Explain It To Me Like I'm 80
Testimonial from My Father, Age 80
"I thought my cancer had taken a turn for the worse — fast. In one week, I felt weaker, I was bleeding, and I feared the worst. I was ready to give up. But my daughter sat with me and used something I never expected — a computer assistant called ChatGPT. Together, we looked at my symptoms, my medications, and my past test results."
"We figured out something important: my PSA numbers were actually improving because of my hormone treatment — the medicine was working. But something else was wrong. With her help, we realized the real issue. That’s what caused the infection, not the cancer spreading overnight."
"When I finally went to the doctor, he confirmed what we had already figured out together. That moment gave me peace — and it gave me hope. I told my daughter: 'You need to build something for people like me. People who are 80 and scared, but don’t know where to start.'"
"So she built this — a website and service that helps explain health, scams, and tech using friendly language and tools like AI. I’m proud of her. And I hope this helps more people like me feel less afraid, more informed, and never alone."
