@Sacerdortus Sacerdotvs What God and what punishments are you talkin about???? This was a brave young man that died teaching us LESSONS we, and You should reflect on.....Shame on you
Kablamo Son mmmm...thanks for defence but I don't even listen to him I know my heart good...I just saying he got so much hotter look at those facial features such chiseled jawline mmmmmm.....yes.....mmmmm....exactly right for a masculine face....so hot and model features....makes me tingle...mmmm....such motivation huge motivation for everyone...yes
@@Jacdon Me as well, and I'm his mum's age, but I followed him and his dear mum. I wonder what he would have thought about how the world is today???. He is for sure happy, free and surly having lots of great fun above for sure. We shall all meet up and talk about this world and lifetime in our next journey, well i believe that. Lobe and light to all, we are still around thinking of the family on here.
I am. My husband died 7th July 2000 aged 32yrs, in the Marsden under the incredible care of the late Professor Martin Gore. I keep checking back so his family can always find me xxx
This is my worst fear, dying slowly without experiencing everything I want in life. Not really a religious person my self, but god I hope there is a heaven for him.
The Lord reaches out to all of us, gives us His hand, and I have no doubt in my mind that God gave him His hand, we can only hope he took it. While there is life there is hope, Ecclesiastes 9:3. Thank you if you read this, may the Holy Spirit work within you, and reveal His love for you, God bless you man, we love you!
PJ Mundy-I just happened to scroll down from my comment...but I too, said basically the same thing."If only I could make a deal with God, and trade places"(It's a song called "Running Up That Hill" by a band called 'Placebo').I've lived a fairly decent life, I've known love, I was married 30yrs, I had 3 great kids, a nice home, cars, a career, everything a person could hope for...but that was then...now,I live alone, no one here for me anymore, and chronically ill, suffering in pain each day. I make little difference to this world, and would absolutely switch places with this beautiful young soul, loved by MILLIONS, who so selflessly gives each day to others.I'm a Believer, but following Dan has tested my faith beyond any limit I've ever known.This is so INCREDIBLY UNFAIR...
Rachael is really cool and funny I too just found this video. I’m sorry.. Ca sucks a$$! You got time. Your helping me live. All any of us have is the present. Much love, respect & prayers
I had cancer at the same time as Dan, I survived. I do come back to visit him here from time to time, it grounds me. Bless you Dan, I do not have the words.
Apart from medical care, salvestrol could be a solution. Check the paper: jeffreydachmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Savestrol-Cases-Studies_JOM_2007_v22_n04_p177.pdf
I’ve struggled finding work a lot this year but whenever I think life is to much I remember this guy and remember that I can still enjoy my friends and family and all of the positives in my life.
Stormbringer2012 I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and 'believe' that you are just an idiot but even so you are an insensitive gobshite to post that. Apologies Dan but much respect and love and sent.
@ShiftCtrl85 no one realises what they got untill it's gone, I get what your saying I find it hard most days to see the point in being alive vut I bet you and I would feel differently about life if we knew we only had a few weeks of it left.
ShiftCtrl85 You’ll be singing a different tune if life ever throws a terminal diagnosis at you. Your whole “woe is me” and “life sucks” attitude is extremely annoying. Let us all know what it’s like when you have some real problems. Because that’s when you’ll realize the little annoyances in your life were actually easy and life really was good.
You already won. You won at life. You are the strongest person I know, I've been following for so many months and I as a cancer patient who met you during my diagnosis.. let me tell you, so much of my strength comes from you. I will always, for the rest of my life, remember you. As I remember Emily almost every day. You won so many respect, your videos and your words will have meaning and serve as inspiration for so many people for so many years. I still don't want to believe this is the end, I want to believe there will be a miracle. I love you so much Dan, please know that you are sooooo loved. I'm crying as I write this. I love you dude, I really do. Thank you for everything, I thank the universe that I "met" you.
Dan, someday in not so far future, I'm gonna talk to my kids about a strong, determined, charismatic and extroverted guy who with his positive energy touched people from all over the world and became eternally in the heart of those who knew him (even by videos). My kids will grow up learning from your videos to give value to the simple things in life Dan. I am sure that at some point in history your legacy will become a Cancer Prevention Institute that affects you at this time and your story will not be in vain my dear. I and all of us will remember you forever! And I hope you keep staying here with us for a long time! You are already a winner! All the best from Brasil Forte abraço
Nice words , my daughter has seen some of Dan's vlogs and she is in awe of him, all kids should see how this wonderfully strong and yet fragile man touched many people's hearts.
I’m just an ordinary mom in the US who has been following you since March. YOU have made me a better person - a better Mom, a better wife, a better sister, a better friend...a better person. YOU DID THAT. And you have done, and continue, to do amazing things for people all over the globe. I am more than inspired by your attitude, courage and spirit. You are always in my thoughts & prayers. You are a hero. In my eyes cancer isn’t winning here, even though the end is inevitably near. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. And that, my dear Dan, is the damned fucking truth. Love you.
Donna Lieval what a beautiful message and one I feel many of us can relate to. Dan has single handedly improved thousands of people’s lives in a variety of ways, that is something truly special that the cancer can never take away.
Gavin Roberts for sure. It makes me never want to touch a cigar again and I was smoking a lot out of stress. Just makes me want to change my life in general. Lifestyle changes. And making sure I appreciate little things. I don’t take simple things for granted, but this is a good reminder for us all.
Donna--i couldnt agree with you more!! Since the day i subbed to dan, i have been looking at everything in life completely different. Because of him, i have stopped to "smell the roses" and have even reconnected with people i lost touch with. I am forever grateful to him. I love your comment and wish you a good week.
You are still remembered and missed Dan. 3 years later I still feel the loss of someone that I never knew personally. Though your light is gone from this world, the memory of it remains. Sending you ❤ wherever you may be.
I just found this story and I have the overwhelming feeling of loss of someone I knew personally, it's very strange for me. I have been dealing with death since I was small child and i was once was without a pulse or heartbeat myself for close to 4 minutes.. I truly think that we are all connected in some way or another and these kinds of feelings some of us get sometimes only reinforce that belief for me
This is so sad. My son fought the cancer and Mayo tried everything and did all they could. He was given 2-3 months. He lived 6 weeks of detioration. Finally, he couldn't even swallow liquid morphine. Rest in peace Dan. Maybe you will meet Michael on the other side. Blessings to your family. I know their love lives on and they will miss you terribly.
Medical student here in Arizona- It is incredibly humbling to see your strength and resilience in spite of the worst of outcomes. Your battle and your story will forever impact my actions and the way I treat my patients. Rest assured, you have already made this world a better place. Thank you.
I am sure you will remember Dan when you deal with your patients. Be a Dr.Gore in comportment, and in the oath you will take. So proud to have the honor in particular you read your tribute.Namaste.
What can we say?nothing. Stay with your loved ones,don't cry,smile,breath fresh air in the woods,look at the sky and the clouds, laugh, sing, pet an animal. Enjoy the Real treasure of Life. We have to thank you for your example. You are really a good Man and you have a beautiful soul 💖
I feel like I’m watching a family member going through this you have made such an impact on my life in the short time you have been posting your videos it’s made me appreciate and enjoy life more thank you my friend I wish I could give you a great big hug
I suggest going back to his first video and watching them all chronologically. You'll find out why he's so incredibly loved. Daniel Thomas was an incredibly focused, strong, and giving human being and his journey was nothing short of amazing. God rest his precious soul. You're so missed, Dan, and you are free from pain and the cares of this world. Thank you for being you and sharing that with us.
I processed it in my mind now, because I was shocked at first. This man right here is a legend, so sad that todays medicine can't do nothing about it..
I remember watching this the day it was posted, and I cried. Was watching Daniel for a couple months daily really inspiring guy. He loved life and he was full of it. Love you man you’re awesome and After two years after your death I still think about you
Dear Dan.. My whole life i have felt meaningless, worthless, hopeless, depressed, constant anxiety, that nobody loved me, a failure, in everything i do, and everything i have done, i have silently followed you from day one, im not one to speak out, i just sit here in the dark quietly watching, feeling every ounce of your pain, and pleasure in the videos you do, good times/bad times. I have tried suicide several times, i have always wanted to die, but always to weak to do it properly, i couldnt even do that right.. but I want you to no, your whole experience has changed my complete perspective on life, you alone have saved my life, your vlogs have made me a stronger person, my 4yr old son now calls me superman. I feel i can do anything/fix anything... i only wish i had all the power in the world and could fix just 1 thing, i would repay you by saying thank you, and fix you.. you have turned me from the weakest person on the planet, to the 2nd strongest man i no... because you sir.. are number 1.. thank you in all you have done for many. Forever in my heart Dan.. this isnt the end bro.. your soul/legacy will live on forever. This is just the beginning.. Thank you my friend.. ✊❤
@Eric Harris dude what is your problem do you have nothing better to do with your meaningless exsistance although I can see your trying to get a rise out of people.
@Eric Harris What your story? Why thoses words? Are you going thought a hard time yourself? I getting the feeling that you are. Please respect and understand it takes alot for someone to share there story.
@Eric Harris What a shame that you so very obviously have such pathological emotional disturbance and gross lack of empathy and sensibility. Your comment is a testimony to how very much you need help. Hopefully, you'll have the maturity enough to remove your comments before you embarrass yourself any further. I pray your twisted soul will be healed.
I was depressively scrolling through my TH-cam chart filling out my boredom to distract myself from my problems. This kinda stuff makes me realize how little my problems are actually...
There is another Daniel who is going through something similar. I am heartbroken for him but at least he is still fighting. His name is Daniel DC Becker and he has a small youtube channel. He could use our support right now. In a way I wish I had never come across these channels, it's just brutal to watch this struggle. But how I admire them..
I followed Dan on TH-cam when he was fighting so hard to get better. I still watch his videos. Dan, you continue to have an impact on many people even though you are not with us. We will never forget you.
I am not young anymore. I never ever knew a human being stronger, more resilient than you, Dan. I never met you in person but anyway I knew you. You are my HERO, Dan
Dan: I’ve never commented on a video of yours. As a nurse (and most importantly a geriatric/palliative nurse).. make the most of your time. Don’t exhaust yourself especially fighting for more time. At this point it’s quality over quantity.
That was hard to watch, how can someone get such a bad case of cancer to where everything shuts down like that. it's so heartbreaking to see him suffer, i hope i have half as much strenght as you growing up. we wont forget you
My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in August 2021. He went through so much pain and so many treatments but he was slowly improving. Unfortunately that changed this August. An uncaught mass damaged his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down which resulted in an invasive surgery that took him off his cancer treatment. Within weeks the cancer spread everywhere in his body. I'm learning how to say goodbye to him in the next couple of weeks. He is only 55 years old and he did not have the best life, but hopefully he can now rest in peace. I am glad I remember Tom's story from years ago, it gives me strength to smile and give my dad a proper goodbye.
Jerry, we’ve all lost family members I’ve lost my mother and father to this. BUT, why are you talking about your situation on a video where a man less than half the age of you or my father has less than weeks to live? It’s narcissistic to the core sir and I pray you delete it.
@@scottfrost8956 You have no right to speak of character flaws. Look into the mirror before you critique others because your reflection is NOT pretty. What is wrong with you?
Keep LIVING Dan till you can't any longer!!! Keep doing, keep laughing, keep loving, keep breathing. Live the life you have still Dan. You are ALIVE!! ☺ I've had cancer 3 times & I know the fight. Lean on us too Dan. We are here...we love and support you. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. The wind in your hair. The outdoor air. Drink it all in Dan & remember it. All this love from your family, friends & your online family from around the world (us) surrounds you now and always Dan. The love goes with you. 💖
Many of us will fade into non existence, but you sir will never be forgotten for generations to come. Thank you for documenting your struggles, it’s just as important to see the difficult sides as it is the positive ones, you have done incredible work. So much love to you, you are an amazing human being. You will always be treasured Dan♥️♥️♥️
It broke my heart following this journey and then when he passed. But now my heart is breaking all over again because his videos are resurfacing on TH-cam all of a sudden and I don't know why but I'm rewatching them as they pop up and I could just cry. Anyone else??
@@SouthernScratcherGirl I don't know if you saw this, but I stumbled on this video. It's the one they played for his celebration of life. Grab a box of tissues! th-cam.com/video/X7h2gWaHyGA/w-d-xo.html
Stay strong. Don’t worry about videos for us unless it makes you happy. Spend whatever time you have with the ones you care and love the most. What you have done in documenting your struggles has been inspiring and helpful to others who are battling just like yourself. I’m so so sorry. I know what your family is going through, I am myself with my father who has terminal lung cancer, my only family on my side remaining. I won’t even try to imaging how you or my father feels, nobody ever can until it is them. Just know your friends and family love you and will remember you, along with your videos that will last forever and inspire people years from now to fight and help beat this thing. God speed.
1:34 what a strong guy, there is no way I would be able to keep myself together if I were him reading those words “life expectancy isn’t long”. Fly high dude!
It's sad as he looks completely normal to me in this video. He looks like an actor playing the part but unfortunately it's real. You have other worldly courage to share this heart breaking personal about your health. You are a real hero to be admired. Godspeed.
This just had to be one of the last recommended videos before I go to bed, now I have to browse for more information, who is running the channel, are there kids left. RIP my man, didnt know you, didnt watch you but nobody deserves to die from cancer.
Dan, you will never die in the hearts of the many thousands of people who have grown to love you through your videos. Yours is a brave journey, thank you for sharing it. Be with your family and cherish every moment. We will keep your spirit with us all over the world, you will not be forgotten. Love, light and peace.
@@brianking1921 Well if you don't die from anything else, you eventually die from cancer. That'll happen to all of us if we don't die in an accident, to an infection or to other age-related damages. Fortunately cancer research is well funded.
All you do is kill death instead by stealing its scythe and act like you're going to kill your brother with the scythe but instead stab death with the scythe
Yup, me too. The way I see it, is that he gave us the most precious and fleeting of things, Time. He had so little time and spent so much keeping us informed. While in pain and mental anguish. We should all be lucky to watch this ordinary man, get told he won’t grow old. 😢 much love Dan, no longer in pain.
It's like I'm looking at a completely different guy in this video! He doesn't look or sound like the healthier Dan. This is what cancer does to someone! What a tragedy! This is so darn sad. I got to know Dan through all his videos and believe it or not I just discovered him a few days ago. He has been my inspiration I mean why do I complain about my life?' Here is a guy who has the most advanced form of cancer and yet finds beauty in things that I overlook because I'm too busy complaining!! Thank you Dan for showing me how precious life really is and because of your story I promise to enjoy life more and to appreciate the little things because no one is promised tomorrow. Rest easy Dan Rest In Peace my man.
I’m not ashamed to say that I am sitting here crying. Over the past few months, you have become part of my life, my inspiration. Although you have no idea who i am, and that I’ve only known you for a few months, I feel like I am losing one of my closest and best friends. I, along with thousand of others of followers are devastated. Selfishly, I want you to continue to send us videos of you enjoying your time. But in reality I have to put my selfishness aside and recommend you make the most of your time with you family, your friends, and Becky. We love you more than you’ll ever know, but they need you more than ever right now. You are in my prayers today (and for the rest of my life).
Never in my life have I commented on a you tube video - this is my first - and it is you who have spurred me to do so. You are an amazing person, with such strength and dignity in the face of unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Your honesty is disarming, your pain is tangible, your humanity is raw. There are really no words that I can offer to provide any of the things I wish to - support, comfort, peace, love but I do want to thank you for the life lessons you have taught and for attempting to make this word a better place. Many people are thinking of you and surrounding you with loving thoughts and virtual hugs. I wish you strength and peace of mind as you face what is to come. Your Love for your family, friends and humanity at large, will never be lost. You have made a difference to this world. XXXXXX
My father had knee and back pain for about a year. He was a hard physical laborer his entire life, and just chalked it up to many years of very physical work. He started getting tired very easily, and started also having pain on his shoulder and neck. He had gone to many doctors. Bloodwork, xrays, you name it. They found nothing. Finally he went to a chiropractor for his back and neck pain, and during an adjustment, they broke one of his ribs. The chiropractor did an xray and saw an odd pattern in a vertebrae and suggested he go have a nuclear bone scan done. The result was that he had metastatic neoplasm of bone (bone cancer) in basically every bone in his body. Literally from skull to feet. He passed away about 6 weeks after the diagnosis. Very rapid decline once it took hold. Mere months from still working to cremation. You definitely have to take every day as if it were your last. Because even though the day of the diagnosis isnt your last, it may as well be.
You have NOTHING to be sorry for, Dan! You have fought this fight with every fiber of your being! I'm so sorry they could not give you more time. You DO what you want & feel up to doing. Even if you don't feel like posting videos, you will still be in our hearts & thoughts. Even long after you've been gone. Because you have touched everyone's life so deeply....you will never be forgotten. You certainly did teach us about strength & the incredible amount of courage you've had throughout! Much love to you, my friend!
Hey Linda, I know your comment is written with the best of intentions (and much of it is lovely), but please don't portray those who have cancer as being engaged in a 'fight'. In doing so, you contribute to a predominant narrative regarding cancer, in which the disease and the afflicted are 'fighting' it out. Inevitably, this means there are 'winners' and 'losers'. When somebody 'loses' their 'fight' with cancer, that implies that in their death, cancer has 'won' and they have 'lost'. I know that you'll agree with me that Dan isn't a loser. There are no winners and losers when it comes to cancer; nor is there a fight.
Christopher Griffin.... Let people grieve the way they need to. It's not appropriate to tell them how to think or what to say. Especially in these times. reported
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 It's the regurgitation of a predominant perception of cancer that is overlooked in its toxicity: that cancer is a monster that must be 'fought'; that it's a 'battle'. Battles have winners and losers. It portrays those who die of cancer as losers. Have you seen someone you love die of cancer? Are they a loser? No. So, living with cancer isn't a fight then. Do you not see that?
@@filthycade2399 I don't know if I would use a metaphor to describe the condition of someone who has cancer but, if I did, it would be one that doesn't present those who die of cancer as losers.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving We all love you so much Dan and it is with a heavy heavy heart that the day will come when we will no longer see your sweet adorable face...hoping beyond hope that you have won your battle. You have fought the good fight and I'm so grateful that I got to know you through your social networking. You will forever be in my thoughts as you have touched my heart and soul.
This popped up although I viewed it when he put it out. Just reminded of how strong and brave this man was considering what he was going through. I hope his family and close friends are coping well and living with the happiness that Dan would want them to.
I love you Dan. You bring so much joy into the world. You truly help me in ways I don't fully understand. I know without a doubt that I love you, your family, your girlfriend, and your support team. Thank you for sharing your journey with the ups and the downs. Your life is beautiful and I can honestly say I will never forget you. I look forward to seeing your face again and feeling your lovely spirit through the screen. You are beyond amazing.
You have expressed very well what I think everyone has been thinking, I'd only come across his videos a few months ago but I always look forward to what he has to say. I really wish the outcome could have been different but I think he will live on in all of us that follow him. Stay strong dan xoxo
I’m crying watching this mainly because I can see your in pain both from the results and from the cancer and I wish you can have some better news or even better days. The fact you upload daily and keep us informed daily amazes me but truly take some time off, spend it by the beach with your family doing what you love to do. I’m heartbroken completely especially since I started watching you months ago cause you gave me so much strength during the time my mom was diagnosed and she’s now better and the fact your not too just really breaks my heart. I’m from Toronto(Canada) and I’ve told my family back in Greece about you so you’ll be remembered around the world for your kindness, strength and determination. Much love
I just want to say what a beautiful and amazing spirit you are.... you have managed to unite 100k people from all corners of the earth who pour out their love for you daily.... you are a real soldier and I'm honoured to know about you.... wish I knew you in real life, I think we could have been amazing friends.... you have such a pure spirit. Just know you are loved and not alone on this. You can cry in your videos If you want to, I doubt that anyone would judge you. I don't even know you but I send you my love
You're unforgettable. Your words, laugh, optimism, spunk and overall personality will forever be in our heart & mind. You've never been bitter, even when you've had reason to be. You've never snapped at the negative critics in the comments; you're always forgiving. You're the light we all strive to be.
I am still holding your hand, all the time. Every day I am thinking about you and the fight your are fighting. Now lay back and enjoy the time with your loved once. I like you very much, even I don't know you at all. Sharing your search, your pain, your thoughts and disapointments is the greatest gift you could haven given us ever!!!!
Its insane that even when he was so sick, he still looks amazing and so cheerful and healthy and happy, looking at him you wouldnt even know he was sick. What a fighter, RIP Dan.
Dan, this is my first time responding but I've been watching your videos everyday sometimes re watching them. I Don't know you and I'm from Denver CO but I feel like I know you and am a friend. You have been amazing through this long hard journey. I'm just crying my eyes out. I honestly feel like this is happening to a member of my family. Please know God and he will make you well again upon your arrival. My thoughts are with YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, AND UTUBE FAMILY. ITS HARD TO DIGEST BUT PLEASE TRY AND BE AT PEACE. EASIER SAID THAN DONE. I hope when I go to heaven I will have the honour and pleasure of meeting you. God bless you!!
This guy is the bravest of the brave ..... in a past life he must have been a gladiator,...with the calm wisdom and serenity of a Saint.......... godbless his soul
We've never met. I've never commented. But I've followed, and admired, and heeded your advice - and spent time with my family, loved my loved ones. Taken those trips, bought that ice cream and done all those things that one day, I won't be able to do for a myriad of reasons. Thanks for the constant reminder to live in the moment, love hard - and that lesson will live with me for the rest of my days. I'm so sorry. Thank you for everything you've done, the story you've shared with us thousands of strangers. You have made a difference in this world.
Watching a 32 year old man facing the final days of his life on camera is heartbraking.

It will destroy the cancer (cancer=fungus)
Stormbringer2012
I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and 'believe' that you are just an idiot but even so you are an insensitive gobshite to post that.
Apologies Dan but much respect and love and sent.
Cancer can't destroy your heart. You are an amazing human being!
Such a perfect comment especially for us who can;t find the words!! Thank You!!
No joke it literally was destroying his heart.
Find myself checking in on Dan's videos all the time as a reminder how precious life is and how tiny most of our problems are.
ure right. Sometimes we forget what are the most important things in life and persue the stupid ones. How silly of us
The cancer may have beaten your body but it never beat your positivity. Your mindset is nothing short of amazing. The world has lost a lovely soul.
The spirit never dies..
@@candicegerman9793 Amen! He is still alive!
Exactly!!!!
We all have to go , one way or another !
And to think we all moan about little things in life, this guy is so brave
@ShiftCtrl85 no one realises what they got untill it's gone, I get what your saying I find it hard most days to see the point in being alive vut I bet you and I would feel differently about life if we knew we only had a few weeks of it left.
@ShiftCtrl85 You're a very negative fella. Happiness doesn't arrive in the mail, you've got to create your own.
Carl Myles yes he was very brave. Not mst people can talk about facing there immortality in camera.
@@marvinthiessen3454 So very true !! They should Google the story of Delaney Clements !! She was wise beyond her years !!!!!
ShiftCtrl85 You’ll be singing a different tune if life ever throws a terminal diagnosis at you. Your whole “woe is me” and “life sucks” attitude is extremely annoying. Let us all know what it’s like when you have some real problems. Because that’s when you’ll realize the little annoyances in your life were actually easy and life really was good.
You already won. You won at life. You are the strongest person I know, I've been following for so many months and I as a cancer patient who met you during my diagnosis.. let me tell you, so much of my strength comes from you. I will always, for the rest of my life, remember you. As I remember Emily almost every day. You won so many respect, your videos and your words will have meaning and serve as inspiration for so many people for so many years. I still don't want to believe this is the end, I want to believe there will be a miracle. I love you so much Dan, please know that you are sooooo loved. I'm crying as I write this. I love you dude, I really do. Thank you for everything, I thank the universe that I "met" you.
Still thinking of you in 2023 Dan! What a fight you so bravely fought! I miss you! Hope you’re at peace now .🌹💕🌟
Jesus loves you!❤💘🧡💖💛💚💗💙💜💞🤎🖤❣💟🤍❤🔥💜💙💚💛🧡💌
Are they speeding up the videos??
@@karensheaffer1033 huh?
RIP Dan your life mattered.... You made an impact and your story will never be forgotten
Dan, someday in not so far future, I'm gonna talk to my kids about a strong, determined, charismatic and extroverted guy who with his positive energy touched people from all over the world and became eternally in the heart of those who knew him (even by videos).
My kids will grow up learning from your videos to give value to the simple things in life Dan.
I am sure that at some point in history your legacy will become a Cancer Prevention Institute that affects you at this time and your story will not be in vain my dear. I and all of us will remember you forever!
And I hope you keep staying here with us for a long time!
You are already a winner!
All the best from Brasil
Forte abraço
A very nice tribute johnny
Johnny Wick lovely comment x
And ur kid will have no future cause we are fked up
Good job clap clap
@@MAGA2024. what you posted is horrible.
Nice words , my daughter has seen some of Dan's vlogs and she is in awe of him, all kids should see how this wonderfully strong and yet fragile man touched many people's hearts.
I’m just an ordinary mom in the US who has been following you since March. YOU have made me a better person - a better Mom, a better wife, a better sister, a better friend...a better person. YOU DID THAT. And you have done, and continue, to do amazing things for people all over the globe. I am more than inspired by your attitude, courage and spirit. You are always in my thoughts & prayers. You are a hero. In my eyes cancer isn’t winning here, even though the end is inevitably near. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. YOU WIN. And that, my dear Dan, is the damned fucking truth. Love you.
Donna Lieval what a beautiful message and one I feel many of us can relate to. Dan has single handedly improved thousands of people’s lives in a variety of ways, that is something truly special that the cancer can never take away.
Gavin Roberts for sure. It makes me never want to touch a cigar again and I was smoking a lot out of stress. Just makes me want to change my life in general. Lifestyle changes. And making sure I appreciate little things. I don’t take simple things for granted, but this is a good reminder for us all.
Donna--i couldnt agree with you more!! Since the day i subbed to dan, i have been looking at everything in life completely different. Because of him, i have stopped to "smell the roses" and have even reconnected with people i lost touch with. I am forever grateful to him. I love your comment and wish you a good week.
Well said.
Beautifully said. ❤️
You are still remembered and missed Dan. 3 years later I still feel the loss of someone that I never knew personally. Though your light is gone from this world, the memory of it remains. Sending you ❤ wherever you may be.
Me too, this was so unfair.
I just found this story and I have the overwhelming feeling of loss of someone I knew personally, it's very strange for me. I have been dealing with death since I was small child and i was once was without a pulse or heartbeat myself for close to 4 minutes.. I truly think that we are all connected in some way or another and these kinds of feelings some of us get sometimes only reinforce that belief for me
He's nowhere. He's now in videos, on the internet
@@olyacarell6434 You are probably right, but not definitely right.
@@TardyTardigrade I don't want to be right. But I probably, most likely, am
This is so sad. My son fought the cancer and Mayo tried everything and did all they could. He was given 2-3 months. He lived 6 weeks of detioration. Finally, he couldn't even swallow liquid morphine. Rest in peace Dan. Maybe you will meet Michael on the other side. Blessings to your family. I know their love lives on and they will miss you terribly.
Is Dan still living?
@@troyleekimble7557no he died
Why on earth would you swallow liquid morphine??

Oh yes. Shouldn't have happened to him, but that's life sadly.

Medical student here in Arizona- It is incredibly humbling to see your strength and resilience in spite of the worst of outcomes. Your battle and your story will forever impact my actions and the way I treat my patients. Rest assured, you have already made this world a better place. Thank you.
See One, Do One .... Love this ♥️
That is a lovely tribute x x

I am sure you will remember Dan when you deal with your patients. Be a Dr.Gore in comportment, and in the oath you will take. So proud to have the honor in particular you read your tribute.Namaste.
See one, Do one The world needs more docs like you...or the one you are on the path to becoming.
To everyone fighting this awful disease, my heart goes out to you. You are warriors. 😥

I literally have no idea who this man was, but to read these comments tells me he was incredibly loved.
He was. 😪
I suggest going back to his first video and watching them all chronologically. You'll find out why he's so incredibly loved. Daniel Thomas was an incredibly focused, strong, and giving human being and his journey was nothing short of amazing. God rest his precious soul. You're so missed, Dan, and you are free from pain and the cares of this world. Thank you for being you and sharing that with us.
@@ellejay2021 I'll check them out!

Whenever I feel overwhelmed by my everyday problems I always remember that them are NOTHING compared to this.
You are a legend! ❤ Legends will be remembered, this breaks my heart after watching this video...
there is no cure mate, they dont even have a name for what he has :(
I processed it in my mind now, because I was shocked at first. This man right here is a legend, so sad that todays medicine can't do nothing about it..
I know you're well intentioned, but please don't frame cancer as a fight. Because how does that present those who die of cancer?

I remember watching this the day it was posted, and I cried. Was watching Daniel for a couple months daily really inspiring guy. He loved life and he was full of it. Love you man you’re awesome and After two years after your death I still think about you
Amazing words💚
Dear Dan..
My whole life i have felt meaningless, worthless, hopeless, depressed, constant anxiety, that nobody loved me, a failure, in everything i do, and everything i have done, i have silently followed you from day one, im not one to speak out, i just sit here in the dark quietly watching, feeling every ounce of your pain, and pleasure in the videos you do, good times/bad times. I have tried suicide several times, i have always wanted to die, but always to weak to do it properly, i couldnt even do that right.. but I want you to no, your whole experience has changed my complete perspective on life, you alone have saved my life, your vlogs have made me a stronger person, my 4yr old son now calls me superman. I feel i can do anything/fix anything... i only wish i had all the power in the world and could fix just 1 thing, i would repay you by saying thank you, and fix you.. you have turned me from the weakest person on the planet, to the 2nd strongest man i no... because you sir.. are number 1.. thank you in all you have done for many. Forever in my heart Dan.. this isnt the end bro.. your soul/legacy will live on forever. This is just the beginning..
Thank you my friend.. ✊❤
@Eric Harris dude what is your problem do you have nothing better to do with your meaningless exsistance although I can see your trying to get a rise out of people.
@Eric Harris What your story? Why thoses words? Are you going thought a hard time yourself? I getting the feeling that you are. Please respect and understand it takes alot for someone to share there story.
@Eric Harris What a shame that you so very obviously have such pathological emotional disturbance and gross lack of empathy and sensibility. Your comment is a testimony to how very much you need help. Hopefully, you'll have the maturity enough to remove your comments before you embarrass yourself any further. I pray your twisted soul will be healed.
Yes to this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There is another Daniel who is going through something similar. I am heartbroken for him but at least he is still fighting. His name is Daniel DC Becker and he has a small youtube channel. He could use our support right now. In a way I wish I had never come across these channels, it's just brutal to watch this struggle. But how I admire them..
So sad
He never looked sick!!
Still today you have impact on strangers. Well done mate, from Australia. RIP
I followed Dan on TH-cam when he was fighting so hard to get better. I still watch his videos. Dan, you continue to have an impact on many people even though you are not with us. We will never forget you.

I am not young anymore. I never ever knew a human being stronger, more resilient than you, Dan. I never met you in person but anyway I knew you. You are my HERO, Dan
Dan: I’ve never commented on a video of yours. As a nurse (and most importantly a geriatric/palliative nurse).. make the most of your time. Don’t exhaust yourself especially fighting for more time. At this point it’s quality over quantity.

"Sorry I don't have better news" You have NOTHING to apologise for! It is 100% not your fault
My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in August 2021. He went through so much pain and so many treatments but he was slowly improving. Unfortunately that changed this August. An uncaught mass damaged his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down which resulted in an invasive surgery that took him off his cancer treatment. Within weeks the cancer spread everywhere in his body. I'm learning how to say goodbye to him in the next couple of weeks. He is only 55 years old and he did not have the best life, but hopefully he can now rest in peace. I am glad I remember Tom's story from years ago, it gives me strength to smile and give my dad a proper goodbye.
Jerry, we’ve all lost family members I’ve lost my mother and father to this. BUT, why are you talking about your situation on a video where a man less than half the age of you or my father has less than weeks to live? It’s narcissistic to the core sir and I pray you delete it.

Well if you don't die from anything else, you eventually die from cancer. That'll happen to all of us if we don't die in an accident, to an infection or to other age-related damages.
Fortunately cancer research is well funded.
All you do is kill death instead by stealing its scythe and act like you're going to kill your brother with the scythe but instead stab death with the scythe
Yup, me too. The way I see it, is that he gave us the most precious and fleeting of things, Time. He had so little time and spent so much keeping us informed. While in pain and mental anguish. We should all be lucky to watch this ordinary man, get told he won’t grow old. 😢 much love Dan, no longer in pain.
It's like I'm looking at a completely different guy in this video! He doesn't look or sound like the healthier Dan. This is what cancer does to someone! What a tragedy! This is so darn sad. I got to know Dan through all his videos and believe it or not I just discovered him a few days ago. He has been my inspiration I mean why do I complain about my life?' Here is a guy who has the most advanced form of cancer and yet finds beauty in things that I overlook because I'm too busy complaining!! Thank you Dan for showing me how precious life really is and because of your story I promise to enjoy life more and to appreciate the little things because no one is promised tomorrow. Rest easy Dan Rest In Peace my man.
I’m not ashamed to say that I am sitting here crying. Over the past few months, you have become part of my life, my inspiration. Although you have no idea who i am, and that I’ve only known you for a few months, I feel like I am losing one of my closest and best friends. I, along with thousand of others of followers are devastated. Selfishly, I want you to continue to send us videos of you enjoying your time. But in reality I have to put my selfishness aside and recommend you make the most of your time with you family, your friends, and Becky. We love you more than you’ll ever know, but they need you more than ever right now. You are in my prayers today (and for the rest of my life).
So well said Mike. Thank you.
Never in my life have I commented on a you tube video - this is my first - and it is you who have spurred me to do so. You are an amazing person, with such strength and dignity in the face of unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Your honesty is disarming, your pain is tangible, your humanity is raw. There are really no words that I can offer to provide any of the things I wish to - support, comfort, peace, love but I do want to thank you for the life lessons you have taught and for attempting to make this word a better place. Many people are thinking of you and surrounding you with loving thoughts and virtual hugs. I wish you strength and peace of mind as you face what is to come. Your Love for your family, friends and humanity at large, will never be lost. You have made a difference to this world. XXXXXX
If you write that well with such great thoughts, you sure need to comment more & become part of YT's community.
I absolutely love your comment. You perfectly articulated how I feel. ❤
My father had knee and back pain for about a year. He was a hard physical laborer his entire life, and just chalked it up to many years of very physical work. He started getting tired very easily, and started also having pain on his shoulder and neck. He had gone to many doctors. Bloodwork, xrays, you name it. They found nothing. Finally he went to a chiropractor for his back and neck pain, and during an adjustment, they broke one of his ribs. The chiropractor did an xray and saw an odd pattern in a vertebrae and suggested he go have a nuclear bone scan done. The result was that he had metastatic neoplasm of bone (bone cancer) in basically every bone in his body. Literally from skull to feet. He passed away about 6 weeks after the diagnosis. Very rapid decline once it took hold. Mere months from still working to cremation. You definitely have to take every day as if it were your last. Because even though the day of the diagnosis isnt your last, it may as well be.
@ohdeergod thanks for sharing
We love you Dan, you’ll never be forgotten. I always come back to revisit your channel.
You have NOTHING to be sorry for, Dan! You have fought this fight with every fiber of your being! I'm so sorry they could not give you more time. You DO what you want & feel up to doing. Even if you don't feel like posting videos, you will still be in our hearts & thoughts. Even long after you've been gone. Because you have touched everyone's life so deeply....you will never be forgotten. You certainly did teach us about strength & the incredible amount of courage you've had throughout! Much love to you, my friend!
Hey Linda, I know your comment is written with the best of intentions (and much of it is lovely), but please don't portray those who have cancer as being engaged in a 'fight'.
In doing so, you contribute to a predominant narrative regarding cancer, in which the disease and the afflicted are 'fighting' it out. Inevitably, this means there are 'winners' and 'losers'.
When somebody 'loses' their 'fight' with cancer, that implies that in their death, cancer has 'won' and they have 'lost'.
I know that you'll agree with me that Dan isn't a loser. There are no winners and losers when it comes to cancer; nor is there a fight.
Christopher Griffin.... Let people grieve the way they need to. It's not appropriate to tell them how to think or what to say. Especially in these times. reported
Christopher Griffin ok. So phrase ‘fighting a disease’ should be prohibited? What inoffensive synonym would u use?
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 It's the regurgitation of a predominant perception of cancer that is overlooked in its toxicity: that cancer is a monster that must be 'fought'; that it's a 'battle'. Battles have winners and losers. It portrays those who die of cancer as losers.
Have you seen someone you love die of cancer? Are they a loser? No. So, living with cancer isn't a fight then.
Do you not see that?
@@filthycade2399 I don't know if I would use a metaphor to describe the condition of someone who has cancer but, if I did, it would be one that doesn't present those who die of cancer as losers.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

We all love you so much Dan and it is with a heavy heavy heart that the day will come when we will no longer see your sweet adorable face...hoping beyond hope that you have won your battle. You have fought the good fight and I'm so grateful that I got to know you through your social networking. You will forever be in my thoughts as you have touched my heart and soul.
I subscribed. I hit the notice button. I don’t know what I’m expecting. Rest In Peace Dan, you won’t be forgotten.
This popped up although I viewed it when he put it out. Just reminded of how strong and brave this man was considering what he was going through. I hope his family and close friends are coping well and living with the happiness that Dan would want them to.
It's sad to see, the cancer here eated him and it's visible 😲
I love you Dan. You bring so much joy into the world. You truly help me in ways I don't fully understand. I know without a doubt that I love you, your family, your girlfriend, and your support team. Thank you for sharing your journey with the ups and the downs. Your life is beautiful and I can honestly say I will never forget you. I look forward to seeing your face again and feeling your lovely spirit through the screen. You are beyond amazing.
You have expressed very well what I think everyone has been thinking, I'd only come across his videos a few months ago but I always look forward to what he has to say. I really wish the outcome could have been different but I think he will live on in all of us that follow him. Stay strong dan xoxo
I’m crying watching this mainly because I can see your in pain both from the results and from the cancer and I wish you can have some better news or even better days. The fact you upload daily and keep us informed daily amazes me but truly take some time off, spend it by the beach with your family doing what you love to do. I’m heartbroken completely especially since I started watching you months ago cause you gave me so much strength during the time my mom was diagnosed and she’s now better and the fact your not too just really breaks my heart. I’m from Toronto(Canada) and I’ve told my family back in Greece about you so you’ll be remembered around the world for your kindness, strength and determination. Much love
I ended up here again, Daniel. This autumn it's been 4 years. Hard to believe. Good to know that you're not in pain anymore.
His bravery is breathtaking.
I just want to say what a beautiful and amazing spirit you are.... you have managed to unite 100k people from all corners of the earth who pour out their love for you daily.... you are a real soldier and I'm honoured to know about you.... wish I knew you in real life, I think we could have been amazing friends.... you have such a pure spirit. Just know you are loved and not alone on this. You can cry in your videos If you want to, I doubt that anyone would judge you. I don't even know you but I send you my love
You're unforgettable. Your words, laugh, optimism, spunk and overall personality will forever be in our heart & mind. You've never been bitter, even when you've had reason to be. You've never snapped at the negative critics in the comments; you're always forgiving. You're the light we all strive to be.

Still in our hearts 2024. What a legend Dan was. Would love to know how his family are doing. X
I am still holding your hand, all the time. Every day I am thinking about you and the fight your are fighting. Now lay back and enjoy the time with your loved once. I like you very much, even I don't know you at all. Sharing your search, your pain, your thoughts and disapointments is the greatest gift you could haven given us ever!!!!
I live in the middle of nowhere in northern Vermont, USA, and you are my hero!
I live in the Adirondacks too.
@Eric Harris I'll eat out your shithole

Me too.
TH-cam algorithm has gone all Terminally I'll of late!
Making me seriously look at myself .
Its insane that even when he was so sick, he still looks amazing and so cheerful and healthy and happy, looking at him you wouldnt even know he was sick. What a fighter, RIP Dan.
Agreed. A gorgeous man. I would never in a million years know he was so sick. Jesus has him in the palm of his hand.

Stay strong friend, I'm so sorry.
Dan, this is my first time responding but I've been watching your videos everyday sometimes re watching them. I Don't know you and I'm from Denver CO but I feel like I know you and am a friend. You have been amazing through this long hard journey. I'm just crying my eyes out. I honestly feel like this is happening to a member of my family. Please know God and he will make you well again upon your arrival. My thoughts are with YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, AND UTUBE FAMILY. ITS HARD TO DIGEST BUT PLEASE TRY AND BE AT PEACE. EASIER SAID THAN DONE. I hope when I go to heaven I will have the honour and pleasure of meeting you. God bless you!!
Whatching you now is like preparing me for any eventual problem of this kind so your videos still helps people understand the illness,RIP
This guy is the bravest of the brave ..... in a past life he must have been a gladiator,...with the calm wisdom and serenity of a Saint.......... godbless his soul
We've never met. I've never commented. But I've followed, and admired, and heeded your advice - and spent time with my family, loved my loved ones. Taken those trips, bought that ice cream and done all those things that one day, I won't be able to do for a myriad of reasons.
Thanks for the constant reminder to live in the moment, love hard - and that lesson will live with me for the rest of my days.
I'm so sorry. Thank you for everything you've done, the story you've shared with us thousands of strangers. You have made a difference in this world.
