teenage daughter aged 17, diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia in August 2023

It takes time, the treatment is harsh but recovery is possible.Speak to her designated doctor as every patient is different.

Sending you loads of love 

Thanks Ghaz. The general trend is upwards, but she will get knocked for six each time she has a head cold or something. When she was first diagnosed, the 'rogue cells' were only in the bone marrow, not in the blood, which gives me hope that it was caught in the early stages. Also she responded immediately to the chemo and went into a deep remission in 29 days, which again gives me hope that it was blasted and gone very quickly. The health complications she has had since are a result of the chemo treatment, not the rogue cells themselves. 5 weeks into the treatment she had chemo-induced seizures, and went into a 3 day coma. When she awoke, she couldn't feel her legs from the waist down (this was October 2023) and so it has taken a year for her to learn to walk without zimmer frame/crutches etc. Still working on this, but she can walk unaided around the house and short distances. I feel the need to reach out and connect with others going through same, and am really grateful for your reply. Have you had personal experience with ALL?
