Introduction

 Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), also called acute lymphoblastic leukemia, is a cancer that starts from the early ersion of white blood cellscalled lymphocytes in the bone marrow (the soft inner part of the bones, where new blood cells are made). They can then spread to other parts of the body, includingthe lymph nodes, lier, spleen, central nerous system (brain and spinal cord), and testicles (in males). *ther types of cancer also can start in these organs and thenspread to the bone marrow, but these cancers are not leukaemia.

Protocol on supportive management of the disease and treatments related complication to support high quality care close to home.

!atients with ALL re"uire hospital admission for induction chemotherapy and they re"uire readmission for consolidation chemotherapy or for the treatment of to#iceffects of chemotherapy. $urgical interention may be re"uired for the placement of a central enous catheter, such as a triple lumen, %roiac, or &ickmancatheter.

o matter what you decide to do, you need to feel as good as you can. ake sure you are asking for and getting treatment for any symptoms you might hae,such as nausea or pain. This type of treatment is called palliative care.

!alliatie care helps reliee symptoms, but is not e#pected to cure the disease. +t can be gien along with cancer treatment, or can een be cancer treatment. The

difference is its purpose the main purpose of palliatie care is to improe the "uality of your life, or help you feel as good as you can for as long as you can.

$ometimes this means using drugs to help with symptoms like pain or nausea.

 At some point, you may benefit from hospice care. This is special care that treats the person rather than the disease- it focuses on "uality rather than length of life.

ost of the time, it is gien at home. our cancer may be causing problems that need to be managed, and hospice focuses on your comfort.

$taying hopeful is important, too. our hope for a cure may not be as bright, but there is still hope for good times with family and friends times that are filled withhappiness and meaning. !ausing at this time in your cancer treatment gies you a chance to refocus on the most important things in your life. ow is the time to dosome things you/e always wanted to do and to stop doing the things you no longer want to do. Though the cancer may be beyond your control, there are stillchoices you can make.

Nutritional Therapy

Cooking To Battle Leukemia. A healthy diet for someone with leukemia is pretty similar to a

healthy diet for the general population, says registered dietitian 0ee $and"uist, a spokeswoman for 

the American 0ietetic Association in 1airfield, +owa. &ere/s what $and"uist recommends to bolster 

your body/s healing power2 Aim for ! fruits and vegeta"les a day. #team your vegeta"les. $o for 

%hole grain. &ake protein a priority.  #oothe your stomach. 'ill up on healthy "acteria. (at

every t%o to four hours.

3hen you/re eating a healthful diet 4 and you/re getting e#ercise, managing stress, and getting

enough sleep 4 you/ll know you/re doing eerything you can to fight the disease.
