Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML)

Being told that your child has acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) can be a shock and incredibly upsetting for everyone, particularly when you may never have heard of the disease. If you have questions about childhood AML – what causes it, who it affects, how it affects your child’s body, what symptoms to expect and likely treatments – this booklet covers the basics for you.

Please note - this is a digital download only and you will not receive a hardcopy through the post.
