    Hi folks, well as the heading said I am feeling pretty devastated, shocked, angry and down at the moment.

    My brother was diagnosed with Leukemia yesterday and I feel like I have been run over by a truck.

    Am feeling so low at the moment and feeling bad because im snappy with my kids and just have no interest in doing anything for them.

    My mother is so upset but I cant help her when I cant even help myself.

    Not sure what type he has yet, he is being moved to St. James hospital for further tests and to discuss what treatment is necessary.

    Cant even visit him because of snow and plus he doesnt really want to see anybody at the moment.

    Has anybody else had this and what was the outcome?

    I went throught the same about 16 months ago, Leukeamia too and a very rare and recurring form of it, at the same time as having found out my mother was gravely ill. I won't go into detail here as the family member is fiercely private and i'd like to respect their wishes <snip>

    One of the best things you can do is read up on the condition. It will demystify it and know what you should be able to expect. It will also allow you to better support your brother when the roads finally thaw out a bit.

    You will probably find other family members and friends will try to help with your mother, kids, etc. Don't refuse it- make sure you take any help and support that's going.

    I don't think there's much point in asking what the outcome is until you speak to the doctor.
