Question:
How should i spend the rest of my short life?
I think i just became emo. ><
Answers:
i just got diagnosed with leukemia 3 weeks ago so i know how you feel. just think positive. they know a lot more about the disease now then they did like 10 years ago so there is a really good possibility that you will be okay. thats what the doctors keep telling me. you just have to tell yourself that they are telling you the truth and just try to be happy. the happier you are the better you feel and i know its tough. some days you have more energy than you do other days but just think positively and you will be okay.
im praying like everyday that i will be okay, and i'll pray for you too. its really hard, and for a while i was in denial and i started losing a lot of my hair a couple days ago. i just finished my first round of chemo so thats a good thing :D
just tell yourself everything will be okay. :D
well depending on your prognosis i would see a good oncologist and fight!!! Don't give up, live life to the fullest, get your affairs in order and spend time with ur family. Do everything you want to do!
why short life?
don't give up til the fat lady sings, and she is hoarse this week.
Good luck and God Bless
Sorry About that. Enjoy everysingle day as it was the the last.
I'm very sorry to hear about this. THis is hard new for anyone at any age to deal with.
Live your life to the fullest. and remember doctors aren't always right.. have you gotten a second oppinion?
My cousin is verrrrrrrrrrrrrry ill, and doctors told him he had 6 months to live...that was 6 years ago. So try not to stress about it, i know, hard to do..but know there will be Lots of people praying for you, and this is no better time to step up and enjoy yourself b/c your life is precious..don't waste it on fearing the inevitable.
Good luck and god bless...
I'm sorry for your situation. I'm not familiar with this type of Leukemia. Have you been diagnosed as terminal? And how short are we talking about?
If you are married or have kids you should" get you ducks in a row" by this I mean your finances, wills, written letters or memo for each. You should "live your life while your alive" by this I mean how you would anyways, enjoying all the beautiful things around you, music, foods, people, trees, butterflies, puppies, you get it. Don't spend your final days just dying.
Have you checked with HOSPICE, they are invaluable to patients and their families. Full of helpful information too.I f you are terminal, your Dr. can connect you to Hospice in your area. My friend has had Leukemia for at least a year now, and even though she has to take alot of expensive meds, she is living for today and raises her children and focuses on positive things.
God be with you!!
Yeh right, youre just another spolit suburb kid who can't stop moaning.
There is treatment for this type of common leukemia. You should find out as much information as possible about the disease and treatment options. Search out support groups of people who also have this disease, they can help you through this journey and point you in the right direction.

Lots of people survive Leukemia and live long lives.
Are you doing chemotherapy? I warn you, it sucks, but when I went through it I was smoking so much pot that I didn't notice how much it sucked.
Be strong.
Situations like this make you realize just how tough you are.
You should raise and train gerbils, and then take the show around the world. Trust me, plenty of people find gerbil trainer's extremely sexy, so maybe you could have a child before your death.
don't say "short life".
now you have a longer life to live.. You will have to fight this battle and win it...
God Bless you and i wish you so much luck..
you will beat it.
Do go to a oncologist who specializes in leukemia.My husband has a form of leukemia CLL, and I have gone to many support groups with him where there are people who have CML.DO NOT give up. New treatments are being discovered.At our group, many have tried the new treatments and they are living very full lives...Please contact the Leukemia and Lymphoma Center and find out where there are good support groups, and join one..I will be thinking of you and wishing you good luck.
