So the specific type of leukemia Oliver has is Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). I will leave it up to you if you would like to research it more. We have learned that this is the most common type of childhood leukemia and one of the most treatable.
We have also learned that he falls into the 'standard risk' group. The cancer has not spread to his spinal fluid or his testicles, which makes treatment a bit more straightforward. I am not exactly sure the exact statistic, but our doctor said that with current treatment techniques, 90% of standard risk cases his age are cancer free within seven years and go on to live normal lifspans.
