Tyler, who has been through hard times, recently shared his story to make others aware of it. A special test, the Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, helps detect prostate cancer pretty easily.
With a fighter smile, Gunther adds the PSA test is not so important in Australia, but it is necessary to do the PSA test, which will provide the basic idea of the spread of cancer. It can be detected in the earlier stage, but if it’s late, the bones and spine can be attacked, leading to no returning.
Gunter on Appearing in Friends Reunion
The most loved side character from Friends, James Michael Tyler, was all set to appear in the Friends Reunion, which took place in May. Everything to appear in the show was ready, and I was part of the plan, but sadly I couldn’t make it to the stage adds, James Michael Tyler.
Our Gunther added that he didn’t appear on the stage as he wanted the reunion to be good. In like manner, says that appearing on the stage and giving the news that I have cancer won’t be good. It would have been a sad start to such a comic show. Henceforth our Gunther decided to be part of the series through the zoom live.
