CaringBridge.org - Kendrie
Little Kendrie is a child who is fighting leukemia. Site includes her story, and pictures.
http://www.caringbridge.org/ga/kendrie

Extractions: Diagnosed with ALL in October, 2003, one month after her 4th birthday, Kendrie is a happy, giggly little girl who is a tomboy at heart. She loves playing outside, swimming, riding her bike, building forts, and says when she grows up, she wants to be "a boy". On occasion, though, we catch her playing with dolls (usually GI'Joes), so not all hope is lost yet! :) "Well, to be honest, its pretty much the biggest suck-fest our family has ever faced. Oh, you wanted the medical definition? Well, in that case, leukemia is cancer of the blood forming tissues that make up the bone marrow inside the large bones. The diseased bone marrow then floods the body with abnormal white cells. These cells do not perform the infection fighting functions of healthy, mature white cells. In addition, production of red cells, which carry oxygen, and platelets, which help prevent bleeding, is decreased. Around our house, in laymens terms, leukemia is sick blood."

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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!
CaringBridge.org - Julianna
Julianna Banana is a little girl that was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Site includes her story, and photos of her.
http://www.caringbridge.org/canada/julianna

Extractions: 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!

http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/cancer.gov/CDR0000062856.html

Extractions: More Information Note: Estimated new cases and deaths from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the United States in 2005: [ Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. 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.

CaringBridge.org - Julia
This is a Dedication to a little girl with leukemia. Includes updates on her leukemia, and pictures of her as well.
http://www.caringbridge.org/md/julia

Extractions: 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+.
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/cancer.gov/CDR0000062876.html

Extractions: More Information Note: Estimated new cases and deaths from chronic myeloid leukemia in the United States in 2005: [ Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is one of a group of diseases called the myeloproliferative disorders. Other related entities include polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis, and essential thrombocythemia. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders Treatment for more information.) CML is a clonal disorder that is usually easily diagnosed because the leukemic cells of more than 95% of patients have a distinctive cytogenetic abnormality, the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1). [ ] The Ph1 results from a reciprocal translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 9 and 22 and is demonstrable in all hematopoietic precursors. [ ] This translocation results in the transfer of the Abelson (abl) on chromosome 9 oncogene to an area of chromosome 22 termed the breakpoint cluster region (BCR). [ ] This in turn results in a fused BCR/ABL gene and in the production of an abnormal tyrosine kinase protein that causes the disordered myelopoiesis found in CML. Furthermore, these molecular techniques can now be used to supplement cytogenetic studies to detect the presence of the 9;22 translocation in patients without a visible Ph1 (Ph1-negative).

Extractions: 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. 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.
CaringBridge.org - Samantha
This page is dedicated to Samantha's brave battle with Tcell leukemia. Site includes information on her battle with childhood cancer.
http://www.caringbridge.org/tx/samantha

Extractions: 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.
