Stefán Karl Stefánsson, Robbie Rotten, has announced the cancer has spread and is closing GoFundMe - Sensationalist Headlines

[url=https://www.gofundme.com/2tm9tqk]Posted via his GoFundMe[/url] [quote] From Stefan: "Dear friends, As some of you know, my recent medical scan tells us that the cancer has spread. This is difficult, though not unexpected news. My family and I will be discussing next steps with our excellent medical team. I wanted to share this news with those of you who have taken this journey with me. I'm so grateful for your affection and help -- your words of encouragement have meant the world to me. They helped lift my spirits during dark days. Now it's time for another chapter. I will be spending the remainder of my time with family and friends, working on a few projects that are dear to my heart, and mostly appreciating the beauty that life gives to us all. We will be closing this GoFundMe page shortly and, again, I want to thank all of you who gave so generously to help me and my family. Love to you all from Robbie Rotten, the Grinch, and most of all, from Stefan."[/quote]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-

Fuck cancer.

Its at least positive that he can move on happy, successful, and with family I'm not too sad because he wont suffer so long as he has them with him

Literal shot to the heart god damn.

well fuck

[QUOTE=Reagy;53155106]Literal shot to the heart god damn.[/QUOTE] He was doomed the moment he got pancreatic cancer, That shit is a literal life destroying demon Its horrorifying.

no...

Well fuck. Can we dump the money into human head transplants instead now?

I really wonder why this is making me more sad than I should be. I think it's because deep down I was optimistic that this'd end well. Like I was seriously rooting for a possibility of a happy ending. But cancer does what cancer does and here we are. Yet I'm somehow still cliging on that totaly irational optimism. God I wish him well...

We love you Stefan. Never give up.

I'm not surprised....but, I still was holding on hard that he could have conquered it. life sucks, man.

at least he's been able to feel the love and support of millions of people across the world before he dies, doesn't often happen to most.

Sad but not surprised. Cancer fucking sucks, and Pancreatic cancer's survival rate clocks in at about "you're fucked". I understand why he'd do this. When you're stuck with virtually certainly terminal illness, you end up weighing risk/reward of either fighting until your last breath for an nigh-invisibly tiny sliver of a chance you'll make it, or just accepting that the end is coming and enjoying what little time you have left. You can say he's giving up, and in a way you're right, but the alternative would be giving up his peace of mind for a future he has virtually no chance of seeing. I really just hope that everyone will accept Stefan's decision and give him his space.

Excuse me while I cry in the corner.... :cry:

We can use memes to cure his cancer, right guys? Right? :cry:

Stefánsson's cancer should be copyright claimed by Verizon, so he can be freed from it. …His cancer belongs to me.

Even after all these times of him removing it it still manages to come back. Really sad to see Stefan keep going through this. I do wish him the best of luck spending time with his family. Fuck Cancer.

I dislike cancer strongly

If you take anything from this other than Stefan being an amazing human being, it is do not forget nor forgive. Get checked, take signs seriously and fix your shit. Watch what you eat and how much. Get screened early and get screened as often as you can, up to and including genetic screening. If you smoke, fucking quit that shit. Do not take the time you have allotted for granted. A third to half of the people you know [I]on this site[/I] will have or had cancer by the end of their lives, and no one's getting younger. Be proactive, for yourself and for those you care about. He gave you one gift already, it won't hurt to get one more, and this time keep it.

Every time Stefan appears on Sensationalist headlines its either really good or really bad why couldn't it be really good

I used to not give a fuck, but then i got invested in life. Fuck!

Stefan, noooo. Goddammit, fuck cancer.

I think its worse because we know its gonna happen eventually and there's jack shit we can do to stop it.

I had testicular cancer at 23. A lot of people think it's something older guys get, but that's obviously not true and it's not something I thought I'd ever deal with so soon in my life. I knew something was off when I noticed a weird lump and got checked [I]immediately[/I]. It's serious shit, my doctor got me in for an ultrasound and to see a specialist the NEXT DAY when I went to see him about it. There's a real sense of urgency when it's even just a possibility of cancer. Because of that I was able to have the surgery get it removed, and luck out because I caught it early enough for nothing to spread so there was no need for any chemo, radiation, anything like that. I feel the majority of people on this site are male, so just take it to heart. Check you balls. It's not hard, it's not weird, it's not something to joke around about. When I noticed the bump I had, it was by [I]accident[/I] because of how subtle it was, so just take 30 seconds when you're in the shower or something and just check yourself. Notice something weird, get it checked out. Don't be embarrassed, don't be afraid, it's better to be safe than sorry, and the earlier you catch it - testicular cancer especially - the better the outcome.

Can't even begin to fathom what it'd feel like knowing that you'll go soon

Seriously upsetting, its a good thing to know that when he passes he managed to put a smile on everyone's face, and even managed to turn a meme into a popular outlet for research and cancer treatment. What a trooper

[QUOTE=Plaster;53159468]It's nice and all to know to get checked early and as often as possible, but I for example don't know what to look for before going to the doctor.[/QUOTE] In the case of things like tits, dicks and bumholes it's mostly a case of "does anything feel like it shouldn't be there". Weird lumps that don't follow the contours of whatever you're checking or odd lumps that don't make sense to be where they are. It gets a bit more complex for internal cancers that you can't prod at, but things like skin cancer have a number of identifiers as well thankfully. Even if you think it's nothing, if you notice something off it's worth trying to get it looked at. Early detection is key, and after a small testicular cancer scare myself the doctors were quite quick to diagnose it as nothing out of the ordinary which put my mind at ease significantly. It's a 5 minute check up for most of these things after all.
