_“The first step that you take (when diagnosed) is very important because it starts to lead you down a road that you can't start over again.” - Jamil Newirth _
In 2012, doctors told Jamil Newirth he had 17 months to live. The then 32-year-old law school graduate was diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumor, a rare and highly lethal form of brain cancer
11 years later, I sit down with Jamil Newirth, a Hawaiian bar-certified attorney, to discuss his journey and miraculous recovery. Jamil discusses his battle with cancer, his experimental clinical trial, passing the bar during chemo, paying it forward by supporting other cancer patients with hope and financial resources to cover their medical costs through his nonprofit charity UVSC, and so much more!
