No, I’ve been N.E.D. (No evidence of disease) since 2018 after my surgery.

I did a lot (and then some)

To name off the bulk of it all, I did the following:

1. Chemotherapy: In Santa Monica, CA by the Cancer Center of Southern California, under Dr. Chawla's prescription, I had the “Red Death” trial version of Doxorubicin, called "Al-Doxorubicin,"  from June 2017 - December 2017 (7 months). Two Week cycles of 24/7 infusions via a portable pump and bag of chemo taken with me to sleep, the shower, everywhere and anywhere. And then two weeks off to recover. I would usually require Red Blood Cell Transfusions after each cycle to supplement my body’s lack of adequate blood supply due to the chemo’s harsh effects.

2. Surgery: At MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, TX. I had a bulk debunking surgery of 177 tumors removed with two main ones being about 15 cm in diameter each (prior to chemotherapy), that shrunk to 1/2 of their sizes after 7 months of chemotherapy. Dr. Andrea Hayes Jordan of MD Anderson / North Carolina Children’s Hospital Chapel Hill was my surgeon and worked for about 10-12 hours on me until her job was complete.

3. HIPEC: Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy directly after the debulking surgery and before they sewed my body back together. This is heated chemotherapy drugs that are applied directly inside the abdomen to eliminate any remaining cancerous cells on a microscopic level. Basically, it's a chemotherapy hot wash/bath within the abdomen.

4. Radiation:  Whole Abdominal Radiation (WAR) for 20 rounds over the course of 1 month at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, TX

5. Chemotherapy again in Santa Monica, CA by the Cancer Center of Southern California, under Dr. Chawla's prescription, but a lower maintenance protocol of drugs that were continued until 2020.

Internal Medicine (Primary) Doctor:
Dr. Amornchit Srikureja, MD of Santa Monica, CA

Oncology Specialist Doctor:
Dr. Sant P. Chawla, MD of Santa Monica, CA

DSRCT Surgeon Specialist Doctor:

1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

I was a normal student-athlete growing up. My sport was wrestling but during my free time, I was more artistic and enjoyed playing music, dancing, and drawing. I got a scholarship in wrestling for college, graduated with an aeronautics degree with 3 minors in business, meteorology, and aviation safety. following that, i got a masters degree in safety science. I was a work-a-holic and partied a lot with minimal sleep while believing that I would live forever and consequently exhausted my body to the point of becoming sick with a very rare cancer.

currently,  I am pursuing a Masters Degree in Traditional Eastern Medicine at Wongu University and am working as a barback in las vegas but my goal is to be a bartender to help support my life and passions - 9/8/23 mason

additionally, I am creating multimedia content about the traditional eastern techniques and skills that I've accumulated up to now and have gained a lot of followers in the process.

on my free time, i meditate, read philosophy, watch anime, practice guitar, draw/paint, and occasionally go out to bars or live music shows.

Push your limitations, and do absolutely everything you possibly can.

Stay positive, smile, joke and laugh it all off because you'll surpass your wildest expectations.

It makes it a lot harder to accomplish your dreams and goals when you are depressed and negative and stops you from giving yourself a real chance at achieving.

Just keep moving forward and expect times to get difficult and roadblocks to appear...but just keep moving forward.
