Gene editing saves girl dying from leukaemia in world first
On Monday I got the worst phone call of my life. My sister, who is in her 40s has been diagnosed with Leukemia. The variant she has is Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) which has a 5 year survival rate of only about 30%. She seemed healthy just a few days before diagnosis, she was just a bit tired and had low appetite. Then she noticed some abnormality in her vision and that's when she did a blood test and found extremely low hemoglobin count.<p>Shows how quickly your world can come crashing. Cancer is awful. Cancer and global warming are where most of the worlds research dollars should be going. This story brings hope for the future.
