My aunt as been diagnosed with acute leukaemia. Will be in the hospital for the next month. The a going to give her strong chemo

I'm very sorry

Very sorry to hear so... Best of luck to your aunt, and kind thoughts to you!

I'm so sorry, prayers her way

trying to figure out what acute leukaemia is

I shall remember her in my prayers.

Jaelle : My guess is that she has been diagnoses with acute lymphocytic leukemia: www.cancer.org/cancer/leukemia-acutelymphocyticallinadults/detailedguide/leukemia-acute-lymphocytic-what-is-all, but there

are other acute leukemia's as well.

ah

why do they call it acute?

In acute leukemias the abnormal cells in the blood cannot perform their functions properly, and they multiply rapidly; therefore the progression of the disease is faster.

In chronic leukemias, the cells can perform some of their normal functions, and the disease worsens more slowly.
