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

After running two marathons in October 2010 with Team in Training, I've decided to "slack off" with just the one marathon in 2011.

This year will be in memory of Siona Shah, an amazing young girl who spent the final third of her too-short life battling leukemia with courage, grace, humility, and smiles.

It will also be in memory of my step-grandmother, Ruth, who passed away on June 15th after a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

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 (starting with my initial diagnosis while I was studying in England).
