Still too risky for me.
Are these people dying or are they catching it in time?

Sally,
I'm not a statistician but read that the risk of PML goes up a large degree for people who have had more than 24 infusions...about 1/640. Not sure what these additional cases would do to that number but you know it would increase the potential a lot.
Don't know if these people are dying but did read something a month ago that even if you don't die from PML, the residual effects in most cases leave the patient in poor shape.
And isn't it sad that we always seem to hear this information from the business world and not from medical resources.
