I’m 39 years old and always been very athletic and very healthy. At the age of around 35 my wife and I took on a lot of entrepreneurship opportunities. We did very well at the beginning, we started a catering company, T-shirt and design and also a youth football organization. A lot of paperwork and lot time everyday. Long story short I did not believe the stress and lack of sleep would affect me the way it did. It began with my face swelling then extreme weight loss. I Was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma cancer. After 2 surgeries they discovered it wasn’t cancer it was Sarcoidosis of the lungs. This was new to me and it changed my life forever. I was half happy and sad. You probably ask why? Lymphoma I could possibly get rid of it. With sarcoidosis there is no cure. In some people it goes away and in some it stays forever. The results of having this disease it took away 40 percentage of my lung function. Also it doesn’t just affect the lungs it affects the liver skin in and every major organ. It was a big change in my life totally how I eat, how I sleep, workout, even it changed how I parent my children. Skipping forward a bunch lately I’ve been diagnosed with Covid. With this disease it lowers your immune system also so for 2 weeks I’ve been struggling with fever from 104 down to 99. But through this all I have to be a husband, Father and still be a good person even tho most days I feel terrible but I have to shine my light on the world even if it’s a little dim for the moment.
