The worst case of leukemia is death. It is important to open up honest communication – both listening and sharing – with your loved ones and other family members despite how difficult this may be. As a co-survivor try to allow your loved one as much autonomy as possible and treat them as you always did because even though they may have the disease, they are still your loved one.
