Anyone willing to share there story about Leukemia?

I just found out that my nephew who is 21yrs old has Leukemia. We are waiting to find out which type it might be. Today he his going to have a spinal tape and a bone marrow "removal". There going to see which type he is carrying.

He is only 21 years of age. So they expect it to be A.L.L and not C.M.L.

C.M.L is what usually occurs in older people.

I know I should not be asking this question because maybe I don't want to here the answer. But what are the odds of my nephew living threw this?

His doctor is very encouraging and tells us not to worry.BUT..she is a doctor and obviously she would not be giving information that would discourage the family at this time or any time.

My wife's cousin died of this a few years ago and well it only makes me think.

So I ask.

THANKS!
