Taskmaster' Richard Herring Announces 'Incurable' Cancer Diagnosis
Richard Herring said the blood cancer is incurable but treatable, and he has started chemotherapy after doctors tracked abnormal bone marrow cells for years.
- Comedian Richard Herring revealed to his Substack followers that he has received a second cancer diagnosis, this time blood cancer called hairy cell leukaemia, which he described as "incurable".
- Doctors found cells in Richard's bone marrow about 12 years ago, but the condition remained stable for five years of testing before worsening.
- Clarifying the blood cancer bears no connection to his earlier testicular cancer, Richard joked that "Someone up there just doesn't like me."
- Following his initial chemotherapy session, Richard described his NHS encounters throughout his Substack post, reassuring supporters the condition is manageable through treatment.
- With characteristic humour, Richard joked he will use the fact he has incurable cancer "for all it's worth" for the rest of his life on Substack.
