Yes Marty I've always wondered why I got leukemia. I am the youngest of 11 children and no cancer in family except lung cancer and 1 breast cancer in my older sister. I didn't even know much about leukemia when I was dx. Even with fighting cml for 12 years I have had a full rich life. I got to go to the mountains with my daughters and granddaughter. We stayed in a beautiful cabin high in the mountains. We toured the Great Smoky Mountains and they are beautiful. I am now spending a week with my daughters and we are enjoying our visit. Yes we are born and then we die but sickness teaches us to live each day as it comes love each other with the time God gives us. Blessings to all ❤️❤️
