Teenager's Back Pain Unveils Shocking Leukaemia Diagnosis
Alyssa Hann, a 16-year-old girl from Adelaide, initially sought relief from a chiropractor for a backache but later experienced excruciating pain. After being admitted to the hospital, tests revealed she had hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and acute myeloid leukemia. Alyssa, an active teenager who played Aussie rules football, will now undergo two cycles of chemotherapy and require a bone marrow transplant. Her family has started a GoFundMe page to help with treatment expenses. The cause of her back pain remains unknown, but doctors suspect it may be related to the cancer affecting her spine.
