Bob

Some of you readers may know my former roommate, Bob. Bob moved to Florida and ended up getting some very bad news shortly thereafter. He's been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Suffice it to say, that's not a good diagnosis to get. But it is moderately treatable. It's pretty much a crap shoot as to whether the treatment (chemo) will be effective, but Bob's always been a gambler (and he usually wins). He's in good spirits after his first round of chemo. We don't really know if the treatment is working yet. But we can hope. He's optimistic, so we should all be. And he can still laugh at his situation, which is a very good thing. It's much better than crying. I wish him the best.
