Chasing My Cure

More about the book

A former Georgetown quarterback, Fajgenbaum was also a force in medical school. But things changed dramatically when he began suffering from inexplicable fatigue. In a matter of weeks, his organs were failing and he was read his last rites. Miraculously, Fajgenbaum survived, but only to endure repeated near-death relapses from what would eventually be identified as a form of Castleman disease.
