After feeling bad for several days and not getting better even with 3 visits to the doctor, I was admitted to the hospital. My white blood count was very high and I have now been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
Chemo has begun and I expect to be in the hospital for another 3 weeks. The doctors are pleased with the progress and the prognosis is positive. Round 1 of chemo ends this weekend and the next steps willl be determined over the next couple of weeks.
I am not yet ready for visitors and will be slow to respond to emails and text.
I won’t be teaching this semester. The Spring semester is still uncertain.
Appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers. This will be a long journey.
