“Colon cancer awareness is what we about!!! LINK IN BIO FOR SUPPORT. #enkyboy #nevergiveup #fight WE AINT GOIN NOWHERE!” Gonzalez wrote on Instagram with a video showing him with his son in May 2022.
“It’s too early for this right now,” he said in a YouTube video that discussed his third round of chemotherapy.

Gonzalez first told fans he had cancer in April 2022 in a TikTok video.
“I just want to say God bless everybody,” he said in the TikTok video, revealing he had an announcement to make that was “not good.” Six months before, he was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer, he said.
“I kept it to myself,” he said. He didn’t want to “tell everybody my business because it was personal.”
But then he said he felt he could use his situation to give awareness to other young men about colon cancer. “I want to do awareness,” he said.
He said the revelation answers fans’ questions about why he lost so much weight.
The doctor said he had two to three years to live and, with chemo, he had five years to live, Gonzalez revealed.
“I didn’t know how to take it. It was devastating,” he said in the video.
“I believe in God. I believe in Jesus. And I believe no man can dictate my life,” he added.
He said he wanted to help other people and “start awareness” so young men “get checked for colon cancer.”
He said he was always in pain and had trouble with his upper abdomen, which is why he was checked out. Doctors thought it was an ulcer, he said.
“Go get checked in the early ages,” he stressed in the video.
