1501398209_e9c8746ac3_m

Okay so a child in my story hasn’t told his most appropriate crony he has it yet, so we need a little complications which can me traced behind to a mildew or diagnosis to occur during propagandize so which he has to be rushed to a hospital. Would him fainting since of a tired have sense? ANY IDEAS?

    i agree if the boy has been diagnoised with cancer it wil be very unlikely he wil be at school, cancer is a very hard subject, ever seen the film A walk to remember?? she has cancer and yet atended school and met a guy who she grew up with at school, she ended up falling in love and then telling him she has cancer and she is going to die,,, totally dint make sense cos if she was at the same school everybody would of known she had cancer i.e…treatment loosing your hair, having time off school, so dint make sense at all …so was a rubbish story,
    maybe if you wrote about the boys friend coming round to his house after school and maybe he finds a doctors letter or over hears his mum talking about it…i mean theres a waiting process for chemo sometimes so maybe he could be still attending school, but very doubtful til after he has recieved treatment, i mean if you want it to be a good book and look real id stay away from the fact hes still attending school, like i say id make it out he himself has only found out and his friend visits him and sees something relating to cancer???? good luck anyway on the book, and watch the film it wil make sense with how it was so unreal, lol

    fainting or spiking a fever would make sense, but the kid being in school after having been diagnosed and without his friend knowing he had it is a stretch to me. All the kids I know who have/had leukemia were in the hospital for weeks at a time when they were first diagnosed (or even before they got the diagnosis). Though it may be different where your story takes place, and all but one of those kids I met in the cancer ward…

    There are multiple types of leukemia. If your character is a child they would likely have something called acute lymphocytic leukemia. this type of leukemia often presents with fatigue, abrupt fevers, headaches, and joint pain. These patients are very susceptible to infection and can acquire horrible cellulitis and pneumonia. Or if you want something more amusing; they often get large spleens which rupture easily if hit when playing football.

    Perhaps you should try some online research. I put “leukemia” into Yahoo Search and got 36,700,000 responses. Lots of material out there.
