A horrible disease. My Mum was diagnosed 2 years ago and it has been a uphill battle to try and manage her meds with everyday life. Even everyday life, isn't a patch on what it once was.

 

Feel deeply for Petrov and his family, they have a long hard road ahead, but hopefully they will be able to bring his condition to a manageable level.

Very sad - prognosis kind of depends on what type AML, ALL, APL etc... and what sub types. My Mrs had ALL at 21 - chemo, radio, Bone Marrow transplant and fine fit and dandy 18 years later so its not all bad.. wish him and family all the very best - going to be interesting for him getting a drugs test when he's back playing again... you get given shed loads of steroids and not sure how long their metabolites hang around in the system - but at least he'll have a genuine excuse

 

All the best Stilyan!

...and yet you managed to compose yourself to tell the world about it.

Social Networking does my head in nowadays.

Good luck to Petrov.

Excellent news. My girlfriend was diagnosed AML a few years back so I've been following his progress pretty closely, honestly the treatment is f*cking brutal, she came through it though (twice) and hopefully this is the start of Petrov's recovery.
