In September 1999, Dewayne Seelow, of Neillsville, Wis., was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. He had an autologous blood and marrow transplant in 2000, but the cancer later spread to his lymph nodes. He was then treated with STI 571-an experimental drug used to treat leukemia. But when his platelets started dropping, he began chemotherapy and later successfully received a double-cord blood transplant at Fairview-University Medical Center in December 2001. "I feel great," Seelow said three weeks later while trading jokes with his nurses. "My goal is to go golfing again."
