The diagnosis of cancer is always traumatic. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (or ALL) is the most common cancer in children.
When a family receives the emotionally devastating news that their child has ALL, they are thrown into a complex and unfamiliar
world that can be frightening. Knowing that ALL is very treatable with modern medicine, and understanding the disease and
how it is treated, can be helpful at this difficult time.
This video is designed to help families understand the disease and its treatment, and to provide reassurance and hope by looking
into the lives of children undergoing treatment, their families, and the health care team working to make their children healthy.
The Hospital for Sick Children, Dr. Oussama Abla and the AboutKidsHealth team are deeply grateful to the families and professionals
who opened their lives to make this movie possible, and acknowledge the remarkable bravery and spirit of the children you
will see in this video.
