Does anyone know anything about Hairy Cell Leukemia?
Hairy Cell Leukemia is what my dad was diagnosed with. I heard it was highly treatable but im still worried. i searched on the internet but i can only find stuff about side effects. I would like to know about treatments and survival rate still. If anyone knows anything that would help a lot!...even if it doesnt put my mind at ease i would rather expect something bad then be surprised by it. ok thank you!

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has excellent information on Hairy Cell Leukemia on its website.
The site address is: http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org
I have also included a link under "source" to a pdf document from the society that has detailed information on HCL.
HCL is indeed highly treatable. I could not find a consensus figure on the survival rate but I assure you it is very high. I am sure your dad will be ok.
