I’ve been through Chemo four times in the last 13 years to treat my Chronic Leukemia (CLL).

The last time I finished Chemo my Immune System weakened and I ended up with Pneumonia, four other Lung Infections and a Mass in my Left Lung. I was given five different Antibiotics over three Months that did nothing.

I ended up receiving Plasma Infusion Therapy. It was pretty much a last resort at the time and it did the trick.

I’ve been in Remission for two Years now.

I hope it stays that way! My wife has gone through most of her endocrine therapy for stage four breast cancer and has only two small areas of activity, one in her liver and one in her humerus. She's been under endocrine therapy for three years now, and I dread her going on chemo. They tried her on one immunosuppressive drug earlier this year and she ended up with a host of bad effects, including pneumonitis that left her hospitalized for several weeks. They took her off it, put her back on the endocrine treatment, and now she's doing remarkably well. You'd never guess she has cancer to look at her.
