Hi Bob,
What a shock for you. Your induction regime is the same as mine was. Fortunately I did pretty well on it. Unfortunately, my bone marrow never regenerated & had gcsf injections but then was told the leukemic cells were back. So did a second round of chemo. Then remission & to transplant on march 6th. So even if remission doesn't happen first time round you just pull yourself up & go again!
I too was scared & like you felt the odds were stacked against me especially already being tired from 2 rounds of chemo, infections etc.. but now in hospital I take each day as it comes.. fight one day at a time, think positive, get up & walk each day.. like everyone says. Good luck to you on this next detour in your journey, here's hoping there is not too many speed bumps , detours & loop the loops!
Sharnie.
