Day 5 of my hospital admission and I am sharing a quick update on how things are going. I will be here for about another two and a half weeks as I move through the toughest part of treatment. I have a few more days of high dose chemotherapy ahead and then the autologous stem cell transplant. In this video I show the chemo port, talk about how my blood counts are already dropping, and explain what the next few days may look like including the possibility of a platelet transfusion. Thank you for the texts, calls, prayers, and donations. This GoFundMe was created specifically for this phase of treatment and recovery. I will be out of work until the spring so every contribution and every share helps me keep things stable and make sure my kids are taken care of during these months. Since today is Giving Tuesday if you are able to donate or share the link again it would mean more than you know. If you are watching this on YouTube feel free to leave a comment so I know you saw the update. Comments and engagement help the video reach more people who may be willing to support or share.

Rediscovering purpose during cancer is one of the hardest parts of the journey. Cancer shifts your roles, your routines, your identity, and the parts of life that once made you feel like yourself. In this video, in this episode of The Business of Being You Podcast I talk about how to reconnect with purpose when cancer has changed the direction of your life. I share insights from my experience as a physician assistant, a certified coach, a man of faith, and a current Hodgkin’s lymphoma patient. My goal is to offer a grounded and honest conversation about what it looks like to rebuild meaning during treatment and the emotional, spiritual, and practical tools that can help along the way. In this video, we explore: • Understanding what purpose truly is • Why cancer can disrupt identity and meaning • How to shift your focus from what you can’t do to what you can do • Practical ways to reconnect with purpose in daily life • The value of silence, reflection, and stillness • How others can help you see strengths you may have forgotten • Why purpose is deeply personal and how to rebuild it at your own pace Whether you are a cancer patient, a survivor, a caregiver, or someone supporting a loved one, this conversation is meant to bring clarity, comfort, and direction during one of the hardest seasons of life.
