I too also suffered from ALL leukemia. I was Diagnosed in October2000 (age6) and off treatment in march 2003. I went to chrildrens hospital on Boston and I got a port and a feeding tube later on. Went through kemo, several doses of radiation, spinal taps and bone marrow transplants. The medicine I think was the worst part especially the effects of the predisone. I refused to take a certain medicine (forget what it was but its a liquid brown and tasted really thick) and ended up in a coma for 7days and almost didn't make it. I had to learn how to walk and use my arms again. I went for my yearly checkup yesterday at the jimmy fund in Boston and I'm now officially 10 years off of treatment. Congrats to you!
