NAOKO'S STORY

When my son was diagnosed as leukaemia, I was confused and struggled with understanding his condition and treatment. I was feeling miserable because as a mother, I couldn't protect him, couldn't do anything, even couldn't understand enough what was happening to my son. It was the toughest moment ever for me.

Prof. Allen Yeoh explained my son's condition and treatments in very clear way. He answered any questions. Sometimes he introduced other patients who helped me to gained a better understanding. He gave us a lot of information and options so that we could make the best decisions for my son. I gradually gained confidence thanks to his attitude and guidance.

Of course, treatment itself is very important but a doctor's attitude really lights up and lightens up the hearts of patients and families. He is a doctor who understands how patients are feeling. Prof. Allen's research work is excellent and important in establishing better cures for children with leukaemia like my son.
