Waited what kind of cancer? Like at least say the specifics.
This is so sad. But also kinda makes me mad he didn’t say what he has?? Still, good reminder to get checked, I guess.
I saw Adam Klein comment and I’m like… why are they always so aggressive with the wording? “cancer f-ked with the wrong guy” 😬 But I’m glad he’s supporting him. Hope Ken beats it though, even without the type.
Man I hate hearing this. Survivor people always look healthy and then bam cancer. Idk if it’s from stress or whatever but if he’s 43 and didn’t catch it sooner, that’s terrifying. I wish these reality folks would talk more about what symptoms they had, not just “get checked.” Like ok but how often??
