Paul Anthony is one of many "Cancer Champions" who has battled Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Paul Anthony explains how he found out that he has the disease. "I was in the gym training and my training partner saw a small lump in my neck. He thought it was unusual and suggested that I get checked out. I didn't feel anything, which is pretty normal with this disease. I went to the doctor and had a FNA (fine needle aspiration). During the biopsy procedure they removed fluid and tested it. The biopsy was conclusive and there still is no cure for this disease.
Shortly after diagnosis, Paul Anthony developed a plan of attack. He canvassed cancer treatment centers and interviewed several world renowned physicians before deciding to begin treatment with Dr. Paul A. Hamlin. Making the right choice was easy for Paul Anthony and the irony of him and his doctor sharing the same name came up it only served as confirmation of his decision.

Throughout the whole process he never stopped to question why he was faced with this challenge. When asked about his feelings on being diagnosed Paul Anthony said the following
"I never asked why me?! I was too preoccupied with finding a solution, finding an answer. I figured since cancer picked me I'd dance with it. My attitude was let's do this! I knew I had to dance with it in order to get control of it and conquer it because I've got a life to live!"
Paul Anthony decided to go public with his fight in order to raise awareness about the seriousness of the disease and also to encourage others, especially entertainers, to be more open about their predicaments in hopes that they could help and inspire others. Paul Anthony has had victory over the odds and is determined to educate cancer patients alike, how to overcome the same odds. Paul Anthony wants to spread the message that:
"The cancer survivor walks the earth, the Cancer Champion conquers the World!"
