What happened to Cormac Roth? Roth revealed via an Instagram post that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 stem cancer.
Roth shared on IG;
“In November of 21 I was diagnosed with stage 3 germ cell cancer.”
“Since then I’ve been fighting it daily, throwing everything I can at it. Chemo, high dose chemo, medication, transplants, transfusions, surgeries etc. It is called Choriocarcinoma, it is rare, and it has managed to stay many steps ahead of me no matter what I throw at it.
“It has taken away half of my hearing, 60pounds of weight, my confidence, and will continue its murderous path until I can manage to stop it some how, and kill it.”
