My roommate Sam has leukemia.

Her husband rushed her to the hospital on November 19th with severe pain and difficulty breathing. Her blood sugar was 44 (way too low) and her white blood cell count was 166,000 (way too high). Wellstar then dicked around for two days and watched her numbers fuck up, doing zero additional tests ("well you know it's a holiday weekend so it's hard to get people up here") until they finally actually transferred her to Northside Hospital's oncology center. This is where her (assumed) diagnosis changed from lymphoma to leukemia.

In no uncertain terms, Wellstar almost killed Sam. The ICU staff at Northside confirmed that if they had waited another day she would have died. "Another day and we wouldn't be discussing treatment, we'd be discussing either hospice or funeral."

Everything else is in the gofundme below, but to paraphrase: she had white blood cell buildup around her heart and lungs. Her spleen was also so swollen it was pressing on her heart, lungs, and stomach. Her kidneys started shutting down from trying to filter so many immature white blood cells out of her system. She's been on dialysis, leukapheresis, steroids, and insulin (to combat the rise in blood sugar from the steroids). She's gotten five transfusions of platelets and one regular blood transfusion. We're waiting on biopsy results for the exact form but right now it looks like acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). She's responding well to the treatments she's received so far, but it's still a long road ahead.

It's still very early days so stuff like disability and leave are still being worked out. We're going to have to start paying her insurance out of pocket, not just for her but because their type 1 daughter is also on it.

I keep calling these things "hurdles" but this might actually be a fucking wall. Scalable, for sure, but so much higher than we're used to having to climb. I was originally going to make an update on the house stuff about my partner's raise and the deal we made with the county and how it was going to make the house stuff easier, but instead I am making this post. Believe me, I do not want to be making this post. For several reasons.

The gofundme is here: Thank you and we love you.

So, we've had this nasty growing chronic fatigue and pain just getting worse our whole life, and it spiked dramatically in the past five years.

We finally got a doc who is both taking us seriously and knowledgeable about chronic illnesses, and she had us do a blood smear for the first time ever.

We're going to gloss over the ramifications of the results for a moment, because they aren’t conclusive (but they're definitely not good), in order to share the part of this that we're just kind of stuck on.

The MD specialist that examined our blood with her eyeballs wrote back to say, "this should be checked against a flow cytometry to verify the results and collect more data."

Which is to say, she told our doc that someone needs to shoot a laser at our blood!

Like, it makes sense. Human beings have learned that if you shoot lasers at things, you can often examine the reflected light to read minute details about those things. And they do it all the time.

It's nothing new at this point.

Grocery clerks shoot lasers at your cereal and beer all the time.

But.

They're going to shoot a laser at our blood!

It's like a combination of ignorant 1950s horror sci-fi and heavy metal.

Nimona would be so fucking psyched.

#anyway we probably actually literally have cancer #but if so it’s a really slow acting one #except we're experiencing a lot of severe symptoms so it's had time to act #and if it is the one the shape of our lymphocytes suggests it's incurable #but we'll make an official post about that after the laser either confirms or eliminates that possibility #either way we expect to have time to write several more movels in our lifetime #in the mean time #lasers #at the blood #yes we buried the lede in the tags because this is Tumblr and it's what you do

It's very hard to detect, but recent studies have determined that when plasma B cells are producing antibodies, they go 'pew pew pew'

These are lymphocytes (white blood cells) and granulocytes (white blood cells with secretory granules) under the lab microscope.

Tell me why I'm writing a story on the romance between a t-lymphocyte and a macrophage. I'm getting unnecessarily attached to silly little guys that don't even exist properly yet.

what part of human blood do vampires need? Red blood cells? Just the hemoglobin? Is it any part of blood? Do lymphocytes count? Could they fish around in the biohazard container at the hospital for a snack and be fine with that? Could we make a vampire version of beyond burgers in the lab?

I had to take Concerta and double doses of all my heart meds and albuterol to do it but I took out the trash and voted and picked up my prescriptions and made + consumed one (1) Real Meal and carried a box of books up the stairs, Please Clap. I want to sleep for 16 hours I am having heart palpitations and my brain is a desiccated steel wool scrub brush. There's another infected sore on my leg because None Immune System and None Wound Healing and I am So Tired. It won't scab so I'm just disinfecting and packing it I guess. When will my lymphocytes return from war

#Wild how I just got an acute kidney injury and then my immune system collapsed and now I just like. Dont really have a functional imm #*immune system but because it #Happened in Feb 2020 the medical system also collapsed under COVID so nobody did anything about it and now it's just like #My life I guess. Love this for me #Had 15% of normal lymphocytes per last bloodwork. Great job team #They did rule out cancer! So it's just. Mystery lymphopenia

My entire family, who I have spent all of the past week around, are one by one getting really ill. I am watching them drop like flies and anxiously wondering when it will hit my leukopenic ass.

Six years of living with blood cancer

Today marks the day when, six years ago, my life changed forever as I was diagnosed with blood cancer.  That night I experienced the first of many sleepless, tearful nights.  Or was the day that changed my life the 28 April 2017 – the day I got sick, was admitted to hospital, and remained severely unwell with pneumonia for several weeks? Both dates are forever etched in my mind.  The gap between…
