He'll come through, he's young still. I work in an oncology building and I see thousands of old men and women with colon cancer come through smiling.
He just needs a positive outlook on it, and the will to live.
Glad it's not too advanced, didn't always agree with his reviews but he plays an important part in the gaming community.
I don't really like TB, but that sucks.
Hope he gets better.
Yet another youtuber I love gets cancer
Fuck :c

No one doubts he will live for now but like most cancers, colon one can return even after therapy and take him by surprise and require more therapy. And it probably gets worse with age.
He could also temporarily move back to britain and get treated by the NHS. Like stay with relatives for a few months until he gets treated.

Much as I like the NHS being there, he could probably go down the private healthcare route and get treated faster considering the money he's made from his career.
I really hope he kicks cancers ass.

Considering our current government's stance on 'health tourism', I'm not sure he'd be let in. Maybe it's different for natives, but I've seen articles where they're getting pissed about people coming into the country just to get treated, even people who move there permanently.

You do realiose TB is a natural british citizen, right? So not exactly a health tourist.

The NHS is a residence-based healthcare system, not citizenship-based. But I think he would still qualify for free healthcare under this exemption:
[quote]Former UK residents of 10 continuous years or more who are now working abroad (including self employed people) for not more than five years[/quote]
He's only been outside the UK for two years and I assume he lived there all his life before that.

For real, that's not a troll comment, I am authentically happy when something bad happens to somebody I don't like.

Ho-ly shit.
You're basically going "THIS MAN DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I DO AND OPENLY STATED IT AS SUCH AND BECAUSE OF THAT I'M GLAD HE HAS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY CANCER. YAY."
You got some issues and I think you need some counseling.
No, that's not a troll comment either. Go get a psychiatrist. I'm genuinely worried.
Best just to no longer acknowledge him. He got his just desserts so that's said and done.
It warms my heart how well TB is taking this thing. Telling people to donate to charities instead of his own funds. Love him or hate him, that's truly selfless.
Something I learned. Cancer is caused by 95% outside source with only 5% being genetics. Makes you wonder if something we take for granted could be killing us slowly.

Yeah but behavior is also sometimes passed down

Source on 95%?
Also, does that include all cancers, because some cancers are clearly caused by environmental factors (ie smoking and lung cancer)

TotalBiscuit seems like one of the most legitimate reviewers on YouTube I can trust. His stuff isn't insanely random, sticks to the topic, and doesn't screw around.

Not a reviewer. His videos are first impression, no "10/10" scores because he hates it and thinks it's a dumb system.
I hope he survives.

To be honest, when it comes to cancer diagnosis, the NHS is pretty fast as far as I'm aware. Might be possible to get it slightly faster with private, but many of the delays for more minor things are because of pathways to get more serious and time critical conditions (like suspected cancers, which could be rapidly spreading, or could be much slower) seen asap. Sure it's not "stroke call, get the CT ready" fast, but it's pretty good.
Snip. It had been posted 5 hours ago on his subreddit, thought it was new.
What were his symptoms again?
[QUOTE=Recurracy;44904877]What were his symptoms again?[/QUOTE]
He shat blood for about a year.
[QUOTE=Recurracy;44904877]What were his symptoms again?[/QUOTE]
-crapping more than he used to
-"seems a bit 'loose'"
-blood and mucus in his crap
+ family history of bowel cancer

Hence 'Maybe it's different for natives'.

I have the symptom where my family has a history of dying as well.
My family also has a history of dying.
Shit we must be related.
