Hi There,

My name is Kathy and I am a single 42 year old profesional women who was diagnosed with ALL on Dec 26, 2001 and hospitalized for 23 days on Dec 27. I am in my third course of chemo therapy, and am currently undergoing prophylactic brain radiation. So far I have tolerated everything well, and stayed upbeat and positive. Although I remain very optimistic that I will beat the ALL, I have found that I am starting to get somewhat depressed - feeling that there is no more joy in life or things to look forward to. All my life I wanted to get married and have children but I haven't met the right person yet and now my hopes for children have been dashed. I would love to talk with anyone who can relate or has had similar feelings/experiences.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ford54,
I was diagnosed out of the blue with AML on 12/31/01. I think I am still reeling, emotionally and spiritually, from that news. I had recently moved across country and had just started a new job. Since I got out of the hospital at the end of January, I have been staying with relatives and have not yet returned to work. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, my name is Sandra. I was diagnosed with AML Feb. 21, 2002. I am entering the hopital Tuesday for my third round of chemo. I used to be so upbeat and thankful for everything. Especially after the diagnosis. But I have that the last 2 weeks I am slipping further into depression. I actually wish that I had not caught it in time. That I could have just gone to sleep and I wouldn't care right now! Maybe I am not the person you should be reading!

Hi Sandra. Everybody has times when they feel down about having been ill. I do still, almost 12 years after having had Leukaemia. I don't think anyone can stay positive and happy 100% of the time. I think the best thing you can do is talk to others who understand what you mean, who can relate to what you're going through. Take care, Tom

Hi ford54, My name is Danielle and I was diagnosed with ALL on 11/2/01. I am now getting ready to go into the 2 yr maintenance and I can't wait because i hope to go back to school this fall. These 8 months have not been easy but because of my family, friends, faith in God, and my positive attitude--I have been able to cope. I hope to hear from u soon. Danielle Szabo
