Hey Steem Family,
I am writing here because this is one spot where I have not been so open about my story. The rest of the internet knows that I had surgery for testicular cancer in 2014, had radiation in 2015 and chemotherapy in 2017. I remain alive and well (ish), but its hard.
Its hard in the sense that even when I don't think about any of this, or try not too, the rest of the internet reminds me of it. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful that I have been able to help so many people out there with Testicular Cancer, but sometimes you just want to forget about it all, but you can't.
The internet can be a wonderful place and it has started many of my businesses. But when you put your entire life online, it can get difficult. at times.
Next week I have my one year follow up after chemo. As much as I am positive and optimistic, I remain a little scared. Its tough for me to say that sometimes as I am supposed to be strong role model, but being HONEST is something very important as well.
Anyways, just wanted to say Hi, appreciate you all. Let's keep growing this platform.
Me before surgery in 2014
