Hi, Muriel, I'm a retired Medical Laboratory Technologist, (CSLT as was) who trained at The Ontario Department of Health Laboratories in Toronto, the old Christie Street lab, graduating in 1960/61. When I first started working in hospitals nearly all children who were diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, the most common childhood leukemia, died. Thirty seven years later, the year I stopped working, most, in the 90 percentile range, are successfully treated and go on to live normal lives!
