OH ANDY! :'(

Here's a press update from the Spartacus Facebook page:

Why do things pertaining to Spartacus keep breaking my heart?! I seriously don't know how much more of these Spartacus-related heartbreaks I can take! Despite that it says they discovered it in early stages and that it's very treatable, the word CANCER just upsets me to no end. I love this show SO DAMN MUCH, and I love his character! Most of all I love this guy, Andy Whitfield, he's SUCH an incredible actor and a beautiful man. It just upsets me when cancer happens to incredibly wonderful people I adore and love!

Andy, I can't speak for anyone else, but as a Spartacus fan, you have my full support! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Get well soon and we look forward to you bouncing back all healthy and well in Spartacus: Blood & Sand Season 2! STAY STRONG, CHAMPION OF CAPUA!
