I'm so sorry you and your wife are going through this. It's an awful experience, hopefully it'll be over soon and you two can move on with your lives.
Something to keep in mind is that cancer isn't just one disease, it's a huge cluster of diseases with similar presentations. I survived testicular cancer this year, which happens to be one of a group of cancers that is almost completely curable. Thirty years ago it was not the same story, with a 90% five year mortality. Now it's 95% five year survival. That said, two close family members passed away this year from other types of cancer, one kidney and another colorectal.
I guess my point is that each type of cancer potentially requires a different cure, and some are easier nuts to crack than others. Leukemia has a promising future as one of those curable cancers.
