In April 2017, Kabir complained of wrist pain after his family returned from a Disney cruise vacation. Nothing was found on the X-ray, but the following week he started having severe ankle pain and intermittent fevers. His pediatrician saw him two days before he was diagnosed but during the day in between, his mom felt like something was very wrong. Kabir lost his color, had dark circles around his eyes, and looked extremely fatigued. They went to the ER the following day and he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia within the hour. That same day, doctors transferred Kabir to Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford.
He was diagnosed with PH+ ALL in April 2017, relapsed in CNS in July 2019, received car-t at CHOP, and relapsed in organ in July 2020. He then went on to a BMT and dealt with many complications to this day.
