Pat, I do not know how you can remain positive with a leukemia diagnosis. I hope you have family and friends to support you and that your treatments are working.
I got my blood tests on Thursday, Except for a past showing of Whooping cough, I was clear. This still shocks me as everything I am reading on line suggests a malignancy somewhere, I have been refereed on to an Infectious Specialist at a hosital for a March 10th appt. Maybe he can trace this fever. I showed no signs of an infection or sme diseases such as Ross River, Glandular, basic cancer (raised white blood cells) but I hear many cancers are not diagnosed by blood tests.
In the mean time, it is my ritual of evening and all thru the night low grade fever and needing to be in bed 12+ hours. Something is wrong.
How are you managing your leukemia? How did you get diagnosed?
I have made some contacts within my home community but it isn't easy, Most are married to Aussies and I am single, divorced a long time, No one seems to want to make new friends at this age (I'll be 57 in March) and no one wants a third wheel.
Life is not happy.
I am sorry you are ill.
