brother with Burkitt's Lymphoma
| Mon, 02-25-2008 - 9:23pm |
Just wondering if there is anyone out there who has a family member or friend with burkitt's lymphoma?
My 20 year old brother was diagnosed last friday.
I guess I'm just looking for other people who have had experience with this cancer.
My father has said it is a rare and very dangerous cancer yet my mother (who i think is trying to be optimistic) says that everything is fine and it is not a big deal. I live quite far away and at this point I am not allowed to visit so it's hard to find out the truth. I'm not allowed to talk to my brother either because he is constantly hallucinating from the chemo and the drugs they are giving him.
Again, just wondering what other people have experienced with this cancer?
I hope this makes a little bit of sense. I'm just confused and scared more than anything right now.
Thanks!

Welcome to the board.
I hesitated to say much about this type of cancer and the course of action my Dr took
his white blood cell count is really high (finally) and they were going to let him go home this weekend. but something is making him super sick again....ah well..he'll get over it :) (and i mean that in a nice way!)
