In January 2026, my family was told I had hours to days to live.

The Path

Everything I did.

People often ask me what I did. The honest answer is that there wasn't one thing. My recovery included many different decisions, and I can't say with certainty what role each one played.

I decided I wasn't going to be a passive patient. I worked with my physicians, made difficult decisions, pursued rehabilitation, and explored additional wellness approaches I believed were worth discussing with my healthcare team.
