Physician reacts to Osanju's leukemia diagnosis

She said:
"There are five types of leukemia. People with leukemia usually live for up to five years; however, those who live past five years have the possibility of surviving the illness."
"When you are suffering from leukemia, blood transfusions are often necessary. If he were a Jehovah's Witness, he may have refused a blood transfusion, though I cannot confirm whether that was the case."
