For the writers of serial . Let me educate you a little bit before you try to give mumbo jumbo science to viewers . 😡

1. You have a 25% chance of a sibling match . Even if you get a couple pregnant , there is not chance that the off spring will be a good donor . a father has a 50% chance of a match and a mother has 50% chance of a match

2.A single blood test cannot diagnose leukemia .Elevated white cell count can be due to various reasons including a raging infection in body . You need Bone marrow biopsy, Cytogenetic analysis: Immunophenotyping: and Blood chemistry studies to diagnose ALL Once childhood ALL has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), testicles, or to other parts of the body. by doing ct scans , Lumbar puncture:by placing a needle into the spinal column.,Testicular biopsy:

3.The standard treatment of childhood leukemia -Chemotherapy & Radiation therapy - initial stage . if this fails THEN we go to chemo with stem cell transplant,which is giving high doses of anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells. This treatment often causes the bone marrow to stop making blood cells .Donor's bone marrow stem cell are then transplanted in patient to restore the bone marrow.

Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) is a type of anticancer drug which gives an excellent cure rates for som eleukemia .

The problem with the writers/producers for every day soaps is , that they live in a land of made believe .

Their job is to provide fun, entertainment and provide education. For example , ER , Greys Anatomy, CSI ,Crossing jordon, are prime example of education and fun combined.

You learn real science not cooked up stuff
