Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a condition that can can be cured with proper treatment. Children respond well to treatment for cancer and you must get your child treated at CMC Vellore. Cost is high and please try to approach doctors at a tertiary cancer research center under recommendation from CMC Vellore. There is Regional cancer center in Trivandrum and Bangalore and these are government institutes for treatment of cancer. Depending on the state you belong to you can get a referral to one of these centers and then take treatment from there. Treatment is good even in Government hospitals and I have myself worked in such an institute for 3 years and have seen many children make complete recovery from this type of cancer present in your child. Please do not worry.
