Philip, a retired army physician from San Antonio, TX, was feeling ill after returning home from a trip to Mexico back in September 2010. He said, “I knew by the look on the young doctors’ faces it was bad. They said I had acute myeloid leukemia and my white blood cell count was over 10,000.” He was moved to Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base and had a cardiac incident that night. With overwhelming fear, Philip thought he was not going to make it, but with family by his side, Philip began his long road of treatment and recovery.
