Mom B-Cell ALL diagnosis

[u/Ready-Shallot-2029]

My mom was recently diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-cell type). She’s 49 years old and, until now, has always been completely healthy. I’m terrified and can’t imagine life without her.

She just finished her first week of inpatient chemo on the Hyper-CVAD regimen. Because this cancer is still fairly rare, I haven’t been able to find that much firsthand experience online. I’ve been turning to ChatGPT for answers, and from what I’ve learned, her chances of long-term remission are around 50–60% if she achieves MRD negativity after induction chemo.

I’m really hoping to connect with anyone who has gone through this—either personally or with a loved one. If you’re willing, I’d love to hear your success stories, encouragement, or experiences with Hyper-CVAD or other treatment plans.

Right now, I’m just trying to hold onto hope and learn as much as I can about what to expect from her treatment journey.
