Your cancel journey is incredibly inspirational and I will share it on.
But actually, I'm writing to tell you that many of the OTHER things you have done have had a huge positive impact. Gitlab foundation, for example, has been extraordinarily impactful on our organization and many others.
This is the way!
how do you handle GitLab + Kilo + all this personal work? what system have you figured out? sorry if you've written about this somewhere, i think there's a meta lesson you have that we all can use.
Such an inspiring read. As a bioinformatics researcher I'm awed by the depth of the deck. How do feel about the process of learning cancer biology and bioinformatics?
Ps. I work for BillionToOne oncology and we build some of the most sensitive liquid biopsy tests (https://www.northstaronc.com/). Feel free to reach out if it pique your interest!
How do you deal with setbacks both in work and life, and show resilience and belief you can find a solution? Is this innate or something you worked on? Also, are there things you think are impossible for you to do?
Thanks for the inspiration! Is there anything new you've learned about fibrosis in your journey?
Have you run into other people doing the same ? it could be a nice new movement.
take care
This is very impressive, top labs doing research often don't have experimental designs that are this elaborate. Was the TCR and BCR-seq you conducted helpful to design cell therapies, neoantigen vaccines, and monitor progress?
Given that you carry the HLA-B*27:05 allele, you might have been blessed by being predisposed to a better response. But probably you want to keep an eye on future autoimmunity issues. Talking from experience...
My pleasure! How does someone support someone going through cancer? I would especially like to know how to best support someone upon initial diagnosis. It seems like you have an amazing support system and I would like to be that for someone.
Have you just "ordered the cancer vaccine" or this is not yet that easy?

Just a few notes:
Fasting (1 to n weeks) is said to provide potential benefits for certain types of cancer treatments. Pre-cancer, it is said to potentially prevent cancer onset. This is potentially powerful for those of us with a family history with cancer.
I have been fasting for a couple of years. My longest fast was 21 days last year. I am on track for a four week fast right now.
Note that there seems to be research indicating that prolonged fasting with cancer might not be good, fasting around treatment is a different story.

Sunlight exposure is also said to be critical with treatment of disease. It isn't just about vitamin D.
Here's a Huberman episode with Dr. Roger Seheult on the subject:
I have worked as an architect in HCLS technology for 10 years with Google and AWS.
Listening to you stitch all the technology and innovation together, moving from the information world to the physical world, as a patient, almost brought me to tears.
You said this will be the standard of care in 30-years, but the capability is here today. Listening to your recording is a profound moment in my life.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
