Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is finally breaking his silence about having leukemia since being diagnosed about a year ago.  The 62 year old has to now take daily medications orally and see a specialist once a month.  Abdul-Jabbar says:

“I’m telling my story to encourage fellow patients to take charge of their health.  Work closely with your doctor, monitor your disease and, above all, take your medicine. Having lost one of my closest friends to a different, highly aggressive form of leukemia, I knew how serious my diagnosis was.  My own life expectancy became a question mark.”

We Had No Idea……
