Popular Twitch streamer ‘Pokimane’ recently opened up about an “overwhelming” health scare in a November 4 YouTube video. Pokimane shared that she’d undergone a biopsy after a lump in her chest—previously removed—regrew, leading to a stressful period as she awaited results. Following MRIs, her gynecologist raised concerns about her chest imaging, prompting further testing.
The broadcaster expressed her anxiety over the situation, admitting she wasn’t sure “how worried” to be, but ultimately received good news when the lump was confirmed as benign. A second biopsy on another lump also revealed noncancerous tissue, providing immense relief. Pokimane shared a heartfelt moment in the video: she received the news on her mother’s birthday, calling it “the best birthday gift” her mom could have received.
Pokimane, who has previously shared her experiences with tinnitus, chose to be open with fans, hoping her story would encourage others to stay proactive about health checkups. “The reality of it is, what I experienced wasn’t just a health scare. It’s actually kind of a routine part of taking care of yourself and screening for things as early as possible,” she said, urging viewers to prioritize their health.
This follows news in April when fellow Twitch star Ninja celebrated being cancer-free after his own melanoma diagnosis.
