Wright knew kids who'd gotten leukemia a third time. "None of them survived. That's when they give you your 6 months. I realized that I was going to die soon."
Wright's doctor, Rebecca A. Gardner, MD, an assistant professor in pediatrics at the University of Washington, did confirm his leukemia was back, but she didn't give him 6 months. As the lead researcher in a new clinical trial, she suggested Wright be the second person to take part. The first person had no remaining signs of leukemia just 9 days after treatment began.
