sraunIt is National Cancer Survivors Day.
I'm a six year survivor of Large Granular Lymphocyte Leukemia. This is in no way a surprise to my oncologist - he claims I have the common cold of the leukemia / cancer world. He says people die of something else, practically always unrelated. He's had people live forty years with this. Really, it impacts my life less than my Type II Diabetes - for the cancer, I take eight little pills once a week, and I'm done with it.
