YES. I am 15 and I have ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia). I was diagnosed at age 5. A lot of people I know from the hospital who are around my age have ALL or CLL. Lymphocytic Leukemia, whether it is acute or chronic, mainly affects kids and teenagers.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia occurs rarely before the age of 45 and increases in incidence with each succeeding decade. Acute lymphocytic leukemia, by contrast, can occur at any age, but about half the cases occur in children under the age of 19, with the peak incidence occurring at about 4 years of age. In the United States, chronic lymphocytic leukemia accounts for about 7300 new cases of leukemia each year, and acute lymphocytic leukemia, for about 3100 new cases.

I'm not an expert on this but I believe that anyone of any age can have leukemia. Why don't you check out some of the leukemia web sites and see what they say?

It is rare that it would develop in someone younger than 45 but it is possible.
