I too have found Dan’s videos not too long ago. I’ve watched them all and fell in love with this mans determination to fight to live! How could I have missed this, this breaks my heart. Such a strong, positive and incredible man. He’s left a incredible legacy to us all. I just wish he could of survived this beast of a disease. What an amazing man his parents raised. I feel so sad he is no longer here. My heart ❤️ goes out to his parents, brother, family and his beautiful wife Becca. RIP DANIEL THOMAS you are no longer in pain and at peace!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a medical student it was extremely interesting seeing how the professor handled the conversation, the prognosis etc He definitely seems like an excellent doctor
I agree and he was incredibly highly regarded in the medical profession as one of the worlds top oncologists, but also as a very personable and approachable man too. Sadly he died just 7mths after Dan, after an allergic reaction to a yellow fever vaccine... But my friend who works at the Marsden said his work and legacy is being continued - both cancer research & treatment, but also how senior consultants communicate with patients too. RIP Dan and Professor Gore - who probably had no idea how much they taught us about life & death thru...
I agree. Some doctors I have encountered have a terrible bedside manner. They see being a doctor as just as job and have lost their ability to actually care and be kind. This doctor was amazing.
The doctor in this video, Martin Gore, worked at the Royal Marsden Hospital for over 30 years and was made its medical director in 2006. He died not long after this video, in January 2019 . RIP to both these great men.
You went fast Dan! Just 4 Weeks you had left but at this point you couldn't know. Death is hard to comprehend. At one moment you are here and in the next your are just memory. I am glad you don't have to suffer anymore and I hope this journey we call life has more meaning in the end, than we see now.
@@SistersScott I respectfully disagree. Dan knew the truth of his situation. Even this doctor here is shooting straight with him. That is something Dan appreciated, as he has said so. Dan knew well that his time was very short, in fact, here you see him stating more than once, that it's against all odds that he was still alive at that point! This doctor let's him know that the surgery to remove some of his worst tumors would only be a very temporary solution, as they would rapidly grow right back. Dan understood and says so, but also says that he was willingly to have the surgery in the hope was that it could buy him a few more months. Same as the purposed chemo treatment using the drug Taxol. Trying any and all last ditch efforts to buy a bit more time. Such Massive Respect and Admiration for Dan!!!! AMAZING example of the Best of Humanity!!
Gloria Mary Haywood he was very contradictory in his statements if you listen to him. Besides that, even after he was told cancer was everywhere the next week he still wanted Taxol which hastened his death when he was advised to seek hospice care to manage his pain.
@@SistersScott Yes. I hear what you are saying. What a terrible situation Dan was in. Regarding the Taxol, I feel it's kind of what Dan said about any and all remedies he was trying, from suggestions from his followers, to the different medical opinions. He was willing to try them all because as Dan put it..."He had Nothing to Lose at that point!" Had Dan Not done Taxol would he have lived any longer?...Who Knows?....My opinion is most probably not. His cancer was relentless ..and it had gained full steam thru-out his poor body. (I, myself, am one of the lucky survivors of stage 3 cancer. I underwent 12 rounds of Taxol. My body was able to tolerate it pretty well. But un-like Dan, the worst of my cancer treatment was behind me at that point....with no cancer being detected after 3 aggressive chemotherapy treatments, and then surgery. The Taxol was simply to try and finish wiping-out any microscopic particles that might be undetected.) How I WISH that Dan's cancer story could have had a Different ending.
Gloria Mary Haywood his doctors did it because he wanted it. He wanted it because he "was not ready to die" which was unfortunate because he had cancer in every part of his body while he was trying to buy time. He had not really accepted his fate which is why he was still trying to buy time. Had he gone to the hospice and stayed there when he was told to his quality of life in the final days would have been more bearable.
Nothing shocks me with you anymore. You was looking really poorly a week or so ago but now you have more color, put a bit of weight on and look much better. Hope the surgery can be done under ur arm to help you. Keep proving wrong, stay safe and be strong. ps. cool doc for letting us see that.
Oh God me too!!! But this makes me so happy I could cry! I believe in miracles! Dan was given to us to teach us all about perseverance and stubberness (😁) and for all of us to learn about something greater than ourselves!
I don't want to even imagine the pain his parents felt to hear a doctor tell their baby they have maybe 4 months to live, and there's nothing they can do to help him. Hugging my kids a little tighter tonight.
I find this video to kinda pull the curtains into how he really was dealing with this nightmare. He is putting up a brave fight but what hits me is the desperation. He is almost self diagnosing here encouraging the doc to surgically remove something done earlier. I get his logic, he says it, that removing it before bought him another 5 months, and he goes on about his diet improving himseld inside and that together he can progressively manage...But its the obvious look on the docs face that everyone can see theres no point in surgery. He is trying to say theres no use without saying it. Something a doctor in this department has mastered Im sure. People deal with this diagnosis in different ways and Dan wanted to live and would fight to do so until the end. Others may be more objective and accept their fate. I dont think theres a wrong or right way but its hard to watch a young man so desperate to live, its just heart breaking rewally.
Here you are doing anything, and everything to wake up another day... Here we are with healthy bodies, making excuses to why we can’t work out, or making excuses for why we don’t eat healthy... You really have taught me so much. You are amazing. You have changed EVERYTHING for us!!! You had a purpose in life, and you did it. You’ve spread your message, keep spreading it❣️
These are the exact words I've been looking for. We all have to appreciate life and live it to the fullest. No point in making excuses for anything unless we are going through the same type of stuff as Dan. I'm forever grateful that Dan taught us that.
In the early 80s I worked at the Marsden for 4 years as an Oncology Nurse, Martin was a Registrar at the time and he was lovely to patients and staff as with Dan a true loss
@@breezetix for as long as someone in the world still remembers him. I know I will. But logically, even youtube probably won't exist for our entire lives but he made an impact on people that won't simply disappear.
The Royal Marsden doctors/nurses seem so lovely! From watching yours and Emily’s vlogs, they have always seemed willing to do whatever it takes and are incredibly intelligent ❤️ Hang in there Dan! x
I think it was good news but I couldn't hear the doctor very well. Proving them all wrong! Seems as though you are in good hands in many ways - dr - family - gf- mates - community! Worldwide! Exceed your own forecast! Play Santa to Noah at Christmas. Live. Love. Laugh! Don't give in, don't give up. Amazing. You could make a nonbeliever, a believer. I'm imagining all the smiles right now, and not just cuz your Calvins!
Whaaaat??????? This is incredible news considering the awful circumstances! I really look forward to seeing your Santa hat. 😉 😂 Keep smilin Dan THE man. 😁
@@Brad_Pittstop Can you really blame him? It’s an individual case of how a person takes these type of horrific news. The human mind sometimes puts a lock on itself, and refuses to face the reality to protect the person’s mind. It’s a coping mechanism. No need to put him down. Even after his death, he’s having haters making nasty comments about him. Unbelievable.
@@207humanity I do understand him. I would be the same. But those are facts, they may sound harsh but reality is often not very pretty. I always loved the saying: 'There are no atheists in foxholes.' And I understand why. I am an atheist, but when facing my own mortality, I hope to be either delusional or drugged out of my mind. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful though, I liked Dan's character a lot.
Oh god, that's just awful. From what I'm reading, he was so respected. Little did we know when we first watched this video that Dan would be gone 4 weeks later and Professor Gore 4 months later. Truly haunting.
@@playlistaccount Professor Gore was not ill at this point. He got a vaccination against yellow fever and died very shortly after. It was a sudden death, so not terminal at this point in time.
This vid really struck me to the core..I cannot imagine how it must feel to ask how much time do I have left??? Your raw truth is so empowering..your strength is incredible..you seemed so humbled to hear your Drs response..the reality of what your dealing with was very clear in this vid and extremely brave of you to share.. If God were to grant me 1 wish...it would be to spare your life so you may go on to teach others and live a long life!...I pray you get the surgery and prove to us all you can survive This!! Sending you love and prayers from Canada..Btw your looking marvelous!!!! Xo
I worked for a surgeon for years and we had a lady he did surgery on with 4 stage pancreatic CA given tops a month ! Saw her a couple months later still going strong ! She stoped into our office like two years later with a thank u gift to us all and to say good bye bc she was moving to Fl with Cancer in recession ! We were amazed! She said screw CA I wasn't gunna let it get me. God has a plan ! Prayers to you ❤️
Sarah J.R. Yes she did do chemo! Stage four she had and went thru weeks of chemo! My surgeon said no chance but she said every time she had chemo she would meditate and pray and direct the chemo where to go :) She had an amazing attitude ❤️
Cognitive dissonance I find it interesting that you say God has a plan bearing in mind that the reason you have cancer is Gods plan also if you survive its Gods plan if you die slowly and painfully also Gods plan or not?. Its a crap shoot you get cancer sometimes treatable cancers kill and large advanced cancers don't. To think God is in this game is to not understand the game at all nor the nature of God.
When I see that doctors like this have passed...how much knowledge and expertise goes with them. As someone that’s been in the hospital as well as my gf the last two years a few times, health care and doctors are not what they used to be
That was nice of the Prof to let you film. I thought that was really positive at least you are being given some options Dan. The Professor and the Sister seemed really lovely. I hope they can do the surgery soon and relieve you of some of that pain. You really do look a lot better today and seem to have a renewed determination emanating from you!
The fact that you act the same during important consultations as you do in your vlogs is a testament to how genuine you are! You're such an amazingly honest person and I hope you know that whilst you continue to fight at this time of your life. This footage is educational and important for people to have access to. We're all thinking of you; please continue to surprise us all x
He's one of, if not THE most genuine person on TH-cam..... we recently lost the only other one that even came close.... that was the beautiful soul of Emily Hayward!
I watched this video before Dan's passing but came back to watch it again because I just read that Professor Gore passed away suddenly a few days ago. The first time I watched this video, I was struck by how kind he was to allow Dan to film their interaction and I can only imagine what a loss his death was for Royal Marsden Hospital and all who knew him.
Nevada G I don’t know if you followed her, but Emily Hayward I believe had the same doctor here as Dan. I am sure they def feel the loss of this brilliant man.
Oh this is the best news ever Dan!! You were at death's door a couple of weeks ago. Just praying against all hope you could even get your liver ever functioning again, you had days left...... Now the doctor says it COULD be 9 months!!! Keep kicking cancers butt Dan- you can do it and with every day.. every week that passes new treatments are coming out all the time!!
TheInternet Sucks may he knew and did not feel like saying the truth....it seems to me the doctor felt bad answering, like he was in difficulties. Very very sad and shocking to watch it now
The oncologist deep down internally knew that Dan didn't have much time left remaining. It's just he didn't have the heart to be direct with Dan either since Dan was gripped on having another five to twelve months to go. He just didn't want to gobble up his hopes....
Would be a sick fuck to not tell his patient. Would be simply doing it for his own preservation. Absolutely no value- infact in my opinion GREATLY detracts from their end of life.
You can hear how desperate he is to live, despite how brave and positive he has been in all of his videos to this point. This broke my heart to see. He wanted more time to spend with his loved ones. Right now, watching this for the first time in the midst of Covid19, it really drives home the point of how precious that time is. Much love to his family from the USA
@@nessparadis6948 Prof. Gore died suddenly due to organ failure. It was attributed to a yellow fever vaccination he had 8 days earlier which resulted in very rare health complications
I'm on the cancer journey... wot a blessing if all doctors could be this amazing. I'm not meaning to be critical. this Dr is amazing. God bless them both.
I am so touched by the doctor and the nurse. I wish that all of medical staff would treat a patient with such dignity, kind words and respect. I know that a lot of them are trying but still...Thank you Dan for filming this.
It makes me so sad to see the optimism in this video knowing how the few weeks after this will go but this is what made Dan special! He never gave up right to the end! We fought and fought hard and that was so inspiring to all of us who watched his journey! We miss you Dan! I'm glad all that cancer is finally gone now and wherever you are out there I hope you are at peace. I'll never forgot you and the moments you shared with the world!
I also have to say I feel sorry for the Professor. He knew Dan didn't have long left and Dan kept pressuring him into giving him some more time and a miracle. I think the Professor did a wonderful job. How do you tell someone they have no time left?
I know right, when Dan was talking about eating healthy and processing everything perfectly, you can tell the doctor knows that all that isn't going to make a blind bit of difference to his life expectancy, it's sad!!
Sparky12355 Not sure if u know but sadly even not just Dan passed 4 weeks after this video, but Prof Gore has also passed apparently from a yellow fever shot he was given, I’ve even Heard, but unsure that a lady called Emily Hayward has also died, not sure if she is the nurse in this video or a family member. Just so sad. All the people in less than 12 months of taking this have all passed away. I can only state that nobody can know what is coming. All I can say to all is rest in peace.

@Sam Moss Jesus isnt a fairytale. There is overwheming proof He lived. . The most God awful miserable and hateful people i ever met in my life were people like you. This isnt a channel of hate, loser. Go stick your head back in the sand.
First let me say, whoever hit the "thumbs down" on this, I'm hoping you did so b/c of the "cancer content" and not b/c u don't support our friend, Dan. In case anyone doesn't know, the "thumbs up" is for Dan and to support his channel. Sorry, I just had to clear that up. 😉. Dan is one hella fighter and has become family to over 100,000 TH-cam followers. That being said, Dan, hang in there, you are such an inspiration to everyone and we are all here for you. Keep proving those docs wrong. ❤️🙏
@@evilubuntu9001 , you're not dumb! I used to do the same thing, lol, but then someone let me Kno that even though I hate the actual cancer content, that I should still give a thumbs up b/c it helps their channel. No worries, have a great day friend.
7:17 in all my life that is the scariest question i wish i never have to ask a doctor. My heart was racing as I placed myself in his shoes and felt so helpless. It makes me rethink of life all over again, how busy i have been thinking id never die and not releasing that life is so precious.
At first your videos really scared and upset me, but I’ve grown to love you and you’re definitely my favourite TH-camr. I really believe you’re going to be immortalised because of these videos, and I’ll enjoy watching them for years to come! Stay safe and keep on filming, we enjoy hearing from you day to day!
Hi Dan, mum, dad and Becky. What an interesting oncology meeting and very informative. What a calm, nice oncologist you were dealing with. Can't get over, really, really mean it that you bravely ask how long you may have left to live! Can't say it enough times - one of the bravest people I have come across. The reason you have got this far is because of your positive desire to live and the mind is stronger than the body which you are proving. Glad that you are having another op. I know you were pushing for it in a nice way. You're doing everything 100% right by staying positive through your mindset and eating the right foods. One incredible, lovely, unselfish human being. That's got to be your legacy and also your legacy will be to help others in the same position as yourself for years and years to come. Said it before and will say it again. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Love n hugs and sending positive vibes of healing . xxx
You're news today is extremely encouraging!!! You have surpassed all odds. There is an ANGEL on your side. Don't give up and don't ask how long you have . Love you
I miss dan and Emily, it is so sad that the prof died not long after the pair of them! X RIP all of you! Bless everything you have given to others suffering this awful disease x
So sad to now learn today of professor gores unexpected death today from yellow fever vaccination. What a great bedside manner he had. They both seem to feel very comfortable with each other and share trust which is so important when going through serious illness. RIP both of you xx
Dan, I love the fact that you keep pushing and doing whatever you can do. My aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that went into her bones. That was 3 years ago! The doctors say it’s now contained. Before it was growing rapidly. She’s doing great! Just do what you can do. Live your life. All my Love to you. Don’t give up! Love from Seattle😊💕
I don't even know you and I care for you like a brother, not because you have cancer, but because you have such a strong heart. You're taking such a really shitty situation and turning it into smiles, laughter and positive vibes. I look up to you Daniel and I'm sure thousands of others do too, whether they have cancer or not. Stay strong, i'm sending positive vibes and love your way. Best, -Charley Pangus
Dan, I really feel honored that myself, along with many others, get this kind of insight into your world. You really are an amazing and strong person. You continue to show us all what true strength looks like. I hope if I am ever in your position I show even half the fortitude you do. Get well, dammit. F- cancer.
Dan I have so much negativity going on right now in my life and I keep coming back to your videos for strength and to remind me I can get through it. You did and will forever touch us all 💜 you
You seem like an intelligent person and it sounds like you have a very experienced Oncologist so i'm sure these two things combined will equal a very positive prognosis. Wishing you the best of luck from Derbyshire.
No one has an expiration date stamped on them. Keep defying the odds, Dan! Grab that one extra day, then the next, and the next. I agree with the Doctor and Surgeons about attempting to relieving hopefully, some of your pain, and also give you extra time. You just never know when something could be developed to help or to cure you. I still believe in miracles! Love you!
I’m amazed as well at how different you look in this video. I was honestly sad because I thought you’d leave in a week, or less. Do what you do, blow them all away, encourage the crap out of the medical field as well as all of us! Love and prayers to your family!!!! Proud of you and watching your diet. It really does help!
He had so much bravery just taking on these appointments. Every single one would be so scary knowing his outlook and what's he's going to hear. I followed him to the end and think of him often still.
I'm a therapist, I work with cancer patients. Dan, I see people defy the odds ALL THE TIME. Keep at it, keep raging against it. If it needs to be time to call it a done deal at some point, you'll know, but until then...fight it with every ounce.
Dan! Your positive energy is just overwhelming! I have worked in hospitals for 4 years now as a security guard. I have seen a LOT during that time. Some VERY sick people who are hugely inspiring. But you are just on a whole other level. You inspire me as well as hundreds of thousands of other people every day! We are all with you in this fight. Push those boundaries as far as they will possibly go and then find ways to push ever further in the fight against this disease! We are all running out of constructive things to say at this point but we are all blown away by how much you continue to beat the odds! We love you Dan, never forget!
It's all about prayers & faith, Dan I pray for you & I have faith in God. You are a testament to his Mercy & grace. He's keeping you around to educate. ♥️&✌️&🙏
I can’t imagine having to ask what you’re own life expectancy is - you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sending positive thoughts x
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE...REALLY!! 💜💜 You've proven that medicine isn't an exact science. I've learned that over the last 30 plus years...thats why they call it "Practicing Medicine". Lol. So you keep surprising the docs and proving them wrong!! If anyone can YOU CAN!! As always you, Becky and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Sending so much love and huge hugs! YOU GOT THIS! 🤗❤🤗❤
I believe you're going to turn out to be a MIRACLE...everyone is praying and sending their thoughts and support to you. Time to prove the world wrong and show that miracles can happen and absolutely EVERYTHING is possible. No one can tell you that you cannot recover from this...No one! Believe that you can beat this..Believe that this will eventually go away. You're extremely special...and I believe you will go down as a medical miracle.
Yeah, itll be interesting to see where your so called god is when he inevitabely passes away. Dont get me wrong, I love Dan and everything hes doing on the channel and its extremely sad that he will pass away, but Im sorry to say that he has said multiple times the cancer is terminal and it wont be cured, if the highest medical technology we have available cant cure him, then no amount of holding your hands together and talking to yourself is going to cure him either.
albi- The ones believing that this is going to magically go away is very sad. It seems no one is listening to the one living it. Even his top Doc today said months. Hes just trying to get more time.
I'm watching some of these videos again because I genuinely miss him. Watching this one just makes my jaw drop. The doctor tells him 4-9 months and he's so calm and dignified and he was always so full of hope. *Truly* an inspiration.
You know, the way you looked the other day.. I was kind of expecting the next update to be that you were gone. But today you look so much better. And your energy is just.. otherworldly. It's kinda "therapeutic" in a way to follow you because I lost my own brother to cancer. Keep going!
I cannot believe how fast he went downhill. Even from the point of 2 weeks ago to 1 week ago. From needing no oxygen to needing oxygen to death in 2 short weeks. I know he had fought many years prior to that but man it’s just so surreal to see this video. Absolutely heartbreaking
Your strength amazes me! with all, you have to face and the foregone conclusion the fact that you vlog and keep us all updated as often as you do is a testament to you. I hope you are able to have your surgery and get some relief for that pain. Stay strong! your an inspiration and won't be forgotten!!
Oncology is the sport of Quacks and Sadists. I wouldn't give 2 penny farthings for what an oncologist can quack. My poorly departed fajer had 3 state supplied dieticians and he was on that No#1 potionery of charlatans and carpetbaggers Ensure before old saint nick could give a Whip Crack of his tail. google "otto warburg spark people" for an article that will scientifically get you envolved in the real cure for cancer and real science not hoofery poofery tobacco nonsensical gibber jash
Wonderful wonderful wonderful Dan!!!! Praying this goes well for you!!! That’s just the positive news I needed today. I know you can do this!!! Prayers from Florida!
This is so scary, to think he barely lasted a month after this 🙁 my dad is young too, and has lung cancer (stage 4), he's tried immunotherapy for about 3.5 months and it hasn't worked, now he's just started chemotherapy and will also have radiotherapy to reduce a tumor pressing onto his ribs... I haven't dared ask how long he's got to live, but watching Dan's videos has made me feel so scared, and sad ☹ But at least it gives me true insight on what it's like. RIP 💖
So sorry to hear this. I hope your dad has plenty of time left. Cancer is pretty damn inconsistent a lot of the time, and many people far out live their estimated deaths
Hi Dan, I think you are hopefully sleeping well right now. I clicked on this as soon as I saw your IG story. Yes darling we are amazed you are still with us, no point in not being real about it. I really hope they can do the surgery if for no other reason than to debulk the tumors and bring you some pain relief. If they think chemo could help, I know you’ll try that too, I just worry about it weakening you or bringing back more sickness. You are such a warrior and I enjoyed seeing the Doctor and nurse express their surprise at how well you are doing despite how sick you are. As always I’m sending much love, respect and prayers for you dear Dan. Stay positive and please stay with us for as long as you can. I am not ready to say goodbye 😭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗 Danielle from CA, USA
Dan love a honest Doctor . My sisters doctor was honest but my sister was in denial until the end. You continue Dan to Live . Thank you for sharing this inmate moment in your life. Nice Calvin Kline's undies and NASA shirt.
This vlog popped up on my feed, today of all days, Christmas Day. I watched several others, and while it is all so very sad, thank you for an eye opening reason to be especially thankful. All the best to the family from Dallas, Texas. Merry Christmas.
Dan’s videos feel like a time capsule of sorts , capturing his energy and zest for life day by day. It’s crazy to think that as I watch this video in 2020, Dan and Dr. Gore have both passed away.
I have never commented. And I am not sure you will ever read this. But, I am a swede living in your lovely country and I am a big supporter, perhaps not in words, but in heart. Because it would be stupid to say anything else but.. you make me realise how incredibly rare life is, and what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it is! Which should be embraced. This is the first time I have genuinly cried. I don't think many in here can grasp or even comprehend what is going on in that room where you are surrounded by the people that loves you the most in this world, and that you love the most, and at the same time hearing the worst kind of news that no one in this world should ever have to hear, as well as (excuse the expression) having the balls to document it for the outside world. For me. And for the rest of the world. I do hope that you do get to do what you want to do with the people that you love the most, and I do wish the best to your family, girlfriend and friends in this difficult time. I wish there was more I could say, but I can't find any words about how I am feeling. Thank you, for everything that you are. All the best. Marcus.
@Marcus Sundman your comment gave me goosebumps and I'm with you i stay quiet but i have certainly shed some tears for this young man. I wish i had 1 ounce of his courage and strength, he is 1 of the strongest young men i know and he is a inspiration to me and many others! I pray for him every single day and i will never quit believing in miracles because he has been and is a miracle in my opinion. Alot of ppl would have given up but he is a fighter and he is determined to live his life to the fullest and do great things before the good Lord calls him home but i hope and pray that will be a very long time from now! God bless you Dan and God bless you all, sending hugs and good vibes from the east coast of North Carolina! 🤗✌💛🧡💜💚💙💖
Love how you keep fighting. I keep watching and hope that one day there might be a change for the better in your health. You teach me not to give up and value life around you. Thank you ❤️
Incredible thing you are doing with your blog... been using lots of it with my 6th form pupils has really helped them on a number of levels.. keep chugging god bless
This is somewhat encouraging in that they haven't given up. They are still working out all the things they can do to extend your life farther than thought possible. A small bright light of hope. Keep kicking ass! xoxox
What a warrior! I'm currently going through radiation and chemotherapy on the head and neck is the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. This is the third time I've had cancer in 10 years, but this treatment has by far been the most difficult and excruciating to deal with. Every time I'm feeling down or want to quit, I find one of these videos and I think to myself what this guy went through and what he would have gone through for a chance to live another day. Makes me feel ashamed of myself and like a coward. It also gives me inspiration. I just can't get over this guy's strength and the way he handles everything with such dignity and courage and class. You were truly one in a million
@@zombienun ty! Unfortunately I just found out I have two lymph nodes in my neck that r cancerous still. I'm having surgery next week to remove them. Just so tired of dealing with this crap. Every checkup and scan is bad news
Seems to be a theme that people appear to get better before they get worse. Like the body's final fight. Life sure works in mysterious ways. I admire Dan's positivity and hope in the face of this danger
Dan, you look and sound amazing! The shortness of breath has really subsided now. Dr Gore is lovely, you can tell that he genuinely cares about you ❤️ Keep fighting the good fight and prove the doctors wrong!
You are so brave. I've nothing but admiration for you and you inspire me to deal with my incurable cancer. Thank you for that and I wish you all the very best. Steve
I am so happy for you to still have the will to fight and keep hope...what a blessing to have found the medical team you have in your life. Such a blessing and keep fighting and proving therm wrong everyday....as a cancer fighter myself positivity and hope is what we have to rely on. Praise God to keep your will alive along with such a strong passion to stay informed and try anything and everything you are an amazing person. Love you as my brother or friend and will continue praying all the way from here in Arizona USA and love your shirt by the way. Big huge hugs and prayers xx 👍💋😘🙏

Yes!!! A super hero indeed.
Long live the King!
Holy Creep Sauce Hail Dan the Slayer 👌🏻😀❤️
But does he drink and know things? That is the question! What a fighter! This cat has 9 lives and thensome!
@@dawnworth9392 I have a shirt that confirms that I am the one who drinks and knows things. I think Dan is actually the God of tits and wine.
This man would have given anything for just another six months to live. Think about that today when we all complain about our problems.
Absolutely!
I only found Dan's channel a week ago, but have now watched most of his videos. What an incredibly inspiring and decent human being.
Literally found his channel last night, it's so heartbreaking. Such an inspiration.
I found it today and have been watching all of them
@@monzaboo2011 Its so sad but his personality shines through and his strength is phenomenal right to the end, bless him.
It really does pain your heart even though I only watched a few videos of his.
I too have found Dan’s videos not too long ago. I’ve watched them all and fell in love with this mans determination to fight to live! How could I have missed this, this breaks my heart. Such a strong, positive and incredible man. He’s left a incredible legacy to us all. I just wish he could of survived this beast of a disease. What an amazing man his parents raised. I feel so sad he is no longer here. My heart ❤️ goes out to his parents, brother, family and his beautiful wife Becca. RIP DANIEL THOMAS you are no longer in pain and at peace!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP Dan, you fought your ass off until the end. Massive respect for you and your family.
As a medical student it was extremely interesting seeing how the professor handled the conversation, the prognosis etc
He definitely seems like an excellent doctor
Hugo Hugo do you want to be an oncologist 🤔
I agree very professional and empathetic.
I thought the same thing. I’m a medical student as well as I was surprised by how personal he was with the patient.
I agree and he was incredibly highly regarded in the medical profession as one of the worlds top oncologists, but also as a very personable and approachable man too. Sadly he died just 7mths after Dan, after an allergic reaction to a yellow fever vaccine... But my friend who works at the Marsden said his work and legacy is being continued - both cancer research & treatment, but also how senior consultants communicate with patients too. RIP Dan and Professor Gore - who probably had no idea how much they taught us about life & death thru...
The dr was so amazing. So kind and such great bedside manner. ❤️
Susan Forman few & far between. He's blessed to have him on this horrible yet profound & beautiful journey.
I agree. Some doctors I have encountered have a terrible bedside manner. They see being a doctor as just as job and have lost their ability to actually care and be kind. This doctor was amazing.
The doctor in this video, Martin Gore, worked at the Royal Marsden Hospital for over 30 years and was made its medical director in 2006. He died not long after this video, in January 2019
. RIP to both these great men.
So sad for such an amazing man in Martin gore to die. It was from a yellow fever inoculation.
@Joseph Marzullo what does that mean ?
@@janewilliams4462 I believe his body had an adverse reaction to a yellow fever vaccine, which ended up killing him
@@janewilliams4462 he died due to a yellow fever vaccination.
"died after a one in 100,000 reaction to a yellow fever jab"
You went fast Dan! Just 4 Weeks you had left but at this point you couldn't know. Death is hard to comprehend. At one moment you are here and in the next your are just memory. I am glad you don't have to suffer anymore and I hope this journey we call life has more meaning in the end, than we see now.
Simon Wackerle his doctor knew but Dan didn't want the truth so they lied to him.
@@SistersScott I respectfully disagree. Dan knew the truth of his situation. Even this doctor here is shooting straight with him. That is something Dan appreciated, as he has said so. Dan knew well that his time was very short, in fact, here you see him stating more than once, that it's against all odds that he was still alive at that point! This doctor let's him know that the surgery to remove some of his worst tumors would only be a very temporary solution, as they would rapidly grow right back. Dan understood and says so, but also says that he was willingly to have the surgery in the hope was that it could buy him a few more months. Same as the purposed chemo treatment using the drug Taxol. Trying any and all last ditch efforts to buy a bit more time. Such Massive Respect and Admiration for Dan!!!! AMAZING example of the Best of Humanity!!
Gloria Mary Haywood he was very contradictory in his statements if you listen to him. Besides that, even after he was told cancer was everywhere the next week he still wanted Taxol which hastened his death when he was advised to seek hospice care to manage his pain.
@@SistersScott Yes. I hear what you are saying. What a terrible situation Dan was in. Regarding the Taxol, I feel it's kind of what Dan said about any and all remedies he was trying, from suggestions from his followers, to the different medical opinions. He was willing to try them all because as Dan put it..."He had Nothing to Lose at that point!" Had Dan Not done Taxol would he have lived any longer?...Who Knows?....My opinion is most probably not. His cancer was relentless ..and it had gained full steam thru-out his poor body.
(I, myself, am one of the lucky survivors of stage 3 cancer. I underwent 12 rounds of Taxol. My body was able to tolerate it pretty well. But un-like Dan, the worst of my cancer treatment was behind me at that point....with no cancer being detected after 3 aggressive chemotherapy treatments, and then surgery. The Taxol was simply to try and finish wiping-out any microscopic particles that might be undetected.)
How I WISH that Dan's cancer story could have had a Different ending.
Gloria Mary Haywood his doctors did it because he wanted it. He wanted it because he "was not ready to die" which was unfortunate because he had cancer in every part of his body while he was trying to buy time. He had not really accepted his fate which is why he was still trying to buy time. Had he gone to the hospice and stayed there when he was told to his quality of life in the final days would have been more bearable.
Nothing shocks me with you anymore. You was looking really poorly a week or so ago but now you have more color, put a bit of weight on and look much better. Hope the surgery can be done under ur arm to help you. Keep proving wrong, stay safe and be strong.
ps. cool doc for letting us see that.
Great news. Not moving forward, pushing. Hope eternal. 💝 xxxxxx
You are such an inspiration and so brave. Keep fighting Dan. You look so good. Sending strong prayers with love to our hero💙💙💙💙💙
So nice of the doctor to let you film but that's because everyone loves you.💙💙💙💙💙
gypsycatcha79 I hate being a downer but he had a blood transfusion and that has brought color back. Even a top doc said it's months. 😕
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 When he's come as close as he has to dying already? Months are nothing to sneeze at.
❤️❤️ checking your channel several times a day for updates. Keeping you in my prayers
Oh God me too!!! But this makes me so happy I could cry! I believe in miracles! Dan was given to us to teach us all about perseverance and stubberness (😁) and for all of us to learn about something greater than ourselves!
I turned on notifications just for this 😃
That's why there's a bell icon, you should get notice as soon as he post the video
Robin Sullivan i do. But I also check for his posts as well. It’s become a habit.
oovoo javer same here. It just really is heart wrenching 😔
I don't want to even imagine the pain his parents felt to hear a doctor tell their baby they have maybe 4 months to live, and there's nothing they can do to help him. Hugging my kids a little tighter tonight.
I find this video to kinda pull the curtains into how he really was dealing with this nightmare.
He is putting up a brave fight but what hits me is the desperation. He is almost self diagnosing here encouraging the doc to surgically remove something done earlier. I get his logic, he says it, that removing it before bought him another 5 months, and he goes on about his diet improving himseld inside and that together he can progressively manage...But its the obvious look on the docs face that everyone can see theres no point in surgery. He is trying to say theres no use without saying it. Something a doctor in this department has mastered Im sure.
People deal with this diagnosis in different ways and Dan wanted to live and would fight to do so until the end. Others may be more objective and accept their fate. I dont think theres a wrong or right way but its hard to watch a young man so desperate to live, its just heart breaking rewally.
Here you are doing anything, and everything to wake up another day... Here we are with healthy bodies, making excuses to why we can’t work out, or making excuses for why we don’t eat healthy...
You really have taught me so much. You are amazing. You have changed EVERYTHING for us!!!
You had a purpose in life, and you did it. You’ve spread your message, keep spreading it❣️
These are the exact words I've been looking for. We all have to appreciate life and live it to the fullest. No point in making excuses for anything unless we are going through the same type of stuff as Dan. I'm forever grateful that Dan taught us that.
Thank you your so right 🙏
Very true
Your oncologist seems a very kind and lovely person :)
You are dumb on so many levels.
maciej wrotek Oh look another internet health professional, are you a professional psychologist too?
Dead now
In the early 80s I worked at the Marsden for 4 years as an Oncology Nurse, Martin was a Registrar at the time and he was lovely to patients and staff as with Dan a true loss
@maciej wrotek I'm sorry but that's stupid.

Terrible news about Professor Gore's death today. Such a lovely man as well as a leader in his field.
That's sad. What happened?
The Royal Marsden doctors/nurses seem so lovely! From watching yours and Emily’s vlogs, they have always seemed willing to do whatever it takes and are incredibly intelligent ❤️
Hang in there Dan! x
Rachel they honestly are amazing, i had cancer and they treat you so well!
Rachel The staff is great but I could never work there. I would be crying all the time.
I think it was good news but I couldn't hear the doctor very well. Proving them all wrong! Seems as though you are in good hands in many ways - dr - family - gf- mates - community! Worldwide! Exceed your own forecast! Play Santa to Noah at Christmas. Live. Love. Laugh! Don't give in, don't give up. Amazing. You could make a nonbeliever, a believer. I'm imagining all the smiles right now, and not just cuz your Calvins!
They are Lovely Simply Lovely my dear and so are you
Rachel they really are. They saved my dads life twice. They are so amazing they don’t get enough credit
Whaaaat??????? This is incredible news considering the awful circumstances! I really look forward to seeing your Santa hat. 😉 😂 Keep smilin Dan THE man. 😁
My thoughts exactly, I was thinking we have a chance to see Daniel celebrate next Christmas 😊

To watch a man pleading for just an extra couple months of life is utterly heartbreaking 💔 bless him

So many years gone now ..and very good person he is..there are so many health problems in this world
A warrior. A fighter who never gives up. A hero. My hero, Dan Thomas.
@@Brad_Pittstop Can you really blame him? It’s an individual case of how a person takes these type of horrific news. The human mind sometimes puts a lock on itself, and refuses to face the reality to protect the person’s mind. It’s a coping mechanism. No need to put him down. Even after his death, he’s having haters making nasty comments about him. Unbelievable.
@@207humanity I do understand him. I would be the same. But those are facts, they may sound harsh but reality is often not very pretty. I always loved the saying: 'There are no atheists in foxholes.' And I understand why. I am an atheist, but when facing my own mortality, I hope to be either delusional or drugged out of my mind. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful though, I liked Dan's character a lot.
@@Brad_Pittstop He was well aware of the facts. Why should he not hope?
They told me heroes do not exist, but you are my superhero Dan💙💙💙
Professor Gore is now dead as well, My respect to those 2 beautiful souls.
Oh god, that's just awful. From what I'm reading, he was so respected.
Little did we know when we first watched this video that Dan would be gone 4 weeks later and Professor Gore 4 months later. Truly haunting.
@@Forever_Nostalgic Thats crazy. So in essence during this filmed chat they were both terminal and very close to death. Eery indeed
@@playlistaccount no. From what I understand Gore died due to a bad reaction to a yellow fever vaccine.
So it was quite sudden compared to Dan.
@@mikkel066h Your reply doesn’t make sense
@@playlistaccount Professor Gore was not ill at this point. He got a vaccination against yellow fever and died very shortly after. It was a sudden death, so not terminal at this point in time.
The professor was amazing. Such a gentle, genuine, caring man ❤️
Is this the same guy from Emily Hayward videos?
@@katarzynapracuch5050 yes it is
He also passed away
Sorry to hear the professor passed . What a amazing doctor. None of us know when it's our time to go. Love each day to the fullest
This vid really struck me to the core..I cannot imagine how it must feel to ask how much time do I have left???
Your raw truth is so empowering..your strength is incredible..you seemed so humbled to hear your Drs response..the reality of what your dealing with was very clear in this vid and extremely brave of you to share.. If God were to grant me 1 wish...it would be to spare your life so you may go on to teach others and live a long life!...I pray you get the surgery and prove to us all you can survive This!! Sending you love and prayers from Canada..Btw your looking marvelous!!!! Xo
Designer Digs yvonne I literally thought the same thing but you worded it perfectly.
Yes, this was the first footage that has made me cry.....well said though DDY xx
I worked for a surgeon for years and we had a lady he did surgery on with 4 stage pancreatic CA given tops a month ! Saw her a couple months later still going strong ! She stoped into our office like two years later with a thank u gift to us all and to say good bye bc she was moving to Fl with Cancer in recession ! We were amazed! She said screw CA I wasn't gunna let it get me. God has a plan ! Prayers to you ❤️
Cancer goes into remission. The economy goes into...*sigh* 🤨I really hope they didn't let you handle any sharp surgical instruments! 🤗
I know it was remission omg beautiful true story and a damn auto correct 😁 God! Lol We could go in a recession couldn't we ! Lol Prayers
Take Control Central Beauty Styling wow did she do chemo?
Sarah J.R. Yes she did do chemo! Stage four she had and went thru weeks of chemo! My surgeon said no chance but she said every time she had chemo she would meditate and pray and direct the chemo where to go :) She had an amazing attitude ❤️
Cognitive dissonance I find it interesting that you say God has a plan bearing in mind that the reason you have cancer is Gods plan also if you survive its Gods plan if you die slowly and painfully also Gods plan or not?. Its a crap shoot you get cancer sometimes treatable cancers kill and large advanced cancers don't. To think God is in this game is to not understand the game at all nor the nature of God.
RIP Dan and Professor Gore. Two amazing and incredible people 🙏
Professor Gore passed away?!
@@iicjguitar0416 Yeah. Shortly after this video.
@@iicjguitar0416 5 months before Dan Died.

@@nellybelly8r very sad
When I see that doctors like this have passed...how much knowledge and expertise goes with them. As someone that’s been in the hospital as well as my gf the last two years a few times, health care and doctors are not what they used to be
How sad
Omg ☹️🙏🏼
Resistência Nacional Emily Hayward too!
That was nice of the Prof to let you film. I thought that was really positive at least you are being given some options Dan. The Professor and the Sister seemed really lovely. I hope they can do the surgery soon and relieve you of some of that pain. You really do look a lot better today and seem to have a renewed determination emanating from you!
The fact that you act the same during important consultations as you do in your vlogs is a testament to how genuine you are! You're such an amazingly honest person and I hope you know that whilst you continue to fight at this time of your life. This footage is educational and important for people to have access to. We're all thinking of you; please continue to surprise us all x
He's one of, if not THE most genuine person on TH-cam..... we recently lost the only other one that even came close.... that was the beautiful soul of Emily Hayward!
@@heathermiller76 Yes I followed her too 😪
I watched this video before Dan's passing but came back to watch it again because I just read that Professor Gore passed away suddenly a few days ago. The first time I watched this video, I was struck by how kind he was to allow Dan to film their interaction and I can only imagine what a loss his death was for Royal Marsden Hospital and all who knew him.
Nevada G I don’t know if you followed her, but Emily Hayward I believe had the same doctor here as Dan. I am sure they def feel the loss of this brilliant man.
hard to belive both people in that room wouldn't live more than 6 months
That's a perfect example of understanding that we are ALL dying. And relatively soon. We need to think about this every day.
RIP Dan and RIP Prof Gore 😞😢
Oh this is the best news ever Dan!! You were at death's door a couple of weeks ago. Just praying against all hope you could even get your liver ever functioning again, you had days left...... Now the doctor says it COULD be 9 months!!! Keep kicking cancers butt Dan- you can do it and with every day.. every week that passes new treatments are coming out all the time!!
😭😭😭
Dan, that was a super positive vlog...fight, fight, fight Danno!!! I just know there is a miracle happening here!!!!!
Robert Kline 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 somehow someway!!!
I can't believe he only lived 4 weeks after this.. The doctor was talking about 4-9 months...
TheInternet Sucks may he knew and did not feel like saying the truth....it seems to me the doctor felt bad answering, like he was in difficulties. Very very sad and shocking to watch it now
The oncologist deep down internally knew that Dan didn't have much time left remaining. It's just he didn't have the heart to be direct with Dan either since Dan was gripped on having another five to twelve months to go. He just didn't want to gobble up his hopes....
Sadly the treatment for cancer usually kills before the cancer itself. R.I.P Dan miss you xxx
From his body language is clear he was lying and that he wanted to give some hope
Would be a sick fuck to not tell his patient. Would be simply doing it for his own preservation. Absolutely no value- infact in my opinion GREATLY detracts from their end of life.
You can hear how desperate he is to live, despite how brave and positive he has been in all of his videos to this point. This broke my heart to see. He wanted more time to spend with his loved ones.
Right now, watching this for the first time in the midst of Covid19, it really drives home the point of how precious that time is. Much love to his family from the USA
Such a mentally strong person to even be able to handle this so well, I'm amazed. Good luck dude!
Yes Dan. Keep proving them wrong! Totally and 100% rooting for you x
Sure Dan would die only a couple of weeks later, but the doctor, Prof. Gore would also die 3 months later... What a bizarre turn of events ...
What was the cause of Gore’s death?
@@nessparadis6948 Prof. Gore died suddenly due to organ failure. It was attributed to a yellow fever vaccination he had 8 days earlier which resulted in very rare health complications
@@Lauren-vt2co thats very strange rip
thats sooo bizzare... feels like something out of black mirror
I'm on the cancer journey... wot a blessing if all doctors could be this amazing.
I'm not meaning to be critical. this Dr is amazing. God bless them both.
Not all heroes wear cape
I am so touched by the doctor and the nurse. I wish that all of medical staff would treat a patient with such dignity, kind words and respect. I know that a lot of them are trying but still...Thank you Dan for filming this.
You are so strong! And what a lovely doctor :) xx
Hes a Delight
It makes me so sad to see the optimism in this video knowing how the few weeks after this will go but this is what made Dan special! He never gave up right to the end! We fought and fought hard and that was so inspiring to all of us who watched his journey! We miss you Dan! I'm glad all that cancer is finally gone now and wherever you are out there I hope you are at peace. I'll never forgot you and the moments you shared with the world!
This video makes me cry too,Dan was so full of life & spirit & died 30 days from making this video,Im still Crying to this Very Day
He's nowhere. He's been cremated and his ashes shattered. People who believe in an afterlife should be fucking committed
I also have to say I feel sorry for the Professor.
He knew Dan didn't have long left and Dan kept pressuring him into giving him some more time and a miracle.
I think the Professor did a wonderful job.
How do you tell someone they have no time left?
I know right, when Dan was talking about eating healthy and processing everything perfectly, you can tell the doctor knows that all that isn't going to make a blind bit of difference to his life expectancy, it's sad!!
Sparky12355 Not sure if u know but sadly even not just Dan passed 4 weeks after this video, but Prof Gore has also passed apparently from a yellow fever shot he was given, I’ve even Heard, but unsure that a lady called Emily Hayward has also died, not sure if she is the nurse in this video or a family member. Just so sad. All the people in less than 12 months of taking this have all passed away. I can only state that nobody can know what is coming. All I can say to all is rest in peace.

Hi Dan, mum, dad and Becky. What an interesting oncology meeting and very informative. What a calm, nice oncologist you were dealing with. Can't get over, really, really mean it that you bravely ask how long you may have left to live! Can't say it enough times - one of the bravest people I have come across. The reason you have got this far is because of your positive desire to live and the mind is stronger than the body which you are proving. Glad that you are having another op. I know you were pushing for it in a nice way. You're doing everything 100% right by staying positive through your mindset and eating the right foods. One incredible, lovely, unselfish human being. That's got to be your legacy and also your legacy will be to help others in the same position as yourself for years and years to come. Said it before and will say it again. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Love n hugs and sending positive vibes of healing . xxx
Words just can't say enough.....you humble me and inspire me xx
You're news today is extremely encouraging!!! You have surpassed all odds. There is an ANGEL on your side. Don't give up and don't ask how long you have .
Love you

The doctors say it’s now contained. Before it was growing rapidly. She’s doing great! Just do what you can do. Live your life. All my Love to you. Don’t give up! Love from Seattle😊💕
I don't even know you and I care for you like a brother, not because you have cancer, but because you have such a strong heart. You're taking such a really shitty situation and turning it into smiles, laughter and positive vibes. I look up to you Daniel and I'm sure thousands of others do too, whether they have cancer or not. Stay strong, i'm sending positive vibes and love your way.

It hurts to hear him say 4,6,9 months when in reality it's 3 and half short weeks. You were a fight boy.
Sucks that he’s dead I just found this channel and I’m still sad 😢
Dan, I really feel honored that myself, along with many others, get this kind of insight into your world. You really are an amazing and strong person. You continue to show us all what true strength looks like. I hope if I am ever in your position I show even half the fortitude you do. Get well, dammit. F- cancer.
Dan I have so much negativity going on right now in my life and I keep coming back to your videos for strength and to remind me I can get through it. You did and will forever touch us all 💜 you
You seem like an intelligent person and it sounds like you have a very experienced Oncologist so i'm sure these two things combined will equal a very positive prognosis. Wishing you the best of luck from Derbyshire.
No one has an expiration date stamped on them. Keep defying the odds, Dan! Grab that one extra day, then the next, and the next. I agree with the Doctor and Surgeons about attempting to relieving hopefully, some of your pain, and also give you extra time. You just never know when something could be developed to help or to cure you. I still believe in miracles! Love you!
I’m amazed as well at how different you look in this video. I was honestly sad because I thought you’d leave in a week, or less. Do what you do, blow them all away, encourage the crap out of the medical field as well as all of us! Love and prayers to your family!!!! Proud of you and watching your diet. It really does help!
He had so much bravery just taking on these appointments. Every single one would be so scary knowing his outlook and what's he's going to hear. I followed him to the end and think of him often still.
🎉🎉🎉 surprise is all please !!!! I’ll be praying for u every night and send good vibes ur way 🙏🏻🙌🏻 I want to witness the miracle 🙏🏻😘
I'm a therapist, I work with cancer patients. Dan, I see people defy the odds ALL THE TIME. Keep at it, keep raging against it. If it needs to be time to call it a done deal at some point, you'll know, but until then...fight it with every ounce.
Yes, I agree with this.
I could not have said it better....👍

Well said Jess Beauty Junkie! Keep fighting Dan! ❤️🕊🌺
What a beautiful comment!
Dan! Your positive energy is just overwhelming! I have worked in hospitals for 4 years now as a security guard. I have seen a LOT during that time. Some VERY sick people who are hugely inspiring. But you are just on a whole other level. You inspire me as well as hundreds of thousands of other people every day! We are all with you in this fight. Push those boundaries as far as they will possibly go and then find ways to push ever further in the fight against this disease! We are all running out of constructive things to say at this point but we are all blown away by how much you continue to beat the odds! We love you Dan, never forget!
It's all about prayers & faith, Dan I pray for you & I have faith in God. You are a testament to his Mercy & grace. He's keeping you around to educate. ♥️&✌️&🙏
I can’t imagine having to ask what you’re own life expectancy is - you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sending positive thoughts x
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE...REALLY!! 💜💜 You've proven that medicine isn't an exact science. I've learned that over the last 30 plus years...thats why they call it "Practicing Medicine". Lol. So you keep surprising the docs and proving them wrong!! If anyone can YOU CAN!! As always you, Becky and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Sending so much love and huge hugs! YOU GOT THIS! 🤗❤🤗❤
I believe you're going to turn out to be a MIRACLE...everyone is praying and sending their thoughts and support to you. Time to prove the world wrong and show that miracles can happen and absolutely EVERYTHING is possible. No one can tell you that you cannot recover from this...No one! Believe that you can beat this..Believe that this will eventually go away. You're extremely special...and I believe you will go down as a medical miracle.
Yeah, itll be interesting to see where your so called god is when he inevitabely passes away.
Dont get me wrong, I love Dan and everything hes doing on the channel and its extremely sad that he will pass away, but Im sorry to say that he has said multiple times the cancer is terminal and it wont be cured, if the highest medical technology we have available cant cure him, then no amount of holding your hands together and talking to yourself is going to cure him either.
Yes let's believe in the supernatural power of God.Amen
albi- The ones believing that this is going to magically go away is very sad. It seems no one is listening to the one living it. Even his top Doc today said months. Hes just trying to get more time.
I'm watching some of these videos again because I genuinely miss him.
Watching this one just makes my jaw drop. The doctor tells him 4-9 months and he's so calm and dignified and he was always so full of hope. *Truly* an inspiration.
While fighting for your own life so gallantly, you are changing others in a positive way. Much love from NJ
You know, the way you looked the other day.. I was kind of expecting the next update to be that you were gone. But today you look so much better. And your energy is just.. otherworldly. It's kinda "therapeutic" in a way to follow you because I lost my own brother to cancer.
Keep going!
so sorry for your loss ...
thank you.. =)
yea? and? What's your point?
maybe hes sold his soul and is now a husk pojessed by demons? it is possible his miraculous turn around is the result of sorcery
also sorry for your loss and look up "spark people otto warburg" my sister wrote the article
So many could learn from your positivity ❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟 your ACE xxx
I cannot believe how fast he went downhill. Even from the point of 2 weeks ago to 1 week ago. From needing no oxygen to needing oxygen to death in 2 short weeks. I know he had fought many years prior to that but man it’s just so surreal to see this video. Absolutely heartbreaking
The cell division is exponential so near the end the growth of the cellmass is the quickest
Your strength amazes me! with all, you have to face and the foregone conclusion the fact that you vlog and keep us all updated as often as you do is a testament to you. I hope you are able to have your surgery and get some relief for that pain. Stay strong! your an inspiration and won't be forgotten!!
Best line “you surprised me!”!!! Wishing you a wonderful pain free day xoxoxox
Tell the doctor we thank him for being a part of the vlog. It’s comforting to see first hand that you are in good hands. Love and hugs to you Dan.
Yes please do thank the doctor Dan
If i get cancer again i want some one whos had 19.6 hours of nutrition education spread over 4 years of medical school to treat me
Where I live we have cancer agencies where care multidisciplinary including oncology dietitian care.
Oncology is the sport of Quacks and Sadists. I wouldn't give 2 penny farthings for what an oncologist can quack. My poorly departed fajer had 3 state supplied dieticians and he was on that No#1 potionery of charlatans and carpetbaggers Ensure before old saint nick could give a Whip Crack of his tail. google "otto warburg spark people" for an article that will scientifically get you envolved in the real cure for cancer and real science not hoofery poofery tobacco nonsensical gibber jash
Unfortunately this doctor had a allergic reaction to a yellow fever jab and died
Wonderful wonderful wonderful Dan!!!! Praying this goes well for you!!! That’s just the positive news I needed today. I know you can do this!!! Prayers from Florida!
This is so scary, to think he barely lasted a month after this 🙁 my dad is young too, and has lung cancer (stage 4), he's tried immunotherapy for about 3.5 months and it hasn't worked, now he's just started chemotherapy and will also have radiotherapy to reduce a tumor pressing onto his ribs... I haven't dared ask how long he's got to live, but watching Dan's videos has made me feel so scared, and sad ☹ But at least it gives me true insight on what it's like. RIP 💖
So sorry to hear this. I hope your dad has plenty of time left. Cancer is pretty damn inconsistent a lot of the time, and many people far out live their estimated deaths
Hey, you should watch TotalBiscuit on H3H3 about cancer video. It's empowering, worked for me
Prayers for your dad ❤❤❤❤❤
How's he doing now...
Hi Dan, I think you are hopefully sleeping well right now. I clicked on this as soon as I saw your IG story. Yes darling we are amazed you are still with us, no point in not being real about it. I really hope they can do the surgery if for no other reason than to debulk the tumors and bring you some pain relief. If they think chemo could help, I know you’ll try that too, I just worry about it weakening you or bringing back more sickness. You are such a warrior and I enjoyed seeing the Doctor and nurse express their surprise at how well you are doing despite how sick you are. As always I’m sending much love, respect and prayers for you dear Dan. Stay positive and please stay with us for as long as you can. I am not ready to say goodbye 😭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗 Danielle from CA, USA
Dan love a honest Doctor . My sisters doctor was honest but my sister was in denial until the end. You continue Dan to Live . Thank you for sharing this inmate moment in your life. Nice Calvin Kline's undies and NASA shirt.
This vlog popped up on my feed, today of all days, Christmas Day.
I watched several others, and while it is all so very sad, thank you for an eye opening reason to be especially thankful.
All the best to the family from Dallas, Texas. Merry Christmas.
Dan’s videos feel like a time capsule of sorts , capturing his energy and zest for life day by day. It’s crazy to think that as I watch this video in 2020, Dan and Dr. Gore have both passed away.
You are a fighter and I love to see you make it worthwhile and continue fighting! Stay strong!
I have never commented. And I am not sure you will ever read this. But, I am a swede living in your lovely country and I am a big supporter, perhaps not in words, but in heart. Because it would be stupid to say anything else but.. you make me realise how incredibly rare life is, and what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it is! Which should be embraced.
This is the first time I have genuinly cried. I don't think many in here can grasp or even comprehend what is going on in that room where you are surrounded by the people that loves you the most in this world, and that you love the most, and at the same time hearing the worst kind of news that no one in this world should ever have to hear, as well as (excuse the expression) having the balls to document it for the outside world. For me. And for the rest of the world.
I do hope that you do get to do what you want to do with the people that you love the most, and I do wish the best to your family, girlfriend and friends in this difficult time.
I wish there was more I could say, but I can't find any words about how I am feeling.
Thank you, for everything that you are.
All the best. Marcus.
Vill inte sabba kvaliteten på din kommentar, men det du säger är sååå sant.
@Marcus Sundman your comment gave me goosebumps and I'm with you i stay quiet but i have certainly shed some tears for this young man. I wish i had 1 ounce of his courage and strength, he is 1 of the strongest young men i know and he is a inspiration to me and many others! I pray for him every single day and i will never quit believing in miracles because he has been and is a miracle in my opinion. Alot of ppl would have given up but he is a fighter and he is determined to live his life to the fullest and do great things before the good Lord calls him home but i hope and pray that will be a very long time from now! God bless you Dan and God bless you all, sending hugs and good vibes from the east coast of North Carolina! 🤗✌💛🧡💜💚💙💖
Heart-felt comment Marcus - thank you! Touched me just to read it.
PeeWee Toms doesn't care about Swedes
Det är så hemskt. :(
Love how you keep fighting. I keep watching and hope that one day there might be a change for the better in your health. You teach me not to give up and value life around you. Thank you ❤️
Incredible thing you are doing with your blog... been using lots of it with my 6th form pupils has really helped them on a number of levels.. keep chugging god bless
This is somewhat encouraging in that they haven't given up. They are still working out all the things they can do to extend your life farther than thought possible. A small bright light of hope. Keep kicking ass! xoxox
Kudos to Prof Gore and the Marsden for allowing you film. Much love and respect to you Dan for allowing us see this. Keep continuing to shock them!
What a warrior! I'm currently going through radiation and chemotherapy on the head and neck is the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. This is the third time I've had cancer in 10 years, but this treatment has by far been the most difficult and excruciating to deal with. Every time I'm feeling down or want to quit, I find one of these videos and I think to myself what this guy went through and what he would have gone through for a chance to live another day. Makes me feel ashamed of myself and like a coward. It also gives me inspiration. I just can't get over this guy's strength and the way he handles everything with such dignity and courage and class. You were truly one in a million
Yo, any updates on your situation?
Get well soon...KEEP FIGHTING
@@zombienun ty! Unfortunately I just found out I have two lymph nodes in my neck that r cancerous still. I'm having surgery next week to remove them. Just so tired of dealing with this crap. Every checkup and scan is bad news
Seems to be a theme that people appear to get better before they get worse. Like the body's final fight. Life sure works in mysterious ways. I admire Dan's positivity and hope in the face of this danger
Dan, you look and sound amazing! The shortness of breath has really subsided now. Dr Gore is lovely, you can tell that he genuinely cares about you ❤️ Keep fighting the good fight and prove the doctors wrong!
Please continue to shock us all Dan we luv you!
You are so brave. I've nothing but admiration for you and you inspire me to deal with my incurable cancer. Thank you for that and I wish you all the very best. Steve
I am so happy for you to still have the will to fight and keep hope...what a blessing to have found the medical team you have in your life. Such a blessing and keep fighting and proving therm wrong everyday....as a cancer fighter myself positivity and hope is what we have to rely on. Praise God to keep your will alive along with such a strong passion to stay informed and try anything and everything you are an amazing person. Love you as my brother or friend and will continue praying all the way from here in Arizona USA and love your shirt by the way. Big huge hugs and prayers xx 👍💋😘🙏
