So from what I understand she had a common side effect of Stem cell treatment following chemo that causes the blood vessels in the liver to rupture. It's bad but treatable except for the worst cases. Any of the doctors here know anything about VOD? Isn't it a bit early in the day to be drunkposting? VVVV Eifert Posting fucked around with this message at 16:13 on May 31, 2015 |

Stem cell treatment is pretty intense and involves taking out the stem cells first and then nuking your body so hard with extreme chemo that it can't recover without your previously harvested cells (or someone else's cells, in some cases). It is essentially as close to physically "starting over" as you can get with medicine. I hope she is using her own stem cells because that is much easier to recover from. Using someone else's cells introduces a lot greater likelihood of long-term side effects, like your body rejecting the outside cells. Chemo (especially of this sort) has a way of loving up just about every aspect of your health you can think of and it's not great for childhood development either. Every cancer case and treatment regimen is different, though, so it's hard to say what will happen.

It is essentially as close to physically "starting over" as you can get with medicine. My brother did several rounds of chemo before and after I donated bone marrow to him. I was 6, he was 4. 20 years later I'm almost a foot taller than him. He looks like he never went through puberty and appears so androgynous he is often mistaken for a chunky, hipster lesbian. He has cataracts, gallstones, random bone spurs, dermatitis, and a thyroid condition. Also he is sterile. Sometimes the treatment is as bad as the disease.

I had mine at age 31 so I am not going to get the developmental poo poo, and there's also the thing that cancer treatment has advanced significantly in just the last 20 years. But yeah it's brutal. I have a friend who had childhood leukemia and you can kinda tell, he's almost unnaturally scrawny and short.

if a meteor struck heinz field it would cause untold devastation the lives of millions in heart wrenching ways. myself and many others would quietly mourn loss of life and offer support and charity to the survivors, our fellow human beings. i would go so far as to say we should dedicated the ravens 2015 division title to the memory of the pittsburgh steelers.

Just this complication alone has about a 30% mortality rate and that's assuming the cancer is gone and she doesn't have to turn around and do another transplant (though I bet that they'd only do one in her case)

Had a look, one of the first things in my area I found was parents of a girl who looks to be maybe 12 or 13 wanting to treat her "Bipolar, A.D.D., Oppositional Defiance Disorder and Depression" by sending her to a wilderness program for troubled teens I hate people so much e: it says she's been in juvie so maybe she just looks younger than she is or that's an old picture, but even if she's a teenager go gently caress yourself parents Intruder fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Jun 4, 2015 |

Leah is out of the hospital.quote:Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still announced in March that his daughter Leah’s cancer was in remission, but complications from stem cell transplant surgery forced the 5-year-old to return to the hospital. Devon and Leah shared some outstanding news on Instagram Friday night — Leah will finally be able to go home after the weekend.

This is sad as hell: http://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/7/7/8904177/devon-still-continues-to-help-cancer-community http://www.gofundme.com/wr8d5e8 tldr: A parent talked to Still about his experiences parenting a kid with Leah's disease. Now that parent's boy is dying at age ten and the hospice can't provide care at his home so he will likely die in the hospital. Edit: It looks like this is pretty old. The gofundme has been up for 26 days and the kid was given two weeks. Eifert Posting fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jul 7, 2015 |
