This series was an eye opener on so many levels. I was so glad to see it end on a positive note. The immuno-therapy being done by Dr. June for refractory leukemia was pretty amazing. I hope they start using this as first line therapy for children sooner than later. Not sure why they continue put them through the standard high dose chemo/BMT first when it's so destructive and comes with long term consequences. I know it takes them a long time to give up old therapies but this seems so promising and much less destructive. Below is very small article on Dr. June's therapy.
