Whacky Idea I: Thank you Berlin Patient

So the Berlin Patient, the 1 patient in the world who was cured of AIDS, got me thinking.  

What if, we find some highly effective breast cancer resistant gene, which could be an immunity gene X (Metabric study already identified some, should be more by other researchers).   Then we find a patient with both BC (preferably MBC) and leukemia, call her P.   Because P needs bone marrow transplant anyway, we gave her a donor's bone marrow who happened to have breast cancer resistance gene X.  

This idea is similar to cancer vaccine, just a little more far fetched.
