Anyone who watches gaming reviews on Youtube will probably know who this is, he's a very good gaming journalist (though he can be insufferable), a few weeks ago he posted this video about how he discovered he had a tumour ect.

Today he revealed he does have full blown cancer :sad: I hope he gets better soon.

Fair play to him for making that video
Hope he recovers. Doctors are quite optimistic thankfully

Yeah, though I do worry about when he's in chemo, he's not going to be able to make videos too often, so he wont have as much money coming in, and Youtube isn't the sort of job that has sick pay, I hope Polaris (his network) give him the support he needs.

Not seen much of his stuff really. Hope he recovers.

Doesn't seem long ago since another gaming personality in Greg Miller had cancer.

I hope he will recover :love:

Well, I don't know if there is really a right way to tell people this, so I guess here goes. The CT did not come back negative. The cancer in the bowel is gone, but spots have appeared in my liver. They're not operable and there's no cure. Average life expectancy is 2-3 years, though there are outliers that live much longer. I'll be back on chemo in a few weeks, with the goal of pushing it back and keeping it there for as long as possible. I fully intend to be the outlier, the average is this way because most people that get this are old and not strong anymore. Who knows what they'll come up with in the next decade? I intend to beat it for as long as possible. Gonna need some time to process all of this. I don't really feel anything right now. Thanks.

Jesus.. he's only 31. That's harsh.

Poor thing! All my love goes out to him and anyone else fighting cancer today. He's too young. I hope he pulls through. <3

Unless there is so massive advances in the next few years, he wont :( must be horrible knowing that you only have such a short time left. I hope he does stuff that will make him happy before he passes. But I get the sentiment, I hope that he does somehow survive too.
