Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
ALL is a most common leukemia found in children.Your consulting doctor is going in right way.After induction therapy your doctor will do B.M.T.
It is very nice and that you got matched donor. B.M.T has very good results so wait for finishing of induction phase chemotherapy.
Thanx and All the best.
