Hi Rebecca,

I'm so sorry about your fiance's diagnosis and what a surreal and terrifying time it is for you and for him.....

There are forums specific to Leukemia (both ALL and AML) on here.  If you go to the "Living With..." title and click then there will be a list of the different diseases and you can chose which one is appropriate. Lots of folks on there who can walk with you on the journey and offer reassurance or direction.

Sorry I can't be more help than this but I know nothing much about the leukemias as I have lymphoma.  I wish you and your sweetie all the best!

Sharon

Hi Rebecca -

That's what we're here for....to listen, to support, to hold your (virtual) hand as you and he begin this strange and scary journey,

I'm hanging in there with my treatment.  I have non-hodgkins lymphoma which isn't often talked about  being"cureable" but more "treatable" (like a chronic condition).  I've been living with it since 2001 and about to enter the battle for the 7th time with (hopefully) a clinical trial of an experimental drug - that is if I meet all the criteria and I'll know more next month.  If not the trial, there are a couple of other tricks up the sleeve to try.

You hang in there too, honey.  You don't have to be strong and brave all the time and you are among new friends here who understand and "get it".  This is a place where you're safe to cry, laugh, vent, howl at the moon if that's the mood you're in at the moment.
