Alexis Ohanian Sr.: To my fellow men — make those doctor’s appointments
Alexis Ohanian Sr., Founder of Seven Seven Six, shared a post on Facebook:
“After tracking some suspicious nodules on my thyroid for the last 4 years, I recently got half of it surgically removed.
The nodules were getting bigger and the latest biopsy revealed they’d very likely turn cancerous. My mom had breast cancer around this age (41) and then ultimately died from brain cancer a decade or so later.
I hate cancer.
I wasn’t gonna take any chances; the surgery was smooth and I’m extra grateful this Thanksgiving because I got the call this morning that my now-removed-half-of-thyroid was indeed full of some gnarly nodules that were very likely to become cancerous.
The worst part to be honest has been not being able to lift for 2 weeks but big fella will be back at it next week and I took my girls to Disney World this week so life is wonderful.
To my fellow, men — make those doctor’s appointments — especially if y’all are dads. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.”
