Hi

Hi, My baby brother ( Michael) (now 50 years old) has Down's Syndrome. He has been relatively healthy for most of his life but was diagnosed mid 2011 with CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). I thought I had all the bases covered as far as predictable illnesses were concerned but now I found out that this cancer is quite common for DS people. Any thoughts? We live in Botswana so specialised medical care means travelling to another country (sometimes South Africa and sometimes Italy or Germany). Hope to hear from you soon!
