My name is Norma I am 19 yrs old i'm in my 2nd stage i started a week ago i go 2 my treatments 4 times a week i use 2 go once a week. I didn't understand why this had happen 2 me but i'm gettin though it.My Leukemia has to do w/ white blood cells. When I go outside I have to wear a mask b/c if  someone is sick I could get what they have and go back to the hospital and trust being in the hospitla Sucked really bad. B/c I was in ICU for a week then i was in a normal room. The food it was good I order what I wanted but nothing is better then Home Cook Meals. The 1st night I was in the other hospital my older brother brought me Snoic I ate that hambuger like i never ate a hambuger before. But I really miss is work and school, I mean I was starting my Freshmen year of College and wanted to do what other college things. The doctor says that my treatment will take 4 2 and half yrs. Atleast I have freinds and family that are helping get though this b/c  w/o them I don't know where i would be having this love and support that I do. i like this hospial b/c when i get my bone marrow and spinal tabs I am alseep but in the other hospital i was in I was awake and it hurt i was screaming @ the top of my lungs I scream so loud that I nurse though I  feel off the bed I was still in ICU  when the doctor was doin they bone marrow i had to stay still 4 an hour.
