Type: article
Abstract: Case Neil was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 3. After induction chemotherapy failed to produce a remission, his family spent the next 6 months traveling around the country trying to find the best doctors and latest chemotherapy options. When they finally decided to seek treatment for Neil at a major children’s hospital hundreds of miles from their rural home, Neil and his mother moved to this city, where he spent the next 3-1/2 years in and out of eventually successful chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.
