Thank you so much for posting this!

Yes, thank you. What an amazing man.

This made me cry. What a beautiful person.

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.

Your post has chocked me up. I don’t know you but I wish I could give you a hug. I just said a prayer for your husband and your family. I’m so so sorry.

Currently watching BP and so grateful for such a terrific well-acted and well-produced film. RIP Chadwick

This is a great story. If there's anyone cooler than Denzel Washington, I don't know who it is.

I’m so sorry. I was just telling my husband we need to get colonoscopies. We are 43 and 49. Ugh. RIP.

Wow, I have to admit that I have never seen his films and didn’t know his name. I will watch them now. He sounds like a wonderful soul, and a talented actor who has obviously made a huge impact to his fans. RIP Chadwick Boseman

He must have been in remission.
If diagnosed in 2016, he'd completed his first round of treatments in 2017 and recovered enough for shooting. Then he was healthy enough to work and hoping for a longer remission, and then cancer returned and killed him.
RIP.

As a cancer survivor myself, I wish your husband and your family the best. Don't lose hope. Hugs!

The "Black Jeopardy!" segment from his SNL episode. Worthy of so many snaps. Wakanda forever.

And I've been thinking about the randomness of it all...
My elderly relative was diagnosed with colon cancer at, like, 80 years of age. He survived surgery and said "screw it' to chemo, too much suffering, not worth it. I'll take my chances. Long story short, his cancer never returned, even 5 years later!
Sorry for rambling but my point is, tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us, but, sometimes, unexplained miracles happen when no one expects them to.

I'm so sad. I loved him in 42 and Get On Up, marveled at his ability to transform into other people who really existed and inhabit them so beautifully. And of course, Black Panther. Everything he did was first class.

My DH has constant GI issues and his grandfather died of colon cancer. He just turned 41 and is so resistant to almost anything medical, including a colonoscopy. We've been arguing all morning about him making an appointment next week. We have little kids. Even seeing this news, which he woke me up at 5am to tell me, doesn't seem to be enough of an impetus. It's mind-blowing.

What race is your DH?
