I was diagnosed with Leukemia(ALL) in May of 2006. I had just gotten married a short time before that. I spent 3 months straight in the hospital when I first got it. After those first 3 months I was in the hospital for 2-3 weeks every month following. My wife and I divorced, I lost my job, and later my health insurance. There was unending stress.I've gone into remisson and pray it never comes back. Although the mental wounds never seem to heal from it. And I have been suffering with severe depression since. Living each day is a struggle that I don't have the answer of how to get through...I'm alone, lonely, and have practically no supporters to help me through. I'll be lucky if I make it to my next birthday the way things are going.

" Er...

I can't relate to what your going through, but I would say atleast you went into remission, because i had a brother, older, that died from ALL, and I was 13 at the time, 16 1/2 now.... and i can definitely relate to the depression and mental pains of death etc.

I want to say something supportive, but im not sure if i can, knowing what your situation is. "
