Blizz B, who has become a popular Twitch streamer since YouTube channel and Austin-based production company Rooster Teeth went defunct in 2024, recently took to X to let fans know he’d received a harrowing health diagnosis.
“Bad news, I have been diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkins Lymphoma,” he began in his message. “Obviously, s— is scary for me right now, but if you would like to support my treatments and recovery, I made a GoFundMe link.”
“I plan to start my first treatment in the next couple of days,” he added in the July 24 message.
Meanwhile, the Rooster Teeth alum gave fans more details on his health crisis on his GoFundMe.
“On July 17th, I took myself to the ER because I was having trouble breathing,” he wrote. “Through a couple of tests, the doctors were concerned that I might have splenic lymphoma. This explained why I was rapidly losing weight, not eating as much, and randomly getting fatigued throughout the day.”
“I decided to admit myself into the hospital on July 20th with the hopes of solidifying an answer,” Blizz B continued. “On July 24th, I was officially diagnosed with Large Diffuse B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (DLBCL).”
Blizz admitted he hated asking for help, but explained that all funds raised would cover chemotherapy, treatment, and daily living expenses while he is unable to work.
“Also, please send the most positive vibes as I start this battle. Shit is going to be tough, but I am ready for it. Obviously, I am very scared, but I know I am not alone in all of this,” before thanking fans.
