Chadwick Boseman did all those films after being diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer, in the middle of surgeries and chemo?
Then he didn’t ‘lose the battle against cancer’. He won. He f**king won — because he put that disease in its place until the very end!
Hero! pic.twitter.com/7n2agPLUQA

My god the ENTIRE TIME Chadwick Boseman was working in the MCU he carried this with him. Worked through it. Red carpets through it. Interviews through it. I can’t imagine the weight of it in the public eye. What a god damn actor. What a man. This is too awful.

Chadwick Boseman will never know how much we loved him. Battling colon cancer, shooting films in b/w bouts of chemo and surgery. What amazing strength.
He once said: “The struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.”
Rest on King. Long live T’challa! pic.twitter.com/5Mp0p4BMTf— Stephanie Busari (@StephanieBusari) August 29, 2020

10 movies in 4 years and didn’t show a sign of sickness. Even visited children with terminal illnesses while having one of his own (that we find out about upon his ing). Chadwick Boseman is a hero on and off screen. pic.twitter.com/Hf8RNXKnqG

Chadwick Boseman was a hero off and on tv. He was diagnosed with colon cancer stage III in 2016. Only if we knew these two would be gone in a year😭
