Participants Story

Bob FerberBob Ferber

July 17, 1999, was one of the worst days of my life... or, at least, I thought so at the time. I was diagnosed with advanced chronic myologenous leukemia (CML). It seemed like a death sentence. I was scared, depressed, and alone. I immediately began conventional treatments that stopped working after only six months; I was also hospitalized for a week with excruciating, uncontrollable pain and was sure this was the end. My only option was a bone marrow transplant and only around 500 people of 20,000 patients find one each year. So, the statistics were grim, and I was struggling to maintain hope. It was at that time that I discovered the magic of The Wellness Community.
