Could anyone feed me some information about the different types of leukemia and the different stages? I would like to become as knowledgable on the situation as possible.

A bit of background would be that my grandma on my moms side died of a form of luekemia in the early 90's. And then when i was a young child my dad got the same type but was saved because of advances in treatments. I dont even know what kind of luekemia it is. My mom said he was very lucky.

I want to know as much as possible, walls of text are good just like links.

Please i want to learn not from wikipedia but from actual people

thanks

My husband died recently of APL which is an acute form. There are acute and cronic forms and the treatments are very different for each one. A good book to read is:
Adult Leukemia: A Comprehensive Guide for Patients and Families
(Paperback)
ISBN: 0596500017
