My Cancer Blog
Journalist  Leroy Sievers has logged a quarter century in the news business. He has reported from 14 war zones, accrued 12 national news Emmys, and executive-produced "Nightline." He stands 6'5" tall and has the towering personality to match. So when cancer took him on, it got one formidable foe. In Leroy's first post for his NPR-hosted blog, he declared that he was "going to fight like hell." In daily entries since then, the writer/blogger/cheesesteak-devourer has stayed true to his word. Energy, faith in the body, and the fogginess of "chemo brain" ebb and flow—but more than a year has passed and Leroy's still blogging. He just finished his 11th chemo cycle. He's looking forward to Thanksgiving. And he still feels, passionately, that no matter how scary or sad, "it's still life, and it's a life worth living." We're with you, Leroy.
