I think he's terribly unfunny and that show he does with a live audience is awful but I hope he pulls through without serious complications because whatever my feelings on his life or career might be, cancer is terrible.
Don't really know a lot about the guy, but getting diagnosed with cancer isn't fun news for anyone. Hope he keeps a positive outlook and gets well soon!
Some of you act like just because it's Hodgkin's he's gonna be fine. People die from that all the time, I mean, Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) lost his battle with it.
I'm not a big fan of IGN, but he is by far one of the best people over there and is doing some cool stuff. He seems pretty positive about it though, so I'm sure he'll recover.

Yea there are various versions of it, the one Andy Whitfield had was a much more aggressive type. From what it sounds like, Greg has a less dangerous type.
Michael C Hall (the guy who plays Dexter) also had Hodgkins.
I don't really like the guy or his work but cancer is awful and nobody should have to experience it. Read the article and the prognosis seems good so seems like he will make it through okay.
Horry Shet, Greg is the whole reason I went to IGN in the first place, now been listening to BEYOND! for close to 4 years. Thank god it's a relatively "easy" cancer
@ScurrilousNerd: It's a pretty lightweight cancer even at stage 3, and all things point to him finding it VERY early. This is such an easy cancer, it might not even affect him again until old age (because many cancers multiply the chances of reoccurring cancer later on.) I believe it's like 90% chance of surviving this for 5 years, and then the stats get all complicated, I didn't study that part too hard.

Some say your own brain is your worst enemy when going through cancer, and he obviously has a sense of humor about the whole thing, so I wouldn't be concerned.
Well... at least he won't die. I wish him luck though. It sounds like he's taking it OK. He seems to be one of the more recognizable people from IGN, plus, I believe he's the only one that's talked with the crew of Giantbomb where the viewers can listen in as well, and that's awesome.
I hope Greg's battle with cancer goes as well as he thinks it will. Chemotherapy is a terrible thing to go through for any human being. Best wishes on a speedy recovery.
Cancer always sucks, I really hope he gets through this. Though I understand a lot of the criticisms people have about IGN I still really like the personalitys overthere and I am an Avid listener of Podcast Beyond, Game Scopp and viewer of Up At Noon. I really hope he pulls though.
I can't say I'm exactly the biggest fan of Miller, but I really do wish him the best. I can't imagine it being any kind of pleasant to be told such news. Row row, fight the powah, man.
As I turn 34 everyone's getting cancer, it's freaking scary. Everyone get checked up. Go to a clinic, go to an ER, just do yourself a favor and get checked out for anything. And it's not enough to get one test, get another test, there's a lot of lazy doctors out there.
Hey, people. Guess what? Nobody gives a shit if you don't like the guy. If you don't like him, keep it to yourself. This is not the place to say that, and the fact that some of you think that's okay is mind boggling to me.
People that say I don't like the guy on here are fucking assholes. Please keep it to yourself. No one gives a shit and we should only wish for Greg's health. I can't believe people think its okay to say shit like that. Have some manners, folks.
Fuck all the cancers, seriously. Why didn't anyone find a cure yet? Hope the dude beats the son of a bitch.
Because cancer does not have a single cause but multiple. Different cancers have different causes and almost every human cell can turn into a cancer, meaning you end up with thousands of possible cancers. It's not like AIDS where the cause is a single indentifiable (HIV) virus, thought some exceptions like hepatitis virusses and humane papilloma (warts) virusses can cause cancers. I doubt we will find a single cure for all cancers, but I'm positive we will find individual cures for individual cancers.
I'm pretty sure Greg Miller will survive this, it's very treatable yet you shouldn't underestimate the toll chemotherapy takes on a human body. I wish him luck.

No need to freak everyone out. As long you don't have a fever you can't explain, you're not sweating in the night so bad you need to change your drenched bed sheets and drenched pyjamas or have lost more than 10% of your total bodyweight in the last 6 months (or less) unintended...chances are, YOU ARe JUST FINe.
I have been listening to podcast beyond since 2007 on and off. Sometimes his style can get a little over bearing, but i do keep going back, so I do like him overall. Anyway, I hope he can recover and quickly at that considering he did say that they know what they are dealing with and it seems to be a fairly treatable and unagressive type.
Well that's depressing.. Although I'm sure he'll be fine, since this is one of the more treatable forms of the disease. But still.. heavy stuff. Good luck Greg; you've pretty much always been my favorite IGN guy
Hmmm, I stopped listening to the IGN podcast a few months ago and visiting their site in general but I've always been a fan of Greg Miller and some of the dudes on the site there. I wish him a speedy recovery.
As sad as it is... I know this sounds bad... but if you have to get cancer it's the one you'd want. The survivability rate is higher than most. Still feel super-bad for the guy. Anyone telling you "you have cancer" would be so hard.
