"Howdy y'all," Nat posted on Instagram. "I ain't posted an update about my fight in a while. I been getting back to some aspect of rambling & some of y'all might think I'm through, or in remission. That's my fault or not clarifying what's been going on. My story is a long song, and I doubt it will ever end with ranging a bell."
Nat then continued by explaining his diagnosis, noting that it's intimal sarcoma.
"The main thing is in my pulmonary artery," Myers continued. "If that sounds stressful, it's cuz it is. I have undergone dozens of chemo infusions since I was first diagnosed in 2025, including red devil, ifosfamide, and until recently a combo called gem-tax. I received eleven cycles of gem-tax, before fluid buildup in my lungs last month led us to change things up."
Nat endured a terrible 2025. However, he does appear to be in good spirits.
Nat Myers Shared Some Promising News Regarding His Cancer
In the same Instagram post, Nat provided an update on his current fight, noting that the cancer has shrunk and is now considered stable.
"My cancer, which shrank significantly at first, is still shrinking, but only slightly, and is considered stable," he wrote. "My doctors seem confident based on my scans that this switch up will prolly work. But when and if it doesn't, there is a number of successive treatments they have in mind for me."
He continued by thanking his doctors for all their hard work and his improving condition.
"While I'm still on standard protocol, both the James & MSK have discovered new treatments that are in the pipeline once standard protocol runs course. A year ago, a lot of y'all were watching me just beginning to hope I could get one more year. A year on, I don't think you blame me that I want more than just that now. I feel rabid as a dog and bluer than a jay sometimes. It is a privilege beyond description to be here."
While Nat's progress has been fantastic, there's no guarantee he will ever make a full recovery, as he alluded to in the first paragraph of his post. Hopefully, he's wrong about that, and sooner or later he will, in fact, get to ring the bell.
Nevertheless, it's clear he's fighting and doing his best to continue enjoying life. Hopefully that continues for years to come.
