The regular updates on Issac’s health shared by Daniel Coleman, aka Danny Go!
The YouTuber’s child, Isaac Daniel Coleman, was born with a rare genetic disorder, Fanconi’s anemia. According to the Fanconi Cancer Foundation, the disease creates a high risk of bone marrow failure and cancer due to impairment in DNA. At the age of 11, the boy had already undergone kidney and bone marrow transplants, according to WCNC. In December, Daniel revealed that Isaac had been diagnosed with mouth cancer. While he revealed that they had expected this due to the disorder, the timing sent him aback because it was earlier than he had thought. A month later, the child had undergone an 8-hour cancer removal surgery, as the tests detected that it had spread extensively.
As a post-surgery update, Coleman voiced that Isaac had stage 3 cancer and was on the edge of stage 4. While visible cancer was removed, there was a high chance that it was present microscopically due to the intensity. Finally, in April, they shared adorable family pictures before the unfortunate demise post.
