| Description: | Thoughts from a tennis player and runner who ran right into leukemia, this blog is about falling down and getting up, coping and coming back. I was diagnosed and treated for leukemia (AML) in 2003, after feeling winded while running a 10-K road race. Treated and transplanted, I got back to running, tennis and biking. Relapsed summer 2007. In remission after chemotherapy and two more bone marrow transplants, I share thoughts about how to keep on moving and how to deal with the anxiety of it all. |
