So sorry for late posting about this Blogging for Blood Cancer. My holiday longer one day than my thought, so I cant go back to Jakarta yet.

Ad you know, to concern with Blood Cancer, Godiesformom do this event to write about blood cancer in same day. For you who doesn’t know about blood cancer can goes here.

Basically, I will wrote about Leukemia. Why? Because two of my friends die because of it.

Leukemia is a malignant disease (cancer) of the bone marrow and blood. It is characterized by the uncontrolled accumulation of blood cells.

I will write about the syndicate for acute leukemia. I dont want people too late recognize some one they loved got leukemia. My high school friends, Daniel (19 years when he dies-if I’m not wrong), knew he got leukemia when he already at Stadium 4. And my cute little student Allaya (8 years old when she dies) maybe late to get treatment.

For acute leukemia, they include:

  • Tiredness or no energy
  • Shortness of breath during physical activity
  • Pale skin
  • Mild fever or night sweats
  • Slow healing of cuts and excess bleeding
  • Black-and-blue marks (bruises) for no clear reason
  • Pinhead-size red spots under the skin
  • Aches in bones or joints (for example, knees, hips or shoulders)
  • Low white cell counts, especially monocytes or neutrophils.

So hope you will be get more concern to that indication.

Its so sad to see Daniel use phone to talk to me from behind isolation room and said “Hi… how are you? And how is our friends at high school? I’m fine here. And hope I can hang out again with you guys.” He keep smile even his skin already change into dark color and he already looses his hair. I always pray for him till end.

My cute student Allaya is one of my favorite student. She is really energic student. Even she is very tin and some times I saw Black and blue marks on her arms, and I ask “do U already check at doctor?” she said “I’m ok.” She day only a month after I asking about the marks. T___T I’m shocked. I cried every time see her art. I pray for her too.

I dont want people late to realized the illness. its better to know it faster and get perfect treatment. And hope with this blogging event, people will more aware with blood cancer.

Untuk kedua sahabat yang telah pergi meninggalkan akuh, doaku selalu untuk kalian. Aku sayang kalian berdua. Semoga diberi tempat terbaik di sisi Allah SWT
