What started as a personal journey of a doctor turned patient morphed into a way to share what’s universal in dealing with cancer, in my case a nasty leukemia (CLL), a failed transplant and a successful clinical trial. The telling of my journey has become a journey to teach about CLL, related blood issues and all cancers. Please visit our new website http://cllsociety.org for the latest news and information.

Dear Dr. K,
It was so good to see you on Wednesday. It is so much easier to judge how someone is really doing in person. You look great and truly are ready for your big adventure.
Having only had a handful of the tests that you have had (and none of them being painful) I can only imagine everything you have been through and will go through. Please know that you are in our prayers daily. For a quick and speedy recovery and that you will be able to return to DB much sooner than mid 2009.
May God give you the peace and understanding that you need during your journey.
Looking forward to your next posts.
