My Guts Are Nuts | Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

from Sickboy

They say laughter is the best medicine - unless you're diagnosed with something that sounds like a meme.Mike lives with FAP, short for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis - a rare genetic disorder that guarantees colon cancer without drastic surgical intervention. In this unfiltered and laugh-out-loud conversation, Mike opens up about the brutal realities of living without a large intestine, the mental toll of life-altering surgery at 18, and the deeply personal decision to write a memoir titled A Bump in the Road. From rows of shark-like baby teeth to an ostomy bag that looked like Rudolph’s nose, Mike takes us through the gritty details of his medical journey. But what starts as a conversation about disease turns into something much bigger: a story of resilience, perspective, and finding purpose on the other side of pain. Plus, a passionate pitch for bidets, because we all know bidets are for kings. Check out Mike's book!
