Interesting article. I'm familiar with a case where the patient battled Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Hodgkins Lymphoma and finally Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy. He died 3 days ago. He constantly had severe colon pain and strange bowel habits for years prior to any cancer diagnosis. Nothing could ever be found by colonoscopy, barium enema or MRI. Possibly JCV was lurking in his gastrointestinal tract for years?
