Actually I have heard of Gene Therapy and it's a great discovery amongst all the other things that have been discovered.

The problem with Gene Therapy is they don't know a whole lot about it like they could if they hold of a few more years and do more studies. It's great knowing that you can take flawless DNA and provide a patient with a healthy gene to "cure" CML but what isn't focused on is supplying a patient with a gene the person never really had in a good condition before, thus "curing" that patient but you don't know of any other genes that need to be repaired other than the LM02. After time people have had the return of Leukemia before. Professionals haven't yet figured out what all gene's need to be supplied to wipe out the cancer for sure.

You can't just assume to toy with one gene and expect everything to be fine. It's like messing with an motor, you touch one thing you have to adjust something else to get it just right and who knows how many things you have to adjust to get it perfect. You take two of the same motors and I assure you one will always need more adjusting than the other. Because even though everything is the same, they're still not alike when it comes to technicalities.

I'm pretty sure that's why they put CURED in quotation marks in the title because they're not definite with the fact. It's basically a presumption.

I'd love to go for gene therapy but it's scary to me to not know so much about it, even the professionals. I rather not take the risk in developing something else or any possibility. It's dirty expensive and health insurance isn't always the best solution to situations like this. I'm gonna try Immunotherapy and see how things go from there. I'm sure they'll have me do radiation at some point. We'll see.

But thanks for pointing that out to me... I will keep my eye open more often about Gene Therapy and talk to my doctor about it to see what he has to say about it all.
