Cancer Support for my family who is dealing with AML Leukemia that my brother in law has?
He was first diagnosed in April of 2006, he under went extensive Chemo then, it lasted about 1 year and the cancer returned he just recently had stem cell transplant in August, after his 100th day biopsy they said the cancer is back again, he is having another biopsy today and then will have his appointment on Thursday to go over what options might be available, we are a very close family and feel so helpless, I am asking for anyone who knows of support groups we can turn to. and if anyone has any idea's of things we as a family can do for them, christmas is just not the same for us either, does anyone have any ideas of something special we could do for them to help with the holidays? I am reaching out for any help we can get. Please

My wife went through a bout with colon cancer about a year ago and she is much better now. If you have not already, I would HIGHLY recommend going to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN...they are miracle workers. While my wife was treating there she was able to stay at a place call Hope Lodge sponsored by the American Cancer Society. This helped her a great deal because she could talk to other people going through the same thing. Also, as long as treating for cancer, the room is no cost. I am not aware of a national or local support group for leukemia support but you may want to check the phone book or an Internet search. God bless and good luck.

As a surviving spouse of a cancer victim, I know how difficult treatment can be emotionally, financially, physically, and spiritually. I would recommend you contact the social worker at the center where he is receiving treatment. Social workers can be a great resource for families in your situation. Also, the clergy can provide spiritual and emotional support in your time of need. The American Cancer Society is also a resource you can turn to for information, support groups, and other resources.
The best thing you can do for your brother-in-law and family is provide continuing love and support! I will pray for your family!

Hi chappy_25_99
Don't give up hope. There is evidence that Vitamin D and its analogues can help with this condition.
Please look at the links below. They may not be the exact answer to the problem, but may provide clues.
Best of luck to you and your family.
