Nephew has Leukemia

[dalesys]

Found out Wednesday that one of my favorite nephews has B cell ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). He's 26, a great musician, cute wife and a six month old son.

He's looking at 3-4 weeks of in-hospital chemo and probably three years more out-patient.

He's in my thoughts.

[Cookie]

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear this. Praying for him and sending good thoughts his way!

[kansasgal]

So sorry to hear this, I will be keeping him in my thoughts

[Sheldonrs]

Good thoughts and prayers from me as well.

[Seraph]

<hugs> will be praying for him and your family. I am so sorry to hear about this.

[MoonCat]

So sorry. Hope everything goes well and he's soon feeling better!

[Sandman]

hoping and praying for a match

[Mishi]

Praying for him and his/your family, I hope that he gets better as soon as possible.

Crap. I am sending good thoughts. My aunt had leukemia, but kicked butt and recovered.

I'm very sorry to hear about your nephew, dalesys...I hope he makes a speedy recovery and stays healthy for a long time.

So sorry to hear. This might interest him as well when he's in hospital (or out of it)

It was a game created by a kid in hospital as part of MAW.

My ebil sister rejoicing. Notice the logo on her smock!
And I didn't get any "Greetings" from Uncle or get to sit with Group W!

and I had to buy an electric razor to keep the t*** polished.

Nephew's lymphoblasts have been considerably reduced by the chemo.

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Glad to hear about your nephew...I hope he continues to improve.

And yes, we sisters are ebil.

I shave Rugz's head with the dog clippers too, they're much faster!

Glad to hear that the chemo is going well, I hope everything keeps getting better.
