How can you tell??

i was diagnosed with leukemia on 1st November 2004 which came as quite a shock to both me and my family and for numerous months i wouldnt belive it was true
i now believe i may have ptsd but can anyone help in how i could tell?
thankyou

could you describe some of your symptoms, or feelings you'd be having?

I believe that suffering from an illness like that can cause PTSD.

A 40-year-old cancer sur- vivor who received a bone-marrow trans- plant to treat his leukemia would have flashbacks of receiving radiation treatment whenever he heard the sound of the generator at work. Colors that reminded him of the hospital would trigger nausea, sweating and chills. At home two years after his treatment ended, he'd wake up in the middle of the night not knowing if he was in his bedroom or at the hospital. He forbade his family from bringing a Christmas tree into the house because the smell reminded him of the pine-scented lotion he used in the hospital.

I found this from improving life for survivors of cancer. Perhaps this site may help with some answers?

yeah i wouldnt say they're as intense as PTSD symptoms however it could be a mild case
it also doesnt help that i have become temporarilly paralyzed due to this ordeal and at this all happened at the age of 12 (turned 14 in April)
syptoms well i do sometimes shut off and go into like a deep thinking mode where i can very vagly remember what the Consultant said when he brought the blood results back for the first couple of weeks maybe even months i wasnt sure what was real and what wasnt and i have also had deep depression and suicidal modes on several occasions

Id like to know more as im interested to know

Greetings Bro ,

Listen carefully to what I am saying because No Body will enjoy the life more than 50 years ,


You are a Man, You are a real Man, rare are the people who can reveal their misery for others ,

You are Brave, you did receive the news with a sense of apathy, I do not want to tell you in how much I did suffer in this life !!!!!!

what I could say to you is that keep on being stronger than this life , Keep on being a great resistant to the life who wants to humiliate us .

Hey Bro, my cousine suffered the same illness But he recovered then after .....He was brave self - esteem and overall he believe that we all will re - born after death NOT because the prophits told us that But because we intuitively know that .

Again,

Do not despair Do not feel that you are alone, your family and we are all with you


Just take it easy

Best Regards,
