Its a mutation in the genes causing rapid and uncontrollable cell growth of white blood cells. But there is something called Gleevec that specifically inhibits the enzymatic activity of a protein causing this. 98% of user experience the complete dissapearance of Leukemic blood cells. Usually used in the case of Chronic Myelogenous leukemia. Basically its hones on the bad cells without hurting the good ones.

Since he had some fluid in the healthy lung, it may mean that this only lung is affected by cancer too.\nthere may be 1or 2 other possibility but to be honest cancer is # 1 reason.\nhole in his lung ? may mean pneumothorax which usually resolves by itself but needs some time (may be weeks, my brother had a hole in his lung after heart surgery & it healed after 1 month).\ni wish your uncle good health

A good idea is perhaps reporting it to a local museum. It's not a moveable artifact, of course, but they usually have old records and information and may want pictures or whatnot.

By all means ask people in this forum, as they are certainly more well-equipped to answer this question than the team of doctors that are obviously currently involved in your relatives care.\n\nsorry, but you're asking a really specific question with a paucity of information.  Ask the doctor or doctors involved.

Is that what your friend told you? Sorry to burst your bubble ugly parrot...last I heard that one my cousin had the same thing happen...after some investigation he found out that his friend had sold it down there. That's probably what happened to your car too. Get a new friend.

You need to say something to your mom and your aunt.  It would probably be best if you could tell them at the same time.  You should also try to get your sister to tell them as well.  What this man is doing is NOT RIGHT.  It is a crime, and could lead to something worse.  You need to let them know what is going on as soon as possible.

Whoa......not quite so simple to explain on here...I was researching it for family reasons and this is a great article I found.

It seems apparent to me that this child doesn't have a good fatherly figure in his life. Be someone that he can look up to and talk to (even if you're only a couple of years older than him). You did the right thing by telling your mother and her telling his mother. He couldn't have been into this stuff for very long, considering his age. Now your aunt will be able to get him the help that he needs. Good job! :)

You'd better tell him soon because if you pass it to them without telling them first that you have it they can sue you.  I'd tell him on the phone really quick , tell him you'll let him think about it and hang up nicely and quickly. If he likes you then he'll deal with it with you. Don't beat yourself up about it. It's a common problem and people are hopefully more educated about them these days. Good luck.

why do you want people to contact you if their relatives contracted this disease?  My sister got Legionnaires Disease in 84 or 85 (I think) and she became very ill.  She did live but has had diminished lung function ever since.  It was explained to me as like having a very bad case of pneumonia that does not always respond to treatment and that they could treat her symptoms but not cure the disease so she would basically live or she would die.  At the time she still had 2 minor children and we were all in a panic.  \n\nBut on a funny side note:  she actually got the disease from a dirty air conditioner vent while she worked as a waitress in a VFW club! ha! Legionaries disease from a VFW club! ha!

Since he was born alive and has presumably survived at least a few weeks (long enough to be adpoted anyway) he isn't likely to die from it. He may be mentally retarded or have a host of other problems from it though. It's good to know he has a caring family now, and as long as he is under a doctors care and the prescribed treatments are followed, he should be able to have a good long life. Good luck to you and your family.
