Former UFC fighter and AKA coach Mike Swick told his social media followers how he is currently battling lymphoma and leukemia.
Right now I'm lying in my hospital room continuing my battle with stage 4 lymphoblastic lymphoma and leukemia. This fight has been going on for a year now. It's 1 hour, 2 minutes and 57 seconds left before my 8-hour session of chemotherapy finally ends today. I will triumph over cancer. I will make 2023 my best year ever.
