From 1999 to 2005, the five-year relative survival rates overall were:
• Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL): 66.3 percent overall; 90.9 percent for children under 5
• Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): 78.8 percent
• Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML): 23.4 percent overall; 60.2 percent for children under 15
• Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML): 53.3 percent

To get 3-year-survive must be a very difficult time. Main complaint of leukemia patient would be same, the pain. Please be strong and never ever give up!

Hi Kelleys, just knowing your family from afar at church, I can say that you have all, as a family, inspired me in this battle you have fought, even though I don’t even know you….. I love this reflection, and think it is true in whatever battles we are facing, always to remember so that we can look back and see what God has provided and accomplished… and thanks Michelle for posting it on fB so I could read and be more encouraged…. am thinking of you all coming up on this big day… Lizzy

I love how beautifully simple and profound point #9 is. It brings a tear of pain and joy at the same time thinking on that truth.

What a warrior Joshua is. And what a caring, tender sister Andi is.

Your journey and struggle and pain has taught our family much. And there is much that God has redeemed in my heart because I know your family.

This is a beautiful post. I can’t believe it has been 3 years! All of you are inspiring, and I love the way this makes me think about the Kelleys and about God’s promises at the same time.
