Pokimane tearfully reveals “overwhelming” health scare after lump regrows

As a fellow gamer who has spent countless hours streaming and watching streams, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of empathy for Pokimane as she bravely shares her health scare with us. Having followed her journey for years, it’s heartening to see such a strong, resilient figure confronting adversity head-on.


Streamer Pokimane disclosed that she experienced a distressing health incident when a recurrence occurred in the lump that had earlier been surgically removed from her chest.

On November 4th, in a YouTube video, well-known Twitch broadcaster Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys disclosed that a lump on her chest, which had reappeared following an earlier removal, was the subject of a biopsy.

According to the broadcaster, the medical imaging from multiple parts of her body revealed a lump during an MRI scan. After sharing these scans with her gynecologist, they found reasons for concern regarding the images taken from her chest area.

The broadcaster openly acknowledged feeling “overpowered” by the experience, expressing uncertainty about the level of concern required. However, subsequent tests confirmed that the growth was harmless, indicating it was not cancerous.

I recently posted a video blog on YouTube discussing a health issue I’ve faced over the past few weeks. Initially, I was uncertain about sharing it, but I hope it offers support and guidance for anyone who might encounter a similar situation in the future. ❤️

Additionally, she underwent a biopsy on another lump found in a different part of her chest, yet the findings from this test were consistent with the previous one, indicating that the tissues were not cancerous.

She mentioned, “For several weeks now, I’ve been harboring a lot of stress, anxiety, and worry. It’s been accumulating inside me like a heavy burden.

Pokimane announced that the wonderful news arrived on her mother’s birthday, and she posted a brief clip of a heartfelt conversation with her mom who described the news as “the most incredible birthday present I could ever get.

Initially, she felt apprehensive about disclosing her health situation to her followers. However, she eventually realized that openly discussing her personal health issues could potentially provide comfort and support for those facing similar situations.

She explained that what she went through was more than just a health alarm; it was essentially a regular aspect of self-care and early detection of potential issues, which is crucial when it comes to maintaining one’s health.

“I truly hope this helps inspire you. If there comes a time when you need it, don’t hesitate to get tested for your health. It’s crucial to prioritize your well-being at all times, regardless of who you are. Take good care of yourself!

Previously, Pokimane has disclosed her health concerns to her audience, including sharing about her struggle with tinnitus – a persistent ringing in the ears – which her physicians initially suspected could be due to an ear infection, as revealed in May 2023.
