Great Article on a Potential Cancer Cure

Quite a number of people sent me links to various news stories on an amazing new treatment for cancer that was tested on three leukemia patients ... successfully!

The three patients were chronic leukemia patients, which is a significantly different disease than the acute leukemia I have, but the articles cover a therapy that is nonetheless extremely important for not only leukemias in general, but cancers in general.

Today another person sent me a link to an article about this treatment, which involves using the HIV virus (yes, the one that causes AIDS) to transport genes into T-cells, transforming those T-cells into cancer killers. This particular article is well-written and easy to read, very interesting, so I'm passing it on to you:

  1. Hey Shammah,
    That article about the cancer cure was awesome and worth the reading for all. I am very grateful that Mr. Ludwig was given more LIFE to live and bravo to all the doctors and scientist that continue to study and experiment with this kind of research.
    Thank you for sharing it with us.
