Liz's fight against Leukemia
My beautiful and kind sister, Liz, has been dealt some pretty devastating news. She has a very rare form of Leukemia, APL or Acute promyelocytic leukemia. It is a fast moving, but very treatable, form of Leukemia.
How did they find it?
June 18th she wasn't feeling well and went to the Dr who did some routine blood tests. The tests revealed very low white blood cell counts, she was sent to the ER immediately. By the 20th she had an appointment with an oncologist. She had more blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy on June 30th. On July 5th, the results of the tests revealed Liz had APL Leukemia. That night she was admitted into OHSU Hopital in Portland Oregon for treatment.
What is APL?
Acute promyelocytic leukemia is a very rare cancer of the white blood cells. It is very aggressive, but highly treatable if caught early. Thankfully, Liz's was caught early.
Treatment:
Liz is in the hospital for 30+ days undergoing Chemo and having lots of other medications to kill off her white blood cells. She does not have an immune right now and must be kept safely away from anyone who is ill.
After her hospital stay, she will have 8 months of Chemo at home.
Liz has a very long road ahead of her. She has to have blood transfusions, bone marrow biopsies, and lots of hospital and Dr visits. The most important information is APL has a 70% - 90% successful treatment rate.
