Cindy, how are you? What is your status? My CLL has been in remission for 26 months. But my oncologist has told me, "It's going to come back." Of course, he's right. It's only a question of when. And as I suspected, he confirmed to me that it's much-harder the second time achieving a remission. Oh well! I'd like to find out what present trials Mayo is doing. I wonder, do certain things "hold back" research progress? I think you can guess what type of things would hold back medical research. At times, I think that the most "original" medical research might be done in a country like China, although that's a bad thing to have to say. How much do religious beliefs and laws hold back medical research? Or, maybe they should hold back medical research.
