You Give Me

| No Comments

My fevers are persistent. They do not go away. I'm sure that there are any number of conversations that take place between Dr. Collins and my parents, details that aren't exactly hidden from me, but that are filtered down, summarized, presented to me on a need-to-know basis. The ampho is probably working. I mean, it has to be working, even though the fevers haven't stopped.

Maybe they were multi-source fevers, and the fungal infection part of them have stopped. Or maybe we're thinking that the fevers aren't from any kind of ampho-defeating infection after all, but that regardless of whether or not I've got a fungal infection now, it's likely that I'll have one in the future, so we'll keep it up, just in case.

Meanwhile, we're still searching. There's nothing obvious, nothing external, so I make several visits to the radiology department. My doctors want to take a peek inside. Just a peek. There must be something amiss, and hopefully the x-rays will help solve the mystery.

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).
