While many believe that being diagnosed with leukemia is like being
handed a death sentence, South Dakota native Louis George Whitehead
provides living proof that survival of this life-threatening and
life-changing illness is possible.
At age twenty-one, Whitehead's doctor informs him that he is
suffering from acute myeloid leukemia. After two rounds of
chemotherapy and a relapse a few months later, Whitehead makes the
decision to undergo a bone-marrow transplant. "Living through
Leukemia" chronicles his story of endurance and optimism.
Whitehead shares his feelings following his initial diagnosis
and through the realization that a fatal outcome was possible. He
also details the events and symptoms leading up to his courageous
battle and describes the importance of both his friends and family
in the struggle to get well and stay that way.
If you or someone close to you is living with leukemia or is
facing the prospect of a bone-marrow transplant, Whitehead's
personal reflections will serve as encouragement on how to approach
each day with a leveled patience and look ahead to a more hopeful
time.
