When I was a kid, hearing leukemia basically meant there was no hope. These days, I know families whose kids went through treatment and are now living totally normal lives. It’s pretty amazing that survival rates went from under 10% to over 80% in just a few decades.
But in a lot of places, access to basic diagnosis and treatment is still way behind. The science is there, but making sure every kid can actually benefit from it is still the real challenge. Even within the same country, your outcome can depend way too much on where you live or what you can afford.
