Jarrod Lyle you can fight it!

[thecraw]

Poor Jarrod has been diagnosed as having leukemia again for the second time in his life. After defeating it at 17 its came back again. Really really sad to hear.

To make matters worse his wife is due to give birth so he's elected to wait until his child has been born before starting his chemotherapy as once he starts his treatment he'll not even be able to hold his child. Absolutely heartbreaking.

God be with you again.

Charlie Wi was interviewed after his 1st round at Bay Hill on sky tonight. He finished by wishing Jarrod all the best. The studio mentioned his wife was induced prematurely on 10th March.

Wishing him a second speedy recovery.

Horrible situation.
Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

 

[Aztecs27]

Can't add muchto what's been said. Thoughts, prayers and good vibes with him.

 

[Slime]

Ditto.
I'm not a bliever but still praying for you & your family.
Hang tough.

Slime.

 

[CMAC]

Heartbreaking!

 

[Tiger]

So sad heart goes out to him and his family.

 

[Stub]

Seen him a few times on Sky and he comes across as a good guy, and a fighter given his history. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to him and others battling similar situations.

It's beatable, fingers crossed for the lad. Acute myeloid can be beaten more quickly than chronic myeloid so here's hoping.

Mmm, not sure about that. Although not a great choice, I would prefer CML, where treatment has been revolutionised in recent years with drugs such as imatinib (Gleevec). By comparison AML treatment lags behind a lot. A recurrence of AML after this time is a bad sign. His initial treatment will involve chemotherapy which will flatten his immune system and is tough going. He should get a remission from that (more than 2/3 do) and hopefully that remission will last, but in many patients, especially older ones, it doesn't last long.

I am currently working on developing new drugs for AML and related diseases, and they are tough diseases for patients.

Blimey Ethan that really puts it into context.

Hats off to you Ethan, we fund raise for Glasgow Uni research and have a good relationship with Tessa Holyoake who I'm sure you'll know of if working in the research.

My father in law is in remission from cml

Hope the FIL does well. I tend to deal more with researchers in the US than the UK these days, although we do have links to the Royal Marsden in London, but I know of Professor Holyoake.
