I've known several doctors and medical professionals in my life who worked with terminal childhood leukemia patients. I always had great regard for the kindness and compassion of these people.
In talking to a married couple who are young doctors they gave me the astounding good news. Better than 75% of childhood leukemia patients are now successfully treated and never have a recurrence.
Nothing has changed about the slash and burn agony of chemo and radiation used to destroy the bone marrow white cell generators, it is the successful recovery of the marrow that has made the historic difference. Great.
