Walter Schmidt couldn't believe what he was hearing, Emma Benson's legs wobbled, and she collapsed weakly to the ground.
She was a doctor and understood very well what acute lymphoblastic leukemia represented; it often connected with death, being a malignant tumor disease originating from the abnormal proliferation of B-lineage or T-lineage lymphocytes within the bone marrow.
The abnormal proliferating primitive cells can accumulate in the bone marrow and suppress normal hematopoietic function, and they can also invade extramedullary tissues.
Such as meninges, lymph nodes, glands, liver, etc., commonly called blood cancer; unless a matching bone marrow transplant is found, it is impossible to cure!
And bone marrow transplants are exceedingly difficult, nowadays most patients with this condition worldwide cannot find a match, at most relying on medication to prolong life.
The lucky ones may live for several years, the unfortunate ones often can't even last a few months...
