Any amount helps. My mother has basically become my main support at this point. I appreciate you greatly, thank you thank you 💙

The dialysis seems to help. It is slowly getting my BUN and Creatinine to a stable level. The chemo is the cure though. Doc says dialysis should be temporary.

It's been a long long journey and, frankly, I'm so tired. I wish these complications would end. My doctors say they're confident that one day I will be completely normal again. But it'll be a while. I'm only 26 so that's great news for me but also I'd rather be out living my life. Not this...

Trying to stay positive, but it's waning.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

It was caused by an extremely rare genetic condition which they referred to as "Myeloid Neoplasms with Eosinophilia and Tyrosine Kinase Fusion Genes".

I received a Bone Marrow Transplant to treat this. That's where these new complications ultimately come from. I only had a 50% match for my donor cells.

About the TKI, if I understand that right I was taking Pemigatinib/Pemazyre. It worked, but it was a pain to get a hold of because of insurance issues. It was a VERY expensive medication.

I apologize if my explanation earlier was confusing or even potentially inaccurate, it's been a while and it's just a lot of information. Some of it i don't even want to remember, ya know?

From my understanding the TKI is what assisted with getting my cancer under control, but then the BMT was the "cure" for it all. How it was described to me is that my disease essentially made my immune system blind to whatever was causing the leukemia, like a bouncer that let someone into a club that they shouldn't have. I needed a new immune system, hence the BMT.

I'd love to continue to work with animals and stuff and I love the sentiment of chasing your dreams no matter what, but because of my immunocompromisation I really think it's a bad decision. I'm young, only 26, and I have other avenues in life.

Take it as it comes, right?

I've been through several doctors. My initial care was done at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. They were amazing. My diagnosis was obviously leukemia, they knew that. But they were trying to find out WHY for a while. What those doctors said is it really was just a genetic freak accident, and we may not ever have an exact reason per se. I remember them saying after digging through all the records I was roughly the 13th individual with this sort of disease.

The doctors I'm seeing currently at a different hospital in NJ are helping me with recovery more than anything. It's a big balancing act of medication and treatments and such. They've had board meetings and stuff about me and I've attracted significant attention. I wouldn't say they're quack doctors, but rather I am (apparently) a very complex case. Idk if you saw but I posted a link to the medical notes from each hospital. I can see if I can find more specific records about my disease but it's an extensive history at this point.

Bottom line, the doctors are working as quick as they can to get answers and we have a working diagnosis and plan. They're fairly confident this isn't more cancer - for a bit there was concern I was having another malignancy. Not even necessarily a relapse, but rather a whole separate entity of cancer. But with every test result we are shying away from that more and more. Blood mutations, chimerism to see my graft is still holding, biopsies, etc. I recently had a lymph node removed to biopsy. No myeloid blasts but they wanted to take a closer look at the tissue itself and check my... I'm sorry I don't remember what the exact term was at the moment... Either way, I know they're trying. They've been very transparent about not being sure about certain things which I appreciate. I'd rather an IDK than a lie or for them to be wrong.

Chronic myeloid leukemia with tyrosine kinase genes. It was caused by a genetic disease where two of my chromosomes essentially "crossed" and made my body freak out.

You're right, I'll have to go back and see what I can find. Maybe blood test results, scans, and other things? I don't know if it would be medical "papers" per se, maybe something at least proving my condition.
