## Resource

At 35, Keaton was an "average guy" — husband, dad to a two-year-old, into cooking and woodworking — until a routine ER visit found tumors on his liver. Now living with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, Keaton talks with Cody about what it took to get his doctors to listen, the loneliness of "cancer planet," and chasing a shot at a liver transplant — all while training to climb Mount Rainier for cancer research. Keaton is our first guest of Season 4. Be sure to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform to get all the upcoming episodes including Cody's reflections between guests.
