According to a tweet from the specialist who saw him told the media: “Michael you’ve got cancer, a bad one, of the sort that are not curable”, he added: “I don’t remember the rest of what he told me because I was thinking I was in the middle of a nightmare.
“They said I had a melanoma. Obviously melanoma normally is not in the armpit, it’’s in the skin.
“The metastasis had travelled and it showed itself up in my armpit.
“For a couple of days I didn’t really know what day it was. I thought it was a bad dream and in any case I thought it was minor and I would go to the hospital the following day and I’d be told, ‘We’ve made a mistake Michael’.
“One day, while I was having a beer, I told myself that science had spoken and I had a bad advanced cancer and the cancer had dictated a series of circumstances.

La muerte de Michael Robinson es un antes y un después en las retransmisiones del Plus. Ya nada será igual.
Conozco a poca gente (por no decir nadie) al que le cayese mal. Eso es casi lo mejor que se puede decir de uno cuando deja este mundo.Descanse en paz.
