It's hard to believe that I've now reached the 6-month point of my treatment for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) at Roswell Cancer Center in Buffalo. My family doctor here in Utica caught the abnormality during normal blood work back in May of last year. My white blood count was elevated and the disease was officially diagnosed by Dr. Samir Desai at the Utica Cancer Center a few weeks later.

I'd like to take a moment to clear up the latest details regarding my recent cancer diagnosis. In June, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and on July 5th, I started oral chemotherapy pills as part of a trial at Roswell Cancer Center in Buffalo.

About 3,000 people over 55 are diagnosed with Chronic Myeloma Leukemia every year. As a result, it's not the type of cancer that most people are familiar with. None the less, I plan to give an update on my progress every few weeks in hopes that it, at the very least, inspires people to get their regular physical, and take advantage of early screening for cancer.

When my doctor told me I had colon cancer back in 2018, it was devastating to hear. After surgery, we learned it was early stage cancer, and I wouldn't need radiation or chemotherapy. I had beaten the disease. Now, getting a cancer diagnosis a second time six years later seemed just as bad, if not worse.
