Kisah Reyvando

Helplessly sitting in a wheelchair - this is what Reyvando, a child from Palangkaraya, experiences. Reyvando was diagnosed of having acute lymphocytic leukemia at an early age. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is a type of bone and blood cancer. This disease is classified into two types: acute and chronic. Acute lymphocytic leukemia develops very quickly and suddenly, affecting the development of blood cells. Cells affected by leukemia lymphoma are B lymphocytes or T lymphocytes.

Reyvando has already got chemotherapy and blood transfusion. He must also withstand all the symptoms due to chemotherapy or because of his own illnesses such as headaches, abdominal pain, fatigue, pallor or bruising. Reyvando's face look pale, indeed, but he still tried to smile sincerely disregarding his pain.

Because of his illness, this 10-year-old child must undergo various medical check-ups and routine medications during the therapy. His father is an ordinary employee whose income is only enough to eat everyday. The cost of going to the hospital like transportation costs is quite a burden for the Reyvando family.
