Zero to normal, depending: Which leukemia? What are the patient's genetics? Is the patient an otherwise healthy, female, hispanic, early stage, aggressively-treated child? A sickly, male, caucasian, late stage 90-year old with no health care plan?
100 day mortality - under 10% in all leukemias, but higher in males, elderly, poor health care, black, late-stage and sickly people.
According to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society:
Five years without symptoms - survival rates:
* Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL): 64.6 percent overall; 88.4 percent for children under 5
* Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): 74.2 percent
* Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML): 19.8 percent overall; 52 percent for children under 15
* Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML): 39.3 percent
Two year survival rate - add 5-10% to above numbers.
Complete remission - subtract 5-20% from above numbers.

I don't think that can be determined by the information you give. It depends if it is acute or chronic leukemia and there are a lot of variables.

I am sorry it really depends and most of the time the time table is wrong or not acurate enough nobody can really do the exact math. I wish you the best of luck and God Bless. My fresh man year of high school a girl was diagnosed they said about her entire high school career she would live but she died 2 months into the school year.

My best friend had leukemia when she was a toddler, and she survived it. It was painful on it, but you should absolutely NOT tell yourself that you will die. You have a good chance of surviving. Just believe it's possible.

Depends on many factors. What type of leukemia, age, other health factors, treatments they receive, etc., etc.

There r too many variables to accurately answer this question.My 68 y/o mother lasted 10 mos. from diagnosis to death. two weeks before she died her oncologist sent her home with a false sense of hope and joy by telling her she was in remission .
