Twitch star Ninja is officially cancer-free days after revealing he had been diagnosed with melanoma.
Ninja shocked the Twitch community last week by announcing that a mole on the bottom of his foot had been tested and came back as melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
The 32-year-old streamer shared an update regarding his recent cancer journey on social media after getting a clean bill of health from his dermatologist.
“Excision was successful with clear margins. Lesion biopsied nearby showed only mild atypia and was entirely removed with the biopsy,” the Fortnite icon revealed.
Just got the news from my dermatologist, Great news x 2! Excision was successful with clear margins. Lesion biopsied nearby showed only mild atypia and was entirely removed with the biopsy. As of right now, I am officially cancer free ^_^ thank you all for the prayers and kind…
