Well maybe I should start with a comment, since this is the comment box I'm typing into. Just a few hours ago while I found myself unable to sleep( also known as temporary insomnia, only last about 15 minutes ;tops) I decided to head upstairs, to see which cars were parked in the front of the house ( my way of figuring out how much peace and quiet I can expect) There it was. The Newspaper! And I came across this very inspiring news article about a young lady, diagnosed with Leukemia. I thought to myself "____" (sorry, I don't think very fast), what a beautiful thing to take such a serious and heart-stopping event and turn that event around and use your experience to touch the life's of others around you. Thank-you. Look forward to your future blogs. Stay strong.

I was diagnosed with APL in February and after months of treatment have gone into full remission and am now in my maintenance phase. This is a cancer that can be beat, and your positive outlook is the largest part of your recovery. <br /><br />The emotions and turmoil that you are feeling is completely normal. I felt the same. I am considerably older than you and am so impressed by your blog. The changes to your body, emotions and concentration levels will all go back to normal once you are finished with treatments. I too had difficulty concentrating and reading was tough, still is to some extent. Slowly over time it gets better. <br /><br />The loss of my hair was the most difficult thing for me to deal with. We woman become vain over our hair, we spend more time looking after our daily. Mine started to fall out after the 2nd week of my hospital stay. I too had beautiful long hair. One of the nurses told me that I needed to cut my hair short and maybe consider shaving it. I refused to do. I felt I could have control over it and what if it didn’t all fall out. Well 98% of it did… but I still had hair although very thin it was still there. My hair now has grown back very quickly and very curly. I must say I am not enjoying my afro.<br /><br />Keep up on your writing. You are an inspiration to many! Please feel free to contact me if you want to talk to someone who has just been there.
