Can some one please give me some indication of life expectancy with this disease. Is it blood cancer? The doctor seems to sugar coat things and want the truth. i want some idea of how long i have left so i can live it up and spend money instead of investing for future. Any imput would be most welcome. safiya Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
