I would really like to find support from others that have a parent with cancer. I guess it is to show myself that I am not alone in this battle to keep my father here with me for alot longer.hey, my name is nicole && my dad has cancer too (AML). he is 49 years old. just had his birthday in febuary. we found out he has AML like at the end of november. he went in for chemotherapy && was there for 45 days. he is getting a bone marrow transplant soon. the doctors haven't given a exact date yet. i'm 15 years old && i have a brother who is 17. it's hard for me && my brother because, we are really close with our dad. i even say i have a better realtionship with my dad then i do with my mom. when my dad found out he had cancer the doctors said that 90% of his body was filled with kuekemia cells but, after he got chemo && everything there was only 20%. i know what your going through.message back, thanks (: Nicky92 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT Do they seem know anything about what causes this leukemia? send your # and I will call you. or e-mail me directly, I am PS time. --- Message edited by CancerCompass staff: for personal protection, email address removed.
