Daniel, a British YouTuber better known as PeeWeeToms, announced on the platform that he now suffers from terminal cancer. His video quickly went viral on the Web.
“The life expectancy is not very long any more. At all”. In a moving video Daniel, a British YouTuber better known as PeeWeeToms, announced that he now suffers from terminal cancer. Despite several operations, “the disease is now all over my body. I try to take advantage of the little life I have left and have a good time with my loved ones”, testifies the young man of 32 years.
In 2015, doctors diagnosed him with carcinosarcoma. This cancerous tumor (malignant) rare is made up of a mixture of carcinoma (cancer that starts in the skin or the tissues that line or cover organs) and sarcoma (cancer that starts in the connective tissues that surround and support various organs).
Very supported by his fans since the beginning of his illness, Daniel has received many messages of support, including that of the Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev. The latter had sent him a video message while he was in the International Space Station (ISS). “I don’t know how it happened but it’s incredible. I want to thank the person who made it possible”, confided the young man, very touched.
True traumatic shock
“The subject is that of anxiety: what happens, from a psychological point of view, when the announcement of a diagnosis of serious illness propels you into a situation which consists in living for a moment as being the beginning of the process of his own death, since this is really where the beginning of the end begins? To live such a moment cannot be considered as a banal event: it will trigger a true traumatic shock “, explains in Slate.fr Hélène Brocq, who worked for ten years in palliative medicine at the University Hospital of Nice and in 2005 joined the Reference Center for Neuromuscular Diseases and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
In adolescents and young adults (15-44 years old) the most frequently diagnosed cancers are tumors of the genital organs (testis, cervix, etc.), hematological cancers and melanoma (skin cancer). Scientists estimate that by 2030 there will be around 26.4 million new cases of cancer and 17 million deaths from the disease worldwide per year.
