Leukemia - lots of questions

Hi,

I haven't been around in a while.  Lots of major changes in my life, which are wonderful, but I guess maybe a little stressful for my body!  Just had some bloodwork done and the counts look pretty weird.  I am in to see an oncologist this afternoon and I will know more.  However, I know that the primary treatment is chemo and maybe radiation, and I want to hit the ground running with another approach.  Can anyone talk about their experiences and point me in some good directions?

Thanks,

Sarah

    Just catching up with this Sarah!!!!! (((HUGS))) I also just read your first three blogposts, and I'm blown away. I'm sending healing thoughts and much love your way! And I wanted to second this:

    "Sarah, you sound strong, like water."

    I'm thinking of you and your family, and just astounded and inspired by your strength and your ability/willingness to flow like water.

    Much love to you!

    I am doing well.  I completed my course of chemo; I wasn't confident of the resources available to me to avoid that approach.  AML is really fast moving and I was dying faster than I could try to heal myself.  I have had the last biopsy.  We are still waiting on the pathologists final report, but the preliminary results are positive and that's what the oncologist expects.  His exact words were "I am confident that it will be clear."  I guess I am out of that excuse and free lasagnas now!  Probably a good thing; lasagna isn't so good for me.
