Hi, on the 15th May this year my 26 year old daughter was rushed to hospital after just five days of feeling unwell. The doctors thought she had sepsis and due to Coronavirus she was taken on her own in the ambulance. Later that evening we got a call to say she has leukaemia. Her white cell count was a staggering 216. By the next day she was on a ventilator and fighting for her life. I’m pleased to say that after her first round of chemotherapy she is now home and waiting for her bone marrow biopsy on Thursday. Fingers crossed she will be in introductory remission. She had so many plans, holidays, a wedding next year, but all has been put on hold. As a mum I felt and still feel quite useless. I can normally fix anything any of my four girls need but in this case all I can do is make sure appointments, medication etc are all sorted. I’m so angry that this has happened. I’m a strong believer that anything that happens, anyone we meet and choices we make are for a reason but this, this has got me. Are there any other parents out there feeling this way?
Hi again, good to see you have navigated to this corner, I had a different type of blood cancer so I will leave it to the group members to come along but I always happy to listen and help as best as I can.
