newly diagnosed in 31/1/2007 at a local university hospital. stayed one week at hospital as preparation for chemotherapy. Somehow the child was very apprehensive/afraid of needle. I think must be needle phobia.
Then the parents made decision to bring her back without chemotherapy.
presented to me 1 months later with extreme pallor. advised again by so many people for chemotherapy. yet parents still refused.
all they want is to blood transfusion and then discharged.
true enough to my prediction. they came in again in another months time. extreme pallor, with lots of bruises. transfused blood again. being told that their illness is very critical.
White cell count of 173 x 10^9/L.
Discharged after blood transfusion.
readmitted one week later with sudden loss of consciousness. collapsed at home.
sent to ICU one day. died after 8 hours of admission.
parents said i want chemotherapy now......
