Cancer is called the Emperor of all Maladies. It is a horrifying disease, in which a person’s own body and cells work against them and may cause them to die. If detected at the right time, many forms of cancer can be treated. But, the treatment is also a painful, expensive, and leeching experience.

And so, it is very important to motivate and sympathize with people battling the disease. And that is exactly what Andrew Tate‘s brother Tristan Tate did for a cancer patient on Twitter.
