john24+FollowBuffalo’s young cancer fighter beats the oddsA 6-year-old in Buffalo is heading to first grade cancer-free, thanks to a groundbreaking treatment at Roswell Park. Bryn Ailinger’s rare leukemia didn’t respond to standard therapies, but CAR T-cell therapy—where her own immune cells were re-engineered to fight cancer—changed everything. Five years ago, this kind of recovery would have been impossible. Now, more than 80% of patients see their leukemia disappear after this treatment. Doctors are hopeful this approach could soon help with even tougher cancers, like those in the brain. What do you think about these advances in cancer care? #Health #BodyHealth #Buffalo31Share

This isn’t just a win for one family; it’s a game-changer for kids with tough-to-treat cancers. The best part? Fewer side effects and a shot at a normal life after treatment.

Pamela Marshall+FollowBuffalo’s abuse survivors see hope in $272M dealBuffalo’s clergy abuse survivors could finally see meaningful support, as a $272 million settlement proposal moves forward.
