Answers:
first it is so sweet to care about your friend and should be here for he for this really hard time in her life
right from the "bone Marrow" thingy she might have a bone cancer
maybe a Bone Marrow cancer or sclerosis
she will lose her hair, how quick im not sure i guess it depends
im not sure on the survival but from what i see
It would be really beneficial for you to google Leukemia to find out as much as possible, if that is the cancer she is suffering from. Good Luck.
if shes getting bone marrow its probably leukemia...
some of it is very treatable! since they caught it early she should be ok!
the best wishes for her!
omg im really sorry to hear about that. i really am...
i dont know what its call
but when you loose hair. it com to preatty seriose..
i feel say is at hand anyways anybody should help// let me know
First off, at hand are a number of things it could be. Just wait until she sees the subsequent doctor, and ask her again. Believe me, she won't forget it for long. It will be a word she will become very familiar with. When she tell you, go online and look it up. Learn all you can about it. As her friend, adjectives you can do right now is to be there for her. Hold her hand. Let her cry. Let her bargain. And let her be "normal" when she wants to be. It may be permissible for you to jump with her to the chemo treatments. My husband had cancer 4 years ago, and I went next to him a few times. I also know that chemo doesn't always mean hair loss. It depends on what type of chemo they are to be given. But, sweetie, please take heart........there have be great strides in cancer research, and technology can do a lot of things it couldn't only a few months ago. That "hasn't spread" cut sounds good, or at least less doomed to failure than it could be. I know you're scared for her sweetie, and that's OK, but be scared with her.
Omg im so sorry that is way to immature to have cancer i hope she gets better ='(
That very sad. Usually bone marrow transplants are done for leukemia patients. They can go into remission and live a long long time. Not adjectives chemotherapy makes you loose your hair, There are some that does not cause quill loss however, it depends on the type of cancer they have that will determine the type of chemo. You can go with her when she have her treatments if the hospital allows it. Some hospitals don't allow it because of outside contamination. Once she starts chemo, there's no way of knowing how soon or even if she will loose her hair. When my sister had chemo, sometime she got in the shower with a full commander of hair and it all fell out at once in the shower. some loose it at a snail`s pace, others all at once. Again, it depends on the the type of chemo. If she has leukemia it is cancer of the blood so her entire circulation of blood would be affected. Survival rate is really flawless for this type of cancer. Years ago, no, but if this is the type she has, once chemo is done, she will be on a pill everyday for the cancer. There is a high success rate of leukemia. It's the single cancer I know of that requires a bone marrow transplant. I wish your friend the best. 15 is too young. God bless you for being such a angelic friend. Just be very supportive. Don't treat her any differently than you normally would. If you start treating her like she's going to die, she will know. I know she would want you to still ask her to be in motion to the mall or movies or anything. Just be yourself around her and be there for her. She will need you deeply when she goes through chemo. She will need her friends around her. That is one of the best medicines merely knowing you have loving, caring friends. God bless you and your friend. Source(s): RN breast cancer survivor
I am so sorry in the order of your friend! It is hard to tell what kind of cancer it is. Many types of cancer include chemo, and bone marrow done, so I can't really tell you where the cancer is. Many times chemo does cause relatives to loose their hair. It depends on how strong the treatments are and how often she has them, plus everyone is different. She may not even know the survival rate, they don't other tell you and maybe if she just found out later the doctors might not even know that information yet. You can't really do much besides being there for her. You can't exchange the situation, so be there for her, let her know she can talk to you, try to be compassion and supportive. It depends, I don't know if you will be able to go in beside her for the treatments but I am sure as long as she doesn't mind that people will be able to visit her. I know how complicated it is and it is totally normal to be scared for her. My grandmother is battling throat cancer , and have been battling cancer for over 2 years and I know how hard it is. There will be bumps surrounded by the road but you will get through this no matter what happens. My grandmother is have chemo right now too, and she is hospitalized because she has a low white blood count, and that is rugged for me. But the biggest thing is support, no matter what your friend decides to do, and even if eventually she decide that she doesn't want to fight anymore, you need to support her decision and be by her side the undamaged way. If you need to talk to someone my email is krlud94(a)yahoo.com, I am prepared to talk to you anytime! Best of Luck and God Bless! Source(s): My personal experience with my grandmother's cancer....
