Many fans and prominent Youtubers have been paying respects to Technoblade, a gaming YouTuber who died of cancer at 23.
How long did Technoblade have cancer?
Technoblade disclosed his diagnosis with sarcoma on August 28, 2021, when he uploaded a video revealing his diagnosis. This came after having pain in his right arm and a bump on his shoulder.
His therapist stated that his arm would potentially need to be amputated after his chemotherapy and radiation therapy proved unsuccessful. He successfully underwent a limb salvage operation with his arm intact in December 2021.
On June 30, 2022, his father uploaded a video to his channel titled “so long nerds”. He announced the death of his son after he succumbed to his metastasized cancer.
In a message, he wrote, “If I had another 100 lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time. I hope you guys enjoyed my content and that I made some of you laugh.”
According to his wishes during his final hours, proceeds from merchandising would go to the Sarcoma Foundation of America.
