Adult survivors ’ perception of their childhood and the influences of being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as a child: a phenomenographic study

Adults who had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) as children and were treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) may have been affected in their lives due to several long-term complications. From a clinical point of view, it is of interest to study how survivors describe their perceptions of their childhood today. The aim was therefore to describe how adults perceived their childhood and the influences of being treated for ALL with aHSCT as a child.
