“I decided to publish it in the hope that more bone marrow donors would be available.”
Former Softbank Tadashi Settsu announced on the 23rd that he was diagnosed with “chronic myelogenous leukemia” on his Instagram. “I decided to publish it with the hope that if it helps people who understand the disease called leukemia and who are suffering from similar diseases, the number of bone marrow donors required for treatment will increase depending on the type of leukemia. I made it clear in my chest that I decided to announce.
Mr. Settsu joined Softbank in the 5th place in the draft in 2008. He has pitched in 70 games for the second consecutive year since joining the team, and won the title of the best relay. When he turned to the starting lineup in 2011, he marked a double-digit victory for the fifth consecutive year and reigned as Softbank’s ace. After retiring from active duty in 2018, he has been active as a commentator and having his own “fishing program” at a local station in Fukuoka.
“I was diagnosed with[chronic myelogenous leukemia]at the beginning of the year,” Settsu reported on his Instagram. “I was surprised that I had leukemia … I was surprised and strongly decided to cure it. Fortunately, I was told that it would be okay if I took medicine, so I could exercise, work, and eat as usual. It’s good, “he said, stating his determination for treatment.
In addition, Mr. Settsu wrote, “The doctor told me that there is no way to prevent it because it is caused by a gene mutation.” I hope that “knowledge of correct illness, understanding of bone marrow bank, and registration of donors will increase as much as possible” and “I will continue to do my best to work and play, so I will ask for work, golf & We are waiting for your invitation to fish! “
