Thanks

The labeling of a 5 year life expectancy for a child with ALL I believe is quite inaccurate, Indeed, ALL in children is a curable cancer, in which cured children can eventually live normal lives and become productive members of the society.
I would suggest that the child receive treatment in a specialized child cancer center who has a good track record in terms of cure rates and survival rates. Again, this cancer is curable and I wish you all the best in this endeavor.
Regards and God bless.
