Anyone have experience with chronic leukemia?
Don't know if I spelled that right or wrong.
 My grandpa has it and his blood tests are starting to show it might be progressing. I was just wondering if anyone knew how this would rear its ugly head as time goes by? Right now he is bruising easily and weaker. The only treatments he will most likely be getting is blood or platelets. He will be turning 89 on the 17th so....well ya know. This is how he likes to take his pictures....

There are several different kinds of leukemia with several different courses from going to die this week to maybe in 20 years, maybe not.. If you can find the specific name I can get you some information.
PS Buy him some vampiere fangs, it will really spice up his photos.

Melody,
I loved the pic of your Grandpa. Your humor and his are probably keeping you sane. Hang in there girl. You're an inspiration.
