I have Leukemia! I’m really scared… What’s going to happen to me?

I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia just today and I’m really scared. I am being admitted to the hospital tomorrow morning because my life’s not in immediate danger.. I’m going to be thirteen in two weeks exactly. My family can’t answer any of my questions because they are as scared and clueless as I am. I know I have to get Chemotherapy and they told me they were going to put a tube in my chest.. Does that hurt really bad?

When they put stuff into my tube will it hurt? If you have or have ever had OR know a lot about Leukemia please help me.. Tell me everything I would want to know before I walk into my hospital room tomorrow., I know to ask nurses and doctors too but I just want some insight and know a little bit what to expect before I go.

Thanks soo much:)

PS – how long will I still have my hair after the chemotherapy starts??

Please help: leukemia patient is looking for work from home options?

Hi,
I am writing on behave of my sister. She is in India. She is having excellent teaching experience in the field of advance applied physics for all most 7yrs. unfortunately, two years back she was diagnostics with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) and stopped going to workplace because of her health condition. Now she is better and started looking some home based earning option.
She still can’t go out for work because of side effects of her ongoing treatment and at the same time because of expressive treatment she has to start something very quickly.
I was looking for online teaching classes option as she is having great experience in it but didn’t find any legitimate site so far. All of them are asking money upfront.
Please help me to find some options/ideas for my sis. I will really appreciate your input on this.

Thanks in advance

My 3 year old son has leukemia?

I found out not long ago that my three-year-old son, Nathan, has Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. It has already started spreading to his spine and they started chemotherapy immediately. I’m terrified, it feels like my son has been through enough already. I’m twenty and a single Dad, his Mother wants nothing to do with him. Nathan is mildly schizophrenic and bipolar and has a hard time understanding his feelings and behaviour but he’s amazing. We’re extremely close and I’m scared that I might lose him but I’m also trying to be tehre for him.

Have you had any similar experiences? What would you do and how would you feel if a family member had Cancer?

How Does a person get a government grant for cancer in tennessee?

the cancer is Leukemia Acute Lymphocytic. I need an answer ASAP!!!!!!

How long is Chemotherapy?

How long do you do chemotherapy and radiation for ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia) and how long is each chemo. treatment? Also if it’s in advanced stages would you have to stay in the hospital?

Books for teens with cancer/serious illness?

My daughter (she is 16) was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia) a few weeks ago and is feeling very down. I was looking for books for teens dealing with having cancer/serious illness. Do you know any books that might help?

is there any truth to this causing cancer?

today i received 5 warning emails from family saying this:

“. Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. its not too late to make some changes

Car A/C (Air Conditioning)
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.

Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here’s why:

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin
(carcinogen – take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.

Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What’s worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car – give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff – before you enter.”

i dont believe this myself and if it is true i doubt its any more dangerous than any other cancer causing agents.

do you know if this is for real or just another hoax?

Where are the most cases of leukemia? “cancer”?

I have this theory. If someone could tell me where the most cases of leukemia occur, I will be 1 step closer to my conclusion.

As you know, the Earth’s core is made from liquid metal. This “liquid metal” surrounds Earth with a magnetic field protection our surface from ex poser of solar wind, caused from radiation bursts from the sun. If your familiar with the beautiful norther lights in Alaska, this is a great example of something REALLY bad. Those northern lights you see, are radiation breaking through the ionosphere (AKA “ionizing radiation”) causing that really pretty aurora effect you see in the sky. This ionizing radiation, is know to be able to cause cancers (a form of leukemia).

If cases of leukemia most happen is these kinds of areas, It would make much sense. Also, maybe I could get some kind of link to a chart, that shows the growth in cancer through out the years.

about car accausing cancer?

Subject: Car A/C (Airconditioner) MUST READ!!!
More and more people are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder how it comes about but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.
Many people will rush into their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week and start their cars and immediately switch on the air-conditioner.

Car A/C (Airconditioner) MUST READ!!!
DO NOT turn on your A/C as soon as you turn on the car ignition

It can also cause miscarriage.

Thought:

‘When someone shares something of value and importance with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.’

Did you hear about benzene in common brands of soda and fruit juice?

It is found in soft drinks, water and juices that contain vitamin C and sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate. Two of the most common preservatives used. If they get heated as in left in a car or during the manufacturing process benzene is formed which can cause cancer, leukemia, etc. FDA limits benzene in drinking water to 5 parts per billion. Safeway Select Diet Orange had levels of 79 parts per billion.

can high levels of radiation cause cancer?

can radiation cause cancer and leukemia or even death?

Cancer/leukemia: Do you believe?

…that living or working near high levels of electromagnetic energy fields such as those high voltage power lines can cause cancer?

If you know someone who has cancer, have you noticed power lines near their residence or where they work?

How long after starting Chemotherapy does it take to lose your hair?

I was diagnosed with Leukemia and I haven’t started treatments yet. My parents are helping me look into a lot of things, the doctors think I should have the chemotherapy. Anyway when you start the chemo how long does it actually take to lose your hair? A few weeks? A month? How did you deal with it when this happened? And is it true that the drugs really make you feel terrible?
I’m 15, I have very beautiful long hair down to my waist…so it would be very sad for me to lose it…but I just want to know what your experiences are for anyone who’s had cancer and gone through chemotherapy and how you felt

Can anyone diagnose me?

My name is Terisa and I am in desperate need of help! I am 19 years old and have been very ill for almost a year now. I have seen several doctors (including specialists), had hundreds of tests, and even more medications and treatments to no avail. I am getting pretty desperate because the nature of my illness is one that restricts me to home, limits me to few activities, and most importantly, keeps me in constant pain. I am hoping that somewhere out there is my House. I am looking for a doctor looking for a challenge or someone that has struggled with illness that may have answers! I am willing to take any suggestions so if anyone has any idea of what I could have, please feel free to put in your two cents! And please don’t hold back because of how serious a diagnoses you have. I’ve been told I have all sorts of terrible diseases so I’m not shy about that. The following are my symptoms.

*Wide spread, chronic, severe pain that is worst in the knees, hips, and back. The pain is made worse by movement, sitting, standing, exercise, walking, bending over, crouching down, and on bad days, laying down. The pain is helped by narcotic pain killers and heat but never goes away completely. A normal day my pain is between a 5 and 7 on the pain scale. With drugs, a 3 to 6 (The pain started March 2nd, 2009. At the time I was diagnosed with a bulging disc but I have since been undiagnosed. However the pain mimics that of a bulging disc if that helps.)

*Chronic, debilitating fatigue. This is more recent than the pain.

*Insomnia (I have always slept well before this.)

*Hair loss

*Cold Intolerance

*Clotting disorder (This one is bizarre. I have never had a problem until recently when I started bleeding into a bruise (blood started to pool under the skin at bruise site) and had a nose bleed for 2 hours. Tests show that I have a problem with my clotting time and my Factor 7 is high.)

*Severe abdominal pain (Severe abdominal spasms that bring me to my knees. I have been diagnosed with IBS but I include this as a symptom just in case.)

*Joint stiffness and weakness.

*Numbness, tingling, and weakness in left leg and lower back (this is why they thought I had a bulging disc.)

*Occasional twitching and shaking

*Extreme changes in appetite (sometimes I can’t eat and sometimes I can’t stop.)

*Nausea

*Headaches

*Stomach Ulcer (this might be stress related or some bizarre manifestation or what I have, I don;t know yet.)

*Changes in menstrual cycle even though I am on birth control and have been for 2 years.

*Irritability, anxiety, and depression.

Now here is the really bizarre part. I have been tested for and do not have: Hypothyroidism, Leukemia, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, A factor 7 disease, pregnancy, or anemia. This is where I stump everyone. I test negative for everything! So this is where I need help. If anyone has an idea of 1) What else I could possible have or 2) how it is possible that I could have the above mentioned things and test negative.

Well thanks for your time and help. I really appreciate anything anyone can offer me!

Thanks again.

What’s your story???

Everyone has a past, whether we like to admit it or not. I’ll start by sharing mine. I grew up in a foster home with a wonderful family, their adopted daughter, Natasha is still one of my very good friends. My birth parents had drug problems and anger problems, so they did parenting programs and such and worked VERY hard to get me back and at the age of five, i got taken home with my birth parents. Life was good, and then my sister was born, she was so cute, and of course I was a jealous little brat then as we got older, my dad started taking his anger out on us. not in physical, though he did threaten, but he would call me names (such as “b****” and “idiot” and whatnot,) and would threaten us over the littlest of things. I was scared of him. if the dishes weren’t done, BAM, flip out. He was unkind to my mother, and for about three months, they broke up, but inevitably got back together. A few more years passed, and my mom was diagnosed with Leukemia. She had Chemotherapy almost every day, and I became the “runner of things” so if somethign wasn’t done properly, it was immediatly on me, but I didn;t mind. i thought that i was helping my mom, and I was doing the best I could, and if I got in trouble, than I obviously wasn’t doing enough. But it was never enough to make her better, never enough to make my dad love me, never enough to be perfect. Then, one day, It just happened. I started cutting myself. No, I’m not emo. I’m a bubbly, usually happy girl who suffered from a common disorder. At first it was just scratches, then it slowly progressed and got deeper and deeper, harder and harder. Then one day, my mom was cured, and life was perfect again. That heaven lasted about three months, before she was diagnosed with Colon Cancer and Kidney problems. It was all happening again, and I was spiralling out of control. I attacked myself with everything I could find. Then one day, when i saw the scars I had made, I cracked. I finally saw what I had been doing to myself for all this time, and it wasn’t right. I went to my mom. That was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Partly because of shame, partly because of fear, and partly because of love. When you tell someone you care about something as burdening as this, it feels horrible. You’re taking their innocence away, and burdening them with your problems, and she had enough to deal with. Needless to say, she took it like a champ. I never knew she could be so understanding, but she was my saviour, my fallen angel, everything a mom could ever be. She got me help, she understood me, even when I slipped up and got mad at her for getting mad at me for cutting, she never once turned and said “Your crazy and messed up and I don’t know how to handle you.”She understood about my dad being emotionally abusive, she understood my pain from seeing her in pain, and she understood how much it hurt for me to tell her. Now, I’m no longer self-injuring, my dad is still an a**hole sometimes, but I have found new ways to handle him. My mom is going in for 6 months of radiation treatment for her Colon Cancer, and is currently undergoing Dialisis for her Kidneys.

I have no doubt that she will pull through.
She is probably the strongest person I have ever known, and she saved me.
If she can do that, she can save anyone, including herself., along with me and my family’s help.

Life has it’s up’s and down’s, and I want to hear your story! I will not judge you as long as you don’t judge me, and I have been completely honest with you, and I hope you will do the same with me

Crystal, age: 14
Haha, I had to look up “bamf” to find out what it meant, and yes, I realize it’s long. I made it as small as possible, and honestly I wouldn’t have put it at all but I thought it would make people feel a little more trusting and open. I’m here for anyone who wants to share experiences, being good or bad. And honestly, I think I’m almost glad that I’ve gone through these things. They’ve made me the person I am today and they’ve made me have an insight into some situations that others may not have, and though they did hurt me at the time, they’ve only made me stronger. (though I appreciate being called bamf ) When you’re in situations like that, you learn to take it one day at a time, and live through it, you don’t focus on the present, you focus on what’s next looking for that silver lining in the storm cloud.
Brianna, you are very strong for going through something like that, and as a fellow teenager I can only offer some advice. Focus on the happy! I’m not saying don’t have dark days. Have them, and let them be dark, but there always comes a time when the sun has to come up, and we step forward and let it go, and it seems that you have learned to do that very well, and I have the utmost pride and respect for you. Cheeky Girl, your psychoanalysis was probably the most wonderful thing I’ve ever read, because I’ve actually now had someone tell me and confirm of who I’ve become as a person, and I will definitly take your advice on the feelings related to my family, and to everyone else, thank you so much for telling me that I’m, and i quote “bamf” ( look it up!) but all of you are just as “bamf” as i am because you each have your own hardships, and you each have your own way of overcoming them, even if your life is perfect, then you still are “bamf” simply because you know how to appreciate wh
Stephanie, I am so sorry for your loss, both of your parents and your boyfriend and the seperation from your brother. I can only wish you the best, and I wish that I could do more, but look at yourself for a moment. You have been through so much, and your still here, your still alive, and you have a job and you’ve made something of yourself even though you started from basically nothing. And if your boyfriend broke up with you over your brother, then can you really think he would’ve been a good man to live with? I’m sure your a wonderful and beautiful and amazing person, and anyone would be inceredibly lucky to have you in their life. I’m here to send u an “internet hug” and tell you that even though you may not think it, you’re strong and smart and you can do anything if you set your mind to it, and I’m sure your parents would agree.
Christian, can I just say that is such a touching story, to hear about a kid who’s gone through so much and yet still found time to enjoy the little things (such as having a room all alone w ur brothers ) And, just a suggestion, have you talked to your mom about her alcohol problem? I know it doesn’t seem like much, but a small tap could maybe set all the dominoes in motion, and I would also like to suggest something else. Though the past may hurt, and though it may be hard to move one, it does not do you any good to dwell on it, or on the bad things in your present right now. I mean, yeah, take it for what it is, look at it analyze it, break it apart, piece by piece if you have to, but in the end, put the pieces down, and look to the future, is your dad leaving or your mom’s alcohol problem going to hamper what YOU can do as a person? Even your brothers? No. It may affect it, may change the paths, but it will never hold you back. You don’t need gangs, you don’t need any of that stu

I guess i have ITP help?

So my doctor said that the test came back positive that my antibodies are attacking my platelets.

Is there any drug that does not make you gain weight? If they are going to have me take predisone or some kind of sterioid, I will not do it. Is there anything else? Any other treatments?

What are the causes of this? Could I have leukemia? I had a bone marrow biopsy done and am waiting for the results.
I have seen a hemotologist.

How would you respond to this family issue?

My husband father has lung cancer/leukemia/diabetic etc. He is 82. His treatments are finished. Basically his body is failing and he is suffering.

A few weeks ago my husband brother who lives three states away called him and told him it was all in his mind and that he could do what ever he put his mind to. He calls himself a “Humanist”.

Needless to say that following week he passed out/fainted at a drug store. Yesterday he fell at home and fractured bones in his back. There is nothing they can do for it. He now has a walker that he refuses to use. Last night his wife, my mother in law finally got him to rest and sleep only because he had started with a fever.

On the contrary the rest of us that are close to him see the reality of what is happening.

At this point what would say or do, if any thing ?

What is the true success rate for an allogenic bone marrow transplant for aml in a patient over age 65?

My father-in-law has aml and has to decide whether or not to have a bone marrow transplant. He is 67 years old and has no other health problems other than the leukemia. His doctor said that he has the health of a 57 year old, but would not recommend the transplant because of his age. The doctor also said that the statistics are not accurate concerning transplants in older patients…they are actually worse.
So, I would like to know if there is anyone lout ther over 65 who has had a bmt, or do you know someone who has? And can you share your/their experience? Or is there a website where I can get accurate statistics?

if you are good at statistics, will you please help me?

i have AML M7 leukemia and have been in the hospital a lot lately, causing me to miss almost my whole semester of classes and i really need to make a decent grade on my final exam. I’ve taken all of my other quizzes, but there is a lot of material on the final that i don’t know how to do. i’ve already answered over half of the questions on the final, but I’m really exhausted and can’t understand the rest of it. could someone please let me email them the questions and help me out?

i feel awful for having to ask this, but money is a crunch right now and i can’t afford an online homework tutor. please help me..
its college statistics: but its the lowest level they offer. here are a couple of examples from the final:

Calculate the 40th percentile for the following data:
4    7    9   12    13    15    20   32   59    59 

What is the value for X2 left (chi-squared – left) for a 95% confidence interval when n=18?

Dog diagnosed with leukemia..I want to put him to sleep but my son wants him to have chemo..?

Can anyone help me persuade my son, perhaps you have been in this situation with your own dog.
His dog is 8 yrs old and he inherited it from his close friend who sadly died at 18 in a road accident just over 2 years ago.
I think this is his main reason for holding on to the dog as long as possible.
The vet has told us it is an agressive form of leukemia and even with chemo the chance of survival is very small..without treatment it will be a few months at the most. I do not want to see him suffer any pain or put him through injection after injection knowing he will never be be cured. This has really come at a bad time for my son he had a rough time when his friend was killed and he had really just started to live his life again but this has brought it all back to him and i dont want him to feel guilty about bringing an end to the dogs life..what more can i say?
After reading some replies i feel i should say .. the dog at this moment in time is not in any pain or distress the vet assures me of this, apart from looking a little thinner than usual u wouldn’t know there was anything wrong with him…his tail just never stops wagging. I just want my son to remember him this way. My son is almost 21 by the way , and we have had pets put to sleep before when he was younger which he has understood and been able to accept.
Thank You all for your replies i read them all though tear filled eyes, My son is taking Ozzy to the vet tomorrow to start chemo to see how he copes with it …he says if its too hard on him he’ll let him go peacefully…when the end does come he wanted him to be cremated and his ashes scattered on his late friends grave, but his Mother & Father have both suggested the urn be buried next to the headstone and have given us permission to have a few words engraved on the stone, which i thought was a very nice gesture to make…thank you all once again

But i really want to help her back to health and find her a good home, she obviously didnt take care of herself in the wild and i couldnt let her go. sooo, i took her to the vets yesterday to get here some shots but i couldnt. she was very sick actually with 105 fever, the norm temp is bout 101.5. She also was about only 5.5 pounds- and nine months old- thats why she looked so akward with long legs and a kittens body. He said that she prolly has feline leukemia and that he would put her down. But im not the person to give up just yet.Shes still alive ya no- active and eating not normal yet but more evryday- she was just starved. He said he would perscribe medication- clavamox fore twice a day. also he said she had a old bite/wound mark – i seen him pull the hair and when i got home later that nihgt i noticed that the wound waskinda reopened like the scab was off- nice to top it all off. Yeah she has fleas too he gave her treatment for that and worms. Well does anyone know and food that would fatten her up that she would eat best- she loves this cat milk ive been giving her. This little cat is so energetic and eating and normal, but is she past the point of no return if she has feline leukemia, i really cant afford the test to see its 40 dollars and i really cant do that when i have dogs i cant. But i really want to help this cat out shes been through alot her owner must have let her go she is very very tame. Well does anyone have an opinion about her diet and what i could do im so confused and cant decide by myself

My mom has cancer and its very expensive. I’m trying to find cancer related grants or scholarships ?

Cancer (especially CML Leukemia) Puts quite the financial burden on a family. Money that would otherwise go towards my college goes towards medications and bills.
