ALL relapse in 5 year old

Today we got the awful news that my grandson has relapsed after 2 and half years of treatment. I just want to see if anyone can offer me some advice on what to expect. I’m so scared x

  • Hello Flo63,

    I'm really sorry to hear about your grandson. His medical team will be the best people to ask, but we have some information that may help you and your family to cope and support him. There are some resources available as well.

    If you wish to speak to someone else, we have a team of nurses available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. You can call them free on 0808 800 4040 or you can email a question here.

    I hope this helps and all the best to him,

  • Hi Flo,

     

    I'm really sorry to hear your sad news. Just to give you some hope I was diagnosed with Leukaemia back in the 1980s and after 2yrs of treatment, I relapsed and went onto having a bone marrow transplant from my sister and have been cured for almost 30yrs now. I hope your grandson is still fighting on strong!
