University of California, San Francisco About UCSF Search Welcome Hospitals and Clinics Appointments Billing ... Other Resources Leukemia Leukemia Signs and Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Signs and Symptoms Two general categories of leukemia are acute and chronic. In acute leukemia, symptoms appear quickly and worsen quickly. This form of leukemia may develop over a short period of days to weeks. Abnormal white blood cells may collect in the brain or spinal cord. The result may be headaches, vomiting, confusion, loss of muscle control and difficulty seeing. Some patients develop sores in the eyes or unusual skin rashes. Leukemia also can affect the lungs and other parts of the body. In chronic leukemia, symptoms may not appear for months or years. Doctors may find chronic leukemia during a routine exam before any symptoms arise. This form of leukemia may develop over longer periods covering months or years before symptoms are apparent. When symptoms do appear, they tend to be mild and worsen gradually. Abnormal white blood cells may gradually collect in various parts of the body, affecting areas such as the skin, central nervous system, digestive tract, kidneys and testicles. The two primary types of childhood leukemia are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). These two acute forms of leukemia can develop over a short period of days to weeks. A third chronic form, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), is rare among children.

Welcome To Chloe's Web A collection of resources providing support to FeLV cats and their caregivers and vets, to FeLV and FIV researchers, to cat lovers who wish to avoid FeLV, and to animal and pet lovers everywhere. Well, Fluffy The Cat is back! The good folks at the Cornell Vet School have been good enough to put Fluffy the FeLV Diagnostic Simulator back online for the general public. Either that, or yours truly just crashed the firewall again, so get over there quick. This is technical stuff used to train vets, but you'll love it (if your browser supports frames). Oh, yes. One more thing. Be sure to go to their home page, where you'll have access to everything a veterinary student at Cornell has access to. Who knows, maybe you're the next Medicine Woman. Fleas sure suck for an FeLV cat. Or any pet. Take a look at Flea World at Iowa State University for great information on flea control. Props to Doc Noxon, this really helps. Are you ready to Act Up against Feline Leukemia? Visit our new Research Abstracts Page where you can find some things that work in clinical trials, and know which things have not. Print them out, take them to your vet or better yet your local veterinary college. Discuss them with others. There's hope in combination immunotherapy, and we need to communicate it!

about CaringBridge home page view guestbook view photos ... make a tribute donation Hello everyone, welcome to my web page! My name is Julianna and I live in Winnipeg, Canada, home of Winnie the Pooh. I'm 5 years old, brown hair and brown eyes, single and a non-smoker. My turn-ons include pink clothes, Barbie toys and playing. My turn-offs are medicine and when my brother stands in front of the tv. Please stop by from time to time and see what I'm up to :-) On September 4, 2003, the doctors told mom and dad that I have acute lymphoblastic leukemia, standard risk, pre-B cell type and put me on the CCG 1991 treatment plan protocol. Sadly, I relapsed in my treatment on December 31, 2003, and now I'm on Pretty Oncology Girls 9061 protocol...whatever that means. Oh well, as long as mom figures out my medicine and dad keeps changing the kitty litter, I'll just keep playing barbies. I have to go back to the hospital one or two times a week. The needles are NO fun at all, those ladies who always SEEM so nice always want to hold me down and stick things in my back. They don't know that I'm taking names and it's payback time when I'm not so little, mwahahaha! My Nonna lives in Brandon, Manitoba, but she just moved in! HOW COOL IS THAT?! Not many kids get their grandmas cooking anytime they want!

Please note that the background info - how she was diagnosed, etc. - is moved to entry dated 06/06/03. This page is created to track Julia's fight with leukemia for many people everywhere who are thinking of her. Julia turned 5 on March 5, 2003. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on May 8, 2003. A little tutorial about Complete Blood Count. Here are the normal values: Red blood cells (RBC) 4.2 – 6.0 million/mm3 Hemoglobin (HGB)12 – 18 g/dl Hematocrit 36 – 52% Platelets 150,000 – 450,000/mm3 White blood cells 4,000 – 11,000/mm3 ANC (infection fighting indicator) must be >1500 to fight infection Many people are asking how they can help. First of all, you all can donate blood. Even if Julia does not need it, it may help other kids. Children like Julia usually have many whole blood and platelet transfusions during treatment. If you wish, you can go to the Children's Hospital in DC and donate blood in her name (this does not mean that she will get it). By the way, her blood type is B+. Second, Julia loves getting mail. You can drop her a note or a card if you feel like. If you need our home address, please e-mail me at lolafox@yahoo.com (I'd rather not post it on the web.)

The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.) CLL is a disorder of morphologically mature but immunologically less mature lymphocytes and is manifested by progressive accumulation of these cells in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic tissues. [ ] In this disorder, lymphocyte counts in the blood are usually greater than or equal to 5,000/mm with a characteristic immunophenotype (CD5 and CD23 positive B cells). [ ] As assays have become more sensitive for detecting monoclonal B-CLL-like cells in peripheral blood, researchers have detected a monoclonal lymphocytosis of undetermined significance (i.e., MLUS, in analogy to the monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, MGUS) in 3% of individuals older than 40 years and 6% in those older than 60 years.

[ Cytogenetic analysis provides some of the strongest prognostic information available, predicting outcome of both remission induction and postremission therapy. [ ] Cytogenetic abnormalities that indicate a good prognosis include t(8;21), inv(16), and t(15;17). Normal cytogenetics portend average-risk AML. Patients with AML that is characterized by deletions of the long arms or monosomies of chromosomes 5 or 7; by translocations or inversions of chromosome 3, t(6;9), t(9;22); or by abnormalities of chromosome 11q23 have particularly poor prognoses with chemotherapy. These cytogenetic subgroups predict clinical outcome in elderly patients with AML as well as in younger patients. [ The classification of AML has been revised by a group of pathologists and clinicians under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO). [

EmailMe? Tuesday, September 06, 2005 Summer report This post is to let the reader know I am alive and well. The summer has been a great one for golfing and/or just enjoying the weather. I have had two blood tests done and the results for white blood count were 55,000 and then a drop to 45,000 with no conscious effort on my part. I am going to give a macrobiotic diet a try. It is based on whole grains and vegetables with the exclusion of fats, sugars, oil and fruit. I'll post more on this later with a report on how one can overcome the blandness of this regime. 4:16:31 PM Tuesday, April 12, 2005 Birthday News Another birthday has arrived and I have now completed 66 trips around the sun. I have not posted much of late and this is a good day to outline an attitude adjustment I have undergone. Basically I have decided to focus more on living and less on living longer. My last white blood count was on the high side (37,000) so my attitude now is a bit different than it was for the past two years. Now when I feel like a steak, I have a large one and I do not skip any of the trimmings. That is what I mean by living. If I have any news to report regarding my disease then I will post if I think it might help others who are in similar circumstances. Meanwhile, I have a garden to get ready for the growing season and my golf course will be open on May 1. I plan to do a lot of living on that course for the next 6 months.

about CaringBridge home page view guestbook view photos ... make a tribute donation February 8, 2002 our lives forever changed. Samantha was diagnosed with T-cell leukemia / lymphoma Three years later, she is winning the battle. We won't know for awhile if she has won the war, but she is on her way. Samantha has been so brave. She has shown so much courage and strength. Our lives have been enriched by this disease which invaded so rudely into our lives over two years ago. We have learned quickly how important a hug, a kiss, the smell of ones skin, and the sound of a heart beat trully is. We no longer take for granted the simple pleasures in life. We laugh more, we cry more, and we love more. Samantha has touched so many lives in the last two years in a half years and we are amazed by her spirit. She continues to live each day as if she won't get a tomorrow. She is fully aware that life doesn't give you do-overs, so she makes sure that each moment counts. We, as her parents, are so privlaged to call her our daughter On February 8, 2004, she entered into her third year of treatment. Just one month later, in March of 2004, she finished her treatment and moved onto a new life without taking chemotherapy every day. She has become a beautiful young lady. When she started this journey of having cancer she was only 9 years old. Now, Sammy is 12, and in the 7th grade. She plays the violin, takes karate classes, is now taking acting classes once a week, is a straight "A" student, and has lots of friends. When she is feeling good, she goes until her body won't let her anymore. We can never tell her to just take it easy. She always wants to be on the go and hanging out with her friends or family.She is our hero.

As the most common form of childhood cancer, ALL usually strikes between the ages of two and 10. Sometimes described as blood cancer, it affects the white blood cells which help the body combat infection. In ALL, immature white blood cells divide uncontrollably, accumulating in the bloodstream, bone marrow and lymph system. This invasion of abnormal cells interferes with the production and function of the healthy blood cells making the person with leukemia highly susceptible to infections with little or no defense. What are the symptoms of ALL?
