Virginia located Sidney RazSidney Raskind’s real name, revealed through March 30 Instagram Video that after his wife, KelseyHaving lost their unborn child in 26 weeks last September, the couple had genetic tests.
“We lost the baby to Holoprosencephaly,” explained Raz, referring to a rare birth defect that occurs when “baby brain usually separates into two parts,” per Institute of Child Neurology.
He continued, “She was found (his daughter) eliminated… so we did genetic tests on me and that elimination did not get that erasure but I had that elimination. And because of that elimination, in recent years, it was found that it was causing some types of cancer, specifically stomach cancer.
In the week that followed his announcement, Raz continued to share several life hacks, spanning cold water used as an easy way to get rid of gloves to a new method to crack eggs, however, he later shared an update on his diagnosis last weekend.
In Saturday, April 5, Instagram Video, Raz revealed that he showed no symptoms before his diagnosis. “That’s not how it all played out,” he explained. “There were no symptoms, I had no symptoms. Literally, only my daughter’s DNA saved my life. And now there can be a path forward.”
He also offered advice to viewers who feel enforcement to embark on their own DNA investigations. “Ask (a genetic expert) to make a full panel of CDH1 and then look for CTNNA,” Raz recommended. “That’s both at the moment we know that leads to this kind of dispersed gastric cancer. I hope that helps.”
In Instagram Divided after a day later, Raz revealed that he was in the “audit period” where health experts decided what stage of cancer he is suffering from. He detailed a plan for further blood and stomach tests to determine whether he would need chemotherapy or have his stomach removed.
