Great video, so recently my nephew of 5 years of age was diagnosed with PRE-B ALL which was a terrible news for us, we fought through it, his first biopsy showed more than 95% blast cells in his bone marrow, however they didnt make it to his blood stream, and his other test was fine as well some cpf or cpr some spine test to see if the brain is fine or not I dont really know I'm not a doctor, Anyway, we started off his treatment and immediately even through in his first few weeks of chemotherapy he started showing good improvements like no more bone pains and could start to walk again and do some normal children chores again, we started seeing hope and him being an amazing warrior started battling hard, he started eating a lot which is quite common since his medical team told us because they started giving him steroids and we were happy that our son is doing well diet wise, he has started to gain weight. Long story short it has only been a bit more than a month into his treatment and his last major biopsy, I call it major because it was supposed to show the percentage of the blast cells in his bone marrow because in that biopsy they also took a tiny bit of his bone as well. The doctors said that the could not calculate the percentage of the blast cells because there number was very less so the machine couldn't calculate it. There are a few things that I'd like to add here, I'm a bit concerned about how chemo can have effects on reproduction, and also his gene panel showed ETV6-RUNX1 fusion. Anyone that can help me understand a bit would be much appreciated. Anyway, what my concerns are that is he doing really fine? I mean we can see the improvements in his health but I'm not a doctor so I cannot know for sure, if please you could share some insights. Thanks One thing that I would like to add here for everyone is Do not lose hope if you are given this horrible disease. Always be hopeful and there is light for sure at the end of the tunnel. Peace

I have been referred to a hematologist for my CBC. I had it taken and had a low WBC count (2.8). I waited 2 weeks for another CBC, and it raised to 3.3 (still low). I looked at the CBC, and it indicates that my Neutrophils are quite low and my Lymphocytes are quite high. I’ve had many viral infections (lasting 3+ months), UTIs, and I’ve started to bruise easily. The bruises sometimes take months to go away, despite them being from minor bumps. I also get frequent mouth ulcers. I’m more fatigued than usual, and my bones and joints ache. I felt like my hair was falling out more than usual, so I got a very short haircut out of frustration. I had very long hair and donated it for cancer patients. I noticed my gums bleeding a bit more frequently as well when brushing. I haven’t met with my hematologist yet, but I keep watching videos like these that talk about the levels and their possible meaning. I truly hope I just have an infection and will bounce back. I’m still waiting for a call to make an appointment. I’m getting a little antsy.

CBC: WBC - 124,2 х 109/L, Band Neutrophils - 5 %, Segmented Neutrophils - 15 %, Monocytes - 10 %, Eosinophils - 0 %, Basophils - 0 %, Lymphocytes - 5 %, Blasts 65 %.

My wife and I lost our just turned 2 year old son 7 months ago to Aml. He had MLL gene rearrangement or subtype KMT2A or 11q23. He had a translocation between chromosomes 6 and 11, t(6;11). He received cytarabine, daunorubicin, etoposide, gemtuzumab ozagamicin then mitoxNtrone and cytarabine. He relapsed after the second chemo which signified refractory Aml which had a poor prognosis. Decitabine with mylotarg was then used. He died shortly after from within 4 months of treatment. Some side effects he had were bloody nausea and diahrea. Horrible bloody mouth sores. He was in pain all over. His right eye was covered by a leukemia pool that ended up bleeding.He had a lot of liquid in his lungs which they thought was pnemonia. He ultimately died from a brain bleed within 24 hours caused we think by the chemo.

ALL is the most common cancer in pediatrics, but in Down syndrome patients AML M7 is most frequent.

[@isabellav.cabaleiro5431]

OKAY SO, I have a presentation on this and I wanted to confirm a piece of information with you. So there is the type of classification which divides ALL according to morphology, immunology and genetics (which I want to assume is the same as cytogenetic, correct me if I am wrong). And then there is the classification depending on which lymphocyte precursor is being affected, whether that be the T or B lymphocyte. Anyways, I was planning on using the classification based on morphology etc and briefly (in the introduction) speak about the genetics regarding ALL; however, I was planning on mostly speaking about the gene translocation on chromosome t(9:22) and t(12:21) and rather just presenting the other types of mutations. Anyways, could you please tell me if I have understood correctly all this info? And do you agree that I should talk more in depth about the classification I told you about. Bear with me, I know it is a long post but hopefully I have expressed myself correctly (english is not my first language).

[@rahaeshqi7972]

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

I said it could be leas than 10,000 all the way up to greater than 100,000 which means it includes everything in between. The point is that leukemia can exist at any WBC count.

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

Hey! Thanks a lot for watching...I think you misunderstood the WBC count point...I did NOT say, that WBCs will be either < 10,000 or > 100,000...I said that the WBC count can range from less than 10,000 up to >100,000...So leukemia can have WBC count of 8,000 , 20,000 , 50,000, 100,000 or 130,000,...etc...The WBC count can be anything....Hope it helps :)
