I've already had two stem cell transplants. Very rarely does somebody have a third, so I have to maintain my strength so I can go through this.

Nobody knows how long they have left on Earth. There's no guarantees, and for me, when they tell you - not once, twice, three times - 'You've got a couple weeks to live,' or a couple months, you have to determine how you want to do that.

I have acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive type of cancer. The typical prognosis is 3-6 months to live, but I would like to stress that is for a patient who is not receiving treatment.
Craig Sager -
I don't know how much time I have left, and there are certain things I'd like to do. I've got five kids. Kacy, the oldest, I'd like to see her be happy and fulfilled with her dreams. I want Junior, who gave me the two transplants, I want him to find his niche; I know he's going to make a very big impact someday.
Craig Sager -
I've never had one of those middle of the nights when I go, 'Why me?' or 'I don't know if I can keep fighting like this.' No. Those thoughts don't even enter my mind.
Craig Sager -
Erik Spoelstra has always been a guy I'd talk to even when he was just doing video clips for the Heat.
Craig Sager -
I get this call and they go, you know, 'Do you want to do the finals?' and I go, 'Yeah, I guess, I've never, never done the finals.' Especially for somebody who's done as many thousands of games as I have, it kind of takes you one step further.
Craig Sager -
Everyone has to face obstacles. Everybody has to face hurdles. It's what you do with those that determines how successful you're going to be.

Sports are in my soul. That's what drives me.
Craig Sager -
I'm a kid from the small Illinois town of Batavia, who grew up on the Chicago Cubs and made sports his life's work, although there's never been a day where it actually seemed like work.
Craig Sager -
A dramatic turn has matched me with acute myeloid leukemia. From the sidelines to being sidelined, 40 veins and 40 electrolytes.
Craig Sager -
If I missed a game, that meant I was losing the battle. I'm not going to let leukemia affect me.
Craig Sager -
What is time, really? When you are diagnosed with a terminal disease like cancer or leukemia, your perception of time changes.
Craig Sager -
Krista's got a great boyfriend; they've been going together for years. I want to be around to walk her down the aisle.

I'm fighting cancer and I refuse to give up.
Craig Sager -
I'm grateful to HBO for telling my story, and I'd like to thank everyone for their ongoing support.
Craig Sager -
It seems everybody has been somehow affected by cancer, either through a relative or a close friend or somewhere, and they know how devastating cancer can be. And they see me, and I refuse to let it affect how I live and what I do.
Craig Sager -
When I was diagnosed with cancer, like so many other people, my life changed forever.
Craig Sager -
As a young boy, I had the usual hobbies - sports, baseball cards, model airplanes and trains. But I always had a distinct fascination with trains.
Craig Sager -
People come up to me and say somebody in their family has cancer, and we appreciate what you do, and we appreciate your fight, and don't give up, we love your attitude.
Craig Sager

I am not an expert on time, or on cancer, or on life itself.
Craig Sager -
When doctors tell you that your only hope for survival is 14 straight days of intense chemotherapy, 24 hours a day, you sit there, and you count down the 336 hours. You see, each day is a blessing.
Craig Sager -
When you raise kids, you want them to grow up and be successful. If they can grow up and be like you, it's quite flattering.
Craig Sager -
To those out there who are suffering from cancer, facing adversity, I want you to know that your will to live can make all the difference in the world.
