Husband in remission from Hairy Cell Leukaemia but has 6 month check tomorrow. My son was also diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia earlier this year

My husband is in remission from Hairy cell leukaemia but tomorrow has an appointment to see his consultant for the 6 months check I really hope it hasn't come back.

It will be a year since his diagnosis. In April this year 2024 my son 19 year old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. We are undergoing treatment at a hospital in London. I'm feeling overwhelmed with things. My son and husband are my world and at the moment my life feels like a roller coaster..so worried and feel like I'm living in a whirlwind every thing is upside down. Nothing else matters x

  • How did your husband get on at his appointment yesterday Levante? I hope everything went well and the results showed that the cancer hasn't returned.

    Also, how is your son getting on with his treatment? I really do hope it is going well, although I'm so sorry for everything you and your family are going through.

  • Thank you for your lovely message x

  • Hubbie needs a CT scan to check things as he has symptoms again and another blood test. Just hope it hasn't returned just yet as this is way too much if so.

    I'm trying to stay positive 

    A very challenging time indeed.
