Leukemia was truly such a heart-rending disease. It was incredibly difficult to deal with. Out of all the malignant cancer types, leukemia ranked #6 in death rate in China. However, leukemia also ranked #1 in death rate as a cancer which killed children and adults younger than age 35!
That was the scariest part about leukemia. Young children who hadn't even grown up to mature yet would be forced to bear such tremendous pain so early in their life. The hematology department at larger hospitals would always be filled with bald young children. This was something truly heartbreaking and painful to behold.
