Need to interview someone who has/had Leukemia for middle school research paper?

Reply:I am a leukemia patient and would be glad to be interviewed for this project. I had several miracles take place during the 2 months I was in the hospital. I think it would make a good story for his paper. I died 3 times and still got up and walked out of the hospital 3 days after dying the 3rd time. I got that miracle and then I went into remission 100% and so far am still in remission. I will find out tomorrow. It will be 1 year on June 2nd since I went into the hospital er and found out then that I had leukemia. And all I thought I had was just one of my bad migraines. Boy was I fooled. That started me on a roller coaster ride. My e-mail address is missilverspoon@yahoo.com. I think that you are doing a good job if you are going in depth on diseases and conditions. Keep up the good work.

My suggestion for safety purposes is for willing people to contact the teacher via the email posted in the question, rather than posting it online here, where unscrupulous persons will use it.





Meanwhile, I have forwarded your question to one of my boy scouts who (at 15) has recovered twice from leukemia. He may choose to answer your email personally, and not through this system.





Good luck, and this was a great idea!
