Hi all
Our son has recently been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is coming to the end of his induction period. We wondered if anyone else was in a similar position in supporting a child/loved one with the disease?
Hi again BemoreBubbi and well done navigating to this corner of the Community.
I was still half asleep when I first replied to you so I missed that your son has ALL. So you may also want to join and post in our dedicated Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia group as well.
Let's look for some of the group members to pick up on your post.
You may also want to use the site search tool near the top and put in ALL or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia into the tool, hit ‘Anywhere’ and this will bring up all the older posts and as always you can hit reply and see if the members are still using the site. I had a quick look and there are a few posts about children with ALL.
