how to cope
so 2 months ago i was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia my subtype is m7, as of right now my anc and rbc counts are where you would expect them to be. my blood is a little ove 80% cancer. i feel like i am depressed. At first i wasnt sad about it at all, like i clearly was like YAY CANCER but at the same time i wasnt gonna have a pity party for myself, i knew i had to keep my chin up. but lately i havent been responding well to chemo. its like my body doesnt want to ge better. I have been sad about this lately. my parents are just saying to ge over it and focuse on getting better. my doctors are saying its because im have been in the hospitle for over a month. I dont know how to tell them that i think is more them just being sad about the cancer, because im honsetly not sad about that, but i dont know what is making me so sad.
