Dr. David Fajgenbaum

And I'll never forget, like, seeing him just before treatment started and then seeing him a couple days later and, like, seeing the blood work and seeing that things were improving.

Yeah.

Within days, within days.

He was critically ill in the hospital and within days seeing things were starting to stabilize and they started getting better.

And I would come by every day and his mom would hand me the lab test and I would look at it and I was like, oh my gosh, Joey, this is working.

And like, for me, that meant so much.

He's now a sophomore in college at Temple University in Philadelphia.

I just saw Joey a couple of weeks ago and like,

He wouldn't be here if not for this drug that I came across that saved me, and now we've got patients all over the world on it.

It just means everything.

It feels, it's incredible.

And, you know, the feeling, and actually the thing that's most incredible, Sean, and I don't know if you'd immediately appreciate this, but for me, what I found is the most incredible part is when I get to hear about what these people are doing, basically in this overtime that they've got.

So like.

Joey's a sophomore in college.

Kyla, who we've repurposed another drug to save her life, she's now trained to become a nurse.

She wants to take care of other people with illnesses like nurses took care of her.

Michael, who has a rare cancer, we repurposed a drug for his cancer.

He walked his son down the aisle a year ago, eight years after he was diagnosed with this terminal cancer.

And then just last weekend here in Nashville, he walked his daughter down the aisle.

And when I get to see those pictures, when I get to hear about those things that they wouldn't have done, for me, it's one thing to be like, oh, months or years.
