Hello

I was older at age 21 when I was disagnosed with ALL. I am so sorry to hear about your nephew, I was at college studying child care and I tried to carry it on but treatment took it out of me. I returned back to studying when I was better, so my advice with education is do not worry about it. He will bounce back children are amazing at being resistant, I learnt this in my studies. Spend as much time as you can with him, have lots of laughs and try not to get too bogged down by cancer stuff, you need to keep his spirits up as treatment is long for leukaemia. I think everybody is effected by the social side as hospital stays are so long but everytime he is able to leave hospital try and get him out and about when he feels upto it, I suffered alot with anxiety after leaving hospital but I would say this is normal as your life has changed so much.

Keep strong as a family and he will beat this with the support of loved ones around him.

I am here if you would like any advice about ALL.

Alice
