2016 Chemo Round 4

By Steve | Published: October 12, 2016
I’m going to keep this update short and sweet because quite honestly, that’s how this round of treatment felt. Short, and sweet. Monday started with a checkup with my doc which went really well.

LLS, TNT, & SSB

By Steve | Published: July 28, 2016
I feel like this recent relapse and treatment has further strengthened my relationship with Team in Training and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
