I'm sorry to hear that you are not well. :( I'm afraid I don't knoe much 
about Leukemia in general, much less the specific kinds. One of my 
cousins has had some sort of Leukemia twice, but I am told it was caused 
by having been exposed to Agent Orange in the military and a bone marrow 
transplant cured him...twice...maybe. Leukemia is definitely a word to 
get your attention.

Yes, I can understand that. Some days I can do stuff and some days I 
can't. I am told I have CFS and Fybromyalgia. I got it after GMOs became 
prevalent in store food and after some surgery to prevent cancer 
(cervical). I blame food for a lot of my issues, but the only way to be 
absolutely sure that food is the issue is to make sure I consume only 
non-GMO food, and pretty much the only way to do that is to grow your 
own and never eat out. Not exactly feasible all the time. Heck, we buy 
meat, I'm not sure I don't have issues from there...but I figure the 
more GMOs I can positively exclude, the better off I'll be.

Good Luck!
