As I sit here getting chemo for B-Cell ALL, most of us don’t have any other option, it’s chemo or death.

It can be preferable to having your body slowly town apart by its own immune system.

My own immune system is attacking my joints. Without treatment I'll be disabled within 10 years. What's your advice doc?
