So why do I feel so confident? I joined LLR in 1999.• This is my cousin Rob, in 1999  he was given a 75% 

chance of survival, he didn’t make it but today he would have a 95% chance of survival.

• 15 years ago if you had Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia, you needed a transplant , like Geoff, today you are given a drug every day and can expect normal life expectancy• 15 years ago if you had myeloma, there were pretty much no treatments, now we can prolong life and the quality of life between episodes even though it’s not curable.

I could go on…

“ Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is a tidal wave of warmth that engulfs you, just as you are feeling most alone”

Life is a gift to be used wisely and lived fiercely
