Steve Buechler

Steve Buechler had a 31-year career as a professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he taught sociology and published on women’s movements, critical sociology, and social movement theory. On the eve of his retirement, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. He was successfully treated with chemotherapy, radiation, and a double cord blood stem cell transplant. Throughout his treatment, he documented his journey and his reflections in over 60 reports to family, friends, and colleagues. With the addition of a preface on lessons learned and an epilogue on identity transformations, this became his book titled How Steve Became Ralph: A Cancer/Stem Cell Odyssey — a realistic but hopeful account of surviving a life-threatening disease, leavened with droll humor.
