The Origin Story

A daily journal of resilience, reality, and maybe a little dark humor.

Life threw me into a match I never signed up for—Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL). Instead of rolling with endless phone calls and texts, I’m taking this fight to the mat here. This Substack is where I’ll document my treatment, thoughts, and the ups and downs of the journey. Some days will be raw, some will be reflective, and some might just be me complaining about hospital food.

If you’re here, you’re part of my corner. Let’s do this.

What to Expect:

• Daily Updates – Medical check-ins, treatment progress, and what’s next.

• How I’m Feeling – The good, the bad, and the “I need a nap.”

• Reflections & Insights – Thoughts on life, resilience, and maybe even jiu-jitsu metaphors.

• Gratitude Shoutouts – The people, moments, and small wins that keep me going.
