What happened to Albert Chang? Revisiting controversy surrounding LilyPichu's ex boyfriend in the wake of cancer diagnosis

Twitch streamer Albert Chang recently posted on Instagram, talking about his experience since being diagnosed with a rare form of bone marrow cancer in the summer of 2024. He has been dealing with the condition for the past eight months and has revealed that he is currently undergoing chemotherapy to facilitate a stem cell transplant in the upcoming week.

Chang, who was previously known as sleightlymusical, is the former long-term partner of OfflineTV member Lily "LilyPichu." Their separation became a major topic of discussion in November 2019.

Chang expressed his gratitude for the support provided by his friends and family in recent months. He wrote in his Instagram post:

"I can’t thank my friends and family enough for keeping me alive during this whole ordeal. Definitely a life changing experience, and one that I’m more than happy to talk about, especially if anyone’s interested in being a donor. It could save someone’s life."

His most recent Twitch broadcast, which is subsequently the VOD available on his channel, involves him talking about his diagnosis in detail to his audience. Also announcing a hiatus from streaming owing to his cancer, Chang titled the broadcast, "Welp, I got cancer so this will be last stream for a bit."

Addressing his audience in the broadcast, he said:

"I'm getting a stem cell transplant on Thursday of next week, and I have to be in the hospital for, I think, three to four weeks depending on how quickly I'm recovering. Essentially, I'm going to chemo right now to kind of remove my body's defenses so that when I get the foreign donor cells, that my body doesn't attack it."
