Vanity. I have received the best Christmas present ever.

Posted on 12/17/2012 3:19:12 PM PST by saminfl

Last March 23, my wife of 54 years was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with a positive Philadelphia chromosome. She spent several weeks in the hospital, underwent chemotherapy with all it's problems, and still maintained a positive attitude. She had prayers from all over the country, including from you all on FreeRepublic.

On November 27, we went to the University of Alabama Birmingham medical center to begin a clinical trial on a new drug that had only been tested on rats and monkeys. She was required to have at least ten percent leukemia cells in her bone marrow to qualify for this trial.

They did a bone marrow biopsy and gave us the results on Thursday. She had zero percent and when they tested for the Philadelphia chromsome cells, they found none. The doctor said she had never seen this before.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and to tell you that God is there for you and answers your prayers.

I am so happy for you and your wife. Enjoy your Christmas together.

I lost my sister to this disease last year. It’s good to see someone beat it.
