Reseña del libro "Leukaemia: Dispatches from the Front"

'I'm sorry you left hospital - I was enjoying reading your emails!' . . . at least 2 people commented, and I knew I was on to something bigger!Imagine entering a country you never opted to visit - and that during a war! This is how I experienced sudden arrival in hospital with a leukaemia diagnosis.Here are my email dispatches sent from the frontline with dry humour and honesty - but no sentiment. I start with the lead up to the action (performing the day before) and end with world travel.A noble hero? At times I felt more like the battleground itself! . . .'Stay calm, lie flat & drink plenty of water.' It was others who fought: the medics, those who visited, prayed etc. Personally in such circumstances I doubt a patient's aggressively positive attitude makes much difference to outcome: that may encourage some!I have survived 6 years down the line - but come with me when there was no certainty just a journey. The battle with AML, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, led to rounds of chemo, a stem cell transplant, graft-versus-host, remission and cure!After many dangers along the way, I reached and crossed that border.If you appreciate journey/survival stories - or else you or someone you care about is similarly enrolled for battle - come with me from 2014 to 2021 - it's safe!A whole 45 pictures bring the tale to life, none to worry about!
