Hi Jody, My son diagnosed when turning 16 (7 years ago) now 23. Back then I felt devastated however after he commenced Glivec and his blood became normal (took about 9 months) we haven't looked back. I remember what I was told by a nurse back then at diagnosis....she said "this day is the worst day, it will only get better from here". I didn't quite believe her at the time but this has proven to be true. You will both experience a lot of emotions and vulnerability., but as your trust in the treatment increases you will receive a lot of comfort. My son now works full time, attends gym regularly and plays golf a great deal. He is even contemplating becoming a pro golfer! So don't despair please!! All will be ok.
