Donna Webb remembers nearly the exact words she asked the doctor at Johns Hopkins Medical Center three summers ago.

Is this going to prolong Andrew�s life or make him better?

Her 15-year-old son had chronic myelogenous leukemia. A bone marrow transplant cleared his body of cancer, but a complication developed.

A machine had been helping the Red Lion Area Senior High School student breathe, but his body was doing the work as it received purer oxygen, Donna Webb said.

As Andrew grew weaker, doctors told his family they could hook him to a respirator that would take over his breathing.

�The inevitable was going to happen, it just wasn�t going to happen as fast,� Donna Webb said.
