What results after you had a blood test would you be more shocked to hear that you had Lupus or Leukemia? Can you explain that to me and my thousands of viewers viewing this thread right now?

Hi Valium7!

Your question is not that easy to answer. There are many different types of Leukemia; CML, CMML, CLL ... My mother-in-law was diagnosed with CMML. Everything I read said an average life expectancy was 9 months. She lived two more years before she died. A friend has CLL. He was diagnosed with it 7 years ago. If you met him you wouldn't even know he had it. A lady I worked with had Lupus. If you met her you wouldn't know that she had it. I'm not sure if there are different types of Lupus. My husband has tested postiive for Lupus Anticoagulant but he does not have Lupus. He has APS.

I hope that some of that helps you.
