Well Blue, pretty much everyone I know one way or another has been affected by cancer. From this experience I can assure you that Leukemia ...no matter how many times it come and goes...will not kill your brother so long as he has the will to live. It's treatable and cureable, but it's sort of a pain in the butt to deal with one of my step-dad's friends has been living with Leukemia for decades, sometimes it would get really bad...but then he'd get better and he is still doing very well to this day, he just has to be careful because he gets sick a lot easier.

I'm not saying I already am sure he's going to die...
I'm just ... scared I guess
I'm afraid of what's going to come
the changes of 5 year survival they said, were about 50/60 % the first time he got diagnosed... I don't think I wanna know what they are gonna be this time
More general info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_myeloid_leukemia

Kaika you mentioned your stepdad's friend has lived with Leukemia for a long time. I wonder if maybe he has chronic leukemia? Because that's a slowly progressive kind of leukemia.

((((((((((((((blue and brother)))))))))))))))

Blue l understand your anxieties and worries and they are perfectly normal

Try to listen what the treatment options are as your brother will once again need all the strength of his loved ones around him to help him get through these testing and hard times. Know that we are all here for you and that we will support you all the way
You are not alone blue we are all standing right beside you as you once again start this walk with your brother in search for his eventual recovery

So Jasper is going to the hospital tomorrow. He will stay there for at least a week or 3... We can visit him almost everyday but it's going to suck... a lot.
I'm afraid he will go back to not talking at all, to anyone, cept for to me when I visit or when I catch him on msn when he's on one of the hospital computers.
I don't want to leave him there...

Blue--I know you don't do churches, but I hope you don't mind if I do say a prayer for you and Jasper. Even one night is a long time to leave him there, so I understand your not wanting to. The only good part of him staying there is that 1) you know he is safe and 2) you know he will be getting the treatment he needs to help make feel better and possibly put this stupid thing in remission. Keep those thoughts close to you. Maybe you two can write to each other every day in a special notebook just for that purpose, then swap them when he gets home.

So... what if he doesn't respond well to the chemo... I heard something about 'clinical trials' but other then that this are drugs etc that aren't tested fully yet that doesn't say much to me. Well we will hear more tomorrow but from what I did hear it doesn't look to great...

Blue, it's been a long while since I happened onto one of your posts. This really stinks so bad, it is so so rotten that Jasper should be down with this evil leukemia again.

Like others here, I just wish I had something to offer to cheer you or encourage you. I am sorry these bad things have continued to happen to you and your brother.
