I worked away from home. I visit home once a month and see some close friends around and have nice dinner with them sometimes. Two months ago one of my friends told me that she has leukemia. I was glued to my seat and recaptured my heartbeat over fine dining we were on. Did I hear it right? Yes, she has it. Thoughts flow as fast as tomorrow. Would I see her again the next time I come home? I couldn't show her how saddened I was. Instead I asked, why? How come?What's the cause? Or is it hereditary? She simply said, nope, none of the above. She bravely asked her doctor same questions and the doctor simply told her, "its like raffle draw, your name was being drawn." I couldn't tell her anything to comfort her except to keep my cool and be a normal reactor meaning not to dramatize my reaction.
As of last lab test her WBC (white blood count) was 12,000 (normal range is 1 to 10,000).
Over the conversation I asked one thing: "Then what about your diet? What not to eat?" She was told not to eat meat, if possible no sugar nor salt. That simple.
Few days ago she told me her WBC is within normal range. Wow, thank you, Lord.
