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.

In the Spring, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, a blood cancer that now in 2024 has excellent survival rates if your body can accept the oral chemotherapy designed to target the disease. This is my two-month treatment progress report.

Amy Morrissey was a long-time favorite bartender at a local restaurant. She was also a loving and caring mother and grandmother. In December 2015 she was diagnosed with Leukemia and recently succumbed to her illness. Now, her family is in need of help.

Amy Morrissey is a mother of four and grandmother of one. She lives in Marcy and is facing the battle of her life. Marcy may be where she calls home, but right now she is living in a hospital where she will stay for 6 weeks. During that time she will undergo chemotherapy treatments. What she thought was the flu turned out to be Leukemia.

It's not just any girl who threw out the first pitch.

The tears that will be shed at an upcoming wedding will not only be ones of joy.

Regardless of your politics, you have to admit this is a class move by former President George H.W. Bush.
