If I missed a game, that meant I was losing the battle. I'm not going to let leukemia affect me.

What is time, really? When you are diagnosed with a terminal disease like cancer or leukemia, your perception of time changes.

I have acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive type of cancer. The typical prognosis is 3-6 months to live, but I would like to stress that is for a patient who is not receiving treatment.

It seems everybody has been somehow affected by cancer, either through a relative or a close friend or somewhere, and they know how devastating cancer can be. And they see me, and I refuse to let it affect how I live and what I do.

Everyone has to face obstacles. Everybody has to face hurdles. It's what you do with those that determines how successful you're going to be.

I hate losing, But I'm pleased with where we're going.
