Your doctor was doing his job. Unfortunately, he was not thinking of what it would be like to be in your position, and i guess it came out harshly. It was totally legal, although you could talk to him about it, or someone else in the hospital staff.
Never lose hope. Numbers don't tell story, and they certainly dont end them. Just keep faith. Pray even if you aren't religious. And dont let your disease rule your life. have fun. But just be careful, eat well and stay healthy (i mean other than the leukimia) and who knows, in 8 months you might be in remission.
you might want to look into a support group:
http://www.thewellnesscommunity.org//virtual_wc/support.asp
or
http://www.cancerindex.org/ccw/guide2sg.htm
You might also want to think about getting a psychologist to help you through the mental part of this illness.
One more thing: MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT ALL THE OPTIONS. Who knows, there might be some little-known treatment in some rural citythat will save you.
If you need to talk just respond to this and ill give you my email (so im not giving it out to everyone).
God bless you, good luck and much love.
Hope i helped.

Thank you! Never listen to your first Dr. or your second one. If you know anybody who has cancer do anything you can to get them to call the Cancer treatment centers of America! I am alive and taking my life back up. I could've very easily been dead. I thank God every day that I am still alive. Thanks again! :)
