You have a tough journey ahead of you, but fortunately treatment options are very good nowadays.

I am extremely sorry to hear this news and I know it is extremely difficult for you to hear it. Never apologize for posts of this sort because they are "downers." Thank you for letting us know--we will keep your child, you, and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers. Never give up--God can do what seems impossible to us. Rely on Him.
Thank you for the reminder of how precious our families are.
May God greatly bless you and yours in the days ahead. Keep your chin up and remember to keep a positive outlook: it is okay to be sad and scared, and to express those emotions, but after you have been that for a while, force yourself to smile--I can vouch that it really does help with keeping a positive & hopeful attitude. No matter how bleak the day is, try and find something good about each one. I hope it will not be long before we can learn of the improvement of your child's health.

I can't imagine anything harder to hear as a parent but stay strong, brother. I have two close friends, now both healthy adults, who got the same diagnosis as kids. Fear is the enemy. Keep strength and hope in your heart and your kids will feel it.
I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts.

The good news is that there is a cure.
The bad news is that we need to pray until we find "bone marrow donor".

If there are more donor registrants, chances of getting better will increase.
And there may be people who fit within family and relatives.
I hope to find a conformant.

This is why being kind to others and showing affection and care to your loved ones is so important.
You never know what the other person is going through or might happen next.
I hope your kid gets better with time and treatment. :'(
/hug

Surely no one knows me. I'm not active in forums or anything. Regardless:
My older child was diagnosed with leukemia today. Parents, hug your kids. Kids, hug your parents. Hug your siblings. Make phone calls. Things like this are scary.
I'm sorry for the downer post. I suppose it's a coping mechanism.
Edit: It was a rough night, but I woke up in a great mood, in good part due to the messages from friends and strangers alike. Thank you all. I truly appreciate the kind words.
Edit 8-10-18 pm: Surgery 2 in 2 days went well. It should be his last, aside from spinal taps, for the foreseeable future. He's getting his kicks by destroying everyone (dad, grandma, nurses, whoever) at Mario Kart. Little brat is getting good! <3
