In reply to the discussion: Blood Cancer has struck... [View all]Grim Chieftain
(1,453 posts)10. I am so very sorry, Layzeebeaver
That's a tough diagnosis. If it is any comfort, one of my dear friends, who was also my major professor at grad school, was diagnosed with leukemia in his thirties and lived until his late seventies. He played tennis and golf for many years and lived a full, active life.
My husband's friend, also a professor, was diagnosed with lymphoma and lived into his late seventies.
There is hope. Please know you are in my thoughts and I am sending you and your wife positive vibes and good wishes.
