The English voice actor of Geralt in the Witcher series has been diagnosed with prostate cancer

"I had no idea. Random check and Boom… I have full blown prostate cancer. Treatment ongoing but looking good so far. Men over 50… get a PSA test… just in case. 🙂❤️"

All the best in his treatment and recovery. My father too just discovered he has prostate cancer this last month, but I learned a few things. Of course I was quite upset to hear at first, but learned that prostate cancer is one of the most survivable of all cancers. The treatments are often times highly effective, even if it means completely removing the prostate.

It's not comfortable at all, and it will leave lasting effects such as incontinence, but it's at least something that can be done to save the person's life.

All the best to Doug in his fight. May the heart of Geralt be with you through this battle, as well as the hearts of your millions of fans.

Thank you so much @outsider1624. 🙏

My father already survived thyroid cancer 20 years back. He's got this. Doug too. 👊

My father has been through the treatment for prostate cancer and fingers crossed so far it's all gone well. It certainly is one of the better ones to get if that means anything.

Much strength to you, your dad & fam. Glad to hear things are going well. 👊

I wish your father & Doug the best & quickest of recoveries.

Speedy recovery my friend, please guys, swallow your pride and get checked, your loved ones will thank you.

That's for colon cancer and works by looking for blood in the poop, the prostate is not connected to that part of the body in a way where that would work lol

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
