Has anyone seen this?

Its about Andy Whitfield the star of Spartacus. He was diagnosed with leukemia and eventually died from it. It is a documentary about his journey through the process. It's very sad because at the beginning it's clear he thinks he will beat it, he has to beat it.

That's where I'm at now
 
What do you mean, this is where you're at?

You have leukemia? Or you're starring in a movie about Greek sex?
 
Never mind. Dude ran off to India for some bullshit instead of real treatment
 
Wrap up cold, when it's warm outside
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
 
Yeah I saw it. Very sad, for sure.

I'm trying to remember the details but I think once the cancer returned he only had a 15-20% chance of surviving.

Hard to believe he died in 2011. Doesn't seem that long ago.
 
One of the higher ups at my company told me just that about 14 years ago or so when I was kinda starting out - "be here now."

Super nice guy, he was giving me some words of wisdom, etc. Said he had a mentor once tell him that, too.

Oddly enough, he became ill later with Crohn's or something. He never said what, exactly, but he lost a ton of weight.

Not sure what ever happened to him, but I still remember that convo.
