J. Brown Illness
Brown took some time to provide an update on his fight against leukemia. The comic acknowledged that there have been difficult days for him, like the time he had to visit the ER due to dehydration. Even yet, there were still some bizarre incidents, such as a fellow patient shouting that she was “the sickest person here” so that she could finally get care, despite the severity of his condition!
Even though times can be difficult, J. believes it’s critical to acknowledge the networks of support that cancer patients rely on. Comedian Courtney Black is someone who has always been on his side. Given that he only has two treatments remaining, Brown will soon be able to relax, even though this emotionally and physically taxing condition may make him cranky. An MRI will next be performed to determine the cancer’s current state
