The Day I Became the Bear | My Stage 4 Adrenal Cancer (ACC) Diagnosis Story

Описание: Thanksgiving changed everything.

I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack.
Instead, doctors found a softball-sized tumor and a rare cancer called Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma (ACC).

This video is the beginning of my story.
No edits. No filters. Just the truth.

I’m sharing this journey for my family — my wife and my sons — and for anyone walking this road alone.

This is Becoming The Bear.

Topics in this video:
• Stage 4 ACC diagnosis
• Cushing’s syndrome and high cortisol
• Medical dismissal and misdiagnosis
• Choosing home
• Why I’m documenting everything

If you’re dealing with ACC, Cushing’s, or cancer of any kind — you’re not alone.
