As a cancer survivor
Details
Host: The Japanese Society of Toxicology
In 2011, I was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Although I experienced severe side effects from chemotherapy, it was somewhat expected, and rather unexpected events were that I felt unwell after complete remission. Under such circumstances, I was encouraged by the words of a person with experience of APL like "10 years have passed since remission.". I became able to talk about my experience of fighting disease. In this presentation, I will introduce an overview of APL and the side effects I experienced as well as how to live as a cancer survivor.
