MEET DOCTOR WHO ?
DOCTOR WHO? was quite a character. He liked to make a fashion statement with his ties. Notice his tie in this drawing. You may think the pattern on this tie is 100s of fried eggs. Wrong. This is a repeating pattern of stemcells printed on silk. Each day of the week Dr. Who had a different tie. On Monday his tie might be a pattern made of cream colored platelets on a navy back ground or Tuesday white blood cells on red. My favorite tie was his red blood cells on light yellow that always looked nice with his blue pinstripe shirt.
Guy was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2004. In 2007 it advanced into AML, a rapid Leukemia. He was given two weeks to live and sent to Metro City Cancer Center for a stem cell transplant. We were in the hospital ten months. Guy encouraged me to journal his battle with what I now call my Medical Satire Cartoons. I bummed a ball point pen and computer paper off of the nurses station and began to draw. Guy's story is factual, only the names have been changed to protect our privacy.

WARRIORS WITH WEAPONS
MEET OUR FELLOW WARRIORS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
There were chairs at the end of the hall next to the only window. This was the meeting place for those who were able to walk the halls. After a certain amount of chemo all the patients male and female began to look alike, at least for a while. The lady in the center has managed to declare her femininity.
