My niece Summer (on my wife’s side) died from complications of leukaemia a couple of years ago, aged 13. They say the survival rate is now >=90%, but someone has to be the ~10% who don’t and unfortunately she was one of them. It wasn’t directly from leukaemia, she had a blood clot (apparently a side effect of chemotherapy) and that caused a fatal pulmonary embolism.
