I read an article today, about some researchers who have had promising results by using HIV and genetically modified white blood cells to destroy cancer blasts. This is in treating Chronic Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CLL)…B had Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), but I could hope that at some point, this would work for all leuks.

And then I got angry.  Why now, 3 weeks later? Why not last year?  Or why didn’t his body fight it harder, to give him a little bit longer? To at least see Eoin start school?

No one has answers to these, which makes it all so much harder.
