Hey Risa! Did you ever get any spinal taps where they put chemo in your spine? So far that is my worst experience in dealing with my leukemia (diagnosed Dec 22 09) although the bone marrow biopsy I had was just so awful and painful too :(

I have had Chronic Neutropenia for over a year now and nobody even told me until a couple of weeks ago! No wonder I was so sick and always weak. hugs hugs hugs

I completely understand what you mean with this video. Esp. the end. My dad died of cancer and he was really sick like you were. (not the same cancer of course but went through the same things) So, when you were talking about all the things the medicines did I totally knew what you were talking about. You are awesome for sharing these things, people in general take life for granted and you are so right!

i'm glad ur here too & back & healthy. i got emotional watchin this cuz i definetly feel 4 u. i didnt hav chemo but i was very sick for 6 mths & hospitalized w/ meningitis & not able to move. i loss feelin in my lower 1/2 of my body & was carried 2 the hospital. doctors had me bend forward & injected long thick needles between my spine 2 get fluid. It's SO painful cuz i hav scoliosis so they did it 3x. i had much pressure in my head all the time, like it would explode. i'm glad it's over now.
