What do Treatments for Leukemia or Blood Cancer?

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bu Ani Yudhoyono, the former first lady of Indonesia who is diagnosed with acute leukemia or blood cancer. Thank Lord, she is optimistic about her condition, and she is getting better.

Many years ago, we knew that leukemia was a childhood disease, actually leukemia also is diagnosed in elderly people between 65 to70 year-old. Mikkael Sekeres, MD, a doctor in Hematology and Medical Oncology Department Cleveland Clinic, explained that he had a patient with leukemia in his 60s and undergoes intensive chemotherapy. Sekeres said that this patient had about 60 percent chance of going into discharged, because all signs and symptoms of cancer gone, even the cancer may still be in his body. He also had another patient, and he said, “My 99-year-old patient walked three miles a day before undergoing treatment for leukemia and lived for another year after treatment.”

So, what do treatments for leukemia or blood cancer? There are several factors that will determine the treatment regimen, such as: the type of leukemia. subtype, phase, category and/or stage, cytogenetic analysis results, symptoms, overall health, WBC count, the rate of disease progression, infection in the bloodstream, and the effect treatments.

A patient should discuss with oncologist about both the options of treatments and the effects into quality of life. There are some treatments, and a patients might be recommended one or more (lls.org): Watch and wait, no treatment until doctor can see symptoms appear or change. Chemotherapy, chemotherapy drugs and/or anti-cancer agent drugs. Radiation, using x-ray. Immunotherapy, exploit immune system to fight cancer. Blood transfusion, blood from donor to replace red blood, platelets, and other components. Cancer vaccines, to treat cancer and reduce its potential to grow. Stem cell transplantation, stem cells from donor (normally from sister or brother) transfuse to patient's marrow and then new cells will grow.

Proud of Bu Ani Yudhoyono, she realizes that a person diagnosed with acute leukemia can be treated and still has a good quality of life. Live longer, Bu Ani. We love you.

      Oya bicara ttg leukimia, saya ada saudara yg kena ini. Mungkin krn tau sakitnya sudah terlambat dan sudah stadium 4, dia hanya bertahan 6 bulan saja. Sedih sih, tapi mungkin bener kalau rasa optimis ada penyakit pun bisa kita lawan, meski tidak mudah, btw iklan poker diatas hapus saja mba, nti dianggam spam sama google

      Kadang kita terlambat menyadari kalau kita benar-benar sakit, tau-tau udah stadium 4.

    A patient with leukemia has to undergo intensive chemotherapy. Can this therapy really kill the cancer cells or it just relieves the signs and symptoms?

    Ya Allah, baru tahu soal Bu Ani. Semoga dilipatgandakan kesabarannya dan keluarganya.

    Entah kenapa, saya selalu ngeri plus sedih baca penyakit seperti ini, semoga kita dijauhkan dari penyakit-penyakit kronis seperti ini.
    Saya juga baru tau bu Ani kena kanker darah di instagramnya, sedih banget deh.
    Tapi untungnya anak2nya bisa gantian merawat beliau di RS ya.
    Semoga bu Ani segera pulih dan digugurkan dosanya melalui sakitnya aamiin :)

    Ada beberapa orang bilang katanya kalau penyakit leukimia itu penyakit yang belum ada penyembuhnya,,,kalaupun ada itu bukan penyembuh tapi hanya meringankan gejalanya,,,apa itu benar?

    Terpaksa deh, minta bantuan google translite. Saya dulu juga punya teman yang menindap penyakit tersebut, katanya jatah umurnya sekian, eh sampai saat ini masih sehat walafiat.
    Kalau ada widget translitenya enak pasti ya.

    setelah dari google translate, ternyata tidak sembarangan treatments untuk leukemia, harus berdiskusi dulu sebelumnya tentang pilihan treatments.

    Eh, baru tahu kalau leukimia juga bisa muncul saat sudah dewasa. Berarti memang harus rajin tes kesehatan ya, kalau semakin berumur.

    I'm just going to be straight forward, if you or anyone you know has AML or any other kind of leukemia what you need to do is contact Dr Bayo Ewebe on Dr.bayoherbalkingdom(at)yahoocom because that's what I did and that's why I'm still f*cking breathing if I go on to tell my story I'm sure this website is gonna barn me for too much write up but in a nut shell that man I wrote up there saved my life, I don't know or even care how he or the herbal meds he made for me did it what matters is that he f*cking saved my life, I wish I could yell right now cos I see a lot of people die and still dying but I'm alive and no one has to die, alright I got to stop I'm writing too much already, just don't die it's terrifying, send the f*cking mail!
