Hi there, my name is Gail, and my son who is 21 has just been diagnost with lgl leukemia, they (the doc's) say it is the better varaint of the type that he has. We just three weeks in the hospital, 2 to find out what was going on and one to figure out what type and what treatment. So now he is home and on a once a week chemo pill and a steriod and pain meds.we have to get his blood drawin once a week, for 4 wks, then drive back to San Francisco to see his doc there. In the mean time i am told that he is very suseptible to getting sick because of the immune system being so week. I AM SCARED, and God only knows how he is feeling inside. This came out of nowhere. My son has already survived a gun shot wound to the chest when he was 13. now he is hit with this. I was hoping to get some insight on what to expect in the weeks to come and what his future holds for him with this disease. Any information you have to share is greatly appreciated as we are just starting learn and absorb this. Thank you all and God Bless each and all.
