Chadwick Boseman, lead actor of Black Panther, has died

[Anonymous]

I'm so very broken by this and couldn't believe it when I saw the news. I didn't sleep at all last night as I couldn't get it off my mind. My young husband has been battling cancer for the past couple of years, we literally just found out that its back after we were so hopeful that we'd beat it. This gut punched me and makes me feel so out of control, that there's such a real possibility that my husband won't beat it and that our kids may spend a large part of their childhoods without their dad. I'm so glad that Mr. Boseman was able to leave a legacy, doing so much for so many in his too short life. He also shows us how important it is to have empathy for people, even when you don't know their circumstances. They just might be quietly fighting for their lives.

I’m so sorry. I’m sending prayers for you and your family. Best of luck to you.

Thank you so much for posting this!

Yes, thank you. What an amazing man.

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry you are dealing with this heavy burden. Sending love and light to you.

But some people don’t, and may be battling a tough battle. It reminds me to be kind to others and not take life for granted.

Yes, it reminds me when David Bowie died.

I hope there is a protective force field around the Obamas and Oprah. I've already made peace with the fact that Alex Trebek is not long for this world.

Obamas and Oprah are fine. The only thing I care about is getting Biden and Harris through the hellscape of the next 65 days and WINNING.

Get your screenings on time, folks.
What a tragic loss of an immense talent.

Of course, if he was only 38 when diagnosed, the typical screening guideline (age 50) would not have saved him. Colon cancer is striking younger and younger, just awful.

If you are black, have predisposing conditions (diabetes, Crohn's, troublesome digestive system in general), and/or consume a heavily processed Western diet (aka SAD), get screened early and often.

Chadwick Boseman was a vegetarian.

Oh no, PP I’m so sorry. Is it colon cancer? If so, please know that many more are now surviving stage IV. If you haven’t already, please be sure he is seen at a major cancer center like Sloan Kettering. They are seeing particularly good outcomes with liver metastases.

I loved him as an actor and watched some interviews with him and he seemed like such a good person. I was shocked when I read he passed and feel very sad at this loss. I take comfort in knowing he got to do what he loved during the last years of his life.
