I was just diagnosed with luekemia on march 13, 2009. I guess I am still in shock and hard to believe. I just do not know what to do. I take one day at a time an I have to learn about my diagnosis.

Greeting kind people

Hi everyone.

I'm new here, I just wanted to let everyone know about a online resource I found which is trying to get 50,000 people into the national bone marrow registry. SheKnows.com is partnering with Save Giovanni's Friends to get 50,000 new people added to the national database. Please just go check out the video and bone marrow page , and even if you don't submit your name for a cheek swab kit, at least pass it on to others. The more we add , the more we save.

Before you think that I am just someone paid to post in these forums, I have already signed up myself, and it's so easy it makes falling of a log look difficult.

My thoughts and prayers are with you always folks

A.L.L.

I AM A 45 YEAR OLD MOTHER OF TWO, I have been in remission from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia since May of 2006 after my first in hospital treatment ,My energy level still isnt half what it used to be. I am still on monthly chemo at the doctors office, and I take a daily pill, and weekly methotrexate, and monthly steroids.The greatest thing to come out of this was being given Zoloft to calm my nerves, I wish I would of been on it before they discovered my disease- the whole process wouldn't of been as scary as it was.To be able to sit and consider different options and not freak out about every new thing is a wonderful thing. My first hospital stay was 28 days, I hadn't spent a night away from my family in 25 years, I was scared , crying all the time, depressed about my disease and what could happen, I was worrying about bills that werent getting paid, and keeping my health insurance paid up no matter what.So far everything has worked out, I am so thankful to my friends and people I dont even know for helping me out.The greatest people in the world are the nurses, you can ask them anything and they will answer it or go and find the answer for you, no questions too stupid for them, they want to help you, and do they ever.

So if there is another adult out there with a.l.l. I would really love to hear from you, and hear what kind of treatment you opted for and how it is working for you,thanks a bunch
