I was diagnosed when I was 10 and had 3 year treatment, I am now 16 and not having any serious side effects, however I do tend to get ODMS more than other people when I warm up and stretch more than them and sometimes experience stiffness in my lower back due the multiple lumbar punctures

I have had acute lymphocytic leukemia since I was 5. (I am 15 now.)
The only real side effects I ever had was normal chemo/radiation stuff: ya know, throwing up, "the splats", losing my hair, that sort of thing. Oh yeah, and I've been sterile for a long time, because of the radiation.
