He shared details of his diagnosis with a very rare form of melanoma cancer starting with a callus breakout on a foot , he was a basket ball coach constantly on his feet at the time.

He explained that he didn't have any mutations of any of the known cancer genes even though his dad and grandmother died of cancer .

He shared how he had to have a foot amputated but his cancer still spread to his shin bone fracturing his tibia resulting in a leg amputation in the middle of the global pandemic and no one was allowed to be with him .

He shared how the medication he was placed on for five years had horrible side effects on him but didn't work at the end of the day, it only kept the cancer cells at bay for sometime and he now has cancer tumors on his lungs .
