Patty’s APL Survivor Story
November 10th, 2009 at 9:06 pm (Survivor Roll Call)
I’m so happy to have found this site! My name is Patty Chambers and I was diagnosed with APL November 2005, when I was 19 years old. I’m now a 21 year old college student and am currently in the “maintenance” phase of treatment (taking oral chemotherapy such as Atra, Methotrexate, and Mercatopurine). I was apart of a research study where I also got treated with Arsenic 5 times a week for 6 weeks. I am so happy that this website is dedicated to all of the people that have or have had APL, we all have gone through alot and continue to live through it everyday, atleast we have somewhere to share our own experiences.
