The Book

A Note From Aaron

Why I Wrote This

I was in my 40s, healthy, in what should have been the prime of my life, when they told me I had stage 4 colorectal cancer, and that it would be the end of it.

It took about 15 minutes to explain. Then I went home with the terror, the confusion, and more questions than anyone had time to answer.

So I started digging. Through the hardest stretches of treatment, I wrote everything down: what I went through, what I found, what I tried, and what worked and what didn’t.

There is almost always more available than what you hear in that first appointment. I know because I lived it. The trial that changed everything for me wasn’t listed under colorectal cancer at all. It was listed for “solid tumors” with one specific mutation. It took me months to understand my own tumor’s mutations well enough to find it, and not one person in the entire process pointed me there. The book shows you exactly how I did it.

And this field moves fast. The options in front of you a year from now may look nothing like the ones you’re given today. None of that is a guarantee, but it’s real, and it’s worth fighting for.

It’s going to be hard. It’s not impossible. If this book keeps even one person from facing it alone, it did its job. The first 100 copies are free, and you can claim yours below.

About the Book

The Roadmap I Wish Someone Had Handed Me

---

This isn’t medical advice. It’s one patient’s experience — the path I walked, the studies I dug through, the things I tried, and the results I lived. My goal is to make my process transparent, because I wish someone had handed me this roadmap when I was standing where you are now.

The book is organized so you can find what you need fast. If you only care about supplements, flip straight to that section. If off-label medications interest you, they’re neatly grouped together. Each piece of the puzzle is in its own box.

An Excerpt

From the Prologue

---

The nurse was steady. Calm, professional, warm in the way that people who do hard work every day learn to be. She checked my vitals, adjusted my IV line, made small talk while I tried not to think too hard about what was coming next. She’d done this a thousand times before—prepare someone for the trial that could save their life.

We chatted. I told her how thankful I was to be here. How I almost wasn’t. She nodded the way someone nods when they already know.

And sitting there, watching her go through the quiet choreography of preparation, it hit me—really hit me—how close I’d come to missing this entirely. The delays. The weeks of watching my scans worsen while the funding dried up, the staffing thinned out, and the timeline stretched in ways no one could control. My tumors had nearly doubled waiting for cells that were already mine, already engineered, already meant for me.

Lucky. That’s the word that kept surfacing. People used it gently, carefully, the way you handle something fragile.

But I didn’t feel lucky. I felt like I’d been fighting for my life on two fronts: cancer, and a system buckling under decisions made by people who would never sit in this chair, never feel the IV slide in, never wonder if the cure would arrive before the disease finished what it started.

I was here. That was the thing. I was here, and I knew others wouldn’t be.
