2 weeks ago a 1 inch tumor was found on my moms left kidney. that is bad enough however my sister called me tonight before I left the office and my dad has a very bad form of leukueima AML. He received a blood transfusion this afternoon and got another tonight along with a couple bags of antibiotics. he is staying the night at the hospital tonight and thursday will go to MD Anderson Cancer Center in in Houston to start kemo.

I just left my office about 6PM and drove and drove. i got home about 9pm and had to tell my wife, she is more upset than Iam.

the stuff i found on the medical sites about AML doesnt look too good for my dad.

I feel for you. I know what it's like to find out that a loved one has developed a tumor... :( I'll be praying, Citrix.

Sorry to hear such stressful news :( Two of my friends' fathers survived very nasty cases of leukemia in mid-life, so don't give up hope. A patient's attitude and the positive support of those around them is very significant
