My daughter said something like this Sunday.
My 7 year old granddaughter, Cecilia, was sent to emergency Friday then admitted to the hospital with Pneumonia in both lungs. Saturday her blood work showed some oddities in some cells. Sunday she was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Monday, after it was determined which type she has, she began what will be a 2 year long regime of treatment with her first round of chemotherapy.
She's only seven.
Prognosis is good. Complete remission rate for children is %85. She has several other factors going in her favor beyond that. She is doing amazingly well settling into life in the hospital. It will be here home for the next three or four weeks.
