You know you’re a little too comfortable at your oncologist’s office when you order your own labs and literally put your feet up.

Mostly showing off my cancer-free toes 😬

And then there was one (day).

364 down, one to go and I’m done with treatment for stage 4 melanoma.

Scans/bloodwork/oncology pending, so I can’t proclaim victory yet, but I’m on the precipice of going up 3-0 on cancer.

Put ‘em in the blender 😂

(I know, I know, I’m wasting my time - but it’s a weird form of entertainment to me.)

2nd to last time I do this.

I hope. 😂🤞🏻

Diagnosed with a stage 4 recurrence 1 year ago today.

In the best shape of my 30’s after 3 diagnoses in 7 years.

18 days left of treatment and I’m playing pro hoops in Costa Rica.

Wild times. Lucky times. Hopefully it gets better for all of us. That’s why I share.

Arguably the most fun I’ve ever had doing cancer treatment.

Pura Vida 🇨🇮🏀

Got ourselves a win in the first game of our playoff series. I contributed by yelling my ass off, and it was still surreal. This adventure has been so gratifying.

First pro bucket in Costa Rica!

Sure, it was in garbage time of an exhibition (in which our opponents brought the wrong jerseys so they had to wear warmups 😂), but still, I’m stoked.

4 pts, 4 rebounds, 2 assists in 8 minutes.

1 happy dude.

Sometimes you wake up being extra considerate for your vlog comments 😂

Anyway, happy birthday, Mom - love you! ❤️

Being told your body is unremarkable never felt so good.

Today is my 7 year anniversary of being diagnosed with advanced cancer.

I thought I’d treat myself to a PET scan to celebrate.

I’m still doing treatment for stage 4 melanoma, but the last scans were clean, so 🤞🏻

PETicure for safety, obviously. 💅

317 seconds for my 37th birthday mile seems fitting, even though I technically failed the mission (sub 5:00).

Maybe it’s fitting because I’ve only failed during cancer years; gotta adjust to reality.

But like many other traditions, it’s still fulfilling as I change.

When the president of your university and your mom are proud of you dropping out twice (and ultimately coming back) ⬇️

My mom had saved this letter and forgot to ever show me it. It’s been up on her office bulletin board for almost 15 years now 😂

What I see when I lay in bed and look up.

Recognize these?

My blood was pardoned by the president, or whatever.

Happy early Thanksgiving ❤️
