My friend is 80 and has ALL and at last count her WBC was 145,000 she has be undergoing different types of Chem they were going down, but now they are higher than when she was first diagnosed a little over a year ago. Her spleen now seems to be enlarged. What do you think her prognosis is for remission if any?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment of ALL is chemotherapy depends on stage and blast percentage. Definitive treatment is bone marrow transplantation. At age of 80 prognosis remains poor with any kind of treatment and life expectancy is not good. One should not expect much from this. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
