I was recently diagnosed with leukemia and I'm wondering if it's possible to live a full life after being diagnosed with this condition. Has anyone here had a similar experience or know someone who has? I'm hoping to hear from someone who has gone through this and can share their story. I'm looking for advice on how to manage the condition, treatments that have worked for them, and information about what to expect. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
