""(My grandson's) issue is an autoimmune issue, right? It's leukemia," Mandel shared while seated next to his daughter. "In fact, that's the first time we've ever talked about it on camera." Leukemia is a type that affects the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. According to Mayo Clinic, there are types of leukemia, with some more common in children. Other forms of leukemia occur mostly in adults, the site states."
"Mandel explained that he and his daughter took his grandson to the hospital thinking he was sick with the flu at the time. "We've been on this dark roller coaster ever since, for years now." "We don't really talk about my son's health and the struggles going on within the family at all, like publicly, we do with our family, but it's nice to have that support system," Shultz said."
Howie Mandel's grandson received a leukemia diagnosis that the family disclosed publicly for the first time. Mandel's daughter, Jackelyn Shultz, became emotional recalling the moment she was told her son was sick. The family initially took the child to the hospital thinking it was the flu and have faced a prolonged, difficult period described as a 'dark roller coaster' lasting years. Leukemia affects bone marrow blood-forming cells and the lymphatic system, with some types more common in children. Family members, including wife Terry Mandel, have reached out and prioritized the child's health and family support.
