hi

i dont know if any one can help me, but i have been diagnosed with ALL, quite rare for someone of my age. i have had all the chemotherapy and im currently in remission, but the only way to cure me is to have a stem cell transplant, which is due to start on the 29/03/12, im really worried as i don't know what to expect. ive read all the books, all the possible side affects. but still need to know if there are people with my condition at the same age?

I'm on a clinical trial, and my brother is my match for the transplant.

if there is anyone that can help me understand why me

" Hello,

I am so sorry that you have ALL. We will never know why some people become sick and I can't imagine how you must feel. Whatever it is that brings you comfort in this most difficult time in your life, do it. Put yourself first and focus on getting your health back and thinking of you first. I hope that you have support of family around you and that you are under the care of good doctors who treat ALL. It is a very complex disease. There are so many subtypes of ALL that it's hard to predict what to expect from treatment and specialists are really needed to tackle the disease. It seems like chemo did the trick which is amazing! Sadly some poeple don't get that far so I feel good about hearing you are at that point. I am wondering how you are doing? Did you get the stem cell transplant? You are young and you will be okay just keep believeing in yourself and when you want to be angry or sad, let yourself be angry and sad. I pray that you are doing okay and beating this terrible disease. Please reach out again if you need support. I am sorry there was no response from anyone sooner. May God Bless you. "
