Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Remission?
Okay, one of my very close friends ( a child, 9 years old) was diagnosed with ALL in January of 2009. She is currently being treated at St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital, 2 or 3 weeks after her treatment and mrd test showed that less than 1% of Leukemia cells remained (meaning she is in remission), she is still undergoing treatment as it is almost a 3 year treatment plan. But I was wondering what the chances of a relapse are and what the prognosis may be if she did relapse.
Thanks.

The treatments for leukemia have been very successful lately. I'm not sure of each type, but my cousin's little girl had some type when she was 8, had treatment after treatment, finally got a bone marrow transplant from her sister around age 12. She is now considered cured and is around 19 years old.
