Introduction
Except for the cancer, I was really in pretty good shape. If, that is, you didn't count the fatigue, labored breathing, bruising, swelling, and what might have been a canker sore. Minor irritants, nothing more.
But then the nurse introduced me to an ER bed, stabbing the back of my hand to drip a plastic bag of goop into my arm. The emergency room doctor launched into a lecture on the differences between lymphoma and leukemia. Listening to his perplexing speech - Why are we talking about this? - it dawned on me that I would probably not spend the night at home. And I didn't - neither that night, nor the next 82 days in a row.
This is just the introduction to the book Curt goes on to talk about his complete journey battling Leueimia and explains who this situation was hardest on. His wife.
The Kindle eBook version of "Alligator Wrestling in the Cancer Ward" is now available on Amazon.
