I just feel bad for the baby; it didn't get a chance to live.

At least the baby doesn't have to live a lifetime of spiritual confliction under a bunch of hollywierd handlers ready to troon him out.

The reason the "cure" isn't used is the only reason he is cured is that his treatment for leukemia involved killing off his existing bone marrow and replacing it, and it's the original leukemia that came back that killed him. It isn't used on purpose because you not only have to have your bone marrow replaced, you have to develop graft-versus-host disease, where the new cells actually go and attack your existing cells and kill them all, for it to work.

This isn't actually practical and is worse than being HIV+.

Jesus Christ ... that's goddamn rough. Guess it's a minor miracle he made it as far as he did, then.

He's had one for 15+ years now. It's amazing he's lived this long.

I am amazed most musicians with history of substance abuse can live past 40.

Lemmy (may he rest in peace) alledgedly could not have blood transfusions because the clean blood would have caused his body to go into shock and kill him. Amazing he lived to the age of 70 despite the fact he drank a bottle of jack a day and did tons of speed.
