In the doctor's office.
As soon as he sat down, he handed the forms to Hendrix and uttered, "This is the child’s test results sheet. The amount of ALL cells in the lymph nodes, liver and spleen are above average, her bones and joints are also relatively damaged. The value of white blood cells is serious. All indicators show that the child's situation is not optimistic."
I almost fell to the ground. Hendrix quickly supported me and helped me sit on the chair. His hands, which had always been calm and steady, trembled slightly. He looked at the doctor and asked, "What should we do?"
The doctor looked at us and replied, "The symptoms of acute leukemia are difficult to control. At this moment, the recovery rate of this kind of disease is still very high, but it needs the cooperation of the family members and the patients. We will do everything possible to help her.
