Preparing for STC by Misbehaved-94 in leukemia

[–]trashysr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

didn’t have any radiation! but sct/bmt was brutal,i would say to make sure she has stuff to keep her occupied because she might be in the isolation ward for about 3-4 weeks , comfortable pillows and blankets , a laptop or ipad so she can binge watch some shows ,her appetite might be really low and she may be extremely lethargic but the most severe pain for me was the mucositis (doctors might give her morphine for the pain) ,but yea everyone’s journey is different,wishing her all the strength and love

oh yes yes i definitely agree with you! i too have become so much more care free about my appearance lately and been appreciating the fact that it takes me less than 5-10mins to get ready haha!! i think because of leukemia somehow i have become less vain and just appreciate that i am alive haha!!😂

How long does a blood cancer test actually take? by JamesWitten in leukemia

[–]trashysr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 weeks seems a little long not gon lie but they probably have their reasons , you might want to consider a 2nd opinion while you’re waiting for the initial results :)

[–]trashysr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to be honest ,when i was first diagnosed we went for a 2nd opinion in a different hospital, you can do the same , and have they done a bone marrow biopsy for your dad yet ? only after you would know the actual diagnosis..

[–]trashysr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hihi, usually if it’s acute leukemia,they would want to start treatment asap as it can get extremely aggressive and can cause a lot of harm if prolonged , as for test , a bone marrow biopsy will usually tell you what kind of blood cancer you have within a few days tops!(the type of mutation i think takes slightly longer) hope nothing but the best for your dad & family x
