Last year, I had to look at this list several times, questioning whether I was truly living up to my values. Ultimately, I realized the answer was no.

As a result of the treatments and the transplant, my immune system was impaired. You can think of my immune system as a 4-year-old who brings home all kinds of viruses from preschool. It takes a while to build up that resistance again, but my immune system is getting stronger every day. However, I am still having regular check-ups (blood tests) at the hematology department in Sweden, which has been a challenge to keep up with the Skid Row schedule,” Erik wrote on his Instagram profile.
