    I just wanted to let Daniel and his family know what a impact Daniels story has had on my life. I'm a 58 yr old lady that has lived my life in isolation and loneliness, but watching Daniel has convinced me that I need to turn my life around and I have volunteered to go to N.Carolina in 2 weeks to help with the hurricane cleanup and I have found a church a hour away that helps the homeless in Indianapolis, by providing food and shelter. I'm also going to Holland Michigan to learn how to start a chapter of the Love Sews ministry that sent you your lovely quilt. I realize now that we should never live our lives alone and fearful and through you Daniel, I've learned the love we take is equal to the love we make and you and your wonderful family will always be in my prayers...thank you, for teaching me that it's never to late to just live your life to make the world a better place.

    My mother died of metastatic melanoma in 2012... Still feels like yesterday... Those summer days when I used to wake her up, opening the window and saying "such a beautiful day today huh?" Of course she couldn't speak at that point anymore... But her eyes clearly said "where is this sun, that you all see... That endless blue, that used to be"... Her journey was one of a kind.. The type only, people like you my friend travel and have travelled ... You are indeed very special... Cancer is a journey and it leads to humbleness, wisdom and preparation... It humbles US around... Us STUPID mortals who fight and argue on which smartphone brand is better... We who constantly look on how to drop our body fat percentage lower and lower just for the sake of others.. To look at us and we proudly be like "Hah! I'm the center of attention"... We, stupid mortals become humble at the sight of your eyes and the sound of your voice...
    Wisdom... Anyone can notice how differently people like you speak and see things... Simple words, expressions yet put together in such way that touch your soul, that make you think... Think and accept how thin is the line that devides this bed, the one we don't want to get out from when the morning alarm is ringing , and that other we wish we only had the strength again to get out from...
    And preparation ... My friend Dan... I'm not a man of God... I barely even remember myself at church ever... But I do believe in one thing... What I saw with my mother... And I can say this... After 6 months of being in the most brutal, inhuman agonising and horrific state a human being can possibly be in.. After 6 months through hell.. I do believe
    It feels like heaven, when your eyes finally close... When you see no clouds... Just the light up above...
    Relax... And prepare! :)
    I'm just a nobody... But still I want to say you have my love and respect,
    Cheers buddy

Each time I felt I got a little further from the diagnosis, it reared its head and reminded me who is in charge. I have had a good stretch of "normal" and I'm thankful.

But you've touched my soul. I sit here at 28 years old, healthy, with a good job, a life so far in front of me. You're sitting in a hospital bed, and I complained that I was too tired to even work out. I have that luxury, you don't. I don't know you, but I have love for your words, and you as a person.

    Dan, I massively regret being a lurker and not commenting while you were still posting. I followed your story through to your passing and your spirit has just stuck in my mind ever since. I’ll come back on and rewatch your videos now and then. Now going through my first death of a close one through cancer, and with it happening so horrifically quick, I’m comforted coming back to your videos and what you shared with the world. Your documentation of end of life is so valuable, and deeply touching. I’ll keep using the lessons you so willingly shared with us and try to spread more of that joy and spirit. For all of us fighting battles against horrors in life, we won’t give in, we won’t give up ❤

    My partner and I have been following your journey from the start. I am the same age as you and my partner is 28. We have 2 children who are both under 10. Watching someone slowly die from cancer brings out many emotions. At first, I didn't want to watch as part of me thought this feels a bit wrong as we don't personally know you and what your going through is a very private ordeal.
    This sounds a little selfish considering where you are now, but since watching your videos many of our bad lifestyle habits have changed. Watching you has taught us, (and many others I am sure) that life is precious and to enjoy it as much as you can.
    The name Peeweetoms will live on as someone who is Courageous, Strong and Determined.
    I have total repsect for you and thank you for sharing your journey so far.

There is a commenter here who works in a hospice and knows that patients are not always in there for good, they can be in and out of hospices, and even in certain rare cases they leave and go in remission. One can only hope Dan makes it longer. We very much hope he is spending his time with family, but if he feels well enough to look at any messages then of course people will naturally want to share them.

Instead I found this one and then his family scattering his ashes. I am so heartbroken for him, his beautiful wife and loving family. My heart and prayers are with them.

Lay your head back, and put your arm around your wife my man. This is the time for family and taking the personal time you need.
    Take it easy friend, as I feel this will be my last message to you.
    Sometimes I go a month or so before I comment or get around to you tube.
    From the heart, after losing my brother to cancer and spending our last days in a hospice bedroom changed my life and put me on a path that lead me into working with Hospice now. We temper ourselves in the fires of loss.
    It never gets any easier. And I lose people everyday of my life now. All the people I care for and help make comfortable leave.
    You would think a person gets use to it, but they don't. They just get better at managing the pain. I am very good at this now, but all the same I feel it in my heart and I give you an honest heart felt good bye.
    And I wish only the best to your family and friends.
    Your wife is going to take it the hardest. And it will change her forever on.
    I lost my wife back in 2005. My brother to cancer, and my father to heart attack. All within 4 months.
    So I know what she will be facing. Just know that no matter how much it hurts, we tend to come out of these things stronger and better equipped to help others after we have put ourselves back together.

      I mean if you want a social life it's up to you to make that happen at the end of the day - not to say that there aren't a few factors out of your control, but if you're a nice guy, there are more than enough people out there who would be willing to be friends with you. You've got more than enough time to take your social life from a 0 to 100 if you wanted to. But if you want more time, you might wanna consider making the changes you've highlighted (exercising, eating better etc.). It'll also probably make your life feel more fulfilling. Finally, maybe try for another job, just to spice things up - of course it's fine if you enjoy your current one, but to me it looks like you've gone your entire life just picking the risky, easy, lazy choices. You might come to regret that eventually.
      I'm saying this because what you are is what I'm afraid I'll end up as, as I'm pretty lazy, but I do want to make the most of my life too, so I plan to make changes, putting myself outside my comfort zone to improve my life. I might be younger (17), but from one lazy guy to potentially another, how about we both agree to push for change, to make the most of our limited time on this planet.
      (Idk y I wrote all that, you might not even see it, or worse yet, could take offense somehow.)

However I pray with all my heart that IF you cannot overcome this cancer that you seamlessly move on to everlasting life. I pray that an Arch angel comes for you so you experience the sheer joy so many people have seen on the faces of people who were escorted to the next phase by angelic beings,saints or members of their own family. I pray that Jesus himself comes for you because your kindness has taught us so much. You did so many beautiful deeds on this earth, you gave lessons in humanity and you gave hope!! I love you my friend even if we never met.

    TH-cam recommended Dan's channel to me today and I found myself following his whole journey until this final video. I've recently been grieving my Mum's passing after an aggressive pancreatic tumour which spread to her lungs last year. She was gone within a month of her final diagnosis. Dan's story and will power to carry on and keep fighting has really moved me. What a fun character, he really seemed like someone who brought positivity into everyone's lives. This determination has given me a different perspective on life and how I need to live every day to the fullest, if not for my Mum, but Dan too. I can't help but find myself thinking about him throughout today and feeling quite sad, as if I knew him. His memorial service was quite emotional for me as a result of the loss of such an amazing person and past experience.
    Thank you Dan, for everything you did in the hardest time of your life. Not only have you helped me, but you have supported millions affected by cancer - with the number growing each day. The world will not forget you.

      @Flower Queen If only you understood how it really works. Cancer re$earch (dollar signs for emphasis) is a billion dollar industry that thrives on people's suffering and death. Even though there are more effective treatments that exist, they are not available to most people and you must qualify for a trial to even try them out. And when they do enter the market, they are not covered by most people's insurance due to their ridiculous cost, for example, one treatment of Neulasta (DIY chemo at home kit) costs $1,500! This is all in the name of re$earch. So most cancer victims just endure radiation and chemo like they have for decades to varying results. I doubt you will make a difference but I hope you do. Nobody should have to suffer like Dan did.

    I watch too many of these cancer vlogs, they're depressing but they teach me a lesson about not griping about your problems, which are ridiculously minor in comparison to the problems faced by people like PeeWee Toms. Of all the vlogs I have forced myself to watch the past few years, it is THIS fellow who most stands out in my mind; his intelligence, his awareness of the freight train heading straight towards him, his good humor through to the end. He was a prince. What a class act. I would like to give his folks in England a big hug and tell them about me, a stranger in California, who never met their son, but who thinks about him regularly, even four years after his brave death. RIP, PeeWee. What class.

    Rest and think happy thoughts. When I passed away for a few minutes, I saw a tunnel with the light at the end. I felt a moment of unconditional love, overwhelming joy, an abundance of open arms welcoming me, and I saw/heard my deceased family members out there in the light, which was a field of flowers. A voice told me, “I could either stay or move forward into the light.” I Spoke with him and asked him questions, but never questioned what was beyond the light because I knew what it was. It was Home. My Home that I would interpret as Heaven. I hope this makes your smile. And I hope that you get better. Just rest. Even fighters need to rest too. Think about all the happy memories you’ve had. I know it can be hard, but in the words of Claire Wineland, death is inevitable. We could all get struck by a meteor right now. So live in the moment and be proud of who you are and what you’ve become. You’ve touched many lives, including mine. So think about how proud you are of yourself and rest. Praying for you.
