It's so strange to care so much about a person you will never know or talk to.....but I care! I cant imagine a world with out a "hello internet". I am praying for you and all who love you. I hope to meet you on the other side my friend. I pray all the rest of your days are beautiful.
Daniel, I am sorry that the cancer is progressing so fast let alone progressing… My continued prayers for peace and comfort for you. You’re not alone as we are all hear for you. Been missing you. Glad you had a good vacation.
I think I can speak for all of your followers when I say that you have fought with such courage and grace. You’re loved by all who know you. To all of us who watch your videos, you are our hero! You may not realize the impact you’ve made on us all! Your kind and generous spirit is so precious! We’ll all be praying for you on Monday, and always!
Oh Daniel, this was difficult to watch. I can’t imagine a world without you. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers & may you find comfort with the drain placement. I want to come through the screen and hug you so tight. Take care of yourself.
Cancer is so wild man, I'm so sorry you were subjected to this horrible disease. Really hope you know we're all with you my guy, just a bunch of strangers on the internet who don't know you personally, but I can assure you we all care deeply about you man. Live this year to the absolute fullest that you can. Try to push through the sickness and get out and do the absolute most that you can.
Daniel you are a courageous, gentle soul. I hope the drain brings you the comfort you deserve. Hospice is great with adding comfort to your remaining time. I would seriously consider contacting them if I were you. I'm so very pleased you were able to go on your vacation. Many blessings to you Daniel.
Yes! I agree. People are afraid of the word hospice because they think it means the end. But hospice was with my dad for 2 years before he died and made his last 2 years so much more comfortable and livable.
Hospices rock! My mother worked as a volunteer at one and I visited a couple of times. A wonderful place full of really competent and caring people, very upbeat and lots of laughter. She actually spent her last month in the same place and was treated like a queen. I will NEVER forget what that wonderful place nor be able to thank them enough.
I worked for hospice for over 20 years and was a pt myself for 17 months. Highly recommend. With the drain being put in you should qualify. You just can't be receiving any life prolonging procedures.
Daniel, I am so sorry that you are going through this. I don't have any profound words to say, so I will just say that we are here for you.....and we care about you.
Daniel… my heart goes out to you. You’re so sweet… I love you for yourself, your beautiful soul, your very essence. You are so courageous and brave. You’re facing your mortality with great dignity and that’s what I hope I am able to do. I worked at UCLA med center for 27 years in nursing. The patients I remember are still in my heart to this day. Courageous people like yourself. God Bless you, Universe Bless you, I just love you!!!
You have shared the most intimate times in your life with strangers. It will help so many of us deal with our own mortality. Married to a funeral director for decades, I am very familiar with how families cope. They tend to take the news better if there is a warning and a goodbye. We don’t know how long we have in any health condition. Be sure to not wait too long. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. Know we will be with you in spirit at the end and there is a light awaiting you. You have suffered immensely and time to rest will come and be a relief for your loved ones. You will forever be loved and missed. Safe travels and courage in the end. May it be peaceful. Amen
After dealing with the deaths of several relatives, my only advice is this: go visit the ones you want, and skip the big reunion. We tried to make it so that my grandma's relatives could see her one last time, and some of them wanted to take over her care so they could save her (from complete organ failure). One even called the police. Death upsets people, and they will react in ways you would never consider.*Your* goodbyes should be the only ones that matter.
Completely agree My grandfather wasnt ill, but he had a large 100th birthday bash .. His frail elderly sister travelled from Canada to Britain .. ..and didnt get to see him much . Its so difficult to really make the party meaningful when you havent got enough time to chat to everyone. Grandpa was exhausted and spent alot if time with people ..from his local club rather than concentrating on those who ..he rarely sees ...( like his poor sister ). Also the newspaper reporgers turned up and hogged his time. Would have been much better if grandpa had just kept the party small ..with close family and friends ...everyone would have been happier . He would have been more relaxed and less tired . Its a difficult one isnt it .... I guess everyone is different ...
I cannot begin to comprehend how this must feel. You're showing amazing courage. Knowing what you know, is all well with your soul? That's the thing that will matter most.
Daniel, you might check into hospice. They are rockstars at getting through the red tape of patient care. You are so gracious and have an endearing presence. You’ve had a great impact on me. I would have loved knowing you IRL and look forward to your videos.
Hospice will come to you; you can have Home Service without having to check into a Hospice Center. That is what my wife and I had. She passed at home where she wanted to be
As someone else said,this was hard to watch,but nowhere near as hard for us as for you. Talking to my husband about you,it feels like I'm losing a friend. You have no idea of the influence you have on others; you are a truly good man,Daniel and even folk like me ,far away in Scotland,care about you. All I can say that I'm sending you love and light as ever and hope that you will achieve all your goals. Take care,lovely man. You really are loved x
You may not live to a ripe old age, but the way you have lived and affected so many lives in a positive way, is tribute to your wisdom, inner strength and courage, and I for one am glad I got to see so many glimpses of them through your videos.
Fill this post with love. Lots of love to you Daniel. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so heartbreaking, I wish you the best time with family and friends. Don't give up, Good things can happen. I believe you will see Christmas and the new year! Buy some Kool aid drops to flavor the water it's helpful. Wishing you more days.
Major respect Daniel. Triple hugs from Australia. I have learnt a lot from your courage, your gentleness and your attitude to living. Amid all your anguish your love of family and cats is so beautiful. You are one of the good ones so glad I found you. Much love.xx
While it's difficult to hear of you speak of your impending death, it's not the first time I've listened to a friend speak of this. I lost many friends in the past few years, 2 of which were identical twins, my childhood friends... all of them to cancer, 3 began as liver cancer. The one twin I spent many days with her, taking meals, cleaning, and reminiscing. She had the very same attitude as you. I learned so much from her and appreciated every single day that I had the privilege of spending with her. She would carefully pick from her possessions and give to every visitor. She would sit with her husband and brief him on how to pay the bills. She wrote letters to her 2 sons. She planned... it was something most of us never witness. She taught me how to face the inevitable with courage and grace. I see you in her. Like her, she had a plan, was accepting of her fate and she did it her way. Bless you dear Dan. Thanks you so much for your story, it's an important one! For now, I look forward to your video on your vacation. The friend you met up with is one awesome person and I'm sure she was blessed by your presence. Thanks again... sending love, peace, and comfort your way. ❤
I’m so sorry, Daniel. I wish there were something I could do. My prayers are with you. Four weeks ago, I had surgery for possible breast cancer. I was thinking about you as I was going into the OR, and just prayed that no matter the outcome, I could handle it with the strength and courage you have shown during your battle. My pathology report showed no signs of cancer, my surgeon said if I had waited any longer that the type of tumor I had would have become cancerous. While I’m thankful for myself, I remain mindful of those who don’t have the outcome I did. I’m now volunteering with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and I’m using my experience to the fullest.
Your words were so kind and your desire to volunteer is touching. How wonderful that you had good results from your biopsy. Unfortunately, I also found a tiny lump in my breast 3 years ago and my biopsy was positive for cancer; however, it was a stage one with negative lymph node involvement so I underwent a lumpectomy and a course of radiation.. it could have been so much worse and I am so grateful for the good outcome I had. With that said, it is always in the back of my mind that it could rear its ugly head at any time and that none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. I just wanted to say that your comment touched me and that I wish you well. Take care of yourself and I hope you find fulfillment in your volunteer role.
@@connieb4372 Thank you so much! You’re so sweet! I am so glad your cancer wasn’t any worse! I know that fear of it coming back has got to be so hard! I have the BRCA gene mutation and it’s terrifying! I had a total hysterectomy and took Tamoxifen to try and lower my risk. I started having mammograms at 26 years old because of my strong family history of breast cancer. I’m adopted and so thankful that my birth mother’s family notified the adoption agency so that I could be proactive and take the steps needed! Sadly, out of 9 women and one man in my biological family that had breast cancer, there are no survivors including my birth mother who died at 43 years old. Sadly they were far below the poverty level, and never got mammograms and by the time they were diagnosed it was too late. I’m blessed to have been adopted by a family that had the means to make sure I got anything done that I needed. I had severe scoliosis and had to have surgery for that. I thank God every single day for my blessings, and if I can help others along the way, I’m honored to do so! I’ll be praying for you!
Thank you Daniel. Thank you for your generosity of sharing your progress or how it is progressing. You don’t owe us anything, but here you are uploading a video. Thank you!
Daniel, I hope fervently that your oncologist and medical team are watching your videos. They are a valuable way for understanding the path you are walking. And you will help others as you educate them in the sensitivities involved. You are so generous in your sharing and I love you.
That's a great idea of having his Dr's watch the videos to see a pts experience first hand. Often times they have no idea what goes on after the pt walks out the door. Would also be good for those in school.
@@siouxgirl2703 Being a cancer survivor myself, I feel a closeness to those who suffer. This man, Dan, is a treasure. Each of us approach the disease differently and the doctors need to see their patient’s human thoughts and stuff.
This was a really heavy video to watch. Still it was so honest, pure and i felt close to you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for all the videos. Hope you wont suffer and be with your friends and family. Thanks Daniël. You are a beautyfull soul. Hope you have good days and a good trip. Much love from Esther. The Netherlands. Allways followd you because you are special.
You are making good thoughtful decisions, you need daily quality of life improvements. You are doing great work, breathe, you inspire greatness. I care deeply for your safe keeping, support to you daily.
No amount of advice can help at this stage in the disease. I'm just writing to say I'm here until the end with you. I just hope you are not in pain when you pass. Comfort is the main focus now. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability on TH-cam.
I am so sorry and I don't know what else to say. I always hope you are having some good days, and I wanted you to have the best vacation. Your doctors have been telling you "months" for years. They don't know. I just hope you can be comfortable and do the things that you are really wanting to do. I just lost a good friend in April due to cancer. He kept doing as much as he could as long as he could, but with the assistance of hospice. I know not everyone believes in an afterlife. But as my friend was going in and out of consciousness, he would tell us that "he had been visiting the other side " and that "he couldn't wait to be able to go there and stay". The last thing he did before closing his eyes, was look up to the sky and smile. I've never seen him look so happy. I wish you comfort and peace, and another Christmas with your family and friends.
I'm so sorry about the news. You are such a strong person and such an inspiration to live life to the fullest. I am hoping that you can have one last Christmas, and maybe even New year's with your family. You're such a fighter!
Thank you for sharing your life with the internet. You have a wonderful calmness and grace that will not be forgotten by anyone who has watched your videos. My thoughts are with you.
How sweet that your cat came up when you were talking about the amount of time that the doctor was giving you.. how pets can sense changes in our voice or our demeanor that are not even perceptible to us and what comfort they can give. I thought of you on your vacation because we were on our vacation at the same time and I hoped that you were having a grand time with your old mate and hopefully you were able to relax some and catch up a bit.. and I hope you were able to have some respite. I don't know you, of course, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your struggles and triumphs with us. Words sound so hollow but please know that they are truly heartfelt for you Mr. Becker, and I hope that this new procedure and drain placement can offer some relief from the ascites in your abdomen. I'm looking forward to your vacation video whenever you can get it posted. Again, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dan, your humility and grace is so at the forefront of who you are. I admire your bravery in the face of such a devastating disease. I don’t know if I could be so open and giving as you have been as we’ve traveled on this journey with you.
Daniel, what a courageous man you are. While your followers don't know you personally, we hate what you are going thru. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us and allowing us to see the ups and downs of your experience. I pray your able to fulfill your last wishes my friend. God bless you.
With my father in law, we had Thanksgiving and Christmas on the same day, two weeks prior to Thanksgiving. He died of pancreatic cancer 2 days after our double holiday. Something none of us will ever forget or ever regret. Think about it. Consider yourself hugged. I may have until Jan/Feb., very uncertain. You inspire me to do the most I can in the shortest time I have. Sending love and compassion to you Dan.
Oh Daniel your video had me in tears. I've watched all your vlogs and I really feel for you. I hope you manage to do the things you want to do. You are one of the sweetest souls I have known and I will be praying for you. I hope the drain helps you. Sending hugs and 💘
I've been so worried about you, and was hoping for better news in this last video. I hope you were able to enjoy your vacation even though you weren't feeling well. Taking one day at a time is great advice. You will be so missed by everyone. 🙏❤
Oh wow, this was really hard to watch, but thank you for taking the time to give us an update (which you don't owe us!). ❤️ I wish I had known you IRL. You seem like such a wonderful man. It breaks my heart you are going through this. I wish I could go through the screen and give you a real hug. Your grace and courage going through this terrible disease is inspiring. We are all here for you. I really hope you get some relief with the drain. ❤️
You are a lovely man who shows such courage and grace throughout this ordeal. I have grown to care about you very much without ever meeting you. I do pray for you and I hope you get your Christmas. Much love.
Love and hugs Daniel, I wish you had someone with you to go through this with.my husband had the same as you. Your in my thoughts all the time your a special person know your loved.x❤️🇬🇧
It was only a year ago I discovered your channel, when my best friend announced he had months to live (pancreatic cancer). I followed your journey because your brutal honesty is something I desperately needed in order to be a true friend to him. I wish I could have been the same type of friend to you. When the time comes, I wish you a peaceful and beautiful ending. It's the very least you deserve. Thank you so much for
I'm still praying for you, Daniel. I'm not a religious person, but I believe God has a plan for all of us. And when your day comes, God is going to say... this guy is good and I'm giving him lots of responsibility in Heaven. Good bless you, Daniel!
I'm not a religious person either so I don't pray to any popular deity. I do implore whatever good there is in the universe to help care for the people that I care about. I believe in Good and I believe in Evil. I definitely consider cancer to be evil and vile. I hope that good things will happen for you still. My own father suffered from pancreatic cancer, that's what finally took him out, so I'm unfortunately familiar with how uncomfortable someone is when they're bloated and need to have all that fluid drained. I'm so so sorry that this is happening to you. My father never would discuss his cancer or give us any indication of how he was feeling about the possibility of leaving Earth sooner than he should. He was very brave and stoic but it made it difficult to deal with his loss not knowing how he felt. One of the reasons I started watching your channel was because you were discussing your cancer. It's been very mentally helpful for me to listen to you discuss how you deal with it and to listen to you express some of your feelings. Your approach to your cancer treatment and diagnosis has helped to ease my mind about what my father went through alone and silently when he didn't have to. I know your openness and honesty has really helped me process my own father's passing. I want to thank you. I'm sure I'm not the only one that watches your channel that you've helped. Thank you, I'm seriously eternally grateful to you.
You have impacted my life and became someone I care dearly for. I prayed to Jehovah tonight to hold your hand and give you a calmness and confidence that you will be written in his book of life. I would so like to meet you in his kingdom where there will be good health and no more suffering. Hugs and kisses, thank you for your generosity in sharing yourself with us.
The most important thing in all your "stuff" is your animals. Please ensure that they are going to someone who will really want and love them for the rest of their lives!
You have been so strong during this whole crappy journey you’re on. I just found out I have lung cancer I hope I can be as brave as you have been. My thoughts have been with you lots but I will be thinking of you way more. Wish there was something we could do for you Sending you a big hug.
Dearest Daniel, my heart breaks for you but I am so touched by your courage and strength. You were on my mind when I had my recent colonoscopy and I had 2 cysts and 2 adenomas removed. While I am cancer-free, I was worried about the situation before my procedure. I watched your videos and gained strength and confidence from you. Thank you for sharing. Do consider hospice as one of your followers suggested. They really are wonderful caregivers. I am so happy you got to go on your vacation. Hold onto those happy moments and one thing more, I have eternal salvation and I know where I’m going when I die. This gives me peace and comfort to face death totally unafraid. I pray this for you too. Sending you much love and prayers from Texas!!
Daniel, I really hate that you are living alone through all of this. I would come from Texas in a heartbeat to be with you if I could. My husband is also battling cancer. You have been in my prayers since I first found your channel. I will continue to pray you will at least make it through the year. 🙇♀️
My heart has just broken a little for this stranger on the internet. I think I speak for the whole of humanity when I say that cancer can just fuck right off. Hope you are feeling more comfortable soon to help you make the absolute most of whatever time you have left 🖤💜🖤
This was a hard one to watch. Not sure what to say, I just want you to know that you have had an effect on people you will probably never get to meet, in ways you can't begin to imagine. I feel I can't explain myself any better without sounding weirdly intense. I guess what I can say is that watching you, I feel I am getting something I really need in this moment so it's almost like you're taking care of people without actually trying or even wanting to.
Daniel. So sorry to hear, u have been a inspiration to us. Praying for many many months for u. I too am terminal, pancreatic/liver cancer. Had jaundice couple years ago. Cancer dr gave me all they had to give. So the 15 of sept called hospice. They r wonderful. They said could get jaundice at any time. Have u thought of taking ensure and call hospice? Ensure will give u needed calories and protein. And hospice will keep u comfortable. They have me. U might think about it. They do the drain for u. Iam 67. Sorry to hear u r so young. Good luck and pray for u.
I am sorry Daniel. Your cat made me happy. I have the awful bloat from Ovarian masses. It is the worst feeling, I hope the drain helps relieve the horrible pressure.
Thank you for the update. I think the drain is a good idea, I am praying for you and thinking about you each day. Yes I agree with people's post this was very difficult to watch all of us love you.
💯❤🎈🎁🎀🧸🤗 glad u enjoyed yr relaxing holiday look forward very brave with the drain situation our superhero u never complain !!!! Inspirational totally stay safe dear poet friend xxx
Daniel even though many of us haven't met you we all lov and care for you..I pray that God give you his peace during these difficult times .a peace that is beyond human understanding..
oh Daniel! i just love you so much. you are a precious person...such a GOODGOOD man. thank you so for sharing yourself with us. youre an inspiration. i am certain you will be able to accomplish wonderful things between now and "then." i appreciate you and your outlook on life and people. you are magnificent. take great care of you. i look forward to hearing your next update. im sending you all the love and light. less than three
Hey Daniel I really hope you read these comments because we’re a whole community of people who love you so much❤️ we’re with in this all the way. This may sound ridiculous but we really only ever have this moment not tomorrow or yesterday and sometimes that one realization gets me through😊❤️ I love and appreciate all you’re honesty and beauty throughout this journey. Just wanted to say that hospice is such a caring and lovely place and only there to aid in your comfort, I love the people that work in hospice at least in philly where I’ve had many of my loved ones. I hope the drain helps , hope you have some beautiful times ahead and hope I hear from you soon❤️with all of my heart💕
Daniel. I'm so fond of you. I wish I could've known you in real life. You're behaving with such grace & courage- setting a bar I hope to remember when my time approaches. Again, truly wish we'd known each other....Keep us posted in the coming months, we need to hear your observations & thoughts! Love to you.
*I'm not going to sit around and mope* Thanks for this attitude and for saying this. Its true none of us know exactly how much time we have...so we must all act like you. Doing as much as we can, while we can. Thank you for making me think more today❤
Daniel, we all care for you so much. You have shown so much courage. If any illness like this happens to me, I’m going to remember how you reached out to others and just spoke. Just talked about what you are going through. Your honesty draws all our love. I pray you find comfort during this trial you are enduring.
Hi Daniel. I am so sorry you aren’t feeling well. I’m glad to have gotten the alert about this video because I was getting worried. Prayers and love to you! 🙏💕
Oh Dear Sweet Daniel. I find myself unable to comment anything of any real substance or value in this moment, although we all understood that eventually this moment would regrettably come. So please take the positivity, care, and love my heart is as always, sending to you, your family, and our little internet family that your beautiful spirit, grace, and open vulnerability has grown in sharing this very intimate part of your life journey with us. I'm always here for you. 🤍💙💜
Your dignity through this has been so unbelievably and incredibly impressive. This video brings out the mama in me. I want to sit with you and stroke your hair to try to bring you a small amount of comfort. I admire your strength through all of this. The tears are flowing. I have come to feel as if I know you through your videos. {HUGS}
This is all just heartbreaking news. Knocked the wind out of me. Had to pause your video to cry and then collect myself. So very sorry things are going this way.
Daniel, I am so sorry you are going through this. I know your pain. I know that very fullness you are going through. Nothing seems to help long term. I know the horrible taste you describe. Mine is a constant metallic taste. I know the feeling of struggling to breathe. I cannot sleep. Too much on my mind. But seeing your tonight made me see how much courage you have. I have been following you for a good while now. I find comfort from you. I want to have courage like you. Wish I could jump through this screen and give you the biggest hug. You have helped me on my journey. I feel things are progressing for me as well and I Ihope we connect on the other side. If I go before you, I will proudly wait for you. Thank you for sharing your journey. Much love and mad respect to you.
Daniel, I've been following your cancer journey for a while now and I've always thought you are someone I would want to be friends with. I consider you a friend even though we never have and never will meet. Make your remaining time the best it can be for you. Continuing prayers for comfort, peace and understanding for you, your family and friends. Love to you Daniel...
It's so strange to care so much about a person you will never know or talk to.....but I care! I cant imagine a world with out a "hello internet". I am praying for you and all who love you. I hope to meet you on the other side my friend. I pray all the rest of your days are beautiful.
Dear Daniel, the tears are flowing for you, hang in there and realize that everyone out here is praying for you.
Daniel, I am sorry that the cancer is progressing so fast let alone progressing… My continued prayers for peace and comfort for you. You’re not alone as we are all hear for you. Been missing you. Glad you had a good vacation.
I think I can speak for all of your followers when I say that you have fought with such courage and grace. You’re loved by all who know you. To all of us who watch your videos, you are our hero! You may not realize the impact you’ve made on us all! Your kind and generous spirit is so precious! We’ll all be praying for you on Monday, and always!
Long live the King
Daniel u r a true hero! ☀️🏆🥇
Oh Daniel, this was difficult to watch. I can’t imagine a world without you. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers & may you find comfort with the drain placement. I want to come through the screen and hug you so tight. Take care of yourself.
Me too...
@@angelafernandez9927 same.
Me too.
I feel the same
You said what we are all thinking. I cried. I don’t want him to have to go through this

After dealing with the deaths of several relatives, my only advice is this: go visit the ones you want, and skip the big reunion. We tried to make it so that my grandma's relatives could see her one last time, and some of them wanted to take over her care so they could save her (from complete organ failure). One even called the police. Death upsets people, and they will react in ways you would never consider.*Your* goodbyes should be the only ones that matter.
ABsolutely agree. Too many well meaning souls will tire you out. Keep it simple. I know of what I speak. Love ❤️ you
Completely agree
My grandfather wasnt ill, but he had a large 100th birthday bash ..
His frail elderly sister travelled from Canada to Britain ..
..and didnt get to see him much .
Its so difficult to really make the party meaningful
when you havent got enough time to chat to everyone.
Grandpa was exhausted and spent alot if time with people
..from his local club rather than concentrating on those who
..he rarely sees ...( like his poor sister ).
Also the newspaper reporgers turned up and hogged his time.
Would have been much better if grandpa had just kept the party small
..with close family and friends ...everyone would have been happier .
He would have been more relaxed and less tired .
Its a difficult one isnt it ....
I guess everyone is different ...
I cannot begin to comprehend how this must feel. You're showing amazing courage. Knowing what you know, is all well with your soul? That's the thing that will matter most.
Daniel, you might check into hospice. They are rockstars at getting through the red tape of patient care.
You are so gracious and have an endearing presence. You’ve had a great impact on me. I would have loved knowing you IRL and look forward to your videos.
Hospice will come to you; you can have Home Service without having to check into a Hospice Center. That is what my wife and I had. She passed at home where she wanted to be
He is in hospice now
This message was so hard to watch. I can’t imagine a world without you. I will keep you in my prayers. XXOO
You crossed my mind today just wanted you to know that
As someone else said,this was hard to watch,but nowhere near as hard for us as for you. Talking to my husband about you,it feels like I'm losing a friend.

All I can say that I'm sending you love and light as ever and hope that you will achieve all your goals. Take care,lovely man. You really are loved x
You may not live to a ripe old age, but the way you have lived and affected so many lives in a positive way, is tribute to your wisdom, inner strength and courage, and I for one am glad I got to see so many glimpses of them through your videos.
So true😊

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Not ready to hear this, Daniel.
I hope you know just how LOVED YOU are!! 💙💙💙❤
Major respect Daniel. Triple hugs from Australia. I have learnt a lot from your courage, your gentleness and your attitude to living. Amid all your anguish your love of family and cats is so beautiful. You are one of the good ones so glad I found you. Much love.xx
I have very little words 😢 I’ll continue to pray for a miracle for you, also peace and complete comfort. You’re strong, 😢 💙💜
So sad still...I come back to see him. BRAVE BEAUTIFUL SOUL
Viva here...hang in there,handsome...hang in there...big hug
While it's difficult to hear of you speak of your impending death, it's not the first time I've listened to a friend speak of this. I lost many friends in the past few years, 2 of which were identical twins, my childhood friends... all of them to cancer, 3 began as liver cancer. The one twin I spent many days with her, taking meals, cleaning, and reminiscing. She had the very same attitude as you. I learned so much from her and appreciated every single day that I had the privilege of spending with her. She would carefully pick from her possessions and give to every visitor. She would sit with her husband and brief him on how to pay the bills. She wrote letters to her 2 sons. She planned... it was something most of us never witness. She taught me how to face the inevitable with courage and grace. I see you in her. Like her, she had a plan, was accepting of her fate and she did it her way. Bless you dear Dan. Thanks you so much for your story, it's an important one! For now, I look forward to your video on your vacation. The friend you met up with is one awesome person and I'm sure she was blessed by your presence. Thanks again... sending love, peace, and comfort your way. ❤
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, I hope the drains give you much relief.🥰🌹
I’m so sorry, Daniel. I wish there were something I could do. My prayers are with you. Four weeks ago, I had surgery for possible breast cancer. I was thinking about you as I was going into the OR, and just prayed that no matter the outcome, I could handle it with the strength and courage you have shown during your battle. My pathology report showed no signs of cancer, my surgeon said if I had waited any longer that the type of tumor I had would have become cancerous. While I’m thankful for myself, I remain mindful of those who don’t have the outcome I did. I’m now volunteering with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and I’m using my experience to the fullest.
Your words were so kind and your desire to volunteer is touching. How wonderful that you had good results from your biopsy. Unfortunately, I also found a tiny lump in my breast 3 years ago and my biopsy was positive for cancer; however, it was a stage one with negative lymph node involvement so I underwent a lumpectomy and a course of radiation.. it could have been so much worse and I am so grateful for the good outcome I had. With that said, it is always in the back of my mind that it could rear its ugly head at any time and that none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. I just wanted to say that your comment touched me and that I wish you well. Take care of yourself and I hope you find fulfillment in your volunteer role.
@@connieb4372 Thank you so much! You’re so sweet! I am so glad your cancer wasn’t any worse! I know that fear of it coming back has got to be so hard! I have the BRCA gene mutation and it’s terrifying! I had a total hysterectomy and took Tamoxifen to try and lower my risk. I started having mammograms at 26 years old because of my strong family history of breast cancer. I’m adopted and so thankful that my birth mother’s family notified the adoption agency so that I could be proactive and take the steps needed! Sadly, out of 9 women and one man in my biological family that had breast cancer, there are no survivors including my birth mother who died at 43 years old. Sadly they were far below the poverty level, and never got mammograms and by the time they were diagnosed it was too late. I’m blessed to have been adopted by a family that had the means to make sure I got anything done that I needed. I had severe scoliosis and had to have surgery for that. I thank God every single day for my blessings, and if I can help others along the way, I’m honored to do so! I’ll be praying for you!
God Bless You ! I am Sure you will help Many .
I go in on the 25th for a complete hysterectomy due to concerning cells. Im terrified but know that I have to do this.
@@patsygroves3812 Thank you so much! I’m sure going to do my best!
Thank you Daniel. Thank you for your generosity of sharing your progress or how it is progressing. You don’t owe us anything, but here you are uploading a video. Thank you!
You are in my prayers all the time x
I pray for you, Daniel
I'm really sad. I hope you're spared as much pain as possible on your last journey :(
Sending loving , healing thoughts your way Daniel. 💕
Daniel, I hope fervently that your oncologist and medical team are watching your videos. They are a valuable way for understanding the path you are walking. And you will help others as you educate them in the sensitivities involved. You are so generous in your sharing and I love you.
That's a great idea of having his Dr's watch the videos to see a pts experience first hand. Often times they have no idea what goes on after the pt walks out the door. Would also be good for those in school.
@@siouxgirl2703 Being a cancer survivor myself, I feel a closeness to those who suffer. This man, Dan, is a treasure. Each of us approach the disease differently and the doctors need to see their patient’s human thoughts and stuff.
This was a really heavy video to watch. Still it was so honest, pure and i felt close to you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for all the videos. Hope you wont suffer and be with your friends and family. Thanks Daniël. You are a beautyfull soul. Hope you have good days and a good trip. Much love from Esther. The Netherlands. Allways followd you because you are special.
So sad we never got to see your vacation video RIP
Hahaha
You are making good thoughtful decisions, you need daily quality of life improvements. You are doing great work, breathe, you inspire greatness. I care deeply for your safe keeping, support to you daily.
No amount of advice can help at this stage in the disease. I'm just writing to say I'm here until the end with you. I just hope you are not in pain when you pass. Comfort is the main focus now. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability on TH-cam.
He's not showing his "vulnerability", you fool, he's showing his soul
His "vulnerability" ? Lol, you cannot be more idiot than this, can you, little Danielle?
Not sure where you both are coming from with that. I’m not going to stoop to your level though. Have a nice day.
I am so sorry and I don't know what else to say. I always hope you are having some good days, and I wanted you to have the best vacation. Your doctors have been telling you "months" for years. They don't know. I just hope you can be comfortable and do the things that you are really wanting to do. I just lost a good friend in April due to cancer. He kept doing as much as he could as long as he could, but with the assistance of hospice. I know not everyone believes in an afterlife. But as my friend was going in and out of consciousness, he would tell us that "he had been visiting the other side " and that "he couldn't wait to be able to go there and stay". The last thing he did before closing his eyes, was look up to the sky and smile. I've never seen him look so happy. I wish you comfort and peace, and another Christmas with your family and friends.
You are loved by many. Thank you for sharing. I and praying. You are never alone. God and His angels are with your.
I'm so sorry about the news. You are such a strong person and such an inspiration to live life to the fullest. I am hoping that you can have one last Christmas, and maybe even New year's with your family. You're such a fighter!
Thank you for sharing your life with the internet. You have a wonderful calmness and grace that will not be forgotten by anyone who has watched your videos. My thoughts are with you.
This was a hard video to watch Daniel sending you love and prayers from Scotland 🏴 ❤️
I'm sorry to hear this news. You are in my thoughts.
How sweet that your cat came up when you were talking about the amount of time that the doctor was giving you.. how pets can sense changes in our voice or our demeanor that are not even perceptible to us and what comfort they can give. I thought of you on your vacation because we were on our vacation at the same time and I hoped that you were having a grand time with your old mate and hopefully you were able to relax some and catch up a bit.. and I hope you were able to have some respite. I don't know you, of course, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your struggles and triumphs with us. Words sound so hollow but please know that they are truly heartfelt for you Mr. Becker, and I hope that this new procedure and drain placement can offer some relief from the ascites in your abdomen. I'm looking forward to your vacation video whenever you can get it posted. Again, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart is crying right now , I can't believe how emotional I feel for you, I'd love mircle for you and longer longer life.
Dan, your humility and grace is so at the forefront of who you are. I admire your bravery in the face of such a devastating disease. I don’t know if I could be so open and giving as you have been as we’ve traveled on this journey with you.
Daniel, what a courageous man you are. While your followers don't know you personally, we hate what you are going thru. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us and allowing us to see the ups and downs of your experience. I pray your able to fulfill your last wishes my friend. God bless you.
Daniel * you been fighting all the this journey * juat keep on fighting and at least you have your last xmas * you deserve x
With my father in law, we had Thanksgiving and Christmas on the same day, two weeks prior to Thanksgiving. He died of pancreatic cancer 2 days after our double holiday. Something none of us will ever forget or ever regret. Think about it. Consider yourself hugged. I may have until Jan/Feb., very uncertain. You inspire me to do the most I can in the shortest time I have. Sending love and compassion to you Dan.
🙏💛
Healing Prayers for You ! May God Bless You and Be With You Always ! IJMN AMEN !
❤️🙏
@@breephoenix111 Thank you.
@@patsygroves3812 Thank you.
With you in spirit🙏🏻 You are a warrior.
Prayers Way Up🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh Daniel your video had me in tears. I've watched all your vlogs and I really feel for you. I hope you manage to do the things you want to do. You are one of the sweetest souls I have known and I will be praying for you. I hope the drain helps you. Sending hugs and 💘
My Heart goes out to you Daniels prayers for peace
It really makes me sad 😞 I am so sorry I am thinking about you
I've been so worried about you, and was hoping for better news in this last video. I hope you were able to enjoy your vacation even though you weren't feeling well. Taking one day at a time is great advice. You will be so missed by everyone. 🙏❤
Oh wow, this was really hard to watch, but thank you for taking the time to give us an update (which you don't owe us!). ❤️ I wish I had known you IRL. You seem like such a wonderful man. It breaks my heart you are going through this. I wish I could go through the screen and give you a real hug. Your grace and courage going through this terrible disease is inspiring. We are all here for you. I really hope you get some relief with the drain. ❤️
You are a lovely man who shows such courage and grace throughout this ordeal. I have grown to care about you very much without ever meeting you. I do pray for you and I hope you get your Christmas. Much love.
Love and hugs Daniel, I wish you had someone with you to go through this with.my husband had the same as you. Your in my thoughts all the time your a special person know your loved.x❤️🇬🇧
My heart is breaking.
I’m sorry Daniel. Yes, please do what you can…you are still here, do what you can and enjoy. I just hope you do find some physical comfort 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
It was only a year ago I discovered your channel, when my best friend announced he had months to live (pancreatic cancer). I followed your journey because your brutal honesty is something I desperately needed in order to be a true friend to him. I wish I could have been the same type of friend to you.
When the time comes, I wish you a peaceful and beautiful ending. It's the very least you deserve.
Thank you so much for
Thinking of you, stay strong as you are, sending love from London, UK x
Have an early Christmas with your family. Spend as much time with them as possible. Wishing you comfort and peace.
I'm still praying for you, Daniel. I'm not a religious person, but I believe God has a plan for all of us. And when your day comes, God is going to say... this guy is good and I'm giving him lots of responsibility in Heaven. Good bless you, Daniel!
I'm not a religious person either so I don't pray to any popular deity. I do implore whatever good there is in the universe to help care for the people that I care about. I believe in Good and I believe in Evil. I definitely consider cancer to be evil and vile. I hope that good things will happen for you still. My own father suffered from pancreatic cancer, that's what finally took him out, so I'm unfortunately familiar with how uncomfortable someone is when they're bloated and need to have all that fluid drained. I'm so so sorry that this is happening to you. My father never would discuss his cancer or give us any indication of how he was feeling about the possibility of leaving Earth sooner than he should. He was very brave and stoic but it made it difficult to deal with his loss not knowing how he felt. One of the reasons I started watching your channel was because you were discussing your cancer. It's been very mentally helpful for me to listen to you discuss how you deal with it and to listen to you express some of your feelings. Your approach to your cancer treatment and diagnosis has helped to ease my mind about what my father went through alone and silently when he didn't have to. I know your openness and honesty has really helped me process my own father's passing. I want to thank you. I'm sure I'm not the only one that watches your channel that you've helped. Thank you, I'm seriously eternally grateful to you.
Prayers Daniel! I’m speechless. God bless you! 😢🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
My dad passed last Saturday. Six weeks after bladder cancer diagnosis
Too quick
Good to see you have a timeline and goals
You have impacted my life and became someone I care dearly for. I prayed to Jehovah tonight to hold your hand and give you a calmness and confidence that you will be written in his book of life. I would so like to meet you in his kingdom where there will be good health and no more suffering. Hugs and kisses, thank you for your generosity in sharing yourself with us.
The most important thing in all your "stuff" is your animals. Please ensure that they are going to someone who will really want and love them
for the rest of their lives!
In the video he speaks about it. He has arranged for the cats already.
He is an intelligent man and surely knows this. Your comment is unnecessary and comes off very rude and presumptuous.
You have been so strong during this whole crappy journey you’re on. I just found out I have lung cancer I hope I can be as brave as you have been. My thoughts have been with you lots but I will be thinking of you way more. Wish there was something we could do for you Sending you a big hug.
Dearest Daniel, my heart breaks for you but I am so touched by your courage and strength. You were on my mind when I had my recent colonoscopy and I had 2 cysts and 2 adenomas removed. While I am cancer-free, I was worried about the situation before my procedure. I watched your videos and gained strength and confidence from you. Thank you for sharing.
Do consider hospice as one of your followers suggested. They really are wonderful caregivers.
I am so happy you got to go on your vacation. Hold onto those happy moments and one thing more, I have eternal salvation and I know where I’m going when I die. This gives me peace and comfort to face death totally unafraid. I pray this for you too.
Sending you much love and prayers from Texas!!
Daniel, I really hate that you are living alone through all of this. I would come from Texas in a heartbeat to be with you if I could. My husband is also battling cancer. You have been in my prayers since I first found your channel. I will continue to pray you will at least make it through the year. 🙇♀️
Has to suck anticipating your end. Prayers for you to be the most comfortable. Praying for you.
My heart has just broken a little for this stranger on the internet. I think I speak for the whole of humanity when I say that cancer can just fuck right off. Hope you are feeling more comfortable soon to help you make the absolute most of whatever time you have left 🖤💜🖤
This was a hard one to watch. Not sure what to say, I just want you to know that you have had an effect on people you will probably never get to meet, in ways you can't begin to imagine. I feel I can't explain myself any better without sounding weirdly intense. I guess what I can say is that watching you, I feel I am getting something I really need in this moment so it's almost like you're taking care of people without actually trying or even wanting to.
Hugs from Australia Daniel x everyone is so fond of you take care.
Double hugs from Australia 💜🇦🇺🥰
Triple hugs from another Susan in Australia ❤
🇦🇺🙏🙏💛
I am so sorry that you have to go through so much. It‘s not fair and we may never understand why so many good people have to suffer in this world.
Daniel. So sorry to hear, u have been a inspiration to us. Praying for many many months for u. I too am terminal, pancreatic/liver cancer. Had jaundice couple years ago. Cancer dr gave me all they had to give. So the 15 of sept called hospice. They r wonderful. They said could get jaundice at any time. Have u thought of taking ensure and call hospice? Ensure will give u needed calories and protein. And hospice will keep u comfortable. They have me. U might think about it. They do the drain for u. Iam 67. Sorry to hear u r so young. Good luck and pray for u.
I am sorry Daniel. Your cat made me happy. I have the awful bloat from Ovarian masses. It is the worst feeling, I hope the drain helps relieve the horrible pressure.
I cant imagine how you are feeling....I pray for peace and healing for you....🙏🙏
Thank you for the update. I think the drain is a good idea, I am praying for you and thinking about you each day. Yes I agree with people's post this was very difficult to watch all of us love you.
💯❤🎈🎁🎀🧸🤗 glad u enjoyed yr relaxing holiday look forward
very brave with the drain situation our superhero u never complain !!!! Inspirational totally stay safe dear poet friend xxx
Daniel even though many of us haven't met you we all lov and care for you..I pray that God give you his peace during these difficult times .a peace that is beyond human understanding..
oh Daniel! i just love you so much. you are a precious person...such a GOODGOOD man. thank you so for sharing yourself with us. youre an inspiration. i am certain you will be able to accomplish wonderful things between now and "then." i appreciate you and your outlook on life and people. you are magnificent. take great care of you. i look forward to hearing your next update. im sending you all the love and light. less than three
Hey Daniel I really hope you read these comments because we’re a whole community of people who love you so much❤️ we’re with in this all the way. This may sound ridiculous but we really only ever have this moment not tomorrow or yesterday and sometimes that one realization gets me through😊❤️ I love and appreciate all you’re honesty and beauty throughout this journey. Just wanted to say that hospice is such a caring and lovely place and only there to aid in your comfort, I love the people that work in hospice at least in philly where I’ve had many of my loved ones. I hope the drain helps , hope you have some beautiful times ahead and hope I hear from you soon❤️with all of my heart💕
Daniel. I'm so fond of you. I wish I could've known you in real life. You're behaving with such grace & courage- setting a bar I hope to remember when my time approaches. Again, truly wish we'd known each other....Keep us posted in the coming months, we need to hear your observations & thoughts! Love to you.
Such a hard thing to go through. I am thankful that you are still around but you are teaching me so much through your videos. Much love! Xoxo
Lifting you up in prayer.
*I'm not going to sit around and mope* Thanks for this attitude and for saying this. Its true none of us know exactly how much time we have...so we must all act like you. Doing as much as we can, while we can. Thank you for making me think more today❤
And we know...to be absent from the body....is to be present with the Lord...You have no reason to fear...God is with you!!!
Daniel, we all care for you so much. You have shown so much courage. If any illness like this happens to me, I’m going to remember how you reached out to others and just spoke. Just talked about what you are going through. Your honesty draws all our love. I pray you find comfort during this trial you are enduring.
Daniel, I hope you are still with us all in the new year ,still telling us your stories. I don't want to think of you not being around.
Hi Daniel. I am so sorry you aren’t feeling well. I’m glad to have gotten the alert about this video because I was getting worried. Prayers and love to you! 🙏💕
Oh Dear Sweet Daniel. I find myself unable to comment anything of any real substance or value in this moment, although we all understood that eventually this moment would regrettably come.
So please take the positivity, care, and love my heart is as always, sending to you, your family, and our little internet family that your beautiful spirit, grace, and open vulnerability has grown in sharing this very intimate part of your life journey with us.
I'm always here for you. 🤍💙💜
So sorry that you are going thru this.You are a very brave and nice person. Hugs.Enjoy every day.
Your dignity through this has been so unbelievably and incredibly impressive. This video brings out the mama in me. I want to sit with you and stroke your hair to try to bring you a small amount of comfort. I admire your strength through all of this. The tears are flowing. I have come to feel as if I know you through your videos. {HUGS}
This is all just heartbreaking news. Knocked the wind out of me. Had to pause your video to cry and then collect myself. So very sorry things are going this way.
Daniel, I am so sorry you are going through this. I know your pain. I know that very fullness you are going through. Nothing seems to help long term. I know the horrible taste you describe. Mine is a constant metallic taste. I know the feeling of struggling to breathe. I cannot sleep. Too much on my mind. But seeing your tonight made me see how much courage you have. I have been following you for a good while now. I find comfort from you. I want to have courage like you. Wish I could jump through this screen and give you the biggest hug. You have helped me on my journey. I feel things are progressing for me as well and I Ihope we connect on the other side. If I go before you, I will proudly wait for you. Thank you for sharing your journey. Much love and mad respect to you.
I have been very worried about you, so glad you were able to post on you tube. God bless you..
Daniel, I've been following your cancer journey for a while now and I've always thought you are someone I would want to be friends with. I consider you a friend even though we never have and never will meet. Make your remaining time the best it can be for you. Continuing prayers for comfort, peace and understanding for you, your family and friends. Love to you Daniel...
