Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @salah1972 I wish the circumstances that brought you here were different and not that your 11 year old daughter is requiring treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I think it’s a parent’s worst nightmare to learn their child has cancer. However, I hope I can bring you some positive news. According to statistics children in her age group have a 95% survival rate with treatment. So that’s a remarkably positive outcome.

I found an article published by Mayo Clinic that had encouraging news for children diagnosed with ALL. Here’s the link for you: https://cancerblog.mayoclinic.org/2024/09/05/3-facts-about-acute-lymphocytic-leukemia-in-children/

Treatments can vary and are targeted to the specific needs of the patient. I’d like to be able to give you more information directed towards your needs
Since you’ve posted in the Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant and CAR-T therapy support group, will your daughter be having a bone marrow transplant or CAR-T Therapy?
