There has been much progress made in the detection and treatment of diseases....cancer being one of them...look at all the research at St. Jude's Children's Hospital...years ago a large majority of the children with leukemia and other childhood cancers died...had it not been for the medical advances at St. Jude's a large number of children would also have died during our lifetime....but they are now being put into long remissions and even cures. The bone marrow transplant has been a miracle and a lifesaver! :up:
