“It’s very hard for me to say this but about two days ago I was experiencing some phlegm and blood in my phlegm and so I went to the doctors to get it checked out,” LaCue said.
“They found some pulmonary nodules in my lungs. I got a test to go to a radiologist and the radiologist confirmed that I have pulmonary cancer.

“I’m not sure if it started there or if it originated from something else … but it’s looking like I have to go into treatment immediately.”
Sylvan continued by vowing to beat the disease: “I have no doubts that I’ll pull through this. I don’t know if I caught this early or not, but regardless, I know I’m going to be able to pull through this and I know everything is gonna be fine.”
He concluded his message by asking fans to “please help me support in this time and keep me in your prayers.”
The 33-year-old has also set up a GoFundMe seeking donations to help him fund his “medical bills and living expenses” whilst he receives cancer treatment.
He has so far received over $18,000 of his $250,000 goal.
