Today I got blood work
In prep for my survivorship meeting tomorrow 
2024 marks ten years since I was diagnosed with leukemia
A disease that, when I was diagnosed, had a survival rate beyond 5 years of 25% 
And even though cancerversary isn't until July
And transplant-aversary isn't until October 
Today felt like a VICTORY LAP 
TEN YEARS!!! 
I'm a unicorn! 
After the labs I walked down town
And across town
All the way from 74th and FDR Drive
To 48th and 8th 
And I thought about the myriad of people who got me here
Aaron
The Rabinowii
All the Buck's Rockers 
Anita
Jodi
My fellow young adult survivors 
Dr Stein, Dr P, Kim, Marjorie, and every nurse 
Every clinician 
All the runners on Fred's Team
Everyone who came to cheer along the marathon route
All my friends and family from across the globe
Sydney, London, FoCo, New York
Every soul who has been part of this insane overwhelming exhausting journey 
And feel thankful thankful thankful 
And I think about the giant blue heart 
On the wall
