Youtuber Totalbiscuit diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer

Postby Raz » October 16th, 2015, 10:45 am

Yes, it's nothing new he's had cancer for a year or two now, but just yesterday he confirmed that the cancer has spread to the liver and he has an estimate of 2-3 years to live. This is heart-wrenching to hear about because I've been a long time fan of him, and I truly thought it was getting better. Maybe it is, but it's hard to stay positive.
I wish him well for however long he lives, whether it's another 60 years or 2-3 years, I hope he enjoys it.

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic

God damn, this is pretty heart-wrenching for me too, and I barely even know Totalbiscuit at all. Having a defined timer on your life is absolutely awful.

That said, he's right, the average that he was given probably isn't accurate. I hope he manages to fight it.

Maybe it is, but it's hard to stay positive.

Wow. Yet I can't seem to stay positive when I get a bad grade or I screw up with anything just slightly.

I watched some of his vids, and he was a great and very funny guy. It breaks my heart, nobody deserves it. All my best wishes to him.
