3 year matured have leukemia?

I know someone who was just diagnosed with leukemia 2 weeks ago, she is three years weak.
Does everyone die from it?
She's just a little girl.
Answers:    Cancer of any nice is dangerous - there is no such thing as a virtuous cancer. Leukemia takes lives of children and adults every day but at the same time, nearby are many survivors that are in remission and doing very very well. The most common cancer for children and young people is leukemia, and the most adjectives type of leukemia is called either Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). How well a forgiving does depends on so many different factors including age, cell counts, what type and subtype of leukemia he or she has, the will to row, and so many other factors.

My son E was diagnosed with a Wilms' Tumour as a newborn, won his scuffle, and was recently diagnosed with Secondary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). AML is relatebeside yourselfLL but is still quite different. His cancer is most likely a secondary cancer cause by the chemotherapy his first time when he fought Wilms. E somehow passed his screenings he has every 3 months back in October but surrounded by the end of November we started to notice he wasn't quite himself, and he be diagnosed December 19th.

There are lots of symptoms of leukemia but each individual is different. Some display some symptoms while others display other ones. E had a cold in November that he freshly couldn't kick. We took him to the doctor and he was given an antibiotic. He got for a moment better but as soon as he finished the antibiotic he got sick again. He usually has a couple bruises here and there since he is a 2 year antiquated. His walking was greatly affected from one of the drugs in his first chemo cocktail so he trips and falls pretty habitually. But the bruising he had was more than usual - he bruised at the slightest bump. That's when we really knew something be wrong and took him to the doctor again. Once he was diagnosed we found out that his spleen and liver were enlarged - also symptoms of leukemia. Due to the extent of enlargement of his spleen, he had it removed after a round of chemotherapy. So far he have had 3 strong doses of chemo, 3 consolidation rounds, on his 4th right now, and he's labeled as being within remission! He still has 2-4 rounds of consolidation chemo left just to engineer sure all of the cancerous cells are gone then he'll own a bone marrow transplant when a donor becomes available.
pe this helped you out some, the most important point to take from this is that LEUKEMIA IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE.

I'm sorry roughly speaking this all, the good thing is leukemia very soon has a very high cure rate, especially for ALL which is the most adjectives kind of childhood leukemia, and what i would guess this girl has (but i'm not sure) AML, and APL are harder to cure, but still have a haphazard. Many people survive leukemia, or go into a remission for many heaps years. Some may relapse, but even after that there's hope, with more of the same chemo, trying a new helpful, clinical trials, or a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. If the mother saved her cord blood that can be infused into her, and really save her life (it's full of stem cells). Best of luck to her Source(s): 15 year elderly leukemia patient (i got it when i was 11)
Not Everyone Lives, but not everyone dies either. Like Sami said, My Sisters Keeper is a really honest book/movie about a girl with Leukemia.
Don't lose hope, It's not the worst didease in the world :)
Luck and distribute my wishes to the poor girl :)

Not everyone dies from it, theres other a chance like with any other cancer. I know of several people who have lived through cancer to tell their stories. My own grandfather for example have Coleen cancer and is still living today.
A teacher at my school, my neighbor. Keep faith and hope. Try reading the book telephone call 'My Sisters Keeper' its a story similar to yours, a young girl age 3 with leukemia who lived.
I'm sorry to hear this

It depends on the type, if it's ALL (which is the most common) that's easiest to cure, there is a thoroughly high survival rate with ALL

AML and APL are more aggressive (I had AML) they can still be cured though
emia is treated beside chemotherapy. If the patient replases, then a bone marrow transplant may be needed.

All the best Source(s): 15 year old leukemia survivor
