My heart dropped. Stitched from his twitter:

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.

For those unaware, TB is a big profile in Let's Plays and competitive gaming.

Dusk Golem · Oct 15, 2015

I didn't know whether to put this in gaming or off-topic, but he is a figure in gaming with attention and such around him, so I thought this belonged here.

He had cancer in the bowel, and he got chemotherapy and got rid of it... But spots of cancer have popped up in his liver, and its incurable. Life expectancy is 2-3 years, but there are outliers who live much longer, and he plans to try and fight the odds.

My best hopes go out to him, hope we do make big leeways in the next 10 years, and fuck cancer.

Best wishes to TB.

viewtiful_dru · Oct 15, 2015

Holy damn, I did not even know he had cancer, I wish him the best.

DrBo42 · Oct 15, 2015

That's horrible...

yatesl · Oct 15, 2015

I can't imagine how I would feel or react if someone told me I only had a couple of years to live.

Nokterian · Oct 15, 2015

Fuck cancer!

John hope you pull it through and be strong!

Toxi · Oct 15, 2015

Jesus, liver cancer. Hope Bain can push on and beat those expectations. Best of luck to him.

JetBlackPanda · Oct 15, 2015

damn.

So terrible. Nobody deserves this.

Total liver transplant is not an option?

HUELEN10 · Oct 15, 2015

I have no idea who this person is, but the 2-3 year thing sounds about right for that cancer. Not even Proton Therapy is much help at this point in time for it. Fuck cancer.

All of this...

He's got the right attitude though and seems determined to push the limits. Keep fighting, TB!

Enter the Dragon Punch · Oct 15, 2015

keeping the dude in my thoughts. was one of my first exposures to a big youtuber during the cata beta. ;(

PapaEmeritus · Oct 15, 2015

oh my god thats terrible. Not my favorite person for quick plays- but jesus. I wish him and his family the best- that's some gut wrenching news to any family unit.

N30RYU · Oct 15, 2015

+1 dice to that odds roll man.

Yeah, just read that, real heartbreaker.

I am wondering this myself.

I wish him only the best.

Always-honest · Oct 15, 2015

Damnn.. Best of luck.

ShinMaruku · Oct 15, 2015

I wish best of luck to TB. If they are agressive enough he might have a chance to beat the odds.

Thebeardofknowledge · Oct 15, 2015

Cancer fuck you !!!

RumblingRosco · Oct 15, 2015

TB is a really great guy. I think his personality was off-putting to some, but I've always liked and appreciated him. I wish him the best going forward and hopefully he can push it off long enough for a new medical breakthrough to develop.

RowdyReverb · Oct 15, 2015

That's so sad. He's so young too. What a shame

If they found it in his liver on imaging, it's probably elsewhere as well but not but not yet detectable, assuming it's metastatic from the colon.

super-famicom · Oct 15, 2015

Hang in there, duder

Spirited · Oct 15, 2015

This is awful, cancer sucks.

Hoping he will still have some quality time with his family before he eventually takes his deep slumber.

GameE · Oct 15, 2015

Damn I dont even know what to say. It's horrible. I feel awful.

Frog-fu · Oct 15, 2015

Awful, awful news.

1 tumour 5cm or smaller
3 tumours 3cm or smaller

anything outside of these, apparently, is inoperable via transplant.

Kezen · Oct 15, 2015

Best wishes to him.

marrec · Oct 15, 2015

I hope he fully recovers.

Scientist Supreme! · Oct 15, 2015

...fuck man. I don't even know how I would process that. Hope he gets better.

doctorcdcs · Oct 15, 2015

Fuck you Cancer.

If it were possible, I wish I could punch you in the face.

Effect · Oct 15, 2015

Really sucks.

On Demand · Oct 15, 2015

Wasn't he only 29 when he first reported this? How long ago was that? So young.

Yeah... It's killed more people in my family during my life time than WW1&2 combined. I know cancer research is advancing pretty fast, but I just wish we could end this shit now.

Hope TB finds a way to live the rest of his life that works out well for himself and those around him.

Summer Haze · Oct 15, 2015

Poor man. I wish him the best.

Fuck cancer.

BiGBoSSMk23 · Oct 15, 2015

Man, this is fucking terrible to read and I don't even follow him.

Lashley · Oct 15, 2015

Fuck cancer.

My gran has oesophageal cancer and she's basically a shell of her former self. Evil, evil disease.

Captain Pants · Oct 15, 2015

Liver cancer is awful. Four years ago my friend was diagnosed with it in February and dead in May.

Corpekata · Oct 15, 2015

Posted in Steam thread, but my mom went through something pretty much the same. Colon cancer that spread to liver. Got rid of the colon cancer but could not hold it back in the liver.

Really took a toll on her over the past couple years. Had trouble with her memory toward the end (that might be related to age so might not affect him).

Shit is rough.

Crazy that the word doesn't even show up in any presidential debates, when it kills way more people than guns or terrorism.

Kriken · Oct 15, 2015

I don't care what you think of his work or opinions, losing someone to cancer is always a horrible thing and I would never wish this upon anyone

Doctor_Thomas · Oct 15, 2015

Fuck cancer. Like seriously. Fuck it.

No one deserves that.

Sending all my best wishes.

Nibel · Oct 15, 2015

Terrifying stuff. Best of luck, TB.

PepsimanVsJoe · Oct 15, 2015

Fuck Cancer.
Seems like it exists solely to ruin the lives of good people.

Mitch · Oct 15, 2015

Been following him off and on since 2010 (WoW Cataclysm) or so. Seems like a good guy, and he's gone through so much shit. Really sucks.

Klossen · Oct 15, 2015

Cancer at such a young age is tragedy. Stay strong, TB.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.

Why does he wear the mask!?
