Transcript

00:00I'm 38 years old and I've been diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

00:06What. The. Hell.

00:10TikTok executive Govind Sandhu is opening up about his cancer diagnosis.

00:15The head of TikTok Australia's Global Music Partnerships shares on his Instagram June 11th

00:21that he's been diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

00:26So today was the first day that I got a preliminary diagnosis of my condition,

00:43which is stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

00:52In a follow-up video posted June 23rd, the 38-year-old reflects on how shocking his diagnosis was,

00:59given his age and that he leads a healthy and active lifestyle.

01:03I'm 38 years old and I've been diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

01:10What. The. Hell.

01:13This wasn't exactly part of my five-year plan.

01:17I thought I was in the best shape of my life, the healthiest I've ever been.

01:21A CrossFitter who runs ultra-marathons and marathons, lives and breathes training,

01:27optimizes sleep, recovery, supplements, nutrition.

01:33I just finished 75 hard and was in Bali for a couple of weeks training up a storm.

01:39And I got back to Sydney training for the Gold Coast Marathon.

01:44I got this news after completing the Sydney half marathon.

01:49Speechless.

01:51Earlier this month, Govan revealed to followers what cancer symptoms he was experiencing.

01:56But for me, it was the day after the half marathon race where I just got really bad flu-like symptoms

02:04and in particular, really bad body aches as well at the back of my neck, all the way down to my shoulder.

02:12And that night, I had wild body sweats, which just would wake me up throughout the night

02:18and I'd be absolutely drenched.

02:20And they're the three things I did that made me go direct to the GP the next day.

02:25And the executive is continuing to update fans amid his cancer battle,

02:29which will include six intense rounds of chemotherapy.

02:33However, Govan says he's not giving up and is learning to just take things day by day.

02:39Plan for the worst, hope for the best, but things can change daily.

02:43So for me, it's about taking it day by day, taking it step by step.

02:48And as I've said before, control what I can in terms of movement, nutrition, diet,

02:55and do what I can to starve off this absolute bitch of a disease.
