In a 5-minute TikTok, Gonzalez told his fans — who are more accustomed to seeing father-son antics from the page — that he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer late last year.

“I kept it to myself, and I [feel] like it was selfish because I didn’t want to tell everybody my business ’cause it was personal,” he revealed.

Gonzalez also mentioned that doctors estimated he had “2-3 years to live,” though chemotherapy could extend his life expectancy by another couple of years. Resultingly, he’s making it a mission to use his story to help educate others on the importance of getting colonoscopies to screen for colon cancer.

“I feel like I can use my situation to give awareness for young men like myself,” he said. “I’m only 34, and they said it’s very rare for a young guy like myself to [develop] colon cancer. So, I wanna do awareness.”
