Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years and 8 months old. Last October, she was diagnosed with leukemia (acute lymphoblastic leukemia, intermediate risk) after visiting the doctor for a cough. She then started chemotherapy. Currently, she has poor appetite, a slightly yellow complexion, and a hemoglobin level of 85. Additionally, she is quite reluctant to take traditional Chinese medicine. She has visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine three times, and sometimes she wants to vomit when she takes the medicine or even smells it.Doctor's answer:
Leukemia is primarily treated with chemotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine seems to play a non-deterministic role, and it is not recommended to use it concurrently during chemotherapy.
