I cannot speak specifically for Leukemia, but I can say that the best place in the world for any "difficult" or rare cancer is MD Anderson in Houston.

Either self apply, or get the doctors you are working with to apply.

I had a very rare (approximately 1 in 2-3 million) sacral chordoma requiring the removal of my entire sacrum and the rebuild of my pelvic ring. Without it, it would have been fatal.

I was at MD Anderson for 3 months and 3 very radical and long surgeries...38 hours of surgery altogether over a couple of week time span.

I then had three months of very intensive rehab. My last surgery was 18 months ago and I am slowly improving and have now lived to see two more grandchildren born (we have altogether now).

You can read my entire journal HERE - My online Journal or read the entire, long (months long and thousands of replies on FR) at the links provided in that journa).

God bless you, your brother, your sister-in-law and all of your family and friends. We will offer our faith and prayers for you. The good Lord knows all of our travails and troubles and His will is in it to the betterment of us all and the spreading of His Son's atonement.

Each day is a gift.

Please contact those folks as soon as you can. it is a very busy and hectic place...but they accomplish miracles.

Again, our prayer and faith are with you...God's speed and blessings of health, comfort, courage and peace.

Exodus 15:26 ~ “For I AM the Lord that healeth thee ...”

Psalm 103:1-5 ~ “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.”

Thus saith the Lord ... Amen and Amen
