our family could use some divine help , my older sister Kathy (51) has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. life has been rough on her, already been through breast cancer and 2 divorces from losers. doing her best to raise 3 kids herself. now this..... its tough on my mom too (juggling this, with her bad knees and Dads parkinsons.)
hopefully i will be a good match for her transfusions...... prayers welcome

Thanks,
Shaun
 
Prayers for healing for your sister and prayers for strength for all.
 
Praying for all of you, and especially for your sister, to be strong. She sounds like an amazing and tough lady!
 
Has sister spoken with oncologist or pathologist about various options? any family history? There are number of 'targeted therapies" for AML and it would be worth her considering DNA testing options. Especially given age of onset and already having presented with two different primary malignancies, its possible they will find well known cancer syndrome gene(s) alterations, among other 'acquired' ones. Some, such as IDH1, DNMT, BCL2, FLT3 are targetable 'drivers' for a number of tumors, including AML. At least one pathway called the "Fanconi Anemia pathway" (includes the popularized 'BRCA" genes among others--FANCA, FANCD, PALB...) has strong evidence of involvement in both breast and AML tumors and ensuring the genes involved are part of any test ordered would be important in your sisters case based on her clinical history. There are drugs that interfere with the specific pathway biology to varying degrees of efficacy. While, to my knowledge, none of the therapies are early-line treatment, there are many oncologists whom argue in favor of earlier testing so that backup management plans can be discussed and fully understood ahead of time--especially because delivery of results can take some time from initial order. Some mutations are also of diagnostic significance and may arm the doctor with knowledge needed to stay ahead of future high risk developments. Just something to consider talking about with the physician, as many oncologists are not up to speed on all the modern tools available (or dont specialize in tumors from all organ systems) and therefore patient questions may probe further investigation and productive subsequent visits, or even referrals.

I wish your family the best during this emotionally difficult episode, and pray the next chapter is yet another victory over her cancer.
 
Will definitely pray for her and your family. Alot of times when we think we can't carry or bare the load, it is intended to let God carry it for us. It reminds me that I can't do it alone and he is our father that is what he is for.
 
Father in Heaven, strengthen Kathy in her fight against cancer.
 
Prayers for your sister and family
 
Im terribly sorry to hear about this bad news, please let us know if we can help.
This is one of the greatest groups Ive 'met' on the internet, so much charity and help on here
 
My prayers for you and yours.
 
I always walk away a little smarter after visiting CFF and reading posts like the one above from Sigeauinox220.

Update.... she Is in the hospital and doing the chemo, very weak. But her numbers are properly trending down. Hopefully to go home in 3-4 weeks, to quarantine there for 3more months . Mom is going up to help, bringing Dad with Parkinson’s with her. All prayers welcome
 
Prayers that your sister will overcome this horrible disease.
 
Prayers up for the entire family.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
~ John 16:33
 
Keeping all of you in our prayers through this tough time.
 
My mother in law just died of leukemia, I know where you are.
 
Prayers for all.
