Seventy Radiation Treatments. A Stage Four Death Sentence. And a December

CT Scan Miracle Nobody Expected.


Still Here — Available Now on Amazon

For more than four years, I have been fighting for my life. Today, I am sharing that fight in a different way. My memoir, Still Here, is now published and available on Amazon.  

This book was written during some of the hardest stretches I have ever faced. Many of you were part of that journey, whether through support, prayers, messages, or simply being there. That mattered more than you know.  

“This is not just a story about battling cancer. It is about what you do when the battle becomes harder than you ever expected.”  

What this book is  

Still Here is a direct and unfiltered account of my cancer journey. It includes the moments most people do not see, the fear, the uncertainty, the late nights when the future felt unclear, and the conversations that followed.  

It also documents the fight itself. Over the last four years, I survived my oncologist’s recommended cancer treatments. This included 70 radiation treatments, more than 20 chemotherapy infusions, and a five-hour radical neck dissection performed by three surgeons. When the cancer returned for a third time in June 2025, I reached a point where I needed to go beyond standard cancer treatment alone.  

I began researching, studying, and building an integrative approach that combined conventional oncology with additional strategies, including immunotherapy, high-dose IV vitamin C, the carnivore diet, nutrition changes, and a complete shift in how I supported my body and immune system.  

This book does not prescribe or instruct. It documents. It shows what I tried, what failed, what I adjusted, and what ultimately helped me continue forward.  

Who this book is for  

If you or someone you care about is facing cancer, this book will feel familiar. The decisions, the uncertainty, the search for hope, and the need for something to hold onto are all part of that experience.  

This is not a book of promises. It is a real account of one path through stage four cancer and what it took to keep going.  

Today, what matters most is simple. Time with my family. Being present. Waking up and having another day. Help people battling cancer or provide information to families and caregivers of loved ones with cancer. That is what winning looks like to me.  

Find Still Here on Amazon  

If you choose to read it and feel it is worth sharing, a review would help more than you might expect. Reviews are what allow a book like this to reach others who may need it.  

Thank you for being part of this journey. There were many days I would not have finished this without the support around me.  

With gratitude,
