At what point, should treatment start in elderly Leukemia patients?
My father was diagnosed with Leukemia about a year ago. His white blood cell count is at 30,000 now. 4 months ago it was at 11,000. When is treatment recommended and what type is typical? His Dr said he would begin treatment if his levels reached 60,000 but didn't say what type of treatment. Chemotherapy? Radiation? What is most usually recommended? I would love any information you could share with me! Thanks!
