In 1968 i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and in 2005 i was diagnosed with chronic Lymphatic Leukemia. When i was told bout it i was a little shocked because i thought cancer and death. The doctor continued to tell me what it involved.
At the time i was with my boyfriend David who found it a shock too and couldnt get his head round it.
We took each day as it come and luckly nothing happened.
In Oct 2007 my partner died of liver cancer and really worried me whether i could pick it up geneticly. In January this year i started to notice large glands swelling both on my left and right neck i was told when i visited the doctor that my white blood cells were increasing at enormous rates and that it was necessary to be started on a course of chemo, once a month to a maximum of six to eight months depending on the action it takes to kill infections.
Of the two courses i have taken, they have made me feel ill that i had to leave work at the end of one of the courses.
At the end of the second course i felt sick again and then during the month that followed, late Aug early- Sept 2009 my glands started swelling up in more places round the neck and left ear. Then towards the end of the last week of August glands appeared and in more pain across the right shoulders giving it a firy feeling. Then alot of itching occured on my chest parts of my groin and blotches of red spot appeared on my legs and cos i was feeling very nuasea i couldnt eat any food. I understood in the book about Lymphrasites that glands can swell up real bad causing the risk of breathing. I got myself down to hospital on bank holiday evening, a very busy evening. As my temperature was very high and i had type1 diabetes they dicided to keep me in. For weeks the hospital/GP were giving me crap lotions for my skin complaint and the tablets i was given with the chemo, to be taken everyday wernt taking away the nuasea or my pains in the shoulders. In the end a doctor prescribed a stronger body cream and scalp liquid. A further doctor prescibed antibiotics, two days later. Cos of my continuous feeling of nausea i couldnt eat and became bed bound the remaining week and continuing into this week, 7th September 2009 will the help of antibiotics and body cream.
