Yeah I got the super fucking rear type, only 3 cases recorded of T-PLL in Calgary in 10 years. So, if I didn’t get treatment I would have a year left, doctors were pretty blunt with the outcome when I started going to TBCC, it took a while to be diagnosed due to being similar to B-PLL. Treatments are different so without confirmed diagnosis nothing can be done, if treated for the wrong type it probably would kill me.
I started my treatment at TBCC in January this year, I have a drug called Alemtuzumab pumped in to me and frik do I hate needles now, this drug was only available from Dec 2014 after research from 2008, It gives patients who respond to the treatment 5 years or more of life, then a stem cell transplant to consolidate the response. (Stem Cell is the only possible cure) So without this drug a few years ago my outcome would be pretty fucking bleak (I’m 47 and not ready to leave this earth yet!), money should seriously go in to cancer research and get these type of drugs available so lives can be saved.
So now I’m on the stem cell transplant list, 3 months stay at TBCC and lots of challengers ahead with possible full recovery in 9-12 months, but I’m positive and will beat this.
