I love this guy and hate what he's going through right now. If you're reading this you probably know exactly who he is, but in case you don't know he portrayed Ash in the legendary Evil Dead series among a lot of other films.

in another article it said he has a chronic type of cancer, and not an aggressive lethal type. its likely could be (speculation) CML, or MF which is pretty rare(which is pretty chronic and uncommonly becomes a more aggressive disease.

    CML = Chronic myelogenous leukemia

    MF = Motherfucker Cancer, but more likely - Myelofibrosis

    I didn’t know what the initials meant, and had to look them up. I figured I’d share.

    it could be myelofibrosis, i meant mycosis fungoides, despite the name it isnt fungal. its the late stage symptom(the tumor looks like a fungus) a rare t-cell lymphoma, usually found in older aged white men(most of the time), it takes a long time(most of the time) to enter into a different stage.

    MF looks eczema, allergy patches initially(but there are something unusual that usually is best discussed with a dermatologist)
