I hate cancer.” “I wasn’t gonna take any chances; the surgery was smooth and I’m extra grateful this Thanksgiving because I got the call this morning that my now-removed-half-of-thyroid was indeed full of some gnarly nodules that were very likely to become cancerous,” Alexis wrote. “The worst part tbh has been not being able to lift for 2 weeks but big fella will be back at it next week and I took my girls to Disney World this week so life is wonderful.

To my fellow, men — make those doctor’s appointments — especially if y’all are dads. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.” Alexis also shared two photos of his daughters Olympia, 7, and Adira, 1.
