In a recent interview, he shared that numerous doctors had to operate on him and give him tons of instructions to follow.
“There were times in the months that I was undergoing the treatments that the body gives up. And I didn’t want to take my food through my stomach. They wanted to put tubes in and feed me nutrients because I couldn’t swallow. They had to get 2,500 calories into my body every day. That was ridiculous. That was so hard,” he said.
