I don't know where to post this, please move it if this is not the right place, or delete it if it is not convenient to post it on the forum. A few days ago the doctors diagnosed my daughter with leukemia. My daughter is 24 years old, but she has cerebral palsy and that makes everything complicated. In the years that I have been on this forum, I have seen the love and solidarity of the people. I am still in shock and I can't find many words right now, I just want to ask you to pray so that my daughter has the strength to recover. Thank you.
So sorry to hear that. Sending you both all the hugs and well wishes I can squeeze through the internet cable.
Acute or chronic? (e.g. ALL, CLL, CML) Leukämie/leucemia has a wide range of possible variants. The chronic one, a colleague of mine had had and survived, could possibly take 10 years before she would even need the first treatment.
Chemo treatments are pretty amazing these days (saved my life). I sincerely hope that everything works out good for you and your daughter.
Thank you all very much. The doctors' first prognosis was terrible, seeing that my daughter has cerebral palsy. But as the doctors got to know her better, they changed the prognosis, although it is not as good as we would wish. My daughter was born at 29 weeks pregnant, she was a hand and a half long and weighed 1 kg. A few days after birth she had a serious pneumothorax and a few days later she was operated on with only a 1% chance of surviving. This was followed by a multitude of operations and before she was a year old, she had already been through more things than any other person will go through in their entire life. On an emotional level she is like a 9 or 10 year old girl but she is very intelligent and the strongest person I have ever met and I know that she will beat the prognosis and she will get better. She has had several chemotherapy sessions, the doctors warned us that she would have nausea, feel ill and start losing her hair. But while she's undergoing chemotherapy, she keeps smiling, making puns and showing her strength. That's my daughter and I'm the encyclopedia of maternal pride. Please excuse the speech, and my endless thanks to everyone. Thank you.
My father in law was diagnosed with leukemia over ten years ago. He views it as saving his life. He changed his diet, stopped drinking, lost over 100 pounds and is healthier than he has ever been. I know illnesses spawn in different ways with different people. I'm just letting you know it's not necessarily a death sentence. I'm very sorry you are dealing with this because it's very hard to watch your children suffer in any manner.
After the first phase of treatment, the doctors have said that "the numbers are going well." Next week they will do more tests to begin the second phase. But the numbers are going well and my daughter is still smiling The situation is complicated and I am not going to go into detail with the story, but my daughter is not hospitalized in the city where I live, so I am away most of the time and work from the hospital with my laptop, on which I have managed to install SotA and can play for a few moments with the minimum settings. And those moments help me keep my sanity. So thanks to SotA for existing, and thanks to everyone for your good wishes.
Greetings It makes me smile that your daughter is still smiling. I can not imagine how hard this is for you and your family. The travel, the worry, and seeing her going thru this. Just know we are all with you in prayers and support. Take care of her and take care of yourself also. Saludos Me hace sonreír que tu hija siga sonriendo. No puedo imaginar lo difícil que es esto para ti y tu familia. El viaje, la preocupación y verla pasar por esto. Solo debes saber que todos estamos contigo en oraciones y apoyo. Cuídala y cuídate a ti también.
