March 2012 I was diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma. Quite a shock especially since I felt fine in January. Middle of February I was under the weather and thought I had a virus. I’ve been told that’s the way it usually starts for many people. Eventually blood tests showed my blood cells were really screwed up, to say the least!
It’s been a long trip and I’m happy to say I’m coming back!
So that’s the reason there have been no new podcasts in quite a while! Pretty good excuse eh?
I’d like to thank all the doctors, nurses and staff who helped me get through it at Northside Hospital, Atlanta, GA.
Also would like to thank a few folks very close to me:
* My wife Marita. She was an angel, taking care of me and keeping the house going through the last year. Couldn’t have made it through without her.
* My son Justin Kahler. He volunteered to be tested before knowing anything about what was entailed of a donor.
* My good bud James Casto. He was the friend who was constantly there – phone calls nearly every single day, hospital visits, rides. He also helped my friends the Gillans organize a benefit which was an incredible help.
