight, either. Dan, I do hope you’re getting the best med for nausea and vomiting. There’s one they keep that’s not given out for normal tummy things, but it works instantaneously. Please ask your palliative care team. My mum works in that field and watches you with me when she can and she says your sickness isn’t under control. Hugs to you, Becca and Kitty 🐱💚
Dan is Stage 4 . He is going to be sick with treatments. He may not have the right anti nausea pills or he may be forgetting to take them. It happens when I forget during treatment
Leanne Paxton No, it’s called Emend. You’re right, these don’t always work but apparently something can usually be found that does. I hope Dan can be given something x
@@Anastashya Ah ok, I'm a RN and it's not a drug that I've ever heard of, I had to go google it! I'm in Australia, here the go to nausea meds for chemo patients is Zofran/Ondansetron. But I know that different countries use or prefer different meds as I worked in Scotland before coming here and there we used different anti nausea meds that aren't commonly used here in Australia at all. 😊
try and keep strong Dan and keep fighting it. keep kicking. Your raising so much awareness and braking down barriers it encourages people to think that its ok to talk about Cancer.
I've been thinking about this since Dan posted it. It's unbelievable how much I care about someone I've never met. I wish I could do something to help. I wish I could fix this for Dan and all the other people suffering from cancer. This is tragic, painful and heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.😢
It's lovely how he had that level of an impact on so many people. I miss him very much and have been going back to watch all of his previous videos and there's so many people commenting the same. Brought everyone together. ♥️
I'm so sorry that there are bottom feeders attacking your beautiful, caring and loving wife. I'm also sorry that there are debates in the comments about what you should or shouldn't do regarding chemo or any other treatments. I, and so many others, support YOUR choices and I wish unqualified people would quit offering opinions on that. Please ignore their opinions, and continue to do what YOU feel is in your best interests! I can't imagine myself telling someone what they should or shouldn't do about their own body! It must be so stressful for you getting armchair doctors advice! Dan has done his research, just support him and his family!!
Huge love to you Becky and your family. I want to wrap my arms around you all and keep you safe. I am living with big physical challenge alone and I know how relentless it can feel. Thank you for inspiring us with your courage and sharing your journey xxx
It is a tough battle, I know the feeling. They found another mass and I've been feeling run down as well, the difference is I thought my battle was over and I'm going to continue refusing any chemotherapy. I'm going to fight even if it's to my last breath, that's why I admire your strength!
Be gentle on yourself Dan, take it easy . I just lost another friend from cancer, I met him at the cancer center here, at the Cleveland clinic, on the 11th. Prostate. It's got us all by the damned throat, and it's so unfair.
Ahoy Dan❣️. I live in Florida🏝and have been battling a rare breast cancer for 4 years and my heart cannot bear to watch anyone else go through such an awful thing. But YOU, my dear, are TENACIOUS and FIERCE and AWESOME‼️. I think about you so much and so I had to write (never written to anyone on CZcams before) and thank you for being INSPIRING! You make people love you💗 and your Mum and Dad are tremendously adorable and WONDERFUL! You make us all CARE about you so very much. We need you to get better..
Getting up so early to drive to London, only to find chemo needs to be postponed. Such a disappointing and exhausting day for you all😔 keeping you in my thoughts and heart.♥️
You are such an AMAZING human PeeWee Toms! I think you give everyone who has or will have cancer so much information and spirit to fight the disease. You are courage, hope,strength,valor,humanity and soooo many other verbs that would take pages to write. Love you sweetie and congrats on the happy marriage!❤💚💜❤💚💜❤💚💜
This is so heartbreaking, I wish there were a place close to the hospital for you and Becky to stay so you do not have to go through all of this long journey every time for treatment, especially when you find out that you cannot get said treatment at the time...so frustrated you must feel, I know we all feel it on our end.. we are here, or there with you Daniel and family, we have adopted you, you are our family, and we love you more than you will probably ever grasp..Stay strong warrior!
I know...why in the hell can't the hospital help him with that? It's making me so angry to see him so sick and weak and having to travel like that. What in the hell is wrong with this picture?
Im not sure, maybe there's things we dont know about--I know here in the States we had Ronald McDonald house, but we lived 2 miles too close, 2 flipping miles.... so we made these trips, with my 3 year old grandson until he became to ill to travel and was then ultimately Hospitalized.....68 miles one way....I wont even get tinto the financial end of it....im with you, brings up a lot of anger theyre not making this any easier for him when looking from where we're sitting, seems much can be done to accommodate "My internet Son"... I love this young man and his whole family so much.
@@mitakuyeoyasin2320 oh my goodness I'm so sorry about your precious 3 year old grandson..I can only imagine how hard that was..I know..he's amazing and it breaks my heart to see him struggling like this..
I totally agree with those who feel you should be able to have your bloodwork done closer to home! I drove my dear brother 4 1/2 hours away for his chemo, 3 times a week, & the trip alone would takes its toll on him! Then to repeatedly get told his levels were too low was just irritating! I so feel for you Dan! This disease not only messes with the body, it does the same to the mind! One day your feeling so alive and well that you just know you're gonna beat this, then the next the doctor's telling you some form of bad news that all you can feel is dread...I hated this for my dear brother & now for you Dan! You are in my prayers always & I'm so very proud of your zest for life & determination! Much love to you!
Chemo is the biggest scam. This poor man trusted it and now he’s gone. I wish he took natural remedies like B17 and apricot seeds. Gods medicine always triumphs over man’s medicine
An update from Instagram. Dan is in hospital, as of last night. He's also VERY upset at the abuse Becca got yesterday. I hope those of you who made nasty remarks are ashamed of yourselves. As Dan just said on Instagram, if you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing. Personally I wouldn't have been so polite. I hope you're proud, you've upset and hurt him. No more, only positive and kind comments please. Have some compassion 💖💖💖
The problem is Suzy ...These people are souless....and what they want is our reaction....Its very hard not to react because I give them feedback when I know its pointless!!! Dan / Becka and friends / family should hold their heads high....To have such support for each other. The love and compassion is what these trolls dont get....and their bitterness is to make others feel like they do every single day of their life......This is their life...to abuse /mentally/emotionally and if in a relationship also physically....Thanks for the update Suzy....Love and Prayers to Dan and Becka xx
@@AmyLouiseArt It saddened me last night to see how short sighted some people are. How DARE they abuse her like that. They don't know her, they aren't married, newly married, to a dying man and if she needs to go and talk to a friend for an hour and let out her feelings then good for her. All they've done is upset the brave man who we're all here to support. Well fucking done 💖💖💖
I get up every morning now, wondering how Dan is faring. I go thru my morning routine and check my iPad every few minutes, so scared that he’s back in hospital or having a particularly difficult day. Love to you, Dan-I hope you are still able to celebrate every moment! I am here in Southern California, across the globe, trying to mentally grab your pain and take it from your body-feel it so that you don’t have to. I wish there could be a worldwide sponge, and each of us could take a bit of your pain and let you experience pain-free days. Please have a joyous day!
I can't even process what it must be like to get up at 4:30 in the morning to go for a car ride that lasts hours and involves Ubers and long walks after being violently ill for days. Just a thought of a car ride would push me right over the edge. I try to comprehend how you cowboy up every single day and I can't even begin to figure it out...you are made out of some kind of amazing human strength and are someone we ALL wish we could be like, but let's get real, there is only one Dan Thomas. We can all aspire to be more like you, but you are in a league of your own and you have captivated us all. Please live forever, the world won't be able to withstand the heartbreak if you don't! People from every corner of the earth love you.....what an incredible legacy....and so deserved. ❤
Beautifully put! We love you.
I wanted to write something but didn't have the words. So I'm just going to echo yours, they are so well written :)
Wow beautiful n exactly what I was thinking. !
Wonderful words 💖
I come back every now and then.. Dan you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.. you truly impacted my life
Same... Watched his entire journey.
me too i can`t forget him he`ll be remembered forever
When did he die? @@AmineAlgerienProd
Strongest damned fighter I’ve ever seen in my 48 years of life. My lord you amaze me daily man. 🌸💐🌼🌷🌻🌹🌺⭐️⭐️⭐️
I agree! On a side note, good Lord, girl. 48? You look gorgeous! What is the name of your moisturizer?!
Agreed. Incredible x
48 my ass..... 38 MAYBE.
You wanted to say you're age. Lol. This Dan is an absolute beast on too many levels. If he doesn't inspire us all, change our lives in some way for the better, we are the one's letting him down. It's a weird feeling, the bond you can feel with someone you don't know or never met.
Dan was the male version of Emily Hayward, another English cancer fighter. These two were the strongest most positive ppl ever. I’m American but these two had to make the English very proud. Dan died only 3 months after Emily, two beautiful young ppl gone way too soon.
This man changed my life; he made me reflect about all the time I am wasting and all the things I have never done. He also gave the best example of bravery, perseverance, and resilience. What a hero.
RIP Dan.
I'm 27 and just realized I'm balding, I've been really down and frustrated about it at times even thinking how unfair it is but when I watch your videos I just get humbled with perspective. The truth is my life is great and I have nothing to complain about, thanks for allowing me to see that.
Same.
I have lots of complaints
Same man, 27 and patching hard :(
Rowan fair enough - I'm losing my hair too and it's no fun, but I'm a lot older than you. It's a male thing. But yeah, what we're going through is NOTHING compared to Dan and I am glad you can see that. Hey it's fashion now to shave your head and look sharp that way. Nothing wrong with that - keep it short and you're good to go - and people find it attractive still.
Shave your head and hit the gym. Stop being a bitch. Being bald ain't shit you just have to get buff to make it look good. Baldy ain't even an insult- it's a lifestyle
How strange life is, and how unfair. No human being should suffer like you have. No one. We're all still holding out for you, Dan. We're hoping like hell (for all of you) that this setback is brief. Love to dad, mum and to Becky as well. Try and rest your body. Love you long time. 🌹💙
Elisa Mastromarino I truly believe that when people suffer like this.... there has to be something amazing for them waiting in the after life or maybe we come back as a different person.

@Hey Big Rob Fitness Watch my fuarkin video Fuck me than.
Fuck I'm done than
The road to glory is through suffering! Without it u cannot understand or have joy! Rules of the universe my friend.. it's how we handle it is what makes the difference!
No words today mate. We can all see and hear your massive struggle today. So strong, it’s humbling.
My 16 year old is currently in treatment for Leukemia... Cancer F'in sucks... You are in our prayers Dan... 💚🙏 And to Becky, it takes a certain kind of person to stick around in times like these.. Believe it or not there's lots who just bolt... Just want to say that you shine beautiful inside and out... 💜
Laura Z My heart aches for you and your child. I pray for healing and strength for you and your family.
Laura Z praying for your child and that the cancer is beaten.
Laura Z you and your son is in my prayers. I am so sorry you are going through this. I know as a Mom you would rather it be you than him. God bless you both.
Also when you think your problems are bad and there is Dan's Mom and Laura Z going through the worst imaginable nightmare. My heart aches for you.
Laura sending love and positive thoughts your way 💖
Died one week later. Starting weight loss rapid. Sounding weak. All of a sudden.
He must feel awful. But he’s incredible. He went down SO fast. I am certain his terror was quickly replaced with joy in paradise. He can’t die really...he’s in all of our hearts.
"with joy in paradise." no cringe like christian cringe. what if he didn't believe in the god you happened to believe in. is he burning in hell, suffering eternal torment now? think, before you spout your religious drivel.
I said to my wife the other day that I've been following you for a while ... you've taught me a lot about life buddy and the best thing is why do people leave it until it's too late to enjoy. I hope you inspire others like you've inspired me to make each day count. You've changed me as a person and for that I'll be forever grateful. Much love and prayers my old chum.
You are a terminator! Much love sent to you and strength. 😇
Such lovely thoughts & words
I'm your 100th like and Dan's AND your words are inspirational to me.
Original Bleepers Brave young man . I survived a Neuroblastoma years ago as a child . Suffering from the side effects years later - quadroparesis and cervical myopathy. Love you xxx
I have a problem with this idea of this "battle" against cancer. What happens when people lose?They didn't fight hard enough?
For me you already won, keeping yourself sane, motivated, and above all living to the full in the face of your diagnosis means that you faced the ultimate challenge and proven that you could have handled anything life would throw at you. That's what winning means to me and most of us will never be proud yourselves this way. Whether you decide to sit by the sea and rest or trek out to London trying to find solutions, the fact that underneath all the suffering there is still a smile somewhere means that cancer did not overwhelm you, you are still you.
A lot of people and patients dislike the word battle. I think it is a personal preference. When I had cancer, it helped me to see it as a battle. I didn't see it as a sports game that I would win or lose, but I pushed back against it. The battle was to see the sun rise, see the stars in the sky with my feet on the ground and out of bed. I fought for moments of beauty. And people who pass away do not lose a battle like that. Nobody with cancer who fights for joy and catches glimpses of it loses. This is my perspective. Lots of people dislike the term and I believe they have every right to hate it or any word they want or need to.
Couldn't have put it better, thank you 💖

Uma2 - Well said.
I also hate warrior or fighter.
There isn't a single one of us who will walk this Earth 100 years from now, Dan. There is no hope that we will survive. Yet the way you embrace life lifts each one of us and gives meaning to every moment of presence we have among each other. I know how difficult it is to go back to hospital week after week. The smell of it. The pain of it. The impersonal sanitized lighting. Stay at home as long as you can, Dan. Breathe this air. Feel this sunshine we share with you. Close your eyes and imagine the love pouring in from all corners. You are not alone. Each of us is only a step behind you. Love to you, brother.
musicmakelightning Beautifully said and so true. 😢
What a lovely comment. Made me tear up!
musicmakelightning much love. great comment , god bless you
💜
Well said! :)
Heartbreaking. I hate this disease and worse than that is I hate that you have to walk this path. I can’t imagine how hard it is. ❤️🙏🏻 I think of you and your family often. In my prayers for sure.
I never would have thought he had less than ten days to live here.
Makes you realise you never know whats around the corner.
Also made me realize he was a warrior. Imagine how he felt physically 10 days from death but still forged ahead and fought the good fight
Ikr he was so strong..
@Travis Rabble why are you here leaving hateful comments. What's your purpose? If caring people are vultures then what are you. who do you think you are to pass judgement on others. I'm not going to call you a vulture because that would be an insult to the vulture.
Bad Troll, go back to your hiding place.
I have to tell you that I don't admire many people, but I admire you! your strength and perseverance to battle Cancer while there is still life left in your body! I don't know if I could do it, I don't know many that could do it! YOU ARE MY HERO!
Same!! I agree 100% with your comment, he is such a inspiration to me as well. 1 of the strongest humans i know of!! He literally brings tears to my eyes because he is pushing so hard to live his life to the fullest and this awful disease is trying to take him away from us all😔😭 i hate cancer so bad!!! It took my granny at 46 yrs old when i was just a young girl, it is a disease that don't care who it jumps on but not many ppl are strong as our hero-Dan! We all love you and Becca, and i thank you for sharing your life with us. I will never ever give up on a miracle in your life Dan!!
I will never complain about being tired and getting up early again. Daniel if anyone can kick cancer in the balls, it’s you brother! You’ve got some of the most powerful strength of will I’ve seen!
It often when we realize we are unable to make things happen and let jesus take the wheel, when he gives us power
Wasn't Jesus like the son of god, why would he play a part other than being the Messiah or something.
yeah you will :/
Yes, the messiah ... read the script! He has a remarkable role & past performance.
Yeah you will.
This is getting so hard to watch your such a lovely person Dan, watching you suffer is awful, i hope and pray you get the help you need whatever that may be, sending lots of love and prayers, we know you won't give up x
Hi Dan, from one bearded brother to the next, I'm sending you massive man hugs from Blackpool. I know it's tough but don't give up my friend, you've come too far for that. Your Superman, never forget that.
I found you yesterday & binge watched your journey. Was shocked to hear people saying you didnt look sick initially. Then saw your tumors and weight loss & sad that surely they see it now. I'm sorry this has been your path but I believe your journey & how you have chosen to not only fight for every day but to share it has been incredibly inspirational.
I have extensive trauma background, health issues which have led to depression. You made me realize I still have to fight when at 51 I was just tired of it. You made me see how no matter the age or circumstances...the fight must go on. So I say to you & all reading this...CARPE DIEM! SIEZE THE DAY! Thank you Dan for helping me find that fighter who survived before & renewing my desire to go on. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love from USA.
My mother in law died from cancer and she looked pretty well up to the day she passed.
Carpe Diem!!! The best advice !!!
Please understand, even if meant to defend Dan, THESE are STILL negative comments on his page giving off a negative energy..
We already know it's not nice, no need to post about it and give it attention.. also it looks as though they were removed so no reason to bring it back up.
its been a year how are you now?
@@miles9294 much better. Thanks for asking! God bless!
You are the only person I know who just takes the full fist right into his face and calmly says: that's just how it goes, life has to go on.
Fuck me, you are one tough bulldog. I had been watching some of your videos recently from last year and you've really gone a long way since then. You have become such an inspiration for so many people and your attitude is nothing but AMAZING. Congratulations to you and your wife to getting married. She's a keeper and so are you man.
I am so sorry for you not feeling well. This is a tough battle and not an easy road as I watched my dad battle this also. He fought also with every inch of him. This is a tough journey for you and for all your supporters to watch. I see the weight loss but I still see the sparkle in your eye. . You will know when you are done fighting you will know when to let go and then and only then will you rest. I'm still hoping and praying for a turnaround. If there is not one, know that we are here for you and for your family also. Wondering does your dad have a Vlog we can follow if need be Dan? You just rest and I hope you feel all our hugs and prayers we are sending. Hugs , Barb
Bless you Barb
From my deepest part of my heart I pray for him. Makes all my aches and pain so insignificant. Hugs

I know you commented on weight loss but I thought to myself the other day how much healthier you look compared to when you had to stay in hospital. You did that! You should be so proud of how you are fighting this but each day must be such a struggle. I think when things we take for granted like eating without vomiting or even just breathing, become a struggle it must be so difficult. But you're still doing it, you're still making the most of everything and you're still a massive inspiration! Love to you both xxx
IKR?! I think his colour is good and eyes are clear!! Fatigued though of course.
Minxy Moo Yes, this is true! Some camera angles are not that flattering. Happens to everyone. Hopefully this bout will pass though.
Having survived cancer twice, this man is alive by sheer will. Give credit where credit due. God bless you and your fight, Dan

Thinking about you dude. I can only hope the collective well wishes of thousands of us has some kind of positive effect, you so deserve some good news for a change fella.
If Dan can get up at 4:30am to fight for his life I can get out of my depression and get my ass to the store!! You are the definition of FIGHTER!!! We all love you , we are praying 🙏 please feel better
Getting a notification from CZcams that you’ve uploaded another video brings such joy to my heart because it means that you’re still with us and still fighting. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The fact is, unfortunately he is not the only one in the situation. I wish everyone in the same situation can have as much love and support in words as the internet gives here. We could see you walking the streets and would never know....Stay strong man ❤️😞
Please Lord ease Dan’s sickness and pain. Let him rest well and gain some strength this week. 🙏🏻
For how long tbh?
It's over, cancer has won, the end is here! HAW HAW!

Why are you asking your God to ease his pain, he anit doing shit. It's dans doctors that need praising.
Lord haw haw, I hope karma strikes you so bad, you fucking peasant.
❤️ How much effort you put into this does not go unnoticed.. You a're a true legend! Much love! ❤️
Hello,
Your game over video was recommended to me and I’ve binge watched your videos ever since. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It makes me think to myself how can I complain about minor things when there’s people like yourself fighting for their lives. The video where you showed us your tumors all down your side was shocking, that was my first time seeing cancer upfront and raw like that. I just wish more could be done. No one deserves to suffer like this. For a doctor to tell you that you have limited time here has to be tough. You have parents, a wife, friends and more that you want to do with your time here. It’s so unfair, but that’s what this beast does- it robs. Keep fighting and I’m hoping for a miracle ❤️
Hey brother Daniel, I have to let you know you are literally changing my life for the better. I was only 11yrs old when my father fought a similar battle at 33yrs old with cancer...Now years later I myself turned 34 yrs old this year, I miss him today as if no time has passed at all. No matter how much time on earth we have, I pray that your life continues to inspire millions as if no time has passed. I know I'll never get a chance to meet you, but if you have a chance to read this, I want you to know my relationship with my wife, 4 children, and overall life has improved dramatically this year because of your strength, spirit, and story. I spend more time loving every moment I share with my wife and children, my patience has embraced those around me...Daniel during my prayers I thank the lord for your inspiration, life, and journey.....Your life's journey has more meaning to so many... From across the pond brother, Sincerly Thank You from the depths of my heart, my life is renewed through your strength and spirit.
That's such a lovely comment 💖
Beautifully put
Amen and Amen! Me, too -- isn't it remarkable?
When I saw his face with the weight loss I knew it was close, which now is confirmed and I can write it because I did not want him to read that concern.
Weight loss and the colour of skin goes more yellowish when close. I never wud have mentioned either.
Did read on one of his videos saying something like what you are talking about and yes I though why would they remind him, not that he needed reminding. Think people forget Dan would of read it and probably family to. Probably didn't think but.......
Its a catch 22 for you. You want to enjoy as much as you physically can but on the other hand you probably need to take their advice and rest a little. You have a good family, supporting wife and now a kitten so have a chill week, sleep when you need to sleep and take a step back for a few days. Last thing you need is to catch an infection or cold. Try and get help on these hoodie sales as well, your doing a bit too much at the minute until things get under control. Touch wood you will be ok to have another bout of Chemo in a week. Some of your weight loss is also due to the sickness and drugs id imagine. Stay positive, dont let this make you surrender....ever!!!!!! Peace.
Fast
Prayers for you, I am a nurse and have had to see more of this than I would like, Everyone is wanting and needing a cure. I am so sorry that you are going through so much sickness, not to mention the psychological aspect. Rest, rest, rest. Much love and respect to you and your family
Keep strong mate we're all with you. 🙏🏼
Ditto to that .🙏❤️
Dear Dan and Becca, Please appoint a couple of admin to weed out the nasty comments, remove them and block the horrible people that post them. You don't need that negativity right now. Becca, we know you're doing a fantastic job behind the scenes. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. xx

I have no words. This earth is cruel and unreasonable and your resolute and overall positive demeanor cuts me to my core. Good luck, whatever happens, good luck.
I know the NHS is struggling but palliative care really should receive more funding, so that more treatments and assessments can happen closer to home. Its just so unfair having to travel like that when you’re this unwell. Precious hours are eaten up that could and should be spent with families and loved ones. I’m so sorry you had to go through all this today Dan xx
Well said
He may have chosen to continue being seen at the Marsden?
Pretty sure he said that his treatment at the Marsden isn't on the NHS and he's chosen to be treated there as he has the best chance of something being done.
Bee Cool The result of government medical care is always rationing. Can you imagine the mess that illegal immigration would bring if the US had single payer health care while the border is so porous? Half the country of Mexico would charge the border for “free” care while Americans die waiting.
Soo true.
Here in Australia palliative care can be brought to your home.
Getting this violently sick is bloody exhausting, as well as the constant traveling to and fro. The doctor is right about pausing the chemo, as currently it does not help you and slows down processes, but speeds things up by making you even sicker. Sending my best wishes from Germany, my Persian cat Emmi sends her love to all of y'all and of course Poppy Oscar, too.
I find myself staring into your eyes Dan, I am drawn to them. The extra speck of color in your right iris is so cool. Your beautiful eyes roar, they tell your truth. I shall need a second watch to see what was going on behind you in your videos. Much love and respect to you and your family.
Well said.

11 days later he would be dead, fuck cancer is brutal :(
Treasuretrails RS it’s insane how fast he went downhill :(
When I saw the thumbnail for the video "A major Problem and Update" I already knew this will be his last video
God bless you , you are an inspiration...be strong , we are with you and your family. Do not be scared. I died and was revived. I remember the feeling, it was like being in the womb again. I had never felt so loved and secure in this world. You have nothing to fear. Xx
Dearest Dan.. Please rest.. Stay here as long as you can, so rest.. I know your frustrations and fully understand them. I also know you're tired but you carry on. I wrote a comment to you back when you had vlogged about your bile duct issues. I explained to you the horrific, deeply painful, loss of the three most important people to me. I tried to explain how dark my world become from that loss. I fell off into an unimaginable hell of my own; severe clinical depression. I became emotionally unavailable to the entire world, as I knew it. Your vlogs came up in my feed unexpectedly, and I hadn't looked for any such stories of others battling any type of illnesses. It must of been a God send. I was in need of something huge to help pull me up out of the pit of hell. I read where, at one point, you had become suicidal, yet you managed to get yourself out of that mindset. That's exactly where I was. I didn't feel like I could continue to walk this earth without my three soul parts, my loves, here by my side.. I had never felt that confused, miserable, hurt, lost, lonely, or that kind of lower than low in my life.. As I began to read about you, your struggles, disappointments, all the highs and lows, and watch your vlogs, something started to shift in my tormented mind.. I saw your incredible will to live. I began to understand the amazing amount of courage it took for you to fight and make a difference, not only for yourself, but for the world. I saw your fierce will power to deny, and defeat, all the demons that stepped in your path. You created such a beautiful shift of awakening, and determination, in my own mind and life. I began to feel the need to get up out of bed, try harder, live productively, appreciate more, and make my own difference for those that suffer deep depression. You SAVED my life Dan! I was giving up, and ready to let go, and you saved a person across the world from you; someone you will never know.. You're helping people learn how to fight many different types of battles, from your own. Your teaching others how to be rightful advocates of their illnesses when doctors shrug them off. YOU ARE A MIRACLE WORKER! You're a HERO! Hero's die fighting their best fights until the very end. Hero's carry heavy loads of pain, physical and mental. They die with astounding dignity, bravery, love, and selflessness.. You are ALL that and so much more.. You light up the darkness in this world. You're a true, self made, historical, icon.. You came to this earth as an infant never knowing the impact you would have on thausands of people. You have stamped your finger print for others to forever touch.. Thank you is not enough.. The legacy you are creating is powerful! You're one of the great ones that will remain immortal, never to be forgotten, forever and EVER! Knowing you from a distance is an abundant honor!! Sending Mad Respect And Massive Love To You And Yours!! ♡
♡
Amazing . I’m so glad you’ve been able to start feeling more positive. Seek help and remember the mind is a powerful thing
What a beautiful message you wrote. I hope and pray you always have light and love every day. I also struggle with depression and have since I was 5 years old. I lost a lot of family members and my beloved dog in a very short time span. I also had cancer. I just try to embrace every good day and be there for others. Life is hard and so unfair but I guess all we can do is be grateful for the good moments.
I hope Dan reads this.....he needs to know the magnitude of his impact on all of us. That he is teaching ALL of us to fight our individual battles with greater determination, hope and perseverance. Your words were so on point....
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sending you love and hoping your infection improves fast Dan, keep focused, rest up and fight on. x
😞 What can I say to ease your pain, bring you all comfort and hold at bay the fear of this terrible disease? These caring, kind, and compassionate people have expressed it for me.

One hour at a time Dan ..get some rest, you'll feel better tomorrow! ❤🐾
Sometimes even one minute at a time...
First, we love you man stay strong
Dan you do not look skeletal!!! Yes you have lost weight but still look amazing even if you don't feel it. Contact your pallative care people. They need to get your sickness under control. I know it's getting hard love, but have faith. Keep fighting. Let the Lord give you comfort. As always much love and prayers.
His strength was unbelievable. At this point his body was wasting. To be this active was amazing. But then...he was an amazing guy. To feel as horrible as he must have ..and STILL want to go through chemo. But he couldn’t do it after all.
I could not do what you are doing, keep a video log. You explained why you are doing it, but I would have given up long ago. The words brave and courageous have no meaning as compared to how you are conducting yourself. The only thing I can wish for you is that you touched others lives as you have touched mine. God bless you.
Thank you.
Dan every moment we have you with us is a blessing. Don’t overdo it. Think of you and becka first. You two come long before we do. Hope you feel better Love and hugs from sunny Eastbourne xxxx
And through it all you still smile. Your beyond amazing.🖤
He does! And it just rips my heart out!!!!
Many prayers for you and Becky....she seems like a ray of sunshine in a dark time. You are blessed with an amazing family and support system...I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
How are those prayers working out? They gonna save his life?
Stevie Stuff - maybe not. Maybe the prayers are for him to have peace and strength and be happy regardless of what's going on. Those seem to be working.
I will continue to uplift him in my heart regardless of how miserable and depressing your view is.
@@cadienicole6826 how is imy view miserable and depressing? Im simply asking do prayers help?
Hello Dan. I have followed you for many months. I am honored and in awe that you have chosen to share your journey with so many. You are a lovely, courageous and loving soul. So glad you have such love around you. Congrats on your wedding to beautiful Becky and may love always be with you both. I am sorry you are suffering so at present, I am praying for you that you will feel better soon. Be kind and gentle with yourself. You have been and always will be amazing. Love and prayers to you.
Your a great fighter ! and as sick as you are Dan, your always trying to make people happy and laugh. Your one in a million !!!
Positive thoughts Dan. Sending ❤from Ft. Worth Texas.
Thanks Heather but as you see none of the other million prayers helped
@@lecancer8714 I said positive thoughts...not prayers!
Rohin Az what a strange comment you made, the lady was sending her thoughts and regards to a terminally ill man and you write that shit!! Get your head checked out social outcast. your due a slap
@@Mendleson yeah but instead sending positive thoughts she could write her thoughts down why sending them
Rohin Az because this man is dying and she showing public support, why didn’t you write down your negativity instead of sharing it?? You come across as a dick really. Have a word with yourself rohin ok, not cool
This is one horrible all encompassing fatal illness. It doesn’t finish you off quickly. It literally slowly starves you by attacking all the organs (and not only) which provide you with the necessary sustenance to keep going. Your will to keep going is astounding. I know many have told you that already but really, I mean it. And it is a genuine opinion that is not based on futile emotions or drama. I’m not keen on both to be honest. I also avoid being extra nice to individuals only because their lifespan is shortened. I do admire your resistance and perseverance. It is rare these days and surely should make you very proud of who you grew up to be.
J T it’s the UGLIEST, meanest, most brutal and ugly disease there is. I’ve seen my mom have to have lung surgery because of it, friend’s mom’s, family, my nana, my father go through radiation treatment, amongst many other people like my 4 month baby cousin at the time (he is HEALED- 3 years IN remission, 6 surgeries, chemo, radiation at ONLY 4 months old). And sometimes... the battle ends badly. It is heartbreaking to see this guy go through this. It isn’t fair. God help him, please. Please Lord, we want your healing so badly♥️😿🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
He is absolutely without a doubt a fighter and an incredibly strong person.
It doesn't have to be like this - it's not the cancer that is causing all this, it's the Chemotherapy itself ... please google "Chemotherapy Kills", please google "Chris Beat Cancer" and please educate yourself how a drug from the previous World Wars - called "Chemotherapy" is anything but a therapy for a human being!
Source: Too many good people in the UK and abroad who were going through the same thing exactly, Chemotherapy is a one way ticket to death, please don't take it, take any alternative route but this - there are lots of other good routes in Switzerland, Latvia and more.
@Lauren Allison, babies should NEVER go through this, never ever!!!

The chemo is so hard on you . It’s hard on anybody. It’s rest time you mentioned doctors prescribed. What are the Kidneys doing? You Darling man. Are you force eating still? Love you and all your family. Rest precious Hero. Just take it easy this week and eat and drink what you are able. Love you forever Dan and that is a long time🤩😍🦖🤩🦖🦖🦖🤩🤩🦖🦖🤩🤩🤩🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦖🦖🦖🦖
One advice friends: enjoy every fucking seconds of your life! Thank you Dan for being so positive till the end! Thinking of you often even tho i dont know you personally.
I've been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Life is a gift, enjoy it while you can.
@@CreeseDF i wish you all the strength to battle this, i hope of course you can beat cancer, but if not i hope you can find meaning and peace.
Never commented on any youtube vid for years until now. Got unreal respect for you stay strong pal.
Im crying brother. Praying so hard for your pain to stop.... hang in there and Dont Give In, Dont Give Up!!!!!
Awww no! It’s like the being sick part isn’t helping your weight, either. Dan, I do hope you’re getting the best med for nausea and vomiting. There’s one they keep that’s not given out for normal tummy things, but it works instantaneously. Please ask your palliative care team. My mum works in that field and watches you with me when she can and she says your sickness isn’t under control. Hugs to you, Becca and Kitty 🐱💚
Dan is Stage 4 . He is going to be sick with treatments. He may not have the right anti nausea pills or he may be forgetting to take them. It happens when I forget during treatment
Do you mean Zofran wafers? It's what most Dr's give to chemo patients for nausea. They are the best, but unfortunately they don't work for everyone.
Leanne Paxton No, it’s called Emend. You’re right, these don’t always work but apparently something can usually be found that does. I hope Dan can be given something x
Julie Beaulieu I know :(. I hope he’s not forgetting them but it’s easily done when on high doses of pain meds.
@@Anastashya Ah ok, I'm a RN and it's not a drug that I've ever heard of, I had to go google it! I'm in Australia, here the go to nausea meds for chemo patients is Zofran/Ondansetron. But I know that different countries use or prefer different meds as I worked in Scotland before coming here and there we used different anti nausea meds that aren't commonly used here in Australia at all. 😊
try and keep strong Dan and keep fighting it. keep kicking. Your raising so much awareness and braking down barriers it encourages people to think that its ok to talk about Cancer.
I've been thinking about this since Dan posted it. It's unbelievable how much I care about someone I've never met. I wish I could do something to help. I wish I could fix this for Dan and all the other people suffering from cancer. This is tragic, painful and heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.😢
It's lovely how he had that level of an impact on so many people. I miss him very much and have been going back to watch all of his previous videos and there's so many people commenting the same. Brought everyone together. ♥️
I'm so sorry that there are bottom feeders attacking your beautiful, caring and loving wife. I'm also sorry that there are debates in the comments about what you should or shouldn't do regarding chemo or any other treatments. I, and so many others, support YOUR choices and I wish unqualified people would quit offering opinions on that. Please ignore their opinions, and continue to do what YOU feel is in your best interests! I can't imagine myself telling someone what they should or shouldn't do about their own body! It must be so stressful for you getting armchair doctors advice! Dan has done his research, just support him and his family!!
Huge love to you Becky and your family. I want to wrap my arms around you all and keep you safe. I am living with big physical challenge alone and I know how relentless it can feel. Thank you for inspiring us with your courage and sharing your journey xxx
It is a tough battle, I know the feeling. They found another mass and I've been feeling run down as well, the difference is I thought my battle was over and I'm going to continue refusing any chemotherapy. I'm going to fight even if it's to my last breath, that's why I admire your strength!
Misty Nights All the best to you in your journey.
Misty Night you sound like a warrior. All the best for your fight.
Vegan Candy & ntwaddle78-Thank you both for your kind words! ❤️❤️
Praying for you 💕🙏🏼
Barbara Vyse -Thank you! ❤️
Be gentle on yourself Dan, take it easy . I just lost another friend from cancer, I met him at the cancer center here, at the Cleveland clinic, on the 11th. Prostate. It's got us all by the damned throat, and it's so unfair.
Ahoy Dan❣️. I live in Florida🏝and have been battling a rare breast cancer for 4 years and my heart cannot bear to watch anyone else go through such an awful thing. But YOU, my dear, are TENACIOUS and FIERCE and AWESOME‼️. I think about you so much and so I had to write (never written to anyone on CZcams before) and thank you for being INSPIRING! You make people love you💗 and your Mum and Dad are tremendously adorable and WONDERFUL! You make us all CARE about you so very much. We need you to get better..
I was in my garden thinking about Dan obviously today when a white feather fell to my feet. I was amazed.Shall keep that forever.
Getting up so early to drive to London, only to find chemo needs to be postponed. Such a disappointing and exhausting day for you all😔 keeping you in my thoughts and heart.♥️
Rest, try and feel better. Hopefully next week will be better. You’re a rockstar!
You are such an AMAZING human PeeWee Toms! I think you give everyone who has or will have cancer so much information and spirit to fight the disease. You are courage, hope,strength,valor,humanity and soooo many other verbs that would take pages to write. Love you sweetie and congrats on the happy marriage!❤💚💜❤💚💜❤💚💜
Yeah it will sure be helpful since 1 out of 3 person will have cancer in their life time!
Thinking of you two during this most difficult time. Those darned lab values! 🙏 You are such a fighter and I am so sorry you are so sick...
This is so heartbreaking, I wish there were a place close to the hospital for you and Becky to stay so you do not have to go through all of this long journey every time for treatment, especially when you find out that you cannot get said treatment at the time...so frustrated you must feel, I know we all feel it on our end.. we are here, or there with you Daniel and family, we have adopted you, you are our family, and we love you more than you will probably ever grasp..Stay strong warrior!
I know...why in the hell can't the hospital help him with that? It's making me so angry to see him so sick and weak and having to travel like that. What in the hell is wrong with this picture?
Im not sure, maybe there's things we dont know about--I know here in the States we had Ronald McDonald house, but we lived 2 miles too close, 2 flipping miles.... so we made these trips, with my 3 year old grandson until he became to ill to travel and was then ultimately Hospitalized.....68 miles one way....I wont even get tinto the financial end of it....im with you, brings up a lot of anger theyre not making this any easier for him when looking from where we're sitting, seems much can be done to accommodate "My internet Son"... I love this young man and his whole family so much.
@@mitakuyeoyasin2320 oh my goodness I'm so sorry about your precious 3 year old grandson..I can only imagine how hard that was..I know..he's amazing and it breaks my heart to see him struggling like this..
A monopolistic system like the socialist NHS forbids easy access to healthcare unfortunately. ;(
Praying Dan! Love you long time!
keep fighting!!! youre stronger than you think! we love you!!
I totally agree with those who feel you should be able to have your bloodwork done closer to home! I drove my dear brother 4 1/2 hours
away for his chemo, 3 times a week, & the trip alone would takes its toll on him! Then to repeatedly get told his levels were too low was just irritating! I so feel for you Dan! This disease not only messes with the body, it does the same to the mind! One day your feeling so alive and well that you just know you're gonna beat this, then the next the doctor's telling you some form of bad news that all you can feel is dread...I hated this for my dear brother & now for you Dan! You are in my prayers always & I'm so very proud of your zest for life & determination! Much love to you!
thank you for sharing with us.. my heart hurts with yours and your family. Praying for you friend
Chemo is the biggest scam. This poor man trusted it and now he’s gone. I wish he took natural remedies like B17 and apricot seeds. Gods medicine always triumphs over man’s medicine
An update from Instagram. Dan is in hospital, as of last night. He's also VERY upset at the abuse Becca got yesterday. I hope those of you who made nasty remarks are ashamed of yourselves. As Dan just said on Instagram, if you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing. Personally I wouldn't have been so polite. I hope you're proud, you've upset and hurt him. No more, only positive and kind comments please. Have some compassion 💖💖💖
What abuse was Becka getting? People are so horrible sometimes. Nothing more than bullies.
@@jessstokes4528 scroll down. They're on this post. People judging her, it's vile 💖💖
Thank you for the update Suzy. I’ve just checked Dan’s Instagram - how truly disgusting for people to treat Becca like that 💖
The problem is Suzy ...These people are souless....and what they want is our reaction....Its very hard not to react because I give them feedback when I know its pointless!!!
Dan / Becka and friends / family should hold their heads high....To have such support for each other. The love and compassion is what these trolls dont get....and their bitterness is to make others feel like they do every single day of their life......This is their life...to abuse /mentally/emotionally and if in a relationship also physically....Thanks for the update Suzy....Love and Prayers to Dan and Becka xx
@@AmyLouiseArt It saddened me last night to see how short sighted some people are. How DARE they abuse her like that. They don't know her, they aren't married, newly married, to a dying man and if she needs to go and talk to a friend for an hour and let out her feelings then good for her. All they've done is upset the brave man who we're all here to support. Well fucking done 💖💖💖
Hang in there mate. You're an inspiration to everyone.
You can do this Dan!!!! We all love you tremendously!!!! Praying constantly from The States!!!!!
God Dan, I'm sorry handsome :( wishing you well.. will keep you in my prayers. Xoxo you're always in our 💓
I can’t believe dan went from this to bed ridden in just 3 days, it was so sudden. R.I.P dan.
I get up every morning now, wondering how Dan is faring. I go thru my morning routine and check my iPad every few minutes, so scared that he’s back in hospital or having a particularly difficult day. Love to you, Dan-I hope you are still able to celebrate every moment! I am here in Southern California, across the globe, trying to mentally grab your pain and take it from your body-feel it so that you don’t have to. I wish there could be a worldwide sponge, and each of us could take a bit of your pain and let you experience pain-free days. Please have a joyous day!
“Do not cross the road with your eyes open”
I will always remember this sound advice
NubletPie278 Oh!! I thought he said “kiss the road”! Actually, that’s good advice, too.
