Philadelphia Chromosome

So not only am I the lottery winner at getting ALL (only 1280 cases in the US in 2010) but I also have the philadelphia chromosome which is a bonding of the 9 and 22 chromosome (only 20% of ALL patients have this) Think of the odds. I think my chances of the winning the lottery were better than this. I guess if I am going to do, I am going to do it right.

The addition of this problem confirms that I need a transplant.  It also bring another joy. I found out the drug to treat it costs $8000.00/mo. Oh JOY! Yes I have insurance, but this is a trial drug and they haven't confirmed they are going to cover it yet.
