    Re: Family Book...Forum Style

    Thanks Dan. I guess if I had to pick what form of cancer to have it would be that one then. I'll know more specifically next week.

    Mark, believe it or not a Doctor told me today that if I think I can quit before chemo starts then fine. If not wsit until after treament. When he said that I thought my wife was going jump up and hit him. He explained that going through those type of withdrawals during chemo makes it very difficult to tolerate.

    I have actually only smoked about 10 cigs since tuesday. I did send away for ecigs though.

            I hate to pile upon bad news - sorry to hear yours DL.

            Those here who know me know my son has been through an Autism diagnosis - well, 1/7/14 he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Took him into ER on 1/7 after he had minor viral/flu symptoms over the holiday break including that morning, but towards evening that night he complained of weakness on his right side of body and jaw felt "not right" - pediatrician said get him to ER or call 911, I took him in. Longer story short is after blood work, calcium looked low, and then after more blood taken, potassium count off - next was xray and a ct scan - by 10:45 that night after those tests had three doctors in the ER room - white cell count very high. Diagnosis confirmed.

            Things moved quick - groin tap and had platelets inserted, machine that removes white cells to bring the count down, surgery on 1/8, chemo started 1/9.

            He has the most common type of Leukemia and the "best" subset of that - he's been home now over a week, we face an intense 4-6 month chemo treatment process.

            Bottom line is due to him being so articulate - we got him to the hospital in time. this hits with no warning signs, and I shudder if we had just dismissed this. He's taken this remarkably well. Kids are so resilient - I don't know what really more to say.

                  Oh, Coop, that has to be a parent's worst fear. So glad it was caught quickly and that things are positive. Very sorry he has to go through this. Prayers and good thoughts with you guys.

                    Wow Coop, I am also glad you got him in to the hospital so quickly. Is it something that he'll recover from after the chemo?

                    Let me know if I can be of help in any way. Thoughts and prayers going out to you too.

                      Glad you were able to get an early grip on this Coop (thanks to your sons abilty to convey his symptoms it seems!), and things are underway.

                          Coop, that's just awful news. Glad to hear he is taking it well and that the prognosis is good. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

                                Don't know why but I have always left this thread alone

                                First day I read about Coop's kids battle with leukemia.

                                My thoughts and prayers to your family coop, speed treatment and recovery.
