Quick update tweeps the surgery went well. Staffs @uchealth is amazing. I’m so thankful for all the kind messages from my friends, colleagues, family and my wonderful wife who’s been by my side 24/7 ♥️♥️♥️.
Next step biopsy/genetic results to figure out next step. Don’t know about you but I think treatment will start as soon as I come home with a nice 1978 Port that I’ve been saving all these years…

Two weeks ago, they found a tumor in my abdomen. imagine a big, juicy orange just sitting there. Routine exam, totally unexpected, and yeah, it’s scary as hell. I’d be lying if I said otherwise. Tomorrow’s the big day: a long surgery to cut this thing out, along with part of my small intestine. I don’t know if it’s malignant yet, I’m very nervous, but I’ve got confidence it’s going to go well. I’m in the hands of one of the best surgical oncologists @UCSDHealth seriously, I lucked out. I’ been thinking a lot lately obviously and I can’t say enough about my brilliant colleagues @UCSD and @NIH researchers and clinicians who pour their hearts into advancing science and fighting diseases. I’ve gone from being an NIH-funded researcher to a patient trusting my life to an NIH-funded surgeon. It’s a full-circle moment that hits hard. None of this—none of the research, the treatments, the hope—would exist without a robust healthcare infrastructure and the significant indirect costs from NIH that make it all possible. Slashing those funds to 15% IDC, doesn’t just threaten my lab and my research to find a cure for addiction, it threatens my life right now, and the lives of so many others counting on this system to survive. This is one of the toughest challenge I have ever faced. But I’m ready. Let’s kick this tumor’s ass!
