Troy Blakely

Cancer Survivor: Troy Blakely, Talent Agent, Age at diagnosis, 44

Squamous cell carcinoma, 1994,

 

When I was diagnosed, everyone said to me, “You’re the healthiest person I know. You run marathons and eat brown rice all the time.” How can you get cancer? They didn’t know the other side of me, the stress side. I was in a place in my life where I was very unhappy and stressed out, a lifestyle conducive to giving cancer the chance to take root.

It took facing death to learn to live.
