Dear Jan
My grandson 22 years old was diagnosed with All T-Cell Precursor
Feb. 17, 2005, they tried to put in remission but it failed as it
was refactory so they did a bone marrow transplant on him April 26th,
they still are only giving him a 10 to 15% at the most 20% cahnce
that he will go into remission, but then there was only a 25% chance
that his brother was a match for his bone marrow transplant and he
was, so I believe God is going to put his young man into remission
and I believe the same thing for your son. Take care and God bless.
