Diagnosed at 8,
acute myeloid leukemia
Since he was diagnosed with leukemia,
8-year-old Allen has had to wrestle some tough
realities.
He’s faced them down with maturity and
courage, inspired by the goal of returning to his two favorite
activities – riding his bicycle and playing with his friends at
school.
“Before he was sick, Allen was the
kind of child who never stopped running, never complained of
being tired,” says his mom, Candelaria. “But he also has a
serious side, and he understands that now he has to take it
easy.”
Allen is fighting acute myeloid
leukemia, more difficult to cure than other more common forms of
childhood leukemia. Benefiting from Texas Children’s
Cancer Center’s dedication to being at the forefront of cancer care,
Allen has received the latest treatments available for his
disease. His family also has found comfort tin the center’s
compassionate approach to care and its family centered programs.
“We know we get the latest and best
treatments possible at Texas Children’s,” Candelaria says.
“Everyone there takes such good care of Allen – and of us as a
family."
