Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)?
Okay well.. My friend has Acute Lymphoblast Leukemia(All) and she is 17 year old, Female
I be just wondering… She says her stomach hurts a lot. Like she’s other complaing about it
Is that a side effect from having Leukemia? What do you thin the best item for her to do is? (Besides going to the doctors of course. Like when she’s at home. What should she do? And is there a type of Medicine they subscribe to her for her leukemia? If so what is it called? Can someone please enlighten me everything that she should when she’s at home and not at the doctors. I’m worried about her.
Answers: I'm sorry to hear about your friend, ALL is an acute leukemia, which is considered a medical emergency. Patients diagnosed with any of the acute leukemias (ALL & AML) need to begin treatment very soon after diagnosis - usually inside the first 48 hours - in order to have a hit and miss of a better outcome.
I have met many children with ALL over the closing 2 1/2 years but I know more about AML. My son E was diagnosed with a Wilms' Tumour as a newborn, won his skirmish, and was recently diagnosed with Secondary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). AML is relatebeside yourselfLL but is still quite different. His cancer is most likely a secondary cancer cause by the chemotherapy his first time when he fought Wilms. E somehow passed his screenings he has every 3 months back in October but contained by the end of November we started to notice he wasn't quite himself, and he be diagnosed December 19th.
e are lots of symptoms of leukemia but each individual is different. Some display some symptoms while others display other ones. There's no actual tumour as in other cancers but leukemia is a cancer of the cell that create blood cells. E had a cold in November that he in recent times couldn't kick. We took him to the doctor and he was given an antibiotic. He got a bit better but as soon as he finished the antibiotic he got sick again. He usually has a couple bruises here and there since he is a 2 year infirm. His walking was greatly affected from one of the drugs in his first chemo cocktail so he trips and falls pretty commonly. But the bruising he had was more than usual - he bruised at the slightest bump. That's when we really knew something be wrong and took him to the doctor again. Once he was diagnosed we found out that his spleen and liver were enlarged - also symptoms of leukemia. Due to the extent of enlargement of his spleen, he had it removed after a round of chemotherapy. So far he have had 3 strong doses of induction chemo and 2 consolidation rounds, and he's labeled as being in remission! He still have 3-5 rounds of consolidation chemo left just to make sure adjectives of the cancerous cells are gone.
During chemotherapy, Eli has a horrible time with nausea and vomiting. He have tried several anti-nausea drugs to help him such as Ativan, Zofran, Kytril, or even Benedryl. The Zofran seems to work best for him although Ativan does take away the nausea - it merely sedates him to the point he barely speaks for 24hrs after the dose.
He had some joint misery at the time of diagnosis. I have to say I didn't really think too much of the mutual pain because he doesn't walk well due to one of the previous chemotherapy drugs he have - Vincristine. Because of Vincristine his leg muscles are weaker and he walks with "slapfoot" or "dropfoot" and he trips and falls fairly commonly. I figured his joint pain be because of falling but since his diagnosis I now see that it was probably because of the leukemia. On treatment he has have a significant amount of bone and joint pain, especially early on. When it's clear that he is surrounded by pain, he does get pain meds to assistance. I think the painkillers do help him but I think even next he does have some pain but duller than without painkillers.
A leukemia diagnosis is completely not a death sentence. It's treatable but you have to keep surrounded by mind that it does take lives. I know many children and adults that have gone on to live completely common lives after getting their No Evidence of Disease (NED) status. Sometimes a patient does relapse but it is absolutely possible that he or she can reach remission and eventually NED status.
pe this help you out some and I hope your friend has a fast remission with no relapse. If you own any more questions feel free to email me (crazycanuckj(a)yahoo.ca) or IM me (crazycanuckj).
