Hi Windy, My names is Jan. My 28 year old son James was diagnosed in
Dec. with ALL so I am new to the emotions also.
I couldnt even imagine it happening to a small child. When I started
my on line search all the pictures of the children made me
cry......they are so young and innocent.
James is on day 36 of treatment now.....into the secound
round...round one was really hard but so far round two is much
better. Actually we got the marrow report back yesterday for Jan.
31st and there is no leukemia present at this time.
I had to go after about 3 weeks and get lexapro, I wasnt functioning
at all. It was a hard decission to make but the way I was I sure
wasnt going to be of any help to him. This has helped me out a big
bunch. I can now sleep, eat and think (I dont think I was a good
thinker before it all happened :)

Good luck with this, and if you need to talk I havnt been in your
shoes but I will gladly be here for you.
Give her a big hug for me ok.....
My Prayers are with you
~jan

support. Our daughter was diagnosed with A.L.L. 2 weeks before her
3rd birthday. She is doing well right now. We have already had 2
bouts with hospital stays, vancristine poinsoning and she has about
doubled her weight from the steroids she has been taking. This
diagnosis was such a shocker to us..no childhood cancers in our
family...but to watch our healthy baby girl..go through this its
heartbreaking...we are on day 26 of treatment, so all these emotions
are new...
