[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused about her diagnosis...she said she had no symptoms. is it standard to have blood tests and check white cell counts after having a baby? I don't remember that.[/quote]

Yes I wrote about this in one of the thread about not having health care. Everyone single person is susceptible to cancer and it can happen out of nowhere. I saw so many young people with cancer as a resident (sometimes younger than me at the time). It makes me understand that nothing NOTHING is promised. [/quote]

Even with health care ….Ive has symptoms for many years.  All my doctors and specialists said I was making it up despite clear evidence on ct and other tests.  Only one doctor decided to investigate and help me to the right specialists where I am finally testing.  I’ve suffered unnecessary for so many years because of lazy doctors who should find a new profession.  [/quote]

Nothing to do with this thread.[/quote]

It does because maybe if she had gotten better health care it would have been caught sooner and she could have gotten earlier treatment and had a better prognosis.[/quote]

Her cancer was diagnosed super early and she got great care. Some cancers are just super aggressive and there are no effective treatments.[/quote]

Yep, she got a really early diagnosis because she happened to have a blood test after childbirth that showed an elevated white blood cell count (before she had symptoms). But her form of cancer is really aggressive (it sounds like she had a subtype that is associated with worse outcomes ) and bone marrow transplants don't always work and/or have complications that can kill even healthy people.  Also even if treatment is initially successful for this form of cancer, relapse is quite common with very bad outlook.

I have a parent who died of the same type of cancer as hers as well as a first cousin. Both had very early detection combined with the most aggressive treatments possible and neither one survived.[/quote]
