John "TB" Bain says cancer is reappearing

Michael McAllister

Very sad news.

Couldn't they try a liver transplant? I really hope he survives.

they wouldn't have said "inoperable" if they could I'm afraid

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please聽馃え

It's metastasized (not localized) liver cancer and probably in many other areas. He is, most likely, going to die.

Yeah this is the case sadly.

The cancer can travel anywhere.

The prognostic is really bleak , the only question is how long is he gonna survive before he dies .

As others have said, unfortunately, the cancer cells live other places than the kidney. A transplant would be no use. Even if a transplant was done, it is possible that the body would not accept the kidney providing an even higher chance of fatality.聽

I think we can only hope and pray for the best for him. For anyone, with cancer or a life-threatening disease, we should hope for the best for them. It is very unfortunate that these diseases infect and take people's lives. It would be great if a cure could be made, but that just doesn't seem like the case yet.

Now if only I jinxed it and a cure arrived tomorrow.

So is he going to die?

He probably had a shitty diet and maybe some bad genetics

Cancer can happen to anyone mate, you are right that diet and genetics play a part in that. Nobody knows if he will die, i hope he doesn't. At this point though it really doesn't look good.

I don't know what to say... We all know he is more than the average youtuber or whatever... I really don't want the first funeral twitch stream being of him... We need you TB.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Honestly, I'm not too sure if F@H will help enough to save him. However, it would be good for down the road.

Exactly, if he really cared, he would promote it to his huge fanbase in order to get all the gamers to fold.

You're overestimating f@h. Even if another million or two people did it it wouldn't fix the problem over night or in a year.

If it did it would have already been done.

Nvm... He is impossible.

After receiving such news, I think he has some more important things on his mind atm. That doesn't mean he doesn't care. Not at all.

The ability to google properly is a skill of聽its own.聽

I wonder what the life expectancy is for stubborn bastages like John?!
Maybe we'll get to experience 'stoned TB' over the coming years, can only imagine how long and complex his 'I will now talk about X for 125 minutes' :D

Moved to General Discussion. This isn't really Tech News.

That's terrible. I hope that somehow he makes it out of this.

Did I ever say it would fix the problem? I said it would help finding a cure, that's essentially the job of F@H.

And how do you know if another million people would do it it wouldn't fix the problem? Not within a year of course, that's way too short, but say within 5 years? He has the power to make people know, and those people will tell their friends and family to start folding.

Eventually, TotalBiscuit is going to die from cancer, unfortunately. Do you actually the gaming community won't be in mourning, for a bit? I think that if he told people to fold for HIM, for cancer, he would help F@H get more folders and eventually perhaps find a cure. Not in the near future of course, but one day.

You're underestimating F@H, by a lot. Do you not know that they have published hundreds of papers, including on cancer? Just take a look.

Obviously, I see that you don't even fold so why would you care or even know. That's why I want Totalbiscuit to tell people to fold. He's going to get gamers (let's not forget the physical ressources we have) to fold for cancer, huntingdon's, parkinson's and alzheimer's disease.

As a former folder, I think the world isn't as close as it should be to find a cure because of people like you.

I've lost a couple people I knew to cancer(almost a third recently), cancer is a bitch. Nobody deserves to die from it, and it just sucks regardless. I wish the best for TB and everybody else fighting, stay strong everyone.

Fuck cancer. 聽Even if TB does completely destroy the average life expectancy of metastasized liver cancer, his life is still going to be short, and that life will be spent battling a cancer that may never go away with conventional medicine. 聽He can't get a transplant because the cancer has penetrated the bloodstream so any liver he does get is going to have the same issue, so all he can do is slow down the cancer from impeding liver function, but theres also the risk that the cancer moves on from the liver, then he's really fucked.

I can't imagine what he and his family are going through right now, just 1 day ago TB, his fans, and his doctors were all confident he had beaten off cancer, only to be shattered by one CT test. 聽

Genna was too late, TB already got cancer from reddit.
