Answer 2

My son (22 years old) has chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and he is currently on a chemo drug called Gleevec. It has only been around a few years but it has had a very positive outcome in many patients that are using it, and most go into full remission without needing anything further. I don't know if you are ever completely cured, but you can be in full remission and be symptom free.

Gleevec is actually a new cancer drug that disables an abnormal enzyme in the cancerous cell and kills it, but leaves healthy cells untouched. My son has done very well on it (not everyone does) and his white blood cell counts have been in the normal range--compared to being sky high when he was first diagnosed. My son is also eating differently---a raw diet and also all organic foods which he believes has really helped him feel better.

AML is the acute version of leukemia and it requires real aggressive treatment like chemo and a bone marrow transplant, but a lot of people have had positive results after having treatment and have gone on to live a normal life.

So it really all depends on the type of leukemia you have and how long you have had it and the type of treatment you need and how well your body responds to it, in order to figure out what the survival rate would actually be. I am believing the best for my son to have a long and healthy life.

Answer 3

Most accute (aggressive) forms are highly curable in early stages. Success rates are around 85% (more or less depending on type and cell markers).

Chronic leukemias are usually not curable, but that might be due to a high average age of diagnosis. Elderly age at diagnosis usually means that treatment is more likely to shorten the life of the patient than to increase it. But usually for this type progression of the disease is slow, and the patient might be relatively asymptomatic for as long as 10 years.

Answer 4

Survival chances are bright if the patient does meditation for three to four hours daily after learning the same under the guidance of an experienced spiritual teacher.

Answer 5

Many people survive leukemia. Survival chances vary based on stage and type (there is more than 1 type of leukemia).

Answer 6

I believe so, I know one person that does not have this disorder of the blood anymore. She took a product called emu oil gel caps 3 tabs daily and 6 months later her blood work was back to normal.

In addition to consulting your doctor, you may wish to explore other ways of finding support and resources.

Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim) is prescribed to reduce the risk of infection (initially marked by fever) in patients with some tumors receiving chemotherapy that may decrease the number of infection-fighting white blood cells.

Rare cases of a ruptured spleen and sickle cell crises have been reported in postmarketing experience with Neulasta®. Report symptoms of abdominal or shoulder tip pain to your doctor immediately. In rare cases, serious allergic reactions can occur, causing a rash, shortness of breath, wheezing, dizziness (a drop in blood pressure), swelling around the mouth or eyes, fast pulse, or sweating. Sometimes these symptoms could come back within days after stopping treatment for the allergic reaction. If you get these symptoms at any time, stop using Neulasta® and call a doctor or get emergency care right away. If you have an allergic reaction during the injection of Neulasta®, stop the injection right away.

In a clinical study, mild to moderate bone pain occurred in 31% of the patients in the study taking Neulasta® and in 26% of the patients taking a placebo injection. In most cases, bone pain was controlled with a non-narcotic pain reliever, such as acetaminophen. Other common side effects reported by patients in the study taking either Neulasta® or placebo were consistent with the underlying cancer diagnosis and its treatment with chemotherapy, with the exception of bone pain.

While not reported in patients receiving Neulasta®, rare events of adult respiratory distress syndrome have been reported in patients receiving the parent compound, NEUPOGEN® (Filgrastim).
