The results of the blood test are not good

| No Comments

The results of the blood test are not good. They tell me that they need to do some additional testing. They tell me that they have called a specialist, an oncologist, who knows more about things in the blood.

"There's something in my blood?" I ask.

That's what we are not sure of, they say. That's what the oncologist will tell us, Dr. Gorst. Your blood is bad. It has gone bad but we don't now how. He will tell us if it is in your blood making your blood go bad, or if it is your bone marrow doing the same. We aren't sure just yet.

A Few Notes

rkb in 1990
2010 marks my twentieth year in remission from AML. To celebrate, I will be training for and running two marathons with Team in Training: Twin Cities on October 3rd, and Dublin, Ireland on October 25th.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (or through the site archives).

But now I will also be writing about my training and fundraising goals, progress, as well as other thoughts, feelings, and experiences along the way for this milestone anniversary.
