Mark Peterson, Kathy Peterson and Dr. Michael A. Weiner, Children's Hospital of New York, College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, March 21, 2001 Weiner (right): ''When parents first hear the word 'leukemia,' they are absolutely devastated. They think, 'Oh, my God, my son is going to die.' Their world stops. But during that hour and a half that I sit with them, we go into the nuances of treatment and cure. I give families news in a sequence starting from the test results that confirm the diagnosis -- in this case leukemia. I give them information about the particular type of leukemia, give the treatment plan and go back and reiterate. The quote-unquote bad news I mention once or twice and mention the good news five, six or eight times so that's what they'll walk away with. Today we can offer children a cure rate that approaches 85 percent. I try not to allow any thoughts of that 15 percent to creep in. I am hopeful. That's what I want to convey.
