There are days where I face the very mortality that has been ascribed to me in patients.

You know, I see patients decompensate and I see their health decline or they get a bad scan or they pass away.

And I see the future that I've been told that I have, even though we're not sure exactly when that will be.

And so people ask all the time, how are you doing this?

And I have learned two really valuable lessons.

One is I lean a lot on God.

Sometimes I actually feel him just pushing me back up when I want to flee the room.

And also, I realized that my sister and Viktor Frankl were correct, that having a sense of meaning and purpose in your daily life, especially when helping others, fighting cancer in me and also in my patient community, is honestly what I think has kept me alive this long.

I'm about a year past that two-year deadline.

And thank you, thank you.

I appreciate that.

And the doctors, as of the last scan, they say that the tumors are still shrunken and stable.

So we're still going.

And each day that I go into the cancer center, I find myself really excited about the people I'll get to meet with and the exciting bucket list items I'll get to tackle in the future, no matter how long of a time that might be.

Thank you.

Yes.

I have wondered quite a few times, like, why add more fear to my life at this moment?

But I think trying to do a little bit of travel would be really great.

But that's also a little bit scary to be, like, maybe away from life.

medical and all that other stuff.
