A Child with Leukemia Experiences Late Effects of Chemotherapy

At only 2 ½ years old, Adam was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He received his chemotherapy treatments at the Hematology Oncology Clinic at St. Louis Children's Hospital (www.StLouisChildrens.org). After 2 ½ years of chemotherapy, Adam started kindergarten. Adam experiences learning difficulties because of the chemotherapy, but receives help from the Therapy Services Department at St. Louis Childrens Hospital.

You should read "My Sisters Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. They're daughter has cancer,and it tells about what they have to go through. It's hard,isn't it?

GOD BLESS!

I know exatly how he fells, but not because I had cancer, but because I cannot concentrate in my activities. I'm trying to find a doctor, so I can have a chance to look into my problem and get properly help. I hope he gets the help he needs because It's really unconfortable to be in this situation and he's a brave nice boy.
