Our daughter was diagnosed with ALL a month ago. Again, as you said this seems to be a theory under discussion and not a general medical consensus. What I've found in my limited exposure to the medical system so far is that their singular focus is on the treatment and they rarely if ever look back for data that could be correlated to a cause. She's our second child and had her first cold at a few weeks old. Our house has never been particularly tidy and my older daughter kept bringing in the cough, cold and fever from pre-school. Interestingly, she had never been a rather sickly child or one that lacked stamina and has weathered most of the cold and fevers brought home by the elder child surprisingly well. Then she got her flu shot a couple of months ago that resulted in a fairly raging reaction (which the doctors dismissed that the flu shot can't do), which led to appendicitis (unusual for a 3 yr old) which led to the eventual diagnosis of ALL.

Really sorry for the diagnosis your daughter has had. Our girls were about the same age at diagnosis. If you have any questions or want to chat anytime feel free to contact me. L
