I know little about this disease but it is suspected that my dad's mother possibly passed from the same thing. That puts me next in line.
Some mentioned treatments were chemo, and stem cell transplant.
He's certainly had better news. 
He'll be 82 on August 10th. He's my own personal Superman. 
I'm hoping and praying for the best outcome. |
Beautiful thoughts for your dad. He and I share the same birthday, and I'm confident he's a better electrician than I am.
