Re: Help, need website for a 5 year old with ALL

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

First I want to let you know that young kids with ALL usually do VERY

WELL with treatment. I believe the cure rates are in the 90% range

now.

I did a quick search and found a support group for ALL but I have no

idea what it's like, I just surfed on it quickly. Here it is, I hope

it is helpful:

Take care,

Tracey
