In this episode, I am lucky enough to interview my friend Kelly Lewis. Kelly knows very well what Lyme/TBI do to someone after his own first-hand encounter with it. He was able to figure out somewhat early on that he had Lyme, although it took a little effort, especially because he did not get the standard rash right away. To remind you, only 35% of people get the standard bullseye rash so that is not a failsafe way to determine if you've been bitten. If you do get a bullseye rash however, you do not need blood work to confirm you have Lyme as the rash is proof positive. Gratefully he began treatment right away and was starting to feel better, when he got hit with Covid. That really did a number on him and shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with cancer. In his own words, the symptoms from Lyme were far worse than the symptoms from cancer. If he had not gotten the cancer diagnosis, he would be advocating more for Lyme, but since his is now healing from cancer, his focus is in that space. Kelly acknowledges that the Lyme potentially masked his symptoms of cancer and delayed his diagnosis. Because the Lyme made him so tired, and not feeling right, he ignored some other symptoms which ultimately became hard to ignore, causing him to get additional testing leading to his cancer diagnosis. He encourages people who aren't feeling well to keep going to their doctors until you get the right answer. "Survive and thrive" has become his new motto as well as telling people he loves them frequently, as you never know when your last moment will be. His company is doing better than ever which he attributes to this attitude. Kelly is not letting any sickness slow him down. He is using it to push him to go faster because he, like us all, doesn't know how much time he has left. He has written one book, "Rheingold: Born Fatima", and is journaling his experience with cancer to turn into gis second book. Currently Kelly is undergoing stem cell treatment which should hopefully fix everything. You can follow him on and cheer him on during his fight on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/kellylewis25... In his free time, super hero Kelly also does his best to raise awareness around the violence that takes place against women such as rape, incest, FGM, and trafficking.

The world needs more people like you. Thank you for your bravery!
