Twitch sensation Ninja, whose real name is Tyler Blevins, has received the uplifting news that he is officially cancer-free just days after disclosing his diagnosis of melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
Last week, the 32-year-old streamer stunned the Twitch community by revealing that a mole on the bottom of his foot had tested positive for melanoma. However, in a recent update shared on social media, Ninja announced that he had received a clean bill of health from his dermatologist following a successful excision procedure.
Ninja expressed gratitude for the support he received from fans during this challenging time and shared his relief at the positive outcome of the excision, which showed clear margins. Additionally, a nearby lesion that was biopsied showed only mild atypia and was completely removed.
