Benzene and Leukemia Lawyer & Attorney : Burke & Eisner Law Firm : Benzene Exposure, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma

Coping with a rare disease such as aplastic anemia is not an easy task.  The hardest part to deal with is finding out what causes the disorder.  I have not been diagnosed with the disorder, but my father has.  The doctors have linked the development of his diagnosis to the exposure of benzene within his occupational environment.  Other occupational and environmental exposures to certain chemicals have created a higher risk for developing aplastic anemia.  How could these occupational/environmental exposures to certain chemicals lead to the prevalence of aplastic anemia in the future?

Was reading a blog post about Aplastic Anemia Treatment.  It is a pretty good post with general information on treating Aplastic Anemia. 

The treatment of aplastic anemia was considered once as impossible ones. But, currently many therapeutic applications are available for the affected persons like transfusion of blood or bone marrow replacement together with appropriate medications. Platelet transfusion also helps the treatment.

Iron chelation therapy is undertaken when repeated transfusions of red blood cells are given. However, it needs a periodical monitoring of blood status.

...

In general, stress free life with good feeding with enough protein and fiber help to prevent the disease of aplastic anemia.

The only negative comment I have is concerning the idea that if you lead a stress free life that it will help in preventing aplastic anemia.  That seems overly broad.  I think that if we lead a stress free life it will help a lot of things, but I don't know about preventing aplastic anemia.
