Dr. David Fajgenbaum

Man, I mean.

Yeah, if she hadn't said keep – if she hadn't said just breathe, Dave, just breathe, I'm not here.

You've got adrenaline.

You've got cortisol.

You're literally giving everything you've got to every breath.

You're doing everything you can to stay conscious, to stay there, to keep going.

Obviously, I only was sort of prepared to go once, and I sort of let go once, but quickly –

I said, no, I'm going to keep fighting because of my sister.

So that was the first one.

And then two near-death experiences happened the next few months in that six-month period where my doctors, again, were like, he's not going to make it.

And then all the blood work, everything said I wasn't going to make it.

But I got more chemo.

By the end, they were giving me seven different chemotherapy drugs, like the worst chemos they have at the highest possible doses, thinking like maybe we can stop this somehow.

And thankfully, they would sort of just get me by.

But then when I relapsed again a year later and then relapsed again a year after that, again, both of those times, it wasn't like this is maybe going to be it.

It was like this is it.

Like you fought really hard.

You made it.

But for me –

Each time my doctors told me that I wasn't going to make it after that first one, I was like, yeah, but you told me I was going to make it last.
