Yeah - I sometimes have a hard time explaining to people that the tech is moving so fast that long term stats from the past are meaningless these days.....

I mean when I was a kid leukemia was a horror - now most are cured..

Seems monoclonals are a big gun.....

It just amazes to think of the changes to the family outlooks....
