'Glad you caught it early': Internet sends prayers as Tyler Ninja reveals skin cancer diagnosis at 32

MIAMI, FLORIDA: Tyler Blevins aka Ninja, a YouTube star revealed a shocking skin cancer diagnosis after a routine skin checkup.

What type of cancer is Tyler Ninja diagnosed with?

Following the checkup, doctors recommended a mole found on the bottom of Ninja's foot be removed as a precautionary measure. Subsequent tests unveiled that the mole was melanoma, a form of skin cancer.

"Alright I’m still in a bit of shock but want to keep you all updated. A few weeks ago I went in to a dermatologist for an annual skin/mole check that Jess proactively scheduled for me," Ninja wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

"There was a mole on the bottom of my foot that they wanted to remove just to be careful. It came back as melanoma, but they are optimistic that we caught it in the early stages," the online star, who has 23.9 million subscribers on YouTube, continued.

"I had another dark spot appear near it, so today they biopsied that and removed a larger area around the melanoma with the hopes that under the microscope they will see clear non-melanoma edges and we will know we got it," he added.

"I’m grateful to have hope in finding this early, but please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups," he concluded.

Blevins noted that following their shift to Florida, they started getting annual checkups.

"Crazy butterfly effect moment — I probably wouldn’t have started scheduling annual skin checkups yet if we didn’t move to Florida," she wrote.

"Foot melanoma is not sun-related, so it would have been there anyways and we might not have found it. Thank God," she added.

Thanking fans for their support, Blevins wrote, "Also, thank you for your outpouring love. I’m here to be strong for @Ninja and give him all the help and support he needs!."

"We feel strong knowing God is walking with us through all of this!" she concluded.
