Well, first of all, thanks for having me. I mean, I've been a fan of you for a while. So being here, I'll try to kind of suppress my butterflies. But it's incredible to be here. So thanks for having me on and allowing me to share my story. Man, I mean, where do I begin? The whole process has been a lot to digest, and I'm not quite at the finish line yet, but I'm very close, which feels good.

I feel like a lot of people are stressed and everybody's working. So I just kind of had this tough it out attitude. And over the course of 2023, the symptoms got worse. What started as a light cough became an aggressive cough, so much so to the point where

I was almost becoming sick, almost vomiting from how aggressive the cough was. And that was towards late 2023. But mix that in with I had shooting pains throughout my back and my arms, all of which very strange and all of which eventually led to me being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

I honestly, it wasn't, you know, I got diagnosed and the first thought in my mind wasn't, I'm going to turn this into something great. It was... You know, I want to call my mom. I want to call my dad. And I want them to tell me that everything's going to be OK. I was terrified. And you're right. I had a great life. I still have a great life.

I didn't say I'm going to document this journey with the intention of sharing it with the world so that I could become viral or a public figure.
