I was diagnosed with Stage Three Leukemia at age 52. I did Chemo, was in remission for a little over two years, then back to Chemo. My numbers are slipping again after four years, so we’ll see.

Thanks, my Wife mentioned those trials. I have Chronic Leukemia, and that the first group they tried it out on.

A second trial is even working for people with Acute Leukemia, something they thought would be impossible.

Right now I’m half way to the “estimated” expiration date I was given when Diagnosed. My Oncologist used the phrase, “with today’s treatment options”, and that was over seven years ago.

You never know, I might end up getting hit by an Asteroid that NASA missed. My Heirs can blame my death on the Sequester and sue the Government.
