Such a shame and at a such a young age. I only know him from youtube but his content is always presented in a professional way and easy to watch. Very sad.
This is how I feel about the whole situation.
I really hope he can pull through this.

No idea who he is but good luck to him.
From the sound of that quote, we're talking about bowel cancer as the primary.
It is a form I think that can hit the very young. It is also very aggressive, and doesn't tend to be caught until it has already metastasised - at which point, as he's said, there are very limited options for treatment beyond bombarding the area with toxins.
His attitude is exactly right though, and you never know what's around the corner. He should be keeping an eye out on patient forums, and badgering his medical team, to make sure that he's aware of clinical trials he might be able to get a place on.
Good luck to him.

there was a thing on TV recently about a guy who had inoperable (I think it was prostate) cancer, and his doctor suggested, as a last hope, to try broccoli soup every day, and it worked, as I understand it there are now a load of trials / research in to sulforaphane
Thought the dude had beaten cancer, terrible news. His 2-3 year prognosis isn't entirely accurate I don't think, that's more for older, weaker patients. He will hopefully live a lot longer and fingers crossed a miracle or cure happens.
a lot of people, especially on Reddit are calling 'karma' from his comments to another person a while back, telling them to 'get cancer and die' or something, but c'mon, nobody deserves this.

If that's how they think Karma works, then perhaps they should ponder on how it comes back on people taking glee in, or otherwise refusing empathy for, someone receiving such restitution.

Horrible news - gutted.
Positive thoughts to John and family.

Damn, I had hoped he'd beaten it but it seems not. 
He admitted that he pretty much ignored the symptoms and put off going to the doctor for almost a year and now it looks like he's paying the price.
Hopefully he can keep it at bay long enough for a new treatment to become available - my fingers are crossed.
