I'm revisiting Dan's videos in February of 2020. We're going on two years since Dan left us. Dan said "I can't help if I'm dead". I must take issue with that statement. Dan, you are indeed still helping all who watch. Missing you, dear heart. Ta ta, buh bye for now.
I know you've passed away and while I'd like to think you can hear all of us somehow, I'm saying this in hopes that your loved ones can. My heart shatters watching your videos. You, were an incredible human being and you deserved so much more in life. The strength you showed is breathtaking and admirable. You must have been numb in some ways yet you were still able to be vulnerable and focused. I'm so sorry modern medicine wasn't advanced enough to save you. I know for sure that I'll never forget you. I'll always find myself randomly watching one of your videos and saying a prayer for you and your family. Thank you for all the blessings you bestowed on us.
Okay! Lolz! Right! I have written a post on my blog peeweetoms.com/2018/03/22/the-common-misconceptions/ as some people still don't know what is type my cancer is or what I do this vlog for, so please check it out. Also if you want to stay informed while I am having surgery follow me in instagram instagram.com/peeweetoms
To write “absolutely heartbreaking” is an understatement. We as listeners feel helpless. All we can do is sit by and listen. Good thoughts and prayers for you. Hate ur going through this.
Let me change that title for you a bit - "Dan Is Showing No Signs Of Stopping! Cancer is struggling now! :)". That's better. Never give in - Never give up.
Ur my hero and the reason I got out of bed today. Haven’t been out of bed in week cause of chronic fatigue but because I see u up and dressed I did to. Thank you Dan and Thank you for sharing ur journey. Love from Florida USA
Dan you talk about wanting to do more but can we just take a second to appreciate how much you have actually done in a short space of time... You've raised awareness not only of this rare cancers but also exposed the difficulties you have faced with charity support, lack of specialist knowledge and lack of general awareness within health care regarding this rare cancer. By exposing all this you've already made it a little easier for the next person that goes through this. Be very proud of yourself. I hope you get your surgery very soon so that you can feel better and I can continue to watch you conquer this xx
Dan I’m so so sorry...why the fuck are they pending surgery, you should be in there now! Makes no sense to me and breaks my heart. Please realize we want to see and hear from you, and that you vlogging helps you express your feelings but please save your strength...we aren’t goi g anywhere...you need to reserve your energy as best you can. Don’t give in but take care of you first. God I don’t know what else I can say...I’m just so sad 😭Continued love and prayers to you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear Angels, Please wrap your arms around Dan who is hurting today, Let him feel how much you love and care for him. Please bring comfort, healing, strength and peace to him. x
Nothing is impossible. I have a relative who has the worst form of breast cancer - an aggressive type - and is still fighting 17 years later. If I had a dollar every time a dr. told us she only had a few months, we'd all be rich. We literally take a photo book every time she has to meet a new dr. so that they can see we are telling the truth on how many times she was so ill, then made a complete turn around and was well for a few years, sometimes only a few months, but she has never given up. She refuses to. Even when she feels the worst of the worst, and I've watched her, she will smile a little smile and say, "I'm not going anywhere" This time she's been in remission for 3 years. Last dr. said she had 6 weeks. Longevity is achieved by the right combination of drugs. Sometimes we went back to the very first drug, which they said wouldn't help because she already had it. It worked like a charm just like it did years ago. Some weeks are better than others. Some months are better than others, but she still looks at us and says, "right after I get my platelets tomorrow, lets go to the beach." I swear her mental toughness is what keeps her going. She just adapts. Keep pushing forward!
That how we should all be, Michele. I also felt that way. I lost my Father few years back, and I had to find a new reason to live. He meant so much, but it took a while (good while -- if I'm honest and not shittin' you like I do so many people). But, he's the one who taught me to fight until you're underground -- then you have earned your rest. Fight every single situation with grace and dignity. Dad said, "Teach the Gods who Man is".
Aww Dan my heart feels so heavy for you right now we all want to see you getting better don't give in don't give up chin up and lots of love praying for you xxx
Guess what Dan. You are only human. You are allowed to have these feelings. In my book, you have done an amazing job keep a good front. It does suck when the cancer you are fighting is so rare. My dad was in that same boat. You are quite the cancer warrior. Love and Hugs
Hey Dan, I was thinking I could come help you after your surgery. One thing about firefighters/paramedics in Missouri we have a lot of time off where I could come and help you. Just so you know a little bit about me I'm married with 3 grown daughters. Let me know, I would not mind at all. Hang in there.
Dan, you are a darling young man, very handsome and appear to be very caring, and with so much to offer this world. We do not know why these things happen, but remember dear friend, Jesus is with you. He is your hope. you are in our prayers and I know you do not know how long you have, but none of us do. Its just this ugly cancer has raised its head to interrupt your life. Psalms 52 says "out times are in Gods hands". I find a lot of comfort in that. I hope you will too.
Dan, I'm so sorry you're going thru this. If all our hopes and prayers could heal you, cancer would be long gone. Hang in there buddy! If I can help find a doctor in the states, let me know!
Don't be sorry for waffling. I'm glad that you have us to talk to 💕 you are a really funny guy and in between my tears, you're making me laugh. I wish we were friends xxx
Waffle all you want. I love listening to you. You're so genuine and real. I'm so sad that you're suffering so badly. It hurts my heart! It's a very helpless feeling, to feel so helpless to do something for you. So I'll pray. I don't know if you're religious, but I'll pray for you. 💓
I gave you a like on this video .... but I don’t “like” the fact that you are so unwell today. Thanks for the updates and for being so real and transparent. You definitely have the right mindset & attitude dealing with this cancer. Praying for you !
julia chatwell .... I agree, but don't worry about the thumbs down all it does is get the video more attention rather than not liking 😂 I checked , so trolls can swivel
I wish I could ease your pain. I wish I could give you a magic cure. I have donated what I could and I hope it helps. I am happy to see when you post a video because it reassures me that you are still fighting this beast. I can see the pain in your eyes and hear the pain in your voice and you still picked up the camera to talk to us. I know you said that you aren't "proud" of any accomplishment, but you should be proud of THIS. You are spreading awareness and you are spreading HOPE!
I hear you when you say that you want to beat it and I believe you will. I just believe you will because i see the fight in you. I could never pretend that I know what you are truly going through and there’s no words but I believe you. I’m here for your fight. And I want to be here to hear you’ve gone in remission.
Sometimes words can convey depths of anguish and pain other times not so much but....you do a pretty damn good job. This is a real side to life most people don’t wanna see. Good on you mate...you are creating a blueprint of your journey for others in life to see. Maybe someone, somewhere won’t feel so alone or afraid because of what you are sharing now. That’s not giving in it’s just real frickin living. We only have today and you are using this moment in time to connect with others who eventually will be on a similar journey. Life is a story. Death is not the end of your story.
Hi Dan...many moons ago when I was in grade 3/4, the teacher posted all these inspirational posters around the classroom for us. This one was very inspirational to me & I've never forgotten it. I am not sending it to you as a sad statement but rather an inspirational one. I believe in my heart of hearts that you will beat this thing, & I just wanted to share this poem with you, composed by Langston Hughes. "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow" I have confidence in your strength & determination. Oh yeah....a horse walks into a bar. Bartender looks at him & says "why the long face?"
Just try to relax. Your brain just goes all the time! I’m so sorry you have all the pain you have😤pisses me off😿 At some point try to do something that relaxes you as much as possible. You are a real inspiration and I know you do not understand this, but many of us really love you. However, you are dealing with a disease that is the most terrible worldwide. My husband had Sarcoma/Carcinoma in his lungs. It was incurable. But now, lung cancer no longer means a death sentence. Please do not think I am off the wall-BUT-I think this world is the spring board to the next. And, that your service here goes with you there and carries on from there. Don’t think this is ALL there is, or will BE. Love Love Love and greatest support to you and admiration for you🤙❣️👀🎬
Much much much love and support to you. Never give up and keep up the fight altough its very clear from your video that you already know that, and will keep doing so. Please keep on uploading this videos, look at all the feedback and all the people who are sending love your way. I really hope that these videos and comments help you to feel even a tiny bit better emotionally, if so, please keep keeping us updated!! My thoughts are with you!!
I got a joke for ya, what do you call a wig on the floor??? (off it's head) ha ha ha ha I Sorry you are feeling so down and I'll and in pain today. Sorry for being ignorant but is it the C making you feel nauseous, or is it the pain killers, or other meds? I only ask cause being in pain is really terrrible but being in pain and feeling sick too is horrendous, so if something could ease the sickness then thats a little something.
I am so sorry. This is heartbreaking. I wish I could give you a hug. Keep fighting and never give up. I admire your courage. I have had cancer as well. Mine was quite curable and I am grateful for that. It could come back anytime though so its a life of worrying. I now am riddled from autoimmune disease as well. It is harder some days then others but I keep living my life every day in spite of everything. I am about to be a grandmother for the first time any day now. It is things like that that keep you going. Focus on the positive as much as you can. Thanks for the update.
Counting down the days til the 28th, both my brothers were born March 28th, both died as young men, and I want to rejoice this 28th with all those frigging tumors gone with good surgeons who get clean margins. You hang in there Dan...here's the daily hug, you hang tough hear me!?! Love from the old lady in Tx.Hunter
I was diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma, but no imaging yet. I go to Mayo Clinic on the 29th. I don't think they're on the right track, but we will see!
There is a difference between, CBD oil and THC oil. Most CBD oil is legal whilst THC oil is not. If you make your own THC oil you need to use the indica cannabis plant. Like Rick Simpson oil..People are buying CBD oil thinking it will cure their cancer and putting their faith and hopes on it but most of the CBD oil is just hemp from sativa plants...
i can get full extract it is easily located when asking the right people its not cheap but will obliterate all your cancer, alkalize body, and gallons of distilled water with fresh lemons, ive seen it work my friend
Dan you are not obliged to do anything! You are just wanting to get well. It may be that you will never get well. DO the things you want to do! USE the go fund me to have a bloody good holiday! Do it as soon as you can. Your chest sounds bad. I wont give you any advise, you have had enough of it. Just thinking of you as are many others.
I can’t believe how aggressive and absolutely horrifying this cancer is. Yes, all cancer is horrible but my God, you cannot get a break. I am still praying and hoping...and there needs to be more research!! You are helping shed light on this. All my love, Tom...I am here for the long haul. I wish there was more I could do. ❤️
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ Have a strong faith Dan that you can fight this. Never give up....even if you feel that your body is weak but your mind is strong so go on fighting. We're always praying for you. God be with you.
Oh Dan, Sorry for the crap you have to go through, I get it even though i am the caregiver of my husband. Can't make any plans except Dr appointments, scans , emergencies, etc. One day at a time Dan !!😊😊😊
There’s nothing more lonely than living in the world of “this is unique, we don’t know what to do, we can’t answer that question I’m sorry”. I feel for you, I really do, because I can see how much you just want to have a life and a fun one at that and that isn’t too much to ask for. Thinking of you x
I dont know what to say because words could not say who iam feeling now in this moment. The tears come. I hope the best for you and i pray for you since i saw this video. I wish you could live your old life , but dont give up.. fight until the end, you are the winner!!
Dan, I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Man you are so strong and have such a wonderful outlook on life. Take each day one at a time and be the fighter I know you are. I truly wish I had words or a magic pill to take this all away. God be with you my friend and prayers are coming your way. Give your mom a big hug from me. She is a tremendous lady and she raised an amazingly, courageous son.
Sharon, peace? Peace from the idiot "god" that created the cancer, couldn't or wouldn't stop it. If this "god" ever existed . . just shows how pathetic, evil or incompetent it is. AND! People are actually praying to the creep.
The rarest of rare Cancer always seems to get lost in the midst of other forms of this disease, known as Cancer. My daughter had to have a double mastectomy in 2016. She is young and vibrant and also an E.R. nurse. Being a patient opened her eyes to the endless pain, radiation therapy, surgeries and still living with the fear it will come back with a vengeance. You'd think that some doctors would see your cancer as an opportunity to jump in and help understand what this type is all about. It's frustrating as Hell. I'm sorry you're in pain and so sick. You can't be chipper all the time. Take care of you and know we are all here for you. Love to you ❤🌠
Please tell me that you still believe in yourself.That won't gonna kill you!Please believe it.I pray for you and I wish youd never had that trouble.You are a hero❤You'll beat the beast❤
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
You really help me keep things in perspective. Some of the things I worry about are so goddamn trivial in comparison to what you and many others are dealing with. I've been such a baby all day, for no apparent reason, but watching this snaps me back to reality. I wish I could help. You, as well as Emily Hayward, have made this huge, indescribable impact on me. So thank you.
Just remember, during times like these, live one moment at a time. I know you feel a million miles away from your own life. I've been there, too. And, I am sending you love, best of thoughts, some strength and peace for you. You take care of yourself now. I'm praying for you!
Whichever god up there and is watching now, please bless this man with good health. He deserves to be well again. It hurts to watch and listen to him talk abt his situation. Please help him.
Dan, that was an enlightening video and I thank you for that. Unless someone has been in your place they cannot truly understand the mountain you are climbing. I'm praying for you day and night and wish I could take your pain on for you. Hugs and love.
Never stop believing you can beat this! Thoughts and prayers for the surgery and for you to be pain free as soon as possible! Rooting for you from the States!!
I'm so mad that you're sick. That there's not something yet to help you. Read these comments, look at the community of love and caring you have built. You are an amazing human. I hope all of our love, prayers and good wishes can sustain you till surgery. Stay strong Dan, fight with all you've got, we love and adore you 💙
So so sorry Dan that things are so bad for you at the moment. Don’t ever apologise for words of truth. The truth is the only way you can get your story across and that’s why we are all here listening to you. We love you 😘
Dear Dan. As a viewer and a huge fan/ supporter of you, I feel absolutely horrible I can’t help you or change these circumstances. I can only imagine how your loved ones, family, and Claire feels. I’m praying constantly for you and nervous for your upcoming surgery. You are loved and we mourn this illness with you. Please keep fighting and please also take great care of yourself before this surgery. I think stress and trying to do for others is not your focus right now. Take care of you as best as possible. Many prayers are being sent up and miracles do happen. I pray you’re one of those miracles after this surgery.
I can tell you’re struggling Dan, I really hope you you can get a break from this crap & get back to doing some of the things you want to do, I know you’ll fight on but it must be so hard, see you tomorrow buddy love as always Ant & Val ❤️❤️
Daniel, I'am so sad to hear your news. You have done a wonderful job with your vlogs and because of coming across them, I am now paying attention to the lump I found in Sept. They did an ultra sound said it was a lymphoma probably should have it out and biopsied. Since then I have found other lumps and am going to go in. I also have other chronic conditions and am pain 24/7 (hate the stupid scale thing ahh it can go higher than 10!. Homebound now 98% of the time,lost friends & rarely see family. My journey started at 14 mos of age with getting Polio and know well the dance with doctors not listening, and tests not being done. (was told by email I had colon cancer-gosh sorry) The information you have shared will if mine is anything be helpful. I only wish it had been available for my cousin who, I suspect may have had your type. She was brushed off by her docs and I told her, you have to demand tests and stand up to them. By the time they did she had a football size tumor in leg, which was cancerous at that point. That was around Sept. her body scan they did in Feb. showed it had gone to lungs etc. Sadly she took her life on Feb. 13th. She was most certainly failed by the medical field. As have been many others I knew. Maybe if she knew the blogs and people you have brought together with a place to talk it would have helped her, sometimes you can say things to "strangers" you can't to family or friends. It's not fair and you have every right to be pissed off, sad, happy what ever you need to be at the time. Stop apologizing! Have you been drinking protein drinks? Easy on stomach and might help you gain some weight. I am amazed at your spirit and determination you have. Not sure I could be as strong as you are. Keep kicking ass-even if it's only across the room, grab the good moments and have fun when you can. (really lame joke) What do they call a potato that wears glasses? A spec-tator!! gentlehugs (sorry so long)
Dear Dan, I wish I could talk with you and pray with and over you. There was a woman who was very sick, she could not walk.....she was intense pain and on a ton of pain killers. One day the Lord brought us together, I immediately prayed over her and rebuked her illnesses. I told her the LORD was touching her and healing her........I told her to go to the wall, without any help, no crutches, no walker etc. She did, she felt ZERO Pain!!! I told her to RUN back to me and she did, because JESUS said, what ever you ask for in my Name it shall be done. So in the Name of Jesus one can be made WHOLE!!!!!!! Jesus raised the dead to LIfe, Jesus made the blind to see, who ever was sick was made well. So Dan, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I take AUTHORITY over ALL of the cancers in your entire Body and REBUKE them in the NAME of JESUS and COMMAND them back to the Pits of Hell where they belong, to NEVER return to your body ever again. BE WHOLE DAN in the NAME OF JESUS I command and ask in Jesus Name, Amen and Amen
Nothing profound to say. Lord please give this young man inner peace that passeth understanding. Guide the medical community to progress further toward solving, treating, stopping pain. If I could take some of it away, I would. Positive vibes from Austin.
