I just remembered a thought I had when I was a little girl. I think I was in the fourth or fifth grade, and both of my grandfathers had already died from different cancers. My aunt was battling cancer, as well.
I remember noticing one day that both my grandfathers had blue eyes. My aunt also had blue eyes. I had blue eyes. No one else in our family had blue eyes...that I could think of. I remember really investigating this, I think it was a holiday dinner at grandmas, where everyone, all my cousins and aunts and uncles were. I remember looking at everyone. Checking out their eyes.
It sounds funny, but I was serious. I can't believe I forgot all about this. I was convinced there was a link between cancer and blue eyes. I also was convinced I was going to get cancer, because it ran in my family (those who had blue eyes).
After going in to urgent care on Feb 2, 2013 for what I thought was the flu, I was told I might have leukemia and was transported to a hospital in Chicago. I spent almost 5 weeks being treated for APL (Acute promyelocytic Leukemia). Now I'm on the road to recovery. Cancer can come without warning and it stops your life in its tracks.
