I'm so sorry to hear this news. I hope it is manageable and I hope he tolerates the treatments. I will add another hope, too. I hope that while he is on the treatment, that someone comes up with a cure!

My FIL had leukemia (CML) and was kept stable for long period of time, but like your DH was told that it was only manageable and not curable. He was also told that despite the meds, he could get into a crisis where he would not survive. He did get into such a crisis and they had to give him really aggressive chemo just to save him, but just as he was coming off that, a new drug was approved by the FDA called Gleevac (sp??) which pretty much ended the leukemia for him.

If he hadn't also had prostate cancer which spread, I'm sure he would still be alive taking his magic pill. When he was dx'd with the prostate cancer, they told him he would die from the leukemia before the prostate cancer got him. He lived with both for probably 8 years. Just goes to show that even the docs don't know what is just around the corner that can change everything.
