I saw the UT writeup about your Leukemia research. I just thought I'd briefly mention my recent experience with Leukemia and a rare but possible tie with another diesease. My husband died in January 2004 of BAL, after only 13 days diagnosis. I later learned there may be some connection with Leukemia and a rare disease he had, called Castleman Disease. Since Castleman is rather rare, it apparently is not well researched so there may not be a lot of information in this regard. And I know almost nothing other than this experience. I thought to bring this to your attention just in case somehow this may be helpful in your research. If you do know anything about this connection, of course I would love to learn more about it. I know you're terribly busy with no time to spare, so I don't expect to hear from you... unless maybe you do have some information regarding the Castleman connection? My very best wishes to you with this extremely important research. Chris Humbert Dr. Dong, I am a UT staff employee at the College of Business. I saw the UT writeup about your Leukemia research.
