While I may not care for the guy's attitude a lot of the time, I do feel sorry for him. I don't wish cancer on anyone. I'm prayin for you John. Hope they find a cure in time and you kick cancer's ass.
That said goddamn we need to find a cure for cancer. We're getting so damn close. Too many people are dying to this disease.

Awful news. Keeping him and his family in my thoughts.
I mean, what would the debate be about? There's not exactly a split camp there.

Awful to hear 
Keep strong, totalbiscuit.
I feel as though they don't do transplants for cancer patients. It's no guarantee the cancer won't just pop up elsewhere, seeing as it metastasized already.

Holy shit, that's awful. Always appreciated this guy's work.
The truth.
I just lost my sister to cancer at the age of 46 after beating leukemia and going in to remission twice , and I have woken up every damned day since saying FUCK CANCER.
I am not a big TB fan but I know others are, and honestly no one should have to go through this shit. I hope he does up that average or ends up beating it.

I wish him the best. My heart goes out to everyone with this vile disease. I recently found out that my father has cancer I still haven't been able to comprehend it. I can only imagine his state of shock.

If my oncologist buddy is right, and he is... no. Realistically, that's not the case, especially with the sizes posted prior if accurate.I wish best of luck to TB. If they are agressive enough he might have a chance to beat the odds.
Again, fuck cancer. I wish him the best, and I hope he lives near places with experimental treatment options; would be the best shot.

Wasn't he only 29 when he first reported this? How long ago was that? So young.
Spring 2014 I believe. And yeah, way too young to have to deal with this.
The hardest part of all of this is that he was in "complete remission" a few months ago. The ups-and-downs of this must be infuriating.
You're right. They don't do organ transplants for cancer patients.

Is there no alternative for a liver like dialysis is for kidneys?

This is some really sad news, I just hope that he can hang in there. I love his content.

Biggest thing with cancer is it is you and thus is as adaptable as you. There are some new treatments on the way which will hopefully fix some issues and keep it down to background levels but it's something very serious and it's the next medical frontier. If we can crack that however, we shall be smacking down every subsequent illness very quickly.

His cancer is metastatic. At this point, even if they removed his liver, it's likely that he will have cancer developing in other organs.

Terrible news, I wish him all the best.
As someone who is a survivor of cancer, I know how rough it can be waiting for your next CT scan results. When I heard the doctor tell me that the cancer was not completely gone, it had to be one of the worst things I had ever gone through emotionally.

Wow. I thought he was better
Liver does a billion different things that you can't replicate. When mine got clogged up due to iron overload, I temporarily lost the ability to process fructose.
If you're on twitter, I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing stories like this right now. Horrible thing for anyone to have to go through.

Best wishes to John. My dad is going through a similar thing. It was bowel cancer, but detected early by a mail-in test. There were a few spots on the liver too that they are trying to reduce with chemo. Fuck that diagnosis.

That's really sad news
I hope that he will be able to endure whatever comes next in order to beat this.

Ok a little correction on life expectancy that people are misunderstanding. It is 3 years for elerly and otherwise infirm people, TB is not elderly and hopefully not infirm. Given that and if they use the right chemo, he will exceed that. He may get 8-15 years to even indefinite if he can hang on until a new treatment is developed.
