Do you know about Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia?

[GreenLadyBird5]

Is it possible to have this for over 10yrs as an adult? Undergoing chemo after chemo after chemo?

I don't know specific times but yes, chemo for maintenance of the illness does happen.

I mean maintenance of remission, sorry.

I know about CLL as my uncle has it. He has been having chemo now for over 10 years to keep it under control. Not permanently but on and off so probably once or twice a year and other treatments in-between. He leads a good life, has had to be very shielded the past 2 years, needs medical attention urgently if his temp goes above 38 but he goes on holiday etc....

I believe I read a story of this yes. The person had it for over ten years it kept reoccurring. Why do you ask?

Me. Maintenance chemo for ALL is definitely a thing, but also no idea how likely this is to be over 10yrs.

Sorry, ^that was meant to read SAME (not me). I've not had ALL.

I only know about childhood ALL

I think that sounds more Chronic than Acute?

Also wondering why you are asking?
