No, I’ve been N.E.D. (No evidence of disease) since 2018 after my surgery. The cancer i had is called desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT).

this type of cancer is a sarcoma and is known for killing almost everyone who gets it within 5 years of diagnosis with a 15% survival rate. there are only just about over 200 cases reported since the disease was discovered in the 1980's.

there isn't much research on the cancer and there is little that is known about it still and of how it comes about.

that means that it's up to us to figure it out and to help others take care of this disease and others like it at a much easier and more effective rate.

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: Dr. Andrea Hayes Jordan, MD of MD Anderson and North Carolina Children’s Hospital, Chapel Hill

So many, but the main ones were…

1. scars in my intestines, inflammatory issues, loose bowels, etc…

2. insomnia and anxiety

3. complete weakness in my entire body and losing an extreme amount of weight

1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

2. Carnivore Diet

3. Acupuncture

4. Tai Chi and Qigong

5. Chinese Philosophy

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 just got my Doctoral of Science in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (DACHM) at Dongguk University in Los Angeles and am enjoying life doing outdoorsy stuff. my goal is to be a master of healing people.

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.
