If a child has Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia cancer (ALL) can they continue with school?

---

Just wondering if it would be a good idea for my daughter to continue with school whilst she was getting her chemo done? Or would it stress her out?
ALL is the most common form of blood cancer for people under 20. I'm 36 and was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma last January...in remission since April. I also work for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and my co-worker has an 11-year-old with ALL. He's been going through treatment for over 4 years. He also came down with the swine flu.

The problem with schools is that they are not constant on using Lysol on doorknobs and desktops. Kids pass germs so quickly and easily. Your daughter's immune system is being compromised right now so she has a better chance of picking up a virus, so you might want to think about keeping her home until after the flu season is over. After that, she will hopefully be strong enough to fight off the secondary viruses out there.

It's either that or send her to school with hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes, insisting that she wipe down every door knob, toilet handle, and desk before coming in contact with them. It's sounds extreme, but it's necessary when you have a compromised immune system.  (+ info)

I have to research 'acute lymphocytic leukemia'. Does anyone know anything about it? ?

---

I'm researching acute lymphocytic leukemia and I need to know about treatment in severe cases when a bone marrow transplant is needed. When would the decision to carry out a transplant be made? What sought of bone marrow transplant waould take place. Also how long would treatment take before a bone marrow transplant would be administered? How long is treatment after having the bone marrow transplant?
Im getting really confused and I need as much help and information as possible.
http://www.marrow.org is the National Marrow Donors Program and I believe someone already posted the link to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

My leukemia is a different type, but the transplant itself tends to be the same for most people. The type of transplant used will depend on factors such as relapse rates, is the person is able to harvest their own peripheral blood stem cells and if they have a matching donor in the registry, if they are young enough that they have their own cord blood stored, or currently, if they are older, if they qualify for any of the dual cord blood transplant trials. The specific type of transplant used can change a couple things, but the transplant is more or less the same regardless.

The transplant is a very long treatment. Most patients are inpatient for about 6 weeks, and in daily out patient care for another 6 weeks and the average time period for full recovery is around one year.  (+ info)

acute lymphocytic lukemia how far along can you have it before too late?

---

Whens it just in time? Whens it too late?
ALL is an acute leukemia. That means that it is very quick to develop and progresses quickly. The acute leukemias (ALL & AML) are treated as medical emergencies and treatment begins within 48 hours of diagnosis. The acute leukemias may be lethal within 6 weeks when not treated. My son started to show symptoms (which turned out to be secondary AML leukemia) in early December of last year. He was diagnosed on December 19th and began chemotherapy within 36 hours.

However, if it's a chronic leukemia, treatment may not begin at all at the time of diagnosis. Since the chronic leukemias are so slow to progress, they often are detected through routine blood tests even though there are no symptoms present. Treatment will begin when symptoms start to appear and become a problem.

I hope this helps you out some. If you have any more questions or anything, feel free to email me ([email protected]) or IM me (crazycanuckj).  (+ info)

Please help? How does Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia progress in a person? I need to know what happens.?

---

I just don't know and can't seem to get info on this particular type of Leukemia that my 80 year old husband has.
I'm sorry to hear your husband's diagnosis, I hope he's doing alright. You may ask his doctor about the progression, I'm sure he or she will know more than anyone here.

I know more about the acute leukemias, especially AML, but I can tell you a little bit about CLL. CLL is a slowly progressing form of leukemia, hence the term chronic. It may go on for months or even years without symptoms or being noticed. It's often found in routine blood tests. It's extremely rare in general, but when it occurs, it's mostly in adults over the age of 55. It almost never occurs in children and is extremely rare for younger adults. Over 2/3 of CLL patients are men. There is no cure for CLL and it often goes untreated. It's a very slowly progressing leukemia and often will not show any symptoms until later on. When it does, symptoms may or may not be treated based on the patient's wishes. Then, there is a possibility that he may be put into clinical trials if you both agree that's what is best. I don't know his condition right now but based on your husband's age, he may live the rest of his life and never have any problems caused by the CLL.

I hope this helps you out some and I hope nothing but the best for you and your husband. If you have any more questions feel free to email me ([email protected]) or send me an IM (crazycanuckj).  (+ info)

Is there a natural remedy/cure for lymphocytic colitis (a rare form of colitis)?

---

I have a rare form of colitis, called lymphocytic colitis. The doctors say it is in remission, but I still always feel ill, as if I am not in remission. I have tried all the medications there are. Does anyone know of a natural cure/remedy for this? Or even just for normal colitis?
Drinking several 1 ounce doses throughout the day of aloe vera juice - get at local health store. You may want to invest in the gallon containers.

Getting good strains of probiotics preferably pre-refrigerated - at local health store.
