Who is your favorite superhero? Superman? Spiderman? Batman? After you listen to this podcast, it will probably be Matt Cable.
After battling Leukemia, which included systemic organ failure, relapse, a battle with a brain fungus, and enough rounds of chemo to kill off a small horse, there is not much that gets Matt down. Especially, when he beat the odds that told him he should not even exist today.
Join Jay and Donna as they sit down with this Air Force Security Forces and Titan Game Veteran to talk about his story. How he leaned on others when he needed to, but also listened to what he needed the most…even when others were skeptical.
Find out what Matt believes, not only kept him sane during his relentless fight against cancer, but was a big reason he is still here today.
Listen to the end to find out another odd he beat just over a year ago.
