Its different for everyone, honey. I'm really sorry you have to go through this...just take it easy, some people have no side effects. I wouldn't take anything anyone says on this one too seriously. Listen to your doctor, and talk to your parents and friends if you need someone to talk too. Good luck!! E-Mail me and let me know how its going!!

they put a iv in your arm. now sometimes they put what they call a port in around near your chest area. this prevents them from sticking you too much. you just leave it thee when you are done. i am not sure how they will do this or which one they will pick. you may also have a bone marrow transplant to help get rid of it. you maybe ok. you will get sick but they have stuff to give you before they give this to you an dits helps. you will be ok take care and good luck

i am so sorry, my cousin, she was 19. after she had chemo she got what we all called the zappes. we where told a techniqle term but i cant rememver it. it was just like when you touch the car door and get shocked, exept verry pain full and constant. not everyone gets the zappes though. hope this helps you.

don't think of it as leukemia, think of it as a way to tell Christians that their almighty god brings forth sickness to young people and that why believe in a god when theres so much suffering in the world. Theres no opportunity in that now is there?

sorry but I have no clue, never heard anything about it.
maybe you should look up in google, or ask a doctor ( it's spelled leukemia by the way, not to be rude)
(I no this part is random, but I saw the other answers do you really like it when people call you hun, or honey on this, because I don't really like it)
but just hang in there, ask what the steps are and be informed, also be aware of your options, sorry I don't have the knoledge to tell you.

You'll lose alot of weight, be really tired, and it'll get even more emotional than it is now. Be strong! God bless:)
