Serghei Tvetcov is living with Leukemia. He was diagnosed with cancer in September 2022. He was racing with his Wildlife Generation Pro Cycling Team in the Tour of Romania when he got the results. He says he knew something wasn't right. Tvetcov simply couldn't put out the numbers he was used to doing. So he went and got tested. The test revealed he was living with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. He says the result were a kick in the head. For treatment he takes chemo directed pills twice a day. Every three months he has a genetic test that shows him his response to the meds. He says it's a cancer that's not curable rather it's something he'll live with for the rest of his life.

Tvetcov says he plans to race in 2024. His plans include racing gravel and spreading a message of survival. He wants folks who have the same disease to know you can live and thrive while living with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Also in this episode we also touch on his start in cycling, coming to America, racing in Italy, and France. And racing for the famous Gianni Savio.
