What did they think you had? My blood tests indicated leukemia, and I
was fucking worried. I had just watched my dad die of that and then,
about a month after he died I went for a routine physical and they found
something about my blood profile that suggested the same thing. There
are no words to describe what goes through your mind at that point.
