At the time, the only reliable treatment was a bone marrow transplant, which required that his entire blood and immune system be destroyed and replaced with that from a donor. Galvanek spent over a month in hospital and more than a year recuperating before returning to work.\u003cbr\u003e\nGalvanekÕs body accepted the transplant and he made a full recovery. But something in his life seemed incomplete.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe eventually set his sights on the Ironman triathlon, a feat of endurance that includes a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and full marathon. Galvanek successfully completed his first Ironman in 2008 to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of his bone marrow transplant. He has since competed in numerous triathlons and other endurance events, raising over $250,000 in support of blood cancer research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44378894500001,"sku":"perso1046","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1e8eq9g8-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1716862399","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ironmanos-guide-to-cancer-survival","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
