SINGAPORE - When Caleb Lee was in Secondary 2 in 2018, he woke up one morning to jolts of pain in his thighs that were so excruciating that his mother had to take him to a polyclinic.
He was referred to KK Women s and Children s Hospital that same day, where he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a type of cancer.
The St Hilda s Secondary School student told The Straits Times: Everything went downhill so fast and I was warded immediately. When the doctor told my mother (the diagnosis), she came out of his office crying. I thought What did I do to deserve this? . I was also crestfallen because there was not much I could do to change my condition.
