My Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Journey

In October 2024 I was a full-time working mum and wife one minute and then diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.
I admit I had been feeling really exhausted and feeling like I was going to pass out.
I’d had a routine blood test done and my iron had come back very high, which should have been a red flag, as I’m a vegetarian and my iron is always  low. My haemoglobin was also really high.
My then doctor, brushed my results off and told me ‘not to worry about it and just have another blood test in 4 weeks’. 
A few days later I decided I wouldn’t wait and had the blood test. I received a call the next morning telling me to get to the RAH immediately and that I wouldn’t be going home!
So within 24 hours I found out I had Leukaemia.
Within a couple of hours I had meet the Haematology Team and was told they would do a bone marrow biopsy and start treatment. 
My journey begins…
