Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL): a parent's experience
Watching a parent go through cancer treatment can be confusing and upsetting for a child, causing additional stress and worry for the parent. In this video, Kelly and Mark discuss how they managed their relationships with their own children whilst in hospital receiving treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).
Each video in this series covers a different chapter in the journey of receiving a bone marrow transplant, a treatment option for some adults diagnosed with ALL.1
Whilst every cancer patient's experience is different, this video series hopes to give an insight into real stories, offer some practical advice and give support to anyone who has received a cancer diagnosis. However, individuals should always speak to their doctor or healthcare team when making any treatment decisions.
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a rare form of blood cancer that starts from white blood cells in the bone marrow. Although the majority of cases of ALL are diagnosed in younger people, it can also develop in adults.2
