Daniel's Story | Sarcomatoid Carcinoma | Stand Up To Cancer | 2019

On 23 February 2018 Daniel went into hospital for an operation after finding another lump in his chest. But by April, they realised it was inoperable and that the surgery didn't work.
Over the following months, Daniel’s condition deteriorated quickly. In September 2018, just two weeks after marrying his long-term girlfriend, Becca, he sadly passed away.
“We made so many memories in the short time we had together, I just wish things were different, it's not fair.”
Daniel recorded his journey with cancer, blogging about what he had experienced, on his own YouTube channel: / @peeweetoms

This man inspired me to get out of my depressed,lazy and worthless way of life and make the most of now because you never know what tomorrow may bring, may you rest in eternal peace

His moms sobbing just breaks my heart. Love to her and their family. ♥️♥️. I miss his vlogs so much.
-
I followed him for 6 months prior to his death. I never rooted for anyone as much in my life. R.I.P, Dan. That horrible disease might have taken your life, but your story continues to inspire people all over the world. Cancer can never take that from you or us.

Hearing his mother sobbing in the car really broke my heart. The entire video is sad but that moment really got me.
-
when he lifted his arm and showed the tumors bulging out of his body - that really staggered me. this beautiful human being riddled with those terrible things ugh i'm just absolutely floored and i wish i could undo this. i can't believe this happened to him and the wonderful people in his life.
-
I watched his whole journey. I cried when he died. Rip dan

This world is extremely unfair and very cruel. Nobody should have to endure this. RIP
-
Dan was a force to be reckoned with - as was Emily Hayward. I watched them both as thousands of others did on their channels....and still the most upsetting moment was Dan's Mom crying in the car. I cried with her. <3 Can't imagine having to hear this from a doctor that my baby was going to die before me :(

Man I am so upset after watching this. Brave man. Cancer sucks.

You know the really sad thing is that this wasn’t a movie, he wasn’t an actor, dude, he was a real person who died and he was also a man who seemed like a great person. I wish he was able to do everything he wanted and didn’t have to suffer through all the things he did. Fly high brother ❤️✌️

This world spins so fast we forget what a gift life really is. Gotta slow down and appreciate being healthy and alive once in awhile, even if that's all we have.

Cancer is the monster that every human fears. My heart goes out to all those whose lives have been touched by this horrific disease. ❤️🌹

I feel ashamed of myself for moaning about my life. I have just been taught a big lesson at 55 years of age. What an inspiration this man was. I will think of him every time I feel I want more or hard done by.

This has just popped up and l felt so sorry for him what a brave man he was, my sister was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and died within 7 weeks. Cancer is a evil killer of all let's hope cures can be found. God bless every one who has lost a love one to this disease my heart is with u🌹

How the FUCK do you bring yourself together to a point of strength like this bloke to record your own death. Absolute gem of a man. Bless you sir and RIP x

God his mother's crying killed me. That must be a terrible situation to be in. This is such a brave man to tape his journey to death. I am very sorry for his family. His mother and father, I wish I could you both and to his beautiful Bride. You were so beautiful and brave facing this with him.

I started my Stage IV Cancer YouTube journal a week or 2 ago. My heart & prayers go out to everyone dealing with this Disease. Dr. explained my Scans/Images & said the average Life expectancy is 5yrs and it just occurred to me that I've already had it for at least 2, but closer to 3 or 4. I informed her that I'm leaving IL & heading to TX & Mexico to get Healed, bur she shook her head "no" and said this doesn't work that way, it doesn't go away, but I plan and fully intend on beating this & proving her WRONG because Miracles HAPPEN! 🤞😔🤞🥵🤞
