Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer in a heartbreaking video that he posted on his YouTube channel.
Technoblade has been absent from social media, YouTube and Twitch for quite some time now. So, fans were pleased to see a new tweet and a YouTube clip from the content creator. Much to the chagrin of his fans, it was a grave announcement.
On August 27, Technoblade said that he was feeling very productive in June. Moreover, he explained that he has been leaving no stone unturned in a bid to improve his videos and get business deals done. He went into a short hiatus after experiencing pain in his right arm to try and recover.
After noticing his shoulder was swelling, the content creator assumed he had broken a bone, so he went to the hospital where he was given the bad news.

“They performed a couple of scans and told me the reason my arm hurts is because I have cancer,” he said. “That really couldn’t have gone worse.”
Much to the relief of his fans, Technoblade said that he is going back for chemotherapy this coming week. Aside from fans, Dream, Skeppy, and other popular streamers supported Technoblade and wished him a speedy recovery, SportsKeeda reported.
