  • Ok so I have to tell you how HAPPY! I am to find your blog! I typed in APL in you tube and yours came up! I watched a few of your APL blogs and it made me laugh (because of the irony) because u said so much of what I have experienced... finally someone who completely understands what I am going through! I was diagnosed with APL on May 23rd... I have wanted to do something to get out my thoughts and my feelings of my experience and you have inspired me to start my own documentary! PS Ur RAD!

  • I live in the east bay now, I totally understand your need to move back east.

  • I feel for you, i'm so glad your happy and healthy your a really strong lady to have gone through what you did.

  • jodi picoult wrote my sisters keeper and chose for kate (the one with cancer) to have that type of cancer because her daughter actually had cancer and i would assume she had that type of cancer.

  • WOW! Your so brave! I'm so happy your alive. Congrats on your 6 year mark. You are a very strong person.

  • my heart is so happy for u, because i lost 2 people in the last year...i thank god each day for people who can make it through and just get better from it. this story is why i always make references to cancer and other ways we can just be aware of it (skin, lung, etc.) anyhoo, look at you now! great style and a good heart! thank u risa!

  • So I had another installed on my right. You can still see the scar from that one. But I think it's small price to pay. That's pretty much the only visible mark from this whole ordeal I have. The weird thing about that is people see you and dont believe how sick you were/are. Even while I was still having rounds of chemo, if I covered my line people had no clue. But I tried, when I was able to anyway, to hide that I was so sick too. To this day I don't fully understand why.

  • The last one I had caused my menengies to swell.

    It was no fun to say the least. It was so painful. Like blackout, sweat like a pig painful lol. I had a neupogen shot with that round of chemo though so at least that time I wasn't neutropenic.

    I'm so thankful they used a picc line for me. I would have freaked out with a line in my neck. But we deal with it even if we think we can't. The 1st was in my left arm but that was damaged when I forgot my IV pump on a trip back from the bathroom lol.

  • Haha yeah I said the same thing to my mom about me being a vampire one day after they gave me red blood cells. She said all my high school years spent watching Buffy the vampire slayer had a purpose lol. Although the 1st transfusion I had caused a horrible reaction. All my skin swelled up with yellow & green welt marks. Had to be pre-medicated before I got any blood products after that. I forgot about the methotrexate injections I had. They pump you full of so many drugs it's hard to remember.
