"In fact, I would have died in the next 48 hours if I hadn't got into hospital at that point."

Trudi was taking some time off from working as an urgent care nurse when she believed she was coming down with a ‘bug’.

However, her symptoms quickly progressed, and by the sixth day Trudi was forced to take matters into her own hands to get diagnosed.

Here, she shares her story as part of our #SpotLeukaemia campaign.

You can read Trudi's full story here http://bit.ly/TrudiArcher

"I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in September 2017. I knew I wasn’t feeling very well, but the idea that I had leukaemia was very scary."

12-year-old Olivia Baggott had been complaining of symptoms such as back and joint pain, but subsequent GP visits resulted in a range of misdiagnoses, from juvenile artheritis to Lyme disease.

Now in remission, Olivia and her mum Jane have shared Olivia's leukaemia journey in this video.

Day by Day | My Cancer Treatment Begins | Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Day by Day | My Cancer Treatment Begins | Acute Myeloid Leukemia administrator 0 Views • 2 years ago

The day after my diagnosis of leukemia I was taken to another hospital to start chemotherapy as soon as possible. The week my cancer treatment began was a blur with so many people trying to help and support me, from my medical team to family and friends.

We all just had to take it day by day.

20 years later I just had the best family camping trip and I am so grateful to be here. I would have never guessed 20 years ago that I would be this connected into my life, this happy and healthy.

It is my hope that my cancer vlog with acute myeloid leukemia connects to the people who need inspiration and hope.

There were days I wanted to give up and my leukemia story vlog is a peak into 20 years ago when I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. My treatment including the good days, bad days, worse days and the humor we infused throughout.

Then fast forward to today. My ordinary life that is extraordinary. This doesn't mean all of my days are happy and sunny, it doesn't even mean that I appreciate every day though I should. It means that I'm at a point where my cancer journey is a part of me rather than it defined me.

With Love,
Beth

Acute myeloid leukemia, often shortened to AML, is a type of cancer affecting the stem cells in the bone marrow. It is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults, but can develop in children too.

Although AML is more common in older people, it can affect people of any age.

AML develops quickly, which is why it is termed “acute”, and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage.

It is important for everyone to fully understand the signs and symptoms to ensure a diagnosis is made as early as possible.

This animation provides an overview on the common signs and symptoms of AML. Please watch it and share it amongst your network using #KnowAML
