A: There are NO guarantees in life. You or she could be hit by a car on your wedding day. Or any one of life’s unexpected ways of dying. If you really love this woman, you would never ask this question. What? If if knew she wouldn’t live more than, say 5 years…you wouldn’t marry her? Jeeez. If you really love her—the previous (yes, PREVIOUS) cancer wouldn’t make ANY difference to you. It would be a non-subject.

Questions about Childhood Leukemia?

Q: I have quite a few questions over leukemia, if you could help that would be great:Is it possible to have acute leukemia as a child, and be cured from it, then later in life develop chronic leukemia? In a nutshell (explain in plain english so those who do not have a science degree can understand) what is ALL and AML?(commonly) How long can ALL and AML go untreated before it becomes too fatal?Can you be born with Leukemia? If so how?In a nutshell what is CLL and CML and is a child likely to develop that?THANKYOU SO MUCH.

A: Unfortunately yes, it is possible to have acute leukemia as a child and develop chronic leukemia later in life. The two may not necessarily be related but it is possible. With leukemia, well, most cancers in general, patients aren’t “cured” but go into remission meaning there is no cancer visible. Then a No Evidence of Disease (NED) status is given when, as the name suggests, there is no evidence of cancer left in the body. At 5 years of holding NED status, one is considered “cured” although the cancer still can come back, it’s just more likely to relapse in the first 5 years off treatment.Some are chronic leukemias that may go on for up to years before diagnosis, and others are acute leukemias that must be diagnosed immediately and treated within the first 48 hours. The most common chronic leukemia are CLL and less common CML. Both chronic leukemias are most common in older adults and rare in children, although there is a teenager that answers a lot of questions here with CML. Children, more often, are diagnosed with an acute leukemia – most commonly ALL. AML is more rare than ALL and also found mostly in people over the age of 50.My 2 1/2 year old son E was diagnosed with a Wilms’ Tumour as a newborn, won his battle, and was recently diagnosed with Secondary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). AML is related to ALL but is still quite different. His cancer is most likely a secondary cancer caused by the chemotherapy his first time when he fought Wilms. E somehow passed his screenings he has every 3 months back in October but in the end of November we started to notice he wasn’t quite himself, and he was diagnosed December 19th.There 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 cells that create blood cells. E had a cold in November that he just couldn’t kick. We took him to the doctor and he was given an antibiotic. He got a little 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 old. His walking was greatly affected from one of the drugs in his first chemo cocktail so he trips and falls pretty often. But the bruising he had was more than usual – he bruised at the slightest bump. That’s when we really knew something was 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 has had 3 strong doses of induction chemo and 3 consolidation rounds, and he’s labeled as being in remission! He still has 3-5 rounds of consolidation chemo left just to make sure all of the cancerous cells are gone. He will also have a bone marrow transplant when a donor becomes available.He had some joint pain at the time of diagnosis. I have to say I didn’t really think too much of the joint pain because he doesn’t walk well due to one of the previous chemotherapy drugs he had – Vincristine. Because of Vincristine his leg muscles are weaker and he walks with “slapfoot” or “dropfoot” and he trips and falls fairly often. I figured his joint pain was because of falling but since his diagnosis I now see that it was probably because of the leukemia. On treatment he has had a significant amount of bone and joint pain, especially early on. When it’s clear that he is in pain, he does get pain meds to help. I think the painkillers do help him but I think even then he does have some pain but duller than without painkillers.In a watered down version, leukemia is the bone marrow either not producing any or all of red blood cells, white blood cells, and/or platelets, or, overproducing faulty blood cells that cannot function. Acute leukemias occur MUCH quicker than chronic leukemias. Without treatment for acute leukemias, within only a few weeks it can be fatal. I have heard of children born with leukemia, but it’s quite rare.I think I’m running out of room to write so I hope this helped you out.

Q: IF YOUR MIXED RACE….YOU SHOULD DO THIS!!! SERIOUS..Body: Please click on little keitons pic for more infoKeiton is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in June 2003, 4 weeks ago in the last month of treatment he relapsed! The disease took another form of Leukaemia – Acute Myeloidblastic Leukaemia (AML). For this process to occur it is very unusual and extremely rare.He is now an inpatient at The Royal Marsden in Sutton where he will be having intensive chemotherapy and Radiotherapy before he has his Bone Marrow Transplant, which is the only way to cure him, with-out one he will DIE!!!!!Because he is mixed race (white mother, black father) his tissue type is very unusual and we are still looking for a perfect match donor, as we have not been able to find one on any of the world-wide registrars. The potential donor must be of the same parental background and be aged between 18 40 years old.We have set up further drive/clinic days for people coming down to give a blood sample to be a potential match for Keiton:Sunday 1st October, Time 11am till 3pm at the St. Edmunds Catholic Church, 115 Hertford Road, London N9 7ENSunday 8th October, Time 1pm till 4pm at the Christian Life Fellowship, The Borough Hall, Royal Hill, London SE10 8REWed 11th October, Time 4pm till 7.30pm at Leopold Primary School Hawkeshead Road, Harlesden, London NW10 9URThu 12th October, Time 5pm till 8pm at Katherine Road Community Centre, 254 Katherine Road Forest Gate E7 8PNOne of the procedures for removing the bone marrow stem cells is very simple and near on painless. A small needle will be placed in each arm and the blood is removed from you left arm and is passed through a machine which removes the Stem Cells and the blood is then passed back into your right arm. It will only take 2/3 hours out of your day to save Keitons life!Time is running out for Keiton and the only way to save his life is to go give blood directly to one of the clinics so we need people to contact the National Blood Service on 0845 7-711-711 www.blood.co.uk or the African Caribbean Leukemia Trust on 0208 667 1122 www.aclt.org to find out YOUR nearest blood clinic.

A: Prayer will get u results no matter what race is who or what. Most Americans are indian and pilgrim heritage so get over the raciest thing. Cancer can be reversed by the proper healing foods and maybe even herbal therapy. Cancer fighting foods are carrots, celery, cherries,apples, mainly produce,V8, herbals like ginseng, ginko,green teas. Just Pray for the child and results will happen.
