As many of you know, I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in March 2022 (never smoker). I’m still here, in fact I had another birthday on January 9 of this year. There are many reasons why I’m here and the main reason for that is that you have had me in your prayers.
In September 2025, I attended the World Lung Cancer Conference. At that conference, I met the CEO and leaders of a drug company called Nuvation Bio, which manufacturers my specific type of targeted therapy to tackle my cancer. In my conversations with them, they asked me if I would help them spread the word about their good work and the incredible science they put behind Ibtrozi, which is the cancer fighting pill that I take daily. I wholeheartedly agreed.
The result is this article of my story, published this past week in Authority Magazine, I Survived Cancer and Here Is How I Did It. Since then, they have introduced me to all types of practitioners and other interested parties who are in the cancer fighting business. Please use this as you try to encourage those you know with cancer to fight on. I’ll be here − and remember, I can’t do what I do unless you do what you do!
