Gave up smoking 25 years ago. Diagnosed with incurable blood cancer 5 years ago. After two stem cell (bone marrow) transplants, three years of chemotherapy, and a year of immunotherapy, I’ve been told I’m in full remission — no evidence of disease — and I’m not expected to relapse.
Look after yourself while you’re young and fit and still have a chance to keep healthy.
Whoa. Full remission cancer survivor high five.
