hello, my son is 4 and also has ALL. he is in remission. your doc tor should be able to give you an idea on expected survival rate. I will tell you this the rate of survival is higher in children especially girls (their treatment is also shorter). they told me because of the category my son was in his groups rate is 93%. some groups go as high as 97%. since she is 1 1/2 she is almost in the 2-10 yr category which stands the best chance. If you have anymore questions,just need someone to talk to, or would like to know what to expect from treatment please feel free to e-mail me at mikeycamen@yahoo.com I will be glad to help.

ALL is a rare form of cancer for adults. The prognosis for ALL over the last few years has improved with the worst progranosis being for the Ph+ or the Philadelphia Chromosome positive cases.
From all the research and especially the ones coming out of M D Anderson done by Hagop Kantarjian, Deborah thomas et al; the survival rate (usually for a 5 year time span) has improved to 55% even with the Ph+ diagnosis. However, the risks after a BMT usually remains i.e. a third chance of mortality within 100 days, a third mortality within 5 years and a long term survival of a third.
The usual recommendation is to do a BMT if there is a related match. In this case, if the BMT is done at first remission, then survival rates are higher than otherwise.

Today the survival rate is up to 50%. The best treatment is usually a marrow transplant from a matching family member.
Just type "Acute lymphoblastic leukemia" in the Google search field and you'll see lots of information.

for this reason you ought to calculate the survival price at each and each and every celebration of degree (e.g. 1st min , 2d min etc.). one which would want to be reachable is the probability price really than the Survival price. difficulty-free Survival price is the recommend time it survived. it coule be calculated as follows; a million merchandise survived until eventually eventually 5 minutes 2 gadgets survived until eventually eventually 6 minutes 5 gadgets survived until eventually eventually 7 minutes Then avg. survival price is = {(a million*5) + (2*6) + (5*7)}/8 = (5 + 12 + 35) / 8 = fifty 2/8 = 6.5 minutes Avg. survival is 6.5 minutes.

My husband had aml leukemia 8 years ago at age 18. I don't really know about the leukemia you are talking about. The Lord cured him. If you turn to God nothing is impossible. I will be praying for you all! May God bless her.

From my experience, 100% survival rate with the http://www.hacres.com diet. If you go natural, I would advise seeing a competent ND because you're going to need supplements (cancer's a disease of malnutrition) and be prepared for lots of organic coffee enemas. They cause your liver to release lots of antioxidants. The goal is to restore optimal health through nutrition not try to cure the disease. Restore your health and disease goes away. I also may not agree with everything Dr. Lorraine Day says, but her 10 principles of diet, sleep (10 - 2 the best), sunshine, stress reduction, spiritual/prayer, and others are sound. Please educate yourself at sites like http://www.newstarget.com, http://www.cancertutor.com, and http://www.pcrm.org.
