Retired professional mixed martial artist Mike Swick announced on Instagram that he has cancer.
He provided a thorough update on his diagnosis and treatment on Wednesday:
"Anyway, for those wondering where I have been the last 5 weeks, I been battling Cancer in the toughest and most aggressive battle I have ever had. Started with a 48 hour water fast, then the first Chemo session with an additional 24 hour water fast, then a day of solid plant based organic food, followed by another chemo and fast, then plant based again, keeping this routine until the week was over.
