Who is he? Very sad but in a weird way there’s something comforting and dignified in the way he’s saying goodbye

Ive seen his tweets pop up on my feed. Very sad story. Am I right in saying he only got diagnosed last year?

It wasn’t too long ago anyway. Always seemed a nice man.

Christ. Was it always this way, or does online media /platforms allow you to just hear more about young people dying from cancer?

Was wondering the same … every day you hear of someone else … maybe it’s just age we’re at

Jesus im sorry to hear that.

Lad from our club diagnosed with leukemia… 35… Straight into chemo… He was feeling tired after covid.

Then boom hit this this diagnosis about a week ago.

Crazy stuff.

RIP

It’s hard to know what to say about the bug anymore.

Just awful.

We’re getting older so are more surrounded by it in our age group
