Any ALL Survivors Out There Who Have Advice?
I was diagnosed with ALL last November. I have been in remission for a while now and am in the maintenance phase of my chemotherapy. I was taking Mercaptopurine for a few weeks when my counts started to drop. I have been off them for three weeks now and my counts are still dropping. They were stable for a week or so, then…
Any survivors of ALL as a young adult out there?
I'm a 23 year old who was diagnosed with ALL a year ago. I'm currently on maintenance chemotherapy and I'm looking for survivors' stories from people who were diagnosed as a young adult. I would also like to share my story with anyone in a similar situation and encourage each other throughout our journeys.

They are setting up my bone marrow biopsy, which HURTS me sooooooooo bad, as you know, surely. Let's say the biopsy comes back okay...what, if anything, do they usually do after? Any…
CLL chemo
I was diagnosed ten years ago with CLL that did not require any treatmant at the time. Through the years I was upgraded to stage 0 than stage 1. About 5 months ago I went in for a hernia operation which was stopped because of my blood count. I'm now at stage IV and started FCR chemo three weeks ago. I've been very sick…
