He was 67. He died at home, a family spokeswoman said. Born Lecil Martin in Sterrett, Texas, in 1931, BoxCar Willie was the son of a railroad man who used to play his fiddle on the porch while his son sat in on guitar. By his teens he had graduated to playing in jamborees all over the state, but he gave up show business to enlist in the Air Force. He spent 22 years there, logging some 10,000 hours as a flier. After retiring from the service he returned to performing, and by the 1970s he had developed the singing hobo persona, complete with overalls, a battered old hat, worn suit jacket and two days' growth of beard. Although he never had a hit single, his albums sold well over the years and he built a loyal following that would later make him one of the most popular performers in Branson, where he operated a motel and train museum as well as his theater.

The disease accounts for about 20 percent of adult leukemias in Western countries. In 2003, approximately 4,300 individuals will be diagnosed with CML, and an estimated 1,700 will die from the disease. In most cases, CML is characterized by a chromosomal abnormality that is known as the Philadelphia chromosome. Treatment usually consists of various chemotherapeutic agents used to disrupt the production of leukemic cells. These treatments may be followed by stem cell transplant.

Questions and answers are posted on CNN.com after the show. Q: How common is childhood leukemia? A: Approximately 3,250 children in the United States are diagnosed with leukemia each year, according to the National Cancer Institute. The most common type is acute lymphoblastic leukemia – also known as ALL. Fortunately, this is one of the most treatable forms of childhood cancer. The treatment may consist of chemotherapy, various drugs, and in some cases, radiation or bone marrow transplant. Acute myelogenous leukemia, or AML, is less common and less treatable. It occurs in both children and adults and progresses rapidly. It also is treated with chemo. Bone marrow transplantation is much more likely with this type of leukemia. There is also CML, chronic myelogenous leukemia, which accounts for less than 5 percent of all childhood leukemia.

FALLON, Nevada (AP) Maybe the first person to realize something terrible was happening to the children of Fallon was a nurse who gives chemotherapy at the community hospital. It was the summer of 2000, and Dr. James Hockenberry had recently diagnosed two cases of childhood leukemia. As it happened, his son Timothy, also a family practitioner, had seen another. These are the tragedies doctors encounter even in small towns, and neither man put them together. Then one day Tim Hockenberry was working in the emergency room, and the infusion nurse, Barbara de Braga, stopped to see him. "She came walking in and closed the door behind her," Hockenberry says. "I thought, 'Oh, gee. Now what.' She said, 'I'm concerned. I think we may have a cancer cluster going on.' I remember the blood drained out of my face and just thinking, 'Oh, my God."'

Story Tools FALLON, Nevada (AP) A federal study of a childhood leukemia cluster in this northern Nevada town found high levels of tungsten and arsenic in most residents but nothing to indicate that either caused any cancers. Based on the results, however, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked the National Institutes of Health to research possible links between tungsten and cancer, scientists said Thursday. "We've learned a lot. But we haven't found the cause of this leukemia cluster," said Dr. Carol Rubin, head of the CDC's research team. Rubin released the study results Thursday at a community meeting attended by about 300 people. Preliminary results, which echoed those announced Thursday, had been released in August. Since 1997, the leukemia in Fallon a farming community of 8,300 and home of the "Top Gun" Navy fighter pilot training base has sickened 13 children and killed three others.

(CNN) In 1998, Barenaked Ladies hit it big with the catchy pop tune "One Week." But as the song climbed the charts, the band's keyboardist, Kevin Hearn, was fighting for his life. The symptoms had started the year before. First was the cough that wouldn't go away. It was followed by a loss of appetite, fatigue and bloody noses. "That's when I went crazy," Hearn said. "I never get bloody noses." Hearn went in for a checkup, and when the results came back, his doctor gave him the first hint there could be a serious problem. As Hearn recalls, "She came back and said, 'I want to send you to a specialist to have an ultrasound. If you can call a family member, that will be a good idea.'" That was the day Hearn found out he had leukemia. "When I heard it was a form of cancer, I started to worry and I was in denial," Hearn says. "I asked the doctor when [could] I go back to work. He put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'You might not go back to work. You might not be alive in five months.' I broke down and cried."

Additional ATSDR Studies Background The cluster of childhood leukemia cases was brought to the attention of Nevada public health officials in the late summer of 2000, when it was learned that five cases of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) had been diagnosed in Churchill County within a few months of each other. The Health Division immediately consulted with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on appropriate steps for an investigation. To date, fifteen children have been diagnosed with ALL and one with Acute Myelocytic Leukemia (AML), all of whom lived in Churchill County for varying lengths of time prior to diagnosis. Dr. Randall Todd, State Epidemiologist, noted that based on cases reported to the Nevada Central Cancer Registry, an average rate of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia is about 3 childhood cases per 100,000 children.

Subscribe now >> Leukemia Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow, the body tissue that produces blood cells. The bone marrow is a jelly-like substance that fills the inside of the bones. The bone marrow makes three kinds of cells: Red blood cells (erythrocytes): They give the blood its red color. These cells pick up oxygen and carry it to the tissues. They are also known as RBCs. Platelets (thrombocytes): They help stop bleeding if there is injury. White blood cells (leukocytes): They fight infections. They are also known as WBCs. Leukemia develops in these blood cells. In leukemia, certain white blood cells escape the normal control mechanisms that direct their maturing. Instead of aging so they are able to assume certain functions, they remain young and continue to multiply. This can happen to any of three main kinds of white blood cells: Neutrophils, which eat bacteria

Time.com People Fortune EW Experimental drug fights rare leukemia (CNN) - An experimental cancer therapy is showing promise against a rare form of leukemia, researchers reported Wednesday. Scientists at the National Cancer Institute have been conducting early trials on a drug called BL22 for the treatment of hairy cell leukemia. Their work is published in Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Hairy cell leukemia causes the spleen to swell and prevents the bone marrow from producing enough infection-fighting white blood cells. About 1,000 new cases are reported each year in the United States. The standard treatment is chemotherapy, but not all patients respond. The NCI researchers administered the drug to 16 patients who had not been helped by chemotherapy. Eleven of them went into full remission doctors found no cancer cells or only very few cancer cells in their bodies. Two patients went into partial remission. RESOURCES Learn more about leukemia from the National Cancer Institute "We were totally amazed to see the results," said Dr. Ira Pastan, one of the study authors, "amazed and excited because this is a phase one trial where we started a very low dose and mainly looked for safety of the drug. But as we just increased a little bit we found patients who were beginning to respond and eventually a large fraction of the patients we treated responded."
