Due to the strong doses of chemo drugs, he developed a secondary AML leukemia (closely related to ALL) in December and he's currently doing very well in his fight.

She is 90 years old and she is too weak to receive treatment, so now she is at her home with a nurse, under palliative care only. My question is, will death from AML be too painful? Is she going to require strong painkillers, and which ones are usually prescribed?<br /> <p><i>- midnightmoon62</i><br/>Aml is not painful in the respect that you dont have a tumor pressing on anything causing pain. <br /> <br /> However, the patient will be extremely anemic. This will cause shortness of breathe. A possible cod with aml is essentially suffucating. In this case, death is very painful. <br /> <br /> Her platelet count will also be very low. Another possible cod is blood loss. If she is bleeding internally, it can be painful, especially if the bleed is in the brain. I am unsure how it would feel is she were to bleed out from a cut.<br /> <br /> Her immune system is also shot. Cod could be an infection. In which case she would probably be in septic shock by the time she died and hallucinating. <br /> <br /> Cardiac arrest, renal failure, bp dropping too low, dehydration are also possible cods. These are somewhat painful too. <br /> <br /> None of these are a pretty death, but it could be worse. It will probably come quick, with in the next few weeks. Aml is very agressive and doesnt take long to kill with out treatment. <br /> <br /> I cant be positive on what they would give in this situation, but in general aml patients are given meds like ativan, morphine, and oxycodone. The narcotic pain killers are given more because tylonal will mask a fever and these narcotics dont contain tylonal. It is very important to know if she has an infection. <br /> <br /> I know most people wont agree with me, and this may not be the path for your grandmother, but I am a full supporter of human euthanization. In this case, all pain can be avoided.</p><strong>Give your answer to this question below!</strong> Leukemia Problems Remedies | FIGHT CANCER INFO <br /> <strong><a href="http://www.gooleukemia.info/">Leukemia</a></strong> — Comprehensive overview covers symptoms, causes, risk factors, treatment of this blood-related cancer. <br /> <br /> <br /><hr /> Orignal From: <a href="http://www.gooleukemia.info/archives/is-aml-leukemia-painful.html" target=_blank>Is AML leukemia painful?</a><br /><br /> q117http://www.blogger.com/profile/17060661987857351083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868047324499842970.post-66101276673950945102011-05-25T03:15:00.007-07:002011-05-25T03:15:54.441-07:00....leukemia? <br /> <strong>....leukemia?</strong> <br /> how do doctors test for leukemia? and how long does it take to get the test results??<br /> <p><i>- peaches6</i><br/>Usually blood tests</p><p><i>- midnightmoon62</i><br/>A blood test would be the first step. They will do a complete blood count, differntial white blood count, a chem panel, and possibly acouple others. If the doc office has their own lab, it only takes 30mins to an hour.. if they have to send out, could take upwards of a week. <br /> Next step would be a blood smear, where they actually look at the blood cells by hand under a microscope. If they have their own lab, only takes about an hour. <br /> Third step and official diagnosis to determine treatment protocal is bone marrow biospy and aspirate. This is where they take a sample of your bone marrow and chip off a peice of your bone. From this point the smear the marrow, im not sure how they test the bone, but they also do dna and cytogenic testing.</p><p><i>- connie l</i><br/>complete blood count,bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.Usually theyll get preliminary result after 2-3 days</p><p><i>- Shell</i><br/>They do blood tests then a bone marrow aspiration if they still suspect leukemia.When my son was diagnosed with ALL they were pretty sure it was leukemia from his initial blood tests because all his counts were very low. the next day they did the bone marrow (after having to give him blood and platelets). We got the results that day as far as knowing it was leukemia and the next day for knowing exactly what type. the doctor had already told us he was positive it was leukemia before the bone marrow test though since they found leukemic cells in his peripheral systems (blood). either way you should know pretty fast.</p><strong>What do you think?

AML is treated initially with chemotherapy aimed at inducing a remission; patients may go on to receive additional chemotherapy or a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Recent research into the genetics of AML has resulted in the availability of tests that can predict which drug or drugs may work best for a particular patient, as well as how long that patient is likely to survive.</p><p><i>- MOHAN</i><br/>70% to 80% of acute myelogenous leukemia patients experience complete remission. In total, about 20% to 30% of patients survive and are free of AML 5 years after the diagnosis and treatment.. AML patients who have not had a relapse during this time are considered completely cured, because most relapses happen within 2 years of the AML diagnosis.<br /> <br /> Acute myelogenous leukemia patients who are under 60 years of age have a better chance of survival than those patients that are older. This is due to many factors including being able to stand the strong chemotherapy medicines that are used to treat AML. With no treatment, AML leukemia patient life expectancy is about 3 to 4 months.</p><p><i>- Wear gold for the fighters suriviors and the taken</i><br/>aw im sorry hun i hope this helps: The five-year relative survival rate (the percentage of people who survive at least five years after the cancer is detected, excluding those who die from other diseases) for children with AML is between 50% and 70%. never give up hope and its considered if you go over 5 years without a relapse your considered cured. my friend beat AML and so can he. all cancers are dangerouse but with the right treatment whoever it is can ge through it. hope it goes good hun</p><strong>Know better?

Did they say why they thought you had leukemia? They probably did check the blood test, ask them.</p><p><i>- midnightmoon62</i><br/>No, blood work doesnt always show leukemia. It can only be officially diagnosed with a bone marrow biopsy. But, they could also be checking for several other things at the same time.<br /> <br /> Dont watch the proceedure, and ask for some ativan before hand.</p><p><i>- Autumlief</i><br/>Having a high white blood cell count for 6 months, warrents a bone marrow biopsy. The biopsy will diagnose the problem of the high white count. Usually when leukemia is present, there is a very low platelet count, and low hemaglobin, also. <br /> <br /> It doesn't take long for a blood test to come back for the doctor to see the results. I'm sure he knows the results of your blood test, this is why he is doing the bone marrow. Make sure he discusses the procedure with you before he begins. Make sure you have good communication with your doctor.

Loverboy was given to me as a small kitten on Mothers day 2005, and I instantly feel in love with him the first day because he was fearless, funny, clumsy and brave and everytime I use to hold him in a comfortable way he would fall asleep and snore.

I never knew loverboy had feline leukemia until he got really really ill in early 10-06, he started having trouble breathing and his appetite changed dramatically (he was a cat that would want to eat all day if I let him and he would eat like there was no tomorrow and always beat me to the kitchen anytime he saw me headed towards it). When I took him to the vet 10-21-06 it was then that I learned he was flv+ feline leukemia virus and from that day he went downhill he stop eating didnt drink water, all he did was sleep by my foot or on my bed.

All we've been told is that Phase 4 is going to be really bad.<br /> We've been told all along that the doctors see no reason for him to have a bone marrow transplant. I've read that doctors will sometimes take the patient's bone marrow and use it later via IV to replace the destroyed marrow. But everything else I can find talks about donors and such.<br /> <br /> There doesn't seem to be any info on the process of destroying the marrow and the side effects during this phase of treatment. That's what I'm interested in.<br /> <p><i>- inverse_mushroom_cloud</i><br/>I believe he has to have a bone marrow / stem cell transplant. When they kill off the existing marrow, something has to be used to seed the new marrow. They can use the person's own stem cells (autologous transplant) or someone else's.<br /> <br /> Did they tell you there would be no transplant?<br /> <br /> Poster, if they take his own marrow and put it back in that's a transplant. Why the thumb down? That's just a fact.</p><p><i>- midnightmoon</i><br/>Your bf needs to schedule a consultation apt with the docs and have them explain exactly what will happen. Write down all of your questions so that you dont forget anything, and either write down the answers or voice record the apt.<br /> <br /> It actually does sound like a bone marrow transplant, but autologuos instead of allogenic. Allogenic is the term used when donor stem cells are used, autologous is the term used when they use their own stem cells are used. Some patients can use their own stem cells if the marrow is disease free at the time the cells are taken. <br /> <br /> The process is the same as a transplant with a donor, except they wont be using a donor. The transplant should engraft sooner than with a donor, and risks of graft v host disease are almost nonexistent.<br /> <br /> Auto transplants are common with all, and I think this is what they are doing because you say they are going to completly destroy his marrow. If they are destroying his marrow, it HAS to be replaced by something else because it is completely destroyed, it rarely comes back on its own. <br /> <br /> If the previous treatment has shown good results and his status is remission, his marrow is disease free and can be used for his own transplant. They will harvest his cells - probably by aphersis - and they sort of "clean" them to make sure there are no leukemia cells in them, and then they are reinfused, they make their way to the bone, engraft, and start growing marrow again.<br /> <br /> IF this is what they are doing, they will give him high dose chemo and radiation called total body irradiation to destroy his marrow. He will be left with no immune system until the new cells engraft so risk of infection is high. <br /> <br /> If is a VERY harsh process, even when using your own cells, and it comes with a long recovery period. <br /> <br /> Your bf needs to clarify if this is what is going to happen or not. If it is, the risk of infection along with the risks of relapse need to be discussed and considered. My transplant was originally going to be auto as well, but I am aml, not all and I was in my second remission. Since I was in my second remission, chances of an eventual relapse with an auto transplant was high, and because of a complication specific to my case they werent sure if auto was appropriate, so I ended up using a donor.</p><p><i>- HOTSTAR</i><br/>treatment of ALL depends on its subtype -commonly L2 and B cells type in adults.

And it is terrible to see the patient suffer. and it is not that the cancer gets eradicted. my frnd's sister died of leukemia 2 years ago. She had a bone marrow transplant . The cancer went away but after 2 months it returned and she was in worse shape. She died a painful death. and it was heart breaking to see my frnd during those tough times. So i'd like to know if there are other ways to cure malignant tumours.<br /> <p><i>- FJM</i><br/>This is difficult to answer as each cancer has to be treated differently. A diagnose of cancer is not a death sentence, automatically. Some time surgery can correct or halt the growth. Sometimes radiation ( a special xray type) can cure it.<br /> A malignancy in the head means that the cancer has traveled from some place else, meaning there was a primary site some where else in the body. I do have to say sometimes it seems like the treatment is worse that the cure. Oncologist are the Doctors who specialize in cancer and blood disorders. Cancers are so terrible as it takes a Poison into the body to kill the bad cells, of course often times they kill the good cells also. Hope this helps honey.</p><p><i>- gangadharan_nair</i><br/>Cancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy or other methods. The choice of therapy depends upon the location and grade of the tumor and the stage of the disease, as well as the general state of the patient (performance status). A number of experimental cancer treatments are also under development.<br /> Complete removal of the cancer without damage to the rest of the body is the goal of treatment. Sometimes this can be accomplished by surgery, but the propensity of cancers to invade adjacent tissue or to spread to distant sites by microscopic metastasis often limits its effectiveness. The effectiveness of chemotherapy is often limited by toxicity to other tissues in the body. Radiation can also cause damage to normal tissue.<br /> Because "cancer" refers to a class of diseases, it is unlikely that there will ever be a single "cure for cancer" any more than there will be a single treatment for all infectious diseases.<br /> Please see the web pages for more details on Cancer.</p><p><i>- Panda</i><br/>Chemotherapy is only one modality or one part of treatment. The reasoning behind chemotherapy is that it is systemic, which means it is given through an IV directly into the blood stream. The goal is to kill any microscopic malignant cells that you cannot see . .the ones that have broken off from the larger tumors and are now spreading through the body . . this is called metastatic cancer. Metastatic cancer can travel through the blood stream and the lymphatic system and set up whole new cancers anywhere within the body. This is what makes cancer deadly, the spread and than the inability to locate and find metastatic disease before it invades other organs. Chemotherapy targets those malignant cells (which can measure in the hundreds and thousands, if not millions of malignant cells in the body). Without chemotherapy a patient with stage IV disease has little chance to survive after those hundreds of cells begin to grow. In the past the body was so quickly overwhelmed that few patients lived past a few months. Today there are hundreds of different types of chemotherapy . . and depending on the type of tumor and the stage of disease the chemotherapy will be different. Some chemo is extremely toxic to kill off aggessive and relentless disease . .however there is no guarantee that the chemo will work for each individual. So different combinations are used in hopes of stopping the spread of cancer. There is no cure for cancer . . so it is always, always a chance.<br /> <br /> Early stages of cancer can sometimes be treated with just surgery and radiation . but than no one knows if a few malignant cells escaped detection or not. Systemic chemotherapy has a chance of eliminating cancer that you cannot find . . but it doesn't always get where it needs to go . .which is why some people fail with the chemo. Chemotherapy is always a chance. But, used with surgery, radiation, and other types of treatment a patient has the best chance of surviving.<br /> <br /> I'm sorry about your friend. Research at the moment is concentrating on finding chemo drugs that are effective and less toxic in the long run to the human body. There have been some success in some cancers . . enough that some cancers are being treated as a chronic disease where a person will take medication to control the cancer. (Much the way that diabetics take insulin to control their disease).<br /> <br /> And, I must tell you that you are wrong about chemotherapy. My son was 17 at diagnosis and had tumors the size of volley balls scattered within the abdomen. He had five high dose chemotherapy drugs for over nine months. He was not expected to survive even the first month . . but he did . . he responded significantly to chemotherapy and his tumors shrunk 75 percent in the first three months. This was enough to allow him to become a candidate for surgery. He is still fighting over two years later . . and I can assure you that chemotherapy has played a HUGE part in him still being with us. Chemotherapy is not perfect, nor is the whole solution, but it does stem the spread of disease, it does shrink tumors, and it can bring cancer under control. The best treatment however, still is complete surgical removal when possible. But chemotherapy has its place too.</p><p><i>- TweetyBird</i><br/>My friend, you got two very good answers to your question but, please, read on.<br /> <br /> For some, chemo IS the solution. There's no automatic guarantee that there will be hair loss, suffering or vomiting. These side effects don't happen to everyone who chooses chemo and they don't happen with every round of chemo. You used your friend's sister death as support for your statement that cancer doesn't get "eradicated". The young woman had a BMT which, as you know, is not chemo.<br /> <br /> Friend, I've had a similar experience to yours when a friend's brother went through BMT and died anyway. My father died of cancer. An uncle died of cancer. Some of my patients die of cancer. No one HAS to have chemo. Every person in this country has the right to refuse treatment. But if chemo is agreed to, they are thoroughly drilled on what they may expect. Even then, a person can change his or her mind and at any time during treatment. <br /> <br /> I, too, would like to see no more pain and suffering but until that day, let us use whatever means we have at hand.<br /> <br /> P.S. There is also "seeding" for certain types of cancer.</p><p><i>- charlie</i><br/>No there is no other treatment once the cancer has progressed or spread thru the body. I wish there was, then my Mum who died 4 weeks ago would still be here.

Fever is a condition of feeling uncomfortable with the body temperature. It is a condition evident when somebody has Malaria, Flu, Typhoid, etc. Another symptom is body weaknesses that appear so exaggerated. For more information visit<br /> http://www.readyourarticles.com/Art/4385/285/What-Are-Causes-and-Treatment-of-Leukemia-Cancer.html</p><p><i>- J.S.</i><br/>First, if you feel you have symptoms that are not right, SEE A PHYSICIAN, no one here on Yahoo! Answers can diagnose you. See a physician before anything gets worse - cancer isn't something to mess around with.<br /> <br /> It depends on what type of leukemia a patient has. Some are chronic leukemias that may go on for years before diagnosis, and others are acute leukemias that must be diagnosed immediately and treated within the first 48 hours. The most common chronic leukemia are CLL and less common CML. Both chronic leukemias are most common in older adults and rare in children. Children, more often, are diagnosed with an acute leukemia - most commonly ALL. AML is more rare than ALL and also found mostly in people over the age of 50.<br /> <br /> I have met many children with ALL over the last 2 1/2 years but I know more about AML - the two are closely related. My 2 1/2 year old son E was diagnosed with a Wilms' Tumour as a newborn, won his battle, and was recently diagnosed with Secondary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). AML is related to ALL but is still quite different. His cancer is most likely a secondary cancer caused by the chemotherapy his first time when he fought Wilms. E somehow passed his screenings he has every 3 months back in October but in the end of November we started to notice he wasn't quite himself, and he was diagnosed December 19th.<br /> <br /> There are lots of symptoms of leukemia but each individual is different. Some display some symptoms while others display other ones. There's no actual tumour as in other cancers but leukemia is a cancer of the cells that create blood cells. E had a cold in November that he just couldn't kick. We took him to the doctor and he was given an antibiotic. He got a little better but as soon as he finished the antibiotic he got sick again. He usually has a couple bruises here and there since he is a 2 year old. His walking was greatly affected from one of the drugs in his first chemo cocktail so he trips and falls pretty often. But the bruising he had was more than usual - he bruised at the slightest bump. That's when we really knew something was wrong and took him to the doctor again. Once he was diagnosed we found out that his spleen and liver were enlarged - also symptoms of leukemia. Due to the extent of enlargement of his spleen, he had it removed after a round of chemotherapy. So far he has had 3 strong doses of induction chemo and 3 consolidation rounds, on his 4th, and he's labeled as being in remission! He still has 2-4 rounds of consolidation chemo left just to make sure all of the cancerous cells are gone. He will also have a bone marrow transplant when a donor becomes available.<br /> <br /> He had some joint pain at the time of diagnosis. I have to say I didn't really think too much of the joint pain because he doesn't walk well due to one of the previous chemotherapy drugs he had - Vincristine. Because of Vincristine his leg muscles are weaker and he walks with "slapfoot" or "dropfoot" and he trips and falls fairly often. I figured his joint pain was because of falling but since his diagnosis I now see that it was probably because of the leukemia. On treatment he has had a significant amount of bone and joint pain, especially early on. When it's clear that he is in pain, he does get pain meds to help. I think the painkillers do help him but I think even then he does have some pain but duller than without painkillers.<br /> <br /> A leukemia diagnosis is absolutely not a death sentence. It's treatable but you have to keep in mind that it does take lives. I know many children and adults that have gone on to live completely normal lives after getting their No Evidence of Disease (NED) status. Sometimes a patient does relapse but it is absolutely possible that he or she can reach remission and eventually NED status.<br /> <br /> I hope this helped you out some.

Cats with Feline Leukemia give birth to FeLv+ kittens. So it could be he's had it since birth and symptoms showed up now.

causes a bad immune system? <br /> <strong>What causes a bad immune system?</strong> <br /> My brother is 3 y/o and was recently diagnosed with AML (Leukemia) . The leukemia made his immune system weak which is easy for him to get sick and an infection which is not good for his condition. <br /> I was just wondering how can cancer worsen your immune system to fight away bacteria?<br /> <p><i>- Someone's mom</i><br/>immune system is working tirelessly on the leukemia, and therefore renders the patient immunocompromised.<br /> <br /> Can ask the doc how best to enhance his immune system. I believe in echinecia for healthy people coming down with flu, colds, etc. Vit C does also. But he has a very specific condition so do ask doc. CAn also ask at health food store.</p><p><i>- Ramón B</i><br/>Hi, people don't have a "bad" immune system, they just have it weak.There are many causes that weaken our immune system:<br /> <br /> 1. Overdosing on sugar:<br /> Intake of high amounts of sugar for a prolonged period of time can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs by 40 percent. The immune-suppressing effect of sugar starts less than thirty minutes after ingestion and may last for five hours.<br /> <br /> 2. Excessive alcohol drinking<br /> Excessive alcohol drinking can harm the body's immune system in two ways<br /> a) It produces an overall nutritional deficiency, depriving the body of valuable nutrients.<br /> b) Excessive alcohol drinking can reduce the ability of white cells to kill germs, and suppress the ability of the white blood cells to multiply causing intoxication resulting in suppressed immunity and liver infection.<br /> <br /> 3. Food allergens<br /> The immune system recognizes an otherwise harmless substance as a foreign invader and attacks it, causing an allergic reaction. Before the battle, the intestinal lining was like a wall impenetrable to foreign invaders. After many encounters with food allergens, the wall is damaged, enabling invaders and other potentially toxic substances in the food to get into the bloodstream and make the body feel fatigued.<br /> <br /> 4. Intake high amounts of saturated and trans fats<br /> Obesity can lead to a weakened immune system. It can affect the ability of white blood cells to multiply, produce antibodies, and prevent inflammation.<br /> <br /> 5. Inadequate amount of sleep<br /> An inadequate amount of sleep can lead to a depressed immune system. Our body requires sleep to restore it's depleted energy during sleeping and allows white blood cells to re- strengthen themselves.<br /> <br /> 6. Vitamin, nutrition and mineral deficiency<br /> Vitamin, nutrition and mineral deficiency reduce the oxygen levels in the bloodstream which are essential to our body's cells and increases the risk of inflammation of the prostate, liver, etc<br /> <br /> Wish I could help you !<br /> Good Luck !</p><p><i>- ricky85296</i><br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cTJZrCy98A<br /> <br /> Watch this video, and then send me an e-mail if you want to meet someone how has survived cancer.<br /> <br /> Yes it really works.</p><strong>What do you think?

I don't know that it is you are taking, but it sounds like Kenalog which is a form of steroid to improve your overall condition to make your strong enough to withstand more kinds of treatment. Based on your side effects only, that is my guess. You would have to discuss that with your doctor though. Right now, don't even worry about your weight gain. That will pass. Just concentrate on healing and have a positive attitude about it. You do need to tell your doctor about your rash though.</p><p><i>- woodtigerdp</i><br/>do a search for Royal Raymond Rife it might be worth it it might be nothing but worth a try......for life.</p><p><i>- lividuva</i><br/>what type of leukaemia do you have?
