Former Beacon sportswriter Roland Queen is in Room 707 at Akron City Hospital and would like to hear from his former co-workers. The phone number at the hospital is 330-375-4707.
Queen, 41 years old, was first diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer in 2000. His condition relapsed about four days ago and he was admitted to the hospital. He expects to go back on chemotherapy soon. Multiple myeloma cancer attacks the bone marrow. You can learn more about it on the internet. Search on "Multiple+myeloma+cancer" for a list of articles about it.

I visited Roland today.
He is weak but feisty, wants to go home but doesn't know when. They are trying to get his strength back so he can undergo further chemotherapy treatments.
He does not look good, but then that's pretty normal for folks battling cancer on the front lines.
I plan to get back down there in a couple of days. He enjoys visiting with folks but his trength is limited.
BTW ... Roland will be 60 on Nov. 21.
