I never knew that there were different types until recently

I had a blood test made in June of 17 and everything were normally, in December I had another made and when I called for the results my GP said it could not be right and I had to do another one. I checked the results online myself and my white blood cell count were 53*10^9 so when I called the next day for the results and my GP asked me to come into the office I was not surprised he sent me straight to the hospital and Dec 22nd I had the tests including bone marrow which is the most painful experience in my life and Dec 27th I began treatment so that were a merry fucking christmas.
I reacted very well to the treatment and my hemathologist almost seemed surprised when he saw my early test results but the side effects have been getting worse.
Knowing this may be life long or 7-10 years before I can start to do stop trials are at times hard but things could have been a lot worse, I can one of the good kinds of leukemia.
