Twitch streamer ‘Ninja’ is now cancer free [Video]

Renowned professional gamer and popular Twitch streamer, Tyler Blevins, known by his online alias Ninja, revealed on Thursday that he has been declared cancer-free.

This announcement comes in the wake of his diagnosis with melanoma just last week.

Blevins took to social media to share the uplifting update, expressing gratitude for his overwhelming support from fans and loved ones.

“Just got the news from my dermatologist,” Blevins wrote. “Great news.” 

Last week, Blevins announced he had a mole that had been spotted on his foot and came back as cancerous.

A small, innocuous mole nestled inconspicuously on the sole of Blevins’ foot set off alarm bells among medical professionals, prompting its immediate removal “just to be careful” and test results came back as positive for melanoma.
