Thanks for the diagnosis doc. What a bizarre comment.

I salute him for going through a treatment that causes great personal pain and discomfort that probably only has marginal benefit for him but has huge benefits for those who come later.

Would that we had many more people with that kind of selflessness.

The article says: > Edmonds received bone marrow and blood stem cells from the donor in 2019.

The extra five years of life may be a nothing-burger to you, but to Edmonds and his family and friends, I'm sure it has slightly more meaning. Also, most people at 72 don't look entirely healthy and many have multiple health issues.

I suspect we may never know the answer to this. Science cannot find this truth.
