This is a 11-year old boy named Tom. He is diagnosed with leukemia, and he wants to go to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Leukemia is a forming tissue cancer, it affects the bone marrow and lymphatic system. Involves white blood cells because they cannot function correctly. The Lymphatic System is a part of the Circulatory system and a vital part of the Immune System, it's comprising a network of Lymphatic vessels that carry away lymph(water)directly toward the heart . The white blood cells not working properly can cause easy bleeding or brushing. Fever,weakness,frequent or severe infections,and tiny red spots on your skin. People with leukemia can live up to 4 or 5 years depending on how severe it is. The medicine is needed is in the chemotherapy category.(This category means a serious of cancer treatment using chemicals)such as cerebrate,dun robin, rubicund, and/or minestrone. The equipment used for leukemia are lab tests,scans,and imaging tests. Tom should be in direct care at all times depending on the age. The transportation he is gonna need is an ambulance because Tom is might need a final assistance for his cancer and he can also can be accompanied by his family. He is also gonna need other minor medical equipment because in every World Cup, we know that the crowd is gonna scream at the top of their lungs for their team, so for this situation, he needs earmuffs to protect his ears from hurting and worse, bleeding. In Russia the altitude is high. This means its gonna be harder to breathe, since his body doesn't work that well, he needs an inhaler to help him breathe well. A good thing about leukemia is that it is NOT contagious.
