A three-year-old Filipino girl who has been seeking treatment in Singapore since last month died on Thursday (31 March) from a rare form of leukemia.

Caitlin Soleil “Caitie” Lucas was brought by her family to Singapore for treatment on February 21 after doctors in the Philippines who attended to her could not diagnose her disease. She was suffering from various ailments such as skin lesions, diarrhea and bleeding in her tools.

Doctors at the National University Hospital, where “Caitie” was warded, later found out that she was suffering from juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), a rare cancer of the blood. According to the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, JMML accounts for less than 1 per cent of all childhood leukemias.

The family has been giving updates about her condition through the “Courageous Caitie” Facebook page. In one post after she passed away, the family wrote, “Rest now Caitie. No more wires, no more pokes, no more tears.”

According to the Facebook page, the family plans to return to the Philippines on Friday and cremate “Caitie” on Sunday.
