Surviving the Cure, Choosing to Live
by Andrew Bundy
I guess you could say I was lucky – leukemia wasn’t too bad for me. I mean, sure, at the time, it was horrible, the worst thing I thought anyone could go through. But four rounds of chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and six months later, I was in remission and already thinking about joining my high school friends in college, although I’d be a freshman, and they’d be sophomores.
I thought once I’d kicked cancer, I’d have my old life back, with a couple bumps and bruises. I didn’t have any reason to think differently. From the start, just about everyone told me cancer was the biggest hurdle to overcome and gave examples of celebrities who beat cancer, dusted themselves off, and went on with life as normal. So, when I beat cancer, I expected the same.
