My brother was diagnose above symptoms on Monday, he is in Aus and we're in SA - we don't know anything about this subject at all. They started with treatment today although there is'nt enough red or white bloodcells in his body - what does this means - can he be cured?
ALL is a cancer of the white blood cells. The white blood cells are the cells that help to fight infections. When they are damaged or destroyed the body cannot fight off any bacteria or virus.
Here is a helpful website for you to peruse.
