So, about 2 weeks ago my mom called me here at school and told me that my cousin was pretty sick and had the flu which made sense because I was also pretty sick and we had been around each other when I was home visiting. Anyway, neither one of us got better so we both went to the Doctor. It turned out, I had Pneumonia and they told her she just had a bad cold that possibly could turn into the same thing if she didn't take care of it. We both got our meds and such, and after about a week and a half, I was starting to get better. She, on the other hand, got much much worse. Two days ago her mother took her to the hospital here at college. They took some tests and such and sent her home. This morning the doctor called and told her to come back to the hospital immediately. It turns out, she has Leukemia (AML) and is in pretty bad shape. She's only a freshmen in highschool. She doesn't deserve this to happen to her. I'm trying to stay positive. I did some research and survival rates seem to be fairly decent, especially in recent years.
Someone tell me they've been through something like this and that it ended up being okay.

I didn't but a guy at my church had cancer. he got a bone marrow transplant and now he's more healthy than I am. I can pray for her if she wants me to, i don't know if she's religious, but it can't hurt, right? anyway, tell her that worrying w/ probably only stress her out, which will inhibit her immune system......
hey! here's an idea! i already told jamesadin this but, have her ask her doctor if he/she knows anything about olive oil treatment. a certain amount of it a day is supposed to knock of a lot of the defective parts of the cancer cells off and is supposed to work for breast cancer, but i don't know about Leukemia. just have her ask her doctor about it. he/she may not know about it because the process is probably still in the new stage, but it's worth a look into it. i'm sure that it would at least get to the Leukemia because the oil will be in the blood and Leukemia is a blood cancer, right? anyway, here's the website for it on discover.com: http://www.discover.com/issues/jun-0...-of-longevity/ it's the second article down. hope that helps!
