How does it feels like to have leukemia email this discussion to a friend?

proxima14 (96)   ranked 563 out of 1,189 in cancer1 month ago

Few days ago, I found out that one of our friends has leukemia and in its terminal stage. It was a weird feeling knowing that I can't do anything to help him except pray that God extends his life so he can spend more time with his family. I cried the first time I heard about it. After some time, I can't seem to get the curiosity out of my system. I am just wondering how it feels like to be sick with leukemia. What do these patients usually think when they first hear the bad news and after it sinks in? How do they deal with it?

It is always sad when someone has cancer whether it be you or a family member,and leukemia is a pretty bad cancer,I have never had cancer and I can thank God for that but my grandmother on my dads side died from leukemia and I am not sure how she felt but she was really sick and all she could do was lay in the hospital bed,or at least that is what I remember,since I was like eight when she died,and I am not sure how anyone could deal with having a deadly disease even though if you do radiation there is always a chance of beating cancer,and I pray for all the cancer patients out there,and if there is a Relay For Life around there I would go for your friend,because they try and raise money to find a cure for cancer.

I really hope they find the cure soon as it's so hard to look at loved ones who are suffering and yet as much as we want to share their sufferings, only they know how it is.

I also wish they find a cure soon,and it is impossible to look at a loved one suffering without crying everytime,and as much as you wish you could take the pain instead of them it is impossible,and you are right only they know how much the pain hurts,even though some cancer hurts worse then other,and some cancers can be cured by doing chemotherapy even nothing is guaranteed.

I get to talk to some friends here at my workplace and some said that some people are even scared of undergoing chemotherapy saying that it "might" shorten their lives instead of help them. Some doesn't want to stay in the hospital or to be tied to treatment thinking that they might as well do something they've always wanted to do instead of getting pricked every now and then.

Yeah I know what you mean,you never know when chemotherapy is gonna help or hurt a person and no one wants to go through that and it is really sad when anyone has toocry.
