A New Sense of Time and a New Purpose

When you’re going through cancer, time stretches in strange ways.

There are days when minutes feel like hours when all you can do is survive breath to breath. Then, there are moments that flash by in a blink, a doctor's glance, a piece of news, a change in your body.

Time stops. Then rushes. Then leaves you behind.

But something else happens too: your relationship with time changes forever. You stop taking it for granted. You begin to realize that every hour you feel like yourself is a gift  and every day you feel useful is a calling.

That’s how it happened for me.
That’s how my cancer journey gave birth to ProfBees.

Why I Couldn't Stay Silent

After I began recovering  slowly, painfully, and unevenly  I realized something: I had knowledge most people didn’t.

I had spent months learning how to manage my symptoms naturally  not to cure cancer, but to support my body through it. I experimented with mixtures and ingredients that could soothe my throat, help me digest, and let me feel human again.

I wasn’t a chemist. I wasn’t a CEO.

I was just a man desperate for relief.
And eventually… I found something that worked for me.

The Day I Knew This Was Bigger Than Me

Once I was back on my feet, I kept meeting other patients just as scared, just as tired, just as overwhelmed as I had been.

I remember one man in particular. He hadn’t eaten or drunk anything by mouth in over a week. He’d lost 85 pounds and was confined to a wheelchair. His family was preparing for a vacation they didn’t believe he could enjoy.

I met him through someone I’d once given my business card to  randomly, without thinking much of it at the time.

That one small act… changed everything.

Within days of using the mixture I had developed during my own recovery, this man began to eat again. He drank water. Then soft foods. Then walked around his neighborhood.

Five weeks later, he was on that cruise. No wheelchair. No feeding tube. No setbacks.

That moment shook me.
It wasn’t just my story anymore.

The Birth of ProfBees

That’s when I made the decision: I had to share what helped me and now, him with the world.

I created  Professor Bees Digestive Aid with a mission: to support people like me on their healing journey, in a gentle, honest, and natural way.

I kept it simple. Two ingredients. No long lists, no artificial fillers. Just relief and support drawn from what had helped me feel more like myself again.

I’m not claiming a cure. I never would.
But I am saying: support matters. And comfort matters.

If I can help just one more person feel a little less afraid, a little more whole, a little more able to show up to their life… then it’s worth it.

A Purpose That Found Me

Cancer took a lot from me.

But it also gave me something I never expected:
a new purpose, a deeper empathy, and a fire to serve.

I’m still working through the FDA process  responsibly, carefully, and transparently. I want to do this the right way.

But even before my product reaches store shelves, I want people to know this:

If you’re in the fight of your life… you’re not alone.
If you’re seeking comfort… keep seeking.
And if you’ve ever felt forgotten in your pain… you are seen.

In the next post, I’ll share more about how cancer reshaped my career, my daily habits, and what I now consider a “good day.” Because surviving cancer isn’t about “going back” to who you were  it’s about moving forward with who you’ve become.

Until then… Thank you for reading.
And thank you for letting me turn my pain into purpose.
