Is there a cure for acute lymphocytic leukemia?
My boyfriend that is 21 was just recently diagnosis with it. It is most commonly found in children or adults in their 60's. I have been researching it and getting different answers. Can someone let me know if there is a cure and if he will be able to live a long healthy life after this. Right now he i doing R hyper CVAD chemotherapy.
