For those of you with Leukemia
Comments

I was 13 and i had symptoms for a while like at least 3 weeks, my doctors kept telling me “it’s an ear infection” “it’s anxiety”, because of my symptoms. I was short of breath, sick all the time (vomiting everywhere), could only eat salty foods because i craved salt (as if i had low sodium), i my vision and hearing were shot and i kept blacking out and passing out and i couldn’t walk. My mom and dad only took me to the hospital because i passed out in the car and that’s when they realized something is wrong. I knew something was wrong but they didn’t believe me, no one did. I went to the hospital and they kept taking my blood as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing in my labs, my mom knew by the third time they took my blood that i had cancer (her mom had leukemia). My hemoglobin was 4.6, my WBC was 2.6 extremely low, my platelets were 31 and my ANC was 0.2. i’m now 17 and in remission, finished chemo in december.
