Hello,
I was treated for APL in 2006 and am in remission now I was wondering if anyone here had a secondary cancer after being in remission with apl.

Also, wondering if any of you had problems with bone pain and increased illness as a 'side effect' of all the chemotherapy drugs..

    Hi is your bone pain and
    Hi is your bone pain and increased illness a new thing? . When did you finish all medication for APL?. Have you had a recent bone marrow test?. Also consider having
    a lumber puncture test to check your spinal fluid. Make sure you are not over doing it and eating well.
