A part of me believes that if I can contain my glioblastoma for 3 years , it will quickly turn into 10 🙏

For those of you who have a terminal illness, a chronic condition, or debilitating health issue, there is new reason to have hope.

New treatments are arriving that buy more time for the next to arrive. Even for the most vicious of diseases, for example, metastatic pancreatic cancer.

The recent breakthrough, daraxonrasib, nearly doubled overall survival, 6.7 to 13.2 months, with fewer side effects than chemo. It's hard to overstate the significance of this.

In a slow world, a few months doesn't matter much. In a fast world, that could mean the difference to make it to the next life-extending therapy.

We are on a long arc of getting increasingly better at solving disease.

In 1919, Elizabeth Hughes was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The only treatment was a starvation diet, which she did for three years. Her weight dropped to 45 pounds at age 14.

Then insulin arrived in 1922. It allowed her to live to 73.

And recently, Sid Sijbrandij used AI and existing biotech infrastructure to fight a recurring osteosarcoma that standard medicine had given up on. Today he has no evidence of disease.

A new era for life is here. It won't appear overnight. Nor will it be all sunshine and rainbows. But we are at the inflection point where hope can dare rise as the sun for those who have been stuck in the darkness.

Let’s get real, life is messy and sacred as hell.

I’m headed to Utah to be with my family as we spread my mom’s ashes. Grief is wild. It cracks you open, softens you, humbles you, and somehow reminds you that love doesn’t disappear. It just changes form.

And while I’m there, I get to sit down with my cousin Doug Cartwright on his podcast. A couple weeks ago, he was diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma, and let me tell you, his outlook is absolutely blowing my heart wide open. Not because it’s easy. Not because it isn’t scary. But because he is choosing presence, truth, humor, courage, and life in the middle of the unknown.

We are temporary. Love is not.

So I’m going to Utah with a full heart, a broken heart, and an open heart. To honor my mom. To celebrate Doug. To remember that we don’t have to wait for life to be perfect to live the shit out of it.

Practice, practice, practice. Be here. Love big. Say the thing. Dance your ass off while you can.

A few weeks ago my life flipped overnight.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma and given 12 to 18 months.

Everything feels different now. What matters is very clear.

I’m already deep into six figures in medical costs with no insurance.

If you feel called to support or even just share this, it truly means everything.

[love drops @lovedropx]

When someone you love offers a bid for connection, you say yes every time. When someone sends you an article, a video, a funny post, it’s a bid for connection. They are trying to connect with you. When someone shares details about their day, their life, their thoughts, or their feelings with you, that is a bid for connection. They want to connect with you on a deeper level. They are trying to pull you into their world. If you love them, you say yes every time. Yes, even if the article they send is not particularly interesting to you. Yes, even if it means listening to them ramble about a game you don’t care about and think is stupid. Yes yes yes. And let’s hope they always say yes to your bids, too.

In 2012, Brian Tracy literally gave a 1-hour sales masterclass worth more than an MBA.

His frameworks:
• The 90-minute truth
• Double face time = double income
• Collect NOs
• Be a doctor of selling

12 lessons better than a 4-year degree:

2. "Physiological sigh" to reduce stress
3. Get sleep (NSDR + supplements)
4. Training
5. Give prayer a try

Once you see the pattern of AI slop. You can’t unsee it.

Anything you read that uses the pattern of explaining first what it isn’t , was written by AI

“It isn’t X , it’s Y”

“It’s not A, it’s B”

It’s everywhere and it I immediately lose interest in what I’m reading when I spot it.
