What do you know about Sickle Cell, if anything? We wanted to start off 2020 with something personal and very important to us at the Ro and Jo Show! There are apporoximately 100,000 Americans with Sickle Cell Anemia, however Sickle Cell does NOT have a National Registry like other diseases. It is deadly, and does not get proper attention from the healthcare community. In this episode we explain what Sickle Cell is, who it impacts, and the advances made to cure the disease. Since we recorded this episode "60 Minutes" did a segment on Sickle Cell that touched on some of these issues including how a new treatment using the HIV virus is curing Sickle Cell disease, in fact, roughly 16 people have been cured with this treatment.
