My journey through Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia.
Or "How to Cure Psoriasis the Hard Way."
This is Pauline, Boone's wife. Every year on or near his birthday, he has his annual physical. His doctor told him that he had "Immature blood cells" and referred him to a hemotologist. To Boone's great surprise when he arrived for the appointment, the hemotologist was an oncologist. They drew blood and the Oncologist, Dr. K, wanted to know why I was not with him. Next visit he said, I better be there. A month later, we went to the appointment. Blood was drawn. Dr. K. said it could be a couple of things, and ordered a bone marrow biopsy. On the 3rd month, we heard the diagnosis of CMML.

My Dear husband of 36.5 years. I miss you. I will love you always. As you fly past Jupiter and Saturn, send me pictures.
I have not be able to open Boone's blog since his death, but now, after the passing of my spiritual big brother, Gary. I am ready to read Boone's blog again.
Please BE A MATCH if you can. SCT is a big part of the cure, Boone did not die with Cancer, but the cure is not a true cure -- yet.
Love you and miss you David Boone. I hope you find my friend Gary as his cancer took him from us Oct. 9th.
It's now coming up on the anniversary of the worst day of my life. Boone I miss you so much. I still love you with all my heart. There is not a day that passes that I don't miss you. I am so grateful for the years you gave me and all the things you taught me, and the music, especially the music. It gives me strength and hope. It makes me feel nearer to you. I don't know about life after death, but I think many times that I feel your hand on my back leading my way. I've loved you since the first time I saw your face. You were my rock, my soul, my heart, my life. My only regret that we had a mere 41 years to get to know each other. Not nearly long enough. I still love you. Rest in peace Mr. Boone. Rest in peace.
