Believe it or not Jimmy is mentioned in this article...
THURSDAY, Sept. 23 (HealthDay News) -- It was August 2004, and 24-year-old Ray Johnston was living his boyhood dream.
He'd just been plucked from his life as a mortgage broker and plunked down on the courts of the National Basketball Association's Dallas Mavericks' summer training camp after catching a talent scout's eye at a local tournament.
But a small on-court collision with another player led to what Johnston thought would be a routine surgery. Following the surgery, the bleeding wouldn't stop, however.
The next thing Johnston knew, people were discussing George W. Bush's re-election victory and the Boston Red Sox' first World Series win in 86 years.
Johnston had been in a coma for more than two months.
Time wasn't all that he'd lost. When he awoke, he also found out he'd been diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, a rare form of blood cancer that strikes about 1,500 people a year, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
