Govind Sandhu provides insight into his personal health.
The head of TikTok Australia’s Global Music Partnerships revealed he has been diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
“This wasn’t really part of my five-year plan,” Govind said in a recent Instagram video. “I thought I was in the best shape of my life, the healthiest I’ve ever been. A Crossfitter who runs ultramarathons and marathons, lives and breathes training, optimizing sleep and recovery, supplements, nutrition.”
The 38-year-old added that he had returned to Sydney in April after weeks of training in Bali for a marathon, and it was only the day after the half marathon in May that he started experiencing some symptoms, prompting him to visit a doctor the following day.
“I just got really bad flu-like symptoms,” Govind explained in another video. “Mainly really bad pain all over my body, and also in my neck all the way down to my shoulder. That night I had really bad sweats, which kept me waking up all night and being completely soaked.”
