I was 25 when I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia on 15th September, 2006. At first I felt lost, I was afraid. But with a lot of support from my family, friends and an online CLL support group, I grew stronger. I am now a CLL warrior, and a WonderWoman fighting against cancer. This is my story.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia is a blood cancer found more commonly among Westerner males, above the age of 50. I am a Chinese female, and was diagnosed at 25. What are the chances, really? Since then I start buying more toto. Because if I can get such a rare cancer which occurs only 1 in a million chance to someone like me, then winning 1 million dollars doesn't seem like such an impossible dream right? ^_^ Yes, I am positively optimistic. ^_~

Hello there Fayth. I found your blog through xdd's and i have to say as i read through your blog i found such similarities. i am a CML and i feel i am considered fortunate not to have gone through chemo since i was diagnosed on my 21st, 3 months after my birthday. I used to be in SGH too, block 7 ward 7 but have since moved with Prof Tan to Mount E. I am too not a straight, I am too a 1981. i totally feel for you and i think you are very very brave. God has his plans and like you have said a few times in your blog with regards to that cancer usually happens to optimistic people, i couldn't agree more. though i do not have very much understanding on CLL but i certainly wish you well and blessed. i will keep watching this space and pray for you :) take greatest care
Hi Joanne, it is a pity i cant read your blog. Would love to know more about you
Please leave me a msg where we can contact each other. How's your CML? Any chemo done yet?
Hi Fayth, actually i do not have a blog that keeps my experience of CML though it has been thus much years since diagnose. fortunately with the help of glivec and now dasatinib i am able to live life per normal that no one would be likely to tell that i am actually a victim of leukaemia. i am thankful i ain't had the hardest hit yet. though i haven't had a clearer view yet of my future as there ain't no certain answer to where the medication would bring me to but thus far my doctor has advise against bone marrow transplant as to avoid the complications of the aftermath that could likely lead to death. he said that probably the medication could be a help though he still has no idea to whether it is of 100% but i guess this is the only hope i am clinging on to. i can converse though via email but i would like to leave a private message instead so as to not disclose my email address here. if in any form of ways i can post my email address up without revealing do let me know. meanwhile, take the greatest of care pal.
just leave your email in comnment. all comments are moderated. I will delete after reading
