...I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
It has been one year since I was first diagnosed with leukemia. Looking
back now, I have trouble remembering what life was like prior to cancer.
The battle against a disease like this is all consuming and has impacted me
deeply. I don’t know how I would have survived the physical and emotional
toll without the love and support of Kelly, Samantha, my family and all my
friends.
Today I am seven months post transplant and happy to report that I am
winning the battle and my recovery continues to go in the right direction.
Fatigue remains an issue and there still are some side effects from the
treatment and transplant that I am still dealing with. However the positives
far out way the negatives.
I am looking forward to getting on with life as a cancer survivor and finding
my new “normal” physically. The doctors say that one year after transplant
is a good measuring stick as to how well the transplant has worked and
what your “new normal” will be. So the work to get better and stronger
continues.
Thank you again to everyone for their support and positive thoughts. All the
best for a great 2012.
