A friend told me about this at the end of last year, I thought it was just a hoax but seeing it in writting does make it seem more real. Its a good step forward x

With a mortality rate of around 30% during the transplant according to the article, it seems a bit of a risk in itself.

It is but I'm sure that those living with the disease may consider it worthwhile.

Imagine your told you have HIV & prepare for your life to be overturned then someone tells you there's a cure but there are risks. I think many would choose to take the risk

I just hope I never have to make a decision like that. At the moment, I would say that the odds are too unfavourable to risk it. But as you say, if it's a choice between maybe dying on the table, or a certainty to pop off this mortal coil a few years down the line, then quite possibly my decision would be a bit more clear cut. :tinysmile_cry_t:
