Hi, my daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia 2weeks ago totally out of the blue, no signs or symptoms, found when she had a random blood test for something else, so she has been told it’s very early stages, but that doesn’t make it any easier as the treatment is exactly the same. She turned 30 yesterday and has a 5 month old baby daughter. She has had her first weeks chemo treatment this last week and feels generally wiped out. She’s obviously feeling scared that if she feels like this now, what is she going to be like when they ramp up the treatment in the second cycle. She has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia - we’re both nurses, she is a child nurse and I’m an adult nurse, but doesn’t really help when it’s your own family- and we’re all positive in the outlook for her, I’m just looking for any tips, advice for her that maybe make life a bit easier for her as I know it’s going to be a challenge- do the symptoms last long? How did other people feel after first treatments?
Thank you
