Please help to raise money for this little 2-year-old girl that has been diagnosed with "Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia" (ALL) . Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a type of CANCER that affects the white blood cells. It progresses rapidly and aggressively and requires immediate treatment.

Treatment:

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is an aggressive condition that develops quickly, so treatment usually begins a few days after diagnosis.

Stages of treatment:

Treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is usually carried out in three stages. They are:

Induction – the aim of the initial stage of treatment is to kill the leukaemia cells in your bone marrow and to achieve a remission.This means that leukemia cells are no longer found in bone marrow samples, the normal marrow cells return, and the blood counts become normal. (A remission is not necessarily a cure.)

Consolidation – this stage aims to kill any remaining leukaemia cells in your central nervous system.

maintenance – the final stage involves taking regular doses of chemotherapy tablets to prevent the leukaemia returning.
