BALTIMORE, md. â A 12-year leukemia and bone marrow transplant survivor is spending July biking down the east coast to help raise awareness and money for Be the Match, the registry that helped find him a donor. I was diagnosed with no symptoms so one day I was fine, the next. three days later, Iâm in the hospital getting in patient chemo. Itâs quite a shock to the system, said Bob Falkenberg.
He added, it took a lot of hard work and I think a lot of times you come out of treatment, and you feel terrible. Your muscles are wasted away from all the chemo, and you just feel awful. And a lot of times advice is taking it easy. Well, if you just take it easy. Youâre never going to get any better. I worked really hard at it and Iâm really glad that I did.
