Hello,

i am sorry to hear about the leukemia and the outcome it will bring. I can not tell you what happens at the end of this disease, however I can tell you that my mother passed away with from lung cancer, at the end she could not feel pain with the medicine she was given. She was with the hospice program (wonderful organization)and they were there for her and all immediate family members.

Try not to think of what is going to happen at the end - try to make the best of what time you have together,that is most important I beleive.

Is or will it become fatal? or is it very treatable? my friend is in Cleve. Clinic at this time and awaiting a bone marrow transplant.

I also have a friend at cleve clinic awating bone marrow transplant, very worried

is aml luekemia is the worst one ? what is the course of it

my son had low wbc for several years, never diagosed with anything other than neutopenia, just watch and see. He was taken to the ER with critical platelets, some type of infection into his body with fever, kidney failure with failed dialysis, then brain bleed, we soon found out he had AML and so fast moving that nothing could be done to save him. I am heartsick that something should have been done during those watchful waiting period of time, although he was not sick. No answers do we have on this disease and what happened, our heads are still spinning. My son was only 24!

my friend was just diagnosed with leukemia, sorry i dont have any answers for you jmitchell. but i was wondering if anyone knew how fatal it is. is it likely that the chemo he is having will work? does anyone know?
