Very Good News

It looks as though there is now a cure for at least one category of leukemia--88% complete remission via gene therapy. With luck, the approach will prove workable for other forms of leukemia and eventually other cancers. Current cancer treatments are a brute force approach—we may finally be getting something better.

Having lost one friend to leukemia some years ago, another nearly fifty years ago, and three to other cancers, I see this as very good news.
