I've already asked this but I want as many answers as pos. What is worse epilepsy or cancer of the blood?
If my daughter (id - lollypopfizz) could have chosen, i think she would have picked epilepsy, sadly she died 7 weeks ago, she had had leukemia for 6 years.
help please
Leukaemia

I'm epeleptic, live quite well in health, but don't think cancer of the blood is better, you can live quite a while with epelepsy, depends on how its controlled by medication. I would have thought cancer of the blood is something far worse to worry about.

Surely cancer of the blood is worse in that it can be terminal.

Epilepsy can be managed and the problems kept under control.so long there is life there is hope.No one wants to die irrespective of the nature of the disease.However in case of blood cancer the patient also knows that he is dying a slow death and the chances of survival are remote..Hence it is the worst of the two
SOC JO!
I would say leukaemia,much more death danger.
Fortunately, seizures will go into remission for 70-80 per cent of patients diagnosed as epileptic. However, the outcome of the condition is very much dependent upon the type of epilepsy and what causes it.Epilepsy is usually treated with medication prescribed by a specialist. In some cases, it can be treated surgically.But it´s not deadly.
Leukaemia:There are several types of leukaemia. They are named according to the type of white blood cells (myeloid cells or lymphocytes) that are affected and how quickly the disease develops. The two main types of leukaemia are acute and chronic. The effectiveness of treatment for leukaemia depends on the type and stage of the disease. Acute leukaemia often goes into remission (the symptoms go away; the disease is under control but not necessarily cured). But many people with acute leukaemia have a relapse (the disease returns). Sometimes it causes the death of the patient.

Without doubt Cancer of the blood is worse. Epilepsy can be controlled with medication and people with it can lead normal lives. Cancer of the blood can be cured sometimes but it tends to be a much more serious condition.

Epilepsy is inconvenient and distressing but rarely terminal. Leukaemia is often terminal.

Surely leukaemia is - doesn't it kill more people?
Smarty Pants
leukemia is worse, you dont die of epilepsy.

Unless you have a seizure and a deadly accident results from it, epilepsy typically doesn't kill you.

Cancer any day. Epilepsy can be controlled with medication and people with epilepsy can and do lead perfectly normal healthy lives.
People with cancer of the blood face very unpleasant treatments and a high chance of dying.
