Why is Minecraft streamer Technoblade on a long hiatus?

In Technoblade's latest video, titled where I've been, he explains the heartbreaking reason behind why he hasn't been uploading any videos. Towards the end of July, Technoblade experienced pain in his right hand. He thought it was simply a consequence of his long gaming sessions and decided to take a break.

Sadly, that didn't solve the problem, and he soon experienced swelling on his right shoulder, following which he decided to visit a doctor. In his video, Technoblade said, “They performed a couple of scans and told me the reason my arm hurts is because I have cancer."
