Hargis, I wanted to answer your question as I understand what your heart must be feeling! I have a daughter who lost renal function before she was 21! It has been a long road with dialysis and so forth.
I cannot give you words of wisdom as she does not have leukemia. But, no matter, they both carry much strife and fighting!
I can say that the one constant thing which has helped me, in the toughest of times...conversation with God, concerning my daughter. Yes, I have witnessed God's miraculous move, in my daughter's life! Prayer is powerful and when I emptied out to HIM, things changed for the good! Still, I cry out to Him, on her behalf!
In as much, I am going to be praying for your precious one and for all who love her. All need lifting up, in prayer and it is my joy to pray for her and for God's intervention, in her health. May He touch her with His peace, comfort, joy and cradle her with His love!!
If ever you need to talk, please e-mail me,
gail

I just read last night that 92% of ALL patients survive and the younger the better.
Yesterday my 4 year old grand daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia and the doctors told my son...she is young...that is on her side.
I will pray for your child.
TO PANDA....The University of Pittsburg School of Medicine has done clinical trials and they have encourage everyone to eat red, blue and purple fruits and vegetables as the pigment in the foods fights cancer and diminishes the growth in most cancers. They named purple corn and chokeberries and bilberries as super foods
Your son may also benefit from the Cancer Hope Center in Nevada. When the patients with stage 4 are beyond medical help the patients go there and have a 90% cure rate.

Insurance will not pay for the treatments but your loved one has a good chance to keep living.

My best friend was diagnosed with Leukemia six years ago when she was 24. She was in the hospital the whole summer while they tried to fight it. I won't lie - it was a rough time- but her sister was a perfect match for marrow and after the transplant Sarah was able to come home within the month. She still has to be careful with illness but all in all she is a happy, in-remission mom of an active seven year old!
My prayers and most positive thoughts are with you and your family. Know that you can make it through this and keep reminding yourself that God is helping you and your daughter.

My son has a very rare, aggressive abdominal sarcoma. He was diagnosed over two and a half years ago. He has gone through high dose chemo, three major surgeries, additional chemo treatment, prepared for stem cell transplant, and is currently doing Clinical Trials. There is no cure for his cancer. But despite the grimness . .there is also great love, dedication, and amazement at my sons courage. Despite having a life threatening disease he still managed to complete his high school education and graduate with his class. He was able to go to college for a semester before returning for treatment. Through it all he has remained upbeat, positive, fun, loves a good argument, and is a total joy to be around. He is not in any pain . . and never has been.
We just enjoy every single minute that we have together, research, seek out treatment options, and remain as focused as possible. He blames no one for what has happened to him
and lives with no regrets.
Stay focused for your daughters sake. She has a tough disease but . . I think you will be amazed by her strength and ability to get through this. Let her be your teacher . . and just appreciate the time you share with her.
I would also encourage you to join a parental support group for feedback and encouragement. Others have been through what you are facing and will gladly share with you their experiences.

Our 6 year old son was diagnosed w/ ALL. & a solid lymphoma.
Not in good shape when we got to the hospital.
Scared out of our minds!
A young doctor took us into a supply room to talk & said...
" We were in for a bumpy ride, but to think of it as a chronic illness rather than something immediately disastrous."....
Found out later that though he was being sincere ,we were in
trouble w/ about 50% chance of leaving the hospital.
It was a "bumpy ride" for 3 years of a brutal chemo. protocol, spinal taps & radiation treatments.
By the end of treatment the "odds" went from the initial 50% chance of survival to a better than 80% chance of cure.
That was over 30 years ago..........
We had exceptional doctors & nurses & will be forever grateful
The treatments now ,are not as devastating as they once were ,do not take as long & cure is expected rather than hoped for.
We won , so will you.
Absolute best regards.

Getting leukemia doesn't means the end of the world. Help her with the learning difficulties. Do everything you can to help her. But always remember one thing "Never Give Up". GOD is there to help you out. Get her a medical treatment and pray for her.

my niece has recently been diagnosed with MLL and as a family we have been trying to deal with it. however i cannot say what a mother would feel when her child is sick. research has come a long way in treating this illness. i can not tell you it going to be easy but my sister has told me that her and Katie have become closer than they have ever been. if you would like to email me or use im i would be very happy to give u her # and my nieces email address at the children's hospital in Boston. if anyone can help your feeling of helplessness she can. i do know it is hard to watch and not be able to do anything to help your daughter. again i am truly sorry

Good luck and my prayers are with you. There are many good doctors out there - especially at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford, CA) that know the best treatment options for leukemia. My son was hospitalized for 3+ months there in the fall for a non-oncology case.

I have a cousin who was diagnosed when he was a baby.
He's been in and out of remission for years now. He's had his struggles and done the whole Chemo thing but he's a very bright, happy kid (now 15 years old) for the most part.
I'll say a prayer for your daughter and your family.

I'm really sorry too hear that.
But 3/5 people are now surviving it is the new review (:
I really hope she pulls through and I'm sure she will.
I luckily dont have something as horrific in my life but I really do feel for you.
Good luck (:
