So sorry to hear; it's always saddest when kids are involved.
If it's any consolation, my best friend was diagnosed with the same thing about 10 years ago. He got the chemo treatment, and has been cancer-free ever since.

Thought I would give an update on Eric, this is from his mother today.

Update - this morning was a good news/bad news meeting with Eric’s docs...good news (which we already knew) everything shows that Eric is in remission...bad news all genetic markers show that this is a highly aggressive form of leukemia and he will need a bone marrow transplant...good news one of his siblings is a perfect donor match...bad news...it looks like he will be in here fighting hard for up to 7 more months...good news...once the new marrow is introduced the chances of his cancer ever returning drop to almost none...
Today he starts his next round of chemo...in 2-3 weeks they plan to do the transplant...continue the good vibes and prayer please...he will make it through this...

Thank you for the update. The genetic testing results are tough but better to find out now and be able to plan. Remission is fantastic news and I hope you can draw strength from that. Eric sounds like a fighter.

Sending our prayers and love to Eric and the rest of your family. This sort of thing affects more people than the patient - and moreso in this case with sibling donors. Best wishes to you all for a peaceful Christmas and continued positive news.

That's really great news for him and your family! There are treatments and there's an end in sight to the difficulties you're all going through. Hopefully, he can, someday, benefit from this experience and use it to enrich his life and the lives of those around him.

Thought I would give another update on my grandson Eric. He has beaten this for now, Yeah!! He just had he latest checkup and his good numbers are continuing to increase. He is home now and yesterday his numbers were good enough to finally remove the feeding tube. I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers, it meant a lot to me and Eric. Prayers do work and although it looked grim for a while, when his organs started shutting down after the transplant, he has come through this and is back to his old self. He is such a great little trooper, the way he has held up to everything is amazing. Again thanks to everyone and this will be my last update.
