Thanks for posting this article. It means that someone is looking at the risk of leukemia induced by chemotherpy. But, I am nowhere near 64 - 104 (although I do aspire to be...). I was 36 when first diagnosed with breast cancer and 42 when diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. No one ever told me this was a possibility, but i read about it somewhere. I was not totally surprised by my diagnosis. I had asked my onc one time if leukemia was a possibility for my future...I was told it's so rare, don't even think about it...Yet, I can't win the lottory.
