I still remember the look on the team doctor's face when he announced that I had Multiple Myeloma, a deadly cancer that had claimed the life of my sister only four years prior. Up to that point I had been pretty lucky in that I had always been reasonably healthy. Now it looked like I would have to give... >Read More
